I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning, we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!”, a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness, which is really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleased, unbelievable and satisfied. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best. (268 words)1．What can we learn from the passage?A.My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.B.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.C.I enjoyed the most gorgeous sunrise in my life.D.Sometimes, it is worthwhile to wait for the best.2．When did they see the first light of the sunrise?A.About 3 o’clock.B.About 4 o’clock.C.Nearly 5 o’clock.D.Nearly 6 o’clock.3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2?A.Total.B.Cold.C.Terrible.D.Interesting.4．What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?A.Excited all the time.B Afraid all the time.B.Firstly excited then afraid.C.Firstly excited then impatient.【答案】1．D2．C3．B4．D【解析】1．推理判断题。

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety…But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up．“Storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby，especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．Although anyone can do it，storm chasing is extremely dangerous．The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds．Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain．If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm - chasing vacations during the storm season．Even then，storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．“Storm chasing is 95％driving，”says Daniel Lynch，who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．“Sometimes you Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen，and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However，for storm chasers，it is all worth it.“When you get close to a storm，it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life，”sa ys Jasper Morley．“Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth．”1．For storm chasing，the first thing storm chasers do is to ．A．head straight for the center of the storm B．get into the car for safetyC．wait patiently for the storm to develop D．collect information about a coming storm 2．Beginners of storm chasing are advisedA．not to drive in a heavy rain B．to do it in an organized wayC．not to get too close to a storm D．to spend more time on it in summer3．By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph，the author means that A．storm chasing costs a lot of money B．storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC．efforts in storm chasing are well paid D．a storm presents the greatest show on Earth4．What can we learn from the text?A．Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment．B．Many storm chasers get killed in the storms．C．Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world．D．Storm chasing is only fit for young peopleBThe first tape recorder didn’t use tape. It used long thin wire. It was invented in 1900 by Valdermar Poulsen. In 1930, German scientists invented the tape we use today. Back then the tape was on big rolls. In 1964 the Phil ips company in Holland invented the cassette. It’s pretty much a holder for the tape. People use cassettes all over the world. If you don’t have a cassette recorder, borrow one.Think of a book your parents read out loud to you. That might be a great book to read out loud to your mom or dad in their car. Put a cassette in the recorder, open the book, hit the record button and start reading out loud.Remember there is no such a thing as a wrong way to do this. You might think you’ve made a mistake, but this gift is part of you, and nothing about that can be a mistake. It’s impossible. You get to be all artistic and creative here. You might want to play music in the background. Do whatever you want. The gift is you, so you decide. Remember to say “I love you”at the end of your reading. That’s like the prize at the end of the book.5. Why does the author mention the history of tape recorders in Paragraph 1?A. To inform readers of new inventions.B. To lead into his following suggestion.C. To give an example of his suggestion.D. To show the importance of tape recorders6. What does the author advise us to do?A. To read a book to our parents in their carB. To ask our parents to record a book.C. To make a gift for our parents.D. To practice reading out loud.7. Why does the author say it is impossible to make a mistake in Paragraph 3?A. Because the tape shows your true love.B. Because it’s easy to use a tape recorder.C. Because the music is what your parents like.D. B ecause it’s impossible to find a mistake in the book.CThe world has changed and being intelligent isn't normally equal to being a successful person. Look at the example of the blue whale：It has a huge brain，but it still doesn't know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people can't succeed in life because they can't communicate well with the world around them.Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes，a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they can't listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的)．And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.It doesn't help that they get a culture shock—especially when they leave college and realize success and richness don't always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint，it is sometimes the end result of some people.8．The example of “the blue whale” is used to show ______.A．communication is more important than intelligenceB．human beings are always more intelligent than animalsC．humans should have the sense of protecting animalsD．the blue whale is the largest animal in the world9．Those supposed intelligent people often believe that ______.A．they should make their life the same with othersB．they should live in a better world than the othersC．they are sure to be successful because of their intelligenceD．other people's opinion should be seriously considered10．What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?A．They often can't get higher positions though they are intelligent.B．They become separated from other people and lose their support.C．They can't persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas.D．They often can't make good use of their advantages.11．We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be ______.A．great achievements B．more effortsC．proper changes D．failure in the futureDWe've all heard the old saying，“Sticks and stones can break my bones，but words can never hurt me.” Don't you believe it？Words are powerful，and they can hurt—a lot. In fact，if you're not careful，you can even hurt yourself，by using the wrong word in your writing.Recently a friend sent me a copy of an e­mail she received from the customer service department of her credit card company，after she contacted them with a question about her account. She was happy with their positive response. But as I read the e­mail，one line jumped out at me：“In lieu of good customer service...”Did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer service？I doubt it. More likely，what the customer service department meant to say was，“Because good customer service is important to us...” followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.So why didn't the writer say that？I can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase “in lieu of”，thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”，and so used it—without bothering to check the true meaning.Have you ever done that？Try to impress others with a big word，only to find out you've used the word incorrectly？It's just the opposite effect，isn't it？You may impress people all right，but it's not the impression you were going for.When you write，remember to choose your words carefully. People may still disagree with what you say，but they won't be able to dismiss you because you made careless mistakes in how you said it.12．What's the writer's purpose in giving the saying?A．To amuse the reader. B．To persuade the reader.C．To support a conclusion. D．To lead to the topic.13．It can be inferred that the writer's friend ______.A．was the manager of the customer service departmentB．was the customer of the credit card companyC．emailed a company to complain D．used a phrase incorrectly14．What does the phrase “in lieu of” most probably mean?A．Because of. B．In honour of.C．Instead of. D．In favour of.15．According to the writer，the customer service department ______.A．didn't express what they really meantB．didn't prefer to use familiar words to attract customersC．didn't need to offer their customers extra reward pointsD．succeeded in impressing their customers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AIn all the world’s cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts find that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, sci ence, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children’s IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions(分数).Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medical prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus. That’s why an old so ng can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer’s, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With the evidence of music’s benefits, it’s no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education system. People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.1.Scientists are studying music because .A.music can be used for medical treatment.B.music plays a very important role in our livesC.our brain can process music in different waysD.music education has received a lot of attention2.According to the Canadian study, which children increased IQscores?A.Those who already had high IQ scores.B.Those who always played music.C.Those who could not play any instrument.D.Those who studied music for a period of time.3.Which of the following is a kind of disease?A. Spatial reasoning.B. Alzheimer’s.C. The amygdale and hippocampus.D. The medial prefrontal cortex.4.Which can be the best title for the text?A. Music and healthB. Music and the mindC. Music and the educationD. Music and instrumentsBIt was the last time Susan Butcher ran the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1992. An hour into the race, Susan and her sled dog team sped down a hill and crashed into a fallen tree. Although hurt, Susan continued the difficult race.The Iditarod Race started in 1925 when a doctor in Nome, Alaska was desperately in need of medicine to stop the spread of a deadly disease. Only a hospital had what he needed, but it was 700 mile-away! In January, it was too dangerous to send a boat and too stormy for his tiny airplane. The only hope was to use several sled dog teams following a trail, called the Iditarod Trail. They passed the medicine from one sled team to another. Wind and snow did not stop the men and their dogs. The medicine was delivered in record time. The race follows the route of the famous medicine run. Over 1,000 miles long, it is considered the toughest race in the world.Susan Butcher was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In her teens Susan was given a Siberian husky dog and became very interested in huskies as sled dogs. After reading about the Iditarod Race, Susan moved to Alaska. She got several jobs to earn money to buy herself a sled and a team of huskies. After years of hard work and training, Susan achieved her dream of racing on the Iditarod Trail.In 1978, at the age of 24, Susan entered the race for the first time and became the first woman to finish in the top 20. In 1982 she came in second. In 1984 she was leading her team across a frozen waterway when they fell into the water. Her lead dog managed to pull Susan and the other dogs out of danger. Remarkably, she came in second.In her fourth race, in 1985,a starving moose(驼鹿) attacked her dogs, killing two and injuring eleven. Susan had to leave the race. In 1986 Susan joined the race again. This time, she won. She won again in 1987. In 1988 she became the first person ever to win three Iditarod races in a row. Unbelievably, Susan won for the fourth time in 1990.5.According to text, Susan Butcher entered the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race at leasttimes.A.sixB. sevenC. eightD. nine6.In Paragraph 2, the author wants to tell us .A.how the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race beganB.how the spread of a deadly disease was stoppedC.how tough the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race wasD.how Susan Butcher began to show interest in the race7.In the year , Susan Butcher won three races in a row.A．1984, 1985 and 1986 B. 1985, 1987 and 1988C. 1986, 1987 and 1988D. 1987, 1988 and 19908.What led to some of Susan Butcher’s failures?A. Snowstorm.B. Lack of food.C. Accidents.D. Lack of experience.CMarch is a month of fun-filled activities for the entire family! When you want some family fun activities for March, consider these ideas centered on some of the events and holidays happening in this month.Dr. Seuss’s BirthdayMarch 2nd is Dr. Seuss’s birthday and kids and adults of all ages can celebrate with books, games and more to honor this famous author of kids’ books.

There are many places for families during this time period. For example, you might consider a trip to a local theme park or a national park. They often run junior camps and other activities during Spring Break that you can enjoy as a family.St. Patrick’s DaySt. Patrick’s Day is on March 17th and you don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this holiday. This is a great time to get all the family together to enjoy quality time together. You can also take this time to explore the holiday, its history and what it means.

Children’s abilities.D. Family activities.DChicken soup has long been a comfort food for people with cold symptoms. Whether the remedy(疗法) comes from the warmth and comfort of the soup or from actual cold-fighting ingredients(成分) in the meal, it is still up for debate.Chicken Soup: Just the EvidenceScience has begun to support what mothers have understood for centuries. The heat, salt, and hydration provided by chicken soup may actually fight the cold virus. Laboratory studies have shown that ingredients of chicken soup with vegetables could kill viral cells and prevent the growth of new ones. The soup may also provide an anti-inflammatory(消炎的) effect that helps reduce cold symptoms. Unfortunately, the benefits of chicken soup appear to be limited by how quickly the soup leaves the body. There is no indication that chicken soup would help in the prevention of colds, but its use as a remedy for symptoms is common. It is largely a safe remedy with no ill side effects, and scientific evidence points more in favor of itscold-fighting properties(特性) than against it.The Downside of Chicken SoupEvidence in support of chicken soup’s antiviral properties is not yet solid enough to prove true, reliable medicinal effects. Although the evidence based on personal experiences and existing research seem to support a good effect of chicken soup, a clinical trial would be very difficult to perform. In addition, some people with food allergies(过敏性反应) or sensitivities to salt may experience ill side effects from chicken soup. Unbroken bones may also lead to a chocking risk, particularly for children. However, the potential benefits of chicken soup seem to far outweigh the possible risks.13.What does the underlined sentence suggest?A.Mothers have long been helped by scientists to find remedies for colds.B.Scientists have agreed for centuries with what mothers have understood.C.People have tried chicken soup to help reduce cold symptoms since long ago.D.Mothers know better how to deal with cold symptoms than scientists.14.Which of the following is true about chicken soup?A.It is particularly good for children.B.It can prevent people from colds.C.It is an amazing comfort food for people with colds.D.It surely has medicinal effects on colds.15.What’s the author’s opinion on chicken soup?A.It is good for people with colds to have chicken soup.B.Scientists have found solid evidence about the benefits of chicken soup.C.Chicken soup can take the place of other medicines for colds.D.People still argue whether chicken soup has effects on cold symptoms.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIf you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything . I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day."A hot cup of coffee," he told me.I bought him a cup of coffee, a stack of pancakes, some eggs, and so on. After our meal together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier."A new pair of socks, "he said.Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing if he would accept it. Finally he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, and then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted. Now I always have an extra pair with me in my car. They are always my best pair, just waiting to be given away.1. On seeing the homeless, the author used to_______.A. act as if they were not thereB. show mercy to themC. hide in the cornerD. make fun of them2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He was slow in learning things.B. His best friend was once a teacher.C. He was sad that his friend was dying.D. He didn't understand Jane's words at first.3. Why does the author always have an extra pair of socks in his car?A. To decorate his car.B. To sell it to others.C. To keep it for a change.D. To donate it to a needy person.4. What does the author want to convey to us?A. All men are born equal.B. Don't miss doing any good thing.C. A beggar's purse is bottomless.D. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.B''If you can see the magic in a fairytale童话）, you can face the future”-- Danielle SteelWho have not read fairytales? We all have had the experience of taking great delight in the beauty and innocence of fairytales．May it be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty．．．Fairytale is a word which cannot be new to us. But have you ever travelled ages back to the earliest of times and uncovered the fascinating facts about these stories?The history of the fairytale is particularly difficult to track．The oral tradition of the fairytale came long before the written page．The oldest known fairytales date back to ancient Egypt around 1300B.C.and now, after travelling through various periods of time, they have grown and matured in various aspects and have become the most popular forms of stories for young children The characters and themes of fairytales are simple and similar: Princesses and goose girls, youngest sons and brave princes, wicked, stepmothers, fairy godmothers, talking animals, glass mountains, witches, castles and the like. The tale goes into an unreal world and in this never-never land our heroes kill the enemy, succeed to kingdoms and marry the ever beautiful princesses. W. H Auden said, “The way to read a fairytale is to throw yourself in.”It is very true indeed or you will not be able to feel the ecstasy of reading a fairytale. So whenever you read a fairytale, imagine you are the hero/heroine and you will be carried to a mysterious land where everything will be as you want.Every child believes in fairies（仙女), dragons, etc. Yet, as we grow up we fail to believe in these fantasy-based characters．Fairytales are told to children when they are young. This is very essential indeed, for if in the beginning of our lives, our minds are touched by the beauty, innocence and the morals in these tales, we will be able to obtain the optimistic side of happenings．In life, sometimes, believing in such mystics can lead to great happiness．W ell, I don’t know about you, but I do believe in fairies…and who knows I may someday meet one because, after all, believing is just the beginning! And as J.M. Barries said, “When you say I don’t believe in fairi es, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” And I wouldn’t want anyone dead on my account, would you?5．In Paragraph 1, the writer mentioned Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to __A．tell the beauty and innocence of the fairytalesB．present us the fascinating facts behind themC．show us that fairytales are something we are familiar withD．describe his feeling towards fairytales6．The underlined word '"ecstasy" in Paragraph 3 probably means “___”A．delight B．innocenceC．mystery D．the optimistic side7．Why is it important to tell the fairytales to the children when young?A．Because they can gain great happiness．B．Because it is easier for the children to throw themselves in the roleC．Because they tend to have wild imaginationD．Because when they see the magic in the tales in the beginning, they can face the future 8．How do you understand the sentence in the last paragraph "When you say I don't believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” ?A．If you don’t believe in the tales, the fairy will be really sad．B．We need the beauty, innocence, and moral of the fairytales to stay optimistic．C．If nobody believes in us, we will be heartbroken．D．The writer is just trying to be humorous by saying this．CItalians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day, an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures."Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives," said Bruno Contigiani, the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association. Contigiani, 62, a one-time high-powered manager, is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle.Contigiani's association suggests "14 commandments (诫条) " for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television.This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire afternoon, inviting people to "slow down". "Among the ‘14 commandments’, the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said.Back in Italy, the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events.Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity（肥胖）. Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular.World Slow Day is by now an international event. A total of 90 “Slow Cities" in 11 countries inspired by the “live well" philosophy are supporting the day.9. What's the best title of the text?A. Slow Life SupportersB. Lifestyle of ItalyC. World Slow DayD. Living Well10.

Waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast.12. In which section of a newspaper is the text probably put?A. Advertisement.B. Culture.C. Business.D. Entertainment.DScientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖）after discoveringa link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat．Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter．Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （体重指数）levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier．Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment．The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England．Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C （73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studied．Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs．"This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level．The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account．"The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold．At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected．"13. The findings of the research can be described as ___．A．horrible B．surprisingC．funny D．encouraging14.According to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heatingto______.A．stay in shape B．maintain a low BMI levelC．save money D．avoid eating more15.

GaryBPeruvian novelist, Mario Vargas Llosa, who received Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010, is one of the central writers in Latin America, but he began his literary career in Europe.Mario Vargas Llosa was born in Arequipa, but from age one he lived in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where he was brought up by his mother and grandparents after his parents separated. However, Vargas Llosa once said that “I feel very much an Arequipan”．He also spent some time in Piura, northern Peru (1945～1946)．Vargas Llosa attended Leoncio Prado Military Academy (1950～1952), and Colegio Nacional San Miguel de Piura (1952), Peru．In 1955 he married Julia Urquidi; they divorced in 1964.From 1955 to 1957 Vargas Llosa studied literature and law at the University of San Marcos, Peru. He then attended post-graduate school at the University of Madrid, Spain, where he received his Ph.D.in 1959.In the 1950s, while still a student, V argas Llosa worked as a journalist for La Industria. His first collection of short stories, LOS JEFES, appeared in 1959.“I liked Faulkner but I imitated Hemingway, ”he said later. Vargas Llosa moved to Paris because he felt that in Peru he could not earn his living as a serious writer. Although the boom of Latin American fiction in the 1960s opened doors to some authors for commercial success, the great majority of Peruvian writers suffered from the problems of the country's publishing industry. In France Vargas Llosa worked as Spanish teacher, journalist and broadcaster. From the late 1960s Vargas Llosa worked as a visiting professor at many American and European universities. In 1970 Vargas Llosa moved to Barcelona and five years later he settled back in Peru. Most of his novels are set in Peru.In addition to the Nobel Prize, Vargas Llosa has received many other honors. Among the most notable are Leopoldo Alas Prize (1959), Peruvian National Prize (1967) and Miguel de Cervantes Prize (1994)．24.

D．The works of a Peruvian writer.CEvery year on April 1, April Fools’ Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. In France, it’s called “Poisson d’Avril” or “Fish of April.” In Scotland, the holiday is oft en called “Gowkie Day.” In Iraq, the holiday is called Kithbet Neesan or “April Lie.”History experts say people have celebrated April Fools’ Day for a long time. Some believe the tradition comes from the ancient Romans more than two thousand years ago. It was a day of playing games and pretending to be someone else.Others say the day for fooling began in France in 1564, when King Charles changed the yearly calendar. He moved New Year’s Day from April 1 to January 1. Many people did not know about the change because of communication problems back then. Some people continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1. Other people called them April Fools and played jokes on them.In the United States, April Fools’ Day is just a day of joking and playing tricks o n friends. These kinds of jokes are also called pranks. These jokes typically end in the prankster shouting “April Fools’!”Simple pranks, like telling a friend a funny lie or making prank phone calls, are still common. But, major companies also get in on April Fools’ Day fun in a much bigger way. A few years ago, on April 1, Starbucks announced it was introducing new coffee cup sizes -- Plenta and Micra. The very large cups, bigger than a human head, remained useful for customers even after finishing all that coffee. According to Starbucks, the cups could be used as a rain hat, a pot for plants, or a lampshade.It did not take long for customers to catch on to the prank! More and more people use social media or smart phone apps to play pranks on their frien ds on April Fools’ Day. One very annoying smart phone app, Cat Facts, sends funny facts about cats to your friends’ phones, every day.28. Why did some people keep the old New Year’s Day?A. It was known only by the government.B. They wanted to be different from others.C. They like the old celebration.D. They didn’t know the time changed.29.

To introduce a new festival.B. To tell a story on April Fool’s Day.C. To introduce April Fool’s Day.D. To express love to the friends.DMost advertising in ancient times was word-of-mouth, that is, people liked something and told others about it. But even then, people advertised by putting inscriptions (题字) on walls, for example to display political slogans and to offer household goods for sale. Also, in Rome and Greece, in ancient times, it was common for people to use papyrus, a kind of paper, to advertise things they had lost or found. The tradition of wall or rock painting as a way of advertising goods is even more ancient.Painting developed in the 15th and 16th centuries, and this increased the forms of advertising. Handbills —small printed notices and advertisements —became common. Then, by the 17th century, advertisements started appearing in weekly newspapers in England. In the 19th century mail order catalogues appeared, promoting all kinds of goods.Finally, advertisements in the 1960s became more creative and more interesting. Also, they began to draw attention to the ‘unique selling points', the USPs of products. These are t he qualities that make a product different from competitors' products.These days, advertisers have come up with new ways of promoting their products. For example, product placement is now common. This is advertising in TV programmes or films by having a character, preferably played by a famous actor, use a particular product. For example, Tom Cruise's character in the movie, Minority Report, had a computer with the Nokia logo (商标) on it, and his watch was clearly made by Bulgari.TV commercials are a very effective medium for advertisers, though these are very expensive. If an organization wants to have a 30-second TV advert during the annual Superbowl game in the United States, they have to pay about $2.5 million.Perhaps the most interesting development is the use of famous personalities to endorse (代言) a product. The basketball player, Michael Jordan, endorsed Nike products and wore them while playing.Getting well-known personalities to endorse a product can be very expensive, butendorsements certainly increase a product's sales, especially if the personality has a positive image in the eyes of the public.32. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The influence of advertising.B. The development of advertising.C. Ways of advertising in ancient times.D. Types of product advertising in ancient times.33. Which of the following is TRUE about advertisements in the 1960s?A. They were complicated and entertaining.B. They contained quite a lot of information.C. They were mainly shown in TV programmes.D. They focused on the special features of products.34. In product placement, advertisers tend to use .A. cartoon charactersB. intelligent peopleC. fictional charactersD. popular actors or actresses35. What is the benefit of endorsements?A. They are not expensive.B. They are fairly interesting.C. They promote product sales.D. They pass on positive messages.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项，请将答案写在答题卷上。

Life has become so competitive that every now and then we are struck (遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. With every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.There are several reasons that affect a person’s self-confidence. The most important reason is lack of succes s. Not being able to succeed affects one’s self-confidence greatly. This is when one begins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejected by society. For example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear of being questioned about his work. However, this isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish.The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believe in yourself. Self belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allow your self-belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So, there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt your ability, don’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Alsoremember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Create one and live a life as you want to. Leave others to themselves.25. According to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown?A. The low abilities.B. The lack of security.C.

In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.A. should not forget his failuresB. should follow others’ adviceC. should not lose heartD. should believe lifeCCan you smell two things at once? This experiment comes from the research of two scientists from Rice University. Denise Chen and Wen Zhou have been experimenting with the science of smell, and have made some very interesting discoveries.To explore that, you will need two things with strong, characteristic smells and, of course, your nose. The idea is to smell a different smell with each nostril (鼻孔). Hold one smell very close to your right nostril, and the other smell very close to your left nostril. Then breathe in and pay close attention to what you smell.What you should find is that one smell will be very strong. After another sniff (嗅) or two, the first smell will go away, and you will smell the other smell. Keep sniffing, and the first smell will come back. Instead of smelling the two smells evenly (均匀地) mixed, they will work in turns, one after the other.Why? Chen and Zhou found that your sense of smell acts much like your sense of sight. Hold a book in front of your nose, so that your left eye sees things on the left side of the book, and your right eye sees things on the right side of the book. You will find that your sight works in turns, first on the left side of the book and then on the right side. Notice that you can’t focus your left eye on one object while focusing your right eye on another object. Your brain jumps back and forth (来回地), paying attention to one and then the other. The same thing happens with your nostrils. If they are smelling different smells, your brain pays attention to one and then the other.29. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?A. B.C. D.30. Denise Chen and Wen Zhou discovered that ______.A. our brain focuses on one thing at a timeB. our two nostrils act differently towards the same smellC. our nose prefers to smell stronger smellsD. our sense of smell is connected with our sense of sight31.

The main purpose of the text is to ______.A. report an important eventB. describe a scientific experimentC. study how the sense of sight worksD. introduce two scientists from Rice UniversityDHalf the world’s population could fa ce a shortage of food by 2100 due to climate change, a new report by US scientists warns. Rapid global warming is likely to reduce crop production inthe tropics and subtropics (热带和亚热带地区), according to Professor David Battisti of the University of Washington.The most extreme summers of the last century will become common, he says. We must immediately create crops that can bear heat and drought if we are to adapt (适应) in time, he writes in Science journal.“The stresses on global food production from temperature alone are going to be huge,” said Mr Battisti. “And that doesn’t take into account water supplies stressed by the higher temperatures.”He worked with Professor Rosamond Naylor on Food Security and the Environment, to examine the influence of climate change on the world’s food supplies. They predict there is a greater than 90% probability that by 2100, the average growing-season temperatures in the tropics and subtropics will be higher than any temperatures recorded there to date.“We are taking the worst of what we’ve seen historically and saying that in the future it is going to be a lot worse unless there is some kind of adaptation,” said Professor Naylor. “This is a powerful reason for us to invest (投资) in adaptation, because it is clear that this is the direction we are going in terms of temperature and it will take decades to develop new food crop varieties that can better bear a warmer climate.”In the tropics, the higher temperatures could be expected to cut production of the primary food crops by 20-40%, the researchers said. Rising temperatures are also likely to reduce soil moisture (湿度), cutting production even further.Three billion people live in the tropics and subtropics now, and their number is expected nearly to double by the end of the century.“You are talking about hundreds of millions of additional people looking for food because they won’t be able to find it where they find it now,” said Professor Battisti.Crop failures would not be limited to the tropics, the scientists concluded.33. According to Professor David Battisti, what should be done to deal with crops reductioncaused by global warming?A. To plant more crops.B. To develop new crops.C. To control population growth.D. To improve farming technology.34. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. To reduce the temperature.B. New food crop varietyC. To invest in adaptation.D. Some kind of adaptation.35. The text intends to tell us that _____.A. our world is becoming warmer and warmerB. high temperatures may cause food shortagesC. the consequences of global warmingD. the ways to adapt to high temperatures第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
