I can't possibly do it myself.W: I suppose so，if you really think it's necessary.Text 5W: OK，John. How much do you pay for electricity and telephone services?M: My electricity bill is about＄50 a month，and my telephone bill is usually＄24 a month. W: How much do you pay for transportation?M: ＄30 a month.Text 6M: Excuse me. Will you tell me when I get to Hayfield Road，please?W: No problem It's only three stops from here. I'll tell you when we get there-it's my stop，too.M: Thank you. That is very kind of you.W: Don't mention it. Do you see those traffic lights ahead? We'll turn left when we getto them Hayfield Road is the next stop after that Why do you want to get off there?M: I want to go to the new Technical College.W: Oh? You won't find it easily if you go down there alone. I'll show you where it is.M: Thank you very much. But I don't want to put you to any trouble.W: Oh. It is no trouble at all. I have to go past there anyway. We are almost there now.Hurry up，or we will miss the stop. Now，let's get off.Text 7W: Rodger，I have good news！I just received a telex from Tokyo. Kojima has given final approval to the deal.M: Great！How soon can we expect to receive the first shipment?W: I'm not sure，but they hope to be able to send it out some time in AugustM: Then it should be possible to have it on the market by May or June.W: Good. I'd like to set up a meeting with some of the people from advertising and sales to go over the marketing plan. See if you can arrange something for next weekM: All right I'll also get in touch with the ad agency.W: Good idea We'll be discussing all about advertising: brochures，ads，radio，and TV.I'm particularly interested in hearing the ideas about the use of television.M: I'll take care of itText 8W: I often find that Chinese people are shy to speak their love to their beloved. Instead，they prefer to do other things to please the beloved ones.M: But I am wondering what they would like to do. OK，they send you something rather than say“I love you" in front of you because speaking out one's love is considered “embarrassing” in some people's minds. Even if somebody says the words to their beloved ones，they can not accept itW: Why? Don't you often say that to your close friends，lovers or parents?M: No. Because we are educated not to show off our feelings publicly.W: What will a girl do if she loves a boy?M: She will tell him she loves him by writing or sending messages but hardly by saying the three words.W: Per haps nowadays some young people are romantic enough to speak out“I love you！”to their friends.M: Right. In fact in modern China，more and more young people are influenced by the western thoughts. We can feel western culture from movies，TV plays，books and even school education，so，maybe one day，Chinese people will get used to saying “I love you” every day.Text 9W: What can I do for you?M: I'd like to change some US dollars，please.W: Cash or check?M: Cash. Urn... What's the rate of exchange?W: The rate is 100 American dollars to 72 pounds. How many do you want to change?M: 700 American dollars. Oh，just a moment. Here you are.W: Thank you. That comes to 504 pounds. How would you like it?M: Could I have 400 in twenties，and the rest in fives and small changes，please?W: Here you are.M: Thank you.Text 10Outback in the cityIn Sydney，you needn't go to the“outback" to find Australian wildlife.

Make su re that your answers are grammatically correct.Stress：Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are begin ning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years，stress（21）（regard） as a cause of a whole range of medi cal problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But l ike so many other things, it is only too much stress（22） does you harm. It is time you（23）________(consider) that if there were no stress in your life, yo u would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stres s, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain p oint, the more stress you are under, the（24）_______（good） your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, th ough, further stress will only lead to exhaustion, illness and fin ally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself （25） num ber of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is be ing expected of you, and yet find（26） impossible to say no？Do you find yourself getting impatient or（27）（annoy）with people over unimportant things？…If the answer to all th ose questions is yes, you had better（28）（control）your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is go od for you.To some extent, you can control the amount of stress in your l ife. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stres s is involved（29）_______various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12, etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely（30）（get）ill.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the word s in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that ther e is one word more than you need.In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people___3 1___ value individualism——the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importa nce on the____32___ that make each student special. The ed ucational systems in these countries show these values. Stud ents do not memorize information. Instead, they work ____33_ ___and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their o wn ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the sam e language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient ___34____ society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teach ing __35____ are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized .There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these____36___ of education. For example, one advantage to the syst em in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high sch ool. They also study more hours each day and more days eac h year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it ___37___students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is a n____38_____ learning method in Japanese schools, yet man y students say that after an exam, they forget much of the info rmation they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, o n the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves . The system prepares them for a society that values ___39__ __ ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't ___40____as many b asic rules and facts as students in other countries have.III． Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ou rselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to o ur beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to w hich we are willing to （41）our belief systems determi nes the success of our inner economy．For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they（42）. As a member of that group, you would likely （43） that same belief about yourself. As a result, even i f you had a great desire to create music, you might be （44）to really get behind yourself．Because you might fear th at your （45） would not pay off．Even if you had the c ourage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are n ot （46） would probably stop your trying．And that wo uld be a major （47） to invest your energy in your dre am．On the other hand，belief isn't anything （48）．If you found a way to （49）_______ that negative belief, a great flood of energy wo uld pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your succes s. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ide as and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willingto invest in the various products available for trade on the sto ck market．And in both cases, （50） plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something．O ne way to open up the possibility for greater success in our in ner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable （51） we sometimes think．There are other more reli able things of success that we can put our（52） in, such as passion, feeling, and sense．Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the o nes that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the （53） opinion held by ordinary people about what will work．In the same way，we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guid e us,（54）____ any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to ful ly invest in ourselves.

But it may also lead to problems.A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas (KU ) in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human inter action when they feel lonely.During a series of experiments, participants were asked to wri te about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but p articipants believed they were playing with real people online. Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also a sked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek o ut normal human interaction.Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways in clude increasing their number of social media friends or enga ging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, ac cording to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at K U.But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were li mits to how far this effect would extend.“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machin e and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes a way. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious lev el.”Researchers believe the results are important for consumers t o realize how these types of products could affect their social i nteraction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “Fro m that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products that ca n increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal soc ial interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,”Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focu sing on developing your real personal connections.”63. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that____ ____.A. human-like devices may help people interact with others.B. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely.C. lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices.D. human-like devices may reduce pe ople’s social interaction in real life.64. During the experiments, participants__________.A. were allowed to talk with human-like devices.B. were shown devices with human features.C. played online games with both machines and real people.D. were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction.65. The underlined phrase “this effect” in Paragraph 7 refers t o the fact that________.A. lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with ot her people.B. lonely people are content to only interact with human-like machines.C. the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact more with human-like devices.D. people who are socially excluded would get uninterested in socializing.66. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson?A. It shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely.B. It warns people to stop using human-like devices completely and focus on real social interaction. C. It may help the well-being of people who feel lonely and improve their current relat ionships.D. It points out the effects of human-like devices and could help companies improve their products .Section C （4×2=8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be us ed only once. Note that there are two more sentences than yo u need.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached on e billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the f act that more than one in seven people in the world do not ha ve enough to eat. 67 Hunger kills more people per year t han diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populo us continent. 68 Although this region has a much lower p opulation than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry p eople. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there ar e only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.69 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the ove r-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. M any people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up th e prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most imp ortant reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased re cently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there woul d be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few pe ople would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distri bution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen e ven more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 70 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 w ords. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happine ss. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in lif e. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the futur e-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simpl e pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your fa vorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier live s.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many peop le go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their pro blems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helpin g others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someo ne. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around th e house by washing the dishes.第II 卷 (共40分)I.

Passage AI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” (风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don‟t have names;in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it‟s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don‟t know.It‟s true that a person doesn‟t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Y orker might say, …Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don‟t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don‟t know” is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!1. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. refer to recognizable buildings and placesD. tell him the names of the streets2.

Some kids have no hair at all due to illness. Locks of Love is an organization that helps kids deal with their hair loss by providing real hair wigs (假发) from donors.Jessica Moon, a photo editor, donates (捐献) her hair whenever she cuts it, waiting each time for it to grow the necessary 10 inches.“I don‟t miss my hair at all,” Moon said. “And it grows really quickly.”At Locks of Love, the focus is on helping kids who have gone bald (秃顶) and feel embarrassed to go out in public to go on with the activities they normally enjoy. Lauren Kukkamaa, who works for the organization, believes that it is important for kids to live out their lives as normally as possible.“Many times, a lot of children feel embarrassed by their baldness,” she said. “They have low self-confidence, so they may want to stop playing sports or going to summer camps. When they get the hair wigs, they feel confident to start doing these things again.”“For a donor, I think it‟s a very personal donation,” said Kukkamaa. “You‟re giving of yourself. If you‟re looking for a way to get involved and give back, I think it‟s a great opportunity for someone.”Moon, who first donated her hair when she was 15 after she found out her father had cancer, said donating is a good way to make a difference.“The best part is that it‟s helpful for someone and it does make a difference for patients who need the hair,” she said.9. One of the reasons why Moon is glad to donate is that ________.A. her hair could grow back very quicklyB. she looks more beautiful with short hairC. she could earn extra money by doing itD. she needn‟t worry about how to style it10. What is the main task of Locks of Love?A. Encouraging kids to get rid of shyness.B. Teaching people how to style hair well.C. Finding out why some people lose hair.D. Helping bald children to live normally.11. According to the text, Kukkamaa thought that ________.A. 10 inches of hair may change a child‟s lifeB. a person with long hair will be more confidentC. people are devoting themselves by donating hairD. children like wearing wigs for a special event12. What would be the best title for the text?A. You can make a differenceB. Donating your hairC. Bald kids are very poorD. Wearing real hair wigsPassage DIf you'd like to go travelling, the following World Heritage Sites may be your best choices.Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest AreaThe Jiuzhaigou valley, which lies in the northern part of Sichuan Province, reaches a height of more than 4,800m, with a series of diverse forest ecosystems(生态系统).
