Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.Andrews, first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同)with Dream Works' Nashville label. Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Y earwood.With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明）gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."21. What's the meaning of the underlined word “launched" in the fourth paragraph?A. Aimed.B. Sent.C. Started.D. Set.22.

The Prince of Egypt.D. Who I Am24. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Jessica Andrews' LifeB. Jessica Andrews' DreamC. Jessica Andrews' SongsD. Jessica Andrews' Success as a SingerBOne year, my school report made my parents angry. On Christmas Eve, all the presents were stolen, along with our TV. My parents told me that there were no presents because Santa was very angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year on Christmas Eve I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure that he didn't steal the new TV. The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw that there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him, shouting angrily: "THIEF! THIEF!"JackWhen I was young, we always had a specific room for the Christmas tree. My mom never really liked the location, so one year she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced that Santa would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried that he would be mad and put me on the "bad" list and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree. I came up with the idea to make signs leading from the fireplace to the tree. They said things like: "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he began to laugh his head off.LucyDoes everyone remember going to the mall and sitting on Santa’s lap to have his picture taken at Christmas time?Well, I used to think that if I did that, Santa would get mad because he would have to go all around the world and give every kid the chance to have his picture taken with him. Of course his lap would hurt and he would be very fired. I thought he might keep a copy of the picture and that would be how he decided who would be on his naughty list.My mom couldn't get me onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty list.Lydia25. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Belief in SantaB. The Excitement on ChristmasC. Christmas GiftsD. Christmas Celebration26. The real reason why Jack's TV was taken away is that ______________.A. his parents were too carelessB. his parents thought he had watched too much TVC. Santa Claus was not satisfied with Jack’s behaviorD. Santa gave the TV to another child as a present27. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lucy didn't want the tree to be moved?A. Santa would not know where the tree was.B. Santa would be angry and would not give her any gifts.C. Her big brother might laugh at her.D. Santa might think she was a "bad" child.CMUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which aretheir home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire.But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of the movie—is always all around.28. Which of the following is NOT true about the two children?A. They were both excited about receiving the award.B. They had been having a difficult life in India.C. They were interviewed before they went back home.D. They were the only two child stars in the movie, Slum dog Millionaire.29. What can we infer from the text?A. The two children have played in other movies before.B. Rinoms’s mother also went to the Hollywood.C. Rubina may not get used to the American food.D. They will travel to other countries before returning home.30. What will happen to the two children after they return to India?A. They will go back to the miserable life.B. They will play in movies as famous actors.C. They will leave school to learn acting.D. They will have a better education.31. According to the author, the value of the movie is that ________.A. it has been given an Oscar AwardB. it has made the two children famousC. it has become popular all over the worldD. its central theme has become known to the publicDThere were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing.Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.32. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the Us33. The underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution34. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.35. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis. As a matter of fact, we can see this 36 at work inpeople of all 37 . For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about 38 with their new toys. But their 39 soon wears off and by January those 40 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 41 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 42 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 43 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 44 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 45 but are soon looking forward to 46 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 47 , who now complain (抱怨) about the long drives to work, 48 drove for hours at a time when they first 49 their driver’s license (执照)? Before people retire, they usually 50 to do a lot of 51 things, which they never had 52 to do while working. But 53 after retirement , the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they 54 . And , like the child in January, they go searching for new 55 .36.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research._____56_______ Try the following steps:Calm yourself. ______57_______ Y ou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. _____58_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you._____59______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. Y ou may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. _____60______ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G.

But do you know who wrote the song andfor whom it was written?The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lucasville, USA could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two o f Mr. Archibald Hill’s aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning to you, good morning to you, dear children, good morning to all.” This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten c hildren. But not many grown-ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday” to the melody（曲调）of “Good Morning to you” to her little nephew（侄子）. She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!Happy birthday, dear Archie! Happy birthday to you!Miss Patty Hill and her sister had never expected that this song would become so popular,but it really did. People all overthe world like the song because of its simplicity in tune（曲调简单）and friendliness in words.41. Archibald A. Hill was __________.A. EnglishB. RussianC. AmericanD. Australian42. Professor Archibald A. Hill was Miss Mildred Hill’s __________.A. sonB. studentC. brotherD. nephew43. The song “Happy Birthday” has a history of __________years.A. 97B. about 90C. more than 90D. less than 9044. Why did Miss Hiss wrote songs?A. Because they are musicians.B. Because they love children.C. Because they were asked to write for a book.D. Because their nephew asked them to do so.45. The sentence “it really did” means __________.A. The song really became popularB. Their wish would really come trueC. People all over the world like to listen to the songD. Ye s, but the song didn’t become popularBWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried abouthow the grizzly bear and mountainlion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. Infact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist inthe U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.“Eco-passages” may help animals cross the road wit hout being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders （火蜥蜴）and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!46. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that __________.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving condition has improved greatlyC. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidentsD. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work47. From the story, we know an eco-passage is __________.A. an underground path for carsB. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a riverD. a path for animals to cross the road48. When the writer says that “animals seem to be catching on” ,he means __________.A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadB. animals are crossing the road in groupsC. animals are increasing in numberD. animals begin to learn to use eco-passages49. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because __________.A. wild animals may attack carsB. they may see wild animals on eco-passagesC. they may see wild animals in the parkD. wild animals may jam the road50. The best title for the passage is __________.A. Special bridges help animals cross the roadB. Endangered animals increase because of roadkillC. Animals fail to cross the roadD. Take steps to protect animals in dangerCI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then.I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.” My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just waita little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.51. How did the author get to know America?A. From radio programsB. From books and picturesC. From her motherD. From her relatives52. Upon leaving for America the author felt __________.A. excitedB. confusedC. worriedD. amazed53.

The author believes that __________.A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps tryingDWhen did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements.First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finallythe heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system （循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away." 56. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that __________.A. they must reach the age of 60B. they should be easy to make friends withC. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsD. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February57. Doctors __________.A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyB. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming58. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that __________.A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueB. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winterC. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highD. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water59. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for __________.A. they can remain youngB. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life60. The passage is mainly about __________.A. a group of cold-water swimming loversB. the polar bears' lifeC. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmingD. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共60分)第一节：阅读填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)“Cool”is a word with many meanings. Its traditional meaning is used to show a temperature that is fairly cold. It is often used to describe autumn. As the word has changed, however, the word has expanded to take on many other different meanings.“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. And it can often be heard in teenagers’ language.When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help saying, “How cool it is!” You might think , “He is cool.” if you see your favorite football player.We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”, “wonderful”, “unbelievable”, or “amazing”. An interesting story can be used to illustrate the usage of the word. A teacher asked her students to describe the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper there was nothing but one sentence, “It’s so cool that I love it very much..”Perhaps he thought the word “cool”was the best one to describe what he saw and felt. It can be understood that the water of the waterfall was cool, or the scenery of the waterfall was extraordinarily beautiful, or when the student watched the water falling down from high with loud sound , he felt very happy.But the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. Without “cool ”some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is necessary to improve our word strength to maintain some richness.As a popular word, “cool stands for a kind of special culture that people can accept easily. Except “cool” ,can you think of many words that make your life as colorful? I can. And I think they are also very cool.Its______(1)_______meaning Fairly coldIts enlarged meaning 1.new2._____(2)_____3.______(3)_____4.______(4)_____It can be used to ______(5)_____ 1.feeling of______(6)____2.something favoriteIt is often used by _______(7)_______The student perhaps used “cool”todescribe1.the water of the waterfall2.the beautiful _____(8)___3.his feeling of _____(9)__Too much use of the word “cool” shows The shortage of ________(10)第二节：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）11.They are now _____________(争吵）about whether to go or not.12.Here is my card.

Perhaps you’ve tracked how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve 51 ina day.If so, you’ve 52 a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individualsgather information about their daily activities in this widespread movement, also calledself-tracking. This may sound 53 , but technology is making the process easier.Perhaps you’ve wanted to 54 a bad habit and couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze it to helpget a 55 lifestyle.Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly 56 wearablegadgets(工具), are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone UP, Google Glass or a smart watch to 57 personal data including hours slept, stress levels, heart rate and mood.So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to 58 what foods make him sleepy and modify his diet accordingly.Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. 59 , doctors have also helped patients to document parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health issues. 60 , it wasn’t until 2007 that Wired magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the 61 “Quantified Self.”Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its 62 . Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addiction(癖好). Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.While self-tracking doesn’t 63 that one’s quality of life will improve, it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. 64 , the Quantified Self Movement’s primary focus is 65 people to employ enough energy to make healthier choices.51.

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)In the 1850s, a vast wilderness separated California from the eastern U.S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow.William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St.Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks from extreme weather, hostile Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the rider s’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kansas. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided meals for people who were traveling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons for tired travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark. For a few dollars, you can tour the site. In a nearby visitor center, there is also a small gift shop and a theater where you can see films about the station.66. Why, mainly, did William Russell and his partners start the new service?A. To make mail delivery somewhat safer.B. To expand mail delivery to other nations.C. To dramatically speed up mail delivery.D. To reduce the high cost of mail delivery.67. What does this article imply about the work that the delivery people did?A. It continued for decades.B. It was widely imitated.C. It made investors rich.D. It was quite dangerous.68. What do we learn about Gerat Hollenberg from this article?A. The various fees that he charged.B. The age at which he went into business.C. The type of business he ran.D. The expenses which he had to pay.69. What has the Hollenberg Station become since the 1860s?A. A center for research.B. A tourist attraction.C. A set for movies.D. A social club.(B)It’s always great to experience a new location in a unique way. For those brave travelers who enjoy testing exciting stunts, rides and thrills, the members and editors of provided a list of the best spots to get an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush.70.

A sport name.C. A surf spot.D. A famous wave’s name.(C)Social networks have found a promising new source of advertising income: targeting users with ads for products they browsed online.The latest form of advertising, called “retargeting,”is expected to not only get more common, but increase worries over privacy.Most people are aware they are being watched online. They also know that the marketers who are tracking their movements are going to show them ads tailored to their interests.But many say it’s frightening when an ad for the product they eyed on one website begins popping up on Facebook. Analysts say these ads are only going to multiply because they are potentially very profitable for social networks under pressure from investors.With its new service called “Tailored Audiences,” marketers can reach consumers who have shown an interest in their brands, the company said.Retargeting is still a small part of the overall online advertising industry but it’s growing quickly because shoppers are clicking on the ads, according to emarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.Whether Twitter users will enjoy seeing these personalized ads or will be set apart by the more intrusive tracking remains to be seen.Twitter said it would disable the service for users who check the “Do Not Track”option in their browsers. Twitter users can also choose not to receive “promoted content” –advertising that appears in tweets and in trends on Twitter – by adjusting their privacy settings.But retargeted advertising may be a wake-up call for many users to how much of a data trail they leave that marketers can now follow back to their accounts.That’s just why the strategy is so effective – and why social networks are rolling out such ads, analysts say.People are much more likely to buy something they were already shopping for, said Larry Kim, founder of marketing firm WordStream.Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo have been tracking users across the Web to show them retargeted ads for years. It’s a more recent phenomenon on social networks.In retargeting, marketers use small text files called cookies. When users look at a particular item on a website, a cookie is placed on their browser. Marketers can then target FaceBook and Twitter users who recently visited their websites.No identifying information about users changes hands, FaceBook and Twitter say.“If you see an ad in your feed from a website you visited, the website doesn’t know it’s you specially seeing the ad, just a group of people who visited the website,”Williamson said, “…For some people, that is going to be a problem. For others it is going to be a benefit.”74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Retargeting is helping social networks make advertising earnings.B. Retargeting is becoming more and more popular among young people.C. Retargeting plays a positive part in all the network users’ life.D. Retargeting ads are forcing Twitter users to leave the website.75. What does the phrase popping up in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. becoming popularB. appearing unexpectedlyC. attacking suddenlyD. tracking quickly76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. No identifying information about users changes hands.B. Retargeting is beneficial to a special group of people.C. The website you visited will keep your personal information for you.D. Whether retargeting is safe to network users is still unclear for sure.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Strategy of Network MarketingB. The Source of Advertising IncomeC. The Trend of Targeted AdvertisingD. The Difference between Internet GiantsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to Hong Kong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel –a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, the kids have classes. Delphine boasts that all of Bethel’s kids are fluent in English before turning 18.The Gauvains and their three kids moved to the Philippines in 2012 after devoting 10 years to Bethel China. They still remain involved with Bethel’s leadership. And in their new location, they have opened a community center to help train people with work skills.

Write your answers on your answer sheet.People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behavior are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is __31__.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we __32__ certain characteristics and exhibit certain behavior. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two __33__ are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between supporters of each theory. The argument is often conveniently __34__ to as “nature and nurture”.Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by __35__and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory __36__ that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost __37__ shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic（机械论的）. They state that, like __38__, humans respond to environmental stimuli (刺激) as the basis of their behavior.Neither of these theories can yet __39__ explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two __40__ and that the debate will continue for a long time is certain.III. Reading Comprehension(45')Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages 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.Many animals 41.________ their food because they see it. So do humans.

A．helpful B．beneficial C．delicious D．good54. A．sugar B．salt C．water D．alcohol55. A．products B．produce C．goods D．productionSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.56. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.57. According to the author, the woman was probably ________.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past58. In the author’s op inion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photoD. The soft sunlight that summer day.59. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflection on _________A. the pleasure of travellingB. the art of photographyC. a particular life experienceD. a lost friendship(B)Welcome to the pumpkin weigh-off at Half Moon Bay (半月湾), California. The event has always been very popular among most pumpkin growers. Thousands of people line up along the city’s High Street and watch the proud pumpkin owners from across the country. Each pumpkin is carefully picked up by forklifts (叉式升降机) and placed on a digital weighing scale.Organizers are offering $30,000 in total prize money for a new record pumpkin entering Half Moon Bay. But in order to receive the “New Record Prize”, the grower will have to bring a pumpkin heavier than the 2,624-pound one grown by Mathias Willemijns in 2017. If the heaviest pumpkin in the contest is unable to surpass (超过) the record, its owner will receive $6 for every pound it weighs.When: Monday, October 9, 2018. Weighing will begin at 7 am and will end at 11 am. Growers will start lining the street as daylight breaks by 7 am.Where: I.D.E.S. Grounds, 735 Main Street, Half Moon Bay, California.Prize Money:New Record Pumpkin: $30,000 (in total)1st Place: $6 per pound2nd Place: $2,0003rd Place: $1,5004th Place: $1,0005th~10th Place: $500 each11th~20th Place: $100 eachSpecial Prizes: $500 for the most beautiful pumpkin, judged by the audience (color, shape and size).The top five pumpkins will be on display for the thousands of visitors to Half Moon Bay’s famous Art and Pumpkin Festival that will take place on October 14-15, 2018.60.How much will the grower receive if he/she brings the heaviest pumpkin weighing 2600 pounds?A.$2,000.B. $15,600.C. $30,000.D. $30,500.61. Who will decide on the most beautiful pumpkin?A. The growers.B. The art judges.C. The organizers.D. The audience present.62. What is the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce a popular festival.B．To inform the prize for a competition.C．To explain how to grow huge pumpkins.D．To attract more people to grow pumpkins.(C)Happy, angry, amazed—these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we're sending a message on our smartphones. That's a quick way of telling someone how we're feeling. Yes, emojis have become a vital tool for communication.The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word "emoji" comes from the Japanese words for "picture" and "character". The number of different images has dramatically increased since then and now we have a picture for every mood or situation.So now we are giving this new creation the visual "thumbs-up" but have you thought why we've become so addicted to using emojis? Professor Vyv Evans has written a book called The Emoji Code, saying "increasingly, what we're finding is that digital communication is taking over certain aspects of face-to-face interaction...one of the reasons why emojis are so popular is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves more effectively."Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language—they don't use words but some pictures so they can be easily interpreted whatever your native language is. However, the emojis can sometimes be misinterpreted—if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer, you may think he/she is angry when really he/she is saying he/she is clumsy!Emojis are a good way for showing similar feelings. But as linguist(语言学家) Neil Cohn says, "To many, emojis are an exciting evolution of the way we communicate, but to others, they are a linguistic Armageddon（大决战）."It does show there is a lot more to our communication than words alone but does this mean the decline in traditional writing?63.How do emojis help people in communication?A. They can interpret the foreign languages.B. They will take the place of face-to-face interaction.C. People can express their emotions effectively with emoijs.D. People can express themselves clearly with emojis at any time.64. Which of the following words can replace the underlined "thumbs-up"in Paragraph 3?A. doubtB. praiseC. ignoranceD. attention65. What do you probably mean by sending your friend an emoji of B hammer?A. You are awkward.B. You need a hammer.C. He/She loses his/her temper.D. He/She should apologize to you.66. What is Neil Cohn's opinion on emojis?A. They are not used by linguists.B. They will take over the traditional writing.C. They will become an international language.D. They bring convenience and challenges to language.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Virtual (虚拟) TeamsVirtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time. Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs. This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence, or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel.Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams.____67____. It is the way the team members communicate. They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. Due to more limited communication channels, the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected, and how the team is managed.____68____ One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. That is to say, when each person’s work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same moment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment. _____69____ Another important quality is communication skills. The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals, performance standards, andcommunication rules. People have various assumptions on what to expect from each other. _____70_____.One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team. The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.IV. Summary Writing (10')Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Now another American education icon may be disappearing: the hardbound (精装的) textbook. More and more school districts are replacing traditional textbooks with electronic ones. Electronic textbooks are usually accessed either through an online server or are downloaded to student laptops.In North Texas, Plano and Irving schools are introducing e-books into a few classrooms, and Lancaster school officials also are considering them. But no local district appears to be going as far as Forney. The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-books in every classroom for grades five to twelve.Officials point out several reasons for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of the students in the district is expected to double within five years. It’s difficult to know textbook needs in advance and some students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a “blank” laptop in a few hours.Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but there are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because they’re buying the instructional material. That may change as more and more districts move toward e-books.Today’ students have little trouble adj usting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley, who has taught at the Academy of Irving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers. “It’s harder for people who are right around my age and older.” said Ms. Cooley, 36. “I’m laptop-savvy, so I was ready for it, but those that aren’t are a little worrying.第II卷（共40分）I.

（18分） ①文化的传播可以通过比较的方式来实现。
为了说明中国文化中的朴素辩证思维的思想，我曾经对中美的文化思维差异进行过系统的比较，使得很多西方人更容易理解中国文化的博大精深。
比如说，我们的实证研究发现，中国人对犹太谚语小心你的朋友，而不是敌人深以为然，美国人则感到莫名其妙。
可见，中国人能够普遍运用辩证思维，美国人不太喜欢。
我们的民族文化中有大智慧，塞翁失马，焉知非福就是一种辩证思维，而这种辩证思维，对人类的认识和判断大有助益，能解决许多现实生活中的矛盾。
如果让美国人看一些矛盾信息，那么他们的态度就会出现极端，比如，你告诉美国股民有一支股票比他买的更好，他更加坚信自己买的是最好的；你向支持死刑的人展示反对死刑的证据，他愈发认定应该支持死刑。
反之，中国人容易妥协，倾向于。
美国人的思维误区导致他们往往把真实信息排除掉，中国人的问题则在于对错误信息的包容，虽然善良，却轻信盲从。
禅宗六祖惠能大师有首四句偈：菩提本无树，明镜亦非台，本来无一物，何处惹尘埃。
这四句即为超越自我意识的表达，是无我之境。
你很难跟外国人解释无我但我们发现中国人的这种无我思维有具体的行为体现，甚至可以找到神经定位，就在我们大脑的背侧前扣带回。
无我概念不是玄幻的宗教概念，而是人类处理矛盾信息的一个有效方法，可以找到生理依据，而且具有积极的心理效果。

The newest products are designed to make our lives easier, fun and more productive.A car with legsOne of this year’s presentations was by South Korean carmaker Hyun-dai. The company introduced a small model of a “ walking car,” which is called Elevate. It has four movable legs that can raise the main part of the vehicle high off the ground. The electric-powered vehicle is designed to be used in search-and-rescue operations during emergencies or natural disasters.Changeable people moverGermany's Mercedes presented an experimental self-driving vehicle that it claims can revolutionize transportation for people and goods.

So far this year, Chinese box office has already topped 58 billion yuan, the China Film Administration said. This indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has 67,000 cinema screens. the most of any country, and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with 22 countries (including the United States, Canada, Japan. India etc.) ,Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).With the country’s huge native market, which produced more than 1,000 films in 2019, Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the films, in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal. Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options.4. What is the purpose of the Taihu World Cultural Forum?A. To strengthen cultural exchanges.B. To build more cinemas in China.C. To invite more tourists to Taihu.D. To attract more international investment.5. What can we infer about Cao Yin’s opinion in Paragraph 2?A. Chinese box office has already overtaken the United States so farB. The screens of Chinese cinemas will be world-leading in the futureC. China has signed the most coproduction agreements with other countriesD. There will be more and more cooperations between Chinese filmmakers and other countries.6. How do Chinese filmmakers feel about selling their movies to the world right now?A. Easy.B. Disappointed.C. Challenged.D. Confused.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Box Office: Unclear FutureB. China: Top Second Movie MarketC. Cinema: The Leading Cultural PositionD. Chinese Filmmakers: Severe Competition SituationCJon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.8. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?A. Negative.B. Colorful.C. Independent.D. Selfish.9. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A. Do business with the local people.B. Help farmers increase potato output.C. Assist villagers with construction work.D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.10. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.C. To train them to become doctors in the future.D. To make them learn about different cultures.11. What is the best title for the text?A. From millionaire to mud hutB. A life-changing adventureC. A rich man becoming homelessD. More money, more worriesDIn 2002, young Elon Musk tried unsuccessfully to buy Russian rockets to help him send mice to Mars and back. Afterwards, the youngmillionaire decided to build his own rockets.Musk went to Southern California and started hiring people to help bring his dream to life. In a very short time, and despite some failures, his company SpaceX launched Falcon 1, the first successful privately-built liquid fuel rocket, into Earth's orbit in 2008.As the first Falcon rocket began testing, development was already underway for the Falcon 9. This much larger rocket, which uses nine engines to lift heavy payloads（有效载荷）into orbit, is engineered to return to Earth, ready to be reused for another flight.For Musk, space is the final destination. To help people get there, his company Neuralink is developing devices that will link people's brains with computers. A similar device has been developed at the University of Utah. It consists of a chip（芯片）with 256 threads（线程）that is placed between a person's skin and brain. The threads attach directly to brain tissue（脑组织）.Patients who have the device are able to use only their minds to communicate with one another through computers.Neuralink's chips will have about 1,000 threads. A robot developed by the company will place up to ten chips under a person's skin. The chips will communicate without wires but with a tiny device that will be worn behind the person's ear. That device, in turn, will communicate with computers. The primary market for the technology will be for people that, because of injuries or birth defects, cannot control their hands and arms. With Neuralink^ product, they'll be able to mentally command a computer to type messages for them or carry out other tasks.12. According to this article, what was the first Falcon 1 able to do?A. Launch big satellites.B. Reach distant moons.C. Move around our planet.D. Study the universe.13. What does the article explain about Neuralink's chips?A. How they'll be set up.B. What safety features they'll have.C. How much money they'll earn.D. Where they'll be produced.14. According to this article, who is Neuralink going to market its product to first?A. Those who own great wealth.B. Those who are physically disabled.C. Those who travel internationally.D. Those who do research on plants.15. In which publication is this article most likely to appear?A. The Journal of Environmental Studies.B. Advances in Business and Technology.C. Digest of Fashion and Entertainment News,D. Consumer's Guide to Outdoor Recreation.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

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)In the 1850s, a vast wilderness separated California from the eastern U.S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow.William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks from extreme weather, hostile Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the rider s’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kansas. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided meals for people who were traveling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons for tired travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark.

They also know that the marketers who are tracking their movements are going to show them ads tailored to their interests.But many say it’s frightening when an ad for the product they eyed on one website begins popping up on Facebook. Analysts say these ads are only going to multiply because they are potentially very profitable for social networks under pressure from investors.With its new service called “Tailored Audiences,”marketers can reach consumers who have shown an interest in their brands, the company said.Retargeting is still a small part of the overall online advertising industry but it’s growing quickly because shoppers are clicking on the ads, according to emarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.Whether Twitter users will enjoy seeing these personalized ads or will be set apart by the more intrusive tracking remains to be seen.Twitter said it would disable the service for users who check the “Do Not Track” option in their browsers. Twitter users can also choose not to receive “promoted content”–advertising that appears in tweets and in trends on Twitter – by adjusting their privacy settings.But retargeted advertising may be a wake-up call for many users to how much of a data trail they leave that marketers can now follow back to their accounts.That’s just why the strategy is so effective – and why social networks are rolling out such ads, analysts say.People are much more likely to buy something they were already shopping for, said Larry Kim, founder of marketing firm WordStream.Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo have been tracking users across the Web to show them retargeted ads for years. It’s a more recent phenomenon on social networks.In retargeting, marketers use small text files called cookies. When users look at a particular item on a website, a cookie is placed on their browser. Marketers can then target FaceBook and Twitter users who recently visited their websites.No identifying information about users changes hands, FaceBook and Twitter say.“If you see an ad in your feed from a website you visited, the website doesn’t know it’s you specially seeing the ad, just a group of people who visited the website,” Williamson said, “…For some people, that is going to be a problem. For others it is going to be a benefit.”74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Retargeting is helping social networks make advertising earnings.B. Retargeting is becoming more and more popular among young people.C. Retargeting plays a positive part in all the network users’ life.D. Retargeting ads are forcing Twitter users to leave the website.75. What does the phrase popping up in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. becoming popularB. appearing unexpectedlyC. attacking suddenlyD. tracking quickly76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. No identifying information about users changes hands.B. Retargeting is beneficial to a special group of people.C. The website you visited will keep your personal information for you.D. Whether retargeting is safe to network users is still unclear for sure.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Strategy of Network MarketingB. The Source of Advertising IncomeC. The Trend of Targeted AdvertisingD. The Difference between Internet GiantsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to Hong Kong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel – a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, the kids have classes. Delphine boasts that all of Bethel’s kids are fluent in English before turning 18.The Gauvains and their three kids moved to the Philippines in 2012 after devoting 10 years to Bethel China. They still remain involved with Bethel’s leadership. And in their new location, they have opened a community center to help train people with work skills.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78.
