Mr. Franzen fills the book with sharp observations about American politics, culture and society.Jennifer Egan's book A Visit from the Goon Squad takes place in 13 chapters over 40 years. The story moves back and forth in time, from different viewpoints. One main character is former rock musician Bennie Salazar who works for a record company.

The reader learns about their pasts and those of their friends.The main character in The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman is a failing English Language newspaper published in Rome, Italy. Each chapter of the book tells about a reporter or editor working for this paper. Their stories are filled with intelligence and great personality.Two of the most popular non-fiction books of 2010 were about rock and roll stars. Just Kids is by rock singer Patti Smith.It tells about her friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 1970s before they became famous.

She tells about his extraordinary survival story after his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean during Would War Two.Stacy Schiff has received great praise for her book Cleopatra: A Life.

If only I could read to my real grandchild!I had a granddaughter, but I'd never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her—but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son's ex-wife(前妻), but it seemed that she didn't want to be found.I'd just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of the show arrived. The performance was great. “You all looked so natural up there，” one of my friends said.Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶点). I walked over to one of the girls in the play, Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind(一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. “How's my granddaughter？” I joked.“Fine” she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question. “What's your mother's name？”She told me, I was still in shock. “And what's your father's name？” I asked. She told me. It was my son.She'd only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we've stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.49．What was the author doing at the beginning of the story?A．Telling a story. B．Playing a game. C．Preparing for a play. D．Acting in a movie. 50．Why did the author feel “A pang of sadness” at the words of the director?A．The director's words reminded her of her lost granddaughter.B．The director's words hurt her so badly.C．She wished that she had a real grandchild.D．The director wasn't content with her performance.51.What happened in the church basement after the play?A．The author played a joke on Lena.B．Lena treated the author as a friend.C．The author got to know who Lena was.D．Lena mistook the author for her grandmother.52．This passage is mainly organized in the pattern of ________.A．time and events B．contrast and conclusion C.cause and effect Dquestions and answersCThe World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries.So，too，are health problems linked to being overweight.The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods.It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization's South Pacific office in Suva，Fiji.He says many of the imported products lack nutritional value.Temu Waqanivalu said：“In some of the places，you'd be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of off-environment we've created that doesn't really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population.”And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem.The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island countries.The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory of American Samoa.Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 percent.In all，almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries.The WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health disorders related to diet and nutrition.Diabetes rates are among the highest in the world.Forty-seven percent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes.So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau，a territory of New Zealand.By comparison，the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United States，a country that has its own problems with rising obesity.Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders.Dr.Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets.53．The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.A．the change of society B．the change of eating habitsC．the change of life style D．lack of exercise54．Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to buy them because ______.A．they are cheap B．they are popularC．they are tasty D．they are convenient to get55．How many people living in Pacific island countries have health disorders?A．1 million.

Thursday on his bicycle, having pedaled 1,450 miles from Astoria, Ore.Phillips combined his desire to complete a long bike ride before entering college with his interest in helping the children of Uganda.He is raising funds for Invisible Children, a San Diego-based organization seeking to end conflicts afflicting(使苦恼) northern Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic and stop the use of children as soldiers.Phillips had raised $1,540 before embarking Aug.11 and hopes to reach $2,000.Phillips, who is from Redmond, Washington, visited Uganda during high school and worked in an orphanage(孤儿院) there. He was also inspired by a presentation by Invisible Children at his high school.“I have been to Uganda and personally gotten to know some of the kids affected by the war，” Phillips said in a statement released by the university. “I would do anything to help these kids.”Phillips' new roommate, Kyle Sharp, has joined him for the last 600 miles of the trip. Students and other members of the USD community are expected to join him for the last 13 miles.“Nathan's passionate commitment(恪守承诺) to improving the lives of children more than 8,000 miles away resonates(共鸣) with USD's mission to prepare future leaders to change the world for the better，” Pamela Gray Payton, assistant vice president of public affairs at USD, said in a prepared statement. “We are delighted to have Nathan as a member of our campus community.”Supporters from USD and Invisible Children will greet Phillips and his entourage(随从) when they arrive in front of Founders Hall on campus.

It is well-known for its multicultural cuisine(菜肴) and its colonial architecture and is considered by most experts to be the birthplace of jazz, the one music style that the USA can lay claim to inventing.62．________The city was founded in 1718, at a time when France owned that part of North America. Part of its diversity results from the fact that it was subjected to many different influences. France sold Louisiana to Spain in 1763, got it back 40 years later, and almost immediately sold the territory to the USA.63．________As the city prospered(繁荣)，it became a magnet(磁铁)for all kinds of immigrants from Europe and other parts of the USA, and was also the first choice destination of breeding black slaves. The rich cultural mix led to a relaxed attitude to life and an appreciation of good food, wine, music and dancing. There were frequent festivals.64．________By the end of the 1700s, people of African descent(祖先) made up more than half the city’s population. Many more arrived via the Caribbean and brought with them West Indian cultural traditions. By the mid-18th century, black people in New Orleans were gathering socially on Sundays at a special market outside the city, where they were able to remember and practice their traditional African dance and drumming music. The roots of jazz can be traced to these events.65．________Native American musicians then combined their music with the African traditions and bands playing a mixture of styles began to perform in street festivals. Europeans came to listen and contribute and the roots of jazz were established. Louis Armstrong, the most famous jazz musician of all time, was influenced by these rich musical mixtures when he heard them in the early years of the 20th century.第三部分写作(共三节，满分55分)第一节单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)66．The word “see” has the same ________ (发音) as the word “sea”.67．The coldest continent on the earth is ________(南极地区).68．He believes that swimming ________(发展) mind and body.69．Their floor is on the ________(第五) floor.70．Annie Sullivan was a lively young woman with ________(耐心) and imagination.71．It’s no use________(讨论) such a topic.72．There are no ________ (钢琴) in the school for the poor children to play.73．China is a country________ (属于) to a developing country.74．I expected that she would ________(接受) our invitation.75．They quarreled once, but they were quite________(友好) now.第二节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)I was at a party a few weeks before which was more excited than I had expected it to be.

The idea started in the mind of a man,Jerry Miller in Ohio.He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer.Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.As he tells it,the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date.But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night,when she had to start her day at five the next morning.So,in2005,Jerry Miller launched his website.“You don’t have to be a farmer to be on ,but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s Heartland.”You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free,but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year.As of last week the site listed more than58,000members.Many of them are farmers in the United States.Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture.Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.Some farmers have also found love through a group,Singles in Agriculture,which was formed as a nonprofit organization in1986.It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance,but is not a dating service.The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship.Its website, ,says there are more than1,000members across the nation and as far away as France.56.Jerry Miller started in order to.A.help farmersB.support traditionsC.understand farmersD.represent farmers57.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph2indicate?A.She dislikes city lifestyle.B.She prefers late night coffee.C.Country life isn’t well understood.D.It’s tiring to get up early.58.Which of the following is true of ?A.Its services are free.B.It provides dating services.C.Only farmers can become its members.D.Farmers in France can’t benefit from it.59.The author of the text intends to.A.advertise for the two websitesB.introduce two websitesC.encourage social activitiesD.urge readers to help farmers60.It can be inferred from the text that.A.all farmers desire marriageB.farmers are easy to meet new peopleC.more farmers get divorced in the USAD.the Internet helps improve farmers’social lifeBBrenda Bongos was a happy,artistic girl.She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band.But one big obstacle lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band,Brenda had to practice a lot,but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves.So,she had tried playing in the strangest places:a basement,a kitchen,and even in a shower.But there was always someone it would annoy.One day,while watching a science documentary on TV,she heard that sound cannot travel in space,because there's no air.At that moment,Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time,books and work,Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备）and a chair.Brenda got into the space suit she had made,entered the bubble,turned on the machine,and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally,Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later,when asked how she had achieved all this,she thought for a moment, and said:''If those old people next–door hadn't mattered so much to me,I wouldn't have found a solution,and none of this would have ever happened.''61.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A.Because she didn't want others to hear her play.B.Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C.Because she didn't have her own room.D.Because she didn’t like her neighbors.62.Brenda started to give concerts_______.A.after she practiced in her space bubbleB.when she became part of the unique space journeyC.after she became a

kind.D.Nervous,kind and clever.65.It can be inferred from the text that:"_______".A.He laughs best who laughs lastB.It's never too old to learnC.Two heads are better than oneD.One good turn deserves anotherCEating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression,research suggests.What's more,people who ate plenty of vegetables,fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression,the University College London team found.Data on diet among3,500middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later,a British journal reported.They split the participants into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food，which includes lots of fruit,vegetables and fish，and those who ate a mainly processed food diet,such as sweetened desserts,fried food,processed meat，refined grains and high fat dairy products After accounting for factors such as gender,age, education,physical activity,smoking habits and chronic(慢性的)diseases,they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.Those who ate the most wholefood had a26%lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood.By contrast,people with a diet high in processed food had a58％higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed foods.Study author Dr.Archana Singh Manoux pointed out there was a chance that the finding could be explained by lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.He also pointed in a paper that a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression,but the problem with that is if you live in Britain,the likelihood of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.Dr．Andrew McCulloeh,chief executive of the Mental Health

weather starts warming up and frogs start breeding-but they haven't been breeding,"says John Wilkinson,research and monitoring officer at the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust(ARC).Amphibians(两栖动物)are just one of the groups of animals that nature observers fear may have problems reproducing this year,as groundwater levels are even lower now than in the infamously dry summer of1976,according to the Department for Environment,Food and Rural Affairs(Defra).According to the UK's Centre for Hydrology and Ecology the average rainfall so far this winter has been the lowest since1972."If ponds dry up totally,"says Mr.Wilkinson,"you could have lots of dead tadpoles."Drier and windier conditions could also make it more difficult for juvenile amphibians to survive their journeys between wet habitats.But Peter Brotherton,the biodiversity manager for Natural England,says that "drought is part of nature's cycle",and,at present,a lot of animals,plants and insects are still in hibernation.This means that the population picture is unclear. "However,when we get extreme events,we get animals dying,"he says."And what is worrying is that normally at this time of year we expect soil to be near saturation （湿润）after winter."Charlie Kitchin,the RSPB's site manager of the Nene Washes in Cambridgeshire, says the2,000-acre wetland and grassland area is now struggling following two winters with relatively little winter rain and no flooding.One species that could suffer,he says,is the black-tailed godwit（黑尾豫）."There are only50breeding pairs in the country,and we have40of them,and everything is bone-dry,"Mr Kitchin says.But one bad nesting season,he says,is"not the end of the world"."One of the features of flood plains is that they're volatile anyway,"he adds."But if they fail to breed another year,the population is likely to dip again."71.According to the passage animals may have problems reproducing this year mainlydue to________.A.droughtB.hibernationC.windier conditionsD.extreme events72.What really worries Peter Brotherton is that________.A.drought is part of nature’s cycleB.animals are still in hibernationC.soil at this time is far from saturationD.the population of animals is still unclear73.Which of the following is NOT true of Charlie Kitchin’s words?A.Drought has so far continued for two winters.B.Animals could survive one bad nesting season.C.The black-tailed godwit is in danger of extinction.D.40black-tailed godwits live in the Nene Washes.74.The underlined word volatile in the last paragraph can be replaced by________.A.losing waterB.undergoing changesC.breeding animalsD.suffering flood75.It can be learnt from the text that______________.A.groundwater levels this summer are lower than those of1976B.the average rainfall this year has been the lowest since1972C.windier conditions could also cause some amphibians’deathD.flooding plays no useful role in wetlands and grasslands五、书面表达假如你叫李华，最近你校在为一批来自英国的学生征寻住宿家庭，你有意申请。

Kelly, Dora or Obama. These people are great in their own rights(凭他们自身的努力), but that‘s not enough reason to spend your time living out a life just trying to be an image of 38 person. This same question is not just limited to kids and teens; ask adults and they‘d a lso tell you they want to be like Bill Gates or Ellen Sirleaf Johnson.We live in a world in which people are from different backgrounds. Some are born with silver spoons and others with no spoon at all. We live in a world of 39 and solutions, obstacles and stepping-stones, depending on where you are looking.Most of us spend our time and energy 40 shoes to fit into, leaving ours behind, trying to live life and 41 the way our role models do. It‘s good but that‘s not the chief factor that w e‘d be like them, because we‘d be surprised that we‘ll fall short of our expectations if we spend much energy 42 the wind. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, so it‘s 43that we all have the 1% in our genetic make-up but we need to work hard.Now, I‘m not trying to say it‘s 44 to want to be like somebody else; all I‘m trying to say is that you were born here for a reason — You were given an empty book to write your life in. I wouldn‘t want your book to be 45 with how so-so and s o is but rather how ―I am‖. For as you go around trying out people‘s 46 , who‘s going to try yours?

Kids knew not to go into his yards to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go byDawson‘s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was scared of the old man.Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a big smile.Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple. Later, Janet asked Amy, ―Everyone says he‘s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?‖Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn‘t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half smiled back.After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers an apple now, and is always very kind.If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most peoplecan‘t resist our kindness after a while.We are always busy trying to achieve so much that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let‘s make sure that we‘re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smile56. Why didn't kids enter Mr. Dawson‘s yard?A. The gate was kept locked.B. Mr. Dawson never smiled.C. They would make trouble.D. Mr. Dawson treated them badly.57. Janet suggested walking on the other side of the street to ______.A. meet some other friendsB. find out where Mr. Dawson wasC. avoid passing by Mr. Dawson‘s houseD. see what Mr. Dawson was doing.58. What did Mr. Dawson do when he saw Amy?A. He smiled on her.B. He forced an invisible smile.C. He came after her with his gun.D. He frowned as usual.59. Janet couldn‘t understand why _______.A. Amy was kind to Mr. DawsonB. Mr. Dawson was so friendlyC. Mr. Dawson was so mean.D. Amy was not afraid of Mr. Dawson60. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _______.A. smiling is not difficult at allB. smiling can make our life differentC. we should bring more smiles to othersD. we should wear invisible smilesBIn the recent past there have been a number of amazing innovations in the world of 3D entertainment, from movie theater technology to what we see at home, to highly developedgames. As time goes by and the technology becomes more and more affordable, it seems likely that viewing images with 3D glasses could become a part of day-to-day life for many. Now researchers say that might not be a good thing, as the dangers of 3D glasses come to light in research.3D glasses can reportedly be very unhygienic(不卫生的). Health officials in Italy recently confiscated (没收) 3D glasses that they claimed posed health risks because the 3D glasses weren‘t cleaned properly between screenings. The other more obvious dangers of 3D glasses remain. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found that viewing 3D movies with 3D glasses can strain the eyes by changing the relationship between the eyes and the brain. This can result in headaches and blurred vision, and it seems that the problem is particularly troubling for young children. Those who do experience these kinds of painful side effects should limit their 3D viewing, as long-term results haven‘t been found.It seems certain that more expensive 3D glasses give you a better 3D experience, as cheaper glasses can create some shadowing. Getting a new pair of disposable(一次性的) glasses at the screening of a movie may be more hygienic, yet there is little evidence to prove whether high-quality 3D glasses are better for your vision and health in the long run.What should be done about the dangers of 3D? Well, the headaches and dizziness that some viewers experience can be reduced simply by lessening the amount of time spent using 3D technology, and those who experience the effects for a long period of time should consult their doctors.61. What is the text mainly about?A. The recent innovations in 3D entertainment.B. The dangers of viewing images with 3D glasses.C. How to choose 3D glasses properly.D. How to prevent the harm of 3D glasses.62. Health officials in Italy confiscated 3D glasses because ________.A. they were believed to be unhealthyB. they were too expensiveC. they were not of high qualityD. they were used too much63. What can we learn from the second paragraph？A. 3D glasses pose no threat to adults.B. The dangers of 3D glasses are not obvious.C. The side effects of 3D glasses can disappear quickly.D. Children should be especially cautious about using 3D glasses.64. We can infer from the third paragraph 3D glasses of high quality ______.A. pose no danger to your healthB. improve your eyesightC. are not necessarily safeD. are more hygienic65. How can we prevent the dangers of 3D?A. Limit the time of watching with 3D glasses.B. Wear high-quality 3D glasses.C. Clean 3D glasses now and then.D. Keep a distance from the screen.CDo you know what your child is going to do when the school bell rings at the end of the day? More than 14 million students leave school every afternoon and have nowhere to go, since they do not have access to affordable after-school opportunities. According to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center(NYVPRC), nine out of ten Americans think all youths should have access to after-school programs, but two-thirds of parents say they have trouble finding programs locally. The bad news is that the situation may be getting worse.After-school hours are the peak time for juvenile crimes and risky behaviors, including alcohol and drug use. The NYVPRC states that children who do not spend any time in after-school activities are 49 percent more likely to use drugs and 37 percent more likely to become a teen parent. Kids are also at the highest risk of becoming a victim of violence after school, particularly between the hours of 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. The highest amount of juvenile crime occurs between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., when most children are dismissed from school.The NYVPRC defines after-school programs as safe and structured activities that offer children opportunities to learn new skills. The skills students learn can range from technology and math to reading and art. Some programs also offer opportunities for internship(实习), community service, or mentoring. These programs have been shown to improve academic achievement, as well as relieve the stresses on working families. A report by the U. S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice shows that students in after-school programs have fewer behavioral problems and more self-confidence, and can handle conflicts better than students who are not involved with these programs. In addition, according to the Harvard Family Research Project, after-school programs help students from low-income families overcome the inequities(不公平) they face in the school system.66. What is the theme of the passage?A. Prevention of juvenile crimes.B. Risks kids face after school.C. A research report on the stresses of students.D. The benefits of after-school programs.67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Most parents don't believe in after-school programs.B. Students are not willing to attend after-school programs.C. It is difficult for parents to find after-school programs for their kids.D. Parents don't care about where their kids go after school.68. We learn from the second paragraph that ______.A. the teachers should watch over kids after schoolB. children are dismissed from school too lateC. after-school hours are a risky time for childrenD. children should go home immediately school is over69. The author of the passage probably _______.A. fully supports after-school programsB. doubts the effects of after-school programsC. believes structured activities are useless for childrenD. thinks students today are too stressed70. The underlined word ―juvenile‖ in paragraph has a similar meaning to ―_______‖.A. studentB. teenagerC. adultD. campus Part Ⅳ: WritingSection A (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Experiencing bad dreams every night can be horrifying for anybody. Bad dreams can disturb the sleep and make a person feel stressed throughout the next day. That‘s why one should take steps to stop them as soon as they become an everyday occurrence.Before knowing how to get rid of bad dreams, we need to understand what can result in them. Researches have shown that when a person is under some sort of physical or mental stress, he is more likely to get bad dreams and disturbed sleep. So, to stop bad dreams, it‘s necessary to find out the causes of physical and mental stress in your li fe and remove these. For instance, if you‘re overworked, learn to take things slow. Don‘t be ambitious to the point that it starts affecting your health.Besides, some trauma(损伤) that a person might have experienced recently or in the past which they‘re un able to get over can make the person suffer from bad dreams. Death of a very close family member is often seen to be the reason behind recurrent nightmares. In such a case, taking therapy and dealing with the trauma is the only solution to stop bad dreams.Eating fatty and high-protein foods in dinner is also known to cause bad dreams in some people. So, bad dreams occurring because of these reasons can be stopped if the diet is changed. Taking a light dinner of soups and salad is the best, both for the health and for stopping disturbed sleep in some cases.Besides these, there are many other things a person can do to have a good night‘s sleep. For example, your bedroom should be the most comfortable place in the world. So, get rid of all electronic gadgets including television. In addition, if you have negative thoughts, it can have side effects on the kind of dreams you have. So, from now on try to be a happy and positive person.Title: Bad DreamsSection C (25分)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.某英文报正在就建立良好的师生关系这一话题进行讨论。

And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a propertydeveloper who later committed suicide), she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5，I understood the music I was dancing to and ha d an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞） Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music man ager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.Brightman says she felt hostility(敌意) “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live, I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreci ate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”56. The first paragraph tells us that _____.A. Brightman is very popular around the world except in AmericaB. Brightm an’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazzC. the British people don’t like her for her style of musicD. Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber57. Brightman decided to give up having children because _____.A. she could adopt oneB. her life and career were unbelievably rich without childrenC. she felt it normal not to have childrenD. she was too busy58.

Brightman was very gifted when she was youngD.The saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous59. The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.A. locatedB. admiredC. followedD. found60. What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’swords?A. Brightman has to accept the fact that she is not liked in BritainB. Brightman lives in America but she loves her own countryC.

They scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating outstripped them four years later.The findings suggest that the government's structured approach to early years' learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 andhave improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States, France and Germany, and at 7 in Finland and Sweden.Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were "boring children to tears". Much academic teaching required children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context, she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions."Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four- and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction." She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows, drawing or running a pretend shop in the classroom.66．According to the passage, those who “hothouse” the under-5s would probably _________.A. prefer a lot of interaction and stimulation while teachingB. teach in a lively way to motivate kids’ interestC. push the kids to memorize pieces of informationD. care about the kids’ physical development67．What does the underlined word “ outstripped” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. did better thanB. looked down uponC. caught up withD. performed worse than 68．According to Lilian Katz, the government’s structured approach to early-years learning __.A. is necessary for improving children’s reading and writing abilityB. needs to be improved to develop children’s academic abilityC. will cause problems to children in their future learningD. has more advantages than disadvantages69．The message the author wants to deliver through the passage is that formal teaching _____.A. can start at different times in different countries.B. should not be started too earlyC. is best carried out in Finland and SwedenD. should include teaching children social and manual skills70．Which of the following is NOT the opinion of Lilian Katz?A. Children should be taught through first-hand experience.B. Learning in a mixed-age class is good for children.C. Running a shop can help children get good marks.D. Puppet shows and drawing are useful in teaching children.DFrom now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.71. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______________ .A. are ready to change their mindsB. are easily affected by windy weatherC. don’t have the power to face their fateD. can’t exercise control over themselves72.

Both apples are firm,shiny and green.Both provide vitamins and fiber,and both are free of fat.sodium(钠)and cholesterol(胆固醇)The traditionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says“USDA Organic”,Does that mean it’s Better?Safer?More nutritious?Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist.Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket.The word“organic”refers to the way farmers grow and process products,such as fruits,vegetable,grains,daily products and anic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water protection and reduce pollution.Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don’t use traditional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock(牲口)disease.Here are other differences between traditional farming and organic farming.Traditional farmers Organic farmersApply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growthApply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plantApply insect poisons to reduce pests and disease.Use beneficial insects and birds to reduce pests and disease.Give animals antibiotics(抗生素)，growth hormones(激素)and medicines to prevent disease and promote growth,housing.Give animals organic food and allow them access to the e preventive measures-such as a balanced diet and clean housing-to help minimize disease*Organic or not?Check the label.The U.S.Department of Agriculture(USDA)has started an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict standards which regulate how such foods are grown,handled and processed.Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards.Only producers who sell less than$5,000a year in organic foods are exempt(免除)from this certification.If a food bears a USDA Organic label,it means it’s produced and processed according to the USDA standards.The seal is voluntary,but many organic producers use it.61.What does the first paragraph want to tell us?A.It is difficult to tell organic food traditional foodB.The organic food and the traditional food are both

rotted plants as fertilizer to promote plant growth.ing growth hormones(荷尔蒙)to speed up animals’growth.ing pests to reduce insects and disease65.From the passage we know the organic certification program.A.is not meant for all producers of produceB.makes it a requirement to attach a USDA Organic labelC.sets limitations on the sales of organic produceD.requires all foods to satisfy the strict government standardsCWugging,or web-use giving describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user.By using ,which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK,students can raise money every time they search;but it won’t cost them a penny.Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supprting charity-88%of full-time students have used the In tenet to give to charity.This age group is often the least likely to have their own income.19%of22year olds have short-term debts of more than£5,000.With rising personal debt levels in this age group,due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings,traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible.Beth Truman,a21-year-old recent university graduate,has used to donate to her chosen charity,the RSPCA,for two years and has seen the“wugging”grow in popularity with students.“wugging”grow in popularity with students.“Whenyou’re at university you become more socially aware,but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,“says Beth.“Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity,without costing them a single penny.”Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so.Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. works like any other search engine,allowing users to search for information,news and images but uses can decide which of the UK’s170,000charities they would like to support through their clicks, then makes monthly

by“wugging”DApple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs,considered among the greatest American CEOs of his generation,died on Wednesday at the age of56,after a year-long and highly public battle with cancer.Jobs’health had been a hot topic for years.His battle with cancer had been a deep concern to Apple fans,investors(投资人)and the company’s board alike.Jobs’death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday.They homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words“Steve Jobs,1955-2011”.A message on the site read,“Apple has lost a creative genius,and the world has lost an amazing human being.”“Steve’s brilliance,passion and energy were the source of countless creations that enrich and improve all of our lives.The world is immeasurably better because of Steve,”Apple said in a statement announcing Jobs’passing.The news caused an immediate outpouring of sympathy.Microsoft co–founder Bill Gates said he will miss Jobs“immensely”“By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he was a typi-cal example of the spirit of American ingenuity(独创性).By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets,he made the information revolution not only accessible.but fun,And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy millions of children and growu-ups alike.”said President Barack Obama.Now,despite investor confidence in Cook,who has taken the place of his boss during three leaves of absence,there remain concerns about whether the company would stay creative without its founder at the helm.(掌舵)。

The parks have some of the best scenery of all the national parks．Black Canyon 〔峡谷〕 of Gunnison National ParkThis park offers the most breathtaking views from up in the mountains into the canyons below． While exploring the canyons, you will find that the walls drop nearly straight．down into the narrow valleys of the snake-like rivers below．Visitors are offered more than 100 camping sites, and a lot of bird species and many animals are native to the area．Rocky Mountain National ParkIt is the only national park in the north central region in the state of Colorado．Elevations in this park are anywhere from 8,000 feet to 14,259 feet at the top of Longs Peak．．While traveling throughout this park you will notice two very different climates because of the difference t-he upper peaks of the RockyMountains make. You can enjoy 359 miles of hiking trails, a lot of places for camping, horse-back riding and beautiful scenery.Mesa Verde National ParkThis is probably the most interesting national park, offering a fascinating trip back in time to 600 AD up to 1300 AD．This park was declared a protected national park in-1906 because of the cliff dwellings 〔住所〕 that were found throughout the area, which were

the government．On this trip, Scott and his party anchored Discovery in McMurdo Sound．Ross Island where they built a simple room．During the winter they conducted astronomical observations．In June the sun cannot be seen from within the Antarctic Circle and it is dark 24 hours day．In the spring, the weather improved and Scott, Dr Wilson and Ernest Shackleton set off．towards, the South Pole．They had some sledge 〔雪橇〕 dogs but didn't really know how to "use them, so they largely pulled the sledges themselves, Scott traveled slightly further, much further than anyone before but it was a terrible journey．In 1910, he sailed on another scientific voyage to the Antarctic, this time in the Terra Nova, originally a whaler 〔捕鲸舰〕．This second expedition had less government support and many schools made collections for the expedition．While Scott was sailing south on his second expedition, he heard the news that the Norwegian, Roald Amundsen 〔1872-1928〕, was going to Antarctica and was likely to try to reach the South Pole first．Although Amundsen was an experienced Arctic explorer, Scott was determined to get there first．He headed to the south early in 191l, and set out towards the Pole on November I from Ross Island during the second summer there．However, on January 18, 1912 when they arrived, they found Amundsen and his four Norwegian companions had got there just over a month before them．Scott's men had been beaten．On the way back, they encountered disaster and all of them died．Near the end of the Antarctic winter of 1912, their, bodies were found, Their journals and papers were recovered．Following the news of his death, Scott became a British hero, a status maintained for more than 50 years．In the closing decades of the twentieth century, however, in a more skeptical age, the legend was reassessed．From a previously unassailable position, Scott became a figure of controversy, with questions raised about his competence and character．60．What's the passage mainly about?A．Scott's competitors on the scientific voyage to the Antarctic．B．Humans' expeditions to the Antarctic in the 1900s．C．Scott's two expeditions to the Antarctic,D．．Scott's achievements in discovering the world．61．On the first expedition to the Antarctic, Scott and his party __．A．did scientific research B．got support from many schoolsC．reached the South Pole D．learned how to use sledge dogs 62．What can we infer from the passage?A．Scott and his party encountered danger on the two expeditions to the Antarctic．B．The government didn't support Scott's second expedition to the Antarctic．C．Amundsen tried several times to reach the South Pole but he failed．D．Scott didn't make special preparations for his second expedition to the Antarctic．63．The underlined word "unassailable" in the last paragraph, means"_ _"．A．unclear B．unconfirmedC．unfortunate D．undoubtedCFailure, they say, is the best teacher．We learn and gain more confidence through trial and error．At one time or another we will encounter failure．You don’t have to accept your failure if what you really want to achieve is success．For every achievement, there have been one or more failures．But those who we call successful are those who refuse to accept failure and believe success is the other side of failure．The incandescent light 〔白炽灯〕was invented after 1000 failure．Assuming he had stopped after he tried 100 times without the desired result, what would have been the result of such effort?Any time you see products and new inventions, think in terms of failures that are not accepted．Moreover, everything in a microform today is a result of failure that is not accepted．Any time your effort is not bring a desired result, you don’t have to call it a failure．Call it a chanllenge．What is the difference between the two? One is negative, and the other is positive; one motivates, and the other demotivates．What you need is positive thinking and motivation to attain success．Failure is an end thing; challenging is an open thing．Failure means there is no way out, no altermative, but challenge is a question mark asking another way out of the situation, an alternative solution to the problem, the job at hand．Keep dreaming and moving; that is the solution to success．A wise man once said if you cannot fly, run．If you cannot run, walk．If you cannot walk, crawl; just keep on moving．If you fall down, you have to get up and start moving．If not, other people will step on you to the way to their success．What you call failure and abandon is what someone will continue with just a little additional effort to reach success．64．Failure is the best teacher because___________．A．what people have learned from failure is the bestB．people will know what failure is like after failureC．people can learn a lot by trying various solutionsD．numerous failure are sure to lead to success65．The author gave the example of the incandescent light in Paragraph 2 in order to______．A．show that success is the other side of failureB．tell people their efforts will be paid off finallyC．advise people not to waste their timeD．prove that every achievement is based on invention66．What is the advantage if you regard a failure as a challenge?A．you will feel proud even if you fail many times．B．You won’t fear failure and will be ready to accept it．C．Failure means pain while challenge sounds good．D．You will continue trying your best to succeed．67．In which part could this passage be found if it is taken from a magazine?A． Economy. B． Career. C．Culture. D．Wealth.DI think that genetically modified foods should be banned．Here's why．We have no idea of the real impact they have on our environment．While there's currently no hard proof that environmental damage is being done by genetically modified foods, there are a few worrying and suspect events that may actually be tied to these products．Most important is the sudden loss of huge numbers of bee hives．Bees are necessary to the pollination process for soybeans and many other food crops．It's entirely possible that "the law of unintended consequences" has caused the loss of these extremely important insects．There's also no real way to prevent cross contamination 〔交叉污染〕 between modified crops and natural crops．When neighboring fields are planted with different varieties of computable〔可共存的〕 plants, there is a virtual guarantee of some cross pollination between the fields．We have no idea of the real impact they have on human beings．There is already documented evidence that genetically modified foods may be the cause of higher allergy 〔过敏〕 rates in children, It's impossible to guess v/hat other effectsthey may eventually cause．I suspect that most people have forgotten the serious health scare and complete failure that occurred in 1989 that caused death or health problems for hundreds of people．The product causing the problem was L-tryptophan, an amino acid; Commercially produced L-tryptophan is developed through a bacterial fermentation process．One maker of the supplement developed a genetically modified strain of bacteria which was capable of producing higher quantities of L-tryptophan．Unfortunately, the process "broke" somewhere along the line with the genetically altered bacteria creating an altered form of the chemical which had devastating effects on people who consumed it．Since there is no way to predict these kinds or changes, it's both foolish and dangerous to introduce genetically modified products into the food chain. Finally, there's no need for genetically modified foods．Most companies that produce these products will send out statistics about higher output per acre or plants that are more tolerant to negative conditions．But the truth is that the claims, while at least partially true, are mostly rhetoric．These companies are really just looking for a way to increase their bottom line profits．They may not actually intend to, damage the ecosystem or create new health problems for people．But in my opinion it's not nice to fool Mother Nature．She may offer up a variety of severe surprises in response．68．What's the structure of the passage?69．The sudden loss of bee hives may be due to ___ .A．environmental pollution from human beingsB．genetically modified productsC．cross-contamination between modified cropsD．cross pollination between the fields70．Which of the following words best describes genetically modified foods?A．Risky． B．Deadly. C．Harmful．D．Healthy．71．Most companies advocate the genetically modified products in order to _ _．A．increase their output B．solve health problemsC．earn more money D．protect the ecosystemEInternet access and power outlets available in most cafes in the．developed world might reduce your productivity．A typical tale from store managers is of customers who buy a single cup of coffee or tea and occupy a four-seat table for eight or more hours．A store full of these people turns the shop into a silence broken only by the tapping of keyboard keys．In others, however, customers use the network briefly, and the turnover is high．Cafe owners have talked about their discomfort for years．Some cafes founders started turning off Wi-Fi 〔无线网络〕 on the weekends．The experiment led to success, they said．People who otherwise avoided the cafe came in, and the place became crowded on Saturdays and Sundays．In the years since, hundreds of articles have appeared about similar cases in which a coffee shop turns off the signal, and sometimes blocks electrical outlets．Nick Bilton, the New York Times" Bits blog editor, was banned from reading an electronic book a few days ago．The Actual Cafe in Oakland opened last year with lapton-free weekends．The owner, Sal Bednarz, wrote in an email, "I think it's fascinating that we've allowed technology to enter so much of our lives that it can feel like an affront 〔冒犯〕 when someone asks us to step awayfrom it for a short while．"Dan Drozdenko, the owner of the Down beat Cafe in Los Angeles, says, “People come here because we don't offer it．They know they can get their work done and concentrated．"For tasks that don't require constant monitoring of live date—such as stock management or minding server operations—productivity seems to soar when the constant bright shiny ball of the Internet is nowhere to be seen．People often leave the house or office to free themselves of conditions that reduce productivity, only to walk into a venue that lets them surf, and otherwise avoid focus．Could the offer of single-tasking and quiet thinking be a selling point when drinking coffee or tea? A moment's relief from the Blackbgerry buzz, the iphone alert, the Android annoyance? Only if one remembers to turn off one's 3G connection, too．72．What's the disadvantage for a cafe owner if the customers use the Internet long?A．It makes the turnover slow and affects the business．B．It makes the cafe silent and is bad for its atmosphere．C．The owner is disturbed by the tapping of keyboard keys．D．It costs a lot to offer Internet access to customers．73．What happened after Wi-Fi was turned off in the cafe on the weekends?A．It added much inconvenience to peopleB．Customers stayed in the cafe longer than before．C．The environment in the cafe was improved．D．There were more customers in the cafe．74．What can be inferred from the words of Dan Drozdenko?A．If people don't get their work done, they shouldn't go to a coffee shop．B．If people go to a coffee shop, they would concentrate more on their work．C．If people do their work while surfing the Internet in a coffee shop, they can't concentrate．D．If people can't surf the Internet in a coffee shop, they would be unwilling to come,75．The underlined word "soar" in Paragraph 6 is the closest in meaning to "__"．A．exist B．maintainC．rise D．change．五、书面表达(2012·市朝阳区届高三第一次模拟考试〕In your English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain to your classmates how you understand it.提示词公鸡 cock参考答案21【解析】选A。

His record was 36 and he wasnot 37 to take part in any other competitions for two years.It was a great 38 and 39 for Xiong, one of the best-known swimmers in the world.

If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated(淘汰), the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined. Typically the Games are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of growing importance television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city’s time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committee----not the IOC or the NOC of the host city’s country to prov ide them with money. This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入), and corporate sponsorships(社团赞助), tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities haveachieved amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. When the financial gains from the Games were less than expected, the city was left with large debts.61. _______will be determined to host the Olympic Games by the IOC.A. A city that submits a proposalB. One that hasn’t hosted the GamesC. A city that has perfect time zoneD. A majority winner in voting62. If the Games take place in Canada, American television networks___.A.are willing to pay much higher amounts for television rightsB.will be forbidden to broadcast live sporting eventsC.can’t broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hoursD.will not pay for the Canadian television networks63. According to the last paragraph, which following statement is true?A.The host city must be left with large debtsB. The city may achieve a lotof moneyA.There is no financial risk in hosting the Olympic GamesB.It is impossible that the host city couldn’t make money64. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Applying for host for OlympicsB. Winner or loserC. How to host Olympic GamesD. The Olympic Games（2012·福建省厦门一中高三高考模拟试题）CSkating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basic, there' s nothing like it. Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time．Stand straightThe first thing that you need to do is, stand straight. If you feel that you are falling backwards, then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees. Don't worry; this happens to all．Confidence is what you needThe most important step while learning how to skate backwards, is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing. How can you achieve this? By practice. Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slop every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort. If you feel that you are losing your balance, then scissor（做剪式运动）your skates. Keep practicing this till you are confident about it．Maintain SpeedConfident now? Great! Now the next step is to maintain your speed．While rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling（滑浆）, that is, keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke（滑动）. Now bring the skate which you were using to scull, and then again, repeat the same process. Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling. Now, try the same thing using the other foot. Again keep doing this till you are confident enough．Increase Your Speed NowOnce you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed. Try some of your own tricks now. Scull with either foot or with both at the same time．Scull and Be AwareWhile you keep one foot straight, keep sculling with the other. You can do that simultaneously（同时，一起）with both feet. Concentrate on what you are doing but don't get so involved that you don't see where you are going. If you are not watching your back, you might just bang against something or someone．65. In order to keep balance when skating backwards you should _____.A. skate in a scissor gestureB. use both your feet to scullC. skate forward first and then backwardD. put most of your weight on the skate with which you are sculling66. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _____.A. skating and keeping cautious are both importantB. one must be brave to learn to ice - skate backwardsC. it’s difficult to concentrate when ice - skating backwardsD. it’s a common thing to hit someone when ice - skating backwards67. The purpose of the text is _____.A. to compare different ways of ice - skating backwardsB. to introduce the culture of ice - skating backwardsC. to explain advantages of ice - skating backwardsD. to offer some advice on ice - skating backwardsDMovie ExtrasWould you mind lying in a coffin (棺材)? Would you shave your head? Are you willing to take out your false teeth?These are just a few of the questions Anne Marie Stewart and her staff sometimes ask the "talent" who serve as non-speaking "extras" in special films, television series, and made-for-TV movies produced in Toronto.Of course, the majority of extra calls are for more ordinary people, and Stewart has a list of about 650 registered extras. Crowd scenes, which are common, call for everyday people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and sizes.Over at Movie People, last-minute requests are not unusual. "We got a request once for an entire brass band of 30 people. They wanted it within the hour," said manager Yvonne McCartney. Another time, the company got a last-minute request for a newborn baby. "We found a baby that was three weeks premature," said Jonathan Aiken, an owner of the company.Then there was the worried call from a casting director whose "Star" got doggone stubborn one day and decided to just lie down and not work. The director needed a replacement dog, fast. "We got them two in one hour." said Aiken. "It was a matter of good connections and fast phone work." The eight phone lines needed to make 350 to 400 calls a day are one of Movie People's major expenses.Phone lines are the only way to stay in touch with casting directors and extras; but the latter are a group not necessarily interested in a long-term relationship.Most extra jobs pay only $7 an hour (with a six-hour minimum), while most agencies charge an annual $75 registration fee and get 10 to 15 per cent of extras’ earnings. It's no wonder that the turnover rate is fairly high.Some people who are between jobs do extra work as a temporary measure, said McCartney. But professionals, such as lawyers, also do the work because it's interesting. Others with flexible jobs have a desire to do something different. Some homemakers want to get out of the house and onto a movie set. Money's not the motivating reason."One of the first things I say to people who walk in and ask about being an extra is, ‘You have to be available,' "said a person a t Karen Clifton Agency. Inc. "The next thing I say is, 'You can't make a living at this.' ”68. What kind of people are movie extras?A. TV series makers.B. Casting directors.C. Non-professional movie actors.D. Agents for movie stars.69. According to the passage, movie extras should _____.A. have special talentsB. have a flexible scheduleC. make good connectionsD. make hundreds of phone calls daily70. Why do white collar workers most probably like to be movie extras?A. They want to make more money.B. They want to start a career in acting.C. They think their regular job is boring.D. They think being on the stage is enjoyable.71. The underlined word “turnover” in the six th paragraph probably means _____.A. business profitB. the loss of staffC. market demandD. operation expensesEWhy texting harms your IQThe regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twiceas much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user’s IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men.It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person’s mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one’s characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a worker’s performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balancedand appropriate way of workin g.”72. We can learn from the passage that “infomania” ______.A. has a positive influence on one’s IQB. results in the change of part of the brainC. lies in the problem of lack of concentrationD. is caused by too much use of modern technology73. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ______.A. the important function of advanced technologyB. the damage to one’s brain done by unhealthy habitsC. the tie between intelligence and working effectivenessD. the relationship between IQ and use of modern technology74. The underlined word “scrutinized” in Para. 3 probably means “______”.A. corrected quicklyB. copied patientlyC. examined carefullyD. admitted freely75. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion 五、书面表达假设你是美国中学生Tom，请根据下图提示，给你的一个朋友写一封信，讲述一次你在北京观看奥运赛事的经历及感受。

What he means is that when good luck comes, a great man knows how to seize the opportunity and 36 advantage of it.There is a story about Bill Gates, the 37 of Microsoft that proves this. One day an executive from a large computer company came to his 38 looking for someone who had 39 a new operating system for computers. He didn’t know too much about the inventor or his operating system, and he wasn’t 40 sure of the inventor’s address. At that time everything in the computer business was so new and so disorganized 41 normal business procedures were almost unknown.It 42 that the inventor lived in a home next to Gates, but he was not at home when the executive came by. He may have been 43 at a meeting or shopping for new equipment. The executive, 44 no one home, wasn’t sure what to do, but he didn’t want to waste his trip, so he stopped by Gates’ house to ask him if he knew anything about the inv entor’s system and 45 it worked.Since Gates was working on very 46 software, most other people in his place would have spoken 47 with the executive, told him that he was working on something else, and then forgotten about the whole thing. Gates, however, saw a （n） 48 and jumped on it. He told the executive that 49 he was working on his own operating system（he wasn’t）and he would be 50 to discuss it with the executive in a few weeks.After the executive 51 to a meeting to be held a few weeks later, Gates quickly went out 52 for someone who had a workable new operating system. As an engineer he had a better idea than the executive about what he needed, and when he found someone with an operating system that he liked, he made modifications（修改） 53 on what the executive told him. His meeting a few weeks later was a great 54 , and Gates’ new operating system was sold to the large company and the sale became the foundation of Microsoft. Within two decades Gates was the richest manin the world. He 55 his own luck by seizing an unexpected opportunity.36. A. take B. make C. use D. give37.

The pesticides involved can destroychildren’s hormones and some are suspected of causing cancer.The good news for British fruit growers is that samples（抽样）grown in thiscountry had lower residue level than imported fruit, so buying home-produced fruitwill reduce the danger, said Emily Diaman, one of the Earth’s senior food researchers and one of the authors of the report.56. The reason why “An apple a day may poison children” is that __________.A. there are some harmful insects or worms in the appleB. children would get a poisonous level of pesticides because of the remains on the appleC. there are always more pesticides on the apples produced in BritainD. the apple is too hard for children to eat57. According to the passage, the internationally agreed method of checking remains __________.A. tells exactly the pesticide level of each appleB. works well only with British fruitsC. can’t tell whether a specific apple is safe to eat or notD. used mathematical modeling to measure exposure to pesticides for children.58. The underlined word “residue” can be replaced by __________.A. remainsB. pesticideC. poisonD. medicine59. Which of the following is NOT true？A. The remains of the pesticides can do harm to the children’s health.B. The remains of the pesticides can do harm to the children’s hormones.C. Some remains of the pesticides are suspected of causing cancer.D. Fo r safety, we’d better not eat apples from Britain.BDo you know who invented the slide-fastener, or rather, the zipper（拉链）? No one thought of anything like the zipper until Whitcomb Judson came along. Judson’s slide-fastener was an out-of-blue invention. No one knows what gave him the idea. No one even knows much about him, except that he was a mechanical engineer living in Chicago and that he patented other inventions to do with a street railway system and motorcars.Judson invented the first zipper in 1891. This ingenious little device looks very simple, and the principle behind it is simple, too; yet it took a lot of years, together with another inventor to make the zipper really practical.The zipper had to be produced cheaply, because no one would pay a lot of money for it. Judson invented a machine to mass-produce his slide-fastener. But the machinewas terribly complicated and kept on breaking down. So in 1905 Judson invented a new fastener, the C-curity, which was easier to manufacture. Clothing manufacturers, however, were not the least bit interested in trying out the fasteners, so the only way Judson could get them on to the market was by letting pedlars（小贩） sell them from door to door. Moreover, the C-curity fastener was clumsy and had a bad habit of bursting open at inconvenient times.Then a young Swedish engineer called Sundback came to work for Judson’s struggling company. He thought hard and decided that the interlocking parts needed to be much smaller to give the fastener greater flexibility and to stop it bursting open. After several attempts, Sundback invented a really practical fastener in 1913. It is in all important ways the same as the one we use today.Clothing manufacturers still refused to use the fastener. But in 1918 an inventor showed the American army a flying suit he had invented. It happened to use the slide-fastener. The army put the suit through such tough tests that it disintegrated(分裂)---all except the fastener! A Navy officer happened to see the tests, and Judson’s unknown little company got an order for ten thousa nd fasteners. Later, Judson’s invention was used in the manufacture of rubber galoshes（橡胶套鞋）by a big company. They called the galoshes `Zippers´. This is how the slide-fastener got it s popular name.60. What does the sentence “Whitcomb Judson’s slide-fastener was called an out-of-blue invention” in the first paragraph mean?A. That it was blue in color.B. That it was totally unexpected.C. That it was excellent in quality.D. That it was not practical.61. How many years did it take for a really practical zipper to be invented?A. 22B. 18C. 19D. 1362. What do we know about Whitcomb Judson according to the passage?A. It took Judson a lot of years to invent the first zippers.B. Judson, together with Sundback invented a really practical fastener in 1913.C. Judson invented a lot of things, not only including zippers but also a streetrailway system and motorcars.D. People know little about Whitcomb Judson except a few facts.63. What can you conclude from the passage?A. The invention of the zipper was no plain sailing but its marketing was.B. At least three inventors worked for the perfection of the zipper.C. The slide-fastener acquired its present name only after it was used in themanufacturing of army suits.D. It was only by a stroke of luck that the zipper found its way into a wider market.64. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To tell us how the zipper works.B. To give a brief sketch about the inventors of the zipper.C. To give us information about the invention of the zipper.D. To argue who the real inventor of the zipper was.(2012·海南省洋浦中学高三第一次月考）CThere was once an ant that was very thirsty.It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it.The ant drank the water, which saved its life.The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying.
