HK＄400C.HK$3600D. HK$2400BJon D. Giorgini says he isn’t losing sleep yet over 1950 PA, the kilometer wide asteroid(小行星) that he predicted might hit the planet Earth. After all, if it hits, it won’t get here for 878 years. Researchers at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory also spotted a space rock--- about the size of a football field--- passing by Earth just 75,000 miles away. Named 2002 MN, it came closer than any similar-size asteroid had in recent years. Giorgini spoke with NEWSWEEK’s Adam Piore last week. Here is an excerpt.PIORE:According to your research, is this something we should be worried about? GIORGINI: well, not this particular asteroid, 1950 PA, because it’s so far off. It’s 878 years in the future, but it’s possible that there are other asteroids we haven’t discovered yet that could impact sooner. The purpose is to find these things as soon as possible. If there are centuries of warning, there are many things you can do about the threat. But if you only find out about it the last day or two, or the last year, there’s not much you can do.PIORE:What would happen if one of these things hit?GIORGINI:There was an incident where an asteroid nearly the size of 2002 MN hit in Tunguska, Siberia, back in 1908. It exploded in the air and flattened about 800 miles of forested area. 1950 DA would carry about 100,000 megatons(百万吨级) of energy if it hit. It would make a crater(陨石坑)about 10 or 15 miles across and destroy hundreds or thousands of miles around it, kick up dust and steam into the atmosphere. Some would even orbit the Earth for a while. It would be a global problem.PIORE:What should we do about 1950 DA?GIORGINI:In hundreds of years, it’s hard to imagine what ways we’ll have to deal with it. It’s sort of like guys 900 years ago trying to plan the interstate highway system. It would probably be more sensible to leave it to future generations. If you have centuries of warning like this, you can just change the way it absorbs and reflects light and heat. Sunlight shines on it and heats one side, and it turns around to the back and the heat radiates off into space and sort of pushes on it like a weak rocket. Over centuries, it’s enough to push it out of the way.51.The main purpose of Piore interviewing Giorgini is ________.A.to announce an astonishing predictionB.to publicize the significance of a researchC.to warn people of the coming threatD.to create a sensational effect52.What is Giorgini really worried about?A. Unidentified outer space rocks.B. Undiscovered approaching small asteroidsC. The tremendous impact of 2002MND. The potential threat of 1950 PA.53.Giorgini mentioned the asteroid explosion in Tunguska because he would ________.pare the explosion to that of 2002 MN.B.give an impression of an asteroid hitting the earth.C.estimate the property damage a space object causedD.describe a disaster bigger than a nuclear explosion in human history54.Which of the following statements is TURE?A. Ancient people attempted to build main roads connecting cities or states.B. Humans are now in a position to take action on 1950 PA.C. One solution Giorgini suggested is to launch a rocket towards 1950 PA and push it away.D. One solution Giorgini suggested is to change the direction of sunlight shining on 1950 PA.CThe wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in return—now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spendi ng it should happen in half a blink (眨眼) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters?But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone of an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble (鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.55. What is happening to the wallet?A) It is disappearing. C) it is becoming costly. B) It is being fattened. D) It is changing in style.56. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?A) Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.B) The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.C) Earning money is getting more difficult.D) Spending money is so fast and easy.57. Why does the author choose to write about what’s happening to the wallet?A) It represents a change in the modern world.B) It has something to do with everybody’s life.C) It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.D) It is the concern of contemporary economists.58.What can we infer from the passage about the author?A) He is resistant to social changes.B) He is against technological progress.C) He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.D) He fells insecure in the ever-changing modern world.DWhy do some people live to be older than others？You know the standard explanations：keeping a moderate diet，engaging in regular exercise，etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity（长寿）? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives？A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing，more active and less neurotic （神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory：those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly，however，other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were moreself-disciplined，for instance，were no more likely to live to be very old. Also，being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life，which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life，you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately，another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28，000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious，depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to b reak when we’re adults，which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn’t destiny（命运），and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.59. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is____.A）to see whether people’s personality affects their life spanB）to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their healthC）to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeD）to examine all the factors contributing to longevity60. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people？A）They have a good understanding of evolution.B）They are better at negotiating an agreement.C）They generally appear more resourceful.D）They are more likely to get over hardship.61. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation？A）Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.B）Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.C）Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.D）Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.62.What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies？A）Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span.B）Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.C）Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.D）Health is in l arge part related to one’s lifestyle.第II 卷（38分）I.

If we think about it, even realistic writing is only __54__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than __55__. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of thinking. When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our __56__, which is real, and our imagination, which is real in a different way, to make the words come to life in our minds.Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read something realistic, we have to __57__ that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we __58__ that we are real and they are not. It sounds __59__, but it works.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read in Ripley’s Believe It or Not, or Good Housekeeping, Reader’s Digest, and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. And since she cleaned many houses each week, we had a great assortment. She would look through them all, searching for stories about remarkable children.The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries.“What’s the capital of Finland?”my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story.All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.The tests got harder. One night I had to look at a page from the Bible for three minutes and then report everything I could remember.“Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance and … that’s all I remember, Mother,”I said.Seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror above the bathroom sink and when I saw only my face staring back –and that it would always be this ordinary face—I began to cry. I made high-pitched noises like a crazed animal, trying toscratch out the face in the mirror.66. The passage is mainly about _______.A. how Mother taught“me”the basic skillsB. how Mother tried to find“my”talentC. how Mother encouraged“me”to studyD. how Mother changed“my”life67. It can be concluded from the passage that“other magazines”______.A. contain various informationB. were kept as a collectionC. contain stories of remarkable childrenD. were given as a reward for Mother’s work68. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Nairobi is the capital city of California.B. Mother didn’t know the capital of Finland clearly as well.C.“My”guess of the capital turned out to be the right answer.D. Mother was satisfied with“my”performance.69. Which of the following words best described“my”overall reaction to Mother’s stimulation?A. Contented and thankful.B. upset and painful.C. Contented yet anxious.D.

A law student taking her final exam wakes up with a blinding headache. A runner twists his ankle minutes before a big race. These are all perfect examples of cruel fate.Or are they? Psychologists who study such common accidents now believe that in many instances they may be carefully arranged schemes of the subconscious mind and that people often engage in a form of self-defeating behavior known as self-handicapping—or, in plain terms, excuse-making. It’s a simple process: By taking on a crippling handicap（a serious obstacle），a person makes it more likely that he or she will fail at a career. Though it seems like a crazy thing to do, researchers say it is actually a clever trick of the mind, one that sets up a win-win situation byallowing a person to save face when he or she does fail.A classic self-handicapper is the French chess player Deschapelles who quickly became champion of his region. But when competition grew tougher, he adopted a new condition for all matches: He would compete only if his opponent would remove one of Deschapelles’ pawns（卒）and make the first move, increasing the odds（几率）that Deschapelles would lose. If he did lose, he could blame it on the other player’s advantage; but if he won against such odds, he would be more respected for his amazing talents. Psychologists now use the term“Deschapelles coup”to refer to cats of self-handicapping popular in today’s world.Overall, men are more likely than women to make excuses. Several studies suggest that men feel the need to appear competent in all realms, while women worry only about the skills in which they’ve invested heavily. Ask a man and a woman to go scuba diving（浮潜）for the first time, and the woman is likely to jump in, while the man is likely to first make it known that he’s not feeling too well.In fact, the people most likely to become habitual excuse makers are those obsessed with success, says the researcher. Such people are so afraid of being labeled a failure at anything that they constantly develop one handicap or another in order to explain their failures.Self-handicapping may be an effective way of coping with performance anxiety. In the end, researchers say, it is a Faustian bargain（浮士德契约）. Over the long run, excuse makers fail to live up to their true potential. And despite their protests to the contrary, they have only themselves to blame.73. It can be inferred from the passage that a student who wanted to engage in self-handicappingwould most probably ______.A. work as hard as possible for an important examB. get drunk the night before a big examC. try to cheat on a test to get a high scoreD. take down only the key points of the class74. What of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Men are more competent in whatever they are involved in.B. Women are more likely to adopt Deschapelles coup when faced with challenges.C. Deschapelles’ way of self-handicapping was to give his opponents more advantages.D. By self-handicapping, Deschapelles succeeded in showing the true limits of his ability.75. By saying“it is a Faustian bargain”, researchers mean that ______.A. self-handicapping is often an effective method of dealing with anxietyB. habitual excuse-making is an indication of one’s depressionC. excuse-makers will suffer from the destructive behavior eventuallyD. self-handicapping behavior is a difficult and complex process to understand76. Which of the following is the main idea of the article?A. The story of a classic self-handicapper, Deschapelles.B. An analysis on strategies that people use to avoid embarrassment.C. A comparison between the ways men and women avoid embarrassment after failure.D. The psychological tricks some people use to avoid feeling embarrassed after failure.Section C（4分）Directions：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Small markets are an important part of South Africa’s economy, these business offer jobs in a country with unemployment rate of at least 25 percent. But immigrant-owned and international businesses are increasing their share of South African markets, which has hurt local traders who run little shops called spazas.John Stheole has owned his spaza for more than ten years. It is a small grey building in Dube village, in the Soweto area of the capital Johannesburg. ___77___Spaza means“just getting buy”. The shops are found in non-white communities where larger, more official stores are not available or are too costly. There are about 100,000 spazas in South Africa, they employ 290,000 people.

He worked in his backyard, mixing and heating different mixtures of oils and flavors （香料） 2 he found one that seemed to work well. Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drugstores as a concentrated（浓缩的）syrup（糖浆）that the customer had to 3 with water before drinking. The invention of Cola came about quite by accident. One day, a customer came into a drugstore complaining of a headache and 4 a bottle of cola syrup. He wanted to take it 5 . So he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. The clerk, 6 walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, 7 mixing the syrup with soda water.

That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he gra duated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.11．What does the author mean by “I wasn’t the only beneficiary”?A．His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.B．Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.C．Other family members’ enthusiasm has great effe cts on his stepmother.D．There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.12．According to the author, ______ before his stepmother came into his life.A．his father had been away from home for a long timeB．people had noticed his intelligenceC．he knew how to release his enthusiasm properlyD．he was considered a rude boy with wild behaviors13．The author’s stepmother did all the following EXCEPT ______.A．giving some writing lessons to him at homeB．moving the family into the centre of the countyC．planning the future for each family memberD．praising him from the bottom of her heart14．Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?A．Enthusiasm, a Source of AuthorityB．Enthusiasm, a Gift from my FatherC．Enthusiasm, a Trend in FamiliesD．Enthusiasm, a Power for SuccessFamily fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each ot her because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seems to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together. 15．From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A．people had better avoid family fights.B．family members fight to control each otherC．family fights can be changed into something positiveD．when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness16．In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A．satisfy the need to be listened to firstB．make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC．pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD．stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders17．When the situation gets out of contro l, it’s best to ______.A．wait for a suitable moment to speakB．let the other person express their feelingsC．work on a written agreement firstD．move on to problem solving18．The main purpose of this article is to ______.A．tell readers that family fights are not that badB．teach reader how to listen in family fightsC．remind readers to show respect in family fightsD．give advice on dealing with family fights第II卷（非选择题）三、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It is not unusual for us to gather with our nearest and dearest on the weekends. But do you know that holid ays, much like relationships, can be “made, 29．and broken” through conversations? Deborag Tannen, a Georgetown University linguistics（语言学）professor,believes so. She offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table and beyond. Let’s take a look.A round dining table is best for 30．a lively conversation because everyone faces one another.Avoid 31．grandparents at the ends of a rectangular table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. Elderly people may feel lonely there because they will be 32．to hear or keep up with a conversation.Women prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk. Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed keeping staring on the TV,” says Tannen. “They’ll still be 33．, though.”Be 34．that people have different ways of talking. Each person has a different sense of tone, rhythm, timing and how long of a pause is normal in a conversation. Pay attention to people who seem left out. If you feel you are doing all the talking, hold back to give others a chance to join in. If you feel you aren’t getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start talking before it seems natural or 35．.Some families find that gatherings go more 36．if they participate in an outdoor activity.

There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.38．. They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen.39．. But studies shows that at least one person in every 50 is a super recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find whether super recognizers have a different way to process faces. They have found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person’s nose. 40．. Their super ability is limited to only to recognizing faces.Another important finding is that there are subtypes（子类型）of super recognition. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present a pair of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. 41．. Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage（闭路电视镜头）. They could also help police spot bad guys or even missing people in crowds.A．However, studies have found a small number of people have amazing face recognition skills.B．Researchers have tried to find how certain people are so good at recognizing faces.C．It is also found that these people are not particularly smarter than others.D．It is unknown how many people truly have these skills.E．For instance, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint.F．Many super recognizers say they are good at spotting faces in a crowd.六、汉译英Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.42．经常锻炼，你会受益匪浅的。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Auditing（旁听）classes at university is an ideal way of learning or trying out new areas of study without committing yourself. You can study alongside fellow students without any obligation to ___41___ in formal assessments or gain credits for your degree.The trend of auditing university classes has ___42___ across universities. Recently, Fudan Postgraduate, a publication ___43___ Fudan University, even released a map guide on its campus. Altogether, it features 25 courses, including details of lectures, venues, times and recommendations. Students can design their own auditing ___44___ based on a handy map. Zhu, editor of the guide, said that she has ___45___ from the trend herself – she successfully moved from a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry to her current one after auditing classes. “Visiting classes helped me a lot. The teachers of outstanding courses seldom teach strictly according to textbooks, which is attractive to students. Their tutoring methods have ___46___ my mind,” Zhu said.Other students audit purely out of ___47___. Shi Shuai, 22, a senior majoring in administration management at Shantou University, attended courses in economics and finance for one year. “It is a great way to explore professional knowledge outside your ___48___,” said Shi, who acquired the basics of accounting and finance management.Despite the ___49___ of learning in an open environment, university administrators remind us that there are still rules to follow. Not all classes accept outsiders, especially minority language classes and science modules. These are often ___50___ in small groups to ensure the effectiveness of learning, or require special equipment and individual instruction, ___51___ is only available to registered students who pay tuition fees.Regulations vary across departments and universities. According to Huang Xiaoxiong, a journalism teacher at Fudan University, students need to ensure that auditing a class is permitted. “It is about basic manners. You need to let the teacher know about your ___52___,” he explained. “It’s polite to greet the teacher when attending a course. Participate in discussions, but do not distract others,” Huang added. “It’s okay to hand in homework assigned by the teacher, but expect general advice rather than careful correction.”Auditing classes ___53___ or beyond one’s ability can be a waste of time, warns Xu Jun, 27, HR manager at Guangzhou Automobile Industry Group. “It’s good to audit some classes.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)People who drink alcohol earn more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted “social capital（社交资本）”gained from drinking.The study concluded that drinkers earn ten to fourteen percent more than teetotalers, and that men who drink socially bring home an additional seven percent in pay.“Social drinking builds social capital,” said Edward Stringham, an economics professor, “Social drinkers ar e outgoing, building relationships, and keeping in contacts, which results in bigger paychecks.”The researchers said the most likely explanation is that drinkers have a wider range of social contacts that help provide better job and business opportunities.“Drinkers may be able to socialize more with clients and co-workers, giving drinkers an advantage in important relationships. Drinking may also provide individuals with opportunities to learn people, business, and social skills.”They also said these conclusions provide arguments against policies aimed at controlling alcohol use in university and public places.“Not only do anti-alcohol policies reduce drinkers’ fun, but they may also decrease earnings,” the study said, “One of the consequences of alco hol restrictions is that they push drinking into private behavior. By preventing people from drinking in public, anti-alcohol policies ignores one of the most important aspects of drinking: increased social capital.”The researchers found some differences in the economic effects of drinking among men and women. They concluded that men who drink earn ten percent more than non-drinkers and women drinkers earn fourteen percent more than non-drinkers.However, unlike men, who get a seven percent income increase from drinking in bars, women drinkers who visit bars frequently do not show higher earnings than those who do not visit bars.56.

Groping for Word(C)While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome".In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as "distant parent phenomenon", which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome".63. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by ______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children64. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _______.A. live in the countries with more moneyB. seek a better place for their aged parentsC. continue their studies abroadD. realize their dreams in foreign countries65. If young people go abroad, ______.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right66. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. "Empty Nest Syndrome" has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A. It can also be caused by the inappropriate use of fluoride dropsor other fluoride supplements.B. It’s evident that fluoride has negative effects on teeth,especially children’s teeth.C. So you are right —fluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowedin very large quantities.D. If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken, immediate first-aidcould save a life.E. That is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoridetoothpaste on their toothbrush.F. Fluoride toothpastes are advertised too extensively in TVcommercials.I have heard that fluoride（氟化物）can help stop dental decay, but I recently read that it is poisonous. Which of these is true? How can children use fluoride safely?This question is answered thanks to Dr Marcia M. Rich who practices general dentistry in Newholt. She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine Your Dentist Cares.My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when users follow instructions. Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste. ___67___ If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay, and come to no harm.Almost all medicines can have a negative effect — or even be deadly — if they are not taken as directed. ___68___ It is for this reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from a doctor or dentist.Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis（氟中毒）. The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children. ___69___ For example, when fluoride is already present in drinking water, the overconsumption of it can seldom be avoided. But don’t be too worried, since fluoride overdoses are rare. In fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to the fluoride poisoning.Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities（龋齿）as long as it is used correctly. But it is also true that if fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even death in extreme cases. ___70___ A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting. If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.第II卷(共55分)I. SummaryDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary within 60 words in your own words according to the passage given below.In the past two hundred years people have caused many kinds of animals to die out----- to become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread p\over the land, they destroy animal’s homes. If the animals can’t find a place to live, they die out. Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes.Hunters have caused some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in North America and most of the buffalos. Today they are fast killing off hawks and wolves.Pollution is killing many animals too. As rivers become polluted, fish are poisoned. Many die. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can’t lay strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die out.Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places where they live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat can’t grow there any longer. If the animals can’t learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out for this reason.II. TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.71．据说，这项工程将持续三年。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.“LET’S Uber.”Few companies offer something so popular 25 their nameA. recovering E. enjoyB.identityF. involvesC. willD. accounts forG. farming H. denybecomes a verb. But that is one of the many achievements of Uber, a company 26(found) in 2009 which is now the world’s most valuable startup, worth around $70 billion. 27app can summon(召唤) a car in moments in more than 425 cities around the world, to the fury of taxi drivers everywhere. But Uber’s ambitions, and the expectations underpinning its valuation, extend much 28 (far): using self-driving vehicles, it wants to make ride-hailing (扬招汽车)so cheap and convenient that people forgo car ownership altogether. 29 (not satisfy) with shaking up the $100-billion-a-year taxi business, it has its eye on the far bigger market for personal transport, worth as much as $10 trillion a year globally.Uber is not alone in this ambition. Companies big and small 30 (recognize) the transformative potential of electric, self-driving cars, summoned on demand. Technology firms including Apple, Google and Tesla are investing heavily 31 independent vehicles; from Ford to V olvo, incumbent carmakers are racing to catch up. It will transform daily life as profoundly as cars did in the 20th century: reinventing transport and reshaping cities,32 also dramatically reducing road deaths and pollution.IV.Vocabulary ChoicesDirections: Complete the following passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. There is one extra word which you don’t need.People became vegetarians for a variety of reasons -----to relieve animal suffering , to pursuea healthier lifestyle or to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. No matter how much the great-eaters33 it, vegetarians have a point: Cutting out meat delivers a number of benefits. But if everyone became a strict vegetarian, there would be serious problems for millions, if not billions, of people.Food production 34 _one quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions world wide. The main responsibility fall on the livestock(牲畜) industry. If we should all go vegetarian, ideally at least 80% of that land could be used for 35 the grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and relieve global warming. Furthermore, the increase of natural habitats would also likely to a benefit to biodiversity(生物多样性).Despite these advantages, if the world went vegetarian, we should need to provide clear career opportunities for people formerly engaged in the livestock industry. Otherwise, we would probably face significant unemployment and social disorder. Without livestock, life in certain environments would likely become impossible for some people, especially nomadic ( 游牧的) groups, whose culture 36 might be lost in the process. In addition, going vegetarian 37 replacing meat with other proper nutrition, which could create a health crisis in the developing world.Fortunately, the entire world doesn’t need to change to vegetarianism to 38 many of the benefits. Clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. What is lacking is the 39 to realize those changes.V.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Language is hard. In fact , it’s harder and more complicated than math. And yet, nearly small child can learn and master language.Why is math so overwhelming for so many students? And how high is the price we pay from having so many math- 40 or even math-illiterate(无知的) people in our society? Too high, especially as the ability to grasp data and pursue advanced work that involves math is becoming increasingly 41 for both citizens and job applicantsHow many of us feel incapable, rather than poorly taught, when we are faced with the difficulties of math? How many children who struggled to grasp math concepts were led to fell stupid?42 it to spoken or written language. When you make a mistake, a teacher corrects the part that is wrong. And then you proceed. With math, if you don't have the correct result, it is typically treated as wrong. And, as mistake after mistake 43 , too many students simply give up: I can't do math.But math is not about intelligence. It's a language that too many people never learn, often because the education process 44 the number of ways that a given person can arrive at a given solution. That's not a failure of children to learn. That's a failure of 45 . It's a failure of the school. We should not blame the student. (These are children, after all.)Part of the challenge is to 46 the gaps in knowledge, to clarify that the challenge is not that a student simply doesn't understand algebra(代数) or trigonometry(三角学) or whatever. There may be a particular basic concept that stands 47 of going forward in math, as well as other fields such as social science or engineering.Overcoming this block requires moving beyond broad industrialized education and to individualized, 48 learning that allows students to find their own way in. Show me a thousand students and I'll show you a thousand 49 pathways that they might take to achieve math success.With new digital technologies and a massive amount of data collection and analytics, we have the ability to help students identify the essential concepts they don't understand. We have data on all the students that solved a particular math problem and those that failed to solve it. We also have data on the problems they were able to solve prior to that. So as a student recognizes that they are 50 with, say, negative number concepts, they can go back and master the material— to fill in the gaps that allows them to go forward. And when they hit another tough spot? They can jump to the problems that allow them to master that concept. The hope is that as they progress, their interest and enthusiasm 51 .In the years ahead, that mindset, borne out of the failure of math instruction, should be52 . If we can succeed at breaking down the 53 that there's something wrong with a 3rd grader who cannot learn math—rather than something wrong with the teaching process—then we can look forward to new generations of math-literate citizens. Whatever career they choose, they will be more confident and more capable to understand and contribute to an increasinglycomplex, 54-driven world.40. A. interested B. amazed C. controlled D. terrified41.A. natural B. unnecessary C. important D. common42.A. Compare B. Link C. Combine D.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)In the United States, some people mark ballots( 选票) that bear the printed names of candidates . Others pull levers in voting machines. Americans are proud of their long history of holding free elections, but they did not invent the process.Free elections were held in Athens, Greece, 2400 years ago. Some Europeans took part in local free elections during the Middle Ages. The secret ballot was first used in 1858 in Australia.Today, voting is a new experience for many of the world’s peoples. Since World II, many who never had a voice in their government now take part in free elections.When India held its first national elections in 1951 and 1952, the process was so complicated that it took four months. Few people could read, so the ballots bore pictures that stood for the different parties. People who wanted to vote for Gandhi’s Congress party, for example, put an X under the picture of yoked oxen.In our hemisphere , there are also voters who cannot read. The Dominican Republic held its first free national election in 1962 with rainbow- coloured ballots. The different colors identified the parties for people who could not read the candidates’ names.Today, computers are changing the way people vote. In 1974, Mexico set up a computerized voting system. In the future, people all over the world may be able to vote by touching computer screens. These screens could show candidates’ names, pictures, or party symbols.Any change that encourages people to vote helps government work. Orgeon lets people vote by mail. Texas has voting in convenient spots such as malls.

That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fell ow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked a t my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that shebelieved that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.45. What does the author mean by “I wasn’t the only beneficiary”?A. His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.B. Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.C. Other family mem bers’ enthusiasm has great effects on his stepmother.D. There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.46. According to the author, ______ before his stepmother came into his life.A. his father had been away from home for a long timeB. people had noticed his intelligenceC. he knew how to release his enthusiasm properlyD. he was considered a rude boy with wild behaviors47. The author’s stepmother did all the following EXCEPT ______.A. giving some writing lessons to him at homeB. moving the family into the centre of the countyC. planning the future for each family memberD. praising him from the bottom of her heart48. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?A. Enthusiasm, a Source of AuthorityB. Enthusiasm, a Gift from my FatherC. Enthusiasm, a Trend in FamiliesD. Enthusiasm, a Power for Success(B)Family fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to ex pect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking awayfeeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seems to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.49. From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A. people had better avoid family fights.B. family members fight to control each otherC. family fights can be changed into something positiveD. when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness50. In the author’s o pinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A. satisfy the need to be listened to firstB. make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC. pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD. stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders51. When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______.A. wait for a suitable moment to speakB. let the other person express their feelingsC. work on a written agreement firstD. move on to problem solving52. The main purpose of this article is to ______.A. tell readers that family fights are not that badB. teach reader how to listen in family fightsC. remind readers to show respect in family fightsD. give advice on dealing with family fightsSection C8%Directions:Choose from the sentences A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.53 . They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen.54 . But studies shows that at least one person in every 50 is a super recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find whether super recognizers have a different way to process faces. They have found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person’s nose. 55 . Their super ability is limited to only to recognizing faces.Another important finding is that there are subtypes（子类型）of super recognition. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present a pair of faces to them at thesame time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. 56 . Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage（闭路电视镜头）. They could also help police spot bad guys or even missing people in crowds.第II卷（共27分）I.

Drinking may also provide individuals with opportunities to learn people, business, and social skills.”They also said these conclusions provide arguments against policies aimed at controlling alcohol use in university and public places.“Not only do anti-alcohol policies reduce drinkers’fun, but they may also decrease earnings,” the study said, “One of the consequences of alcohol restrictions is that they push drinking into private behavior. By preventing people from drinking in public, anti-alcohol policies ignores one of the most impor tant aspects of drinking: increased social capital.”The researchers found some differences in the economic effects of drinking among men and women. They concluded that men who drink earn ten percent more than non-drinkers and women drinkers earn fourteen percent more than non-drinkers.However, unlike men, who get a seven percent income increase from drinking in bars, women drinkers who visit bars frequently do not show higher earnings than those who do not visit bars.56.

This phenomenon is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome".In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as "distant parent phenomenon", which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome".63. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by ______.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children64. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _______.A. live in the countries with more moneyB. seek a better place for their aged parentsC. continue their studies abroadD. realize their dreams in foreign countries65. If young people go abroad, ______.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right66. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. "Empty Nest Syndrome" has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Cares.My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when usersfollow instructions. Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste. ___67___ If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay, and come to no harm.Almost all medicines can have a negative effect — or even be deadly — if they are not taken as directed. ___68___ It is for this reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from a doctor or dentist.Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis（氟中毒）. The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children. ___69___ For example, when fluoride is already present in drinking water, the overconsumption of it can seldom be avoided. But don’t be too worried, since fluoride ov erdoses are rare. In fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to the fluoride poisoning.Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities（龋齿）as long as it is used correctly. But it is also true that if fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even death in extreme cases. ___70___ A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting. If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.第II卷(共55分)I. SummaryDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary within 60 words in your own words according to the passage given below.In the past two hundred years people have caused many kinds of animals to die out----- to become extinct. People keep building houses and factories in fields and woods. As they spread p\over the land, they destroy animal’s homes. If the animals can’t find a place to live, they die out. Sixteen kinds of Hawaiian birds have become extinct for this reason. Other animals, such as the Florida Key deer, may soon die out because they are losing their homes.Hunters have caused some animals to become extinct, too. In the last century, hunters killed all the passenger pigeons in North America and most of the buffalos. Today they are fast killing offhawks and wolves.Pollution is killing many animals too. As rivers become polluted, fish are poisoned. Many die. Birds that eat the poisoned fish can’t lay strong, healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. So far, no animals have become extinct because of pollution. But some, such as the bald eagle and the brown pelican, have become rare and may die out.Scientists think that some animals become extinct because of changes in climate. The places where the y live become hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. The food that they eat can’t grow there any longer. If the animals can’t learn to eat something else, they die. Dinosaurs may have died out for this reason.II. TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 71．据说，这项工程将持续三年。

firm in BeijingIn general,he said,anti-addiction systems can be broadly divided into two categories:hard and soft.Hard systems force players offline or stop them from logging in during a certain period, such as the online gaming curfew in South Korea that stops teenager players from logging In between midnight and6am,Wang said.Soft systems do not restrict access,but discourage players from gaming for long periods of time by diminishing loot drops or progression,he added.“Both of these systems are inherently flawed because children can easily bypass them by registering using adult IDS,or spending extra time or money to get their favorite item or character faster."he said.Experts and tech engineers say systems designed to curb Chinese young people's obsession with online gaming require

University in the US,we areYou may not want to hear this,but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than2,000years ago and ever since then has been going downhill.“If an average Greek form1,000BC were transported to modern times,he or she would be one of the brightest among us.”Crabtree told The Guardian.At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea.In the past,intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food.The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death.However,after the spread of agriculture,when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities,the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.This is not hard to understand.Most of the time,pressure is what keeps us going-you need the pressure form your teachers to finish your homework,the pressure of looking pretty prompts you to lose weight when summer comes.And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less, we become less smart.These mutations(变异)are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000years.The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes.He found that among the2,000to5,000genes that we have that determine human intelligence,there are two or mutations in each of us.However,Crabtree’s theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities,but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence. For example,spearing a tiger doesn’t necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem.Moreover,the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.“You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking2,000years ago.He just wouldn’t exist,”Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick,UK,told Live Science.“But now we have people of his intellectual capability doing things and making insights that we would never have achieved in ourenvironment of evolutionary adaptation.”1.What is Crabtree’s recent finding according to the article?A.The Greeks form1,000BC were the smartest in human history.B.We nowadays have better surviving abilities than our ancient ancestors did.C.Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.D.Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.2.According to Crabtree,ancient humans_______.A.had much more genes that determine human intelligenceB.were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressuresC.relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligenceD.developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the tough realities3.Some argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think_______.A.people today are under much more pressure than early humansB.it’s ridiculous to compare a hunter’s and a poet’s intelligenceC.modern education is far more advanced than ancient educationD.human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past4.What is Thomas Hills’attitude toward Crabtree’s theory?A.SupportiveB.UnfavorableC.WarnedD.ConfusedSection C(4%)Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.We should also try to sleep well the night before.B.It’s as if the brain is keeping its most important memories.C.The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.D.Similarly,when people go for a few days without sleeping,they get sick.E.“Sleep is the price we pay for learning,”says Giulio Tononi,who developed the idea.F.Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections,or synapses,in the brains of12mice.Every animal sleeps,but the reason for this has remained foggy.When lab rats are not allowed to sleep,they die within a month1.One idea is that sleep help us memories.That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.We know that,while awake,fresh memories are recorded byreinforcing(加强)connections between brain cells,but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元)in the brain can be weakened overnight,making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 2.Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.3The synapses(神经元的突破)in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were18percent smaller than those taken before sleep,showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right,it would explain why,when we miss a night’s,we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains may have smaller room for new experience.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner.The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size4.“You keep what matters,”Tononi says.第二卷（共26分）1.Blank filling(6%)Directions:Complete the following sentences with proper forms of the phrases in the box.Each phrase can only be used ONCE.（6%）（NOTE:There is one more than need）lead to cover take the place of remainspring up speak highly of go through1.In the last two decades,many skyscrapers_______in PuDong.2.Many people think it possible for computer-made comics_______hand-drawn ones.3.After_______a distance of some3200kilometer.Bobbie turned up at the family house six months later.4.The human mind will never give way to the computer,and comic strips_______a special means of expressing human feelings.5.Norman Rockwell was a famous American illustrator and cover artist,whose works_______.6.Some of the narrow roads_______churches are still there,taking people back to London’s old days.II.Translation(10%)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given.(3+3+4)1.伦敦作为雾都为人们所知的日子一去不复返了。

If the thought crosses their 32 , they tend to think that finding somewhere to purchase a used item is too much trouble, or that the item won’t be in the best shape. Whatever the reason, they don’t bother to buy items used, and instead, 33 straight for shiny new things. What these people don’t realize is that w hen it comes to certain items, there is no pointin paying full 34 . For certain items you can find equal quality with second-hand, and for a small part of the cost. And with some online sites, finding those items couldn’t be 35 . Why pay full price when you could be saving loads of money?Here are some items that you would be much better off buying used:1.Cars. The new car smell is unforgettable, but what’s even more unforgettableis the fact that the minute you drive a brand new car off a lot, its value drops 36 by about 20%.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.But beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using the language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas.A man might m ove his forefinger across his lips. This meant: “my uncle”. The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are taught how to speak.57. On the whole the story is about ___________.A. how the deaf communicateB. learning to spellC. teaching the deaf to speakD. writing sign languages58. How did sign language help the deaf?A. It helped them to learn to read.B. The deaf could understand Indian sign language.C. It helped them communicate with other people.D. The deaf could move their thumbs across their lips.59. What does it mean if a person moves his forefinger across his mouth?A. He wants you to shut up.B. It means somebody.C. He believes what you are saying.D. He doesn’t believe you.60. The deaf don’t use sign language and finger spelling as much as they used tobecause ____________.A. they find it much harder to learn sign languageB. they don’t like to use their fingersC. they find it easier to watch the others’ lipsD. they are taught to understand the others by watching their lips（B）When you are advised to “get an education” if you want to raise your income, you are only told half the truth, what you should be told is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not too much education that would prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally（职业地） dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it’s an MBA, and only from a first-rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns (报酬递减规律性) begins to take effect. Do you know, for instance, that heavy truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000, while the full professor managed to average just $ 23,930.A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get, but except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dark future. There are more Ph. Ds unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of world by far.If you become a doctor of Philosophy in English or History or Anthropology or Political Science or language or-worst of all-in Philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands.Income and education are closely related. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profiton you.61. According to the writer, the expectation(期望）of education is to turn out people who _____.A. will become loyal citizens to a nationB. can always take good care of themselvesC. will not be a shame to society or their familiesD. can meet the demands as a source of manpower62.If you are as gifted as Bernard Shaw or Edison ______.A. you can get a high school diploma without difficultyB. you can be professionally successful without a diplomaC. the least you should do is to get a diplomaD. you will be more successful in grade school63.Many Ph. Ds are out of work because ______.A. they are of little commercial value to the societyB. they prefer easy jobs with more moneyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they are wrongly educated64. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The higher your education level is, the more money you’ll earn.B. Too much education may make it difficult for you to find a job..C. One must think carefully before going for a master’s degree.D. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high school, nor did Edison.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each blank. There are two extra statements, which you do n’t need.Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. ___65___If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. ___66___ For example, some teachers may focus on lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.___67___ If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.Comparing your notes with your classmates can be good for your learning. ___68___ Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every morning, you'll surely have less time to watch TV. But you'll save time in the coming test.第II卷（共20分）IV.
