Then he 22 placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the 23 and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, 鈥淚s this jar 24 ?鈥?Everyone in the class said, 鈥淵es.鈥?鈥淩eally?鈥?Then he 25 under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel锛堟矙鐮撅紝鐭冲瓙锛夛紝dumped some in and 26 the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space 27 the big rocks.

Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, 鈥淲hat is the 32 of this illustration?鈥?It is such a seemingly easy question that one 33 student raised his hand and said, 鈥淚t is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always 34 some more things in it.鈥?鈥淣o,鈥?the speaker replied, 鈥淭he truth it teaches us is that you will 35 get them in at all if you don鈥檛put the big rocks in first. 36 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and 37 for yourself.

Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited us several times already. 鈥淲hat are you doing out there?鈥?I called to him. He looked up, smiling. 鈥淚鈥檓making you a surprise.鈥?Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise. Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out the window. Any yet鈥?I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (?, throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink ---- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind. Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs? My father鈥檚crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or fiveseasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: Hard times almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly. Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. 鈥淵ou鈥檝e got the winter depression again and you get them every year.鈥?I told myself. It was Dad鈥檚birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus. How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime. 41. According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that _________. A. the writer was unpacking when her father was making the surprise B. the writer knew what the surprise was because she knew her father C. it was not the first time that the writer鈥檚father had made a surprise D. it kept bothering the writer not knowing what the surprise was 42.

And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging. His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging. Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called 鈥渟hen鈥? According to Shen, it is the kidney锛堣偩鑴忥級which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper. We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves. So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young? This is where Dr. Shen鈥檚herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.46. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging? A. By studying Western medicine. B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine. C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine. D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people. 47. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according toShen? A. Medical treatment. B. People鈥檚good kidney. C. Level of people鈥檚activity. D. Positive life attitude. 48. The reason why people become old is that_________. A. their bodies produce T-cells B. their bodies are unable to fight diseases C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair D. they become weaker and weaker 49. We can probably learn from the passage that _________. A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young B. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health C. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body D. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen鈥檚herbal medicine isC As China becomes increasingly urbanized (鍩庡競鍖?, it has to find space for its urban and rural citizens as both groups become increasingly integrated. Experts suggest a possible model way may be 鈥渞e-inventing鈥?a 鈥済arden city鈥? China鈥檚mega-cities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing rural-urban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth. This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the world鈥檚largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora锛堝ぇ绉诲眳锛墂hen replaced rural communities are forced into the cities. On the other hand,a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the 鈥済arden city鈥? a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a long-term study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education. The concept is already practiced at the grassroot level. Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. It鈥檚common to see organic 鈥渉anging garden鈥?on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translate to tangible (= practical) benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables, a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, there鈥檙e fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruit --- all enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are doing. Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy, with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites.50. Some experts suggest re-inventing a 鈥済arden city鈥?because _________. A. it is the only model way to save the cities B. it helps stop destroying the rural areas C. increasing urbanization takes place in China D. China has the largest population to feed 51. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the experts鈥?concernabout the increase of population. B. To persuade people into supporting economic growth in cities. C. To explain the reasons for the change of rural-urban framework. D. To inform the readers of the consequences of quick urbanization. 52. In Hua Li鈥檚opinion, a combination of country and city will __________. A. benefit the environment and lower living costs B. become a project that needs a long-term study C. lead to more rural communities being replaced D. attract more farmers to take tours in cities 53. Zhang is mentioned (Paragraph 5) to show that __________. A. he achieves his dream to own a hanging garden B. hanging gardens are becoming more popular C. the garden contributes to a better neighborhood D. he is a pioneer to practise the gardening concept 54. As for the concept of the 鈥済arden city鈥? the writer feels_________. A. desperate B. hopeful C. disappointed D. concerned D Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that 3 years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it鈥檒l be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it鈥檒l be God himself who presses the stop button... Seven reasons are going about why the world will end in 2012 and netizens have started a discussion in the forum. 1锛嶮ayan Calendar The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things: Building highly accurate astrological锛堝崰鏄熸湳鐨勶級equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins. Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it鈥檚likely they鈥檝e got the end of the world right as well. 2. Sun Storms Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made an extremely discovery: our sun is a bit of conflict. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic (?, and it鈥檚supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solarstorms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, and it鈥檚been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it will reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012. 3. The Atom Smasher Scientists in Europe have been building the world鈥檚largest particle accelerator (绮掑瓙鍔犻€熷櫒). Basically it鈥檚a 27km tunnel designed to break atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the device has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it鈥檚properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They鈥檙e predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be squeezed into asuper-dense drop the size of a basketball. 4. The Bible says鈥?If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn鈥檛bad enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good and Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings. 5. Super Volcano Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple --- it鈥檚sitting on top of the world鈥檚biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we鈥檙e many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and suddenly moving the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang. 6. The Physicists This one is case ofbog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berkley University have been dealing with the numbers and they have determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they鈥檙e claiming their calculations proofthat we鈥檙e all going to die, very soon --- while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent --- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs. 7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG! We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us from most of the sun鈥檚radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a bad habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so 锟紺and right now we鈥檙e about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to apole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for ups to 100 years. The result is enough UV锛堢传澶栫嚎鐨勶級outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.55. Some people are convinced of Mayans鈥?prediction about the end of the world probably because _________. A. they had stone astrological equipment B. they calculated the lunar cycle highly accurately C. they could get close to the lunar moon D. they were the first group to predict things 56. According to solar experts, what have solar storms attacked the Earth with? A. Satellite power. B. Black holes. C. Radiation energy. D. Wind energy. 57. What does the writer mean by 鈥渞eligious folks are getting in on the act as well鈥?( Paragraph 6 )? A. Religions also have predictions about the end of the world. B. Religious people are taking action to solve the problem. C. Religions come up with different views from the scientists. D. Scientists do their research among the religious people. 58. According to Paragraph 7, we probably know that in Yellowstone National Park _________. A. the volcano erupts rather frequently B. springs are unknown by American people C. pressure under it is gradually gathering D. a volcanic eruption is unlikely to take place 59. The word 鈥渟hields鈥?(Paragraph 9) can best be replaced by _________. A. refreshes B. preserves C. replaces D. protects 60. What would the passage probably be if it鈥檚to be continued? A. Worst effects. B. Possible solutions. C. Humans鈥?measures.D. Netizens鈥?discussion.湁涓€椤逛负澶氫綑閫夐」銆?61. A Family Comes Back Home after Seven Years at Sea. 62. Floating Hotel Could Resist Rising Sea Levels. 63.

With 11 accommodation decks, a 360-degree observation area, its own dock, several swimming pools and as much space as a cruise liner, it鈥檚not so much a boat as a city.

However, that is what an American family has done. Tom Crafton and Kathy Crafton along with their three children have traveled across the world on their 43-foot sailboat. Over the past seven years the family had sailed 30,000 miles and visited more than 20 different countries. The family has recently come back to their homeland.D During a cruise through Svalbard in the Arctic, Swedish photographer Hans snapped a fame-hungrybear as he came out to pose for the excited crowd. Hans was on board the ship just taking in the view when he suddenly saw a head pop up from behind the ice about 15 yards away. The bear was yawning and seemed to be enjoying all the attention and walked over to the crowd. It waved twice. When it lifted his hand and waved again, Hans managed to capture the shot. E The rising sea waters caused by global warming have inspired a Russian architect to design a hotel that could be built on water as well as land. It鈥檚called 鈥淭he Ark鈥? but looks more like a ship sitting upside down on the water. A new design by Russian architect Alexander Remizov challenges the tradition of land-based hotel and would provide a shelter in the future ---- should the world face a modern-day flood of Biblical proportions. F Bora Bora is the most beautiful island in the world. It鈥檚so unbelievably attractive and so often used in pictorials as the perfect example of exotic islands, that some question its existence. But rest assured, this volcanic island with a palm-fringed coral reef that forms a small area of water so crystal clear that the Caribbean looks cloudy by comparison is very real and very achievable to world travelers and island lovers.闈為€夋嫨棰橀儴鍒嗭紙鍏?0鍒嗭級?锛堝叡涓よ妭锛屾弧鍒?0鍒嗭級?0鍒嗭級10?鈭э級锛屽苟鍦ㄥ叾涓嬮潰鍐欎笂璇ュ姞鐨勮瘝銆?鍒犻櫎锛氭妸澶氫綑鐨勮瘝鐢ㄦ枩绾匡紙锛硷級鍒掓帀銆??娉ㄦ剰锛?朵慨鏀瑰潎浠呴檺涓€璇嶏紱210澶勶紝澶氳€咃紙浠庣11澶勮捣锛変笉璁″垎銆?A little wave is jumping along in the ocean, having great time.

In front of their house was a small dirt road. Very few cars drove on this road because it was so far from the city. On the dirt road, there was a big hole filled with water. The hole was very deep, but drivers on the road didn't know just how deep. Drivers always drove into the hole, but they never drove out.One day, a man in a new car was driving down the road. He saw the hole with the water, but he didn't think it was very deep. He drove into the hole, but he couldn't drive out. The man saw the farmer on his tractor working in the field, and he signaled to the farmer. The farmer drove over to the man in the new car.“Is there a problem?”asked the farmer.“Yes,”said the man.“My car is stuck in this hole. Can you help me?”“Maybe,”said the farmer.“But I'm very busy.”“lf you help me, I'll pay you,”said the man.“OK,”said the farmer. The farmer pulled the car out of the hole with his tractor, and the man paid him a lot of money. The man looked at the farmer and said,“You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole day and night.”“Actually, no,”said the farmer.“Why not?”asked the man.“The hole is very deep, and a lot of people get stuck and ask for help. But I don't make money day and night because I don't pull cars out at night.”“At night I'm busy filling the hole with water,”answered the farmer.51. The reason why few cars drove on the small dirt road was that __________ .A. it had a long distance from the cityB. the couple was not polite enoughC. there was a big and deep holeD. drivers were afraid of being in the hole52. According to paragraph 2, we can know about the man in a new car __________ .A. he just learned to drive a carB. he knew the farmer in the fieldC. he knew how deep the hole wasD. it was the first time that he had passed there53. What did the farmer usually do at night?A. He helped pull out cars.B. He made money.C. He filled water to the holeD. He slept at home.54. What we can say after reading the text is that __________ .A. the couple was very poor.B. the farmer often helped others in trouble.C. the farmer was immoral.D. the farmer didn’t want to make money at night.BDo you know the kite was originally called Zhiyuan in North China, and Yaozi in South China? Early in the Five dynasties, a man named Li Ye used to make and fly a kite in the emperor's court. He once attached a whistle made of bamboo to the kite. Sound was let out when the kite was flying. The kite was named after Zheng, a kind of Chinese music instrument. Then it was named Fengzheng in Chinese.The earliest kite in the world was made by Motse, a famous Chinese philosopher, who lived 2,300 years ago, for military (军事的)purposes. He spent three years making an eagle and managed to fly it. The eagle was later regarded as the first kite in the world. Kite-flying became a recreation probably from the Tang dynasty when the royal family and people of the highest class were addicted to it. It was said that the Emperor Xuanzong in the Tang dynasty once was interested in a kite named Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea flying in the air. Later, the paper-made kite was invented, which cost less and spread quickly among the common people. As time went by, kites flew to various countries in the world. 'The well-known British scientist, Dr. Needham, once described kites as an important scientific invention which spread to Europe from China in his book, A History of China's Science and Technology. The invention of the kite inspired men’s dream of flying and led to the invention of the airplane.55. The kite made by Li Ye was named after a Chinese music instrument because __________ .A. it was made of bambooB. it looked like a whistleC. Li Ye was a musicianD. it could sound in the sky56. What led to the invention of the kite according to the passage?A. Wars.B. An eagle.C. Motse's interest in animals.D. Motse's dream of flying.57. Why was kite-flying not a popular recreation among common people at first?A. Because they were too busy to fly kites.B. Because they were not allowed to fly kites.C. Because it was expensive to make kites.D. Because it was difficult to make kites.58. Which of the following statements might Dr. Needham agree with?A. The Chinese people first tried to invent airplanes.B. The Chinese spread the idea of flying to Europe.C. The invention of kites in China is great.D. The invention of kites achieved the dream to fly.CYour mother was wrong: Sitting up straight is bad for you.Scottish radiologists confirmed in a study last year that bending back 130 degrees between body and the upper part of legs reduces pressure on the discs (椎间盘) in the lower back. This is why the Aeron chair was so ahead of its time in 1994.But designers find that the features of chairs like the Aeron are lost on most sitters. Tension from bending back, lumbar (腰部的) support and seat pan depth are commonly ignored by users, who only think to change the chair's height.This neglect has manufacturers such as Herman Miller and Human scale looking toward the next frontier: a self-adjusting chair. “We're working on a chair that will listen to who's sitting on it and adjust itself to their weight,”says Bill Dowell, director of research at Herman Miller, which makes the Aeron. Human scale’s Freedom chair includes a counterbalance system (平衡系统)that adjusts itself according to the sitter's weight as he or she bends back.Or perhaps the chair of the future isn't one at all. Chairs contribute in part to the high rate of back pain, which affects eight out of ten Americans.“Our idea of a machine for sitting may not make sense in a globalized world,”says Herman Miller designer Cameron Campbell. Galen Cranz of the University of California at Berkeley points out in her book The Chair that the Indian practice of squatting(蹲)and the Muslim practice of stretching five times a day to pray have great ergonomic (工效学的)benefits. Ten years from now, one worker may settle into a low recliner (躺椅) , another will kneel on a soft carpet, and they’ll talk across a pile of office cushions.59. Why was the Aeron chair so popular once?A. It was just newly invented.B. It could cure many diseases.C. It offered comfort and health to sitters.D. It changed people's ideas about sitting position.60. The second paragraph mainly tells us that the Aeron chair__________ .A. had many weaknesses beforeB. wasn't made full use ofC. needed improving timelyD. could be changed in height61. What most probably makes the Freedom chair attract its sitters?A. Its ability to adjust itself.B. Its cheap price.C. Its understanding of sitters' words.D. Its different appearance.62. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________ .A. workers all need a low reclinerB. the future chairs will not sell wellC. the future chairs will satisfy different people's needsD. the globalized chairs are in great needDATHENS - German Chancellor(总理) Angela Merkel on Tuesday pledged(保证) support for debt-laden Greece, which has "taken significant steps", while calling for the austerity(紧缩) and reform drive to continue during a six-hour visit to Athens."Significant steps have been taken, a major part of the road has been covered. It is worthwhile to reach the finish line so that the situation will not worsen," she said in joint statements to the press after talks with Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras at his office.It was Merkel's first visit to Greece since the outbreak of the financial crisis in Europe. A strong supporter of austerity, she noted her short stay helped her "better understand" the pain of the Greek people."I hope and wish Greece will stay in the euro. We will boost(提高) bilateral(双边的) cooperation and do whatever is necessary to support Greece. It is our common interest to restore credibility within the eurozone since when one gets sick, everyone is not well," she said.On Greece's part, Samaras reaffirmed(重申) his government's determination to fulfill commitments undertaken under helpful deals with European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders since 2010 in return of key multi-billion euros loans to help the country out."Greek people are bleeding, but are determined to stay in the euro. We don't ask for favors, but a chance to stand on our feet. Greece will meet its commitments as long as it stays in the euro and counters recession(不景气)" he said, adding that growth-oriented policies would follow beyond painful financial discipline measures."Those who bet on a Greek collapse and EU serious injury will lose," Samaras said, underlining the Chancellor's visit was a sign of faith that a new chapter has opened and Greece was on the way to recovery.The Greek government hopes Merkel's show of support ahead of an EU summit on Oct 18 will create a positive climate to clear further financial assistance to Greece to counter the crisis. However, an estimated 80,000 protesters took on the streets, blaming the German leader and Greek political leadership for their suffering.63. We can learn from what Merkel said that Greece’s staying in the euro benefits _______.A. only GreeceB. only GermanyC. Greece and GermanyD. all the countries in the eurozone64. Which of the following is true according to Samaras?A. Greek people are sick.B. Merkel's show of support is not in time.C. Germany is to blame for Greek suffering.D. The Greek government has confidence in the recovery of economics after Merkel’s visit.65. The writer intended to tell the readers that_______A. Germany is responsible for Greece and EU.B. The economical environment in Greece is worse than Germany.C. Gree ce has taken “significant steps”.D. Greek people object to German support.66. From the passage we can come to the conclusion about Merkel that_______A. She is popular in Greece because of pledging support for debt-laden Greece.B. She thinks Greece only ask for more money.C. She is an unpopular figure in Greece, due to Germany’s central role in pushing for theausterity in the country.D. She is unsatisfied with Greece which made little immediate progress in the austerity.EWASHINGTON - The groundless accusations by a US House committee against Huawei put tens of thousands of US jobs in jeopardy and are likely to cause huge damage to the US economy, says a Huawei executive.William Plummer, the company's US vice-president of external affairs, voiced the warning on Monday in response to a House Intelligence Committee report that accuses Huawei and another Chinese telecommunications firm, ZTE, of posing a threat to US national security.The House report recommends that US government computer systems and private companies should exclude any equipment from the two firms. It also urges the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States to stop acquisitions, takeovers, or mergers involving the two companies.However, the 52-page report fails to give concrete evidence to support the accusations the committee gave against Huawei, which Plummer said sustains(提供岗位) hundreds of American companies and tens of thousands of American employees."The American people deserve clear facts if they are going to lose tens of thousands of jobs, hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and billions of dollars purchase in US products and if they have to pay more for their broadband," Plummer told Xinhua.Commenting on the conspiracy(阴谋) theory that Huawei worked with the Chinese government in espionage(谍报活动) against the United States, Plummer said that the accusation ignores both commercial and technical realities.Firstly, he said, the report failed to recognize that the telecommunications industry features a global supply chain and that cyber vulnerability(易受打击) is a universal problem."What we need is a global standard that raised the bar for everyone," he said.Secondly, as a profit-oriented(以赢利为导向的) business, Huawei is not going to risk losing billions of dollars business for anyone, he added.Thirdly, if a company works with a government to conduct espionage, thousands of its employees would be involved, which would make the activities unrealistic, he said."It sets a very dangerous market distorting(扭曲的) policy model that other markets now may choose to use against American companies doing business overseas," said Plummer.Huawei, he said, has been cooperating openly and in good faith with the committee in the past 11 months, but the committee "never intends to conduct an objective investigation.""We are trusted globally," said Plummer. "Five hundred operators in 150 countries, including major carriers in every developed and most developing markets, have deployed(调度) our gear without any issues."67. What does the underlined words mean?A. in allB. increasinglyC. in orderD. in danger of loss68.The meaning of the words Plummer said in the last but two paragraph is similar to______A. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.B. The US House committee will conduct an objective investigation later.C. American companies overseas don’t work with American government in espionage.D. Huawei and ZTE are trusted globally.69. We can infer from the text that_______ .A. Huawei poses a threat to US national security.B. Huawei works smoothly in other countries.C. Huawei is a profit-oriented company.D. Americans hate Huawei.70. What would be the best title for the text?A. Groundless report threatens US jobs.B. Chinese companies in the USA need protection.C. Huawei and ZTE are innocent.D. Espionage is a universal problem.第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分50分)第一节:完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)。

AJonny Jones was a nice and popular boy, who everyone loved.He was so much fun, so good and so kind to everyone that they treated him wonderfully. But as everything he needed was given to him without asking, Jonny became a weed. He was so spoiled by everyone that he couldn’t stand any hardship.One day Johnny heard a mother saying to her son “Come on, my boy, get up and stop crying. You are behaving like Johnny Jones.” That made Johnny feel very ashamed. But he was sure that he would prefer to be known as a good boy rather than a fool. Worried, he spoke to his father about all this, though he was afraid that maybe he would be laughed at for having such worries. His father, far from laughing at Johnny, told him that a teacher had taught him a secret trick to turn him into the toughest boy off all. “Eat a candy less, study a minute more, and count to five before crying.” Johnny asked, “Just that? ”“Yes, just that,” said his father, “It’s very simple, but I warn you that it won’t be easy.”Johnny was happy like a bird, ready to follow the advice. He went to see his mother, and she noticed how happy he was when she offered him candies. “One candy less”, thought Johnny, so he only took one. That afternoon he had another chance to put it into practice by studying one minute more. The result was that he missed the first minute of his favorite program! But having achieved this gave him a great feeling of satisfaction. The same happened when he ran up against the corner of the kitchen table. He only managed to count to four before crying, but that was left deeply in his mother’s memory.Over the following days Johnny kept using the motto in his life as his father told him. And the more he put this into practice ,the easier it got. Before long he realized that he could also do things that would seem impossible before.51.The underlined word "weed" in the first paragraph refers to ____.A.a person with a strong v/illB.a person with a weak characterC.a person who isn't popular with everyoneD.a person who changes his behavior according to the situation52.What made Jonny Jones decide to change himself?A.A mother's words.B.Others' attitude to him.C.His father's advice.C.His teacher's warning.53.What is the key point of the advice from Jonny's father?A.Eat fewer candies than before.B.Count to five before crying.C.Talk with parents and follow their advice.D.Learn to control oneself and keep using the motto in life.54.What message does the writer want to convey through the story?A.One should be brave to face his mistakes.B.Nothing is difficult as long as you set your mind on it.C.Spoilinga child too much may result in his selfish behaviors.D.A strong will can be developed by small but consistent efforts.BIt must be something in the air as every company that possibly can is having a baby contest.Of course, babies are wonderful, and many parents would be the first to agree.

Studies suggest “lucid dreams(清醒梦)”where we coutrol the action are on the rise. In the movie, a dream world can be controlled at will. But for more and more of us, it is becoming a reality, with the number of people experiencing lucid dreams rising quickly. In the film, Leonardo DiCapris AND Ellen Page walk through a dream world where they are able to bend streets into the sky, walk up on the wall and destroy a café by the force of will.While the plot of a lucid dream may not be dramatic, the process is similar, people having a lucid dream realize they are dreaming and may fro then on “direct”the action. Or they may simply “watch” the dream unfold.The sense of awareness makes it different from the a dream that is simply extremely vivid and true to life. And while the description may seem fantastic, the process is familiar to many of us.Studies suggest that the number of people in the Western world experiencing the lucid dream sometimes has risen by between 10% and 40% since the 1980s. today, they are so common that about one in eight of us will have one in our lives. Despite this, little is known about what causes them – or what is behind the rise.Research carried out at the respected Harvard University in the US showed the brain to be hard at work during lucid dreams. In fact, the level of mental activity in some parts of the brain was similar to that of a person awake.Lucid dreamers seem to share certain individual character. For instance, they are creative and believe in personal responsibility rather than letting society solve the problem. Scientists of course, do not know the function of dreams in general, far less that of lucid ones.Our nightmares may reflect or waking concerns. And previous research has found that women have more nightmares than men. Their dreams are also more intense (紧张的) and leave more of an impression when they wake up.59.According to Paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE?A.The film Inception is based on reality.B.One can be controlled at will during lucid dreams.C.One can almost do anything by will in the film Inception.D.One is completely awake while he is doing lucid dreams.60.Lucid dream is different from a common dream for its .A.dramatic process B.sense of awarenessC.unknown cause D.clear impression61.What’s the probable task in the future for the scientists?A.To study what on earth causes lucid dreams.B.To study what characteristics lucid dreams reflect.C.To prevent more and more people doing lucid dream.D.To study how often one can “direct” his action in “lucid dreams.”62.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A.The function of lucid dreams.B.The reason why people often do lucid dreams.C.The fact that more and more people do lucid dreams.D.The new research related to lucid dreams.DForget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed (油菜籽) oil – the latest source of biofuel could be waterinelons. Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.And because sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard”fruit annually in America alone they could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.In the study, researchers at the US Deparument of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons –those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field.About a fifth of each annual watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.Dr Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.“We’ve shown that the juice of these melons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing and unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production.” he said.The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.Production of biofuels has been targeted by western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.The European Union has a target for 2013 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2013 to be biofuel.63.The passage mainly tells us .A.watermelons could be used to make fuelB.western countries aim at producing bifuelsC.fuel made from watermelons has many advantagesD.watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy64.We can learn from the text that .A.about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acreB.sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every yearC.half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energyD.five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2013 in Britain 65.The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.inside B.flavor C.freshness D.appearance 66.We can infer from the passage that .A.it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelonsB.the EU is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sourcesC.western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to goD.watermelon juice has been used as a resource of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel.EWhen you need a job very much, you may end up taking one for which you are overqualified. Although you were initially grateful just to have the work, you now feel bored and depressed. Is there any way to change that?Start by changing you opinion, says Caitlin Kelly, the author of Malled, a book based on her experience as a sales clerk after losing her job in journalism. “Don’t focus on what you’re not getting but what you are getting,” she says. “Be patient and work attentively with a wide range of people. It doesn’t matter what the job is – there are always things you can learn and skills you can develop.”Hilary Pearl, the founder of a coaching firm, says, “Tell yourself the current situation isn’t the end of your career. Don’t overdramatize (过分夸大) the negative aspects but try to view the situation more philosophically: life has a series of stages, and this is one of them. Don’t forget to study even in the worst stage.”Consider that because you’ re overqualified, you may be able to learn or do things on the job that might not have been possible in a more demanding position, says Sarah Hawthorn, the chief executive of Illustrate Consulting. “You could spend your extra time in learning different aspects of the business and teaching others in the organization.” she says.Is it possible to make you work more challenging, even if your job responsibilities aren’t likely to change?Of course, you make seek tasks and responsibilities that force you to learn something new or to work harder. “You may be operating on autopilot (习惯性地) right now, but chances are that people above you are stressed,” Sarah Hathorn says. “Take things off you boss’s plate and let him, know which projects or tasks you want to learn more about.”Always express you request positively, saying that you love new challenges, rather than complaining that you are bored and underused, says Ethun, the president of the Park Avenue Group. In your down time, educate yourself about the company and its industry. “Read corporate information, analys reports and related news articles,”she says, “If your boss accepts your suggestions, it will make you a more valuable employee.”67.According to Caitlin Kelly, .A.one should be wiling to do something importantB.fulfilling your regular duties well is importantC.being a salesman is not as important as being a journalistD.doing a simple job well will bring you a sense of success68.What Hilary Pearl intends to express is that .A.work is just a stage of our whole lifeB.the present job doesn’t matter to us in a long runC.one should be satisfied with his present situationD.one should look forward instead of complaining about the present situation69.The underlined words “Take things off your boss’s plate” mean .A.share your boss’s burden B.draw your boss’s attentionC.give your boss useful advice D.ask your boss for a better position 70.What is the common view about career of people mentioned in the passage?A.One should start his career from doing a simple job.B.One should improve himself and help others as well.C.One should keep learning new things to improve himself.D.One should pay attention to the relationship with the boss.第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分50分)第一节:完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)阅读下列各小题,根据汉语提示,括号内的英语单词完成句子,并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。
