Reading comprehensionA. Choose the best answer.A steel bridge collapsed（倒塌）during evening rush hour. Dozens of cars fell down 60 feet into the Mississippi River. Ten people died, and more than 50 were seriously injured. The bridge was being repaired because it was found to be structurally deficient（结构有缺陷的）；it needed to be repaired. Like many bridges throughout America, the bridge was built more than 40 years ago. Traffic was much lighter then. Nowadays, cars, buses, and big trucks cross the bridge every day, even late at night.“I heard a terrific sound,”said Miss Turner about the disaster. She ran out of her car to see what was happening. She saw cars falling into the river and heard people screaming. She heard the loud sounds of the bridge collapsing and sounds as the parts of the bridge and cars hit the water.“It was horrible,”she said. Engineers had no explanation for th e collapse. They said the bridge had been inspected recently. The report said that, although it was structurally deficient, the bridge was not unsafe. Since the report did not say that the bridge was unsafe, the decision was so simply repair it at some locations.Americans were shocked that an American bridge could simply collapse. The news was all over TV, radio and most newspapers. One newspaper survey showed that almost 10 percent（about 59,000）o f American’s bridges werestructurally deficient.At first, some people thought that terrorists（恐怖分子）might have put a bomb（炸弹）into the bridge. One drive said that, before he drove over another bridge in America, he would make sure that a life jacket was in the front seat next to him.69. A steel bridge collapsed at about _____.A. 7:30 a.m.B. 11:30 a.m.C. 7:30 p.m.D. 11:30 p.m.70. It was reported that ______ people died in the disaster.A. 50B. 10C. 60D. 4071.

The steel bridge collapsed because _____.A. it was too oldB. there was a bombC. the traffic was too heavyD. some terrorists attacked74. How did Americans feel after the disaster?A. They were excited about the news.B. None of them dared to cross my bridge.C. They were frightened and worried.D. They were angry and sad.B. Choose the best words or phrases and complete the passage.You either have it, or you don’t –a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction, ___75___ they do not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research which is being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.”Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project." However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they ___76___ develop the skills."Jim Martland also points out that young people should be taught certain skills to ___77___ their sense of direction.

But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might e___81___ learn something while you play it—Meet Sortee.Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects and their meanings.The r___82___ of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label (标签) next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to d___83___ which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.The game seems easy enough at first.

Answer the questions.A new TV series in England, Away from it all, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people across the country. Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today/ There are also no stressful moments, busy offices or crowded cities. Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness.The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress（压力）. They say that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the stress of exams and homework, and the troubles that fill the world today. They also say that it’s a good sign of today’s young people switching to(转到)happier TV series as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world.Although the series’ success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried, however. They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes (终日泡在电视机前的人) and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework. Some children have even refusedto learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely. And what do the experts say? Paula Ray, a doctor of education, says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles. But she says that if a child reacts strongly, it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in beha viour. She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that ___________________________________________.88.

I'd love to.C．That sounds like a good idea.D．I'll be glad to help you.二、用单词的正确形式完成短文To be a successful speaker is no easy thing. It is essential for you to know why you are speaking and what you wish to 21．by your speech. The four most common purposes of speech are to inform, to convince, to move to action, and to entertain. Do you, like a teacher or an expert in a field, wish to illustrate your ideas in detail to people unfamiliar with your subject so that they can understand your ideas clearly and thoroughly? Or, like a debater, with to 22．the judges or the audience? Or, like a fund collector for a naturalist foundation, wish to get money? Or, like a comedian or after-dinner speaker, wish to 23．? The language and tone you use must be proper for your purpose, for your audience, and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will have quite different language, tone and manner from information delivered to a group of your friends.Furthermore, however talented the speaker is, a talk without enough preparation is usually a failure. To speak without preparing is to 24．without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is; then state it in a complete topic sentence. Make sure that your subject is definite and not too broad.Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with 25．numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, 26．in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations 27．for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, 28．bad weather, and making food without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.三、用所给单词的正确形式填空Complete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms（用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子，每空格限填一次）29．The beautiful poetry was ruined by her poor ________.（deliver）30．I can say in all _______ that I knew nothing of these plans.（sincerely）31．It would be ________ of me not to advise my company to abandon this project.（responsibility）32．He was of great ________ to me in researches for my books.（assist）33．Parents may find that a ________ teenager becomes unmanageable.（trouble）34．Success doesn’t only depend on what you do. What you don’t do is _____ important.（equality）35．For the sake of historical _________, please permit us to state the true facts.（accurate）36．Many students apply for ________ to more than one university.（admit）四、完成句子Complete the following sentences as required（根据所给要求完成句子）37．People set up a lot of new schools after the flood.（改为否定句）People didn’t ________ up _________ new schools after the flood.38．Mary didn’t go back in a hurry.

allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of acity?In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.69.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.70.Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author?A.Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.B.Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.C.Because people like following old ideas and do not like change.D.Because people have to respect new architectural styles.71.Which of the following is true according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.72.By using`“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably means“”.A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historicalbuildings73.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up with living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.74.What is the author’s attitude towards the topic“Should we allow modern buildings to be builtnext to older buildings in a historic area of a city?”A.UninterestedB.SupportiveC.NeutralD.DisapprovedB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(12分)In1973,I was teaching elementary school.Each day,27kids entered“The Thinking Laboratory.”That was the name students voted for after deciding that“Room104”was too dull.Freddy was an average student,but not an average person.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion（同情）.He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s 75.Before the school year,I gave the kids a special gift,T-shirts with the words“Verbs Are Your76”on them.I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull,most of the fun things they do through out their lives will be verbs.Through the years,I’d run into former students who would provide77on old classmates.I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same78person I met forty years before.Once,while working over night at a store,he let a homeless man sleep in his truck.Another time,he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year,I was79a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope.I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the“Verbs”shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother.“Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving.He wanted you to have this.”I told the story to the class.As sad as it was,I couldn’t help smiling.Although Freddy was taken from us,we all80something from Freddy.75..A.misfortune B.disbelief C.dishonesty D.mistake76.A.friends B.Awards C.Masters D.Tasks77.A.assessments ments C.instructions D.updates78.A.daring B.modest C.caring D.smart79.A.observing B.preparing C.designing D.conducting80.A.chose B.took C.expected D.borrowedC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(14分)For most city people,the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains,jets，and even bicycles.Dr.Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who c81this a misunderstanding.Without the elevator,they point out,there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings,and city life as we know it would be i82.In that sense,they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars.In fact,according to Wilk?the car and the elevator have been locked in a“secret war”for over a century,with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical(垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators,it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring,and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common,and an unpleasant a83of the fact thatwe’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book,Lifted,German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a84to this experience,studying the origins of elevator and its r85 to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience.“After150years,we are still not used to it”，Bernard said.“We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”That mixture,according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s86we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more c87, taller,and more crowded,America’s total number of elevators—900,000at last count,according to Elevator World magazine’s“2012Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever.And for the people who really,really love them,it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.81c82i83.848586.87.D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(12分)Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents?According to James Flynn,a professor at a New Zealand university,you are!Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher---on average,three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the“Flynn effect”,and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge.Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment,but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity（遗传）. So what has occurred in the20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test.Others have pointed to better nutrition.Babies now are born larger,healthier,and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles,with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test.Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test;they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving.For example,one part of the test shows a set of shapes,and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn,this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.Every time you play a computer game,you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test.So are you really smarter than your parents?In one very specific way,you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1分)89.What do IQ tests focus on,general intelligence or knowledge?(2分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2分)93.Do you agree with Flynn?Why or why not?(3分)参考答案26-30DBADD31-35DBABB36-40ADABA41-45CADDC46.D47.A48.E49.B50.C51.A52.B53.E54.trickier55.habitual56.essence57.skillfully58.respetable59.exchange60.electricity61.requirements62.Did,stick63.It's,since64.am woken65.isn't it66.What important67.preferred,to 69.A70.C71.C72.C73.D74.B75.A76.A77.D78.C79.D80.B81.consider82.impossible83.awareness84.attention85.relationship86.situation87. crowded88.Yes,he does89.General intelligence90.By increasing exposure to tests and learning test-taking techniques.91.The sections requiring reasoning and problem solving92.To prove that increasing the amount of technology in our lives can improve the visual intelligence.93.略。

She had to work to support the family. Her English was very poor. She didn't havethe confidence to knock on the door of a company to ask for a job.O ne day. Lilly saw a sign at a company. "Help wanted.” the sign said. She walked up to the office and knocked on the door. She was met by the office manager. Margaret Costello. In her broken English, Lilly told her she was interested in the secretarial position, and said that she was 19. Margaret knew something wasn't right, but decided to give the girl a chance.Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, "Lilly, let's see how good you really are. She let Lilly type a single letter, and then left. Lilly looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:40 a.m. Everyone would leave for lunch at noon. She thought that she could slip away in the crowd then. But she thought she should at least try the letter. On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words, and she made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock now showed 11:45. On her second try, Lilly got through a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. Again, she pulled out the paper, threw it out and started over. This time she completed the letter, but there were still many mistakes. She looked at the clock: 11:55. Just then. Margaret walked in. She read the letter and then said, “Lilly, you did a good job." Lilly was surprised. With those simple words of encourage ment, her confidence began to grow. She thought, “Well, if she thinks it's good, then it must be good. I think I’ll stay.”Lilly did stay at the company for 51 years, and through two world wars-all because someone gave a shy and uncertain young girl self-confidence when she knocked at the door.69.

The Etruscans(伊特拉斯坎人）knew how to make them as far back as 700 B.C. Then the Etruscans’ knowledge of false teeth was f ____81_____, and for many years no one knew how to make them.At one time in England, dentists pulled out peopled teeth w_____82____giving anything to stop the pain. Sometimes the dentist’s assistant hit a drum loudly so that the crowd would not hear the cries of pain. Another assistant held the patient down as the dentist pulled out the teeth.Then in the seventeenth century, dentists attempted to make false teeth again. The problem, however, was not making the teeth; it was keeping them in place. They had to tie each false tooth to the teeth on either side of it. Only rich people could a____83_____false teeth, which were usually made of ivory, gold or silver. As the demand for new teeth increased, poor people would often sell their teeth so that they could buy food and clothing.Many c____84_____were made to false teeth during the next 200 years, though some of these were not really improvements. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, for example, cheap celluloid(赛璐璐，一种塑料)teeth were introduced. But they caught fire very easily, and a number of men were badly burned when their teeth caught fire while they were s____85_____.Nowadays false teeth are so well made and look so r____86_____-they are made of a kind of plastic-that it is often impossible to tell from a person’s appearance whether or not they have them. And in the near future, very f____87___ people will have them because by adding certain things to the water we drink, we have been able to keep our teeth so healthy that most people will never need false teeth.D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)Few people would disagree that email makes our lives easier. But misusing email can cause problems. Answering all those emails and processing all that information can overload(使负荷过大) the brain, causing stress. So says the Future Work Center, a business based in London. This company carries out psychological(心理的) research on people’s experiences in their workplaces.Dr. Richard MacKinnon at the center was the lead author of a report on messaging habits. He calls email a double-edged sword: Emails provide a useful way to communicate, but they could add to tension（紧张情緒）in the mind, causing stress. Come rain or shine(无论如何)，some office workers are under pressure to read and answer emails all day long. Psychologists care about the pressure that workers bring on themselves. Dr. MacKinnon says that while email can be a valuable, time-saving communication tool, it can also be a source of stress and even anger for many of us. He adds that the stress does not come from the number of emails you get. The problems result from when and how you deal with them.According to the study, leaving email on all day and never signing off ( 签收), along with reading and answering emails early in the day and late at night, are what makes email stressful. Dr. MacKinnon says these bad email habits are linked to higher levels of stress in office workers. The report gives several suggestions on avoiding email stress.•Use email with a plan. Do not just react to endless email. If you use an email application, or app, close it down when you want to be left alone.•If you need to communicate with a co-worker, call or better still walk to their office and talk about it.•Be careful with the "reply air option. For example, if you are accep ting an invitation to attend training, just write back to those who need to know. Trust me. Other workers on that mailing list will thank you.•And accept the fact that if a matter is urgent, employers will call you about it. Email is certainly not going anywhere, so it is important to take control of your emails and not the other way around.88.Many people disagree that email makes our lives easier, don't they?89.Why does Dr. MacKinnon call email Ma double-edged sword”?90.What is linked to bad email habits in office workers?91.What’s the purpose of giving suggestions according to the report?92.If you want to receive an invitation by email, what should you do to reply it?93.What good or bad habit of email processing have you got?Why do you think it is good or bad?VII.

To monkey around means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to ___46___ waste time.But to spend time playing with their family pe ts wouldn’t count as monkeying around. Many American families have a pet dog, which makes the children feel happy. But for some reason, which language experts do not know, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a d og, you are really, really sick and will most likely have to stay home and rest, or ___47___ go and see a doctor.Apartfrom dogs, cats are also beloved family members in U.S. households. Sometimes you may hear them ___48___ in Americans’ conversations. “I told you to keep that a secret, but you have just let the cat out of the bag!” You probably have guessed it --- that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear s ide by side in a ___49___ used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s raining cats and dogs outside!Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t ___50___ someone else to love you until you love yourself. Eitherway, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our grandm as think we’re great talents and our uncles think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you ___51___ a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is make a list if you need to. but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to ____52____ in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary ask. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you're weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and ____53____ If you think you’ re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.

A lot of them are inspired by a real event but the story changes as it is passed on .Although most legends are false,some turn out to be true.Here are some examples.Do you think they are true or false?UnluckyA student had not done his homework.The day before the essay was due in,he went to the university library and found an old essay written on the same subject.He simply copied it,types it up and handed it in.A few weeks later,the teache r was handling the essays back to the class.She stopped by the student’s desk and said.”Twenty-five years ago,when I wrote this essay,it got a B.__________________”.She set the essay on the student’s desk,and there on the cover was a big A!The teacher cont inued,”If you try anything like this again,I’ll have you thrown out of school.”Caught on filmA young couple were married.The bride’s father gave them a lavish wedding and took a large wad of cash to pay people like the band,bartender,waiters,etc.At one point,the father took off his jacket to dance.When he later retrieved it,he discovered that the money was missing.A couple of weeks later,the entire family gathered to watch the video of the wedding.At one point,the groom’s father,unbeknown to him,could be seen in the background taking the money from the bride’s father’s coat!Of course this created a scandal and the marriage was immediately declared invalid.Confusing packagingThe packaging of consumer products,a convenience so familiar to Americans,can be confusing to a foreign visitor.I was lunching in the college cafeteria on afternoon with a young student from a overseas.Noticing that he dipped,unopened,into the water.A bit surprised,he thanked me graciously for correcting him----and then confidently dropped an unopened envelop of sugar into his tea.74.According to the passage,urban legends are stories that______________.1.are always based on a true story.2.are told as if they are true.3.are always false.4.are modern.5.are known by lots of people.A.1,2,4,5B.2,4,5C.1,3,4D.3,575.The student in Unlucky was unlucky because_____________.A.he wrote the wrong essay.B.The teacher gave him the wrong grade.C.He couldn’t find his copy of essay.D.He copied the wrong person’s essay.76.Which of the following is the most suitable to be put into the bank in the second paragraph?A.I wrote it by myself instead of copyingB.It needed a lot of improvementC.You did much better than I.D.I always thought it deserves an A.77.After watching the video in Caught on film,the bride’s family probably felt_______________.A.amusedB.emotionalC.embarrassedD.angry78.Which of the pictures below shows what the student’s cup looked like in Confusing packaging?79.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)(6分)Should museums be free? That’s the question many people are asking following news of a cl ass action lawsuit(集体诉论) against one of the world’s most prestigious, expensive and visited museums.New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is accused of deceptive ticketing practices. The lawsuit charges that the museum leads people to believe the $25 fee is 80 rather than merely recommended.The Met attracts some six million visitors per year, all of whom see a sign at the entrance informing the museum’s $25 adult admission fee. Though in smaller type just below the price is the word “recommended”. Ove r 40 percent visitors pay the full ticket prices 81 noticing it.The lawsuit has raised questions about the pricing of museums across the U.S., ranging free to a recommended fee to mandatory(强制的) ticket fee. This is 82 some countries, like the U. K, where all national museums are free.A survey of 30 top U.S. museums by The Art Newspaper has found that the root of the debate can be divided into two camps. One camp focuses on museums, revenue(收益), while the other believes museums should be free community 83 .According to the survey, museums in smaller cities tend not to charge admission fees, such as Ohio’s Cleveland Museum of Art. Museums in larger cities, such as New York’s Met, tend to charge high entry fees. Museums in major cities, especially those that attract tourists, charge a lot for entry. Their counterparts in areas with 84 fewer international tourists or which rely on local visitors are more likely to be free because they need those visitors to return.If more museums were to adopt free admission policies, support mechanisms would need to be 85 . Among them would be strong government grant programs for the arts, more private donations and a revived culture of philanthropy to support cultural institutions.What do you think? Should museums be free for all?80. A)prohibited B)forced C) voluntary D)required81. A)after B) before C) without D)while82. A)different from B)keeping pace with C) in contrast to D)similar to83. A)treasures B)resources C) sources D) services84. A)increasing B) decreasing C) more D)fewer85. A)in time B) in need C) in place D) in orderC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper word（在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):(14)Anxiety is the appropriate (适当的) emotion when the personal terror－of a volcano, an arrow, a stab (刺伤) in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self－－d 86 .The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s 87 , a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified (不具体的) and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety－for good times may end．If the world is going badly－it may get w 88 . Anxiety tends to be without f 89 ; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. W 90 we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom (症状) which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right．People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either r 91 to go into cars at all－and so complicate the ordinary course of life－or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c 92 , which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.D.Answer the questions (根据短文回答下列问题)：（6分）Years ago, a walk around Beijing's hutong would mean hearing chatting locals adding "er” to the end of syllables.However, this feature can hardly be heard among today's Beijing dwellers (居民). A recent report by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.With quick social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, making the existence of dialects in danger.But rather than just letting the problem be. Efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry. For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from. From dialects, we can also know the history and local culture behind them.To save these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission (国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects. while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums. The Beijing municipal education authorities (北京市教育部门) also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.And it's not just the government that is making an effort to keep the country's dialects an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort, too. Wang Han, a well-known host of Hunan TV has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.But all these efforts are still not enough 10 keep dialects from fading away. What we’ re doing now is mostly rescue works. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect” (名人效应) to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.93.We can’t often hear chatting locals adding “-er ” to the end of syllable among today’s Beijing dwellers, can we?94.What endangers the existence of dialects ?95.Why do we try to save dialects ?96.Who is making efforts to protect dialects ?97.How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way ?By98.Are you for or against the gov ernment’s efforts to save dialects ?

In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placedvery successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.69.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? A.Someof them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.70.Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author?A.Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.B.Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.C.Because people like following old ideas and do not like change.D.Because people have to respect new architectural styles.71.Which of the following is true according to the author? A.Weshould reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.72.By using `“move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_______”.A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings73.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.Toexplain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up with living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.74.What is the author’s attitude towards the topic“Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?”A.UninterestedB.SupportiveC.NeutralD.DisapprovedB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(12 分)In 1973, I was teaching elementary school. Each day, 27 kids entered“The Thinking Laboratory.” That was the name students voted for after deciding that “Room 104” was too dull.Freddy was an average student, but not an average person.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion （同情）. He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s __75_______.Before the school year___________, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your_____76____ ” on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull, most of the fun things they do through out their lives will be verbs.Through the years, I’d run into former students who would provide ___77_______ on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same ____78____ person I met forty years before. Once, while working over night at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year, I was ____79______ a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the “Verbs” shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother. “Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this.”I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn’t help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all____80______something from Freddy.75..A. misfortune B. disbelief C. dishonesty D. mistake76.A.friends B. Awards C.

Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be i___82___. In that sense, they argue ，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk? the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant a____83__ of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a___84___to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its r____85____to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”，Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture,according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s___86____we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today ，as the world’s urban population explodes ，and cities become more c__87____, taller,and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count,according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.81c______82i______ 83.______84________85_______86._____87.______D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(12 分)Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the“Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity （遗传）. So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger,healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1 分)89.What do IQ tests focus on,general intelligence or knowledge?(2 分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2 分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2 分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2 分) 93.D o you agree with Flynn?Why or why not?(3 分)参考答案26-30DBADD 31-35DBABB 36-40 ADABA 41-45 CADDC46.

Keep your head up with arms up in front of your chest. This protects your chest and gives you the best chance to breathe. Above all, don’t get frightened!Have you seen a group of boys dancing hip-pop together? The music beat is usually exciting and cool! And the people dancing hip-pop seem to really enjoy what they are doing.What is the real meaning of "Hip-pop"? Some people say it is the motion that people make while they're dancing. They move their hips sideways when they dance. That's very interesting. The first hip-pop music came to the world in the beginning of the 1970s by DJs (disk jockeys) A Jamaican known as Kool Herc was the first person who___50_____hip-pop music.

In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.69.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.70.Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author?A.Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.B.Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.C.Because people like following old ideas and do not like change.D.Because people have to respect new architectural styles.71.Which of the following is true according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.72.By using `“move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_______”.A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings73.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up with living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.74.What is the author’s attitude towards the topic“Should we allow mod ern buildings to be builtnext to older buildings in a historic area of a city?”A.UninterestedB.SupportiveC.NeutralD.DisapprovedB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(12分)In 1973, I was teaching elementary school. Each day, 27 kids entered“The Thinking Laboratory.” That was the name students voted for after deciding that “Room 104” was too dull.Freddy was an average student, but not an average person.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion（同情）. He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s __75_______.Before the school year___________, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your_____76____ ” on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull, most of the fun things they do through out their lives will be verbs.Through the years, I’d run into former students who would provide ___77_______ on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same ____78____ person I met forty years before. Once, while working over night at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year, I was ____79______ a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the “Verbs” shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother. “Freddy passed away on Thank sgiving. He wanted you to have this.”I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn’t help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all____80______something from Freddy.75..A. misfortune B. disbelief C. dishonesty D. mistake76.A.friends B. Awards C.

Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be i___82___. In that sense, they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk? the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant a____83__ of the fact thatwe’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a___84___to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its r____85____to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”，Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture,according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s___86____we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more c__87____, taller,and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count,according to Eleva tor World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.81c______ 82i______ 83.______ 84________85_______ 86._____ 87.______D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(12分)Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the“Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity （遗传）. So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger,healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1分)89.What do IQ tests focus on,general intelligence or knowledge?(2分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2分)93.

Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who c___81___this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be i___82___. In that sense, they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk? the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant a____83__ of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a___84___to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its r____86____tohumankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”，Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every others___86____we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more c__87____, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.81c______ 82i______ 83.______ 84________85_______ 86._____ 87.______D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(12分)Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the “Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to beexplained by heredity （遗传）. So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in outlives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In on every specific way, you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1分)89.What do IQ tests focus on, general intelligence or knowledge?(2分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2分)93.
