they have maintained a Body Mass Index （BMI）of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show．That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds．"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders，"said physician Adatto．"Underweight models，"he explained，"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny．"But some critics in this country say it is misguided，focusing on weight instead of health．They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry．"I think it's an approach that isn't going to work．"said eating disorder expert Susan Ice，who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models．But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized．He said．"I realized that only legislation（立法）can change the situation．There was no time to waste；so many girls were dieting to death．"However，the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health．Still，folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with．"Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders，but it makes it harder，"she says．"It's a difficult recovery environment，worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal．"64．One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is．A．to change the working conditions of modelsB．to lower the chance of skinny models'deathC．to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD．to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65．In the opinion of the critics，the law won't succeed because．A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit．B．it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well．C．it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models．D．the fashion industry is much too influential．66．What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation？A．Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model．B．Establishing his fashion model agent．C．Being interviewed by a reporter．D．Seeing a model die from eating disorders．67．（8分）In face of global warming，much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies．But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives，it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs．In the meantime，the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）．"As long as we're consuming fossil fuels，we're putting out CO2，"says Klaus Lackner，a geophysicist at Columbia University，"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely．"That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2，which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming．"We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral （基本的）role in reducing emissions，"says Kim Corley，Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs．That forward thinking strategy is gaining support．The U．S．Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant．The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants．But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it？One option is to put it to new uses．Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts （转换）coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas．It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada，where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations．In the Netherlands，Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses，increasing their production of fruits and vegetables．However，scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage．Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean，Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline （盐的）formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world．67．What does the author intend to tell readers？A．How to find more oil and natural gases．B．How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions．C．How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively．D．How to make good use of solar and wind energy．68．According to the passage，the following statements are true EXCEPT that．A．the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B．it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structuresC．capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D．long﹣term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2emissions 69．By using CO2，Dutch farmers have been able to．A．increase their production of fruits and vegetables B．convert coal into synthetic natural gasC．pump it underground in oil recovery operations D．make exhausted oil and gas fields productive70．How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph？A．It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy．B．It refers to the coal﹣burning energy plant that U．S government sponsors．C．It implies the carbon﹣capture technologies will be popular once successful．D．It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2emissions needs a large sum of investment．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．71．（10分）Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life，and we should keep learning something new every day．To become a lifelong learner，first of all you should learn where your talents and interests lie．You can try many different things so that you'll find you're not only good at a few things．Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things．This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things．Anyway，be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now．To make learning fun，you need to see learning as an exploration，not a chore （杂事）．Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary．Instead，learn things you need to learn and you love to learn．Follow your heart，as well as your sense of duty．Even when you're learning the things you have to，seek to go beyond what you're being asked to learn．Look at the history，case studies，different applications，etc．，to make your learning experience much more colorful．Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful．So make friends with local new and used book sellers．Through reading you'll never stop learning．Wise people read lots of books all the time；it's as simple as that．And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don't have to learn things the hard way．So remember that books，newspapers，and magazines are all reading，and as are websites，reviews and other online sources of information．Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers．So be sure to listen closely and understand the response．Sometimes a response is difficult to understand．Feel free to take notes，ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components （成分）to make sense of it．You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have．Questions can teach as much as，or more than，answers．To be a lifelong learner，often evaluate （评估）and apply what you learn．Does it make sense？Is it true？Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning．In addition，applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer．How to become a lifelong learner．ParagraphoutlinesSupporting detailsKnow what you are good at and（71）By trying many different things，you can be aware of your possible （72）to do many things well．You should overcome your past memories and don't（73）any chance to tryin．something new．View learningas an exploration．Don't force yourself to learn something．Instead，be eager to learn what（74）to you．When learning the things you

AHe lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were r ecognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illnes s that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved worl d fame. Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized a s one of the leading artists of all time.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert , the town of his birth, has made 2003 “The van Gogh Year” in his honor. And the van Gogh Museum in , home to the bigge st collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary w ith exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws aroun d 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a pastor(牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions i nto his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His styl e is marked by short, broad brush strokes(笔画).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself m ore forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He r elied heavily on the support from his brother, an art dealer wh o lived in . But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. H is portrait of Dr. Gacher sold for $89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. “I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colors in them are attractive to peop le,” said a Van Gogh’s fan.1. All through his life, Van Gogh .A. depended on his brotherB. worked hard on art studiesC. was not recognized by peopleD. expressed himself in pai ntings2.Van Gogh killed himself because of .A. the poor lifeB. his illnessC. his pain from left earD. the objections from the artists of hi s time3.One of the characteristics of Van Gogh’s paintings is .A. the likeness between his paintings and the realityB. the short time for him to complete a paintingC. the various styles mixed togetherD. the special strokes he made4.We can infer from the passage that .A. his powerful art came from his poor lifeB. his fellow townsmen regret treating him unfairlyC. all his paintings were drawn in the last 10 years of his lifeD. most of his paintings are kept in the museum of his homet ownBIndia now accounts for (占据)17.5% of the world’s population - India’s population has gr own by more than 181 million people over the past decade to 1.21 billion, according to the 2011 census (人口普查)result.The figure shows India’s large population is growing fast— 181 million is only slightly lower than the entire population of . But the speed of growth has slowed — from 21. 5% in the last ten years to 17.6% now.More people now live in India than in the United States, I ndonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and combined.India is on course to overtake as the world’s most populous n ation by 2030, but its growth rate is falling, figures show. The census also shows a continuing preference for boys —India’s sex ratio (比例)is at its worst since the country was founded in 1947.Statistics show fewer girls than boys are being born or sur viving. The gender imbalance has widened every ten years si nce 1947. According to the 2011 census, there were 914 girls for every 1,000 boys under the age of six.“This is a serious problem,” Census Commissioner C. Chan dramauli told a press conference in the capital, . Government officials said they would review all their policies towards it, whi ch they admitted were failing. The male population has grown by 17.19% to reach 623.7 million while the female population has risen by 18.12% to reach 586.5 million.Uttar Pradesh, the census shows, is the most populous st ate with 199 million people and Lakshadweep the least popul ated at 64,429.There is good news in the field of education. The literacy rate (识字率)has gone up from about 65% in 2001 to 74% in 2011.India started the 2011 census in April last year and its cen sus is carried out every 10 years.5. According to the text, what’s the speed of ’s population gro wth now?A. 21.5%.B. 17.6%.C. 17.19%.D. 18.12%.6. The underlined word “it” in the text refers to .A. the literacy rateB. India’s large populationC. the 2011 censusD. the gender imbalance7.We can learn from the text that .A. more Indians have been educated in the past ten yearsB. New Delhi has a larger population than Uttar PradeshC. Brazil’s population is lower than 181 millionD. India will have a larger population than China in ten years8.In which section of a magazine could this passage be found ?A. Travel & Custom.B. World & Population.C. Education & Development.D. Economy & EnvironmentCPerhaps one of the most outstanding things about South Afr ican culture is that it is not one single culture, but rather a range of different cultures, making South Africa one of the most c ulturally diverse countries in the world.There are a number of cultural attractions in which are de finitely worth visiting. Take, for instance, one of the most famo us ones— , where Nelson Mandela, the first black president o f the country, was once imprisoned ! for his efforts to free his people from oppression. In KwaZulu-Natal you will find that the Zulu culture is still very much alive i n the descendents (后代)of the ancient Zulu king Shaka at Shakaland. Here tribal da nce and song is performed with vigor and you can explore the mysterious world of the Sangoma with much ceremony. In th e Eastern Cape you’ll discover the remains of Saartjie Baartm an—a woman who suffered terrible humiliation at the hands of self -righteous (自以为是的) Europeans and who has become a symbol of female emp owerment (赋权) some 200 years after her death. A visit to the will make y ou learn about some of the oldest rock art in the country, whil e a trip to the different kinds of art galleries and theaters in mo st of the cities and towns is an excellent way to enjoy South A frican art and drama. Music is another part of South African c ulture which exemplifies the range and diversity of this country's culture.Classical music, although European in nature, is enjoyed r egularly at all fresco(壁画) concerts across the country amidst the beauty of large bot anical gardens. Jazz is a favourite in the townships and it has developed and diversified into three distinctive styles: Townsh ip Jazz, Black Jazz, and Marabi. Kwaito is another favourite. Rock and pop are also popular and a number of South African musicians have created sounds which simply cannot be confi ned to a particular music group, but they are very South Africa n in nature. So come and enjoy a hands-on introduction to ’s rainbow of culture!9. This passage mainly tells us the of .A. diversity of peopleB. places of interestC. cultureD. music10. People who want to pay respect to a heroine can go to .A. Robben IslandB. KwaZulu-NatalC. the Eastern CapeD.11. According to the second paragraph, the Zulu culture .A. is disappearingB. has a long historyC. is a mix of many culturesD. is little known to the outside w orld12.How many kinds of jazz are mentioned in the last paragrap h?A.

一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分） AAOf all the famous English writers , the best known is William Shakespeare.He was born in 1564. His father was an important man in hi s town, so Shakespeare had a good upbringing (教养). Shakespeare went to school but not university. He got ma rried to Anne Hathaway when he was 18 and the couple had 3 children.Shakespeare wrote 38 plays . He began working in his hom etown of Stratford but in 1592 he was writing in London. He b ecame rich enough to buy a house in the capital and in his ho metown.He wrote sad stories called tragedies，like Romeo and Juliet, funny stories or comedies，Romantic stories and stories about historical figures such as J ulius Caesar.He died on his birthday in 1616, almost 400 years ago. But why is his work still popular today?His work looked at common human themes(主题)，such as murder, power and love. These themes are as much a part of human nature today as they were and are the ones we see in modern soap operas(肥皂剧) and Hollywood films. Even though his theatre , the Globe , burned down in 1613,it was rebuilt in London in 1997 and you can still see his plays there today.Shakespeare’s influence(影响) on the English language can still be felt today. For exampl e, we often talk about “fair play” , meaning honest behavior but this phrase was first used by Shakespeare.21. Julius Caesar may be seen in____.A. comedyB. tragedyC. romantic storyD. hist orical story22. From the passage ,we can make a conclusion that_____ __.A. Shakespeare did much to the development of the Engli sh languageB. Shakespeare was born in a poor familyC. Shakespeare liked to buy and sell houses to make mon eyD. Shakespeare is the father of modern soap operas23. The phrase “fair play” refers to a p erson’s nature of ____ _A. patienceB. braveryC. honestyD. good mann erBIt was 1994, and a new mother took her sick baby to the doct or. After being tested, the child was diagnosed (诊断) with CF(包囊纤维化), a serious disease. The girl would be lucky to survive intoher twenties. The woman and her husband did not know what to do.She turned to two friends —football star Boomer Esiason and his wife Cheryl, who knew a lot about CF since they had a son with it. They’d been trying t o raise money for the CF Foundation (基金会), and they were heading their own foundation then. The wo man called the Esiasons right away and they shared with her everything they knew about the illness.She was changed, and put her whole heart into understan ding CF. She learned how to use the treatments that would be st give her daughter hope. She learned about other challenge s about CF. Though 30,000 Americans suffer from the illness, the number was too small to motivate(激励) drug companies to do research. The CF market could not get enough investment (投资) for the government to make up the millions needed to dev elop new drugs.So she gave up her job and jumped into the CF business f ull time. She now takes part in events organized by the CF Fo undation, and gives speeches wherever she can. The money she raises goes to the CF Foundation, letting it employ scienti sts to study the disease. Her name is Angela Kinney. Thanks to the many people just like her, the average lifespan (寿命) of a child born with CF has jumped to 36.5 years.24. From the passage we can learn that Cheryl was ______.A. a doctor studying CFB. a football starC. a person with CFD. a member of the CF Foundation25. What did the Esiasons do to help Angela Kinney?A. They offered her a job.B. They offered her money.C. They told her what they knew about CF.D. They taught her how to comfort the child.26. Why wasn’t there enough research on CF?A. There were no researchers studying it.B. The number of CF patients was too small.C. Drug companies found it hard to do research.D. The government was unwilling to invest in it.27. Which of the following best describes Angela Kinney?A. Clever and changeable.B. Brave and warm-hearted.C. Helpful and open-minded.D. Responsible and honest.CFive years ago, I was a mother relying on the government to r aise four children on a limited income. Some of my neighbors were also struggling for different family matters. I knew I had the ability to do something, while they also had something to o ffer. Then I began connecting families so that we could care a bout others and share things with one another.In February 2004, we jumped through all the difficulties to b ecome a non-profit (非盈利的) organization —the Family Support Network. It has been a totally volunteer or ganization since it was founded. There are over 200 families i n our network now and we’ve received national attention for o ur effort. Our volunteers have provided over 10,000 hours of h elp for their neighbors in need. With the help of four volunteer s from Microsoft, we are now looking for volunteers from all ar ound the world who are devoted to caring about others and sh aring things with their neighbors. We can reach them either by phone or email.Our Family Support Network is aimed at ordinary people. P eople are attracted by our effort. We do not advertise, but we t ry to share the good news we have as much as possible. I wa s recognized as a giraffe（带头人) last year for sticking my neck out to make the world a bett er place. The Associated Press regarded us as a leader in ma king society better. John McKnight of Northwest University co nsidered the Family Support Network as a new idea for comm unity (社区) development. We welcome more people to join us. Together we are making a difference to create a better and more cari ng society for our children’s future.28. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author ____ __.A. worked for the governmentB. learnt a lot from her nei ghborsC. had difficulty raising her childrenD. decided to set up an organization alone29. What can we learn about the Family Support Network fro m the passage?A. It is designed only for women.B. It is set up to make m oney.C. It advertises itself on the Internet.D. It is well-known throughout the country.30. The author was recognized as a giraffe because she ____ ___.A. also cared about the life of giraffesB. was concerned abo ut the worldC. was a great mother and leaderD. has a long and beautif ul neck31. The passage is mainly about a(n) ____.A. act of kindnessB. successful businessC. way to develop communitiesD. job opportunity for volunt eersDThe United States is full of cars. There are still many familie s without cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and fac tories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they hav e to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to driv e into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some c ities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to schoo l. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors' as well（也）. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wed nesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to t he place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.32. The United States is filled with cars, but .A. not every family has a carB. few families have two cars or even moreC. every American has a carD. every family has a car33. What's the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Workers drive cars to offices and factoriesB. Salesmen drive to carry their products.C. Farmers drive into cities to get supplies.D.

AMike is an automotive mechanic（汽车修理技工）, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Mike immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Mike finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Mike said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Mike agreed.Upon arrival, Mike found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Mike still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Mike’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly p ass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Mike’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.

Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it hason the human body. They have found that laughter can reall y improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which reduces both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics （诊所）, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A. Laughter is good for health .B. Laughter can make you become old quickly.C. Laughter helps to reduce pain.D. Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.7. Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A. Because they want to earn more money.B. Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C. Because they want to improve their patients’ condition.D. Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh.8. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health.B. Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition.C. Laughter can reduce the effects of pain.D. Laughter is the best medicine.COne night, the first floor of the house suddenly caught fire. The fire was big, and soon became a sea of fire. On the second floor lived a little girl and her grandmother; the little girl’s par ents had died, and she lived together with her grandma. In order to rescue the little girl, the grandmother was burned to death, leaving the little girl crying for help loudly.How could people enter the house? At that very moment, a man carrying a ladder rushed to the flames and entered the house through the window. When he appeared again in the eyes of the people, the little girl was in his arms. He gave the child to the crowd, and then disappeared into the night.This little girl had no family. Two months later a meeting was held to find a person to adopt （收养）the girl. A teacher was willing to adopt this child, and said she could give her the best education; a farmer wanted to adopt this child, saying that village life would let the child grow up healthi ly and happily; a rich man said, “I can give the child everything that others can do.”A lot of people who wanted to adopt this child said a lot about the benefits of their adopting the child. But the little girl’s face had no expression. At th at time, a man, through the crowd, walked straight to the little girl, and opened his arms for the little girl. People were puzzled, and they found that the man had terrible scars on his arms. The little girl let out a cry, “This is the man who saved me!” She suddenl y jumped up and buried her face in his arms and sobbed. Naturally the man adopted the girl.9. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The grandma was too old to rush out of the room.B. The little girl and her grandpa lived on the second floor.C.

The meeting was held there in order to .A. decide who would take in and bring up the girlB. find out who had rescued the girlC. decide how the girl would be raisedD. honor the hero who had saved the girl12. What can we learn from the passage?A. People didn’t want to help the little girl at first.B. The man who had saved the girl was a fireman.C. The rich man would not buy anything the girl needed.D. The girl recognized the man and was happy to be adopted by him.DWhile reading a book in English, every few lines of text, you run across a word or two that you don’t know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does s low you down. Even electric or CD – ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the “map” each time you take a step, you’ll get nowhere fast.On your English learning “journey”, a dictionary can be a helpful “travel companion”----if it is not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you will always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head.A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify（核实）spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentence and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources.Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations (缩写字) mean. Try to master the important grammar rules. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You will discover how helpful it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”13. Why do we need a good English-to-English dictionary?A. Because it is a good friend.B. Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost.C. Without it we’ll always depend on our native language and end up translatingin our head.D. Because it can help us to start thinking in English and in Chinese.14. The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to __________.A. pronunciation symbols and grammar rulesB. abbreviations and usage for grammar rulesC. the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usageD. charts, diagrams and lists15. According to the passage, which statement can lead you to believe?A. The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article.B. The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read.C. The more you use the resources in a dictionary, the more you can benefitfrom it.D. The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AElizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women. 1. Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?A. She couldn’t get admitted to medical schoolB. She decided to further her education in ParisC. A serious eye problem stopped herD. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States2. What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor?A. She was a woman.B. She wrote too many letters.C. She couldn’t graduate from medical school.D. She couldn’t set up her hospital.3. How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and the opening ofher hospital?A. Eight yearsB. Ten yearsC. Nineteen yearsD. Thirty-six years4. According to the passage, all of the following are “firsts” in the life of ElizabethBlackwell, except that she ______.A. became the first woman physicianB. was the first woman doctorC. and several other women founded the first hospital for women and childrenD. set up the first medical school for women5. Elizabeth Blackwell spent most of her life in _______.A. EnglandB. ParisC. the United StatesD. New York CityBHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, u sually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.6. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is ac tually ________.A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting7. What is a bird’s “territory”?A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.8. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.9. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A. By comparing birds with human beings.B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describing birds’ daily life.D. By telling a bird’s story.10. What does the underline word “screaming” in paragraph 4 mean?A. 哭喊声B. 令人惊愕的C. 尖叫声D. 尖叫的CAmericans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) .Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.11. According to experts, by 2012 the number of visitors ______.A. may be doubledB. may be the same as beforeC. will reach 250 millionD. will decrease12. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Visitors will pay less than before.B. The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors.C. Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time.D. Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.13. Entrance fees may be increased _______.A. because the National Park Service are short of moneyB. only for the development of the national parksC. to protect the animalsD. mainly to limit the number of visitors14. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 3?A. Enlarged.B. Admitted.C. Controlled.D. Concerned.15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.C. The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.D. National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共70分）注意：将答案写在答题卡上。

He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.16. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ .A．written about New Yorkers B．Composed for Paul WhitemanC．played mainly in the countryside D．performed in various ways17. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He created one of his best works B．He studied with Nadia BoulangerC．He argued with French critics D．He changed his music style18. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．Many of Gershwin’s works were lostB．The death of Gershwin was widely reportedC．A concert was held in memory of GershwinD．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.19. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A．Talented and productive B．Serious and boringC．popular and unhappy D．Friendly and honestBYou can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain－sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard－looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there's also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.20. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people to take an umbrella.21. What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain. 22. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→ sensorsB. sensors→motor→ canopyC. motor→sensors→ canopyD. canopy→motor→ sensorsCThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.23. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB. International CommunicationsC. The Standard Varieties of EnglishD. English as a World Language24. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.25. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B. It is used in former British colonies.C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.D. It is a world language that is used for international communication.七选五阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AElizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because s he was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.

After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing isactually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, u sually themale, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No otherfamilies of the same species are welcome.

Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. Abird does the same thing.

In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem,you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) .Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because o f development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.11.

What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 3?A. Enlarged. B. Admitted. C. Controlled.D. Concerned.15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.C. The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.D. National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共70分）注意：将答案写在答题卡上。
