1．（8分）Brooke has just turned 12，with seven world records，is one of the best rock climbers in the world．Brooke comes from a climbing family．Both her parents are just past climbing champions．Her father stopped climbing some years ago，but her mother，Robyn，who won four world cup titles four years in a row，is still climbing．She runs a club for young climbers in Colorado，USA and coaches Brooke and her teammates．Sometimes it's difficult for mother and daughter to work together so closely，but they really respect and trust each other and Brooke says her mum is a great coach．Brooke says that her mother gives her a lot of good advice and it is a very important part of her climbing life．Robyn can be strict，but she is also passionate about climbing，and she passes this passion on to her students．

2．（8分）Papa，as a son of a dirt﹣poor farmer，left school early and went to work in a factory，for education was for the rich then．So，the world became his school．With great interest，he read everything he could lay his hands on，listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown．"There's so much to learn．"he'd say．"Though we' re born stupid，only the stupid remain that way．"He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education．
Thus，Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day．Though，as children，we thought this was crazy，it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request．And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned．We would talk about the news of the day；no matter how insignificant，it was never taken lightly．Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment，always to the point．Then came the moment﹣the time to share the day's new learning．
Papa，at the head of the table，would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine，ready to listen．"Felice，"he'd say，"tell me what you learned today"．"I learned that the population of Nepal is .."Silence．Papa was thinking about what was said，as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it．"The population of Nepal．Hmm．Well…"he'd say．"Get the map，and let's see where Nepal is．"And the whole family went on a search for Nepal．
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn．Dinner ended only after we had
a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts．
As children，we thought very little about these educational wonders．Our family，however，was growing together，sharing experiences and participating in one another's education．And by looking at us，
listening to us，respecting our input，affirming our value，giving us a sense of dignity，Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher．
Later during my training as a future teacher，I studied with some of the most famous educators．They were imparting what Papa had known all along﹣the value of continual learning．His technique has served me well all my life．Not a single day has been wasted，though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful．

A．The author's father was born in a worker's family．
B．Those born stupid could not change their life．
C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world．
D．The poor could hardly afford school education．

A．enjoyed talking about news
B．knew very well about Nepal
C．felt regretted about those wasted days
D．appreciated his father's educational technique
（3）What is the greatest value of"dinner time"to the author？

C．Family get﹣together．
D．Winning Papa's approval．
（4）The author's father can be best described as．
A．an educator expert at training future teachers
B．a parent insistent on his children's education
C．a participant willing to share his knowledge

3．（8分）Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day．UNESCO（United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization）recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music，its significance，and its
potential as a unifying voice across cultures．
Despite the celebrations，though，in the U．S．the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older，and the music has failed to connect with younger generations．
It's Jason Moran's job to help change that．As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz，Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz，make the music more accessible，and preserve its history and culture．"Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite．"Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan．"What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore．It's actually color，and it's actually digital．Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost．"The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958．It has to continue to move，because the way the world works is not the same，"says Moran．
Last year，Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party，"just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music，"says Moran．"For me，it's the re﹣contextualization．In music，where does the emotion lie？Are we，as humans，gaining any insight on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts？Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context，"says Moran，"so I want to continue those dialogues．Those are the things I want to foster．"
（1）Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day？
A．To protect cultural diversity．
B．To recognize the value of jazz．
C．To remember the birth of jazz．
D．To encourage people to study music．
（2）What does the underlined word"that"in paragraph 3 refer to？
A．Jazz becoming more accessible．
B．The jazz audience becoming larger．
C．The production of jazz growing faster．
D．Jazz being less popular with the young．
（3）What can we infer about Moran's opinion on jazz？
A．It will disappear gradually．
B．It remains black and white．
C．It should keep up with the times．
D．It changes every 50 years．
（4）The best title might be．
A．Celebrating the Jazz Day
B．The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C．Exploring the Future of Jazz
D．The Story of a Jazz Musician
4．（8分）What makes us happy？
There has long been a notion that money buys happiness．However，although"we really，really tried that for
a couple of generations，it didn't work，"said Francine Jay，author of The Joy ofLess，A Minimalist Living Guide：
How to Declutter，Organize，and Simplify Your Life．
Thanks to a travel﹣inspired revelation（启发），Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12 years．"I always packed as lightly as possible，and found it exhilarating to get by with just a small carry﹣on bag，"she told CNN．"I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly，how amazing would it be to live this way？I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life．"
Jay decided to get rid of all her excess possessions and live with just the essentials．"I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences，rather than things．"
Jay is a follower of a movement called"minimalism（极简主义）"．Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world．They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and
a desire to live more simply．Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment，Leah
Watkins，a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand，told Stuff magazine in March．But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions．Depression with the materialism of our world isn't new．English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting this was back in I802，at the beginning of the industrial age，when he wrote，"Getting and spending，we lay waste our powers．"His preference was to go back to nature．Closer to our own times，the hippies（嬉皮士）of the 1960s also sought to"drop out"of modern life．
For many minimalists，the key is to unload．Without objects，they"believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that's where life happens，"wrote Stuff．
But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice？
"It's eliminating the excess﹣unused items，unnecessary purchases﹣from your life．Well，I may have fewer possessions，but I have more space…Minimalism is making room for what matters most，"said Jay．And"the real questions"，according to Duane Elgin，a US social scientist，are"what do you care about？
"and"what do you value？"
He told CNN．"It's important for people to realize minimalism isn't simply the amount of stuff we consume．It's about our families，our work，our connection with the larger world，our spiritual dimension．It's about how we touch the whole world．It's a way of life．"
（1）What was the author's main purpose in writing the text？
A．To report on the trend of minimalism．
B．To give tips on how to lead a happy life．
C．To argue whether money buys happiness．
D．To recommend one of Francine Jay's books．
（2）What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life？
A．A book she read．
B．Her desire to keep up with modern life．
C．A follower of minimalism she met on a trip．
D．The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly．
（3）The underlined word"eliminating"in Paragraph 9 probably means""
A．removing
B．distinguishing
C．accepting
D．improving
（4）Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with？
A．Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modern life．
B．Minimalism limits people's freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest．
C．Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives．
D．Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply．
5．（8分）Did you know that people who live in different parts of China have different habits and preferences？
For example，people from southern China prefer to eat vegetables，while people from northern China like
to cat meat．But what causes these differences？
According to a new study published in the journal Cell in October，gene variations（基因变异）might be responsible for these differences，Xinhua reported．
In the study，researchers from Chinese genome﹣sequencing（基因组测序）firm BGI collected genetic informationfrom 141.431Chinese women．The women came from 31 provinces and comprised 36 ethnic minority groups．
The researchers found that there are six gene frequencies that are different among people from both northern and southern China．They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have evolved，affecting their food preferences，immunities（免疫性）to illness and physical traits（特点），The New York Times reported．
The researchers reported that a variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people than it is in southern people．It helps people metabolize（新陈代谢）fatty acids（脂肪酸），which suggests a diet that is rich in meat．According to Xinhua，this is due to climate differences．Northern China is at a higher latitude（纬度），which means it's cold and dry throughout the whole year．This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in．Therefore，northerners tend to eat more meat．
The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups．Most people in southern China carry thegene CR1，which protects against malaria（疟疾）．This is because malaria was once quite common in southern China．In order to survive，the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease．However，people in the south are also more vulnerable to certain blood﹣borne illnesses，as they lack the genes to stop them．
Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners．Most northerners have the ABCCl1gene，which causes dry earwax（耳屎），less body odor and fewer sweat secretions（分泌），The New York Times reported．These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments．Southerners are less likely to have this gene，as it did not evolve in their population．
（1）What's the new study mainly about？
A．The genes of Chinese minority groups．
B．Habits of people from different regions of China．
C．Physical differences between northerners and southerners．
D．Differences in the genes of people from different parts of China．
（2）A variation of the gene FADS2 can help our body．
A．store fat
B．digest meat
C．fight disease
D．control body temperature
（3）The underlined word"vulnerable"is closest in meaning to．
A．unprotected
B．uninterested
C．generous
D．responsible
（4）Compared with people in southern China，most northerners．
a．are immune to malaria
b．catch blood﹣borne illnesses easily
c．have less body odor
d．sweat less frequently
A．ab
B．be
C．bd
D．cd

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
（1），so get help．Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses，here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you．Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well．Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well．（2）．so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you
shouldn't do．
（3）
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts，walk away！Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about．（4）．As far as we're concerned，there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking．Your audience can be your friends．
You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly，good public speaking training should treat you as a special one，with your own personal habits．（5）．Your training course should help you bring out your personality，not try to turn you into someone you're not．
A．You aren't like anybody else
B．You already do lots of things well
C．Turn your back on too many rules
D．Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E．Whatever the presentation，public speaking is tough
F．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
G．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse

9．and改为but；possibly改为possible；run前加is；carried 改为carries；with去掉；change 前and；√；
other 改为another；place 改为placing；more 改为most；
【解答】（1）and改为but 根据上文"It's hard to say for the rest of the world，"及下文"for hotel workers in Japan"可知两句话之间是转折关系，应用but ，但是．故答案是把and改为but．
（2）possibly改为possible 根据句意可知在日本，机器人工作看起来成为了可能．look+adj．，意为"看起来…"，因此应把副词possibly改为形容词possible，故答案是把possibly改为possible．
（3）run 前加is 根据句意可知The Henn﹣na﹣or Weird Hotel在句中是动作的承受者，因此应用被动语态，结构是be+done，在它的后面应加系动词is，故答案是在run前加is．
（4）carried 改为carries 根据上文"an English﹣speaking robotic dinosaur helps guests check in"，可知此句也是一般现在时，another robot 是第三人称单数形式，因此把carried改为carries ，故答案是把carried 改为carries．
（5）with去掉根据句意可知面部识别技术代替钥匙开门．replace，动词，意为"代替"．replace sth．with sth．，意为"用某物代替某物"，所以介词with在此句多余，故答案是把with去掉．
（6）change 前加and 根据句意可知感应器能感觉到你身体发热，而且能改变房间里的温度．change 是动词，在前面有逗号的情况下不能直接使用，因此应在它的前面加个连词and，句子才可正确．故答案
是在change 前加and．
（7）√此句无错误．
（8）other 改为another 根据句意可知公司现在正计划在日本再开100家机器人的旅馆．other ，意为"
另一个，另外"，用于两者中的另一个，another ，也意为"另一个"，用于三者或三者之上，也有"再"的意思．故答案是把other 改为another．
（9）place 改为placing 根据上文可知"Having robots "是句子主语，为了保持句子的一致性，place 应改为它的动名词形式placing，故答案是把place 改为placing．
（10）more 改为most 根据句意可推断旅馆经理Hideo Sawada想说，我们的目标是把它变成世界上最有效率的旅馆，应是形容词的最高级，因此more 改为most ，故答案是把more改为most．。
