2017年浙江省专升本大学英语试题和答案

2017年浙江省专升本⼤学英语试题和答案Part 1 ReadingSection AFormat 1To hear most recent research tell it, coffee is a miracle drink. The magic beans will ward off skin cancer and Alzheimer’s(⽼年痴呆症), reduce heart failure and diabetes（糖尿病）risks, heighten focus, and maybe even protect liver health. Oh, and decrease suicide risk, according to the newest study that validates our coffee addictions.According to a study performed by the Harvard School of Public Health and published this month in The Worl d Journal of Biological Psychiatry, people who drink two to four cups of java each day are less likely to commit suicide than those who don’t drink coffee, drink decaf, or drink fewer than two cups each day. The study followed ove r 200,000 people for at least 16 years. And it’s not just a weak link: the researchers found that the suicide risk was cut by around 50 percent for coffee addicts.This isn’t the first time that researchers have discovered that coffee and smiles might go hand-in-hand. A 2011 study found that women who drink coffe e cut their risk of depression by 15 percent compared to those who don’t. Michel Lucas, the head researcher of the most recent study, told The Huffington Post that coffee addicts can thank caffeine for the good news. The drug may actually act like a mild anti-depressant by tweaking levels of happy hormones .Of course, there’s plenty of research out there that doesn’t look so kindly upon coffee drinkers. Recently, the New Yorker published an article arguing that while coffee may heighten focus, that means it also puts a squeeze on creativity. And of course, coffee’s well-known negative effects like insomnia(失眠症) and disturbed sleep cyclesstill hold.Regardless, we’ll raise our mugs to this most recent study for justifying our coffee addictions once again.1 . Which of the following is not mentioned as a possible benefit of drinking coffee ?A.reducing heart failure risksB.protecting liver healthC.preventing skin cancerD.improving eyesight2 . According to a study performed by the Harvard School of Public Health , people are less likely to commit suicide ifthey________A.drink fewer than two cups of coffee each dayB.drink more than four cups of coffee each dayC.drink two to four cups of coffee each dayD.don ' t drink any coffee each day3 . The reason why coffee can cut the suicide risk lies in that _________A.it can heighten focusB.it can cure skin cancerC.it may help to prevent depressionD.it may make people less creative4 . One of the negative effects of coffee is that it__________A.costs a lot of moneyB.disturbs sleepC.makes people fatD.causes coffee addictions5 . What might be the writer ' s attitude toward coffee drinking ?A.PositiveB.HostileC.IndifferentD.ToughPassages 2Polar bears are classified as marine mammals(哺乳动物), like a seal or a whale, which might come as asurprise given that they're usually pictured on land.But polar bears spend a lot of their time in the waters of the Arctic(北极),fishing or swimming among the sea ice.They may look awkward in the water , but no creaturewith paws is a better swimmer.They'd better be.Arctic sea ice is declining fast,robbing the polar bear of its prime habitat and forcing them to swim longer and longer distances to reach solid ground . No other animal seems to be such a direct victim of warming, which is one reason why the polar bear has emerged as the symbol of climate change . ( Another is that they look so cute and cuddly . )It ' s a simple narrative to grasp :carbon warms the climate , Arctic sea ice melts and baby polar bears down.But it turns out it might not be that simple .A new study by scientists at the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS ) underscores the fact that polar bears really are amazing swimmer. In fact they are so good that biologists were able to document 5 0 swims that cover an average length of 96 miles. the research provides clues that polar bears may be able to keep treading(踩 ) water even as climate change melts their habitat.The researchers published their work in the Canadian journal of zoology . they followed 52 female polar bears in the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska from 2004 to 2009,using radio collars that could track the movements of the animals . They then compared the paths taken by the bears with maps of shifting sea ice over the same period of time , and found that the polar bears were world - class marathon swimmers and those long , long dips in the ocean weren't outliers—— while the really long -distance sw ims wer e re l ativel y ra t e, 3 8 % of th e be a rs surve ye d took at lea s t on e such mara thon swi m . 6 . People may feel surprised to know that polar bears are classified as marine mammals because______A.polar bears cannot live in the seaB.polar bears have paws and can walkC.polar bears are usually seen on landD.polar bears are rarely pictured by people7 . what does the writer mean saying " no creature with paws is a better swimmer " in the first paragraph ?A.polar bears are the best swimmers in the worldB.polar bears swim better than other animals with pawsC.no other creatures with paws can swimD.creature with paws can swim better than any fish8 . The second paragraph is mainly about___________A.the danger the baby polar bears will faceB.the reason why polar bears are so popularC.the causes of climate changeD.the effects of warming on polar bears9 . The underlined word "underscores " (Paragraph3 ) is the closest in meaning to“___________”A. emphasizesB.deniesC.understandD.accepts10 . What did the researchers use to track the movements of the 52 female polar bears ?A.GPSB.AirplanesC.Radio CollarsD.Maps of shifting sea icePassage 3How many hundreds of heroes go unheralded（未宣布的） from the days of the Underground Railroad?While we celebrate such important figures as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, numerous others were needed to make the operation of the "railroad" a success. Runaway slaves had to be given shelter from weather and from search parties. The tale of this awesome phenomenon is one of cooperation, coordination, and brotherly love.The Underground Railroad operated as a secret organization dedicated to assisting runaway slaves from the South. The Railroad should not be thought of, however, as one cohesive body. It was in fact an ever-evolving organization devoted to one cause: protection of one's fellow men and women. It actually began during the colonial period.However, it reached its height in the decades preceding the American Civil War. Acts such as the “FugitiveSlave Act of 1850”（1850年逃奴追缉法案）increased railroad activity and popularity. The ultimate goal of theUnderground Railroad was to accomplish the safe arrival of runaway slaves to Canada where the long arm of the law could not reach them. Laws such as the Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 and 1850 allowed slave owners to recapture escaped slaves and bring them back to bondage in the South.Some historians believe this courageous organization was began by Quakers(贵格会教徒) in Pennsylvaniaand New Jersey.Over time, the backbone of this organization became the numerous free blacks of the North. They were essential to the successful operation of the Underground Railroad. In most cases, fleeing slaves traveled by any means necessary and often on their own in an effort to reach freedom in the North. After arriving in the North the people of the Underground Railroad would provide assistance and supplies in an effort to get them to the guaranteed freedom of Canada.11 . Which of the following statements about the underground railroad is true ?A.It was a railroad built underground like subwayB.It was a railroad operated by the us governmentC.It operated as a secret organization to help runaway slavesD.It served as a secret route only known to slave owners in the south12 . From paragraph 2 , we know that the runaway slaves________.A.could not afford to buy their train tickets .B.could be recaptured by slave ownersC.could not get any shelter from bad weatherD.might reach Canada with the help of search parties13. The Underground Railroad began_________A. during the American Civil WarB. after the declaration of independence .C. during the colonial periodD. between 1793 and 185014. Who were essential to the successful operation of the underground railroad ?A. Slaves in the SouthB. Quakers in CanadaC. White people of the southD. Free blacks of the North15. The tone of the passage can be described as________A.objectiveB.delightfulC.pessimisticD.humorousPassage 4We are in the midst of a heated public debate over the benefits of online education.I think that the incidents of cheating have increased for two interconnecting reasons .The first is the trend of packing as many students as possible into course sections as a means of saving money .The second is the structure of the online courses themselves . It is evident that these two intertwining(结) trends can serve to produce academic cheating and plagiarism(剽窃). In the wake of the Great Recession and the following budget crisis , the dean of one of the colleges I teach in increased class size by as many as 50 students in an attempt to save money.One of the non - online courses I teach was intended for 32 to 35 pupils . But when I taught the course last semester , it was composed of 82 students.Online courses serve to exacerbate(加剧)the trend toward larger class sizes.The primary motive for the increase in online courses is that they do not require physical classroom space .This allows campus administrators t o cut costs by increasing the number of students enrolled in a particular course section even if they don ' t have classrooms .What's more,when students take classes online,the professor does not have face-to-face contact with the vast majority of the students enrolled in the course.As a result , one can never be sure that the students are doing their own work for there is little to stop them from paying another student to take their exams for them.It is evident that both increased class sizes without any accompanying teaching assistance and the structure of online courses by themselves , makes it easier for students to cheat . This not only cheapens the college but also makes the whole of a college education meaningless.16 . The writer of this passage is most probably a__________.A.studentB.journalistC.campus administratorD.professor17.In the writer’s opinion , one reason for the increase in academic dishonesty is that_________.A. students want to save moneyB. class sizes are too largeC.classrooms are very smallD. dishonest students are not punished18.The primary motive for the increase in online courses is that__________.A.they are new and modernB.they can improve the education qualityC.they do not need physical classroom spaceD.they are convenient for both students and teachers19 . One form of the academic dishonesty mentioned in the passage is that____________.A.students copy term paper without being noticeB.students don’t do any homeworkC.students don ’t attend classes regularlyD.students can ask someone else to take exams20.The writer’s altitude toward on line educ ation is___________.A.negativeB.friendlyC.neutralD.supportiveFormat 2Here are job interview tips to help prepare you to interview effectively. Proper preparation will help alleviate some of the stress involved in job interviews, and the more you prepare, the more comfortable and successful you will be .PracticePractice your responses to the typical job interview questions and answers most employers ask. Think of concrete examples you can use to highlight your skills. 21) ______.Get ReadyMake sure your interview attire is neat, tidy and appropriate for the type of firm you are interviewing with. Bring a nice portfolio (公⽂包)with extra copies of your resume. 22)_________.Be On TimeBe on time for the interview. 23)_______. If need be, take some time to drive to the interview location ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going and how long it will take to get there.24)_______During the job interview, try to relax and stay as calm as possible. Remember that your body language says as much about you as your answers to the questions.Follow Up25)_______. You can also include any details you may have forgotten to mention during yourinterview. If you interview with multiple people send each one a personal note. Send your thank you note (email is fine) within 24 hours of your interview.A.Stay CalmB.Always follow up with a thank - you note restating your interest in the positionC.Providing examples of your successes is a great way to promote your opportunityD.On time means five to ten minutes earlyE.Search the Internet for job advertisementsF.Include a pen and paper for note takingG.Show What You KnowSection BJonathan and his family were on their way to Clever Mountain for a day of hiking. Jonathan sat in the back seat, clutching （抓着） Goggle, his stuffed owl, and looking out thought the open window at the ___26__mountains ,blue streams and shade trees .As they____27___ a little bridge, the car hit a bump and Goggle went flying out the window.The car stopped on the shoulder, and he raced out just ___28___ time to see Goggle disappear out of view in the back of a canoe travelling down the stream.Carlos picking up the owl from the bottom of his canoe and looking up to see ___29____ it came from.

I was the elder of two 36 , and had begun to feel the urge to be on my own, that I was 37 to take charge of my own lifeEven at the time of being accepted to Virginia Tech, I was 38 at the prospect of starting over, with new faces, and new things to see and do.But as the time arrived to39my bags and prepare to leave, the reality of what I was doing hit home hard. I 40 as I realized that I was going to be eight and a half hours away from everything and 41 that was familiar to me. I was leaving the town where I had 42 ，and all the things about it that I lovedFor the first few 43 after arriving at school, I thought that I was not going to make it through the year. 44 a tearful call back home, I grabbed one of the few books in my suitcase, Chicken Soup For the Teenage Soul, and I headed down to the library to read a few stories. They had always been able to 45 me up before, and 1 was hopeful that they 46 now.On the way out, I passed another girl in the hallway. She 47 the book in my hand and smiled, saying that she had the same book in her dorm room, 48 i took a chance, and invited her to come read with me- Being as 49 as I was, she agreed, and we found our way onto the library.Before we knew 50，we were surrounded by girls, who，like us，had either read51 owned the book，and who loved it as much as we 52 As I watched the tears 53 everyone’s faces and the smiles grow as we all read，I realized that I was not aloneThe days went on, and I still 54 home—but the campus was beautiful, the people were 55 , and it became better and betteras the school year continued.36.

(Unless, I suppose, you’re a nice, leafy vegetable.) Turtles and tortoises—the main difference is that turtles dwell at least partially in water, while tortoises live exclusively on land—are slow-moving, peaceful animals whose main form of protection from the outside world is a hard shell. Not for nothing do we have the fable of the slow and steady tortoise winning the race. Turtles have existed in some form for more than 220 million years, outlasting their early contemporaries the dinosaurs(恐龙). Long-lived turtles and tortoises are symbols of perseverance in the natural world.Unfortunately, the rules of the race are changing. Turtles and tortoises are among the world’s most endangered vertebrates（脊椎动物）. Only primates（灵长类动物）—human beings expected—are at greater risk of being wiped off the planet. The threats are many. The animals are collected by traders, eaten in the wild and in fine restaurants, used as pets or for traditional medicine, and sometimes simply killed. The very adaptations that once made them so successful—their long adult life span and delayed sexual maturity—has made them vulnerable as the world around them changed, mostly thanks to human beings.A 2011 report from the Turtle Conservation Coalition makes it clear: we need to act now if we’re to save the turtles and the tortoises:We are facing a turtle survival crisis unprecedented in its severity and risk. Humans are the problem, and must therefore also be the solution. Without concerted conservation action, many of the world’s turtles and tortoises will become extinct within the next few decades. It is now up to us to prevent the loss of these remarkable, unique jewels of evolution.As we mark World Turtle Day on May 23, spare a thought for these armoured but endangered creatures.56 . The main difference between turtles and tortoises is that the former can sometimes live in water while the latter only live________________________________.57.For turtles and tortoises , their main form of protection from the outside world is_________________________58.Long - lived turtles and tortoises are symbols of _________________________________________________59.

The color____________________________(看上去是绿⾊⽽不是蓝⾊)65.(不要把书落下)_____________________________you will want it.Section B66) I heard a shocking conversation between two diners in a restaurant the other day. One lady was deciding whether or not she should have a green salad, fresh fruit or fries as a side dish with her meal.67) Her friend said, “don’t get the fruit，it makes you fat.” “Fruit makes you fat ?“she asked.“I t has tons of calories " replied the friend.The lady ordered fries with her meal.Can fruit make you fat? My favorite quote about fruit comes from Steven Kates, personal trainer and founder of one of my favorite weight loss products “ Lifesize Portions ”. In the instructional video for Lifesize he talks to a client who is astounded that she can eat an unlimited number of bananas on the Lifesize Portions program.68) No one gets fat from eating bananas,“he says.He’s right. 69) Of course，the woman in the first conversation is right too. Some fruits are higher in calories. And for dieters with diabetes, the sugar in fruit may limit the amount they should eat.70) But for the average person who wants to eat a healthy diet, fruit is a good thing! You can overeat any food, but really，when’s the last time you heard of someone overeating kiwi?If you’ve concerned about the calorie count in your fruit, here are a few numbers. Tm not a fan of juicing for weight loss, so my preference is always to eat the whole fruit instead of its juiced counterpart. Whole fruit provides more fiber, usually takes longer to eat and is more likely to make you feel satisfied for a longer period of time. For the sake of comparison, I’ve included the calorie counts for a few other snack foods you might be tempted to eat instead of the fruit.66)I heard a shocking conversation between two diners in a restaurant the other day.67)Her friend said, “don’t get the fruit，it makes you fat.68)No one gets fat from eating bananas,“ he says69)Of course，the woman in the first conversation is right too70)But for the average person who wants to eat a healthy diet, fruit is a good thing!Part 4 Writing71.

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 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 or argument. 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. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes."36. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate?A. T o bring long-lasting material rewards.B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C. T o respond to questions in a systematic way.D. T o persuade people to accept your opinions.答案：D37. Why is debate important.9A. It helps people understand others better.B. It allows people to present their opinions.C. It develops one' s thinking and communicative competence.D. It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.答案：C38. What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Container.B. Evidence.C. Problem.D. Product.答案：A39. What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person' s shoes" .9A. Becoming more broad-minded.B. Developing critical thinking.C. Finding others' weak points.D. Trying out others' methods. 答案：APassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. 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 fromthe 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, often in 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 eyesight答案：A41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??A. Courageous.B. Cowardly.C. Energetic.D. Slow.答案：B42. 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.答案：C43. 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.答案：BPassage 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 new study 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.答案：B45. 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.答案：D46. 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.答案：B47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage?A. Objective.B. Creative.C．subjectiveD．persuasive答案：APassage 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 advancement rather 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.答案：D49. 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.答案：B50. 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.答案：A51. 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.答案：CPassage 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 middle of 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.答案：C53. 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.答案：D54. 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.答案：B55. What might be the best title of the passage?A. T ea-Drinking TipsB. Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC. T ea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD. Blue Zones Solutions答案：AⅤ.Daily Conversation ( 15 points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete thefollowing dialoaue by blackenina the corresuondina letter on the Answer Sheet.Woman : Hello, Mr. Johnson' s office.Man : Good morning. 56 ？答案：AWoman : Sorry,he' s in a meeting at the moment. 57 ？答案：FMan:Yes.

He says debate is important to understanding how people communicate in Western business.Successful debaters learn how to give their opinion，reasons 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 customers."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 ually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking.In other words，it helps students learn to ask questions and 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 or argument.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."There's an expression in English：don't criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes.I think the wonderful thing about debate is，it puts us in another person's shoes."36.According to Paragraph1，what is the purpose of debate?A.To bring long-lasting material rewards.B.To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C.To respond to questions in a systematic way.D.To persuade people to accept your opinions.37.Why is debate important.A.It helps people understand others better.B.It allows people to present their opinions.C.It develops one's thinking and communicative competence.D.It gives one the opportunity to brush others'opinion aside.38.What does the underlined word“case”in Paragraph3refer to?A.Container.B.Evidence.C.Problem.D.Product.39.What can debaters benefit from“walking in another person' s shoes”.A.Becoming more broad-minded.B.Developing critical thinking.C.Finding others'weak points.D.Trying out others'methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero，and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all.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 sixdays a week，often in 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 Paragraph5mean??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 new study 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，asked8，399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health.A total of753were apple eaters，consuming at least149g of raw apple per day.The remaining7，646were 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 be27%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 do contain some immune(免疫的)system-increasing vitamin C，which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less.With over8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit，an apple can provide roughly14%your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type2diabetes(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．subjective D．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 atthe 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 challenge 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 after the last bell and those who worked into the evening.And when expectations are unconscious 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 made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat"s best for the students.don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations，trust flies out the window and our relationships suffer.48.According to Paragraph1，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 improvement?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 concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe，Latin America，Asia and the US that live to be100have 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 his15or so years of studying these places--is："Drink coffee for breakfast，tea in the afternoon，wine at5p.m"Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea.Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea，as well as foods like cocoa.Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break1007Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke，heart disease and 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 middle of 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，maijoram，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 1refer 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 Paragraph3，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.To improve metabolism.B.To lower blood pressure.C.To lower life stress.D.To improve social relationships.55.What might be the best title of the passage?A.Tea-Drinking TipsB.Lifestyle Secrets of IkariansC.Tea-Drinking Ceremony in OkinawaD.Blue Zones SolutionsⅤ.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Can I speak to Mr.Johnson，pleaseB.I’ll tell him you’ve calledC.I’ll give him the messageD.What can I do for youE.Can you tell him that we can meet tomorrow afternoon in my officeF.Can I take a messageG.Can you ask him to call me back as soon as possibleH.That’s rightWoman：Hello，Mr.Johnson's office.Man：Good morning.56？Woman：Sorry，he's in a meeting at the moment.57？Man：Yes.This is Steve Lee from Bright light Systems.58？Woman：Tomorrow afternoon in your office.Man：59Woman：Okay.60Man：Thank you.第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共25分）Ⅵ.Writing(25points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in100-120words based on the following information.

A total of 753 were apple eaters，consuming at least 149 g 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.

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 challenge 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 extra effort teachers should put into their work—a big difference between the teachers who left after the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are unconscious 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 know，assumptions are often wrong. For example，parents and teachers may think the principal made a particular decision based on his career advancement rather than what’s best for the students. If we don’t feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations，trust flies out 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 in favor of the government’s reform efforts.C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.D. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.49.According to Bryk and Schneider，what was most important for successful school improvement?A. New standards and tests in schools.

W hat 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 should be encouraged. D. They are often incorrect.Passage FiveAn interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities with the highest 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.m.”Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers are most enthusiastic about the components in green tea，as well as foods like cocoa. Why might they help so many Okinawans in Japan break 100? Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke，heart disease and 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 middle of 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，marjoram，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 carry the gene for being slim.D. People who are one hundred years old or older.53.According to Paragraph 3，what is the recommended time for tea drinking?A. In the morning. B. In the afternoon.C. In the early evening. D. Any time of a day.54.What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?A. To improve metabolism.B. To lower life stress.C. To lower blood pressure.D. To improve social relationships.55.What might be the best title of the passage?A. Tea-Drinking TipsB. Blue Zones SolutionsC. Tea-Drinking Ceremony in Okinawa D. Lifestyle Secrets of lkariansV.

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 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 thatcan 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 or argument. 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. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes. "36. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate?A. T o bring long-lasting material rewards.B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C. T o respond to questions in a systematic way.D. T o persuade people to accept your opinions.37. Why is debate important.9A. It helps people understand others better.B. It allows people to present their opinions.C. It develops one' s thinking and communicative competence.D. It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.38. What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Container.B. Evidence.C. Problem.D. Product.39. What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person' s shoes" .9A. Becoming more broad-minded.B. Developing critical thinking.C. Finding others' weak points.D. Trying out others' methods.Passage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. 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, often in group,team-orientedsessions.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 new study 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 ofNursing,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 collectivedecisions.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 advancement rather 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 theyhelp 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 middle of 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.

"Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, thejudges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come inand present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as theycan. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their easeto the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learnto ask questionsand try to understand someone's reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what otherpeople 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. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. Ithink the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes."36.According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate?A. To bring long-lasting material rewards.B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.C. To respond to questions in a systematic way.D. To persuade people to accept your opinions.37.A. It helps people understand others better.B.

Youwill often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--andat times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or fromthe 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 lostindividuals — and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow sliderescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties ofa 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 fitfor duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take fromtwo 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 theair for the victim' s scent ( 气味 ) and then follow the scent to the person. This abilityis 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 MichiganSchool of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about dietand health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw appleper day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groupsanswered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,theapple 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 usefewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely tohave a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do notcompete 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 ofvitamin 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 ortry new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform stronglysuggests 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 trustwas at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's m ind,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 andSchneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and withintegrity（正直 ). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based onour unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations abouthow much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between theteachers 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 tolive 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 teachersmy think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancementrather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to questionour assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationshipssuffer.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 intentionsbehind 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 thecommunities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US thatlive to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but thesefolks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities toexercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described inauthor 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 studyingthese 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. Researchersare 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 improvemetabolism ( 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, Ikarianstypically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have pickedthemselves 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. To improve metabolism.B. To lower blood pressure.C.

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,often in group,team-orientedsessions.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 Paragraph5mean??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 new study 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 ofNursing,asked8,399participants to answer survey questions about diet and health.A total of 753were apple eaters,consuming at least149g of raw apple per day.The remaining7,646 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 be27%less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption,though.
