But the Internet’ s tremendous impact has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is d r iving one of the most exciting social，αJltural, and political t r ansfonhisto1卫and unlike earlier pet‘iods of change, this time the effects are folly global，＇’Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book 咀1e New Digital Age.Perhaps由e most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who cuITently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of “1e Internet revolution for individuals, govemmen邸，and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major sh01tcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role oflntemet businesses in these sweeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the mo筑authoritative volume to date that describes -and more imp01tantly predicts -how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades.咀1ey paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that“technology is neutral, but people aren' t”By using this concept as a sta1ting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy（对立观点）that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with ηl\1E earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimi筑ic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, pa1ticula1忖with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance（监视）．54.In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and由e telegraph?A.It transf 01ms human hist01γB.

No matter how carefully you plan your finances, no one can ________ when the unexpected will happen.A.proveB.implyC.demandD.predict Section BDirections:plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In giving advice, you must learn to understand the person’s level of judgment. There will be some people who e to you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B12 and other modern __42__. When they ask advice,begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food they eat, and how they need to __43__ it.You have to train yourself to be very __44__. Staying at one level is not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes __45__ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances. To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, bee friends with everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still __46__, and your ability to give advice is reduced. For anyone, the same. A free person acts like that.You cannot stay with a sick person all the time. You must __47__ a person’s freedom as much as you can. If people really want to die, let them—it is their freedom. The point is never to bee an authority __48__; remain a friend or advisor. People should not e back __49__ for consultation; if they do, your advice has been inplete—you did not know how to give the __50__ advice about freedom. If they do not understand that, sick people bee slaves; they are still afraid inside, and are__51__. That is no way to build a healthy world and help people bee happyand free.IV.Cloze Test 15%Food for freeTo look or ‘forage’ for food growing in nature is nothing new. Human have done it for many thousands of years. Even today cultures survive on only the wild food they find. Among others, foraging has bee more of a __52__ activity, in France and Spain, __53__, many people look for mushrooms in the autumn. Foe the British, foraging was a very important way to keep healthy in the past, __54__ during the Second World War when there was less food in the shops. Ingredients __55__ rosehips, rich in vitamin C, nettles and seaweed were all used to improve their __56__.In recent decades foraging has often been something people do in developing countries, not developed ones. In developed countries, modern agricultural methods have led to __57__ in what people eat and where they get their food. With the growth of supermarkets, people can now buy seasonal foods any day of the year and they no longer need to forage. The pace of life these days is also faster. __58__, many people prefer to buy all their food from shops and supermarkets because it saves time and energy, both of which foraging requires.__59__, things are changing once again and in the last few years, foraging has bee __60__ in those countries with supermarkets. You might think this new interest in wild food is because of __61__ problems and people wanting to cut their spending but __62__, this new trend began in the top restaurant of the world. In some of these restaurants, they use fresh __63__ ingredients to create elegant dishes of the highest quality. Some of them even employ professional foragers to find the seasonal ingredients used each day.This fashion for wild food is now spreading and more people are interested in going on causes or organized wild food walks to learn how to forage safely. These activities show people what plants, berries, fungi and nuts they can find and when and where they might grow. They teach people what plants __64__ mushrooms to be careful of and also how to prepare different wild foods so they are safe to eat. __65__, these courses or walks make people more aware of the seasons, their natural surroundings and the free food on offer. They are social and encourage people to be __66__ with nature. This might be something that good for us all.52.A. seasonal B. outdoor C. leisureD. cultural53.A. Even though B. On the one hand C.

Reading prehension 28%My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago.John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect.John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin.“How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He bee more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.”When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age---a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.67.Why did John’s eyes shine when he saw the coat?A. It was the first time that he had been to a secondhand store.B. It was pleasant for him to share the same taste with mom.C. He fell in love with that coat and wanted to put it on.D. He managed to get his mom to buy him a new coat.68. What does the underlined word “grin” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. A big smile.B. A sad look.C. A jealous remark.D. An anxious thought.69.Which of the following might be the best title?A. A Special Shopping ExperienceB. A Caring MotherC. A Magical CoatD. John’s Taste for Clothing(B)Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is mon for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greeteach other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face munication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselveswhen it es to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that es from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their panies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.70. The passage is mainly about ________.A. munication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards71. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the first place.B. They dislike face-to-face munication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.72. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentation.D.When dining with business partners.73. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.(C)William Kamkwamba: How I harnessed the windAt age 14, in poverty and famine, a Malawian boy built a windmill to power his family's home. Now at 22, William Kamkwamba, who speaks at TED, here, for the second time, shares in his own words the moving tale of invention that changed his life.Thomas Suarez :A 12-year-old App developerMost 12-year-olds love playing videogames - but Thomas Suarez taught himself how to create them. After developing iPhone apps like "Bustin Jeiber," a whack-a-mole game, he is now using his skills to help other kids bee developers. Amy O’Toole, Beau LottoWhat do science and play have in mon? Neuroscientist Beau Lotto thinks all people (kids included) should participate in science and, through the process of discovery, change perceptions. He's seconded by 12-year-old Amy O'Toole, who, along with 25 of her classmates, published the first peer-reviewed article by schoolchildren, about the Blackawton bees project. It starts: "Once upon a time ... "Lauren Hodge, Shree Bose, Naomi ShahIn xx three young women swept the top prizes of the first Google Science Fair. Lauren Hodge, Shree Bose and Naomi Shah describe their extraordinary projects — and their route to a passion for science.74.

All these TED videos aim to ___________.A. analyze the different ways to successB. promote the latest scientific inventionsC. introduce the famous teenage speakersD. encourage passion for science and creativity(D)If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality(虚拟现实) device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised(同步的) movement bees fortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias(偏见) that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms,"says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really remend it to everyone."77.The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.A. buildingB. exchangingC. controllingD. transplanting78.We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______.A. our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB. we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC. participants will live more passionately after the experimentD. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes79.In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, ______.A. they fought strongly against racismB. they scored lower on the test for racismC. they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD. they were more biased against those unlike them80.t can be concluded from the passage that______.A. technology helps people realize their dreamsB. our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC. virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD. our points of view about others need changing constantlyKEY17-31 ABDAD DABBB BDDDA32-41 ADACB DDACD42-51 BC A AB CD D AD ABC B AC C52-66 ACDAB CABDC CADBA67-69 CAC70-73 CDBD74-75 BDD77-80 BADC实用文档。

As part of the reform program, it will allow primary schools to enroll students aged under 6, the country’s present age of admission. While some people applaud it, this might not necessarily be a helpful revision.Once the current six-year-old limitation is cancelled（取消）, no parents will want to send their children to school at that age while other children enter school at younger age. As a result, Chinese children will have to go to school increasingly early.The earlier they are sent to school, the less freedom young children will enjoy. They will be thrown into endless examinations. While their heads become filled with knowledge, their simple happiness will decrease. This is harmful for their growth, especially when they are thrown into the rigors of a curriculum before they are five years old.In countries such as Germany and Australia, parents all hope to send their children to school at an older age when they have developed more fully physically and psychologically.The current fixed schooling age is an effective mechanism to protect children against harm brought on by early schooling. If it is broken, Chinese children might again face a more stressful childhood.41. Currently in China, children of ______ or older than _________ can go to primary school.A. 7;7B. 6;6C. 5;5D. 4;442. If the current six-year-old limitation is cancelled, ________ will send their children aged under 6 toprimary school.A. no parentsB. perhaps all parentsC. only some parentsD. maybe a half of the parents43. The children will enjoy if they go to school earlier.A. themselvesB. more freedomC. less freedomD. less love44. If the children go to school at an older age, they will ________________.A. love their parents betterB. learn more foreign languagesC. violate the rules of the school more easilyD. develop better in body and thought45. According to the passage, the writer .A. doesn’t care how old a child goes to schoolB. doesn’t agree the children to go to school younger than 6C. suggests the Ministry of Education carry out the new programD. thinks that China should not follow the western countriesBStopping SmokingThe Shanghai Regulations on Smoking Control in Public Places(上海市公共场所控烟条例) tookeffect(作用) on March 1, 2010. Smoking have been banned(禁止) in the city’s kindergartens, schools, hospitals, stadiums, public service areas, shopping malls, libraries, theaters and museums, among other places, and violators will be fined.But the public and media are not optimistic(乐观) about the implementation(实施) of the regulations.To make the regulations really effective, basic power comes from passive smokers. The aim of the regulations is to protect their health rights, and passive smokers in turn, it is hoped, will take action to safeguard those rights by applying the regulations.But few non-smokers are ready to stand up to fight against smoking because they are not confident about stopping the smokers. They understand the power of individuals(个人) is limited.If they can form nongovernmental organizations, the situation will change. I believe many individuals, including non-smokers and passive smokers, will actively take part in organized fight against smoking.To this end, when legal powers do not cover all public places, nongovernmental organizations will be an effective power in fighting against smoking.46. The Shanghai Regulations on Smoking Control in Public Places ___________.A. has not taken effectB. has taken effect for nearly two monthsC. doesn’t take effect in the bookshopD. encourages people to smoke47. Many people in Shanghai think that the Regulations ________________.A. are uselessB. will not do wellC. are not reasonableD. are for rich people48. What does passive smokers mean?A. 曾经吸烟者B. 被动吸烟者C. 年老吸烟者D. 吸烟传递者49. Why do so many non-smokers not safeguard their rights?A. Because they like to smell cigarette.B. Because they don’t have the rights to stop other people smoking.C. Because they don’t know the regulations.D. Because they think the power of each person is small.50. _____________ will play an important role in fighting against smoking.A. Teachers and studentsB. Mothers and childrenC. The public and mediaD. Nongovernmental organizationsCToday I will make a speech on zoos. Many people think zoos are cruel and have no place in the modern world. It is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function. Firstly, zoos are places of education. Zoos can help children to appreciate nature. Furthermore, research into animal behavior is done in zoos and has increased our knowledge of zoology, genetics and even psychology. Above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animal. Many species today are in danger of extinction(灭绝), and thanks to zoos, they have a chance of survival. Opponents of zoos say that they are cruel. First of all, they argue zoos cannot recreate the environment in which animals live and because of this, animals are bored and depressed. Secondly, animals have frequent contact with human visitors, which can be stressful. However, in my opinion, most zoos have improved recently. It is now quite rare to see animals in cages, and most zoos try hard to recreate the environments in which different animals live. In conclusion, although zoos are not a perfect environment for animals, I believe that they have more advantages than disadvantages. In an ideal world, zoos would not be necessary. But as long as man hunts animals for profit and destroys their environments, zoos are essential.51. What is the most important function of zoos according to the writer?A. Educating children.B. Saving rare animals.C. Recreating an environment.D. Making a profit.52. Why are some people against zoos?A. Animals make visitors stressful.B. Animals must live their lives in cages.C. Animals can feel bored and sad.D. Animals are in danger of extinction.53. What does the writer think of zoos?A. They are still useful and necessary.B. They have more disadvantages than advantages.C. They are a perfect environment for animals.D. They are recreative places for animals.54. Many animal species can remain because _______________.A. they live in the zoosB. children help themC. they can see other animals in the zoosD. the animals are cruel55. Most zoos are ______________.A. getting worse and worseB. getting smaller and smallerC. getting better and betterD. more and more popular56. It’s ___________ to keep the animals live in the cages according to the passage.A. safeB. creativeC. necessaryD. cruelD阅读下面一篇文章，从每小题所给出的A、B、C、D中找出第二至第五段各段的最恰当的大意。

But be careful. If they bite you, you may get a terrible disease——rabies.Believe it or not, in the last five months, rabies killed more people in China than any other disease.2,254 people got rabies in the first nine months of this year. In September, 318 people died of rabies. That is 37 per cent more than last September.Animals like dogs, cats, squirrels and bats can have rabies. If they bite or scratch (抓) someone, rabies could infect (感染) the person’s nervous system (神经系统). The person could even die. It’s important to get the right treatment as soon as possible. Every year, more than 50,000 people around the world die of rabies. Most of them are from developing countries. India has the most deaths. China is second.71. Rabies is the name of _____.A. a bookB. a manC. a dogD. a disease72.

What the best title for the passage?A. Don’t keep petsB. How to keep petsC. Watch out for rabiesD. Pets with rabies(B)Many people go to different countries and live in different places in their lifetime. In different countries, they may meet with different manners. Sometimes they are puzzled by the different manners, and perhaps they may make a joke about those manners. So when we go to a strange country, we should pay attention to something new or dissimilar. For example, most Westerners are not concerned about protocol (礼仪) in social matters. But there are a few table manners the Easterners should try to observe（遵守）at all times.To start with, put the napkin（餐巾）on your lap. It protects your clothes from food or is used to wipe your hands or mouth when necessary.Hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand, and cut the meat or fish into pieces as you eat. Always use your fork to put food into your mouth. Use your spoon only for soup or other liquids.Do not put your own utensils (fork , knife, spoon )into the serving bowl （公用碗）. Use the utensil in the bowl to put some of the food on your own plate, and then return the serving utensil to the bowl.Do not spit food anywhere. If you have bones in your mouth, take them out with your fingers and place them on the edge of your plate, never on the table or floor.Do not reach across the table or in front of another person. Ask someone to pass whatever you want.Do not sneeze, cough or blow your nose anywhere except into a handkerchief（手帕）or Kleenex（纸巾）. Then you throw it into a waste paper basket or garbage can （垃圾桶）. If you cough, try to cover your mouth with you hand.76. The Easterners usually pay little attention to in social matters .A. table mannersB. how to walkC. how to use a serving bowlD. how to use a utensil77. Put the napkin on your lap.

Don’t at table.A. talk with othersB. sing songsC. laugh at othersD. sneeze, cough, spit food or blow your nose(C)A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He carried a paper bag. And four duck feet could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks’legs at once and said, “Whose is that bag?”Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, “I’ll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn’t be taken out of the country.”“Well, then,” said the small man with a fat stomach. “Hurry up and take it. We want to go home.” The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage.At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the other passengers and said, “I hope they’ll enjoy the ducks’ feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it.” Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied tightly (紧紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. “I have the rest of the two ducks here,” he said. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to the exit（出口）with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, “Hey, man! Foreign food mustn’t be brought in.”81. The small man put the bag in the middle of the floor ___ .A. so that he could make more room for himselfB. so that the policeman could find it easilyC. because the other passengers didn’t like itD. because there was not an empty seat in the carriage82. The first policeman took the paper bag away because ___ .A. he wanted to find the owner of the bagB. he enjoyed the duck’s feet in the bagC. the bag was put in a wrong place in the carriageD. food can’t be taken abroad83.

Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. Andit was on special offer. Oh joy, I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?〞 He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?〞he said, It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?〞I replied ,“There is nothing wrong with it？〞 This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad, “No, no, but you should try it,〞he said encouraging ,“compare it with the others.〞I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop., it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end , I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man . So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers… and when he started to int roduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.41.The shop assistant insisted that the writer shouldA. get more information about different companies.B. compare the camera he had chosen with others.C. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.D. trust him and stop asking questions.42. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it 〞(paragraph 2)A. He should get a 50% discount.B. the price of the camera was unreasonably high.C. the quality of the camera was not good.D. the camera would soon fall in value.43. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen becauseA. knew very little about it.B. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers.C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best.D. didn’t trust the shop assistant.44. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion,A.. famous companies care more about profit than qualityB. cameras have an important part of our daily lifeC. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a productD. people waste too much money on cameras.CYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it．You do not need to be strong．But you need to be quick．And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?〞 You must think about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let's start with the wind blowing from the behind．This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction．Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat．It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat．Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat．In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat．I t should be at a 45° angle to the boat．It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (摆动)．It shouldn't look like on a flagpole．If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible．If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop．You may want to go in that direction．It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line．You must go first in one direction and then in another．This is called tacking．When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45．What should you consider first while sailing?A．Sailors' strength. B．Wave levels. C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails. 46．What does the word “It〞 underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The boat. B．The wind. C．The sail. D．The angle.47．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap.C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat.48．Where can you probably find the text?AIn a popular magazine. BIn a tourist guidebook.CIn a physics textbook. DIn an official report.DAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and . It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recyclinghelps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.49. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption〞 refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.50. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of super marketsD. the fact of packaging overuse51. According to the text, recycling ______.A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land52. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.53. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable waste.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.EWhen women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously 〔同时的〕about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully inorder to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their child ren. Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech，we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.54. While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because theyA. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands55. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to .A. experience the happy time againB. keep a close tie with herC. recommend her a new scenic spotD. remind her of something forgotten56. What does the author want to tell us most?A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communicationB. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.57. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB. Talking Maintains RelationshipsC. Women Love to TalkD. Men Talk Differently from WomenFADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia –One of the world’s most famous fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September.“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,〞 said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 3.5-foot-tall ape-man (猿人).58. The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A. introduce a few U.S. museumsB. describe some research workC. discuss the value of an ape-manD. report a coming event59. What does the words “a replica〞 in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A painting of the skeleton.B. A photograph of LucyC. A copy of the skeleton.D. A written record of Lucy.60. How many cities has Lucy’s U.S. tour plan already included?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Eleven.GEmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __61__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __62__There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __63__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __64__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successfu l in work or in your love life,〞she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商〕? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __65__To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a tea m that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle〞 with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A.Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C.“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,〞 Freed says.D.Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything butempathetic.E.Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F.Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence〞that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G.Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships四、短文改错 (每题1分) Dear Editor,I'm writing to tell you opinion about water saving. 66.______ Water is important．We, as well as animal, cannot live 67.______ without water and neither agriculture or industry can go 6without it．Yet it seemed water is becoming less and less. 69.______ Many countries in the world find we don't have enough water. 70.______ To deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all 71.______ out to plant trees though trees will help save water．Next, no 72.______ drinking water should be left running．Third, we should find 73.______ ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath 74.______ water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water. 75.______1-5DDBBA 6-10BDADB 11-15DCDBC16-20BADBC 21-25ACBDC 26-30DABCD 31-35CBACD36-40ADCBA 41-45BDCCC 46-50CDADD 51-55ACACB56-60ACDCB 61-65BDGFCLi HuaDear Editor,I'm writing to tell you∧opinion about water saving. 66． myWater is important．We, as well as animal, cannot live 67． animals without water and neither agriculture or industry can go 68． norwithout it．Yet it seemed water is becoming less and less. 69． seemsMany countries in the world find we don't have enough water. 70． theyTo deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all 71． the/this/that out to plant trees though trees will help save water．Next, no 72．because/since/as drinking water should be left running．Third, we should find 73．√ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath 74． usedwater for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water. 75． for Sincerely,Li Hua1-5DDBBA 6-10BDADB 11-15DCDBC16-20BADBC 21-25ACBDC 26-30DABCD 31-35CBACD36-40ADCBA 41-45BDCCC 46-50CDADD 51-55ACACB56-60ACDCB 61-65BDGFCLi HuaDear Editor,I'm writing to tell you∧opinion about water saving. 66． myWater is important．We, as well as animal, cannot live 67． animals without water and neither agriculture or industry can go 68． norwithout it．Yet it seemed water is becoming less and less. 69． seemsMany countries in the world find we don't have enough water. 70． theyTo deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all 71． the/this/that out to plant trees though trees will help save water．Next, no 72．because/since/as drinking water should be left running．Third, we should find 73．√ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath 74． usedwater for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water. 75． for Sincerely,Li Hua。

She had just met Tom and they wanted to know more about each other. But unfortunately, the fellow had a car accident that night, and was killed.Deeply moved by the sadness that my friend Sally was experiencing, I had to write her some words about being able to see how Tom had influenced her life and suggested that he possibly came to her as an angel of change for her life.I encouraged her not to be sad and suggested her instead think about the positive (积极的) message Tom’s life gave her and the people around her. This way would bring honor to Tom’s life, and pay it forward by using his spirit to influence someone else’s life in a positive way.I was honored that Sally was touched by this letter, and said that she would give it to a friend to read, as she would also find it useful. It’s funny that I have recently become an author of self-help material, having experienced some of the darker sides of life myself.Since becoming of service to others in this way, I have moments when I am physically and emotionally forced to just start writing about something. My writing often ends up being a message to help someone. It is almost as if somethingtakes over and writes these inspiring messages for me.

Useless and dangerous.7.Why does the author often look up words in the dictionary?A. Because she knows little about the language.B. Because she doesn’t allow any mistakes in h er letters.C. Because she wants to find more beautiful words.D. Because she is always finding faults with her letters.CSingapore is a country with 42% of its population who are foreign-born. Singaporeans, even those of the same ethnic group(少数民族), have many different first languages and cultures. For example, within the Singaporean Chinese group, nearly a third speak English as their home language while almost half speak Standard Chinese as their home language and the rest speak various Chinese dialects as their home language. Due to these reasons, the English fluency level of residents in Singapore varies greatly from person to person.Most reasonably educated Singaporeans do speak Singapore Standard English, alternatively (或者者) known as Educated Singapore English, which is grammatically not different from standard British English, with changes being confined (限制) to accent and a few borrowed words, causing few challenges to any native Britons.Singapore English derives (起源) its roots from the 146 years of British colonial (殖民的) rule over Singapore until its independence in 1965. Before 1965, the standard form of English in Singapore had always been British English. After Singapore declared (宣布) independence, English in Singapore began to take a life of its own, leading to the development of modern Singapore English.English had been the administrative (行政的) language of the colonial government, and when Singapore gained self-government in 1959, the local government decided to keep English as the main language in order to maximize (使最大化) economic prosperity (繁荣). The use of English as the nation’s first language serves to bridge the gap (隔膜) between the diverse (多种多样的) ethnic groups in Singapore. As the global language for commerce (商业), technology and science, the improvement of English also helps to speed up Singapore’s development and becoming important part of the global economy.8.How many people are native Singaporeans?A. Less than 1/4 of the population.B. About forty percent of the population.C. Only half of the population.D .Nearly sixty percent of the population.9.In what ways is Singapore Standard English different from standard British English?A. More words and pronunciations are in Singapore Standard English.B. There are a few borrowed words and changed accent in Singapore Standard English.C. There are more words and grammars in standard British English.D. More people in the world speak more standard British English than Singapore Standard English.10.According to the passage, when did the British begin to rule Singapore?A. In 146.B. In 1819.C. In 1959.D. In 1965.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The British government suggested people in Singapore use more English.B. English has replaced all the other languages in Singapore.C. English is important to Singapore’s economic development and the unity of the ethnic groups.D. Almost all the children can speak English freely at home and at school.DMy daughter’s cheeks had never looked quite so rosy (红润的). Never before had she tried out a sauna(桑拿). In Britain, six year olds aren’t encouraged to do such things. In Finland, there’s one sauna for every three people.We had never thought about coming to Finland before, and hadn’t actually heard of Tampere, the country’s seco nd largest city. It’s actually less than two and a half hours away by plane, and has a population of 200,000. The Finns are advertising Tampere as the perfect destination (目的地) for an all-year round holiday. We arrived to be greeted (迎接) by a beautiful bla nket of snow on the ground, but in the summer it’s hot, very green and perfect for outdoor trips.The city is small and pretty, with some beautiful churches, good museums and a selection of tempting shops. Shopping options (选择) include a charming (有魅力的) Christmas market and, nearby in Lempaala, the Ideapark, with more than 100 stores and a great children’s activity centre where you can leave the kids and shop to your heart’s content (满足).Our trip was packed with activities which would interest families—and that included two trips to a sauna which was in the middle of the woods, at Villa Amanda, around an hour away from the city centre. It is a beautiful, traditional Finnish cottage (小屋) situated on a lake and easily suitable for a couple of families to rent. We drank wine on the veranda (走廊) and were surprised at the views before trying out the villa’s personal sauna, which my daughter loved and had to be dragged (拉) away from.12.Why did the author’s daughter look so rosy?A. Because she had drunk some wine.B. Because she was a little shy.C. Because she had just come out of the sauna.D. Because she was a little frozen.13.The Ideapark is a place where .A. customers can have a good dinner and a wonderful shopping.B. children can enjoy themselves while their parents can shop freely without them.C. travelers can enjoy a short drive in the woods and special views on the lake.D. there are many shops where customers can stay all the time during their holidays.14.The underlined word “it〞 in the last paragraph most probably refers to .A. our tripB. a saunaC. the city centerD. the woods15.What does the passage mainly tell us?A. A Winter Wonderland in Finland.B. Different kinds of food in Finland.C. The popularity of saunas in Finland.D. Development of Finnish Tourism.第二节(一共5小题;每一小题2分,满分是10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

The coastal town, located on the Western Cape about 1.5 hours from Cape Town, is famous for whale watching. It is one of the best locations in the world to witness large numbers of southern right whales moving in the season. The festival, which is the only eco-arts festival in South Africa, attracts over 130,000 visitors.Hermanus also has the world’s only “Whale Crier”, whose job is to go around and tell people where they may see whales — with his horn. Fortunately, the timing of the festival almost guarantees a whale sighting — as close as a few meters from shore!The whales are, of course, the main attraction of the festival, but many more terrific activities are available. The seaside environment, with the surrounding mountains, makes an ideal setting to enjoy the festival’s musical performances and fantastic seafood. For those who desire more adventure, there’s open water swimming, a night run and sports challenges. Other activities include an old car show, arts and crafts stalls and entertainment for kids.

Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about seven hours a day. An X-ray technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area, two pregnant women, who were working with paint, requested a transfer to a safer department because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owner was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met and agreed to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.Questions14.
