However, life can be (16) when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I (17) a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always (18) by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and (19) was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really (20) person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her (21) . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost (22) to deal with was that the day before the (23) , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her (24) of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to (25) . It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerrybecame (26) her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to (27) everything so harshly (刻薄).

I'm not suggesting you (31) problems, or that you pretend things are (32) than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—(33) most of the time, and especially when it's not a reallybig (34) .Train yourself to "bite your tongue", and with a little (35) , you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.16. A. lonely B. great C. quiet D. uneasy17. A. received B. answered C. expected D. rejected18.

What do we know from the first paragraph? ______A. The author's father was born in a worker's family.B. Those born stupid could not change their life.C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world.D. The poor could hardly afford school education.41.

When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.48. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ______ .A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have49. What is the key to breaking the old patterns? ______ .A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.50. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?______ .A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.51. What does the author intend to tell us? ______ .A. It's easier than we think to get what we want.B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.EGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging,yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However,studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups,it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health.It's an opportunity to be social,release endorphins(内啡肽),and improve your strength.Additionally,group exercise createsa community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard.Theinstrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves.If you feel you can relate,then group training is an even better option for you.It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor.If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored,you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track.Don't letfitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle,it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support.I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health.Surround yourself with people who uplift,encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class,with a friend.Plan to go for a jog together.Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals.First,decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive.Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.52. The first paragraph focuses on ______ .A. the greatest challenge of group exerciseB. the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC. the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD. the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups53. The underlined word"upbeat"in the second paragraph probably means" ______ ".A. cheerfulB. averageC. seriousD. temporary54.

What would be the best title for the passage? ______ .A. Seeking SupportB. Supporting HealthC. Improving Your StrengthD. Building Up Fitness.56. Sometimes we have disagreements with people.When this (76)h______,the important thing is to try not to let a calm discussion turn int o a heated argument.Here (77 )______ my tips for you.The (78)f______ thing I would say is that the way you begin the conversation is very important.Imagine you are a student and you share a flat (79)______another student who you think isn't doing her share of the hous ework.If you say,"Look,you never do your share of the housework.(80)______ are you going to do about it?",the discussion will very soon turn into an argument.It's much more (81)______(有帮助)to say something like,"I think we had (82)b______have another look about how we divide up the housework.Maybe t here is a better way of dealing with it."My second piece of (83)a______ is simple.If you're the person who is in the wrong,just admit it!This is the easiest and best way to avoid an argument .Just make an (84)______(道歉),and move on.The other person will have more respect for you (85)______ the future if you do that.57. 请阅读下面图画,按要求用英语写一篇词数为120左右的短文.内容包括:(1)描述画面;(2)概述其含义;(3)谈谈个人感想.注意:(1)短文开头已给出,不计入总词数;(2)可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;(3)短文中不能出现与本人相关的信息;参考词汇:凿,钻:boreIn the picture,______.答案和解析1.【答案】D【解析】A。

However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can be sharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—53 most of the time, and especially when it's not areally big 54 .Train yourself to “bite your tongue”, and with a little 55 , you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.36. A. lonely B. great C. quiet D. uneasy37. A. received B. answered C. expected D. rejected38.

Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy (辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!56. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must __ .A. wear various formal clothesB. roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC. kick or throw their cheeseD. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos57. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A. In New Mexico.B. In the Caribbean.C. In Australia.D. In China.58.

The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.B. More than 10,000 Chinese take pail in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.BPapa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There's so much to learn,” he'd say. “Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.”He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.“Felice,” he'd say, “tell me what you learned today.”“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....”Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal… Hmm… We ll…” he'd say. “Get the map; let's see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.60. What do we know from the first paragraph?A. The author's father was born in a worker's family.B. Those born stupid could not change their life.C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world.D. The poor could hardly afford school education.61. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “ _A. one new thingB. a requestC. the newsD. some comment62. It can be learned from the passage that the author __ .A. enjoyed talking about newsB. knew very well about NepalC. felt regret about those wasted daysD. appreciated his father's educational technique63. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author?A. Continual learning.B. Showing talents.C. Family get-together.D. Winning Papa's approval.64. The author's father can be best described as __ .A. an educator expert at training future teachersB. a parent insistent on his children's educationC. a participant willing to share his knowledgeD. a teacher strict about everything his students didCSIGN YOUR CHILD UP FOR “FLY TO THE MOON CLUB”AND ENJOY A FREE * FLIGHT TO ANY DESTINATION IN ASIA!With a registration fee of just $50 per child, children under the age of 12 can join Eagle Airways'FL Y TO THE MOON CLUB as members.They can then enjoy the same benefits onboard Eagle Airways' newest Boeing-797 to any destination in the world!BENEFITS YOU CAN'T MISS!• A free * flight to any destination in Asia•30% off any course at Tanya Language School•20% off any purchase made at Ruby Bookstore• A free notebook with every purchase above $50 at Starlight Stationery• A free bowl of dessert for a family of four at Don's Diners dinner ordered• A birthday gift on your child's birthday• A free album containing pictures taken during the journeyAll bookings made before 12 September will receive free travel insurance for the entire family!** Insurance is issued by Live Life Insurance Group.10% OFF ALL BOOKINGSfor departures from 5 to 11 September* Child must be accompanied by two paying adults.** Terms and conditions apply.65.

It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking whatwe wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and “what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling (烦人的) suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you're dropping “you”.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.68. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ______________ .A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have69. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.70. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.71. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It's easier than we think to get what we want.B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.EGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins(内啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.72. The first paragraph focuses on ____ .A. the greatest challenge of group exerciseB. the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC. the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD. the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups73. The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably means “A. cheerfulB. averageC. seriousD. temporal*)'74. When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary .A. to sustain a colorful lifestyleB. to party on weekends with positive peopleC. to try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD. to surround yourself with supportive people75. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Seeking SupportB. Supporting HealthC. Improving Your StrengthD. Building Up Fitness书面表达(满分25分)请阅读下面图画,按要求用英语写一篇词数为120左右的短文。

Aerospace engineering is the primary 36 of engineering concerned with the science and technology of aircraft and spacecraft.In 2014, he was one of 80 high school students worldwide who 37 a six-week science and engineering program at MIT. During the program, he was 38 by the institute’s scientists, and developed a method to identify inactive satellites. This method, called OASIS, is designed 39 a way to help manage space debris(碎片), which 40 operating satellites. “One solution to this problem is a 41 robot that can gather pieces of space debris and store them in orbit,” he says. “These pieces could be 42 to new satellites later, thus 43 the costs and launch weights of new satellites.” However, 44 satellite identification technology would be needed for this solution, and that’s what Lochie is working on. “I hope this method would be put into practice in the near future, 45 , in the next 10 years.” he says.Lochie has entered the 46 of the Young Innovators category(类别)of t he Australian Innovation(创新) Challenge Awards with his OASIS. This category is open to students aged 21 years or 47 and carries a $ 5,000 prize. If he won, he would use the money to help fund 48 research into OASIS. “My plan for using the money would be to try to use materials which could 49 the extreme environment of space,” he says.He is also considering how to 50 the technology to organizations such as NASA and satellite manufacturers(制造商).Lochie’s 51 in aerospace engineering was aroused by the big dish antenna(碟形天线)at NASA’s tracking station near Canberra, which he visited in his early teens. He said his software design and development teacher at Canberra Grammar School 52 him, too.“He taught me valuable project management and skills which I applied to OASIS.”Lochie has been attending Canberra Grammar School and will soon 53 exams for admission to universities. He 54 his time between schoolwork, his personal 55 projects such as OASIS and the development of apps, rock climbing, and playing classical violin.

Every step seemed tiring, and every step was another to survive. As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me, and my anger began to return. I was annoyed by the loss, and my belief in God was beginning to fade. I couldn’t understand why these things happened. So as I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on? Why did I not feel her presence anymore? Is there a heaven?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Th inking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. The thought of having to say where my car was seemed like too much to bear. “No, excuse me,” she said again.At this point, I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. As I got closer, I was startled(惊吓) --- was this my grandmother’s nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months? I soon realized that she wasn’t, although the resemblance was unusual. Then, I realized that this Adu was searching for something in her bag. Surprisingly, I was overcome by a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time the lady was searching. Others would be nervous by a stranger reaching in their bag, but I wasn’t. She finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like you need this,” she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used booklet and on the front cover in big boldletters read “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?”It took me only a few seconds to comprehend the exchange with this woman, but by the time I looked up, she disappeared.I walked slowly into my car holding the tiny little book that was given to me with fear that it would fly away in the wind. I didn’t know what it was exactly, but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with that I didn’t want to let it go.I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how people pass on, but their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her with me, just like I had wanted. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I did know that I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.I couldn’t, and still can’t, believe what had happened to me on that day. I don’t remem ber the specific details that you usually hear about like what the person was wearing, the time of day, or even the weather, but it doesn’t matter. It was a random day in November when my life turned back around and I began to feel hope again. It was real. It was a miracle(奇迹). And, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.56. The author refused to say anything to the woman but just pointed to her own car at first mainlybecause ______.A. the author did not know the womanB. the woman interrupted the au thor’s thoughtsC. the author thought she wanted to use the parking spaceD. the author was too weak to say anything57. What can we learn about the author’s grandmother?A. She often made the author angry.B. She was kind to the author.C. She left nothing to the author.D. She lost faith in God.58. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author and the woman became good friends later.B. The author knows the specific details about this experience.C. The author was very grateful to the unknown woman.D. The woman turned out to be the author’s grandmother’s nurse.59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Miracle at the Parking LotB. What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?C. True Love for My GrandmotherD. Adu, My G randmother’s NurseBA victor is, by definition, someone who wins a struggle or contest. However, that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after, as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.Catching Fire, out in Chinese theaters on Nov 21, is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death. Two teenagers from each of the 12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film, last year’s victors Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However, that never seems to happen. She has nightmares(噩梦), which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again. The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta. Since Katniss brings hope to Panem through her courage, President Sn ow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fires of rebellion(叛乱).“This is the next step of Katniss’ heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be,” Lawrence told Reuters.Fast-paced and full of action, Catching Fire looks to outdo the success that the first film had in 2012. With a 97 percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, it is enjoying positive reviews. Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins. The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence, who won a best actress Oscar this year for her 2012 movie Silver Linings Playbook, has helped Catching Fire find success, Forbes pointed out. The 23-year-old actress does well playing a young lady who hates what she was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give up.“Lawrence’s down-to-earth personality in real life won the hearts of the public. So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away, a rising fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers, the sequel(续集) was always going to be big,” Forbes noted.60. The underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_______”.A. holdB. lightC. supportD. reduce61. Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A. Every year 12 teenagers in total are chosen to join in the televised fight.B. Despite having won the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C. Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.D. Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for the first Hunger Games movie.62. What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably be successful?a. The previous film was successful.b. It is true to the original book’s story.c. Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.d. It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd63. After reading the passage, we can infer that _______.A. President Snow thinks highly of Katniss and Peeta’s victoryB. Katniss decides to fight in the 75th Hunger Games because she loves itC. The personality of the leading actress contributes to the success of Catching FireD. Critics hold a negative attitude towards the first movie of Hunger GamesCResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strang er's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. “Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,” the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, a nd also serve as nonverbal clues (线索) with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits (特质) detected in the study include a person's general age, income, political tendency, and other personality traits, including someone's emotional stability. Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Participants in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.So, what do your shoes say about your personality? Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people. However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “friendly” people, while ankle boots were more closely connected with “aggressive” personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” pe rsonalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety,” spending too much time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers pointed out that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.64. By looking at a person’s shoes, it’s possible for people to_____.A. know the wearer thoroughly and accuratelyB. form an opinion about the wearer’s characterC. have exact cl ues about the wearer’s social statusD. judge the wearer’s educational background65. What can we know about the passage?A. Wealthy people tend to choose shiny shoes.B. Friendly people are likely to wear ankle boots.C. Calm people prefer shoes with uncomfortable appearance.D. Outgoing people always wear shoes with practical functions.66. Taking exceptional care of new shoes shows that _____.A. the owners are in a state of being relaxedB. the owners are very particular about their appearanceC. the owners have too many shoes to choose fromD. the owners care much about others’ opinions on their appearance67. What is the best title of the passage?A. Shoes Reflect People’s PersonalitiesB. How To Choose Suitable ShoesC. How To Judge People’s Personality TraitsD. People Are What They WearDAccording to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the U.K. has about 7.7 million families with dependent children, of which 3.7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1.1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, “It appears that families are getting smaller.”One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile(生育的). But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ onli ne forum Mumsnet, where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how great it is to have an only child”.She had received 231 replies, mostly in the same optimistic spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.Not all products of single-child families are as enthusiastic to repeat the experience. In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own preference for “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart” as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.She was cared for by her considerate parents, wh om she punished with a “brattish, wilful” rejection of everything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered(粉碎)by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “suffering”.Writer and clinician Dr. Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society, says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances are feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they approach advancing age.68. The passage is written with the purpose of ________.A. indicating the strength and weakness of having an only childB. presenting us with different opinions about having an only childC. analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popularD. guiding people to look at the same issue from different angles69. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.B. All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child.C. Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.D. People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family.70. From what Dr. Dorothy Rowe said, we know that ________.A. journalist Janice Turner experienced an unpleasant childhoodB. she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reactionC. i t’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angleD. some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions71. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Only children will gradually have difficulty in tending their parents.B. It’s normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.C. Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.D. Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.EOne of my China Dialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 yuan (just under US$4. 50)- ten times the price of a filament (灯丝)bulb - but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 yuan he was spending.Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price. Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost. It means buying energy-saving bulbs andappliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative - whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary bulb is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving building? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility" - a basis of sustainable(可持续的) development - can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living still is resisted by a lack of social infrastructure(基础设施). Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it.Consider energy-saving homes. You need to find out whether or not the developer has used natural materials wherever possible; how effective the insulation(绝缘物、隔热物)is; and what the green certificates of installed equipment are. You can read up a little, but you'll still be lucky to avoid being puzzled by the developers' marketing. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are nothing of the sort, and some are even more energy-hungry than the average home - as Li Taige warned in his article "Energy-efficient buildings? Not always", on China Dialogue last August.72. What may probably be the best title of this passage?A. To purchase a cheap bulb --- your wise alternative.B. To choose an energy-saving building --- a must of your lifeC. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle --- each citizen's responsibilityD. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle --- a promising but difficult purpose73. Why does the writer say this fashion is only for the rich in the third paragraph?A. Because the cost is a very important standard for purchases.B. Because buying an ordinary bulb is very expensive.C. Because rich people like to follow this trend.D. Because energy-saving products are more expensive than common ones.74. What does the writer think of energy-saving homes?A. Many of them are more in name than in reality.B. Most of them are environmentally friendly.C. They are musts of low-carbon lifestyle of Chinese.D. They are huge burdens for Chinese people.75. What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A. informative and entertainingB. positive and activeC. supportive but cautiousD. negative but wise第二卷(非选择题共35分)第一节短文填词(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据以下提示:1)汉语提示,2)首字母提示,3)语境提示,在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词,所填单词要求意义准确,拼写正确,并将该词完整地写在答题卡中相应的横线上。

Cambridge graduates are the most employable in the world, according to a global league table.The ancient univers ity is the best at producing graduates who are‘ready to work', a poll of major employers found.Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year.Harvard and Yale﹣part of the US‘Ivy League'of universities﹣were second and third respectively.Five British universities were ranked in the top 20﹣one more than last year﹣and 12were in the full list of 150.But the UK as a country came third﹣behind the US and Germany﹣when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work﹣ready graduates.The table﹣the Global Employability(就业能力)University Ranking published by the International New York Times﹣also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly ________ on their western counterparts (对手).Asian universities claimed 20percent of the top 150places in 2014compared with only10percent when the tables were first published in 2010.The other British universities in the top 20were University College London, in 14th place, Imperial College London, in 15th, and Edinburgh, 18th.The table showed the gap between a small number of top UK universities and less famous institutions.Laurent Dupasquier, managing partner at Emerging, a French human resources consultancy, said: "The top tier players.global brands (which tend to be all American and British).continue to lead, while other Anglo﹣Saxon universities, those that are mainly regional players, tend to develop less well, with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year.""Like the Premier League(英超联赛), the champions have an international community of students and think internationally, unlike their more locally oriented counterparts."The table was made following a survey of 2, 500major companies in20countries.Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business.The study claimed that‘the days of ivory towers are over'.(1).Which university had the best work﹣ready graduates last year?________A Cambridge.B Oxford.C Harvard.D Yale..(2).The underlined phrase"gaining ground"in Paragraph 5probably refers to________.A falling behindB coming into conflictC making roomD becoming more successful.(3).What can we learn about the UK universities from the text?________A There are many quality gaps between UK universities.B The UK produced the most work﹣ready graduates this year.C Universities in the UK make up most of the top 20.D Almost all UK university graduates are employable..(4).Why do regional UK universities tend to develop less well this year?________A They couldn't raise enough education fund.B They have students from all over the world.C They lack international students and think locally.D The UK government didn't support them at a11.17. There are 67counties in the state of Alabama.Each county is rich with history and its own unique stories.Colbert County, located in the northwest corner of the state, has its share of exciting stories and claims to statewide fame.The county was created on February 6, 1867, and Tuscumbia became the county seat (the town in which the offices of the county government are located).One of the most famous residents of Tuscumbia was Helen Keller.Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880.Her home was a white frame cottage built by her grandparents.Since ivy (常春藤) grew everywhere, the house was called Ivy Green.It was here, at the water pump in the backyard, that Keller learned the word"w﹣a﹣t﹣e﹣r"with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan.Visitors to Ivy Green can walk under boxwood trees that are150years old.The home has furniture that the Keller family used.It also has Keller's Braille (盲文) books and her original Braille typewriter.Spring Park is Tuscumbia's most popular park and favorite tourist attraction.This park has the world's largest manufactured waterfall called Coldwater Falls.The Spring Park Light and Water Show is an amazing sight to see.It takes place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at sundown.The water appears to dance to music and colored lights.The music played during the show is recorded by singers and musicians from Alabama.Fame Recording Studios is in the city of Muscle Shoals in Colbert County.The studio is the first successful recording studio in Alabama.It is best known for creating"Southern rock, ""Southern soul, "and"county soul."Well﹣known performers like Aretha Franklin and musical groups such as Alabama and Lynyrd have made recordings at this studio.Visitors can continue to explore music in Alabama by visiting the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia.Built in 1990, this site recognizes the musical talents of more than 500Alabama residents in a wide variety of musical styles, including country and rhythm and blues.Truly, Colbert County has a lot of wonderful locations to visit.Guests will not be disappointed in a visit to this delightful place.(1).Which of the following is TRUE about Alabama and music?________A Alabama musicians have established exhibits for visitors.B There are a great many talented musicians in Alabama.C Music is the most important industry in Alabama.D Alabama residents enjoy listening to music..(2).How many locations related to music in Colbert County are mentioned in the text?________A 1.B 2.C 3.D 4..(3).The author writes the text mainly to persuade the reader________.A to learn from Helen KellerB to visit businesses in AlabamaC to stop for a visit in Colbert CountyD to listen to Southern styles of music.(4).The text is most probably taken from________.A a story bookB a book reviewC a personal diaryD a travel magazine.18. In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progressand prosperity (繁荣).Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self﹣worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them, playingwell and winning are often life﹣and﹣death affairs.In their single﹣minded pursuit(追求)of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition.Among those who are against competition are young people who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try."What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self﹣respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.(1).What is the best title of this passage?________A Competition!Why friends turn into enemies.B Competition!What self﹣respect depends on.C New meaning found in competition.D Two mistaken beliefs about competition..(2).Why do some young people suffering from competitive pressures seek failure?________A Because they are aware that they will not succeed in competition.B Because theydon't think it worthwhile to compete with others.

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed.It's not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question.They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors.There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between ________ of each theory.The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs.nurture.Those who support the"nature"side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors.That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined(注定)to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts(本能).Proponents of the"nurture"theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./sth.to develop better and more quickly)as the basis of their behavior.The social and political connections of these two theories are significant.In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test.This leads some"nature"proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites.Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior.In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes.That the argument will continue for a long time is certain.(1).The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem.________A why our personalities and behaviors differB what makes different stages of intelligenceC how social scientists form different theoriesD what causes the"nature/nurture"argument.(2).The underlined word"proponents"can best be replaced by.________A approachesB advocatesC principlesD characters.(3).Which of the following statements may be supported by the"nature"school?________ A We are born with certain personalities and behaviors. B Environment has nothing to do with our personalities. C Abilities and characteristics are showed by behaviors. D Only extreme behaviors are determined by instincts..(4). What can we learn about the behaviorists?________A They believe human beings are mechanical.B They compare our behaviors to the machines.C They suggest that we react to the environment as the machinesdo. D They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.20. Dear daughter,As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.I want to tell you how proud we are.Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well﹣rounded student you are.Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years.You have become a talented and accomplished young woman.College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about.You often question"what good is this course".I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten."What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem.That is really what learning in college is about﹣this will be the period where you go from teacher﹣taught to master﹣inspired, after which you must become self﹣learner.So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever.Follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them.In his great speech given at Stanford commencement, he gave the great example where he took calligraphy, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful Macintosh fonts, which later ignited desktop publishing, and brought wonderful tools like Microsoft Word to our lives.His expedition into calligraphy was a dot, and the Macintosh became the connecting line.Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots of yourself.Most importantly, make friends and be happy.College friends are often the best inlife, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family.Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience. So please treasure your college years﹣make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, evolve yourself into a bi﹣cultural talent, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges.When I faced the greatest challenge and opportunity in my life in 2005, you gave me a big hug and said"bonne chance", which means"good luck"and"good courage".Now I do the same for you.Bonne chance, my angel and princess.May Columbia become the happiestfour years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)(1).What can we learn from the passage?________A The daughter is a well﹣rounded college student.B The father faced the greatest challenge in 2006.C The daughter is a freshman in college.D Steve Jobs gave the great example where he took calligraphy at Columbia commencement..(2).The father may agree that________.A you will be well﹣educated if you forget all is taughtB there are only master﹣inspired students in collegeC the daughter will be thinner if she goes on a dietD the skills of learning is very important for his daughter's life.(3).The example of Steve Jobs in Paragraph 4is to show________.A how Steve Jobs invented the basis of the Macintosh fontsB it is important for the daughter to follow her passion in collegeC Steve Jobs made great contributions to Microsoft WordD the father wishes his daughter to be as successful as Steve Jobs.(4).College friends are often the best to you because________.A your family are far away while college friends are around you within an easyreach B they are closer to you psychologically than to your family C they are better than your family D going through independence and adulthood is unusual bonding experience.三、第三部分完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项.21.

ADo successful businessmen need an office? Increasingly the answer seems to be no.Chris Ward, author of the b ook Out of Office explains how President Barack Obama’s first inauguration (就职) speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks (星巴克); how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how Michael Acton Smith invented the children’s virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local Caffè Nero; and how JK Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a café is the best place to write.It is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home and public spaces such as cafés than renting an expensive office. Offices are hard to find, costly to decorate and involve much tiring administration. Moreover, by staying independent you avoid the misery(痛苦)of a daily commute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job.Thanks to mobile communications, WiFi and cloud storage, together with the increasing heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop PCs, the traditional office is becoming redundant(多余的) for many sorts of organizations and workers. Of course, factory managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to special locations. But many of us –from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers – can operate almost anywhere. That freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make one’s career more enjoyable and, sometimes, more efficient.21. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us__________.A. Obama didn’t write his inauguration speech by himselfB. People don’t have to work in an officeC. A café is the best place to writeD. Many writers like to write in a coffee shop22. Which of the following careers is tied to special locations?A. Software engineers.B. Copywriters.C. Surgeons.D. Fashion designers.23. The traditional office is becoming redundant due to the following EXCEPT_____.A. mobile communicationsB. WiFi and cloud storageC. heavy-duty equipmentD. the misery of a daily commute24. What can we infer from the text?A. Many people hate commuting daily.B. The tradition office will no longer exist.C. Working in public places will reduce efficiency.D. Chefs can work anywhere.BThe ruins of Moore, Oklahoma, a town destructed for the fourth time in 14 years by a major tornado(龙卷风), are a reminder that current building codes(规范) can’t do much to prevent property destruction and loss of life, especially when a powerful tornado cuts through town. But the total death number can be reduced when people take shelter in underground storm bunkers(碉堡)and hardened safe rooms.The tornado that carved a path of destruction through Moore took 24 lives. Its winds were clocked at 400 kilometers per hour. With only 15 minutes’ warning, residents fled town or took refuge(避难)in the firmest corners of their homes. The luckiest were able to climb into shelters or move to safe rooms.In Moore those rooms saved lives. But at two schools destroyed by Monday's tornado, no such shelter was available. Leslie Chapman Henderson is CEO of a non-profit group called the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes. She's an advocate for tornado safe rooms.“The safe room is an interior(内部)room of the home that has been reinforced(加固)and tested to withstand high wind. In fact, we’ve already heard of stories of survival of people who were in safe rooms, either above or below ground,” she said.Better storm forecasts give people more time to react. But they need someplace safe to go. Buildings can be built to resist strong winds, but not like those in the F-5 tornado that touched down in Moore. Chapman Henderson says even the building codes that do exist are not widely adopted or enforced.As its residents prepare to rebuild, Moore’s mayor is pushing for an order to make s afe rooms compulsory in all new construction. Similar proposals were made following each of the previous tornado strikes, but none were adopted.25. According to Chapman Henderson, which of the following does she probably agree with?A. Building codes make a difference in preventing property destruction.B. If people take shelter in safe rooms, nobody will die.C. It is urgent to build tornado safe rooms.D. Safe rooms can be built only underground.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Moore has gone through tornado 4 times in total.B. Chapman Henderson is Moore’s mayor.C. Monday's tornado took 24 lives at two schools.D. The Moore’s proposal might not be approved.27. The underlined word “withstand ” in paragraph 4 probably means________.A. opposeB. resistC. preventD. defeatCBlind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It involves tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes(香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind.Because I’m interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine bli nd as often as I can, especially when assessing similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify (鉴定) each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality.Now that the MW is behind me, I taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition. This is the most extraordinary match, always held before the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This year’s taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London.28. Which of the following is true about Blind tasting?A. Blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.B. Blind tasting usually has the right result.C. Blind tasting means tasting a wine with one’s eyes covered.D. Blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.29. Why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting?A. They got all the results correctly.B. They didn’t recognize their favorite at all.C. The writer made no mistakes.D. Champagnes can not be tasted blind.30. Which of the following interests the writer most?A. Assessing young wines.B. Master of wine exams.C. Tasting wine blind in public.D. Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The Boat Race is taken more seriously than the wine race.B. The Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually.C. I didn’t act as a judge last year.D. Pall Mall is chosen as the competition place for the first time.DBangkok has become the world's top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit Thailand's capital city this year, according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard on Monday. Based on data MasterCard collected from governments, central banks, related public agencies and airlines so far this year, the projection (预测) for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing(超过)London, the previous holder of the top place, by a very narrow margin.Monday's report marked the first time any Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination. London came in second, with 15.96 million visitors expected in 2013, and Paris, third, with 13.92 million visitors. MasterCard looked at 132 cities.Other Asian cities that made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in 2013 include Singapore at number four, with 11.75 million visitors; Kuala Lumpur at number eight, with 9.2 million visitors; Hong Kong at number nine, with 8.72 million visitors; Seoul at number 11, with 8.19 million visitors; Shanghai at number 14, with 6.5 million visitors, Tokyo at number 16, with 5.8 million visitors, and Taipei, with 5.19 million visitors.The study found that Bangkok is experiencing a large increase in its number of tourists in 2013, up 9.8% from 2009. That compares to New York's increase at 5.0% and London's at 3.8%. Paris, meanwhile, saw a small dip in its number of tourists (negative 0.7%).Caroline Lledo, who was visiting Bangkok from France, said Thailand h as many offerings. “We like culture and the people are so nice. We also love shopping here,” Ms. Lledo said. MasterCard Worldwide's global economic adviser Yuwa Hedrick-Wong cited(引用)overall value for money spent for why Bangkok is attractive. That is true for Thailand overall as well.32. From the passage we can know that___________.A. Bangkok defeated London by a wide marginB. there are 15.96 million visitors visiting London in 2013C. London Topped List of World's Tourist Destinations in 2012D. Paris is experiencing an increase in its number of tourists33. How many Asian cities have made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in 2013?A. Seven.B. Eight.C. Nine.D. Ten.34. What attracts visitors to Thailand?A. Culture and natural scenery.B. People and buildings.C. Shopping and environment.D. Culture, people and shopping.35. What can we know about MasterCard?A. MasterCard collected data from private agencies.B. It is the third time that MasterCard has released the Index.C. Caroline Lledo was MasterCard’s adviser.D. MasterCard surveyed 131 cities.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。

【解析】这是祈使句,所以要用动词原形。
翻译一下就知道了。
祈使句的语气翻译出来时命令或者请求的语气。
这句话能够造成不理解也许就是因为every one of you 是呼语,没有一下子将后面的句子的意思和语气识别出来。
line up along the road意思是“沿着道路站队”。
故选C。
26.Newspapers, as well as magazines, an important role in daily communication.A. playB. playedC. playsD. are playing【答案】C【命题立意】考查主谓一致和时态。
【解析】首先,play a role是固定短语,所以A和B一定不对。
“as well as”意为“像....一样”,两个名词中间用as well as连接时强调的是前面一个,谓语应同前面一个名词保持一致。
本题中,强调的是“newspapers”,所以play的形式应与newspapers保持一致。
Newspapers 做主语时谓语动词用单数第三人称。
故选C。
27.---Can you give me some advice on what I said just now?---Sorry, my mind ______ .A.has wonderedB. had wonderedC. is wonderingD. was wondering【答案】D【命题立意】考查时态。

【解析】句意:3G手机对于想快速从网上得到信息的任何人都很有用。
空后的从句中缺少主语,应用whoever=anyone who,它即引导宾语从句也在从句中作主语。
who“谁”,语义不适。
whoever无论谁,任何人,故选B。

故选C。

故选D。
【举一反三】过去分词与现在分词被动式的区别:两者均可表示被动,其区别主要在于它们所表示的时间概念不同,但有时它们也可表示相同的意思。
