It provides different kinds of Italian food. There are refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts, and shelves filled with olives and various pasta.There's some traditional Italian music and the smell is of olive oil and garlic (大蒜). Above the largest refrigerator case, there's a chalk board covered with descriptions of more Italian sandwiches than I could remember.I stepped into Frigo's almost by accident when I had to stay in Springfield into the evening for an open house at the school where I work. Frigo's is the perfect place to find something quick to go. There are no tables, so all food is taken out. I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already-prepared food to bring home for dinner.I ordered the easiest meal possible: a chicken sandwich and a salad. It cost $4.75 for the sandwich. The salad was $4.99 and didn't have salard dressing on it. I must have missed the choice of salad dressing on the way out. The sandwich was great 一great chicken, excellent tomato sauce and not too much cheese.I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe's Favorite ($5.25-$6.75) and the Dante (King) which is made of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, asiago cheese and choice of dressing.I have a feeling that I'II be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo's soon.26.

We can infer from the passage that the writer __________.A. seldom eats out in a restaurant with his familyB. feels very happy that he has found Frigo'sC. dislikes eating sandwichesD. lives a very relaxing lifeBEngland has been the birthplace of most of the great English-language theater written throughout history. Most of the plays in England that are truly famous have something in common. They usually come from a playwright（剧作家）with several famous plays.ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare is considered the.most famous British playwright. Shakespeare has a large catalog(目录) of tragedies, comedies and history plays, and each category is home to some of the most famous plays ever written. Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and Julius Caesar are all tragedies and performed in theaters around the world every year. Famous comedies include: A Midsummer night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing. In the history category, Richard Ⅲ and Henry V are very famous.Oscar Wilde and George Bernard ShawSeveral hundred years after Shakespeare, English people began to enjoy the works of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. Wilde's plays are still popular now, and The importance of Being Earnest is both performed and studied extremely frequently. A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband are among his other famous works. Shaw and Wilde were born within a few years of each other, but Shaw was a much more productive writer. His most famous plays include Pygmalion and Candida. Shaw's plays are loved so much that an entire theater company is devoted to performing his work in Niagara-on-the-Lake in southem Ontario.Harold PinterThe plays of Harold Pinter certainly have an international presence. His writing was so widely recognized for its importance that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 2005. Pinter is especially known for his style of writing. Many of his plays such as BetrayaL, The Dumb Waiter and his first play, The Room, are extremely well known.31.

Do you like being around people who share the same respect and love for natural resources? If you say "yes", then a fisheries biologist is a great career choice for you.As you can probably guess, education is very important. A Bachelor of Science degree in fisheries or biology is strongly recommended. Many biologists have a Master's degree. But it's not only good education that prepares you for a career as a fisheries biologist —field experience is also important. Volunteer work, internships (实习) and short-term fish technician positions are good ways to gain valuable training that can give you an edge in the competitive job market.In addition to good education and field experience, a fisheries biologist needs other skills. You'll spend a lot of time working with the public, so it's important to feel comfortable talking to a variety of people. Good communication, listening, and presentation (陈述) skills are a must.A common misconception among many people is that fisheries biologists get to fish all the time. Most biologists wish that were true. But as a fisheries biologist, you are especially busy during the fishing season, which leaves little time for you to actually go fishing. It's sad, but true.Each day brings something different in the life of a fisheries biologist. In the spring and fall, you spend a lot of time on the water shocking fish in order to sample the population, studying fish, and talking with people. The winter is spent analyzing (分析) fish data and communicating with the public.So if you find fish interesting and fun to leam about, and like working both outside and inside, consider a career as a fisheries biologist. You'II never be bored!36. We can infer this passage was written to __________.A. advise us to respect and protect wildlifeB. encourage us to spend more time working outsideC. explain why education is important for our careerD. introduce a good career to those who are interested in wildlife37. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?A. Education needed to find a good job.B. Requirements for becoming a fisheries biologist.C. The benefits of being a fisheries biologist.D. Some good ways to gain valuable training.38. To be a good fisheries biologist, which of the following is NOT necessary?A. You shoulcl be good at communicating with others.B. You should have rich knowledge of biology.C. You should havc ricld experience.D. You should be a good swimmer.39. The underlined word "misconception" in Paragraph 4 probably means "__________".A. questionB. misunderstandingC. dreamD. explanation40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. fisheries biologists like working in winter mostB. fisheries biologists can easily get bored of their workC. fisheries biologists get to fish all the time all year roundD. fisheries biologists spend a lot of time working outside in spring and fallDOnce upon a time, there was a scholar wbo wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge. One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student. The saint provided some tea. He slowly filled the scholar's cup: the cup was full. yet he kept pouring and pouring. The scholar burst out, "Stop! You can't add anything to something that's already full!" The saint set down the teapot and replied, 'Exactly."Whether it's the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively. Yet most of us, myself included, tend to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available —closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself.However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life. For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity(能力), unlike Americans pushing as close to l00% as possible. So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you.Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds. How to empty you "cup"?Be mindful of the element of space, openness, and emptiness in your life. This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open-mindedness in a friend. Sometimes you're just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do. But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks. Put some spacc between finishing one thing and starting another. For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one. Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around. At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if you're hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go.41. By pouring water into the cup, the saint most probably wanted the scholar to know that __________. .A. he should pay attention to detailsB. he should keep learning every dayC. he had already gained enough knowledgeD. he should be very careful in order to succeed42. We leam that compared to Americans, Australians __________.A. work much harderB. know less about their capacityC. spare more time for themselvesD. spend less time with their friends43. The underlined word "lug" in the last paragraph probably means "__________".A. reachB. carryC. seeD. show44. What's the stucture of the passage?A. Example →advice →conclusion →story.B. Topic →example →advice →story.C. Story →topic →example →advice.D. Reason →topic →advice →example.45. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The art of life.B. Value every minute.C. The art ofdrinking tea.D. Empty your "cup" at times. .第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

"My wife and I share it 50/50," I usually say without hesitation.It's a lie, of course. We're pretty much even(相等的) when it comes to the children and the elderly. But the paying of bills isn't 50/50 —my wife pays all sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them. And the cooking isn't 50/50, either.The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifis fiom my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more manly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me.It's not that my wife can't or doesn't like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years of our marriage I'd be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work.But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards —I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster(怪物) in the kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. "You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese," I volunteer, as my wife is cooking. "Quick, stir in the butter so the dish becomes delicious."Is it any wonder that my wife has given up coming into the kitchen while I find the whole process of chopping, mixing, and adding things deeply satisfying?26. What do the writer and his wife probably share evenly at home?a. Cooking in the kitchen.b. Taking care of the children.c. Paying household expenses.d. Taking care ofthe elderly at home.A. abB. bcC. bdD. ac27. The gifts that the writer received on his 40th birthday show that __________.A. his children don't know him at allB. he is in charge of the cooking at homeC. he doesn't get along well with his childrenD. his children have made wrong choices28. What do we know about the writer's wife?A. She can't cook.B. She doesn't like cooking.C. She used to cook for the family.D. She only knows how to make Welsh cakes.29. From Paragraph 5 we learn that the writer __________.A. likes sticking his nose into other people's businessB. doesn't think his wife is good at cookingC. studies very hard in order to cook wellD. enjoys cooking in the kitchen30. We can infer the wnter wrote this passage to __________.A. encourage people to eat at homeB. share his family life with usC. explain why men should cookD. give us some tips on cookingBAround the world there are some festivals that for some of us may sound bizarre.In England they celebrate the rolling cheese race, which occurs every year during the last Monday in May. This festival's characteristic is a contest where an official(参与者) rolls cheese down a steep hill and festival-goers go chasing after it. The winner is the first one to reach and catch the cheese.Another festival celebrated in England is the world championship of grimaces（鬼脸）. It is a celebration that dates back to 1297 and is celebrated during the month of September. The task is to perform the best grimace using anything you can to win.The worldwide championship of wife lifting is celebrated in Finland. The game is based on Viking traditions where a man should carry away his neighbor's wife. According to the rules, any woman above 17 is considered as a wife, so if you are within this age, take care while visiting this country during the month of July.Many of you have watched Pirates of the Caribbean, and have known something about pirates. The 19th of September has been declared worldwide as the day to talk like a pirate. Plenty of people have celebrated it thanks to the publicity (宣传) on the Internet.First staged in 1998, the Boryeong Mud Festival is an attraction that pulls more than a million visitors to the South Korean city. As you all know, the town is said to be rich in minerals, so there is no shortage of mud. Mud is trucked onto Daecheon Beach for tourists and locals to enjoy the festival to their best.The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in Thailand to develop tourism. It's an annual feast held for about 600 monkeys. The Monkey Buffet Festiva! is held in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman and involves 3,000 kilograms of vegetables and fruits being laid out for monkeys to stuff themselves.31.

If you are interested in the Boryeong Mud Festival, you should go to __________.A. EnglandB. FinlandC. South KoreaD. Thailand35. Which of the following pictures shows the festival in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman?A. B. C. D.CLast week, a study showed that people around the world are getting fatter. The study found that obesity had almost doubled since 1980. Majid Ezzati at Imperial College London led the research team. He says the results show that obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol(胆固醇) are no longer just found in wealthy nations. These are now worldwide problems.The study shows that in 2008, almost ten percent of men were obese. That was up from about five percent in 1980. That same year, almost eight percent of women were obese. By 2008. the rate of obesity among women was almost fourteen percent.Obesity is commonly measured by the body mass index, or BMI. This is a measure of a person's weight in relation to height. A pcrson with a BMI of eighteen point five to twenty-four point nine is considered to have a normal weight, and a BMI of twenty-five to twenty-nine is considered overweight. Pacific island nations such as the Philippines have an average BMI of around thirty-five —the highest in the world. But the study found that the United States had the single highest average among wealthy countries. Men and women had an average BMI of over twenty-eight. New Zealand was next. Japan had the lowest, at about twenty-two for women and twenty-four for men.The report had some good news, however, about high blood pressure. The percentage of people with this major cause of heart attacks and strokes has fallen since 1980. Dr. Ezzati credits that to the improved testing and treatment in wealthy countries. He says a decrease in the use of salt and unhealthful fats probably also helped.In the United States, new guidelines urge Americans to reduce salt, sugar and fatty meats and to eat more fish and whole grains. People are being urged to choose water instead of sugared drinks and to make fruits and vegetables half of a meal. But whatever they eat, Americans are being urged to follow new advice from the govemment: eat less.36. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Obesity leads to many health problems.B. Obesity has become a worldwide problem.C. People around the world worry about their health.D. People around the world suffer from high blood pressure.37. If a man has a BMI of twenty, he is most probably considered __________.A. too thinB. normalC. a little overweightD. obese38. What good news does the report tell us?A. Fewer people around the world use unhealthful fats now.B. There are better treatments for heart attacks and strokes now.C. High blood pressure is no longer a major cause of heart attacks.D. The percentage of people suffering high blood pressure has fallen.39. Overweight people are probably advised to __________.A. eat more sugar and less saltB. replace fish with whole grainsC. reduce the amount of salt they useD. eat nothing but fruits and vegetables40. On average, which of the following countries had the lowest BMI according to Paragraph 3?A. The Philippines.B. The United States.C. New Zealand.D. Japan.DEvery hour spent outdoors each week can reduce a child's chance of becoming short-sighted by two percent. Children who are short-sighted spend an average of 3.7 fewer hours a week outside compared with those who have normal vision, a study has found.Short-sightedness runs in families and has also been linked to a host of factors. They inclucle the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels of physical activity. But simply spending time out of the house may be enough to protect the eyesight. Being outdoors can reduce the amount of time that children spend in reading or playing computer games, researchers said.Between 15 and 20 percent of British people are short-sighted, but the problem is much more serious in parts of East Asia. There, as much as 80 percent of the population is short-sighted. One study compared children living in different countries. It founcl that those in Australia had better vision on average than people of the same age in China and Singapore. The Australian group read and achieved as much as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.Dr Sherwin, one of the researchers who did the study, said the benefit from being outdoors could be linked to increased UV radiation (紫外线辐射). Shorl-sightedness is caused by having longer eyes and some studies have shown that some chemicals affected by UV rays may control the length of the eye. A lack of sunlight could make such chemicals grow too much, he explained.He said, "It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and it could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity."41. What is the main idea ofthe passage?A. Children's short-sightedness can be cured.B. There are several causes of children's short-sightedness.C. Spending more time outdoors can lead to better eyesight.D. Children who spend more time outdoors are much healthier.42. What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Near objects.B. Levels of physical activity.C. Fanulies which have short-sightedness.D. Some factors linked to short-sightedness.43. According to Paragraph 3, in the study children in Australia __________.A. achieved lessB. had poorer eyesightC. stayed outdoors moreD. spent less time reading44. Which of the following correctly shows Dr Sherwin's statement in Paragraph 4?a. increased UV radiationb. more time spent outdoorsc. longer eyesd. shorter eyese. less chemicals affected by UV rays. f. short-sightedness g. good visionA.b-e-a-d-fB.b-a-e-d-fC.b-a-e-d-gD.b-a-e-c-g45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Dr Sherwin as a cause of short-sightedness? .A. Receiving too little UV radiation.B. Not taking part in enough physical activity.C. Spending little time looking into the distance.D. Not eating enough food that is good for our eyesight. .第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息首先，请阅读以下问题：A.

People text in movie theaters, in class and even while driving. But one woman was caught texting in a really unusual place —her own wedding.After making her way down the aisle(过道) with her father, the Califomia bride stopped, pulled a cellphone out of the top ofher dress alnd began to text under her veil. She used one hand to text as the other held her father's hand."This is part of a weedding video I shot in August, 2008 at the Mission Beach Women's Club in San Dicgo, CA," videographer James Costa wrote on his YouTube page." It was perfectly normal except for this funny clip of the bride texting.""At one point, I noticed her doing it through my lens(镜头) and I had to pull away from the camera to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing," Costa wrote.The preacher could be heard in the background beginning the ceremony. The bride's back was to her guests, but Costa caught the moment with his camera. "The preacher was busy reading his opening comments and the bride's back was to the guests who were there," Costa wrote. "I was the only one to see her. Her dad glanced at her and then saw me taking a video!"The bride's father appeared embarrassed and at one point opened his mouth and began to move his arm as though he was going to say something to her, but he stopped himself from doing so, and let the bride do —or text —whatever she wanted on her special day.26. What would be the best title for this passage?A. A few things are sacred nowadays.B. A bride became famous after her wedding.C. A bride was caught texting on her wedding.D. A woman tried to make her wedding special.27. When Costa saw the woman tcxting, he fclt it was __________. .A.normalB. unbelievableC. perfectD. boring28. The woman was texting while __________.A. she was hugging her dadB. she was walking down the aisleC. the preacher was reading his opcning commentsD. the preacher was looking for the husband29. When the bride's father saw Costa taking a video, he __________.A. tried to say something to himB. stopped him from doing soC. thanked him for doing soD. felt embarrassed30. When the bride's Father glanced at the bride, she __________.A. was still busy textingB. looked up and noticed CostaC. asked him to let her finish textingD. stopped herself from texting at onceBI like shopping. On 15 December, 2010, I started a challenge to spend a year without shopping for clothes. It hasn't been easy. Why did I decide to take a year off from shopping for clothes?Financial reasonsIn 2010, my financial circumstances changed, but my spending habits didn't. I was eaming less but not spending less. Tired of working in a company, I started an online business in early 2010. While the experience helped me in many ways, it didn' t increase my income. . Practical reasonsMost women wear only 20-30% of their clothes. A year without shopping for clothes gave me a chance to increase the percentage. I wasn't adding any new pieces to my wardrobe (衣橱), so I was forced to reach for those I hadn't worn for ages. Over the past year, I found myself wearing items that had hung for months. You know sometimes children get so many toys that they can't play with them all. After a few weeks they "discover" the old toys and it's almost like having new ones. I found all sorts of new toys in my wardrobe.Creative reasonsShopping is nearly a sport for many women, me included. I'm great at it. I could have represented Australia in the shopping Olympics, if such a thing existed. But when you look at the bigger picture, it's rather sad to consider all that creative energy going into shopping. I learned to use that creative energy for other purposes.Now as the end of my challenge gets close, I have mixed feelings. To help me deal with things, I've been thinking about what I've leamed over the past year.31. What can we leam from Paragraph 2?A. The writer thought highly of her job in the company.B. The wnter became tired of operating an online business.C. The writer benefited in some ways from her online business.D. Starting an online business allowod the writer to spend more money.32. The underlined part "new toys" in Paragraph 3 refers to __________.A. toys for kidsB. unworn clothesC. things used for shoppingD. shopping habits33. By saying "I could have represented Australia in the shopping Olympics", the writer means __________. .A. she wants to take part in the Olympic GamesB. she is proud of Australian shoppersC. she is good at shoppingD. she does well in sports34. Which of the following reasons for giving up shopping is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. To save money.B. To spare energy.C. To wear the unworn clothes.D. To spend more time with friends.35. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A. What the writer has learned from that experience.B. How to form good shopping habits.C. Why the writer has mixed feelings.D. How to avoid shopping.CSearch efforts are continuing in south-eastern Turkey for survivors of Sunday's powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake. The number of the dead reported has exceeded (超过) 200 and the number is expected to continue to increase. Rescue workers are racing against time to final the hundreds of people believed to be trapped under the rubble(碎砖) of buildings that fell after the quake.The 7.2 magnitude quake severely damaged thousands of buildings. Despite battling against the numerous aftershocks, rescue efforts have been successful. A woman was dug out of her fallen apartment block afler being trapped for 10 hours. Then she called out for her mother, who was injured. The survivors are from the town Ercis, one of the worst hit areas where as many as l00 buildings were reported collapsed.Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Van, the main city in the quake-stricken region. He warns there may still be worse news to come. He says the biggest concern is for the villages because the buildings are made of mud and are more vulnerable to quakes. He says almost all buildings in such villages are destroyed. With the telephone system failing in many places, there has been little news from the area. Many of the roads have also been cut off, adding to the difficulties of rescue efforts.The mountainous south-eastern region of Turkey, where the quake struck, is one of the poorest parts of the country. Weather conditions worsened late Sunday, with freezing temperatures and forecasts for snow.Turkey sits on major geological fault lines. In 1999, two earthquakes registering more than 7,0 on the Richter scale killed almost 20,000 people in populated parts of the north-western region of the country.36. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Rescue efforts continuc after an earthquake in Turkey.B. Turkey was stricken by a powerful earthquake.C. Turkey is in great trouble after an earthquake.D. Hundreds of people are trapped in Turkey.37. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that __________.A. it is not hard to rescue those people trapped under the rubbleB. a woman was found after she called out for her motherC. the town Ercis has reported the most deaths so farD. aftershocks are a big problem that rescuers face38. Turkish Prime Minister used the underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 to show that__________. .A. he has great confidence in rescue workB. people should not use mud to build housesC. the buildings in the villages can be easily destroyedD. the recent earthquake is more powerful than he has expected39. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Turkey is very likely to be stricken by earthquakes.B. Turkey' s location helps it avoid many earthquakes.C. Turkey is not experienced in fitghting against earthquakes.D. The recent earthquake is the most serious in Turkey's history.40. What is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.

The help Turkey received from other countries after the earthquake.DRebecca Bunting is excited about the weekend. She's flying from London to Tallinn, where a little boy will be waiting to greet her at the airport. "It's his fourth birthday." she said, smiling. "I haven't seen him for three months and I can't wait to see how much he has grown."From the way she's talking, you'd imagine Rebecca is going to visit a nephew or a fiiend's child. Instead, this tall, attractive 28-year-old woman from London is going to spencl a long weekend with her son, whom she left two years ago when she walked away from him and her husband. "He has a very good father and grandmother. I feel he's better off living with them than with me," she said calmly. "I want him to be with me, but I just can't be sure that would work."Yet public attitude towards women like Rebecca, who have chosen to live away from their children, is that they are at some level irresponsible. In our society women who fail to put their children before themselves are seen as unnatural. Whispers follow, "What's wrong with her? I would never do that."Sarah Hart is the co-chairperson of Match, a charity for mothers who don't live with their children, and the author of A Mother Apart, a book for the 200,000 or so British women in this situation. She says that there is still a hug discrepancy in how we view mothers and fathers not living with their children. "We usually think that it's very painful for men to be separated from their kids but that this is just how things work out. But when a woman does it, our judgment is unforgiving," she says. "People usually think that she must have done something wrong and that in some way she must be unfit." .41. How does the writer lead to the topic of the passage?A. By telling Rebecca's story.B. By referring to a recent study..C. By referring to scientific data.D. By telling her own life story.42. Rebecca chooses not to let her son live with her probably because __________. .A. she doesn't love himB. her son doesn't like herC. she cannot take good care of himD. she doesn't want to live with a child43. Generally speaking, what's people's attitude towards women like Rebecca?A. They greatly support such women.B. They think such women are selfless.C. The7y have great pity on such women.D. They think such women are not responsible.44. The underlined word "discrepancy" in Paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to "__________".A.improvementB. mistakeC. achicvementD. difference45. When men live away fiom their children, people usually think __________. .A.they are irresponsibleB.they shouldn't be forgivenC. they have no choice but to do itD. they must have done something wrong .第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息首先，请阅读以下商品介绍：A.

I loved the heat, the noisy streets, the busy markets and the smell of Thai dishes. I enjoyed my stay there very much. However, there is one thing that I wish I hadn’t done.One day, I set off from my hotel to a temple that interested me. As I walked past some buildings, I glanced between two unfinished buildings. There, an old woman in traditional clothing lay on the ground. The terrible thought that she might be dead crossed my mind. Feeling quite helpless, I went up to her. She looked very ill. I immediately reached into my pocket to find some money. Then I pushed it into her hand. It was enough for her to live for a few months. At this moment, she opened her large, brown eyes and looked at the prize I’d given her.Without a common language, she looked at me with the wisdom and pity that could burn into a soul. She weakly pushed the money back. She stood up and walked away.I was surprised, with the money in my hand. It took me at least a kilometer of walking to realiz e I was quite the fool. She didn’t need money. Maybe she needed shade, a bottle of water or just some comfort. She was the one who taught me a good lesson. Summary:I once traveled to Thailand. I loved the place very much, but I regretted doing onething. One day, on my way to a temple, I saw an old woman lying on the ground between two unfinished buildings. I thought she was dying. I didn’t know what to do, and I just pushed some money into her hand. She opened her eyes and looked surprised. We hadn’t a common language, and she just looked at me. And then she pushed the money back to me and walked away. After walking for a long time, I finally realized that what she needed at the moment wasn’t money. Perhaps she just needed shade, water or comfort. I learnt a good lesson.第29期A版测试题参考答案1-5 BABBC 6-10 ADCCD 11-15 ABDBC16-25 (One possible version)16. on 17. was inspired 18. with 19. but 20. a21. neatly 22. considering 23. your 24. that 25. them26-30 DABBD 31-35 ADDCD 36-40 ABDCA41-45 DAACC 46-50 FBEAD基础写作（One possible version）Judith McNaught, an American bestselling writer, was born on May 10, 1944 in Poland.

First, the development of China’s economy attracts more foreigners to study Chinese to do business with Chinese people. Also, asChina is famous for its history and culture, many foreigners study Chinese to learn more about its history and culture.I think promoting the learning of Chinese across the world is of great importance. It can strengthen the communication between China and other countries in many different areas, such as business, education, science, etc.We can promote the learning of Chinese in the following ways. First, train Chinese teachers and send them abroad to teach Chinese. Second, offer foreign students more opportunities to study Chinese in China.第29期A版测试题解析完形填空作者在一个农场参加了研讨班，这让他对与食品供应相关的行业颇有感触。

She is also one of the most powerful symbols of the civil rights movement in America.She was born in 1933 in North Carolina. At the age of seven she was already performing music in a local church, later moving to New York to study classical piano at the Juilliard School of Music, a rare opportunity for a black woman in the 1950s.Nina became deeply involed in the American civil rights movement, capturing the tragedy and pain of the assassination(暗杀) of Martin Luther King in her song Why? The King of Love Is Dead. She later made another attack on racial injustice in the US with her song Mississippi Goddam, written after a bombing of a church in Alabama that killed a group of black schoolgirls.In 1969 her song To Be Young, Gifted and Black made her a role model for African-American women and became an anthem (颂歌) for the movement to end segregation (种族隔离) in the United States. The jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater later declared, "I would say the person who influenced me the most as a young black girl was Nina Simone because she was so outspoken." .In 1974, after becoming disappointed with life in the United States, she moved to Barbados for a while before settling in the south of France in the early 1990s. In an interview in 1998 she said that her protest songs had been her personal attempt to defend the rights of American blacks. Nina blamed racism in the United States for her decision to live abroad, saying that racial inequality in the US, even then, was "worse than ever".31. What's the first paragraph mainly about?A.

FranceCI have been working with Chloe since May 2009 and I have found my experience both challenging and rewarding. Chloe has had a tough childhood and has very low self-esteem, and self-confidence which I believe led to the problems she faces today.I met with Chloe and her family for the first time at her home. Naturally I had a picture in my mind of what they all might be like. My first impression couldn't have been further from my pre-conceived idea. They lived in a lovely house; she had lovely parents who cared so much about her, but somehow nine months ago the once angelic girl turned into the girl from hell. Chloe was expelled from school and she wouldn't go home and stayed out all night without telling her parents where she was. It was at this point that the Children's Society got involved with Chloe and her parents to try and help with the situation.Some of the activities that Chloe and I do together range from snow-boarding, to lunch, and one-to-one activity work that involves self-esteem building activities and of course the most important thing for Chloe is having someone to talk to and to be listened to by someone who is not her parent, the social worker or even her friend.During my work with Chloe, we have faced some difficult situations together. Luckily my relaiionship with Chloe and her entire family has always been very good. Her parents would telephone me when there is a problem or when they wish to talk to someone because they do not know whom to turn to.I actually find this helpful because it feels like a team effort. Chloe may not always tell the truth about her progress but having the whole family involved in some areas makes my job easier.I really do believe the mentoring relationship is an effective tool in helping Chloe through this difficult period in her life.36. Before the author visited Chloe, she might have thought that __________.A. Chloe had a wonderful familyB. Chloe's parents loved her very muchC. Chloe's family lived in a poor houseD. Chloe was an angelic girl37. Before the Children's Society offered help to Chloe, Chloe __________.A. had dropped out of schoolB. had not said a word to her parents for nine monthsC. preferred to stay out all day longD. had tried to change herself but failed38. What did the author think would be the most important thing in changing Chloe?A. Self-esteem building activities.B. Love from her parents.C. Communicating with someone.D. Having meals with her parents.39. It is implied in the tcxt that Chloe's parents __________.A. didn't trust the authorB. would turn to the author for helpC. were always uncertain about Chloe's progress首先请阅读下列新闻图片及提示性文字：A.Test scores on a national exam show US students have improved inmath but not in reading.B.Collectors' passions vary from buttons to beer bottles.C.How to run: one stride at a time.D.A Wave Glider measures currents off the coast of California.E.Working at home: is this the future of work?F.Entrance ramp to the presidential Planalto Palace in Brasilia.以下是关于这些新闻图片的具体说明。

By "plan", I don't mean 5 the menu; this is more about sitting together with the birthday child to 6 about what he or she wants for a party. Planning early will give you time to 7 if problems arise.A birrhday party can be incredibly simple if we consider it as a "celebration" instead of a "party". For my daughter, her birthday was about friends, fun, and 8 gifis with the sick kids in the hospital.

"Oh! We'relike a brother and sister pie!" laughed Joseph. We struggled together, thrilled to be reunited. Despite our time apart, there was no awkwardness.That's the beauty of being siblings (兄弟姐妹). Quite possibly, we are the most relaxed when we're with each other. We all know that we are unconditionally loved and accepted for who we are. "Well, of course," you will say. "You're siblings." But would you change your mind if I now tellyou that I am adopted?I have been asked by people on more than one occasion whether my sisters are closer to each other than they are to me because they are "real" sisters. Part of me finds it hard to believe that some people can be so superficial (肤浅的) about blood and love."Bloodd" really has no relevance to my sibling relationships. What has shaped our relationships is our shared set of experiences. Only my sisters and I remember the time when Emily and I sailed too far out to sea and Dad nearly had a heart attack! Only we were permittedl to laugh at Jessica for the silly things she did when she was young! Only we remember the time when Joseph locked himself in my university room and we had to call for help at 11 pm at night.We have memories which form part of ourselves. They belong to us, were created by us, are treasured by us, and will be carried by all of us through our entire lives. Bits will be added, but nothing will be taken away. For some, blood will always connect them to their siblings, but for us, love is thicker than water.26.

Now, it's up to individuals and local organizations to celebrate this day.We have not heard of left-handed parades (游行) or large parties. There will always be some mention of this day in a few newspapers or local TV stations that can be easily missed by the public.

After the students study poetry in their reading workshop and write poetry in their writing workshop for a month, we celebrate their finished pieces by opening the Poetry Cafe and having students invite their parents and other family members to an evening event.We transform a common area of our school into our Poetry Cafe. We create a stage with a microphone for the student readers, serve snacks and coffee, and turn the lights down to set the mood. Students are asked to wear black shirts and jeans to honor the "beatnik culture" of the 1950s and early 1960s, when poetry readings at small coffee shops were popular.Before planning the event, you will need to determine which part of your school would be the best place to set up a cafe. A regular classroom may not be large enough to seat all of the guests, but you do not want to pick a place (such as a gym or a dining hall) that is so large that it loses the feeling of a crowded coffee shop, either. We use a group discussion area in our building.One at a time, we call the students' names. They take their place on the stage and read their poems aloud. Instead of clapping at the end of each poem, guests are asked to snap(打响指) their fingers in honor of the true "beatnik culture". Each student reads two poems written by himself/ herself and one poem by an author he / she studied in the poetry workshop.Thoughout the student readings we have "open mic" breaks when parents and other family members can read aloud their own poems or read a poem from a favorite author or book. The students love it!36. The Poetry Cafe is opened __________.A. only for students who have a special interest in poetryB. to teach srudents how to write poemsC. as a way to improve parent-child relationshipsD. to give students a chance to show what they have learnt about poetry37.

It seldom took place at coffee shops.D. It forbade snapping one's fingers.38. Where is the Poetry Cafe held?A. In a gym.B. In the school dining hall.C. In a regular classroom.D. In a group discussion area.39. Which of the following things are done at the Poetry Cafe?①Students write new poems on the spot.②Parents read their favorite poems.③Students give all kinds of performances.④Members enjoy snacks and coffee.A. ①②B. ①③C. ②③D. ②④40.

But the moon maysiill hold some surprises. Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have a new theory about our moon. They think that Earth once had two moons.When you look at a full moon in the sky, it appears perfectly round. In Fact, the moon is slightly lopsided(不匀称的). And the far side of the moon, which we don't see from Earth, is very hilly. The side we see every night has a more even surface.The new theory may explain the moon's lopsidedness. Billions of years ago, Earth may have had two moons. About 4.4 billion years ago, the smaller moon may have run into the other in what scientists call "the big splat".The smaller moon would have been drawn to the larger moon by gravity. "They must have collided. There was no way out ... The speed must havc been slow." said Erik Asphaug, who is a planetary scientist at the University of California.The rocks and crust from the smaller moon would have then spread over and around the bigger moon. The "splat" would have been too slow to create a big hole as a faster move would have done. "The physical theory is really surprisingly similar to a pie in the face," Asphaug said."It probably took about a day for the 'splat' to be complete and the near and far sides of the moon looked different then."The theory is capturing the interest of other planetary scientists. Alan Stern, former NASA associate administrator for science, said it is a "very clever new idea". But, Stern adds, the theoryis not easily tested to learn whether.it is right. So for now, we can continue to look at the moon and wonder.41. What is the new theory about the moon?A. The moon is slightly lopsided.B. There once were two moons.C. The moon creates little gravity.D. The moon once ran into Earth.42. The side of the moon that faces us is __________.A. bigB. Relatively evenC. slimD. very hilly43. The underlined word "collided" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by "__________".A. competedB. risenC. crashedD. missed44. According to Erik Asphaug, __________.A. "the big splat" must have been very fastB. "the big splat" left a big hole in the moonC. the moon might become more even in the futureD. the hilly surface might have come from a smaller moon45. What is Alan Stern's attitude towards the new theory?A. He believes it can't be true.B. He believes it is true because he has done similar research.C. He is very interested in it but thinks it still needs testing.D. He has no interest in it at all.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

However, given children’s actual experience on study tours, many parents are now questioning its true value.I think such worries are unnecessary. Travelling abroad, whether for study or for pleasure, is a good way for students to broaden their horizon and become more sophisticated. My friend Dave went on such a tour, and said it was the most rewarding experience of his life. He attended a two-week course at Oxford University and then travelled to different parts of the UK, all of which helped him learn more about the history, culture and society of Britain. He was so impressed by the academic atmosphere of Oxford University that now he is dreaming of studying there in the future.My own dream is to travel to America, attend some lectures in my dream university,Harvard University and travel to different parts of the country with local students. This way I may have more opportunities to speak English and learn more about the country’s culture and life.Version IIMore and more parents engage their children in the expensive micro-foreign study tours. However they fail to see the expected results and begin to question the value of the study tours.I could n’t agree more with the author. Students on such tours seldom improve their spoken English, gain a shallow understanding of foreign customs, and return loaded with shopping rather than cultural enrichment.I went on such a tour four years ago. I still remember how other students behaved in class: they are all obsessed with their own business and paid no attention to theteachers. They were quite “enjoying”foreign classrooms: whispering and laughing, reading Chinese romantic novels, playing game-boys, or just chatting online.Obviously, experiences like this don’t make any educational sense. Perhaps, if tours involve students not only from China, but also from other countries, it will force students to communicate in English, which, at least in my opinion will greatly improve their communicative English skills.。

Yes, he 4 each and every one of them. Every moming he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to 5 that day. He had frequent visits from his grandkids and looked forward to them. Kids would have the place 6 up instantly —toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel 7 to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not bothered by the 8 or chaos at all. He was never 9 with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with hugs and kisses.I felt that relationship wasn't good enough because he didn't actually do anyihing wiih my children. My dad didn't read to the children, and they 10 played games together. He didn't take them out for walks or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents did. It made me sad that he was 11 to get on with the kids.A couple of weeks- after his death, my daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight io share a 12 of him done by herself.

I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much more accurate and came up much quicker when he stood up. Could he be more focused while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what we always believe. We tend to believe that being quiet and calm is a sure way to success. Such a child will have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that are active and loud will only be objects of stares, and parents would say, " My kids will not be like that, I can assure you."However, later on some of these parents would come to realize that their kids were born with their own set of DNA and personality traits. They may not act the way you expect them to act, and all you can do is to love and accept them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating, just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. The old way may have worked for us but it doesn't mean we need to carry it on for generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy, and that's just the way I want my kids to live their life.26. The author tricd to keep his son seated so that the boy __________.A. would feel more relaxedB. wouldn't make the author upsetC. would be more focused on his studyD. wouldn't take up too much room27. How did the author's son react when he was asked to sit down?A. He ignored the request and insisted on standing.B. He obeyed the author's order but forgot about it later.C. Hc explained to the author why he wanted to stand up.D. He pretended that he felt uncomforlable when he was sitting.28.

The author suggested that parents should __________.A. encourage children to do things in their own wayB. teach children to use the traditional way to do thingsC. tell children what they are expected to doD. teach children the imponance of being unique30. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Study hard and you'll be successful.B. Make friends with your children.C. Success on your children's own terms.D. Help with your children's study.BThere is little doubt that humans used herbs (药草) for healing well before anything could be written about them.Many authorities recognize Hippocrates as the "father of' medicine" for the European tradition. The treatment of the Hippocratic physician reflected his fundamental approach. It was the treatment of an individual, not a disease, and the treatment of the whole body, not any part of it. Treatment was based on the fundamental idea that nature had a strong healing force of its own, and that the main role of the physician was to assist nature in this healing process, rather than to direct it. The main ally of the physician in assisting nature in this process was diet. Only if diet failed were drugs used, and surgery was a last resort.The great philosopher Aristotle was the son of a medical man and a medical man himself, but his main influence on the development of Europe medicine was through his student, Theophrastus, called the "father of botany(植物学)". He was the first known author in Europe of a classification system for plants with accompanying comments about their medicinal value. He described about 450 different medicinal plants. However, this text has not come down through history, and is only noted in later commentaries.The first document of herbal medicine that is regarded as a medical classic in the European tradition was De Muteria Medica by Dioscorides. Dioscorides was a surgeon accompanying the army. He traveled far, collected much information, and gained considerable medical experience. Dioscorides had recorded herb knowledge for 600 plants. The book's pictures were considered the only authoritalive ones for European medicinal plants for over l,000 years.

Headlines about Middle Eastern security, Arctic oil exploration, nuclear safety, or renewable energy assume that the energy is there for us; the question is how we use it safely. Amid the discussion, one group of people is consistently overlooked: those who don't have energy —those who are still living in the dark ages.One in five people in the world today has no electricity. Two out of every five people have no clean way of cooking. They rely on coal cooking sloves that contribute to the indoor air pollution that kills about l.6 million people every year. Almost all energy-poor people, 95 percent, live in Africa or Asia, and over 80 percent live in the countryside.On Monday, a special conference called "Energy for All" began looking at how to help these people get the energy they need to improve their well-being and health.Switching the lights on for the world's poor by 2030 would require a mere 3 percent of projected global energy investment (投资), about 48 billion dollars per year. But that's more than five times what is currently spent in the area. Most investment these days goes into connections in the world's big cities becausc that's where the profits are. Rural areas are being left behind, particularly as one key energy source is oil, whose price has increased greatly in the last decade.So it requires political will, strong regulation and a much bigger effort from private companies for everyone to have energy by 2030. Governments must set targets for electricity access, while overseas funding must concentrate on these areas that are not profitable enough.As with continued global population growth, many wonder what "Energy for All" will mean for the climate and environment. Yet the experts see no major problem.41. We can learn from the first paragraph that __________.A. people who already have energy should be removed from the global energy agendaB. much attention is paid to people who have energyC. technology for the use of renewable energy iS developing rapidlyD. people still living in the dark ages don 't have to face energy problems42. How many people don't have electricity in their daily life?A. 5% of Africans.B. 10% of people living in the countryside.C. 20% of the world population.D. 40% of the world population.43. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Cooking is the main cause of indoor air pollution.B. Global energy investment is decreasing year by year.C. Most energy investment nowadays aims to earn money.D. The incrcase in oil prices has made many rural areas run out of energy.44. The fifth paragraph is mainly about __________.A. the measures for people who don't have encrgy to enjoy electricity accessB. the reason why global society should help people who don't have energyC. the importance of teaching poor people to use energy in a safe wayD. the benefits of giving electricity accces to poor people45. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph?A. Why people are interested in the "Energy for All" project.B. Problems brought about by global population growth.C. lnfluence of climate change on energy supply.D. How the "Energy for All" project will affect the environment.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most r ecently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. Unfortun ately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the excepti on of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a st udent‘s academic grade.This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradic tory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensiv e equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do the ir homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implicati on that standards need to be lowered for poor children.District administrators say that homework will still be a pat of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see vey little difference on their report cards. Some students might do well on state tests without com pleting their homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empo wering teachers to find what works best for their students, the policy imposes a flat, acro ss-the-board rule.At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about hom ework. If the district finds homework to be unimportan t to its students‘ academic achieve ment, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments, not make them count for al most nothing. Conversely, if homework does nothing to ensure that the homework students are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is responsi ble for setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts public hearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right.21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____.[A] is receiving more criticism[B]is no longer an educational ritual[C]is not required for advanced courses[D]is gaining more preferences22.L.A.Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students____ _.[A]tend to have moderate expectations for their education[B]have asked for a different educational standard[C]may have problems finishing their homework[D]have voiced their complaints about homework23.According to Paragraph 3,one problem with the policy is that it may____.[A]discourage students from doing homework[B]result in students' indifference to their report cards[C]undermine the authority of state tests[D]restrict teachers' power in education24. As mentioned in Paragraph 4, a key question unanswered about homework is whe ther______. [A] it should be eliminated[B]it counts much in schooling[C]it places extra burdens on teachers[D]it is important for grades25.A suitable title for this text could be______.[A]Wrong Interpretation of an Educational Policy[B]A Welcomed Policy for Poor Students[C]Thorny Questions about Homework[D]A Faulty Approach to HomeworkText2Pretty in pink: adult women do not rememer being so obsessed with the colour, yet i t is pervasive in our young girls‘ lives. Tt is not that pink is intrinsically bad, but it is s uch a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls‘ identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocen ce. Looking around, I despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls‘ lives and interests.Girls‘ attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children w ere not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washin g machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What‘s more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually consid ered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strengt h. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised fe mininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children‘s marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it bega n to seem inherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for t he first few critical years.I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kins, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take th e toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research i n to children‘s behaviour: wrong. Turns out, acdording to Daniel Cook, a historian of child hood consumerism, it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacrurers in t he 1930s.Trade publications counselled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they s hould create a ―third stepping stone‖ between infant wear and older kids‘ clothes. Tt was only after ―toddler‖became a common shoppers‘ term that it evolved into a br oadly accept ed developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sur e-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magni fy gender differences –or invent them where they did not previously exist.26.By saying "it is...the rainbow"(Line 3, Para.1),the author means pink______.[A]should not be the sole representation of girlhood[B]should not be associated with girls' innocence[C]cannot explain girls' lack of imagination[D]cannot influence girls' lives and interests27.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is true of colours?[A]Colours are encoded in girls' DNA.[B]Blue used to be regarded as the colour for girls.[C]Pink used to be a neutral colour in symbolising genders.[D]White is prefered by babies.28.The author suggests that our perception of children's psychological development wa s much influenced by_____.[A]the marketing of products for children[B]the observation of children's nature[C]researches into children's behavior[D]studies of childhood consumption29.We may learn from Paragraph 4 that department stores were advised to_____.[A]focus on infant wear and older kids' clothes[B]attach equal importance to different genders[C]classify consumers into smaller groups[D]create some common shoppers' terms30.It can be concluded that girls' attraction to pink seems to be____.[A] clearly explained by their inborn tendency[B]fully understood by clothing manufacturers[C] mainly imposed by profit-driven businessmen[D]well interpreted by psychological expertsText3In2010.afederaljudgeshookAmerica'panieshadwonpatentsforis olatedDNAfordecades-by2005some20%ofhumangeneswereparented.ButinMarch2010ajudgeruledt hatgeneswereunpatentable.Executiveswereviolentlyagitated.TheBiotechnologyIndustryOrganisatio n(BIO),atradegroup,assuredmembersthatthiswasjusta―preliminarystep‖inalongerbattle.OnJuly29ththeywererelieved,atleasttemporarily.Afederalappealscourtoverturnedthepriordecis ion,rulingthatMyriadGeneticscouldindeedholbpatentstotwogenssthathelpforecastawoman'sriskofbr eastcancer.ThechiefexecutiveofMyriad,acompanyinUtah,saidtherulingwasablessingtofirmsandpati entsalike.Butascompaniescontinuetheirattemptsatpersonalisedmedicine,thecourtswillremainratherbusy.

Before it ends,it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. A nd ultimately, it is likely to reshape our politics,our culture, and the character of our soci ety for years.No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver linings in this national economic d isaster. Many said that unemployment, while extremely painful, had improved them in som e ways; they had become less materialistic and more financially prudent; they were more aware of the struggles of others. In limited respects, perhaps the recession will leave socie ty better off. At the very least, it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy r iches and bigger houses, and put a necessary end to an era of reckless personal spending.But for the most part, these benefits seem thin, uncertain, and far off. In The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth, the economic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U.S. ,lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive, and have usually stoppe d or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms. Anti-immigrant sentiment typically incre ases, as does conflict between races and classes.Income inequality usually falls during a recession, but it has not shrunk in this one,. Indeed, this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides, and decrease opport unities to cross them--- especially for young people. The research of Till Von Wachter, th e economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recessi on see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairl y quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.In the internet age, it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden winthin American society. More difficult, in the moment , is discerning precisely h ow these lean tim es are affecting society‘s character. In many respects, the U.S. was more socially tolerant entering this resession than at any time in its history, and a variety of n ational polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results. We will have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric. But they certainly it, and all the more so the longer they extend.36.By saying ―to find silver linings‖(Line 1,Para.2)the author suggest that the jobless try to___.[A]seek subsidies from the govemment[B]explore reasons for the unermployment[C]make profits from the troubled economy[D]look on the bright side of the recession37.According to Paragraph 2,the recession has made people_____.[A]realize the national dream[B]struggle against each other[C]challenge their lifestyle[D]reconsider their lifestyle38.Benjamin Friedman believe that economic recessions may_____.[A]impose a heavier burden on immigrants[B]bring out more evils of human nature[C]Promote the advance of rights and freedoms[D]ease conflicts between races and classes39.The research of Till Von Wachther suggests that in recession graduates from elite universities tend to _____.[A]lag behind the others due to decreased opportunities[B]catch up quickly with experienced employees[C]see their life chances as dimmed as the others‘[D]recover more quickly than the others40.The author thinks that the influence of hard times on society is____.[A]certain[B]positive[C]trivial[D]destructivePart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by finding information from the left column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the right column.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEERT 1.(10 points)―Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bot t om the History of the Great Men who have worked here,‖ wrote the Victorian sage Tho mas Carlyle. Well, not any more it is not.Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This coul d be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about ho w we now approach the past: less concerned with learning from forefathers and more inte rested in feeling their pain. Today, we want empathy, not inspiration.From the earliest days of the Renaissance, the writing of history meant recounting the exemplary lives of great men. In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus –On Famous Men, highlighting the virtus (or virtue) of classical heroes. Petrarch celebrated their greatness in conquering fortune and rising to the top. This was t he biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, thechampioned cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders.Over time, the attributes of greatness shifted. The Romantics commemorated the leadi ng painters and authors of their day, stressing the uniqueness of the artist's personal exper ience rather than public glory. By contrast, the Victorian author Samual Smiles wrote Self -Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers , industrialists and explores . "The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, if patient purpose, resolut e working and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formulation of truly noble and many char acter, exhibit,"wrote Smiles."what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself"His biographies of James Walt, Richard Arkwright and Josiah Wedgwood were held up as be acons to guide the working man through his difficult life.This was all a bit bourgeois for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte. These epo chal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.Communist Manifesto. For them, history did nothing, it possessed no immense wealth nor waged battles:―It is man, real, living man who does all that.‖ And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle. As such, it needed to appreciate the economic realities, the social contexts and power relations in which each epoch stood. Fo r:―Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given and transmitted from the past.‖This was the tradition which revolutionized our appreciation of the past. In place of Thomas Carlyle, Britain nurtured Christopher Hill, EP Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. His tory from below stood alongside biographies of great men. Whole new realms of understa nding —from gender to race to cultural studies —were opened up as scholars unpicked the multiplicity of lost societies.

You say more and more people spend too much time on TV, computer or cell phone. You also spend much time on them. But it is bad for health and affects relationship with friends and families.Many Chinese also spend too much time in front of screens just like Americans. People are attracted by so many interesting programs and games. I used to spend much time on screens, but now I try some activities without them.Usually, I play basketball with my classmates on the weekend. This makes me physically strong and mentally relaxed. In addition, I will read some books besides the textbooks. I think they teach me more about life.There are many other activities you can try, like playing outside, taking part in some useful activities, and talking to your friends and parents. In addition, you can go to parks, climb mountains and so on. At first it may be hard to leave the screens, but you will soon find them less interesting or meaningful.Best wishes!Yours,Li Hua完形填空：1.

Her upstairs neighbor was playing his stereo again. She had asked him twice already to turn the volume down. The first time she asked, he was surprised,16 (say) he didn't know that she could hear his stereo. "Y es," she said, "it's just like your stereo was in 17 living room. I can hear every note!"

I buckled down in high school, took the hardest classes, and maintained good scores. At that moment I never looked back until recently.A few weeks ago I looked back on my decision. For the first time I questioned being a surgeon. I said to myself. "Maybe surgery isn't what I want with my life; maybe I should look at some other career paths." So that was what I did. I talked to several people about why I had this change of heart, and honestly it scared me. I had my whole life planned out but at that moment, things had changed. I decided the only thing to do was to explore some other options.I knew I had a passion for writing, but I was ignoring it, pushing it aside, and considering it unrealistic. But then it hit me. For the first time in four year, I thought of something other than surgery and with it came a sudden case. It allowed me to step back and take a look at where I was heading.My advice to high school students is to ask yourself some questions. What is the one thing you love doing? Where do you want to be with your life? What is your favorite moment from high school? Don't worry if your answer is, "I'm not sure." If something makes you happy, pursue it, take risks, and make the most of your life. Enjoy your high school life, make the most of every situation, and most importantly, stay positive. Don ' t worry about it; it will all work out.26.

The goal of the symposium is to use our collective brainpower to advance management of the sea.It doesn't take a scientist to explain the deep emotional connection many of us feel to the sea. Ask any surfer, beach-goer, fisherman or diver and they will talk about the calm that comes over them out on the water or the hypnotic(催眠的) effect of waves crashing on the shore.We celebrate those connections annually on June 8, World Occans Day. It's a time to be grateful for all that the ocean provides, from food and jobs to clean air and the adventure of exploration. It's also a time to check marine protection efforts.Around the world, people are paying more and more attention, and the Blue Mind Symposium is just one of a number of recent conferences that have brought leading thinkers in ocean protection together to share ideas. The 3rd annual Blue Vision Summit explored opportunities for everyday action on ocean protection, and the 2nd International Marine Conservation Congress focused on worldwide advances in adopting marine protected areas.Right now, just over l% of our oceans are protected. That means many of the important nurseries for ocean wildlife have the risk of being damaged by a variety of pressures, from climate change to habitat destruction.Around the world, there have been major advances in ocean protection, from the 3,800-square-mile marine reserve created in Costa Rica to China's first seven ocean parks. And, closer to home, networks of marine protected areas are in place and being monitored along half our coast. That's cause for celebration, and for hope.31.

What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A. Suggestions on ocean protection.B. Efforts people have made to protect oceans.C. Reasons for protecting oceans.D. Benefits of ocean protection.35. What does the writer think of the present situation of ocean protection?A. It is disappointing.B. It is not scientific.C. It is hopeful.D. It is getting the opposite effects.CIn the middle of the 20th century people were worried about whales. The number of whales killed worldwide came up to 66,000 per year. However, people weren't worried about the whale as an endangered animal. Instead, they were worried about the whale industry, which would disappear if there were no whales. In 1946, the International Whaling Commission was established. It limited the whale hunting for every country and controlled the whale industry. But the commission recognized ihat the limitation wasn't enough. They set a worldwide law against hunting whales with only two exceptions: the hunt for scientific research and "aboriginal whaling". Aboriginal whaling allows some countries to hunt a limited number of whales because it is a part of their culture. Some countries like Japan and Norway don't care about the law; they make excuses to hunt whales and sell the products. They only care about the money.Many fishermen complain that dolphins, also a kind of Whale, steal their fish. Therefore, they kill thousands of them. In fact, this is not the truth. In reality there are so many fishermen who steal the fish from each other. Some whale hunters say that they catch the animals for scientists. They have to research what whales are eating. For that, they kill them and look into their stomach. The truth is that they only want to sell the meat. Today scientists want to observe live whales for their research.Many whale families are not protected and thousands of them are killed. Nobody knows if all whale families would survive, even if humans end all whale hunting today. The pollution of the oceans incrcases fast and the poison gets into the bodies of the animals. Many of them get sick and die. The human being has killed 90-95% of many whale families. Others, are already extinct.Today some international organizations try to protect whales. They make reports to explain how important and endangered whales are. Now people are becoming more interested in whales and a complete new industry has developed, whale watching, which you may want to learn about.36. The text is mainly about __________.A. whale industry B whale researchC. whale productD. whale protection37. In the middle of the 20th century, what people really worried was that __________.A. more whales would be killed worldwide per yearB. the whale would become an endangered animalC. the whale industry would disappearD. the law against hunting whales would come into effect38. Why do many fishermen complain about dolphins?A. Because dolphins steal their fish.B. Because they want to make an excuse for killing dolphins.C. Bacause there are so few dolphins for them to hunt.D. Because people have misunderstood their purpose of hunting dolphins.39. What can we infer from the text?A. Japan and Norway hunt whales because it is a part of their culture.B. Few people now know how important and endangered whales are.C. If we stop hunting whales now, all whale families would survive.D. Many whale fimilies are in danger or extinct because of humans' activities.40. What will the author probably tell us about next?A. Whale watching.B. Whale hunters.C. Whale hunting.D. Whale families.DIt took a week, but the Evolta robot can now be called an Ironman(铁人).Three Evolta robots —one for the swimming part, one for the biking part and one for the running part —were challenged to finish the famous Hawaii triathlon (三项全能运动) course in l68 hours. Each robot is about l/l0th human size, so organizers figured they would need 10 times as long as a human does to complete the 140.6-mile course.The robot crew and a large audience gathered to watch as the little mechanical guy reached the finish line in l66 hours, 56 minutes. After a spray of champagne and words of congratulations from Ironman race director Diana Bertsch, the robots were presented with flower garlands(花环）and the entire robot crew jumped into the sea.Robot creator Tomotaka Takahashi said the challenge proved the Panasonic Evolta rechargeablc batteries are powerful, durable and functional. Takahashi thanked the crew and the people of Hawaii, saying the challenge would have been impossible without their support, "We thought we were strangers doing a strange thing, but we felt support from all the people," he said.Takahashi's robots have conquered three previous challenges. In 2008, one robot climbed a rope from the floor of the Grand Canyon about l,700 feet to the cliff top. That took 6 hours, 46 minutes. In 2009, a robot survived the famed French Le Mans car racing circuit for 24 hours. In 2010, a robot used the rechargcable batteries for two months, running fiom Tokyo to Kyoto. And a fifth challenge? "I don't know about that," Takahashi said. "But I would like to do another challenge."Takahashi said he had plenty of time to take a look at Hawaii while walking alongside his robots for a week. "To see all the sights of Hawaii," he said, "definitely inspires me to build a new robot."41. How long does it take a human to complete the Hawaii triathlon course?A. About 10 hours.B. About 17 hours.C. About 168 hours.D. About 140 hours.42. The robot crew jumped into the sea in order to __________.A. thank the audienceB. save the robotsC. celebrate their successD. conduct the robots43. According to Tomotaka Takahashi, the meaning of the challenge is that __________.A. it shows robots can swimB. it proves robots can do what people doC. it proves the batteries of the robots are greatD. it attracts people's attention to the development of robots44. We can leam from the fifth paragraph that __________.A. Takahashi is likely to take more challengesB. the Evolta robot has once competed with humans in a challengeC. the Evolta robot will take a challenge every year in the futureD. the Evolta robot's batteries can be used for no more than two months45.
