But that is not thecase. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic, often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans weresemi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interestsof the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be moreartistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand, were more engineers than artists. They concentrated theirefforts on urban planning, well-functioning water pipes, and the bestroads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures reallysimilar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both lived a full life.40. What is the first paragraph about?A. The Greek and the Roman were similar.B. People misunderstood European civilization.C. Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D. European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The Romans had more political awareness.B. The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C. The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D. The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42. What were the Greeks famous for?A. The overall planning of a city or a town.B. The artistic decoration of the buildings.C. The practical functions of the buildings.aD. The system of water supply and transportation.43. How are the two cultures alike?A. Both loved the sea.B. Both lived long lives.C. Both loved cookingD. Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago, manyAmericans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Someeven thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what theywanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as someobservers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and moreAmericans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Manypeople today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airlinetrip. And there are some situations in which Americans must have creditcards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they firstmust give the car rental company the number of their credit card. Thatnumber is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay Credit cards offer two major services to Americans. First of all,they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second,they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough moneyto pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, mostcredit cards offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of whatthey owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadaysaccording to the passage?A. They consider it valuable.B. They regard it as a shame.C. They think it dangerous.D. They find it quite convenient.45.Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A. To prevent the overuse of the car.B. To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C. To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D. To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46.What advantage can credit card holders have? A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases. B.They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C. They can own something before they actually pay for it.D. They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47.What is the best title for the passage?A. Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB. Credit Services in AmericaC. Convenience of Living in AmericaD. History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the 1893 Columbian Exposition, a World Fair held in Chicago,chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed. It caught theeye of M. S. Hershey, who saw the potential for chocolate. He installedchocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster, and produced his firstchocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to makeup new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's. But it wasWorld War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smallerdistributed to American soldiers in Europe. Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers. By the end of thewar when the soldiers arrived home, the American candy bar business was assured. Why?Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same. As a result from that time on and through the 1920's, candy bar manufacturers became established throughout theUnited States, and as many as 40, 000 different candy bars appeared onthe scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coastin such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. The industry soonspread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar,corn syrup, and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat ofthe candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48.Why did M. S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A. He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B. He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popularC. There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D. He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair49.Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A. The adding of new materials.B. The demand in the army during WWI.C. The purchase of new machinesD. The appearance of smaller candy bars.50.What does the underlined word "seat"in the last paragraphmost probably mean?A. Focus.B.Position. C.Chair. D.Center51.What is this passage mainly about?A. World Fair held in Chicago in 1893.B. The popularity of the American candy bar industry.oC. The candy bar industry during World War.D. The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors,creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventuresof Huckleberry Finn. Twain passed away in 1910, leaving behind a treasure of great literature. But now, 100 years after his death, he'll have abrand-new book on the shelves: a three-volume autobiography.Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb it was his wish thatpublishers wait until100 years after his death to publish his memoirs ) which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than 5,000 pages, and likely won't be all sunshine and roses. It seems that Twain harbored some bitternessagainst former girlfriends and ex-friends. He also writes negativelyabout politicians of his day, such as Teddy Roosevelt. It's likely thathe requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published the autobiography has never been available in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic books. The firstvolume of the set will be available in November, and the trilogy is being published by the University of California, Berkeley."There are so many biographies of Twain, and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography", editor Robert Hirst told TheIndependent. "But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote. Bypublishing Twain's book in full we hope that people will be able to cometo their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52. According to Paragraph 1, which of the statements is TRUEof Mark Twain?A. He left behind lots of money.B. His works were written for children.C. His works are full of adventures.D. He is famous for his great works.53. What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?54.What does the underlined word "trilogy" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. work in three volumes.B. An imaginative work.C. collection of stories.55.What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?A. To supplement other biographies.B. To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C. To introduce Mark Twain's works.D. To expose new discoveries about MarkTwain V. Daily Conversation( 15 points)Directions: Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet.A.When shall we set off C. have a wonderful time E. be great funG. What should I takeB. What is the timeD. start packing F. What could I getH. where toMary: How do you like the idea of having a picnic this Saturday?John: Wonderful.

The legal limit is.08.Sergeant J.Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of.380.If found guilty of the second offense,she faces up to10years in prison and fines in excess of$2,000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned. 36.Who is the author of the passage?A.A passenger.B A policeman.C.A judge.D.A journalist.37.Why couldn't the woman stand and walk?A.She had lost too much blood.B.She was scared.C She drank too much.D.She had a sudden stomachache.38.Why could the woman be Imprisoned for10years?A.She was caught DUI twice.B.She had her car crashed.C.She refused to take a blood test.D.She drove without a driving license.39.What does the word"nabbed"in the title mean?A.Arrested.B.Attacked.C.Charged.D.Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world,butthe two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman.Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike.But that is not the case.In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people.The Romans were semi-democratic.They had a governing Senate,but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders.But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic.Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples,columns,and decorative forms.The Romans,on the other hand,were more engineers than artists.They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes,and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar.Both peoples ate very well indeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved lifein their warm,sea-oriented climates,and they both lived a full life.40.What is the first paragraph about?A.The Greek and the Roman were similar.B People misunderstood European civilization.C.Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D.European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Romans had more political awareness.B.The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C.The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D.The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42.What were the Greeks famous for?A.The overall planning of a city or a town.B.The artistic decoration of the buildings.C.The practical functions of the buildings.D.The system of water supply and transportation.3.How are the two cultures alike?A.Both loved the sea.B.Both lived long lives.C.Both loved cooking.D Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a thing to be credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant diner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards otter two major services to Americans.First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediatepleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between5and10percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A.They consider it valuable.B.They regard it as a shame.C.They think it dangerous.D.They find it quite convenient.45.Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A.To prevent the overuse of the car.B.To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C.To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D.To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned46.What advantage can credit card holders have?A.They can choose not to pay for their purchasesB.They can easily borrow money at a lower interestC.They can own something before they actually pay for it.D.They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47.What is the best tittle for the passage?A.Credit--a Way of Life in AmericaB.Credit Services in America.C.Convenience of Living in AmericaD.History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the1893Columbian Exposition,a World Fair held in Chicago, chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed.It caught the eye of M.S.Hershey,who saw the potential for chocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his first chocolate bars in1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U.S.Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide20to40pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases.The blocks were cut into smaller pieces and distributed to American soldiers in Europe.Eventually the task of making smaller pieces wasturned back to the manufacturers.By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home,the American candy bar business was assured.Why?Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same.As a result.from that time on and through the1920’s,candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States,and as many as 40,000different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston,and New York.The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar,corn syrup,and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48.Why did M.S.Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A.He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B.He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popular.C.There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D.He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair.49.Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A.The adding of new materialsB.The demand in the army during WWIC The purchase of new machinesD.The appearance of smaller candy bars50.What does the underlined word"seat"in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.FocusB.PositionC.ChairD.Center51.What is this passage mainly about?A.A World Fair held in Chicago in1893.B.The popularity of the American candy bar industry.C.The candy bar industry during World War I.D.The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Twain passed away in 1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature.But now,100 years after his death,he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography.Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb:it was his wish that publishers wait until100years after his death to publish his memoirs(自传),which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than5,000pages,and likely won't be all sunshine and roses.It seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends.He also writes negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt.It,s likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published,the autobiography has never been available in full,and should provide great insights into the man behind he classic books.The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published by the University of California, Berkeley.There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography,editor Robert Hirst told The Independent."But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote.By publishing wain's book in full,we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sortof a man he was.”52.According to Paragraph1,which of the following statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?A.He left behind lots of money.B.His works were written for children.C.His works are full of adventures.D.He is famous for his great works.53.What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?A.It has been published against Twain's will.B.It shows Twain's respect for politicians.C.It will be published in full.D.It has been recently finished.54.What does the underlined word"trilogy"in Paragraph4 mean?A.A work in three volumes.B An imaginative work.C.A collection of stories.D.Memoirs of famous people.55.What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?A.To supplement other biographies.B.To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C.To introduce Mark Twain's works.D.To expose new discoveries about Mark Twain.V.Daily Conversation(15points) Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue byblackening the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet.A.When shall we set offB.What is the timeC.have a wonderful timeD.start packingE.be great funF.What could I getG.What should I takeH.where toMary:How do you like the idea of having a picnic this Saturday?

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, Cand D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneDebate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lasting rewards,especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate is presenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication. Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how to give their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. "Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else' s opinion orargument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr.Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind.

You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, oftenin group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are loyalB. they are braveC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??A. Courageous.B. Cowardly.C. Energetic.D. Slow.42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Sharp hearing.B. Swift movement.C. Extraordinary smelling.D. A strong memory.43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.C. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeEating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a newstudy that investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?A. 149.B. 7,646.C. 753.D. 8,399.45. What is the conclusion of the study?A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.B. An apple a day does keep the doctor away.C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.D. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.46. What can we learn from the passage?A. Apples are better than oranges.B. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.C. Apples can help cure certain diseases.D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A. Objective.B. Creative.C.subjectiveD.persuasivePassage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancementrather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?A. Because he doesn' t know what to do once schools are closed.B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D. Because he is not in favor of the government' s reform efforts.49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt?A. New standards and tests in schools.B. Positive social relationships.C. Strict teacher and student evaluations.D. Assistance of the government.50. What is meant by trust in school?A. Freedom to express one' s views,B. Extra effort teachers put into their work.C. Independence of the teachers in schools.D. Unconscious and unspoken expectations.51. What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?A. They should be trusted.B. They are often bold.C. They are often incorrect.D. They should be encouraged.Passage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author Dan Buettner" s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places--is:" Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusi- astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middleof the Aegean, you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day--either rosemary, wild sage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties,which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low dementia (痴呆) rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.52. What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. People who have secret lifestyles.B. People who enjoy physical exercise.C. People who are one hundred years old or older.D. People who carry the gene for being slim.53. According to Paragraph 3 ,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A. In the morning.B. Any time of a day.C. In the early evening.D. In the afternoon.54. What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A. T o improve metabolism.B. To lower blood pressure.C. T o lower life stress.D. T o improve social relationships.55. What might be the best title of the passage?A. T ea-Drinking TipsB. Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC. T ea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by four questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAt first glance, there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome, but back in the 5th century, it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Westem Roman Empire. In this city. Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna’s eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. “in the past, many people couldn’t read or write.”says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. “Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people.”Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces.Travel TipsWhen to Go:June—October;weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with shool groups.Where to Stay: Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron.How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city.Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a former movie theater, two-story Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco.What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers.What to Read Before you Go: Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis(2010), provides a wide-ranging look at the city‘s art, architecture, and history.( )36. In ancient times, mosaics were used to .A. display artistic achievementsB. compete with Roman paintingsC. explain religion and politicsD. teach reading and writing( )37. Lots of schoolchildren visit historic sites such as Ravenna in .A. MayB. JuneC. SeptemberD. October( )38. If you want to try fresh seafood, you should go to .A. Emilia RomagnaB. Hotel Centrale ByronC. Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD. Osteria L‘Accigua and Da Buco( )39. Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?A. Because it was written by a famous writer.B. Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C. Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D. Because it provides useful information about the city‘s weather.Passage TwoWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags(摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness; if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight; and if his tail is tucked (塞)behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight.Unlike dogs, cats‘ tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out(甩动)his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other,dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs‘ .( )40. What does it mean when a dog‘s tail is straight?A. It has a lot to say to you.B. It wants to stop fighting.C. It is going to fight.D. It likes to be patted.( )41. A cat tries to appear big when it is .A. facing a dangerB. unhappyC. ready to huntD. hungry( )42. Which of the following does the author intend to say?A. Dogs and cats are not good friendsB. Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C. Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D. Dogs use tail language more than cats.( )43. In the last paragraph, the underlined word ―predators‖ refers to .A. animals that follow and obey other animalsB. animals that kill and eat other animalsC. animals that live in the wildD. animals kept by peoplePassage ThreeLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year olk, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan, 47, the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story- the younger sibling(姊妹篇)of One Story magazine-will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It’s really the only magazine for young aduit short fiction,”he says from his office in New York. “It’s tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it’s forced upon them in schools.”Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn’t carry photographs or advertising. It’s just exactly what it says:one story perissue.Ryan says young people are―looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It‘s not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always start on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ‗Twilight‘ characters and the ‗Harry Potter‘ characters, they feel very contemporary.‖Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. ― I would love th make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody –would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this.‖( )44. Who is Patrick Ryan?A. He is the editor-in-chief of Granta.B. He is the editor-in-chief of One Story.C. He is the editor-in-chief of ―Twilight‖.D. He is the editor-in-chief of One Teen Story( )45. What is One Teen Story?A. It is a story magazine for teenagers.B. It is a London-based literary journal.C. It is a column of a newspaper.D. It is a magazine of science fiction( )46. According to Ryan, what attracts young rcaders most?A. Photographs and illustration.B. Chances and practices in business.C. Characters and stories close to their life.D. Political teachings and moral messages.( )47. In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “this business” means .A. reading stories.B. writing storiesC. editing magazinesD. making moneyPassage FourCouples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We‘re now up to nearly 3.7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3.3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child.Financial worries aren‘t the only driver. The trend towards later motherbood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring casts of raising a child, which have been calculated as $222,500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years.The increasing availability of IVF(试管婴儿)is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child.It may not be a bad thing; there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and AI Pacino, golfer. Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showed that the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection-which sometimes descends into physical fights-is mor stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it‘s not compensated(弥补)by having a playmate.( )48. The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to .A. financial problemsB. technical problemsC. health problemsD. cultural problems( )49. The passage shows that IVF is .A. safer than natural pregnancyB. very popular in UKC. very expensiveD. a risky investment( )50. What is a proved advantage of one-child family?A. Improved family lifeB. Higher number of sports stars.C. Efficient family education.D. Promotion of children’s success.( )51. The findings of the institute at the University of Essex might mean that .A. the only children‘s lack of playmates causes problemsB. the only children are much happier than othersC. parents-children relationship is off balanceD. children have to struggle for parental lovePassage FiveAbout 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期). That means they have blood sugar that‘s higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2-at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11% of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probably become type 2 in 10 years or less.Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabeles who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels.If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis.Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200. Dropping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%.Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking,playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works,too.Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check.Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-disbetes; 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes; and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucosc tolerance and AIC, also are used to monitor blood sugar.( )52.What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Para graph 1?A. Pre-diabetes will surely become type 2 diabetes.B. Pre-diabetes is likely to become diabetes within years.C. Enough attention should be paid to the treatment of type 2.D. Pre- diabetes is ranked No. 1 danger threatening Americans‘health.( )53. To prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis, people with pre-diabetes should pay most attention to .A. glucose levelsB. exercisesC. heart diseaseD. stroke( )54. Which of the following suggests that you have pre-diabetes?A. 70 mg/dl.B. 90 mg/dl.C. 110 mg/dl.D.130 mg/dl.( )55. What column of a newspaper is most likely to have this article?A. Technology.B. Entertainment.C. Education.D. Health.Ⅴ.Daily Conversation (15 points)Directions:Pick out five appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Father: How’s your day at school, Costa?Costa: 56 , Daddy! It’s a day I will never forget.Father: Oh, it is? 57 ,my son?Costa: I have been made the chairman of the Strdents’Association.Father: That’s great. 58 !Costa: 59 .Father: That’s really nice. You stood first in the examination and now you have won the chairmanship. 60 . my son.Costa: Thank you ,Daddy.Ⅵ. Writing(25 points)Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write a composition of about 100—120 words based on the following situation.Remember to write it clearly.61.你(Li Yuan ) 的班级即将组织一次郊游(picnic),请你给你的外籍(Steve)写封信,内容包括:·邀请他参加此项活动;·介绍活动的具体安排和内容(如时间、地点等);·告知需要做的准备(如着装、自备午餐等);·希望他参加并尽快给予答复。

Each passage is followed by four questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWoman nabbed for a DUI at same crash spotWed May21,2:17AM ETTRUCKEE,Calif.Call it drunken driving deja vu(记忆幻觉).For the second time in five months,a23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she crashed her car while driving under the influence(DUI)at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.And to top it off,Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at about noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge.They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking.Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at346.The legal limit.08.Sergeant J.Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of380.If found guilty of the second offense,she faces up to10years in prison and fines in excess of2.000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned.36.Who is the author of the passage?A.A passenger.B.A policeman.C.A judge.D.A journalist.37.Why couldn't the woman stand and walk?A.She had lost too much blood.B.She was scared.C.She drank too much.D.She had a sudden stomachache.38.Why could the woman be imprisoned for10years?A.She was caught DUI twice.B.She had her car crashed.C.She refused to take a blood test.D.She drove without driving license.s39.What does the word"nabbed"in the title mean?A.Arrested.B.Attacked.C.Charged.D.Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman.Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike.But that is not the case.In many waysthe Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different. The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people.The Romans were semi-democratic.They had a governing Senate,but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders.But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic.Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns,and decorative forms.The Romans,on the other hand, were more engineers than artists.They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes,and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar.Both peoples ate very well indeed:lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines. In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both liveda full life.40.What is the first paragraph about?A.The Greek and the Roman were similar.B.People misunderstood European civilization.C.Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D.European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Romans had more political awareness.B.The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C.The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D.The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42.What were the Greeks famous for?A.The overall planning of a city or a town.B.The artistic decoration of the buildings.C.The practical functions of the buildings.aD.The system of water supply and transportation.43.How are the two cultures alike?A.Both loved the sea.B.Both lived long lives.C.Both loved cookingD.Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a way of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between5and10percent of what they owe.44.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A.They consider it valuable.B.They regard it as a shame.C.They think it dangerous.D.They find it quite convenient.45.Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A.To prevent the overuse of the car.B.To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C.To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D.To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46.What advantage can credit card holders have?A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B.They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C.They can own something before they actually pay for it.D.They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47.What is the best title for the passage?A.Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB.Credit Services in AmericaC.Convenience of Living in AmericaD.History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the1893Columbian Exposition,a World Fair held in Chicago,chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed.It caught the eye of M.S.Hershey,who saw the potential for chocolate.He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster,and produced his first chocolate bars in1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to makeup new candy bars throughout the end of the1890's and the early 1900's.But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U.S.Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide20to40pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases.The blocks were cut into smaller distributed to American soldiers in Europe.Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers.By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home,the American candy bar business was assured.Why?Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same.As a result from that time on and through the1920's,candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States,and as many as40,000different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia,Boston,and New York.The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar,corn syrup,and milk were easily available.Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48.Why did M.S.Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A.He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B.He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popularC.There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D.He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair49.Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A.The adding of new materials.B.The demand in the army during WWI.C.The purchase of new machinesD.The appearance of smaller candy bars.50.What does the underlined word"seat"in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Focus.B.Position.C.Chair.D.Center51.What is this passage mainly about?A.World Fair held in Chicago in1893.B.The popularity of the American candy bar industry.oC.The candy bar industry during World War.D.The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Twain passed away in1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature.But now,100years after his death,he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography. Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb it was his wish that publishers wait until100years after his death to publish his memoirs)which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than5,000pages,and likely won't be all sunshine and roses.It seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends.He also writes negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt.It's likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published the autobiography has never been available in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic books.The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published by the University of California,Berkeley."There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography",editor Robert Hirst told The Independent."But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote.By publishing Twain's book in full we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52.According to Paragraph1,which of the statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?A.He left behind lots of money.B.His works were written for children.C.His works are full of adventures.D.He is famous for his great works.53.What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?A.It has been published against Twain's will.B.It shows Twain's respect for politicians.C.It will be published in full.D.It has been recently finished.54.What does the underlined word"trilogy"in Paragraph4mean?A.work in three volumes.B.An imaginative work.C.collection of stories.D.Memoirs of famous people.55.What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?A.To supplement other biographies.B.To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C.To introduce Mark Twain's works.D.To expose new discoveries about Mark TwainV.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.When shall we set offB.What is the timeC.have a wonderful timeD.start packingE.be great funF.What could I getG.What should I takeH.where toMary:How do you like the idea of having a picnic this Saturday?
