They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husban d.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.36. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”A. A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.B. A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.C. A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.D. A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.37. Why didn’t the father p ick the boy up himself?A. He was very lazy.B. He thought the mother had picked him up.C. He forgot to pick him up.D. He was too tired to do it.38. What can we learn from this passage?A. Be careful in everything you do.B. Love is the most important thing.C. Learn to forgive others.D. Everyone can make mistakes.39. What do you think of the husband?A. Warm-hearted.B. Careful.C. Hard-working.D. Broad-minded.BHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a' superior' around— a parent, a teacher, a boss— who knows better."But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses , A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive— he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.40. The problem the writer talks about is that ________.A. some people buy things they don't wantB. some people are afraid to speak out for their rightsC. there are too many superiorsD. some people don't think enough of themselves41.The cause of the problem talked about in this passage is that ________.A. some people have a low self-respectB. there is always someone around who "knows better"C. salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD. people don t share enough42.The A.T. Courses often ________.A. make people distrust their own answersB. make things more favorable for "superiors"C. help people know as much as their "superiors"D. help people become more important43.A good title for this passage could be "________".A. The Need to ShareB. Talk Back When NecessaryC. One Way to Build Self-RespectD. One Way to Train Speaking AbilityCThe average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1~3 degree over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperature also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10~25 cm in the last 100 years.The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise to one metre this century.Should this come true, millions of homes will be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees" looking for somewhere to live?44.Which of the following is true?A.warmer weather-glaciers melt-water expand-pollutionB.pollution-warmer weather-glaciers melt-water expandC.pollution-water expand-warmer weather-glaciers meltD.glaciers melt-pollution-water expand-warmer weather45.What's the basic reason that globe becomes warmer and warmer?A.Coal, oil and gas.B.CO2.C.Human pollution.D.Greenhouse effect.46.What do you think we should do?A.Not use coal, oil and gas any more.B.Build the house on the mountain.C.Do our best to protect the environment.D.Lower the temperature.DUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages. Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs .Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.47. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A. Using river water.B. Throwing batteries away.C. Paving parking lots.D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.48. What can be inferred from the text?A. All water shortages are due to human behavior.B. It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.C. There is much we can do to reduce family size.D. The average family in America makes proper use of water.49. The last paragraph is intended to .A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. prove what drinking glass is best for usD. suggest what we do to save water at home50. The text is mainly about .A. how human activity affects our water supplyB. how much we depend on water to liveC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. Why paving roads reduces our water评卷人得分四、七选五(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。

B. C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AAn abandoned car in Chicago worth about $600 has been issued more than $100,000 in parking tickets over the past three years. Now Jennifer Fitzgerald, 31, is stuck with the bill but says the 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo actually belongs to an ex-boyfriend who registered the car in her name without informing her.The Expired Meter reports that from May 23, 2009 to April 30, 2012, the Chicago Department of Finance (DOF) issued 678 tickets against the car, totaling $105,761.80. It set a Chicago record both for the total number and amount of parking fines issued. In fact, it blew past the previous record holder, which was $65,000 from about 400 tickets.But Fitzgerald says she doesn’t owe the city a dime and has filed a laws uit (诉讼) in Cook County circuit Court against the city of Chicago, United Airlines and the ex-boyfriend. Fitzgerald has two main arguments in her case. First, she says her ex-boyfriend, Brandon Preveau, is the actual owner of the car, having purchased it from her uncle for $600 in 2008. In fact, Preveau paid for the car’s title, registration and insurance, but it was registered in Fitzgerald’s name. “ Brandon used his 2007 income tax refund to pay Patrick $600 for the automobile,” reads Fitzgerald’s complaint. “ For reasons not recalled by Patrick, however, Patrick signed the title to the car over to Jennifer.”Second, Fitzgerald’s lawyer is arguing that the city should have simply towed the vehicle after 30 days from O’Hare Airport, where it was parked an d where Preveau worked at the time. According to Fitzgerald’s complaint, on or before November 17,2009, Brandon drove the car into the parking lot and never drove it out again. And as the Expired Meter reports, Chicago law does specify that an abandoned vehicle is to be towed 30 days after being illegally parked.36. After the Chicago Department of Finance noticed the car, it ______.A. wanted to break a recordB. tried its best to find its ownerC. kept issuing tickets against the carD. decided to play a joke on its owner37. From Paragraph 3, we know that Jennifer Fitzgerald ______.A. sold the car to her ex-boyfriend long agoB. received the car from her ex-boyfriendC. didn’t know anything about the carD. wasn’t the real owner of the car38. Jennifer Fitzgerald filed a lawsuit against the city of Chicago because the city ______.A. didn’t inform her immediately it found the missing carB. didn’t’ tow the vehicle after 30 days from O’Hare AirportC. didn’t specify that an abandoned vehicle was to be towe dD. didn’t help her find the car when it was missing in the beginning39. After reading the passage we learn that Jennifer Fitzgerald ______.A. doesn’t’ want to pay any moneyB. thinks Patrick should pay the finesC. isn’t trying to find her ex-boyfr iendD. has never been to O’Hare AirportBCompanionship can affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear（折磨）than those who have a support system of friends.Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms（症状）of depression and loneliness.Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a “fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have large r, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wivesor other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically（心理上）, friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.40．In the author’s opinion, a real companion should _________.A．tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it.B．try to persuade you to change your mind quickly.C．judge your decision according to his/her experience.D．give you advice but respect your own decision.41．Women benefit more from friendship than men because _________.A．women are always cared for by more people than men.B．women are usually less stress-out when staying with others.C．women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ helpD．women can always keep more long-life friendship than men 42．According to the passage we can infer that _______.A．it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or notB．friends are always more important than family membersC．men don’t want to share their problems with many peopleD．the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed43．This passage mainly talks about _________.A.why people should develop friendshipB.when friendship affects people’s healthC.people’s different attitudes towards friendshipD.the friendship which can make people live longerCFor those who study the development of intelligence（智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras,including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, “We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”44. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?A. Whether they have large brains.B. Whether they have self-awareness.C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.45. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?A. They are most familiar to readers.B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.C. They are included in the study by Reiss.D. They are already known to be intelligent.46. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.C. She painted a mark on her own face.D. She found the hidden camera.DIn 1968, Easter preparations started on Saturday and Mom colored eggs. Mom boiled a few dozen eggs and while they cooled, Dennis, Diane and I gathered supplies. We dropped some color powder in each of six bowls, added boiling water and vinegar, and then mixed them together. Before using a spoon to carefully dip an egg into one of the pretty colors, I’d grab a crayon and neatly print “Darlene” on one egg. Dennis and Diane followed suit. That way, when we hunted on Easter morning we’d be sure to get the right basket.Being 8-years-old, I was an Easter veteran (老手), but I was quick to remind younger sister Diane of the rules: First, if you find someone else’s basket quietly put it back and continue the hunt. Second, if your basket isn’t found by fifteen minutes before church you have to continue looking after church.That year I was the un-lucky looker who didn’t find her basket before church so I spent the whole hour at St Mary’s plotting my hunt.The next Easter was a different story since I was lucky enough to find my basket first. I was jumping up and down and glancing at the big chocolate rabbit in my basket when Mom and Dad told us to get dressed. I proudly left my basket in the sun porch before heading out the door.After church my siblings ran ahead but I was content to walk between Mom and Dad since I’d already found my basket and huge chocolate rabbit. As I skipped up the porch steps I figured Dennis found his too since he was 1aughing his head off.“Hungry for chocolate soup?” Dennis laughed. “Chocolate soup?” I was surprised. One look at Dennis’ pointed finger made me realize my beautifu1 chocolate rabbit was now chocolate puddle (胶土). It was really one of my great childhood Easter memories.47.Different names were written on the colored eggs so that _______.A. the eggs looked more beautifulB. kids could recognize their ownC. kids could hide other kids' eggs secretlyD. kids could exchange their eggs48.It can be inferred from the text that among the siblings, the writer _______.A. was the luckiest oneB. was the rule-makerC. was the cleverest oneD. knew the activity best49.Why did the writer put her basket in the sun porch?A. To show off her chocolate.B. To make a chocolate puddle.C. To heat her chocolate.D.

Toyota’s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let’s have a look at the new car.Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car’s gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.The onboard (车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.36. The author writes this passage mainly to .A. teach people how to drive a hybrid carB. introduce a new kind of “green” carC. show how to save their gasoline when driving a carD. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China37. The first sentence probably refers to .A. there will be more and more green land in ChinaB. China is still young and lacking experienceC. China’s new cars are combinations of different green modelsD. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars38. Which of the followings is NOT true?A. The hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oil-shortages.B. The car’s gasoline engine doesn’t work until it reaches about 24 km/h.C. This kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.D. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.39. What is the MOST important characteristic of hybrid cars?A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.B. They are much quieter than traditional cars.C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.D. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.BKataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement. The celebration of world Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first “World Laughter Day”gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January 1998. 12,000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents. “HAPPY-DEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day g athering outside India. It took place on 9th January 2000. In Copenhagen, Denmark , more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World records. “World Laughter Day” is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together. Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism （恐怖主义）. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion（宗教）. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound over-ambitious (野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship. Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you shouldlaugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.40. The purpose of celebrating World Laughter Day is ____.A. to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughterB. to build a common connection between various religionsC. to reduce stress and lighten depressionD. to lower blood pressure41.

The author’s attitude towards laughter movement is ____.A. positiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. objective43. The passage is mainly about _______.A. World Laughter Day and its significanceB. the worldwide laughter movementC. a universal languageD. laughterCPeople who are learning a foreign language should not feel embarrassed (尴尬) because they sometimes use the wrong word. From time to time we all have difficulty even with our own language.If people think that these mistakes are funny, they may laugh; but they do not mean to be rude. The important thing is that they admire people who try to speak their language.Every public speaker knows that mistakes can happen. Even radio announcers will sometimes use the wrong word or call somebody by the wrong name. This happens so often, in fact, that a man in New York is able to make a living by listening to the radio and recording all the mistakes that he hears.Kermit Shafter calls these mistakes "bloopers". In his home, Mr. Shafter has many radios turned to different stations to record every mistake that is made. He puts the funniest ones on records and in books, which have become verypopular wherever English is spoken.If Mr. Shafer took his tape recorder into a school where students are learning to speak English, he would very soon have enough bloopers for another book. Mistakes can be fun if we are not easily embarrassed. They also remind us to say something correctly the next time.44. Mr. Shafer records mistakes made by _________.A. English learnersB. radio announcersC. both radio announcers and English learnersD. both radio announcers and public speakers45. What does Mr. Shafer do with some of his "bloopers"?A. He makes them widely known to English speakers.B. He makes them known only to English learners.C. He keeps them for himself for fun.D. He sells them to radio announcers.46. Which of the following do you think the writer might agree with?A. Native English speakers do not like English learners making mistakes.B. Mistakes are of no help for foreign language learning.C. English learners should be careful not to make any mistakes.D. It is usual that public speakers, even radio announcers, make mistakes.DThere are three branches of medicine. One is calle d “doctor medicine” or “scientific medicine”. Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical pattern, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient this approach(方法) probably did not cure many patients.The second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine”, in which less educated people try to cure sickness w ith various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished(兴起) long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times.The third kind is called “health spas” or “faith healing”. Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell(咒语), to cure you. Some religious groups organize healing shrines(圣坛) for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests(牧师) and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.47. Doctor medicine_________.A.has a longer history than folk medicineB.has been practiced for around 2,400 yearsC.bases its treatments on observation and logicD.was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times48.

The author’s primary purpose in this passage is to_______________.A.describe different types of medicineB.argue for the importance of medicine in health careC.show the important role religion plays in medical treatmentspare the educational background of three different types of patients四、七选五(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。

Williams of the Harris County Sheriff's Department.An investigation found that Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back seat of the man's Toyota 4-Runner, said Sgt. Williams. The shooting took place outside the home of Lohstroh's ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother."We're not certain of anything until we finish our investigation," Williams said. "The information we have at this time is that the 10-year-old did fire the weapon."The mother and the 7-year-old were inside the house when the shooting occurred, said Williams.Williams said the gun belonged to the boy's mother. After firing shots through the back seat, the boy exited (离开) the back of the vehicle and continued to fire at the car.The man died on the way to Memorial Herman Hospital.Lohstroh was a doctor at the University of Texas Medical Branch.The man and woman shared custody（监护）of the children.Williams said the mother and the boy were still in the home talking to investigators Friday night.Neighbors described the family as being quiet and keeping to themselves.Justin Gray, 17, was walking in the neighborhood when he heard gunshots. "We've had a suicide in this neighborhood once, but never anything like this," Gray said.31.The best title for the news should be __________.A. A Boy Shot His FatherB. Shooting Kill a FatherC. An Unbelievable Tragedy(悲剧)D. A Ten-Year-Old Boy's Cruelty32.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the news?A. The father is not responsible for the boy.B. The family don't like being linked to their neighbors.C. The boy lives with Rick James Lohstroh.D. The boy has no brother or sister.33.What can we infer from the text?A.The tragedy happened because the boy had seen too many films showing violence.B.The boy killed his father because he hated it that he deserted his mother.C.Such things often occurred in this neighbourhood.D.The boy's parents got divorced(=separated).34.The reason why the boy shot his father __________.A. is clearB. can't be made outC. is unknownD. is quite simple35. The underlined word "suicide" most probably means __________.A. the act of killing the lives of a whole familyB. an instance ( example ) of deliberately killing oneselfC. the situation of getting on smoothly with othersD. the peaceful surroundingsBWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, themind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as ―That was a very clever thing you did.‖ or ―You are such a smart child.‖36. The words ―intelligent‖ and ―brilliant‖ in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while―dull‖ in the second paragraph means _______.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless37. According to the context we can guess that a genius is ______ while an idiot is _______.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong person; a weak personC. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD. a famous person; an ordinary person38. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use39. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible40. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.CAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while---then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!41. The writer of this passage must be ________.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student42. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.43. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _________.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant44. The underlined words ―generous with our time‖ in paragraph 3 probably mean____.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time45. A suitable title for this passage would probably be ________.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipDFuturologists(未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a ―menu‖ and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots---they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strikes, and they work 24 hours aday. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere---in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.Medical technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.Scientists will have discovered how to control genes. Scientists have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?46. Which of the following can NOT be realized today?A. Reading newspapers on a compute.B. Making a space shuttle go into space and land on Earth again.C. Creating cloned animals.D. Choosing TV program freely from a ―menu‖.47. According to the text, some big companies prefer robots to human workers because human workers .A. can work 24 hours a dayB. often ask for more payC. are not clever enoughD. are often late for work48. From the 6th paragraph we can infer that _________ .A. there will be no blind and deaf people by 2050B. few diseases can attack people.C. electronic devices will be connected directly to the brain to help people hear.D. medical technology will be more effective by 2050.49. The underlined word ―conquer‖ in the 5th paragraph means .A. take upB. overcomeC. absorbD. acquire50. What’s the author’s attitude towards the cloning technology?A. The author does not agree on the use of cloning technology.B. The author thinks human cloning is impossible.C. The author does not really support the idea of human cloning.D.

None of us knows when this 22 will end. At any moment it can be 23 . Perhaps this is life’s way of telling us that we must make good 24 of every day.” Her eyes beginning to 425 , she went on saying, “So I would like you all to 26 me. From now on, on your way home, find something 27 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see –it could be scent (香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 28 of the wind slightly rustling （发出沙沙声）the leaves.”“Please look for these things, and 29 them. They are 30 observing, for at any time they can all be taken away.” ks5uThe class was totally quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room 31 . That afternoon, on my way home I noticed 32 things than before. Every time I think of that teacher and remember what a (n) 33 she made on all of us, I try to 34 all of those things that sometimes we all ignores.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AA controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligentthan women．The study concluded that men’s IQs are almost four points higherthan women’s.British-born researcher John Philippe Ruston says the finding could explainwhy so few women make it to the top in the workplace. He claims the “glassceiling” phenomenon is probably due to inferior (差的) intelligence，ratherthan lack of opportunity.The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after scrutinizing the results of university ability tests taken by 1 00,000 studentsaged 17 and 18 of both sexes.A focus on the factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept，verbal reasoning skills and creativity― some of the key factors of intelligence ―showed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63points higher. The average person has an IQ around 100.The findings，which held true (适合) for all classes and levels of education,overturn (推翻) 100-year opinion that men and women average the same in generalmental ability. They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in schoolexams than boys.But Professor Ruston argues that the faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining (胜过) boys in the classroom.36. The report is mainly about ______.A. a study that shows men are cleverer than womenB. the “glass ceiling” phenomenonC. Professor Ruston’s theory on IQD. the difference between male and female37. The underlined word “scrutinizing” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. making upB. carrying outC. looking atD. examining carefully38. We can infer that the average woman has an IQ of ______.A. a little less than 100B. 100C. more than 100D. 96.3739. Which of the following opinions does Professor Ruston NOT accept?A. Men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.B. Few women make it to the top in the workplace.C. Men and women average the same in general mental ability.D. The faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining boys in the classroom.BSome people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim( 苗条) withoutany effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it.The question is : what can they do about it? Some believe exercise can behelpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You mightsweat out (减去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, butyou put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food - choosing. But what sort of food should you choose?Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like. It' s straight —forward and often quite effective. Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.40. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that____________A. it makes you sweatB. it' s hard workC. it tires you outD. it makes you eat more41. The practical method suggested in this passage means___________.A. sticking to bananasB. not eating many carbohydratesC. eating things that are hard to digestD. eating as little as possible42. A calorie is a unit(单位) of_____________.A. weightB. powerC. electricityD. heat43. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Various Ways of Losing WeightB. Don't Eat Too MudC. Ways to Keep FitD. Food and HealthCIn every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart towear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive carsat seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher.Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, have the courage to bow out mannerly. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.44. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the Lead.B. Top Crowd.C. Being Yourself.D. Bright Red.45. The author doesn’t think it good wearing red sweaters if ________.A. the crowd does itB. you can’t afford themC. you don’t look good in redD. the situation isn’t safe46. According to the passage, people who follow the crowd ________.A. sometimes do things against their better judgmentB. make mistakes blindlyC. are willing to put their lives in dangerD. will in the end become pace-settersDThe Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.The fire started on Sunday mor ning in the house of the King’s baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning.By eight o’ clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “People threw theirthings into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was the new St Paul’s Cathedral.The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.47．The fire began in .A．a hotel B．the palace C．Pudding Lane D．Thames Street48．The underlined word‘family’in the second paragraph means .A．home B．children C．wife and husband D．wife and children 49．It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that .A．some people lost their livesB．the birds in the sky were killed by the fireC．many famous buildings were destroyedD．the King’s bakery was burned down50．Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?A．Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B．Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C．To show that poor people suffered most.D．To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.四、七选五(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。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑ASaturday，March 24thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life ---no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. The diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 3037.

A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.40. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.41. According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavor each day42. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.43. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool JobCWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.44. If your American or English friend wants to invite you to dinner, he will invite you _________A. on the night before the dinnerB. on the day before the dinnerC. at the last momentD. a week before the dinner45. It would be impolite to _____.A. put bones on your plates with fingersB. persuade others to drink moreC. drink soup with your spoonD. make sure that there is nothing left on your face after dinner46. Which of the following is not true?A. After dinner, you'd better stay and talk with your friends for a long time to show your thanks.B. You'd better ring your friend the next day to show your thanks.C. After dinner, you'd better leave in half an hour.D. After dinner, use napkin to clean your mouth.DWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.47. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.48. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.49. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker50. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is四、七选五(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。

You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you are likely to grow up being a big fun of that football team. And if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying books everywhere you go, just like she does. Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with yourparents.1.Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoy ing each other’s company(陪伴)? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.2.Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad may not know that you are having a problem. Tell a parent if you are sad or struggling with something.3.Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.4.Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you are turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.36. The first paragraph mainly tells us___________.A. the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football teamB. the kid will like reading if his or her mother likesC. parents influence(影响) their kids greatly.D .we should follow our parents’ hobbies.37. In the third paragraph, the author suggests that ____________.A .you keep your parents company all the timeB. you stay at home with your parentsC .you do something together with your parents.D. you enjoy games when your parents watch TV38. The underlined part “they’re doing a good job” means_____________.A .they have very good jobsB. their jobs can bring the family much moneyC. they make you become a great kidD. they make you find a good job.39. The text intends to（旨在）tell us______________.A .parents are important to everyoneB. how we get along with our parentsC .to respect our parentsD. to share feelings with our parentsBEvery person is unique (独特的) and so are our sleep needs. But in today’s busy world, how much sleep should we be getting each night? Research suggests that most healthy adults need seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Children and teens need even more sleep than adults. The following is a breakdown of the recommended (推荐) number of hours of sleep people need by age:INFANTS(0 to 2 months): .........................15 to 18 hours(2-12 months): ...........................14 to 15 hoursCHILDREN(12-18 months): ........................13 to 15 hours(18 months-3 years): .................12 to 14 hours(3-5 years): ................................11 to 13 hours(5-12 years): ...............................9 to 11 hoursTEENS(13-19 years): .............................8.5 to 9.5hoursADULTS(more than 20 years): .................7 to 9 hoursAs children grow, they go through many changes, including changes in sleep. Children and teens, like adults, need a regular sleep and wake timetable, even on weekends. Sleep should follow a relaxing bedtime plan. The bedroom should be cool, dark and quiet. Getting a good night’s rest may become more difficult as they grow older because of more responsibilities (责任) and activities, the influence of TV, computers and so on. However, sleep is still an important part of teens’ health and overall quality of life. So, how do teens measure how much sleep they need? If a teen has trouble staying awake during school, they probably are not getting enough quality sleep.Most sleep problems are treatable. If teens are having trouble in getting enough sleeps they need, it is important to see a doctor or other health experts.404.

About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are alre ady dead, but the north won’t escape for long.

Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality（公国）, though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.Facing the blue Mediterranean（地中海）, Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince（王子） stands, and Monte Carlo（蒙特卡洛）, which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too.47.

If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.A. only pass the interview.B. only take the national exam.C. only take the independent exam.D. either take the national exam or take the independent exam.37. What’s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?A. It can reduce students’ load to take several exams.B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.C. There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.38. If students pass the independent exam, they will ______.A. take the national exam.B. have one or more interview chances.C. be admitted to one of the universities.D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.39. What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?A. Students needn’t take the national exam.B. Students ’education cost can be lowered.C. Students’ abilities and talents can be better found.D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.BThe United Nations is warning that the world is not prepared to deal with the fast growth of cities. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013 calls for new ways to meet the needs of city populations. More than 6.5 billion people are expected to be living in cities by 2050.Most new city dwellers will be in developing countries. The United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge. The World Economic and Social Survey points to the increasing demand for energy, water, sanitation, public services, education and health care.The world population is expected to rise to more than nine billion by 2050, two-thirds of all people are expected to live in cities. The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.The report says sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination and investments to deal with important issues, these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.Willem Van Der Geest is with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, he says cities need to work closely with rural communities, so that food supplies can be secured, and the environment can be protected."We need enough integration(整合，融合) with cities... An integration between the rural and urban economies is absolutely vital for issues of nutrition, food security, and environmental sustainability."The report says development in a sustainable（可持续发展）way is important to end poverty. The report also examines the problem of food insecurity, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. One in eight people still severely lack nutrition.UN officials say some things are clear. The Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Shamshad Akhtar, says world food production will have to increase by 70%, that increase will be needed to feed the additional 2.3 billion people expected on the planet by the middle of the century. She says an important part of meeting that need is to waste less food. "There has to beefforts to reduce food wastage. ."Food and nutrition security are core elements of the sustainable development agenda.40. The survey includes the following statements except that ______.A. varieties of demands are hard to meet because of the increasingpopulation in Africa and Asia.B. one way to put an end to poverty is to be able to develop for a long time.C. transportation is an important issue to deal with when it comes tosustainable development of urban areas.D. hundreds of millions of people around the world are affected by theproblem of food insecurity.41. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. cities grow so fast that the world can’t find out new ways to deal withthe growing population.B. the growing city dwellers who mainly come from the developing countriesgreatly challenge limited resources in the world.C. sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination andinvestments to deal with important issuesD. food wastage is an effective way to feed the additional 2.3 biilionpeople by the middle of the century.42. What is the best titile of the passage?A. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013.B. City Population Will Increase to 9 Billion.C. Cities Need to Cooperate with Rural Areas.D. The World Is Not Prepared to Deal with the Fast Growth of Cities.43. The passage is chosen from ______.A. a textbookB. a travel guideC. a novelD. a newspaperCI used to think education was the most impotant thng in my life . Recently my attitude has began to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn Enlish well. Standing in front of my people,I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my specch ,leaving everyone puzzled. I criedthat night in my room ,feeling that I was a loser.Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school,but they don’t show anything about me.I am just storing knowledge,yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good change to get to know society.44、From the passage we can learn that the author______.es to know how important it is to make some moneyB.realizes that it is more impotant to develop oneself than just to learn knowledgeC.does not think education is the most important thing in his life any moreD.thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education45.

Now I don’t feel so good about T.J’s silence at the dinner table.When Brad and I finish working on the project, I see Nita in the front of the room .She still looks sad.“Hey, Nita! Do you know what the hamburger named his daughter ?” I ask.“I don’t know.

Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable – especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.36. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A. He should find an excuse.B. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say “Sorry”.D. He should telephone to explain his being late.37. “It w ould have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish oruncomfortable” “Bad manners” means _______.A. uglyB. dishonestC. impoliteD. shameful38. According to the text, the best host _____________.A. tried his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tried to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tried to avoid being foolish39. The author of this article may agree with which of the following?A. The guest who ate his peas with a knifeB. The other guests who were amused or shocked.C. The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.D. None of the above.BHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate, more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact, as a species, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation. So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over the France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end. In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, t ells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though. Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modem invention.In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight. The late night period was known as “The Watch”. It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbors.According to some sleep researchers, a short of insomnia（失眠）at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science do esn’t help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory, it is really the opposite of what we need.40. The example of the French peasants shows the fact that .A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB. there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habitsC. people tended to sleep more. Peacefully in cold weatherD. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end [ ]41. What does the author advise people to do?A. Sleep in the way animals do.B. Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep.C. Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D. Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.42. The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people .A. to set traps to catch animalsB. to wake up their family and neighborsC. to remind others of the timeD. to guard against possible dangers43. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To give a prescription for insomniaB. To urge people to sleep less.C. To analyze the sleep pattern of modern peopleD. To throw new light on human sleep.CI entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely（仅仅地） bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) w*w*There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.” “More than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality , “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself thatI had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list44. On heating the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought __ _____.A. one must read as many books as possibleB. a student should not have a complicated ideaC. it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD. students ought to make a list of the books they had read45. The underlined p hrase “with finality” probably means ___ ____.A. firmlyB. clearlyC. proudlyD. pleasantly46. The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to ___ ____.A. explain why it was included in the listB. describe why he seriously crossed it off the listC. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understandD. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every wordDWhen Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time, he read Goodnight Moon to a class of San Di ego preschoolers. And it wasn’t reading－he’d memorized the book and was reciting it out loud. He was 4. Still, he said it felt good up there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand. He wanted more of that feeling.Thirteen years later, he’s getting a lot of it. He’s on a five-month road trip across America－not sightseeing, but The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah, a women’s shelter in St. Louis, a soup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson. This week he’s in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.“I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference,” he said. He resists the idea that his “Do Good Adventure” is all that unusual. It bothers him that the media often describes young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic. So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too. “About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate of adults,” he said, according to a 2002 study. “Not everybody knows that.”Of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions. But charity work is a habit with him. Even before the cross country trip, he was volunteering abut 200 ho urs a year at various places. He’s made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D.C.. He’s taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca, Mexico.He gets some of that drive from his mother, Leslye Lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life. She was there when her son “read” to the preschoolers－a memory of hers “that will never go away.”47. What did Russell Lyons think of his first volunteering?A. Creative.B. Impressive.C.Persuasive.D. Imaginative.48. The third paragraph is meant to ______A. indicate Russell Lyons is working as a volunteerB. introduce some tourist attractions across AmericaC. appeal to volunteers to offer help to those in needD. show volunteers are needed in all parts of America49. According to Paragraph 4, Russell Lyons is against the idea that ______.A. what he has done is commonB. most teens do volunteer workC. young people don’t work hardD. adults prefer to be volunteers50. Russell Lyons has been doing volunteer work because ______.A. it is necessary for college applicationsB. he ought to keep his promise to MomitC. he likes the feeling of being praisedD. has become a natural part of his life四、七选五(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。
