Reading ComprehensionDirections：Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Have a vacation under a volcano (火山) ! Are our heroes crazy? The main characters, Jack and Annie, don't think so. They travel through time and space to a land in a far-away place called Pompeii, a famous city in the ancient Roman Empire.Unfortunately, it's the very day the town is destroyed by a mighty volcanic eruption (爆发). Jack and Annie risk their lives saving books from a library. They run inside a house and find tons of papers and books, but they do not know which ones they need. Then they feel the tremble. Will they be covered with burning ashy Can they get home safely?“Vacation under the Volcano”is from the “Magic Tree House”series, which takesalso speaks to people, saying things like, "How do we create a new Earth?' "Look carefully!" and "There's a problem!' The mark is used in combination with the abbreviated name logo of the 2005 world Exposition in Aichi, Japan.The official mascots (吉祥物) are“Kiccoro ( Forest Child ) and Morizo ( Forest Grandfather)”. The Forest Child has just been born. Jumping around everywhere, he or she is full of energy! The Forest Child wants to see and do everything! He or She is looking forward to making lots of friends at the EXPO.The Forest Grandfather has been living in the forest for many ages. He's an easygoing and kind old man, he has seen many things and knows everything, but he hasn't lost his curiosity. Hearing about the EXPO, he is enthusiastic about lending a hand.( ) 69.

Morizo is________.A. Forest ChildB. well-informedC. curious and youngD. easy to go anywhere(C)Imagine a typical public high school in Canada (usually one to two floors, much smaller than a Chinese school). There are lockers on both sides of the corridor and students are walking around between classes. Since it is a public school, students do not need to wear uniforms. You can find the most bewildering (令人眼花的) range of fashions here: boys wearing basketball or ice hockey sportswear with loose pants; girls wearing tank tops (under any weather conditions) and any kind of trousers you can thinkof; liberal (恣意的)use of makeup and perfume (cologne for boys) ; hairstyles of any color, shape and form imaginable.What about accessories (饰物) to clothes? Ear rings, nose rings, piercing of the tongue or some other parts of the body, necklaces of various length and materials (silver or gold) for both boys and girls, and (somewhat rarer) tattoos.The school's official policy discourages revealing (暴露的) clothes and extravagant (夸张的)hairstyles or makeup. However, mostly, the students are left alone.Don't be alarmed! I just used the most extreme examples to show the diversity (多样性) of fashion among Canadian young people. Most people dress exactly as you would. While many (especially young adults and the impressionable) follow fashion trends closely, many choose to wear what they want, with little interference (干预) from anyone.() 73. Which statement is NOT true?A. Students are not required to wear uniforms in Canada.B. It's not unusual to see female students wearing makeup in schools.C. Canadian schools don't have any restriction on what students wear.D. Canadian young people enjoy various fashion trends.( ) 74.

In the 4th paragraph, the word "impressionable" can be replaced by _________.A. making a strong impressionB. easily influencedC. being an impressionistD. fashionable(D)This lesson can take anything from half an hour to an hour and a half.Divide your class in half, half are doctors, half are patients.Put the patients in an area of the class which becomes the waiting room. The patients should either come up with their own symptoms, or you can give them a few ideas — the one who wakes up in the morning feeling sick, the one who can't sleep or the one who's putting on a lot of weight or the one who's losing weight — you can have any kind of ailment you want and the idea is that every patient should visit every doctor and getadvice from that doctor.Be careful to set a time limit for each consultation with the doctors. Once thepatients have visited each doctor — they may want to make notes of the advice given — they return to the waiting area and decide who was the best doctor, and perhaps who was the craziest! Meanwhile, the doctors all get together, because they are at a medicalconference, and they have to compare the advice they'd given — and perhaps decide who was the craziest patient!This activity can be used for both vocabulary and structures — you can use it for reported speech “he said ... he told me ...”, you can use it for practising modals like"should" or "must" , or for practising verb patterns such as “he suggested I should . . .” or "he insisted on my doing ... ", "he told me to do ... "( ) 76. Which of the following skills is NOT involved in the activity?A. Listening.B.Speaking. C. Reading. D. Writing.( ) 77. The underlined word "ailment" is closest in meaning to_________.A. reasonB. illnessC. adviceD. question( ) 78. The activity is fun NOT because_________.A. there is lots of speaking and listening practiceB. the students can play tricks on each otherC. the students use their imaginations and senses of humorD. the students are encouraged to recall their life experience( ) 79. One problem with this activity may be that_________.A. some students might not have a part to play80. _________What is the driving force in pop culture? The name "MTV may pop up in the minds of many of you. MTV ( Music Television) is the oldest and most influential American cable network specializing in music-related programming. It was launched (开播) on August 1, 1981. Up to now, MTV has launched services in many areas round the world, including Asia in 1991.81. _________Music videos are common today. However, they seemed so novel (新颖的) in the early 1980s that the music video was often referred to as a new art form. A music video is a brief television segment or portion, usually shot on film but intended to be shown only on TV. The foundation of a video is the soundtrack, which is a recorded song. The sale of the song is promoted (促进) by the video. In the very beginning, MTV presented one music video after another in a constant 'flow". It was very different from the unconnected individual programs found on other television networks. Originally all the music videos were provided free by record companies, because the companies considered the videos as advertising for their records and performers.82.__________Fresh-faced young men and women were hired by MTV to host the show's programming, and to introduce videos that were being played. The term VJ (video jockey) was then coined, a play on the term DJ (disc jockey). Many of the VJs eventually became celebrities (名人) in their own right. Today we have VJ Li Xia in China.83. __________A large number of rock stars of the 1980s and 1990s were made into household names by MTV. For example, Michael Jackson launched the second wave of his career when MTV heavily featured his videos from his album Thriller, in particular "Billie Jean'1 and "Thriller". Madonna rose to fame on MTV in the 1980s, and she is still heavily dependent on the network to promote her music.84. __________MTV combines music videos, youthful VJs, frank commentary(评论)，promotion of special rock concerts, and news and documentaries（纪录片）about bands and performers. In this way, the network has made major changes to entertainment industries and established great popularity with young viewers.第II卷I .

Joel is a fisherman, and he was going on a short fishing trip. “I’ll see you in a week,” he said. But Joel didn’t see his wife in a week. He didn’t see his wife for a long, long time.Joel left his house and went to the harbor in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. He got on a fishing boat. Four other fishermen were on the boat, too. The boat left the harbor and the men began to fish.The first few hours on the ocean were not unusual. Then there was a terrible storm. The storm lasted for 22 days. When the storm finally stopped, the men checked their boat. Their fishing nets were gone. The engine and the radio didn’t work. There was no food, and there was no fresh water.For the next few hours, the men talked and planned. “How can we survive on the ocean?” they asked oneanother. Without their nets, the men couldn’t fish. But they could reach out of the boat and catch big turtles. The men didn’t want to eat raw turtle meat, so they needed a fire for cooking. They tore down the boat’s wood cabin and made a fire with the wood.They needed protection from the sun and rain, so they built a simple roof. The roof held rainwater, too. The men could drink rainwater from the roof.For the next five months the men ate turtles---when they caught them. They drank rainwater---when it rained. Often there was no food and no water, and the men were hungry and thirsty. Sometimes they thought, “We are going to die soon.”Joel wrote a letter to his wife. “My dear Edith,” Joel wrote. “If I die, I hope someone will send you this letter. Then you will know how I died. I had the best in life---a great woman and beautiful children. I love you, Edith. I love you.”In June it didn’t rain for a long time, and the men ran out of water. They were thin and weak, and they thought, “We are going to die now.” They put on their best clothes, lay down, and closed their eyes. After a while it began to rain. The men stood up and licked the water from the roof. Then all five men began to cry. Ten days later, on June 15, a Japanese fishing boat found the men. They were 4,000 miles from Costa Rica.Nobody sent Joel’s letter to his wife. He showed it to his wife himself. Joel will always keep the letter. The letter, he says, helps him remember. “On the ocean I realized that I love my wife and children very, very much. My family is everything to me. I don’t want to forget that.”(91-95 on the answer sheet.)C. Advanced Test. (20 Points)Part 1. In your opinion, what do you think of the following questions? Write down your answer.96.

For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achie\・ed greater managerial success than those who had technical traiimig or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leadmg feature of the kmd of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success m their long-term con^aiiy jobs, but tliey are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry・level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that die most souglit-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important' by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been ofiered a wide variety of positions.Fmally, althougli some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their teclmically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they doit regret tlieir choice of study.pared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _______ .A.are ready to change when situations changeB.are better able to deal with difficultiesC.are equally good at computer skillsD.are likely to give others pressure71.According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A.

But tliougli the extra zs may impiove your mood, they do not appear to improve your health. Because a new study shows that so-called 'recovery sleep' cannot reset the bodys* metabolic（新陈代谢的）clock., and may actually lead to some serious health issues.73 ________ It can increase our risk for cardiovascular disease, it can cause weight gam, itcan decrease insulin sensitivity, so it can increase our risk of diabetes/ says Christopher Depner, an assistant professor in die department of integrative （综合的）physiology at the University of Colorado,B oulder.A lot of us shut off the alann on Saturday and Sunday 74 _______________ 'So we were really mterested in how the sort of cycle of benveen insufficient sleep, weekend recovery sleep, insufficient sleep, can intact your risk of obesity and metabolic disease, says Depner. He and his colleagues invited volunteers to a nme-day snooze-a-tlion.One group was allowed to get a fiill niglit s sleep. The next was kept to just five hours each night. And the third group went back and fortli. restricted to five hours of shut-eye during die workweek, allowedas much sleep as they wanted o*ver the weekend, and then back to five hours for the last couple days.The study shows that when we maintain insufficient short sleep schedules durmg a typical work or school week, we find that this leads people to eat more tliaii they need and this leads to weight gain. 75 _________________________ And tliis altogether also leads to a reduced ability to regulate ourblood sugar levels, says Ken Wright, professor of integrative physiology at University of Colorado Boulder. But even more surprising, sleeping in on the weekend doesnt help-and even makes tlimgs worse.*We found that after the weekend, when they went back to getting insufficient sleep durmg die work or school week, we found that their liveT and their muscle insulin sensitivity or blood sugar regulation was reduced. And this is not sometliing we had found m people who mamtained chronic insufficient sleep schedules/says WriglitSo it's possible that this is a worsening of the body's ability to regulate blood sugar for those specific tissues after the weekend. 76 ____________________ And trade the sweets for sweet dreams.r\： Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage・ Su/mnanze the main idea and the main points of the passage no more than 60 words ・ Use your ow?i words as far as possible ・Witli the average number of children in a British family falling under an verage of 2.0, compared witli the traditional 2.4 children, the population of the UK has been follmg for quite a few years.Why aren't British people hating as many children as they used to? Well, there are many reasons. One of them is tliat British people are now having their children at a much older age tliaii previously, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have children. Most young people today want a well-paid job, so tliey often go to university after high school after years of study at university, they then need a few years of work experience before they can get the job tliey want. So it's not imtil they are about 30 years old that they can start to think about settling down and having children.Another reason is that it is relatively expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Usually both parents need to work to pay for their home and living expenses. Tliey need to pay someone to look after tlieir child durmg the day, which is expensive.In addition, problems in the global economy often affect British families. For example, when times are tough and there is an economic downturn, it becomes difficult to find a job or keep the existing one. This kind of uncertainty discourages people &om having larger families.So what is Britaui domg to try and save British families? First of all. the government is trying to make it cheaper to ha\・e cliildreii. For example, there ha\・e been mcreases ill money families can gam from the state each montli. Also, there is an mcreasmg amoirnt of money for nursery schools, so that parents don't need to pay so much for childcare. In addition, there are now laws allowing parents to take more time off work so that they can look after their children themselves rather than having to pay others to do it.V TranslationDii ections: Translate die following sentences mto English, using the words given in die brackets.1.前天，许多物理学家出席了颁奖典礼。

Paper Structure and Difficulty Level:The examination papers were well-structured, with clear instructions and a balanced distribution of questions across different topics. The difficulty level of the questions was appropriate for the mid-term examination, catering to the knowledge and skills acquired by studentsin the first half of the semester.1.1 Strengths:- Clear instructions: The papers provided clear and concise instructions, ensuring that students understood the requirements and expectations.- Balanced distribution: The questions were evenly distributed across different topics, allowing students to demonstrate their understandingof the entire curriculum.1.2 Weaknesses:- Lack of challenging questions: While the majority of questions were at an appropriate level, there was a scarcity of challenging questions that could assess students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills.- Overemphasis on factual knowledge: The examination focused more on factual knowledge rather than the application of concepts in practical scenarios.2. Question Format and Content:The question format varied, including multiple-choice, short answer, and essay questions. The content of the questions covered a wide range of topics, ensuring that students were tested on their overall understanding.2.1 Strengths:- Varied question format: The use of different question formats encouraged students to think critically and demonstrate their knowledge in various ways.- Comprehensive content: The questions covered a wide range of topics, ensuring that students were assessed on their overall understanding.2.2 Weaknesses:- Limited essay questions: There were fewer essay questions compared to other formats, which could have provided students with an opportunity to showcase their in-depth knowledge and critical thinking skills.- Subjectivity in marking: Some essay questions may have been subjectively marked, leading to discrepancies in grading.3. Marking Scheme and Feedback:The marking scheme was clear and provided a fair assessment of students' performance. However, there were some areas that required improvement in terms of feedback.3.1 Strengths:- Clear marking scheme: The marking scheme was well-defined, allowing teachers to evaluate students' responses accurately.- Consistency in marking: The marking was consistent across different papers, ensuring fairness in assessment.3.2 Weaknesses:- Limited feedback: The feedback provided to students was mostly focused on their overall performance rather than specific areas of improvement.- Delayed feedback: The feedback was provided after the examination, which could have been more beneficial if given during the examination or immediately afterward.4. Suggestions for Improvement:- Incorporate challenging questions: Include a few challenging questions that assess students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills.- Balance factual knowledge and application: Ensure that questions require students to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios.- Increase the number of essay questions: Allocate more space for essay questions to assess students' in-depth knowledge and critical thinking skills.- Provide timely and specific feedback: Offer immediate feedback during the examination or soon afterward, focusing on specific areas of improvement.- Use technology for feedback: Utilize digital platforms to provide timely and personalized feedback to students.Conclusion:The mid-term examination papers were well-structured and covered a wide range of topics. However, there are areas that require improvement, such as incorporating challenging questions, balancing factual knowledge and application, and providing timely and specific feedback. By addressing these issues, the examination process can be enhanced, providing a more comprehensive and effective assessment of students' understanding and progress.。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D）. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage oneQuestions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.I started keeping a gratitude journal several years ago, and, though I go through phases where I write more often or skip a few nights, I've found that I tend to drift to sleep more easily and happily after I've gotten myself into the 'warm and fuzzy' place that comes from counting my blessings. That's why I wasn't completely surprised when I ran across this research study about gratitude journaling: researchers have found that differences in gratitude levels actually affect sleep quality!Researchers assessed 186 men and 215 women (40% of which had clinically impaired sleep), and measured their level of gratitude, their quality of sleep, and five main personality traits (to see if differences in sleep quality could be tied to personality differences). (The five personality traits, which have been generally accepted as definitive to personality, are: openness to new experience, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and neuroticism.)Researchers found that gratitude predicted better self-reported sleep quality, as well as duration of sleep, and less 'sleep latency' (the amount of time it takes to fall asleep after the lights have gone out) and daytime dysfunction. The relationship between gratitude and each of these variables was mediated by the thoughts people had before falling asleep: more positive before-sleep thoughts and less negative ones. All of these results were found to be unrelated to personality traits, including neuroticism, (which one might expect to affect sleep quality and ability to fall asleep).This research is pretty big news for those who need better quality sleep, and those who need more of it (which, according to a sleep poll on this site, includes the vast majority of us)! We can use this information to help ourselves and our children in many areas of our lives, since sleep deprivation affects not only our stress levels, but our daytime functioning. (See this article on the importance of sleep.) Here are some things to try:Gratitude JournalingI recommend keeping a gratitude journal for general stress relief and overall happiness, but now that we know this practice can lead to better sleep, I consider it a must. See this article for tips on maintaining a gratitude journal, where you'll have a record of all that you have to appreciate in your life--great for reading when you're feeling blue.Gratitude With KidsIf you have children, and if you're not doing this already, it's a great idea to get in the habit of reviewing three things that you have to be grateful for before you tuck them in and turn out the light. This can be done in the form of a sharing conversation, a prayer, or a family gratitude journal that you keep together. You may find bedtime reluctance diminishing and daytime moods and productivity improved.47． What can we learn from“gotten myself into the'warm and fuzzy' place”？(Para.1 Line 3)A) I was completely surprised when I start to keep my gratitude journal.B) I was willing to make others to feel kindness and warmth after I was determinedto keep a gratitude journal.C) I was wrapped into a sense of puzzle and silliness after I kept my gratitude journal.D) I didn’t feel warm until I kept my gratitude journal.48．What is the purpose to conduct the research study about gratitude journaling?A) To see if the differences in gratitude levels actually affect sleep quality.B) To see if differences in sleep quality could have anything to do withpersonality differences.C) To see if sleep deprivation really affects our stress levels.D) To see if 'sleep latency' indeed affects daytime dysfunction.49．Gratitude has done all to sleep quality except _______?A) Increase duration of sleep.B) Decrease sleep latency.C) Improve daytime dysfunctionD) Maintain personality traits.50．I recommend keeping a gratitude journal for all the reasons except _______.A) Appetite for reading books.B) Relieve pressure.C) Add to joys.D) Contribute to sleep quality.51．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A) People often talk about the topic of gratitude.B) People often forget to express gratitude to the God.C) It is very easy to forget to do the everyday work of feeling gratitude.D) People like to pray with family members.Passage twoQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage."Most parents intuitively know that creativity is valuable, but they may not know an easy way to enhance this ability in their children," Blomberg says. "Science has now validated that reading aloud for only 30 minutesa day - and doing this with consistency - is one way to reach this goal."This simple method is based on leading scientists' solid work atwell-known research facilities. Magnetic resonance imaging machines can look into the brain and indicate where activity is taking place. Researchers have mapped the brain extensively, which enables them to pinpoint the center for creativity and imagination. Thus when activity centers in this place, new synapses突触are created in young brains.Synapses are the connections between brain cells. We have billions of these necessary connections in our brains. Young people need to form synapses and then use these connections repeatedly to strengthen them as they grow and mature. Reading aloud to children creates new synapses and reinforces old ones.Starting around age 11, some brain cells begin to die and disappear. Thisis a natural process necessary to prune削减myriad weak connections that youngsters have formed. It also institutes order in the young brain.It is important to make as many strong synapses as possible while humans are young. All unused cells do not fade away immediately - the process can take several years - but this mechanism is inevitable. Cells that are not connected by synapses or that are only weakly connected will disappear.Blomberg has zeroed in on these recommendations. He has written seven children's novels that are tailored to this concept, and he has read them aloud to hundreds of students in many classrooms. He has a specific idea of why the "read aloud" advice works. "I call it the 'Theater of the Mind,'" Blomberg says. "Every time I read a chapter I ask my listeners if they could see a picture in their mind about what I was reading. I've foundthat virtually everyone hearing the chapter creates a mental movie.""The kids really love Blomberg's books," says Jennifer Zarcone, a fifth grade teacher fromNorthport, New York. "They get so excited when it's time to read the story.I think that his books hold a world full of adventure, imagination and tons of laughter.""I write books that are tailored to this task," Blomberg says. "All my books are in chapters that can be read in about 30 minutes. Thus parents have a convenient stopping point." The time spent reading to your children will inevitably increase their creativity and imagination by allowing them to create a "mental movie" of what they hear.52. What does the writer say about how parents think of creativity?A) Parents take it for granted that creativity is worthy.B) Parents know exactly how to help kids to improve creativity.C) Parents only enhance creativity based on experience.D) Parents should be asked to help kids with their creativity problems.53. How do researchers know that creativity is going on in the brain?A) They know it according to what they observe from the subjects.B) They use hypnosis therapy to find out in the subjects.C) Research facilities can locate the areas in the subjects’brain where creativity takes place.D) The subjects read aloud in their sleep which can indicate the place of creativity.54. The following describes the natural process of brain except _______.A) Connections that youngsters seldom use will disappear.B) Connections can renew themselves and become more mature.C) Reading aloud to children creates new synapses and reinforces old ones.D) The process repeats itself every several months.55. What does “zeroed in” mean?A) Writing books.B) Making lectures.C) Pinpoint the topic.D) Arrange interviews.56. From the last paragraph we know kids really love Blomberg's books because _______.A) Because the books are tailored to this concept.B) Because all my books are in chapters that can be read in about 30 minutes.C) Because his books are adventurous, imaginative and humorous.D) Because his books enable parents to have sth. to do with kids.Part III Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
