The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.4.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A.They are hard to get rid of.B.They lead to air pollution.C.They appear in different forms.D.They damage the instruments. 5.What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A.To strengthen teacher-student relationships.B.To sharpen students’ communication skills.C.To allow students to experience zero gravity.D.To link space technology with school education.6.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A.Check their product.B.Guide project designs.C.Adjust work schedules.D.Grade their homework.7.What is the best title for the text?A.NASA: The Home of AstronautsB.Space: The Final Homework FrontierC.Nature: An Outdoor ClassroomD.HUNCH: A College Admission ReformMany of us are lonelier than ever. We can go shopping and avoid speaking to a single person. Automated voice son phones and machines suck the contact and relational element out of day-to-day life, so much so that experts say that we are experiencing a loneliness disease.According to Dr. Lalitaa, loneliness is the feeling we get when our need for rewarding social contact and relationships is not met. But loneliness is not always the same as being alone. Loneliness is a state of mind linked to wanting human contact but feeling alone. People can be alone and not feel lonely, or they can have contact with people and still experience feelings of loneliness.Loneliness is a universal human emotion that is both complex and unique to each individual. There are many contributing factors to loneliness, such as illness, relationships breaking down, moving country, changing jobs or not being understood by co-workers, retiring, starting university, etc.We cannot underestimate the impact loneliness can have on our physical and mental wellbeing. According to research, loneliness has comparable health risks to smoking15cigarettes a day, and people who feel lonely are more likely to die earlier and suffer from heart attacks. Dr. Lalitaa says, “People often say to me, ‘It’s too late to meet new people as an adult.’ Having human connect ion can look different for each person, but this can become a block, stopping them going out, trying new things and connecting with new people. Remember, it is never too late to make good, meaningful connections.”However, don’t put pressure on yourself. A meaningful relationship takes time. It is not just created overnight. Also, take some time to sit with yourself and venture (冒险) into some of the things that you like doing. “The first thing I would say is not to deny or distance the feeling. Acknowledge it and then you can choose to focus on ways to help yourself,” says litaa.8.How does the author clarify what loneliness is?A.By stating arguments.B.By giving examples.C.By making comparisons.D.By employing figures.9.Why is smoking cigarettes mentioned in the text?A.To explain the causes of loneliness.B.To illustrate the harm from loneliness.C.To overestimate the impact of loneliness.D.To emphasize the universality of loneliness.10.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A.Lack of appealing reward.B.Dependence on the network.C.The regret for the passing youth.D.The idea of being too late for new relations.11.What does Dr. Lalitaa consider as priority when dealing with loneliness?A.Having new experience.B.Telling it from being alone.C.Being aware of and recognizing it.D.Making friends from all walks of life.The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was toldif they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.12.What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?A.Take an examination alone.B.Share their treats with others.C.Delay eating for fifteen minutes.D.Show respect for the researchers. 13.According to Paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between_______.A.the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B.the shortage of sugar and ournutritional needsC.the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit D.the rich food supply and ourunchanged brains14.What does the author suggest readers do?A.Be selective information consumers.B.Absorb new information readily.C.Use diverse information sources.D.Protect the information environment.15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Eat Less, Read More B.The Later, the BetterC.The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D.The Bitter Truth about Early Humans Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.how to make one.• 17 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.• Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 18 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.• Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 19 • Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 20 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.A.A better plan for sleep can help.B.If the steps you take are working, keep it up.C.a sleep expert.D.Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.E.And consider setting a second alarm.F.Find the right motivation.G.Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.二、完形填空On 20 December, in Newdale, a series of huge waves caused by an undersea earthquakeof tsunamis (海啸).The day began like any other on Gold shore Beach. People were walking, running or simply siting on the sandy beach, 24 the warm sea air and enjoying the soft 25 that brushed their hair. Sabrina was one of the happy tourists until she noticed something 26 . “The water was like the bubbles (气泡) on the top of a beer,” she later explained. “It wasn’t 27 and it wasn’t going in and then out. It was just coming in and in and in.” It struck her that these were the 28 of an upcoming tsunami, which Sabrina had just learnt about in a Geography lesson.Sabrina was 29 , but she soon kept her head. She warned her parents of the 30 , thought at first they just thought she was 31 .

These phones are directly connected to USC’s Department of Public Safety’s 24-hour communications center. Besides emergency needs, it can also be used to report suspicious activity, request for an escort (护送) if you feel unsafe and to report a crime.♦Trojans AlertTrojans Alert is an emergency notification system that allows university officials to contact you during an emergency by sending messages via text message or email. When an emergency occurs, authorized USC senders will instantly notify you with real-time updates, instructions on where to go, what to do (or what not to do), whom to contact and other important information.

What is the purpose of the text?A. To encourage students to fight crime.B. To introduce USC’s safety department.C. To provide safety services for USC students.D. To inform parents of safety risks on campus.BWhy isn’t science better? Look at career incentive(激励).There are oftensubstantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turn out not toreplicate(复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them -but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.But there are also waysin which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.It’s not like we don't know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls ondeaf ears.Why? Why aren't scientific methods better than they are? In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well theschool can prepare students for the test.We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist?An oft-used metric is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system. And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud(欺诈). If malicious fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.4. Which of the following is TRUE about the general trend in scientific field?A. Scientists are persistently devoted to exploration of reality.B. The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.C. Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments' results.D. The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.5. What doesdeaf earsin the fourth paragraph probably refer to?A. The public.B. The incentive initiators.C. The peer researchers.D. The high-impact journal editors.6. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.B. Competition for resources inspires researchers to work in a more skeptical way.C. All the credentialed scholars and researchers will not take up university professorships.D. The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.7. According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research?A. High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.B. The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.C. Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.D. Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.CAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举).

But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap.Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning; ―There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mouse trap in the house!‖The hen clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, ―Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.‖Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, ―I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.‖Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeat the same words. The cow said, ―Moo, Mr. Mouse. I‘m sorry for you, but it‘s no skin off my nose.‖So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer‘s mousetrap alone. That very right a sound was heard throughout the house–the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer‘s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. In fact, it was a poisonous snake whose tail was cau ght in the trap. The snake bit the farmer‘s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.But his wife‘s sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.The farmer‘s wife did not get well but died. So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide enough meat for all of them for the lunch.The mouse looked upon it all from his hole in the wall with great sadness.56.What surprised the mouse when looking through the hole?A.The farmer and his wife.

That‘s to say, totally, those workers will give up 6.2 million days of vacation, with an average of five days for each worker. For their employers, they feel happy because that is equal to a potential $500 million of ‗free‘ work, which, according to an economist will boost(使增长) the output of the economy by about two percent.The report also showed that the main reasons employees give up their remaining annual leave are due to pressures at work and their failing to appreciate that taking a break could make them more productive and, in turn, boost the economy in the long term.The research, done by price comparison website Travel Supermarket, found that more than one in four of those who will give up their remaining holidays (28 percent) will do so due to pressures at work. Bob Atkinson, travel expert for Travel Supermarket said: ―As the economy is not so satisfying, it‘s no surprise that people are cautious to take all their leave, especially if theyfeel stressed and uncertainty at work.‖ Nine percent of the 2,020 people surve yed also said they would feel guilty about taking the leave because their work would have to be taken care of by their colleagues. A further three percent said they would be concerned about how taking time off would look to their employer, while the same percentage said they did not want to miss anything interesting or beneficial at work in the time they would be away.Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said: ―Suppose that there are about 250 working days in a year, getting an extra fiv e ‗free‘ days of work from their employees could in theory boost the output of the economy by about two percent. On the other hand, if workers are less productive as a result of not getting enough breaks from work, taking all the annual leave, in fact, wi ll perhaps increase the economy.‖61. According to the report, in the UK more than a million workers .A. will not ask for leave in their working daysB. will take five days‘ leave on averageC. will work 500 million days freely for their employersD. will not take all their holiday leave this year62. Which of the following is NOT a reason why employees don‘t take all their holiday leave?A. They have a lot of pressures at work.B. They are busy and have no time because they have a lot of work to do.C. They don‘t realize that they will be more productive after taking a break.D. They don‘t think it proper to have their work taken care of by their colleagues.63. According to the report above, three percent of the people don‘t take all their holi day leavebecause ________.A. they are afraid of being found by their employers while taking holidaysB. they are under great pressure from the workC. they are worried about their employer‘s view on their taking holidaysD. they worry about losing their jobs after taking holidays64. From what Vicky Redwood said, we can infer that ________.A. not getting enough breaks from work may cause workers less productiveB. employees‘ extra five days of work will certainly boost the output of the economy byabout two percent.C. in order to boost output in the economy, employees should give up some holidaysD. the more leave the employees take, the better the economy will become65. The passage is mainly about ________.A. a report about how the workers in UK take their holidaysB. the fact that one million employees in UK don‘t take all their annual leaveC. reasons why employees give up their right to take holidaysD. how the pressures at work affect the workers in UKCRetail therapy(购物疗法)has long been considered as a good way to let off stress. Now, US scientists have discovered not only does retail therapy exist,but that it could be caused by an individual's fear of sudden death.Researchers found materialistic people thought terrorism and war more stressful than others.Psychologists believe the rise of materialism around the world and its treatment effect on extreme stress might be a response to fear of death caused by acts of terrorism, disease and natural disasters.The scientists from Michigan State University said people with possession obsessions(妄想)often have lower self-esteem than others so are more likely to shop as the result of severe psychological suffering.Ayalla Ruvio,a business professor studying people's shopping habits while rockets fell in Israel, said, "When the going gets tough, the materialistic people go shopping. This stress spending is likely to produce even greater stress and lower well-being. Essentially, materialism appears to make bad events even worse.Dr Ruvio led a two-part study of Israeli citizens living in a town that came under extreme rocket attacks for about six months in 2007. She compared 139 residents of the southern town with 170 from another town that was not under attack to see how their symptoms of post-traumatic stress and shopping habits varied. Dr Ruvio found that, when faced with a deadly threat, those who are highly materialistic suffered much higher levels of stress, while their tendency to shop was increased.Dr Ruvio said, "The relationship between materialism and stress may be more harmful thancommonly thought.‖The second stage of their research surveyed 855 Americans about their materialistic nature and fear of death. They found shopping was used to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety about death but this was in response to fear of a variety of life-threatening events like car accidents, criminal attacks and natural disasters.66. Which of the following opinion is NOT right according to the text?A. Terrorism is believed to easily cause the rise of materialism.B. The materialistic find terrorism and war more stressful than others.C. The scientists think people with possession obsessions suffer a lot mentally.D. The scientists think possession obsessions help people get self-respect.67. Why did Dr Ruvio choose to study the two groups of Israeli citizens mentioned in the passage?A. They are in different situations in terms of war.B. The stresses they face are usually deadly.C. They enjoy the special shopping culture.D. They are usuallyactive participants for researchers.68. What's the result about Dr Ruvio's research?A. Impulsive spending does good to people's health.B. Faced with great stress, people feel hopeless for life.C. Shopping can't lower one's stress as it is expected.D. Faced with threat,people's wish to shop will decrease.69. What does the underlined word ―this‖ refer to in the last paragraph?A. deathB. feelingC. stressD. shopping70. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Retail therapy is good to let off stress.B. Fearing death may lead to shopping.C. Shopping habits are related to wars.D. Greater stress can cause a lot of diseases.Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzled over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized(猜测). Faceless, bodiless "virtual" communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives."But it's important to remember this is not about the technology; it's about how it is used," says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study's sponsors. "It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology."71.___________ and psychological declineSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FALL in more than half the subjects. I didn‘t care, at least not until my dad found about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, ―Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on‖. It hit me like a roundhouse kick(回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was shocked out of my bones. I couldn‘t comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.When I went back to college, I knew that if I don‘t change the way I live my life I won‘t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I‘m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it.81.

When did the author begin to care about the serious situation?(No more than 12 words)(3 points)____________________________________________________________________83.

This is like your teacher telling that you’ve done well and allowing you to skip a grade, but you’ll have to 37 your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She asked me to think about it. I was puzzled, but I said “yes”.For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d 38 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 39 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 40 apartment, I became aware of how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then that I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 41 family and work. 42 difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a 43 attitude.Back home, I 44 myself that what my mother could do, I could, too.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four c hoices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ABRITONS may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right away, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather complain afterward.This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes: “For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that lump (小块) of raw chicken on my plate (instead of complaining to restaurant staff). But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this humiliating (丢脸的).”In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do but are offensive to Britons.Not making introductionsAmericans rarely remember to introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves. But Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without a facilitator (引导者) gives them a stomachache”.‘Quite’ goodUsing “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in a British household, don’t describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons’ ears, “quite” detracts from the “good”: the meal was passable but could have been better. Money TalkAmericans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis: “talking about how much we make is unthinkable—only less so than discussing our feelings”.Over-politenessIn the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey”or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating (使人生气的). “It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who’s been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis.56. According Paragraph 1, leaving the chicken lump on the plate implies that ______.A. he has finished his mealB. the chicken he has is not freshC. he wants to be friendlyD. he feels not pleased with the meal57. Which is NOT mostly accepted by Britons in parties?A. Exchanging each other’s namesB. being helped by a facilitatorC. Introducing themselves to strangersD. Being introduced to others58. The underlined word “passable” has the similar meaning to the one in “______”.A. Her English pronunciation is passable, which is not too bad.B. The mountain roads are not passable until late springC. The pattern is no longer passable with every passing dayD. Is this road passable to the Alps?59. Compared with Americans, Britons tend to be ______.A. easy-goingB. conservativeC. shyD. calm60. What is the article mainly about?A. Margolis’ discovery about AmericansB. Good manners in BritainC. Common habits of Americans that annoy BritonsD. Traditional Britons and fashionable AmericansBThere once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to supply goods for the local people. He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. Oneof the thieves went there at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop. The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. As planned, the shopkeeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretended customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fight. The now honest man explained the entire plan.The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shopkeeper felt that he had found the right man.61. How long did the shopkeeper remain on business each day?A. 12.5 hoursB. 8.5 hoursC. 10.5 hoursD. 16.5 hours62. What is the problem for the shopkeeper?A. Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day.B. He was too busy to have lunch every day.C. He couldn’t find a person to work at the shop.D. He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch.63. When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found ___________.A. everything in h is shop was stolenB. the thief became the new owner of the shopC. there was a fight in his shopD. the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There was only one shop in the town where the local people could go shopping.B. The thief was one of the shopkeeper’s friends, so he changed his mind.C. The shopkeeper was too old to look after the shop himself.D. The shopkeeper finally found the right man to run the shop.65. From the passage, we can infer that ____________.A. once a thief, he will always be a thiefB. trust can change a thief into an honest manC. you can’t beli eve in a dishonest man foreverD. an honest man will be responsible for his actionCMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or becausethey are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketi ng includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but ch ief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.66. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.A. preparing a topic list firstB. experiencing the speaker’s inside worldC. directing the talk to the desired resultsD. focusing on one’s own mind67. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. How to listen well.B. What to listen to.C. Benefits of listening.D. Problems in listening68. According to the author, in communication people tend to ________.A. listen activelyB. set aside their prejudicesC. listen purposefullyD. open up their inner mind69. According to the author, the patients improved mainly because _______.A. they were taken good care ofB. they knew they were truly listened toC. they had partners to talk toD. they knew the roots of problems70. What type of writing the article likely to be?A. Popular scienceB. Science fictionC. A medical reportD. A news reportPartⅣ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Ready to give up long showers, water parks, and unlimited water gushing out of your taps? A new study says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people are faced with water shortage now. The oceans are full, of course. But the liquid-fresh, clean water for drinking and watering crops is in short supply in many parts of the world. Rivers are running low, lakes are shrinking, streams have stopped flowing, and groundwater is being pumped dry. However, the demand for water keeps increasing. So there comes inevitably the water crisis!What is causing the crisis? Experts say it is a complex combination of climate change and rapid population growth. On the one hand, global climate change threatens to reduce water supplies due to decreased rainfall. On the other hand, population growth is driving explosive demand for water, prompting rivers in thirsty countries to be tapped for nearly every drop and driving governments to pump out so-called fossil water.Lack of water may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters are not safe. Lack of water may also result in more international conflicts. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. And lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economies. Th is is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.One partial answer to the world water shortage, at least for countries near the sea is to build more desalination plants that change seawater into fresh water. Another suggested solution is for water-rich countries, such as Canada, to sell water to countries which are poor in water. A third suggestion is for countries to adopt ways of increasing the freshwater supply, such as teaching farmers in Africa methods to get dean rainwater. And nearly everyone agreed that the amount of water on our planet can’t be changed, but the way we use it can be if more people realized the problem. Last and the most important, public should be aware of saving water to defeat the water crisis.Title: 71.___________I.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FALL in more than half the subjects. I didn’t care, at least not until my dad found about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, “Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on”. It hit me like a roundhouse kick(回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was shocked out of my bones. I couldn’t com prehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the gr ocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.When I went back to college, I knew that if I don’t change the way I live my life I won’t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna-cum-laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel th at I’m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it.81.

The national park service began in the late 1800s. A small group of people found a land now called Yellow Stone. And after hours of discussion around the campfire, they decided that should be enjoyed by everyone. Two years later, the government declared that became the first national park in the world. After they became a public park, many other areas of beautiful scenic were set aside. And in 1916 these parks began to be managed by the national park service. I am now an employee of the national park service, and I am on duty at all the times to answer questions and help visitors in any difficulty. Nature walks, guided tours and campfire talks are offered by specially trained members. The park service also protects the animals and plants within the parks.。

Music Videos? One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病)girl.“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public views and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Guidotti's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Guidotti are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see,see how you change.”4. What made Rick change his understanding of beauty?A. A girl diagnosed with albino.B. His job as a fashion photographer.C. The beauty on the covers of magazines.D. Influence from the people working with him.5. What can we infer about Jayne Waithera?A. She showed great interest in taking photos.B. She used to be disappointed at her work and life.C. She was greatly influenced by the experience with Rick.D. She believed Rick was the best photographer in the world.6.

First, the most important task in high school and college is both studying. Studying is the most important as a student. Second, we need a goal to fight for in both high school life and college life. To lead a meaningful life, we have to set up a goal to achieve.For another, there are also some differences between high school life and college life. First, our studying is also the biggest difference. In high school, we are required to follow our teachers' steps and finish theirassignmentsevery day. While in college, there are no teachers giving such detailed requirements to us and we can choose study or not according to our own willing. What and how to study totally depends on us. Therefore, the ability of self-control is very important in college life. Second, the flexibility (灵活性) of time is another difference. In high school, we have no much leisure except for our time of study. However, in college, we have much controlled by ourselves except the time of classes. And we have more time to do what we like. Finally, college lifeis much more various and richer. Besides study, we can attend many other activities, which make our college life more wonderful.In brief, there are both similarities and differences between high school life and college life. However, nomatter we are in which period, we need to make full use of every day so that we will never feel regretful.8. Why do students need a goal to fight in high school and college?A. To enter a good college.B. To avoid living a meaningless life.C. To develop the ability of control.D. To meet their parents’ satisfaction.9. What does the underlined word “assignments” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Projects.B. Tasks.C. Goals.D. Dreams.10. Which is the correct structure of the passage?A. ①-②③-④B. ①②-③-④C. ①-②③④D.①②-③④11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. College LifeB. High School LifeC. High School and CollegeD. High School Life and College LifeDIn order to help discover spoilage and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers, researchers have developed new low-cost, smart phone-linked, eco-friendly spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging.One in threeUKconsumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date, but 60% of the £12.5 billion-worth of food we throw away each year is safe to eat.The researchers, whose findings were published in ACS Sensors, say the sensors could also eventually replace the use-by date—a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.The sensors cost two US cents each to make. Known as “paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS)”, they detect spoilage gases like ammonia (a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell) in meat and fish products. The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone, and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.The Imperial College London researchers who developed PEGS made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes onto a special type of paper. The materials are eco-friendly and harmless, so they don’t damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging. The sensors, combined with a tiny electronic system, then inform nearby mobile devices, which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.Lead author Dr Firat Guder of Imperial’s Department of Bioengineering, said, “Although they’re designed tokeep us safe, use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away. They don’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage, even when an item is within its use-by date.”“These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years. Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste.”The authors hope that PEGS could have applications beyond food processing, like sensing chemicals in agriculture, air quality, and detecting disease markers in breath like those involved in kidney disease.12. What is the function of PEGS according to the text?A. To improve the taste of foods.B. To improve the service of stores.C. To help supermarkets store foods.D. To help people test food freshness.13. What role does the smartphone play while PEGS are functioning?A. It acts as an electronic nose.B. It reads the data collected by PEGS.C. It helps print the gas sensors onto paper.D. It discovers the spoilage gases from foods.14. What does Dr. Firat Guder say about use-by dates?A. They are not completely reliable.B. They can help reduce food waste.C. They are based on scientific research.D. They are not accepted by the consumers.15. What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A. The process of researching spoilage sensors.B. A new technology in packaging to reduce food waste.C. The application of spoilage sensors beyond food processing.D. The influence of use-by dates on supermarkets and consumers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMelbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there. As an English-speaking country, you won’t be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets, which promote equality among the sexes.Why it’s a great choice: Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Well known for being very cheap, especially in the north. A good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(热带)jungle.Hong Kong, ChinaHong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.Why it’s a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you’re not well-traveled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.Bali, IndonesiaBali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction.Why it’s so great: You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali.

A press advertisement.BMr. Dawson was an old bad-tempered man, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yards to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go by Daws on’s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was scared of the old man.Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a big smile.Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple. Later, Janet asked Am y, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?”Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but oneday he half smiled back.After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers an apple now, and is always very kind.If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will fin d that most people can’t resist our kindness after a while.We are always busy trying to achieve so much that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let’s make sure that we’re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smile24. Why didn't kids enter Mr. Dawson’s yard?A. The gate was kept locked.B. Mr. Dawson treated them badly.C. They would make trouble.D. Mr. Dawson never smiled.25. Janet suggested walking on the other side of the street to ______.A. meet some other friendsB. find out where Mr. Dawson wasC. see what Mr. Dawson was doing.D. avoid passing by Mr. Dawson’s house26. What did Mr. Dawson do when he saw Amy?A. He smiled on her.B. He forced an invisible smile.C. He came after her with his gun.D. He frowned as usual.27. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _______.A. smiling is not difficult at allB. smiling can make our life differentC. we should bring more smiles to othersD. we should wear invisible smilesCIf doctors want to test you for something, they’ll usually take a blood or urine sample. But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; trafficpolice also monitor drivers’ alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “metabolites” —the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”, according to Science Daily.Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids(液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers’ chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn’t change much throughout the day, reported BBC.“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.28.According to the text we know that______.A. doctors can test one’s breath to find about his illnessB. your breath may give you away if you are not carefulC. breath varies from person to person based on foodD. trained dogs can identify people with various diseases29. In comparison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _______.A. comfortable and convincingB. quick and convenientC. accurate and competitiveD. traditional and reliable30.What is the author’s attitude toward breath testing?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Unconcerned.D. Approving31. What can we infer from the text?A. Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases.B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment.C. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future.D. Traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular.DThere has been much debate since Titanic became one of the most successful films of all time: Did Rose leave Jack to die by not letting him up on the makeshift lifeboat as they floated in the ocean?A U.S. television show, the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters recreated the dangerous conditions after the Titanic sank in 1912, and through a chain of hypothermia(体温过低) tests, has discovered Leonardo DiCaprio’s character would have survived the disaster had he lifted himself onto the board from which Rose, played by Kate Winslet, was rescued.As fans of the film remember, Jack remains in the freezing water while Rose lies on a floating piece of the destroyed ship as he doesn’t want it turned over.In the Oscar-winning film, Jack dies from hypothermia while Rose is rescued. Titanic director J ames Cameron told Mythbusters he believed the board wouldn’t have supported both Jack and Rose.But the team found if Rose had taken off her life jacket and put it under the board it would have given them enough buoyancy to keep both of them floating.In the film Rose was one of the last to be rescued. Historical documents show that the Officer Harold Lowe, who was made to rescue Rose, looked for survivors for 45 minutes.In a separate test the team found that had Jack remained in the freezing water for over an hour he would have died from hypothermia.Cameron, however, had the last word telling the TV show that Jack had to die as that’s what the plot called for. He said, “I think you’re missing the point here. The plot says Jack died. He has to die. So maybe we should have made the board a tiny bit smaller, but he’s still going down.”32. The U.S. TV show did tests on Jack’s death ______.A. after creating a difficult conditionB. by tying Rose’s life jacket to the boatC. by testing how long one can hold out in cold waterD. after talking to the US director James Cameron33. What does the underlined word “buoyancy” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Space.B. Warmth.C. Softness.D. Force.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Finally Cameron agreed with the team.B. Rose was the last one to be rescued.C. Cameron thought the board was hard enough.D. Kate Winslet’s character died from hypothermia.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. A superb film TitanicB. Jack’s Death for NothingC. Cameron’s Unreasonable ArgumentD. Jack’s Deep Love with Kate Winslet第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
