My teacher Miss Benson was the kindest creature on the earth. I was going to marry her when I grew up—__21__ she would wait. I couldn’t bear to miss one precious moment of her presence by 22 the classroom. I always raised my hands when she called for volunteers to gather 23 and bring them to her desk. That was the best chore of all. It made 24 getting near enough to her. I would arrange and rearrange the papers until they were in perfect order.
I started pestering my mother to put extra fruit 25 my lunch. I was never brave enough to hand it to Miss Benson directly, though. Each day the delicacy was put unobserved on her desk. And the 26 was always the same. She would come in and sit down. “H ow nice!” She would pick the fruit up, then 27 the room. “What thoughtful little child brought me this?” No one claimed the honor, least of all me. “28 it be that I have a secret admirer?” she would ask. I would feel the red rising in my face, and I would sigh with 29 when Miss Benson put the fruit away and started the lesson.
One morning, the class was excited. The next day was Miss Benson’s birthday. My heart beat fast---I could give her something 30 . That afternoon was spent combing for wild flowers.
I found several kinds.
The next morning I hung back as others presented their gifts. 31 I went to the desk and gave the flowers to Miss Benson. She was pleased, and held it to 32 cheek for a moment.
The next Monday, Miss Benson was not in class. Then I was 33 to go to the principal’s office. When I arrived, I saw my mother. On a table were my flowers.
“Do you know 34 Miss Benson is today?” the principal asked.“ 35 , sir,” I answered.
“Miss Benson,” he said. “is in the hospital, and you sent her there!”I sat, 36 , in my chair.
“Do you know what you gave her?” he continued. I 37 , “some flowers.”
“Th ey were poisonous!” H e was angry. “How did you protect 38 when you picked them?”
“I didn’t know they were poison ous.” I cried.
I begged my mother to take me to the hospital. Miss Benson was in bed when we arrived. “I didn’t 39 to make you sick…” I said. Miss Benson smiled, “Y ou wanted to give me something special, didn’t you?” I was filled with happiness. She was not mad at me.“And I’ll tell you a secret,” she continued. “When I am married, if I have a 40 , I would like him to grow up just like you.”

Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists(考古学家)learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don’t break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.
It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history—normally, the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.
In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—buy it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man’s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!
Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man’s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.
How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn’t done heavy manual work in this life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn’t died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.
45. Which language does the word “archaeology” come from?
A. French.
B. Greek
C. Roman.
D. German。
46. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to _____.
A. letters
B. photographs
C. paintings
D. objects
47. Which of the following helped to preserve “Lindow Man”?
A. Ice and low temperature
B. Bacteria and oxygen
C. Soil and energy
D. Acid and water
48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. “Lindow Man” was named after the person who first found him.
B. Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.
C. “Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.
D. “Lindow Man” was good at manual work.
49. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. What Is Archaeology?

C. An Amazing Archaeological Discovery
D. The Death of “Lindow Man”
C
What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medic ine or any other science?
We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the
application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective(客观的) and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱).
He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.
Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.
50. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_________
A. knowledge only.
B. more than one aspect.
C. technology only.
D. the use of machines.
51. Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?
A. He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.
B. He is interested in problems that are explained.
C. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.
D. He looks for new ways of acting.
52. According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_______________.
A. easily believe in unchecked statements.
B. easily criticize others' research work.
C. always use his imagination in work.
D. always use evidence from observation.
53. Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?
A. complete
B. objective
C. complicated
D. accurate
54. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Application of technology.
B. Progress in modem society.
C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.
D. How to become a successful scientist.
D
Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular free time activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them automatically heads to the park or the river. It is my firm belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.
But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.
The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD (多动症). Those whose housing had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.
A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, the entire school would do better in studies.
Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.
Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School, with its hard tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners dreaming about wildlife.
But children are frequently discour aged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.
One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Y et one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.
The life of old people is much better when they have access to nature. The most important for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.
In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.
Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his
study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its process helps reduce anger and behavior that people might regret later.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.
We tend to think human beings are doing nature some kind of favour when we are protecting nature. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is damaging.
Human beings are a species of animals. For seven million years we lived on the planet as part of nature. So we miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a glass of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.
We need the wild world. It is necessary to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without other living things around us we are less than human.
55. What is the author’s firm belief?
A. People seek nature in different ways.
B. People should spend most of their lives in the wild.
C. People have quite different ideas of nature.
D. People must make more efforts to study nature.
56. What does the author say people prefer for their children nowadays?
A. Personal freedom.
B. Things that are natural.
C. Urban surroundings.
D. Things that are purchased.
57. What does a study in Sweden show?
A. The natural environment can help children learn better.
B. More access to nature makes children less likely to fall ill.
C. A good playground helps kids develop their physical abilities.
D. Natural views can prevent children from developing ADHD.
58. Children who have chances to explore natural areas ________.
A. tend to develop a strong love for science
B. are more likely to dream about wildlife
C. tend to be physically tougher in adulthood
D. are less likely to be involved in bullying
59. What does the author suggest we do to help children with ADHD?
A. Find more effective drugs for them.
B. Provide more green spaces for them.
C. Place them under more personal care.
D.Engage them in more meaningful activities.
60. In what way do elderly people benefit from their contact with nature?

第二节
第二节：第61—65题是五位人士针对“孩子玩电脑或电子游戏会影响他们的个性发展吗”
的观点，从A-F中选出相应的陈述与之匹配，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
61. Parents need to watch the time their kids spend on computer or video games.
62. The effect of playing computer or video games on a child is different but it is there.
63. Computer or video games do affect children’s social development because they are not playing
in reality.
64. If you have heard of online gaming, then you know video games can affect social development
in a good way.
65. I’m living proof that computer or video games won’t do harm to kids.
A. For a lot of children, computers and video games are just an escape from reality, taking them
away from real life for a while, replacing a stressful or boring environment with sights and sounds kids could only imagine before. They have the ability of entertaining people’s minds while drawing in the whole attention away from real life. So the result will be like this: whenever a child can’t handle problems in real life, he might just turn to computer games. B. Reading Tom Sawyer or Harry Porter is as personal an act as playing an online game or even
more personal than playing an online or two-player game. I’ve rarely seen two people happily reading ONE book together. But when kids play online games they need to work together and it encourages the development of social skills.
C. Many results can occur from playing video games, from feeling abandoned and becoming
addicted to getting better in touch with what other students are doing. The question here is whether or not video games affect a child’s development, not if it is good or bad. Anything that you interact with is going to have an effect on your development.
D. People blame the computer and videos, because it is an easy target to hit. If you really wanna
look at people being lonely, look at the school system, where teachers could easily fix the problem by doing more group work with him/her choosing the students for the group. I mean,
I could play outside by myself and still be lonely. There isn’t a differ ence.
E. I do believe our children’s development is affected by computers and video game play if too
much time is spent because that’s time that a ch ild used to be playing outside with other children. I think that some computer work is good because it trains the brain in new patterns, but time on the computer need to be limited and playing outside should be encouraged.
F. I am 6 feet 2 inches, 185 lbs, all muscle. I’m one of the most popular students and I’ve had a
constant 30+ hours of video games since I was in third grade. I played baseball all my life until high school, and still managed up to 40+ hours of video games. I am around the 80th position in my grade and have received many honors. So it’s not necessary that computer games affect a kid’s development in a bad way. It simply depends on how much exactly one plays, and how one manages their time.

Dear Editor,
It’s reported that a famous high school will admit some junior high graduates who are specialized in music or PE. This has aroused a heated discussion in society. Opinions are divided.
Some people who support the idea hold that enrolling students with special talents in music or PE shows scores are not the only means to decide whether students can get into a good high school. Thanks to such a change, some excellent students can be admitted by a good school now, which in turn will encourage students’ all-round development. Meanwhile, others argue that it’s difficult to adopt practical standards which can be accepted by society. Besides, it will greatly challenge the honesty and justice.
In my opinion, I think it is a good try and of great benefit if the headmasters can avoid the disadvantages，such as injustice and dishonesty.
Best wishes！
Y ours sincerely,
Li Hua

Clear Vision《刽子手》评测：人在江湖飘哪能不挨枪警告：本作为17+游戏，包含血腥暴力凶杀内容，请低龄人士主动绕道！ 狙击手题材的游戏在iPhone,iPad上大概能弄出几箩筐，所以刚拿到这部火柴人风格的Clear Vision (17+)《刽子手》时，我是相当的轻视，或许是部充斥着山寨味道的东东，谁知道呢？ 话说有一位美国青年，名叫Tyler Smith——名字就这么不给力，大概相当于中国的张伟、王军这么普通。他的生活就更不给力了，基本属于干清洁工都会被炒，找工作没人要，住在窝棚式的公寓中饥寒交迫生活陷入绝望的社会最底层人士，终于有一天，他，受够了! 一段剧情动画并不能算惊世骇俗，火柴人的各种Flash都很多，也不是多么难作，但你可以从这段过场中窥见开发者对游戏的态度，必须承认到这里我开始产生了兴趣，有点想知道“后面会怎么样”？ 或许是他在外面散发了小广告，总之在这个脏兮兮的家中，有人从门缝下面给了他第一份“任务”，任务很简单，只需要把一个人从世界上“划掉”。
工欲善其事，必先利其器，这是连美国人都明白的道理!作这份“生意”，怎么能缺一把好“ 工具”呢？Bad Ben的“工具”店24小时为您服务，当然，一开始没钱，只能凑合用什么额外功能都没有那把老掉牙的家伙，随着“酬劳”的丰富，你可以逐步更新，要知道有些任务必须用特定级别以上的“家伙”才行哦! 任务开始了，你只需要在一片黑暗中间小小的圆形世界里，瞄准，扣扳机……（左下角）
世界清静了…… 雇主一般都不愿意透露自己的姓名，只会在小纸条上把自己希望“照顾”的对象告诉你，对中国玩家有点不幸的是全英文，不过一般来说会在最后一段话提到对方的特征，稍微有点英文基础或翻翻字典足够了。有些目标，比如送批萨的小弟，还要用电话约出来才好下手……

揭秘黄金暴跌的九大原因 2013-04-16 10:41:39 来源: 网易财经有1326人参与 纽约商品交易所6月交割的黄金期货跌破1400美元，收于每盎司1361.10美元，跌幅为9.3%，创下2011年2月以来最低收盘价，为20世纪80年代以来最大单日跌幅。白银期货跌幅超过11%，最低跌至22.9美元附近。同时，上海期货交易所黄金期货和白银期货连续两日跌停开盘。 疯狂的抛售令分析师措手不及，恐慌下的暴跌令黄金投资者受到的刺激太大了。当你见证黄金像切奶酪般干脆的暴跌大呼过瘾或惊恐不已时，而对幕后原因的无知会令人愤怒而痛苦，那么究竟哪些原因令金价出现如此历史性的暴跌呢？ 一、罪魁祸首：塞浦路斯抛售传言 4月11日，路透社报道称，欧盟执委会文件显示，塞浦路斯政府同意出售多余黄金储备筹资约4亿欧元，这将成为欧元区四年来最大规模的黄金出售，消息公布后，黄金市场出现恐慌性抛售。尽管塞浦路斯涉及的黄金量不大（大约10吨），但黄金交易商仍然担忧欧元区其他国家以此为先例，以后效仿一二。尤其是像葡萄牙和意大利这样的国家，它们深陷债务危机，黄金储备量却远胜塞浦路斯。 二、幕后黑手：高盛、美林等金融机构唱空黄金 4月10日，高盛将2013年金价预期从每盎司1610美元下调至1545美元，将2014年金价预期从每盎司1490美元下调至1350美元。此外，近日，瑞银、德意志银行、法兴银行等国际投行纷纷大幅下调今年、明年对于黄金、白银价格的预期。高盛等众多国际知名投行集体高调唱空黄金，导致投资者恐慌性抛空，推动黄金及相关贵金属加速下跌。 4月12日上周五，纽约黄金市场开盘后，跌破技术点位1540美元——这个是很多交易员心目中的马其诺防线。那么，这事儿谁干的？最初这波抛售的两小时后，市场迎来了一波更加猛烈的抛售，在30分钟内出现了高达1000万盎司（300吨）的抛售，市场传言这是美林的交易部门干的。很明显，这绝不是多头失望离场的表现，这显示是蓄意的集中“卖空”，通过抛售引发的恐慌大幅拉低价格，这将使得一些人爆仓或触及止损位（很可能就是1540美元），促使更多人抛售手中头寸。 三、宏观因素：中国经济数据不振美国经济持续复苏下美元走强
