I look forward to fall when butternut squash and apples are in season so I can make this soup.JANE ST. LOUIS, MO JULY 4, 20165I eat a guacamole sandwich everyday on pumpernickel bread and it’s not only delicious but Ifeel it’s healthy and I have gained NO weight.1. What is the passage intended for?A. describing a product in detailB. sharing comments about a bookC. advertising a book for saleD. giving advice on food and recipes2. What advice can you find in Recipes & Remedies?A. how to go on a diet to keep healthyB. how to keep fit through good dietC. how to use food to cure cancerD. how to take drugs to relieve pains3. Where does the passage come from?A. A webpageB. A guideC. A reviewD. A newspaperBA couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” The following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee (大黄蜂) on the skylight (天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.It is not only time that we tend to underestimate –we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged – even at a task you thought was simple – because that is part of life.If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule (计划) best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found mysel f with a more positive attitude and improved results.Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.4. Why did the author mention his experience of removing a bee?A. To share something unforgettable with us.B. To lead us to what the author learned from it.C. To show the unexpected costs it caused.D. To tell us how easy it is to waste our time.5. Why do things often turn out to be different from what we expect?A. We often don’t take time seriously.B. We tend not to have enough money.C. Unexpected things can happen.D. It is easy to feel challenged.6. According to the text, what does the underlined phrase “beat ourselves up” mean?A. to hit or kick ourselves hard, many timesB. to blame ourselves too muchC. to encourage ourselves to work hardD. to give up ourselves7. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?A. To encourage people to make greater efforts.B. To explain how to make preparations.C. To tell us what to do when something gets in our way.D. To persuade us not to expect things to be easy.CDue to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), people all over the world are wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection. It’s a very simple but incredibly effective method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let’s take a look at some mask-related history.1st centuryIn that era, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although primitive, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.16th centuryEarly inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), proposed using a woven cloth dipped in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals.19th centuryThe design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of a surgical mask.20th centuryIn 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical g auze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture (制作) and had a low production cost. Modern explorationWith several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu, and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can filter out this fine particulate (微粒) matter, became highly popular. In the future, masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.8. According to the text, why were masks invented?A. To reduce the risk of infection.B. To protect miners from dust.C. To indicate patients with respiratory illnesses.D. To protect workers from harmful chemicals.9. What was considered a milestone in face mask history?A. Using a woven cloth instead of animal skins.B. Getting a patent on protective masks for miners.C. The invention of surgical masks in 1897.D. Using more than one layer of surgical gauze.10. “Wu’s mask” grew popular around the world because _____.A. it could be used multiple timesB. it was simple for people to wearC. it was cheap and easy to manufactureD. it could better protect people from smog11. What is the text mainly about?A. The evolution of masks.B. The benefits of using masks.C. A comparison of different masks.D. The roles masks played at different times.DDuring the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.Due to this openness, pharmaceutical companies across the globe are now able to work at the same time to develop a vaccine (疫苗). “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different a ge groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.This openness in science is going to be even more important in the future. “With climate change, increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become more frequent,” Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.He said, “No one group can do everything. It has to be a coordinated approach. But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge, drugs,and therapeutics (疗法) very rapidly.”Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming (补偿的) factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better.12. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic.B. Something positive we’ve learned from the epidemic.C. The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge.D. What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics.13. What is the positive effect of the research team from Fudan University placing the genetic sequence of the virus onto GenBank?A. They alerted the world to the danger of the virus.B. They helped remo ve people’s fear of the virus.C. They showed the world how to produce a vaccine.D. They invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.13.What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Remdesivir in the text?A. To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.B. To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.C. To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries.D. To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained.14.Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?A. Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to scientific development.B. The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.C. No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.D. The increase in globalization may worsen future epidemics.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.“I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler. “He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts. “It' s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Ca rter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him”After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’ re going to help him through his remaining course work.”4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?A. He hurt an artist.B. He couldn’t afford his study.C. He got a strange disease.D. He had a hand injury.5. What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?A. To do a project on homelessness.B. To know why he hung around UT.C. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-minded.7. What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He supports students who never give up.C. He calls on other students to help Carter.D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.CWhen faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button，you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?A. People do it just for fun.B. It is a common practice.C. People take it seriously.D. It is a bit childish.9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A. It is meaningful in the long term.B. It makes people become lazy.C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.D. It affects our body and mind.10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?A. Forming a good sleep habit.B. Trying to relax ourselves.C. Making use of willpower.D. Using an extra alarm.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.B. The snooze button and people's character.C. Should you rely on the snooze button?D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?DA storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in UShistory. It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.”But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week. "Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” sai d Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家).Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and e ncourage them to stay home. There’s no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”12. What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about?A. Flood damage in Houston.B. Flood prevention in Houston.C. Heavy floods hitting Houston.D. People fighting floods in Houston.13. What do we know about Hurricane Harvey?A. It caused no deaths or injuries.B. It did a lot of damage to Texas.C. It was less serious than this week’s rain.D. It was the biggest hurricane on record.14. What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service?A. Fine days are coming.B. It will rain a little non-stop.C. A hurricane is unavoidable.D. Floods will continue.15.What did Samuel suggest local people do?A. Stay indoors.B. Join firefighters.C. Give up needless things.D.

Grammar and VocabularySection A 17’Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.( A )Health Is a Laughing MatterIf you think back to an occasion when something made you laugh out loud, you’ll probably find your lips starting to twitch (抽动) again and that same positive feeling invading your body.25 you may not realize, though, is that this good for you. Both smiling and laughing have a beneficial effect on your health. Laughter, the physical sign which indicates you are enjoying your life, is one of 26 (cheap) beauty treatments. It reduces stress, nourishes the spirit and is a natural antidepressant.Laughing produces a chemical effect in the body. 27 makes the body produce biochemical substances such as serotonin (止清素) and adrenaline (肾上腺素). These boost the immune system (免疫系统), activating the cells and stimulating their division.There is also a physical effect. A full-blown laugh-out-loud session mobilizes and strengthens over 400 muscles; it gets the heart and abdomen (腹部) working. Laughing out loud also aids digestion, reduces fatty acids, decreases pain and benefits breathing. When you laugh, your blood bees 28 (charge) with electomagentic (电磁的) energy, 29 can improve circulation.Laughing 30 you cry, in addition, could improve your ability 31 (see) clearly and make you see colors more vividly. But a good laugh clears not just the eyes but the ears and nose, too.Actually, the health benefits of laughter 32 (recognize). There is even a World Laughter Organization, based in Spain. Mari Cruz Garcia, the president and a laughter therapy expert, says, “Laughter develops imagination and creativity, reduces anxiety, and produces a facial massage (按摩). Five minutes of laughter acts as a pain reliever; laughing 100 times is equivalent to 33 (do) ten minutes of aerobic exercise, and 20 seconds of laughter is equivalent to a three-minute workout at the gym!”( B )It’s another Oscar season. This year, Leonardo Dicaprio, Brie Larson and many other lucky winners accepted their Oscars and thanked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts (美国电影艺术与科学学会), their families and colleagues. So, 34 linguistic(语言的) terms, what makes an acceptance speech succeed where others fail?To explore this, let’s take a look at a few thank-yous from the best actresses, some from the mid-twentieth century and some from recent years.The first is English actress Vivien Leigh (费雯丽), 35 (receive) the Academy Award for Gone with the Wind in 1940. “Ladies and gentlemen,”she said, “please forgive me if my words are inadequate in thanking you for your very great kindness. If I were to mention all those who have shown me such wonderful generosity, I should have to entertain you with a speech as long as Gone with the Wind itself.”Leigh begins with a humble apology 36 (emphasize) the depth of her appreciation. It’s 37 words-fail-me approach.British- American actress Olivia de Havillland received her first Oscar in 1947, going on a bit to explain her pride in the award. “Since I value highly the profession which 38 (instruct) me, rewarded me and permitted my share of the world’s work, it will understand and forgive me, I know, for the very great pride I feel in receiving this award,” she said.In the 21st century, the language has changed, but we find the same strategies：pride, humor and some references to childhood. Kate Winslet, for example, 39 (mention) her youthful dreams 40 receiving her Academy Award for The Reader（《生死朗读》）in xx. “I’d be lying if I haven’t made a version of this speech before. I think I was probably eight years old and staring into the bathroom mirror and this would have been a shampoo bottle. Well, it’s not a shampoo bottle now!” she said in a humorous tone.These are just a sample. If we were to look at the full range of acceptance speeches, who knows what we 41 find. After all, in order not to make for a pretty boring ceremony, successful acceptance speeches are often indirect and they often go beyond a simple “thank you.”Section B 10’Directions: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only beWhether you have 5,000 friends on Facebook or 50, chances are at least some of them are not really your friends. The majority of them cannot develop a 42 friendship with you.And it doesn’t 43 , of course, some of your friends are robots. According toa newly published University of Oxford study, the average Facebook user may have just four“close” friends to depend on in times of crisis. The number was found to be almost 44 across all age groups, in both men and women, 45 of how many friends they could boast online.To carry out the study, Oxford psychology professor Robin Dunbar 46 two large, separate groups of adults across the U.K. The first group had 2,000 men and women between ages 18 and 65 who “made regular use of social media,” while the second included1,375 “adults who worked full time” and were not necessarily social media users.Both groups were asked a series of questions about their online and offline behavior, as well as the size of their social networks in both spaces. When asked how many 47 friends they had on Facebook, they offered an average answer of 41.4. When asked, however, how many Facebook friends they could depend on during an emotional or social crisis, those people said the number was 4.1. Around 13.6, they 48 , would express sympathy.“So, in the end, all we have is time,” said Professor Dunbar. “Your brain can only take so much friendship. Your emotions can only be 49 with a few people. Facebook is, indeed, a time-sink（耗费时间的东西）, not a glorious new syncing （同步）of souls.”But Dunbar did offer a solution as to how to 50 true friendships.“Friendships, in particular, have a natural decay rate in the absence of contact, and social media may well function to slow down the rate. However, that alone may not be enough to prevent friendships from eventually dying if they are not occasionally 51 by face-to-face interaction,” he said.So, maybe we ought to make more calls and pay more visits to the people we love----there aren’t that many, after all.III. Reading prehensionSection A 15’Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Napping for a while at daytime is a very smart and healthy move. The Mayo Clinic says naps 52 relaxation, better mood and alertness, and a sharper working 53 . A xx British study found that pared to getting more nighttime sleep, a mid-day nap was the best way to 54 the mid-afternoon sleepiness.According to the Harvard Health Letter, several studies have shown that people 55new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, most 56 , a xx study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped 57 had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease pared to people who didn’t nap.Of course, napping isn’t58 for everyone. If you’re suffering from inability to sleep, naps that are too long or taken too late in the day can 59 with your ability to fall or stay asleep at night.But for most, naps can make you feel sharper and happier.

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)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize thata detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.67.The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________．A. relax in the fresh airB. take a deep breathC. take care of the lambD. let the kids play with Banner68. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A. Freeways are where beauty hides.B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.69. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Charm of the DetourB. The Road to BraveryC. Creativity out of NecessityD. Road Trip and Country Life(B)Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed herself as she did nowhere else.After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline's close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher's editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing a late life career longer than her two marriages bined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to bee an international best seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography (自传)，Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote.Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.70. We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline ________.A. became fond of reading after working as an editorB. was in charge of publishing 100 booksC. promoted her books through social relationsD. gained a lot from her career as an editor71. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ________.A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First LadyB. Jacqueline's life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editorC. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First LadyD. Jacqueline's role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor72. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Jacqueline's two marriages lasted more than 20 years.B. Jacqueline's own publishing firm was set up eventually.C. Jacqueline's views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited.D. Jacqueline's achievements were widely known.73. The passage is mainly ________.A. an introduction of Jacqueline's life both as First Lady and as an editorB. a brief description of Jacqueline's lifelong experiencesC. a brief account of Jacqueline's career as an editor in her last 20 yearsD. an analysis of Jacqueline's social relations in publishing(C)As rules, laws are people’s rights and responsibilities toward society. Laws are agreed on by society and made official by governments.Some persons look on laws w ith fear, hatred, or annoyance. Laws seem to limit people’s freedom to do many things they would like to do. Though laws may prevent us from doing things we wish to do at the moment, laws make everyone’s life safer and more pleasant. Without laws we could not hold on to our property; we could not go to bed at night expecting to wake up in the morning and find that we had not been robbed; no stores in which we buy food, clothes, and other necessities could stay open and sell to us. Our banks would not be safe places to keep our money.Social life would be impossible without laws to control the way people treat one another. It is not the laws that should be feared but the trouble that es to everyone when laws are broken. Once this is understood, a citizen will not fear or hate the law. Understanding the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws is the first requirement of good citizenship and government.Philosophers once believed that in prehistoric time people lived without laws in a “state of nature”. People were free to do as they pleased unless someone stronger stopped them by force. As a result, life became so dangerous and unsafe that leaders had to create laws to protect life and property.This is no longer believed to be true. Scholars now think that as soon as people began living in small groups, they worked out rules for getting along with one other. In time everyone accepted and supported the rules. Manners, customs and beliefs controlled the living habits and behavior of the group. Such rules and habits of life are called folkways.Folkways are probably the real meaning of human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education. As life became more plex, folkways became more plete guides to living. After thousands of years, some of the important folkways were put into writing as the earlier laws. Andas life grew more and more plicated with faster transportation and the rise of modern industry and big cities, more human acts and interests had to be ruled by law. This led to a great increase in the number of laws.But we know that unless laws are enforced, they cannot protect us. Poorly enforced laws invite crime and violence. So we agree that the best protection against crime is planned social change and law reform -- to reduce the causes of crime and to encourage people to obey the laws. Such a solution would join a sound system of law enforcement with forces working to prevent crime. To attain this goal, all citizens must understand the need for good laws and for their enforcement.74. Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance, because_____.A. laws and rules are too plicated to understandB. they can’t do whatever they want toC. laws only protect those who worked out themD. they feel it unnecessary to have laws75. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A.Without laws we may fail to hold on to our propertyB.Good citizens and government should be aware of the need for good laws and the evilresults of breaking lawsC. In prehistoric time people lived happily without laws in a “state of nature”.D. Human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education, are believed to originate fromFolkways.76. A sound system of law enforcement is necessary because_____.A. some citizens fear or hate the law.B. the evil results of breaking laws are getting fewer and fewer .C. we need someone stronger to stop crime by force.D. poorly enforced laws cause crime and violence.77. What’s the best title of this passage?A. The Origin of LawsB. Enforcement of LawsC. Leaders and LawsD. Laws and rules.Section C 8’Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Dog owners often talk about their pets like they’re part of the family. In fact, it often seems as though owners see their dogs as their kids. Now, scientists have found that the connection between humans and their dogs is similar to the mother-child bond, and it’s strengthened by the same thing: a loving gaze.The study was led by Takefumi Kikusi, an animal behaviorist at Azabu University (麻布大学) in Japan. When our dogs gaze into our eyes with that “you are everything to me” look, our bodies----and theirs as well----are flooded with oxytocin (催产素)，the hormone of love and care that strengthens the bond between people.Additionally, the more dog owners and their canine (犬科的) panions gazed into each other’s eyes, the more oxytocin both sides produced, Japanese researchers discovered. And themore we humans return a pet’s gaze, the more definitely we believe ours is the best dog in the whole wide world. That’s why service dogs, which are bred and trained to develop particularly powerful bonds with their owners, are proving their worth with patients.These findings, published in the journal Science, were based on 30 pairs of dog owners and their beloved pets. For the sake of parison, the researchers also analyzed the interactions between 11 wolves and the animal management professionals who had raised, fed and played with them, but they saw neither mutual (互相的) gaze nor the oxytocin increase.As the researchers put it, the experiments prove that “humans may feel affection for their panion dogs similar to that toward human family members.” They also help solve the myster y how species from very different branches of the evolutionary tree came to live together in such close harmony . The effect of eye contact between owners and their dogs is more meaningful than we thought. When your dog is gazing at you, she may not just be after your sandwich.78. In which way do the relationships between dogs and owners and the mother-child bond resemble?79. What does “that” refer to in the second line of the last paragraph?80. What is the general idea of the whole passage?81. Acco rding to the Takefumi Kikusi’s study, they saw both_____________ and ____________ between dogs and their owners when they are looking at each other.第II卷（共37分）I.

AGoing green seems to be fad (时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.21. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Going Green.B. Protecting the Planet.C. Keeping Open-Minded.D. Celebrating Our Green Year.22.It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole yearbecause .A. they were expected to follow othersB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they needed to perform unusual green tasks23.

They chose better chemical cleaners.24. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green people.B. The couple may continue their project in the future.C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national action.Bshould be your choice.A. Book TheaterB. BookmobileC. Computer TutorD. Reader Desk26.

Instead of emailing someone in the office, just get up and go to talk to them.” However, Dr．Katzmarzyk added, standing shouldn't be an alternative to exercising, but an alternative to sitting．"Several studies show that when you're sitting, your leg muscles are completely inactive," he said, "When you're sitting and completely inactive, this is when you run into trouble managing blood glucose（血糖）."28．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Watching TV too long can worsen our mental health．B．We should be active and give up smoking．C．Sitting for too long a time can shorten one's life．D．Smoking too much can be harmful to health．29．The researchers draw the conclusion on the effect of sedentary behavior by ．A. making comparisonsB.listing figuresC. giving examplesD.classifying facts30．What does Dr．Katzmarzyk think of sedentary behavior?A．It warns people to exercise 30 minutes a day．B．It's a bad behavior worth considering seriously．C．Sedentary behavior can lead to death at once．D．Sedentary behavior is good for desk job workers．31．According to Dr．Katzmarzyk, if you are sitting all the time, you may _ ．A．phone your friends and talk about your problem.B．put on weight quickly and become more inactive.C．want to have more sugar for your meals.D．find it hard to keep your blood glucose proper.DHonesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA（personal bank account）. I love how the singer Judy Garland put it. “Always be a first-class version（版本）of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else. ”Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at s chool, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This following story by Jeff is a good example of that.In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that any more, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it w ould only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.32.
