A giant set of Olympic rings, made up of 20,000 flowers, were unveiled at Kew Gardens in west London. And the motto for the London Olympics has been announced as “Inspire a generation.”London 2012 chairman Seb Coe announced the motto. He said: “It is everything that we have been saying since we started this extraordinary journey.” Coe added that the motto is also a call for athletes to come to the U.K. to perform at their very best and inspire the world.The preparations for the Games are proceeding according to plan—being both on time and within budget, according to London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton. Deighton said that millions of people around the U.K. are getting ready to celebrate the biggest event in sport. “Eight million of the 11 million tickets have been sold to people in Britain and we are sure that Brits will get hold of a chunk of the other three million too.”Many of the test events have already been held at the Olympic venues. And a bigger one will come on the first weekend of May in the Olympic Park.Coe has been mentioned by the British media and British bookmakers as among the contenders to light the flame, although his position as organizing committee leader always made that seem unlikely. Five-time rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave remains the betting favorite.56. Who is most likely to be chosen to light the flame at the opening ceremony?A. Steve RedgraveB. DeightonC. Seb CoeD. Denis Oswald57. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?.A. The preparations for the London Games are quite smooth.B. Eight million of the 11 million tickets have been sold to people in the world.C. Many test events was for the first time held on the first weekend of May.D. Olympic Games are held from July 27 to August12 every four years.58. What’s the best title of the passage?A. New motto, new Olympics.B. London ready for Olympics.C. Tickets on sale for London Olympics.D. Olympics 100 days away.BDu Fu, the famous Tang Dynasty poet, is getting the business these days. In response to the 1,300th anniversary of the poet’s birth, the meme, “Du Fu is busy,”is spreading through the Internet and turning the iconic(偶像的) poet into a figure of fun.A meme is a cultural phenomenon. It’s an idea or image that somehow strikes a chord with Internet users and prompts them to comment on it, change it, or use it in different situations. In Du’s case, the meme is a picture of the poet taken from a textbook. The picture shows a very serious Du sitting on a rock, clothed in loose robes. His chin is pointed resolutely upward and his eyes gaze calmly into the distance. It is a picture of a man with a great mind and a heroic spirit.That image is changed in the meme. Du Fu is now seen holding a gun or listening to an iPod or dressed as a Japanese cartoon character. In today’s world, it seems fewer people respect great minds or heroic spirits.This is sad because it means we are losing our sense of idealism. Du Fu led a life of poverty and humiliation. I visited his thatched cottage in Chengdu and imagined the hardship he endured: the loneliness, the cold, and the hunger. Yet, hardship didn’t kill his spirit, and his great poetry reflects his inner strength.Internet users may find that giving Du Fu the business is entertaining, but it cannot diminish his greatness. And that enduring image of greatness is the one that truly matters.59. which expression can be used to replace the underlined part in Para. 1?A. getting along very well with his businessB. getting busy in doing his businessC. becoming a successful businessmanD. being made to look foolish60. Which of the following pictures is mentioned in the passage?A. B. C. D.61. What’s the author’s attitude towards the meme, “Du Fu is busy”?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Neutral.62. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Meme is more and more popular.B. Du Fu is no longer a famous poet.C. Du Fu is getting the business.D. Du Fu has become a new hero.CPineapple Awards Celebrate Fruits of ScienceWe live in a world of wonder but not in a world of magic. And understanding that world does not mean learning a few tricks at Hogwarts. Instead, it means understanding how important science is in our daily lives.Just take a moment and look around your home. The electric lamp on your desk, the silicon microchip in your mobile phone, your mother’s laundry detergent; they are all the results of science.To get people more aware of these wonders that surround us, , a science website, and Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Museum have established the “Pineapple Science Awards.”The awards are to be given annually and recognize recent achievements in chemistry, physics, medicine and biology, mathematics and psychology. There are also two special awards for discoveries that are imaginative, fun and thought-provoking.Zhou Xinyue’s research certainly met those criteria. The Sun Yat-Sen University professor was among the first group of Pineapple winners. She conducted an experiment that showed that counting money can ease pain. Professor Zhou had people count money and then dipped their hands into hot water. It turns out that after flipping through a brick of RMB, people can keep their hands in hot water for a longer time. I suppose this proves that although money can’t buy you happiness, it can certainly make your life less painful.If that sounds a bit frivolous, it’s all in keeping with the spirit of the awards. They are intended to be light-hearted. That is why the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbol. Ji Shisan, the founder of , said, “This nutritive fruit has a bright color and pleasing taste while shaped in a strange way, which indicates the awards are pleasing, interesting, nourishing, and a bit strange.”Pineapple winner Zhou Xinyue added, “Some research topics seem to be weird but actually have deep meaning, which inspires us in a different way. The topics might be funny, but the research method should be serious and scientific.”Are you interested in science? Then reach for the sky. You might end up with a pineapple in your hands.63. The awards recognize achievements in following fields EXCEPT________.A. chemistryB. biologyC. psychologyD. art64. The examples in Para. 2 are to ________.A. show how important science is in our daily livesB. prove learning a few tricks at Hogwarts is necessary in our daily livesC. get people more aware of these wonders that surround usD. indicate that some research topics seem to be weird and have little meaning65. From Para. 5 we can know ________.A. whether the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbolB. how the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbolC. why the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbolD. why the pineapple looks so strange66. According to Zhou Xinyue, ________.A. if you reach for the sky you might end up with a pineapple in your handsB. the topics sounding funny doesn’t mean the research method isn’t serious or scientificC. although the pineapple looks strange, it has a bright color and pleasing tasteD. counting money can ease pain and money can buy you happinessDAt the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants' impact on the economy and thereality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the strain that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what's going on, consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers – meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal (财政的)burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants' access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect(净效应) of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected – say, low-skilled workers, or California residents –the impact isn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up beinga net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.67. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Whether immigrants are good or bad for the economy has been puzzling economists.B. The American economy used to thrive on immigration but now it's a different story.C. The consensus among economists is that immigration should not be encouraged.D. The general public thinks differently from most economists on the impact of immigration.68. In what way does the author think ordinary Americans benefit from immigration?A. They can access all kinds of public services.B. They can get consumer goods at lower prices.C. They can mix with people of different cultures.D. They can avoid doing much of the manual labor.69. Which of the following words has the closest meani ng to “curb” in paragraph four?A.strengthen B. deny C. encourage D. limit70. What is the irony about the debate over immigration?A. People care too much about something of small impact.B. Those who are opposed to it turn out to benefit most from it.C. Even economists can't reach a consensus about its impact.D. There is no essential difference between seemingly opposite opinions.任务型阅读（每空格1个单词）“HEARTLESS”—it’s not usually a word you would want to use to describe a person. But having his heart removed was what saved Craig Lewis’ lif e—and what made him the first living “heartless” man.The 55-year-old had been dying of heart disease. He was told that he only had 12 hours to live. That was when Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier, two doctors from the Texas Heart Institute, US, decided to try something new. They removed Lewis heart and replaced it with an artificial (人造的) one. Less than a week after the operation, Lewis was able to sit up in bed and speak to his family, according to Reuters.Lewis kept on living like a normal person, with only one difference—he didn’t have a heartbeat. The human heart usually pumps blood through our bodies by beating regularly. By contrast, this artificial heart pushes the blood forward with two moving blades(桨叶). If you were to touch Lewis or listen to his chest, you would not feel a heartbeat. If you hooked him up to an EKG(心电图) machine, the line would be flat.Scientists have been trying to create a working artificial heart for years. Many people suffer from serious heart disease and cannot get transplants. Until now, all artificial hearts either broke down or caused blocks and infections.But after five years of hard work, Dr Cohn and Dr Frazier developed this artificial heart. It is smaller and quieter than other artificial hearts and can last much longer. They tested it on 38 calves (牛犊) and all of them turned out energetic and healthy. Lewis is the first human proof that the machine is a success.The doctors will have to work more on the device and decide on a final design before it can be widely used. The US Food and Drug Administration will also need to say that the machine is◆Yet this artificial heart looks likely to bring the opportunityof (80) ▲to thousands of patients.开放作文In your spoken English class, your teacher shows you the following picture.

However, when we examine the picture more closely, we can see that the white bird is singing beautifully, with perfect musical notes coming out of its mouth, in contrast, the black bird can only make unpleasant / noisy sounds.I think this picture conveys the message —be your personal best / be the best of yourself. Beautifully as the white bird can sing, it is still singing to perfect itself. Unpleasant as others may think the black bird’s voice is, the black bird is singing to improve itself. Indeed, there are so many people around us, like the white bird, who are blessed with talents and can excel in whatever they want to do. On the other hand, there are also people, like the black bird, who are unfortunate. Whatever they do, their results are just the average. In my opinion, if we cannot change our birth, why bother? Just be our best selves. If we are born clever, be outstanding. If we are born average, try to be better. Just enjoy the life as it can be.立意2：认识自己不足，虚心学习，不怕丢脸，努力提高In the picture, we can see there are two birds that are singing high up in the tree. Obviously, both of them are vigorous and devoted in their songs. However, the only difference is the melody coming out of the white bird’s beak is intoxicating(醉人的). On the contrary, the black bird’s cacophony(刺耳的音调) destroys the whole atmosphere.I bet the poor black bird himself knows how annoying his voice is. But why is he still standing there singing with an expert? In my opinion, that is courage and persistence of pursuing the best. Poor singer as he is, he didn’t give up his passion of singing. Humiliating himself in front of the “Pavarotti”, he is actually learning from the white bird which is his teacher in his mind. All of us might respect the little black creature’s spirit from this point, but in our real life how m any of us can actually do what he does? How many times did we give up chasing our dreams just because others are better than us? How many times did we escape from embarrassment when we knew others might laugh at our incompetence? Every single one of us is afraid of losing face in front of others as long as we are human beings. But if we are eager to excel at what we do, we might as well lose it and humbly learn from the best. Because only in this way, can we truly improve ourselves and one day in the future sing aloud songs as enchanting as the white birds’ euphony.立意3：认识到世界的多元，要互相包容。
