第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
A
The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with thre e of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off t he tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack --- The first time I felf panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
21. The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.
A. catch shore birds
B. start an attack
C. protect the children
D. set up a barrier for itself
22. The bear finally went away after it _______.
A. felt safe
B. got injured
C. found some food
D. took away the camera
23. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ .
A. pride
B. patience
C. calmness
D. cautiousness

Mature-age university students are annoying, I know. I understand that when you're 18 or 19, and already know everything, there's no need to do the readings or show up prepared for class. I also understand that there are these old people in class who should be doing other things — maybe retiring, or gardening in the backyard. They are eagerly asking questions (or worse, answering them) and generally loud.
I understand because I used to be one of them. I dropped out of high school in Year
11 and after playing guitar in a band for a few years, I spent the next ten years working different jobs. Then a friend, who thought I was wasting my life, suggested I enrol at his university. Although afraid, I eventually took a university preparation course and a year
later became a 35-year-old university freshman.
Like many mature-age students, after completing my degree, I continued studying and eventually attained my PhD.
Now I’m a lecturer at Toronto University in Canada. In fact, I have just finished preparing a group of mature-age students to annoy next year’s young first years. My students come from many different backgrounds. But they all share an enthusiasm for knowledge and learning.
I know they are ridiculous and show up to class with folders full of readings, minds overflowing with ideas and concepts they want to discuss. I was the same. But, contrary to the stereotype of the annoying mature-age students occupying the airtime in class, most don't want to control the discussion.
They’re likely to be waiting, counting away the seconds silently in the hope that someone will want to talk about all of these amazing ideas we’re learning about. Only after waiting for younger voices to speak. ( but which often remain silent) do they begin talking. Speaking for myself, I love students who come prepared and ready to discuss stuff. So let's celebrate all of those “annoying”mature-age students.
24. According to the article, a mature-age student is a person .
A. studying for a higher degree
B. who behaves like an adult
C. who starts university at an older age
D. not yet qualified to enter university
25. In the first paragraph, the author .
A. describes the problems mature-age students create
B. shows that he is opposed to mature-age students
C. explains why many teachers dislike mature-age students
D. makes fun of the attitude held by many young students.
26. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Retired people.
B. Early high school leavers.
C. University students aged below 20.
D. Mature-age university students.
27. Why do mature-age students often wait before speaking in class?
A. They lack the ability to give their opinions.
B. They are not very familiar with the topic being discussed.
C. They want to give the younger students more chances to speak.
D. They are more interested in hearing others' opinions.
C
Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg”, and folks saved coin s in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
28. What is the piggy bank strategy?
A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C. Aiming high even when doing small things.
D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
29. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?
A. To delight him with the latest fashion.
B. To encourage him to climb mountains.
C. To help him form the habit of saving.
D. To teach him English pronunciation.
30. What does the u nderlined word “something” (Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?
A. Money
B. Gifts
C. Financial success
D. Good luck
31. The piggy bank originally was _________.
A. a potter’s instrument
B. a cheap clay container
C. an animal-shaped dish
D. a pig-like toy for children
32. The last paragraph talks about ________.
A. the seriousness of educating children
B. the enjoyment of taking a great trip
C. the importance of managing money
D. the difficulty of starting a business
D
Herbie Ricketts, 52, lives in Thornton Heath, south London, and works as an electrician. He has been a listening volunteer with the Samaritans for 16 years.
Each caller is as individual as their circumstances and I didn’t realize so many people take their own lives until I became a Samaritan. And only then did the true nature of the work I was doing hit home.
I’ll always remember my first day on duty. The caller, stressed and d epressed, told me he was suicidal(想自杀的). He’d been too frightened to talk to the people around him, which is common. People are told they’ve got nothing to be upset about. Or, if they are already classified as having mental health issues, so they tell no one. How do you make sense of your feelings if you can’t tell someone? Just allowing people to say what they honestly feel helps them find a different perspective. I couldn’t offer him practical
advice but I could support him emotionally. I helped him come to terms with his situation and make sense of some of the terrible emotions he was experiencing. Offering anonymity(匿名)and being nonjudgmental(无偏见的)allows people easily hurt to explore their thoughts without fear or worry. I left him in an emotionally safe place, ensuring he knew I wasn’t rejecting or abandoning him. I let him know we were still there if he needed us, explaining that it might not be me on the other end of the phone but another Samaritan who could also support.
Suicidal people will ring with issues like drug use or loneliness. If you look at it from the perspective of, “How can I solve this? ” you can become, like them, at a loss. Every cell in your body wants to offer solutions, but as a Samaritan I’m not there to sort their problems out. I listen and will support them when they can’t see any further than tomorrow. When the phone goes silent, we stay with that caller as long as we possibly can, which could be two or three hours.
The shifts are up to four hours long. When it doesn’t go so w ell, I offload to my colleague, so I don’t carry home a heavy heart. Being a Samaritan has greatly improved my life. I’m calmer and become a supportive listener, which has also improved my relationships. But being a wonderful Samaritan doesn’t make you a w onderful parent or wonderful partner—I wish it did.
33. Some people choose not to tell others about their feelings mainly because they________.
A. actually have nothing to worry about
B. are too shy to expose themselves to others
C. suffer from serious mental health problems
D. find no supportive listeners around them
34. Samaritans usually help callers by________.
A. sorting out their problems
B. providing practical advice for them
C. offering them emotional support
D. asking questions such as“How can I solve this? ”
35. We may infer from the passage that________.
A. being a good Samaritan takes patience
B. Samaritans are easily affected by callers
C. callers are always successfully comforted
D. people kill themselves for lack of listening volunteers

Most of you love watching movies. They can be funny, sad, imaginative, inspiring, and so much more! There are so many possibilities and so many great movies to watch!
The making of a movie usually begins with a script(剧本). 36 The producer is the person who is responsible for coordinating(协调) aspects of the film like budget and scheduling. The producer plans out how the project will be carried out and he usually starts by hiring a director!
37 The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to convey to its audience and will then assemble(聚集) all the other people who will be needed, such as costume-designers, makeup artists, special effects crew, stuntmen, cameramen, and, of course, actors!
Next, shooting begins! 38 Often a director will want to get several “takes” (versions) of a scene or moment and usually only a few minutes of the movie are finished in one day’s work. 39 So once filming is completed, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in any special effects or touch-ups.
The entire process from acquiring the script to editing the scenes generally takes months or even ye ars! Once it’s ready, the finished movie is then distributed to movie theatres. 40
A. The actual filming can be a slow process.
B. Scenes are also usually not shot in order.
C. In movies, the director’s job is to bring the script to life on camera.
D. The way that movies are made has changed a lot over time.
E. The producer plays a very important role in making a movie.
F. People can watch and enjoy it in the theatre.

Union is strength. Whenever you're faced with difficulties or in a dilemma, cooperation plays an important part in getting you out of trouble.
There was a time when I was too proud that I overlooked my classmate, refusing to work together with them. Therefore, it was no doubt that I was left alone, suffering from loneliness and failure. Unfortunately a teacher impressed on me the value of cooperation. From then on, I learned to help others and turn to my friends for the help whenever I had difficulty finish a task on my own. Surely cooperation made a great difference. Now I am getting well with my friends.
My experience has teach me that only if we attach great importance with cooperation, can we go beyond ourselves. As the saying go, “United we stand; divided we fall.”

W: Welcome everybody to this Cititours bus. I hope you’re having a good time here in the West of England. Our tours usually last about one hour.
The bus is now turning into Queens Road. From this road we can see a very modern building.
Th is is the town’s new sports stadium. All the big matches happen there but at the moment, an international company is using it for a conference.
Now look to your left. We’re now passing the City Theatre. This building is one hundred years old. It’s very pretty, as you see, but it doesn’t have enough seats for big shows.
We’ve got a new entertainment centre in Victoria Park. We don’t pass it on the bus, but you may be interested to know it’s got a cinema and a concert hall. Most people prefer it because it’s got air-conditioning. Now, on your right, is the High Street.
This Cititours bus normally goes along the High Street into the Market Place. But at the moment some musicians are practicing for an outdoor concert there. We’re driving round a different route because the roads into the Market Place are closed. The market was an important local trade centre until about 1970. Farmers bought and sold their cows and sheep there. However, we don’t see animals in the city centre these days. The market area’s got some good shops. Why don’t you have a walk round there later on?

Dear Nancy,
I’m so glad to receive your invitation to your lecture in the city library. I’d much like to learn something about American customs and culture, but a friend of mine is coming to pay me a visit, and since this is the first time he has come here, I w ill have to meet him at the railway station at 7:00 p.m. next Saturday. It’s really a pity that I can’t
make it to commu nicate with you face to face, and I’m sorry for that.
Anyway, I’m fairly grateful to you for the kind invitation. If there is another chance in future, I will try every possible means to learn from you.
Yours
