Gone, for the most part, are the ankle-hugging high-tops that supposedly ____41____ to protect players from injury.The change over the last few years to low- top sneakers(运动鞋) seems to go against conventional wisdom.

The Jordans were excellent. The market went from being nothing to a million-dollar business __48___.”One of the reasons high-tops are not so __49__ anymore is that they were never really very good at protecting the feet.In an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2008, University of Newcastle researcher Craig Richards found no evidence that sneakers__50__ injuries. His research actually found that high-top basketball sneakers could even cause players to run slower and jump lower. Now, the contest has become a war.

Here, some tips are given on how to go about it.A university degree is no __51___ of a job, and job hunting in itself requires a whole set of skills. if you find you are not getting past the first interview, ask yourself what is happening. Is it a(n) __52__ to communicate or are there some skills you lack? And find out what you need t do to bring yourself up to the level of __53__ that would make you more attractive t them.Do not be too discouraged if you are __54__ for a job, but think about the reasons the employers give. Those who made the second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of __55__ ability level, but they had something which made them a __56___ match to the selector’s ideal. That could be experience gained through projects or vacation work, or it might be that they were better at communicating what they could offer. Do not take the comments at __57__ value: think back to the interviews that generated them and make a list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies. With this sort of analytical approach you will eventually get your foot in the door.Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call. Stay too long and future employers may question your ___58__ and ambition. Of course, it depends on where you are aiming. If you are a graduate, spending five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage of the __59__. However, do not use this as a(n) __60__ for lacking interest or enthusiasm. Graduates sometimes fail to take ownership of their careers and take the initiative. It is up to you to make the most of what’s available within a company, and to monitor progress in case you need to__61__.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A).Iceland, an island just south of the Arctic Circle, has fairly mild winters, thanks to warm ocean currents. Time your vacation here during the winter months to take advantage of off-season deals.Off-season means good deals on flights, hotels and tours. You may also find that the locals are a bit friendlier and more welcoming when tourists aren’t arriving in crowds. In the winter months, there are less than seven hours of daylight; thus, chances are good you’ll catch sight of the northern lights. Sun sets are also beautiful at this time, making for some great photo opportunities.In Iceland, winter is the perfect time to hike glaciers, go ice climbing, explore caves made out of hardened lava(岩浆) and much more. One of the most popular activities is off-roading(越野比赛) in a specially-equipped “super jeep”.Before booking your trip, be sure to check for volcano alerts. There are about 130 volcanoes on or around Iceland. Thirty-five of them are active. In 2010, a volcano named Eyjaallajokull exploded, sending clouds of ash up to four kilometers into the atmosphere. The ash drifted toward the UK and Europe. Because the ask could damage aircraft engines, airlines operating in the region were forced to cancel flights for six days. As a result, thousands of people were stuck in airports.Recently, another volcano named Bardarbunga has become active, erupting ash into the air. Such events, if large enough, could prevent your trip from going ahead. So check the latest volcano news prior to making your reservations.66. According to this article, why are you more likely to see the northern lights in the winter?A. They move from rural areas to cities.B. The weather is more stable at that time.C.

Mrs. Grace likes to share her version of tasks outcome in class, which could be labeled _____.A. ASSESSMENT OF LEARNINGB. KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTIONC. DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIESD. SELF-SELECTION(C)A rapidly advancing contemporary science that is highly dependent on new tools is Earth system science. Earth system science involves observation and measurements on the Earth at all scales from the largest to the smallest. The huge amounts of data that are gathered come from many different locations and require special techniques for handling data. Important new tools that facilitate Earth system science include satellite remote sensing, small deep-sea submarines, and geographic information systems.More than any other way of gathering evidence, satellite observations continually remind us that each part of the Earth interacts with and is dependent on all other parts. Earth system science was born from the realization of that interdependence. Satellite remote sensing makes possible observations at large scales, and in many cases, measurements of factors that could not otherwise be measured. For example, the ozone hole over Antarctica--the decrease in the concentration of ozone high in the atmosphere--is measured by remote sensing, as are changes in deserts, forests, and farmlands around the world. Such measurements can be used in many areas of specialization besides Earth system science. Archaeology, for example, has benefited from satellite observations that reveal the traces of ancient trade routes across the Arabian Desert.New tools for exploring previously inaccessible areas of the Earth have also added greatly to our knowledge of the Earth system. Small deep-sea submarines allow scientists to travel to the depths of the ocean. There they have discovered new species and ecosystems thriving near deep-sea vents that emit heat, sasses, and mineral-rich water.Just as important as new methods of measurement and exploration are new ways to store and analyze data about the Earth system. Computer-based software programs known as geographic information systems, or GIS, allow a large number of data points to be stored along with their locations. These can be used to produce maps and to compare different sets of information gathered at different times. For example,satellite remote sensing images of a forest can be converted to represent stages in the forest's growth. Two such images, made at different times can be overlaid and compared, and the changes that have taken place can be represented in a new image.74. The word "facilitate" in Paragraph I is closest in meaning to ________.A. enableB. requireC. organizeD. examine75. The author of the passage mentions that satellite observations are especiallyeffective in ________.A. conducting scientific studies of life on the ocean floorB. predicting future climate changesC. providing data to determine Earth's ageD. demonstrating interactions among all of Earth's parts76. According to the passage, satellite observations of the Arabian Desert allowarchaeologists to know ________.A). indications of ancient routes B. evidence of former lakesC. traces of early farmsD. remains of ancient forests77.What is the main idea of the passage?A. special techniques are needed to classify the huge amounts of data about Earth.B. New tools provide information about Earth that was once impossible to obtain.C. Advances in Earth system science have resolved many environmental problems.D. Satellite remote sensing can show changes between two images taken years apart. Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For a sight of an evolving technology that promises to shake video gaming to its foundation, check out “Throw Trucks With Your Mind”.Unlike most video games, it doesn't rely solely on a mouse. Instead, its players also put on a headset that enables them to throw trucks or other virtual objects simply by thinking.And that's just for starters. Advocates of so- called neurogaming(交感神经游戏)say the concept in a few years will combine a wide variety of physiological factors, from a player's heart rate and hand gestures to pupil dilation(瞳孔扩张) and emotions. Moreover, they imagine many such games being developed to improve the health, brainpower and skills of those playing them.The electroencephalography(脑电波仪), or EEG, headset used to throw trucks and other objects onto enemies was made by San Jose, California.-based NeuroSky. It measures separate brainwave frequencies that reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are, according to Lat Ware of Emeryville, California., who developed the game. The game, which can be purchased at , costs $25, or $99 with the headset.Ware, 29, said it's possible to move a pear or other small virtual object if the player is calm, but not focused, or vice versa. But he said both mental states are essential toflatten an enemy with a huge truck, which takes considerable concentration. Although only a few neurogames have been introduced so far and their action tends to be fairly limited, the games are expected to become far more challenging - and multipurpose - as the software and related technology improves.One concept being explored is to develop games that adjust their action according to the player's changing emotions. These are measured by such factors as their facial expressions, eye movement and skin- conductance(皮肤导电) levels. Another approach is to make games that influence how the player thinks and feels.Consider Los Angeles- based Melon, which, like "Throw Trucks With Your Mind," was recently launched via the online fundraising site Kickstarter. Melon officials say their first game-- which challenges players to fold origami(折纸) with their mind, using NeuroSky's EEG headset -- helps people "learn how to focus, relax and meditate better."78. According to this article, what is the purpose of developing the new kind of games?79. The function of brainwave frequencies measured by EEG made by San Jose is to _________.80. According to Ware, if you want to throw something such as a truck, you must be __________.81.What is the new idea being studied to develop more challenging and multipurpose games?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS)第II卷(共47分)I.

They are kept so thatpeople can go and see them. For example, art museums are places wherepeople can learn about v 81 cultures. More and more popular"design museums" are opening today, h 82 , play quite a differentrole. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found in our daily life, such as fridges and washing machines. The a 83 of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Being different from the art m useum visitors, design museum visitors s 84____ feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-products(批量产品)work and look as they do, and how design has i 85 our lives. People can see the better changes of theproducts. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something they don't understand.Several new design museums have opened their doors in recent years. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public's growing interest in the field with new i 86 . London's Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less s 87 than those to art museum.

She seemed so ___75___ as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, "I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship (奖学金). I am going to playcollege basketball. I want to be the best.

The coach told her that at 5'5" she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship -- so she should stop ___79___ college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong.

A. outlooks B. opinions C. concepts D. implicationsAFor four lonely years, Evelyn Jones of Rockford, Illinois, lived friendless and forgotten in one room of a cheap hotel. “I wasn’t sick, but I was acting sick,” the 78-year-old widow says, “Every day was the same. I would just lie on my bed and maybe cook up some soup.” Then, six months ago, she was invited to The Brighter Side -- Rockford’s day care center for the elderly. Every weekday morning since then, she has left her home to meet nine other old people in a church for a rich program of charity work, trips, games, and -- most important of all -- friendly companionship.Just a few years ago, there were few choices for the elderly between a normal life in their own homes and being totally confined in nursing homes. Many of them were sent to rest homes long before they needed full-time care. Others like Mrs. Jones were left to take care of themselves. But in 1971, the White House Conference on Aging called for the development of alternatives to care in nursing homes for old people, and since then, government-supported day-care programs like The Brighter Side have been developed in most big American cities.“This represents a real alternative to the feared institution and makes old people believe they have not left the world of living”, says Alice Brophy, 64, director of New York City’s Office for the Aging, “They do well at the centers, and I hate it when people describe us as elderly playpens（婴儿扶栏）.” New York’s 138 centers encourage continuing contact for the aged with the community’s life. The centers serve more than 15,000 members, and volunteer workers are always looking for new ones. If someone doesn’t show up at the center for several days in a row, a worker at the center calls to make sure all is well. And although participation in the center is free, those who want to can pay for their lunches.No normal studies have been made of these centers for the elderly, but government officials are enthusiastic. In the future, the Public Health Service will do a study to decide if the programs can receive federal Medicare money. And the old people themselves are very happy with the programs. “There is no way”, says Evelyn Jones, smiling at her new companions at the Brighter Side, “that I will ever go back to spending my day with all those loses at the hotel.”66. According to the passage, many old people went to the nursing homes because______________.A. They are in urgent need of full-time care.B. They were rather willing to go there.C. They were sent there.D. They were volunteers there.67. We can conclude from the statements of Alice Brophy that______________.A. the centers are like elderly playpens.B. the old people do well at the day care centers.C. old people like nursing institutions.D. outside the Brighter side they don’t work for the old.68. What’s author’s attitude towards the program of day care centers?A. pessimistic.B. concerned.C. neutral.D. optimistic.69. What is the main idea of the article?A. Day care centers may be able to receive federal Medicare money.B. Day care centers can make life better for elderly people.C. Many old people in the United States are lonely.D. Old people have no place in their society.BBiographyNicole Mary Kidman, AC (born 20 June 1967) is an American-born Australian actress, fashion model, singer and humanitarian.

A fashion magazineB. An auto-biography D. A national newspaperC“The Heart of the Matter,” the newly-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS), deserves praise for attaching the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by federal states and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors(捐助者) and others to maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education. In response, the AAAS formed the Committee on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the Committee’s 51 members are top-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, and business executives, as well as distinguished figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because the government supports full literacy (识字) of citizens, the report stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the introduction of a series of curricula that improve students’ ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning into practice on the great challenges of the day. The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages, international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately, despite 2 years in the making, "The Heart of the Matter" never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities. The committee ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly, the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing “progressive”.Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legal intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well hold back reform by obscuring(遮蔽) the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to clarify.74. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to___________.A. maintain people’s interest in liberal educationB. define the government’s role in educationC. keep a leading position in liberal educationD. safeguard individuals’ rights to education75. Which one of the following statements about what the AAAS plan suggests is true ?A. An exclusive study of American history.B. A greater emphasis on theoretical subjects.C. The application of emerging technologies. D. Funding for the study of foreign languages.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. professors are routinely supportive of free marketsB. intellectual investigation are put great value on in collegeC. progressive public policy is out of boundaries of proper studyD. professors have prejudice against classical liberal ideas77. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal EducationB. Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter”C. Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter”“D. Progressive Policy vs. Liberal Education答案BCADB BDBAB ACADCCBDB CBBA CCDB。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)You took a midterm exam(25) (hope) to get a 95 percent. When you got your best paper back, you see you received only a 70 percent. How do you handle the situation? Do you1.make a study plan for(26) (improve) your grade;2.keep doing what you’re doing and hope for the best next time;e a persuasive argument to try and convince your teacher to give you(27) better grade?Your answer to the above question shows your EQ, you emotional intelligence. What exactly is EQ? Psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer define it as the ability to understand your own feeling and emotions and(28) of others.Research supports the significance of EQ. A 40-year study of 450 boys found that IQ wasn’t the only thing that affected life success. The qualities that did were ability(29) (handle) frustration, control emotions and get along with other people.Can you improve a low EQ? Yes! Start by noticing how you feel. That’s the first step in becoming more skillful at managing your feelings. Second, pay attention to how you behave when you feel certain emotions. Then analyze(30) that affects your daily life.Next, take responsibility for your feelings and actions. They come from you and no one else. Then you (31) (have) a higher EQ ------and likely have a happier and more rewarding life as well.(B)Imagine shopping in another country and spotting a beautiful scarf. The salesperson tell you the price,(32) it’s more than you want to pay. What do you do?The answer depends largely on what part of the world you’re in. Are you visiting Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin American or Africa? In these places, prices often are not set in stone. In fact, customers (33) (expect) to begin before agreeing to a price.On the other, in North America, Europe and Australia, bargaining is rare and often not allowed. The price(34) (list) on a price tag cannot be changed.Large stores and malls usually don’t allow bargaining. On the other hand, outdoor stalls and flea markets, even in Western countries, usually don’t allow bargaining. When in doubt, consult a guidebook or (35) (good)yet, a local friend.(36) bargaining customs vary, a few rules of etiquette apply in most cultures. First, avoid wasting people’s time. If you don’t intend to make a purchase, don’t start bargaining. While bargaining, it is OK to walk away. But once you agree to a price, you(37) buy the item. Even in countries(38) don’t allow bargaining, you may find plentiful opportunities to save money. Many stores sell old items on clearance. Other offer discount cards to regularcustomers. Some of these can function as credit cards(39) the store, and a few can even be used elsewhere.(40) you go, understanding local customs can help you find good prices.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A.accountedB. limitedC. commercialsD. popularE. overnightF. helpedG. increasedH. symbolsI. thoughJ. talentedK. fashionThe next time you watch NBA playoff (季后赛) action on TV, take a close look at the shows that many players are wearing. Gone, for the most part, are the ankle-hugging high-tops that supposedly ___41___ to protect players from injury.The change over the last few years to low-top sneakers(运动鞋) seems to go against conventional wisdom. Strangely, ___42___ , Steven Nash and Kobe Bryant, two of the most ___43___ players with the Los Angeles Lakers, aren’t worried.According to the US market-research firm NPD Groups, high-tops once ___44___ for about 20 percent of the US basketball shoe market. Now, the number has sunk to about 8 percent. Low-tops, the kind that Nash and Bryant wear, have grown to 29 percent, from just 11 percent in 2002.High-top sneakers are one of the most celebrated ___45___ in modern basketball. After the 1985 Air Jordans so transformed the market, show companies began battling one another. They put air pumps in the tongues of their shoes and made carefully prepared and organized ___46___.“All of a sudden it became a ___47___ business,”Marshal Cohen, an analyst with NPD group, told The Wall Street Journal. “The Jordans were excellent. The market went from being nothing to a million-dollar business ___48___.”One of the reasons high-tops are not so ___49___ anymore I sthat they were never really very good at protecting the feet.In an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2008, University of Newcastle researcher Craig Richards found no evidence that sneakers ___50___ injuries. His research actually found that high-top basketball sneakers could ever cause players to run slower and jump lower. Now the contest has become a war. Companies like Adidas, Nike, Converse and Reebok are all fighting to create the next “air Jordan,” and with the next market battle.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Are you a graduate trying to plan out the b est career path for yourself? We’ve asked five careers consultants to give some tips on how to go about it.A university degree is no ___51___ of a job, and job hunting in itself requires a whole set ofskills. If you find you are not getting past the first interview, ask yourself what is happening. Is it a(n) ___52___ to communicate or are there some skills you lack? And find out what you need to do to bring yourself up to the level of___53___ that would make you more attractive to them.Do not be too dispirited if you are ___54___ for a job, but think about the reasons the employers give. Those who made the second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of ___55___ ability level, but they had something which made them a ___56___ m atch to the selector’s ideal. That could be experience gained through projects or vacation work, or it might be that they were better at communicating what they could offer. Do not take the comments at ___57___ value: think back to the interviews that generated them and make a list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies. With this sort of analytical approach you will eventually get your foot in the door.Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call. Stay too long and future employers may question your ___58___ and ambition. Of course, it depends where you are aiming. There can be advantages in moving sideways rather than up, if you want to gain real depth of knowledge. If you are a graduate, spending five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage of the ___59___. However, do not use this as a(n) ___60___ for lacking interest or enthusiasm. Graduates sometimes fail to take ownership of their careers and take the initiative. It is up to you to make the most of what’s available within a company, and to monitor your progress in case you need to ___61___. This applies particularly if you are still not sure where your career path lies.It is helpful to think through what kind of experience you need to get your ___62___ job and it is not a problem to move around to a certain extent. But in the ___63___ stages of your career you need a definite strategy for reaching your goal, so think about that carefully before deciding to move on from your first job. You must cultivate ___64___ to be content for any role.

A. know B. prohibit C. master D. selectSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Iceland, an island just south of the Arctic Circle, has fairly mild winters, thanks to warm ocean currents. Time your vacation here during the winter months to take advantage of off-season deals.Off-season means good deals on flights, hotels and tours. You may also find that the locals are a bit f riendlier and more welcoming when tourists aren’t arriving in crowds.In the winter months there are less than seven hours of daylight；thus, chances are good you’ll catch sight of the northern lights. Sunsets are also beautiful ant this time, making for some great photo opportunities.In Iceland, winter is the perfect time to hike glaciers, go ice climbing, explore caves made out of hardened lava(岩浆) and much more. One of the most popular activities is off-roading (越野比赛) in a specially-equipped “super jeep.”Before booking your trip, be sure to check for volcano alerts. There are about 130 volcanoes on or around Iceland. Thirty-five of them are active. In 2010, a volcano named Eyjafjallajokull exploded, sending clouds of ash up to four kilometers in the atmosphere. The ash drifted toward the UK and Europe. Because the ash could damage aircraft engines, airlines operating in the region were forced to cancel flights for six days. As a result, thousands of people were stuck in airports.Recently, another volcano named Bardarbunga has become active, erupting ash into the air. Such events, if large enough could prevent your trip from going ahead. So check the latest volcano news prior to making your reservations.66. According to this article, why are you more likely to see the northern lights in the winter?A. They move from rural areas to cities.B. The weather is more stable at that time.C. They’re a special feature of many festivals.D. The sky is dark for longer periods then.67. According to this article, how do visitors to Iceland have fun in the winter?A. They learn how to ski down the mountains.B. They photograph famous historic sites.C. They explore the countryside in well made vehicles.D. They spend a week at one of the seaside resorts.68. What is true about the volcanoes of Iceland?A. The majority of them are quiet.B. Their age hasn’t bee n determined.C. All but one of them are extinct.D. Citizens aren’t affected by them.69. What does this article explain?A. Some of Iceland’s urban cultural attractions.B. A way to reduce the cost of a trip to Iceland.C. Reasons for visiting Iceland in June and July.D. The average price for a short tour of Iceland.(B)SELF-REFLECTION OF TEACHING PRACTICES READING, WRITING, TALKINGSchool: Date:Grade(s) presently teaching:PLEASE DO NOT SIGN YOUR NAME.

Mrs. Grace likes to share her version of tasks out come in class which could be labeled___________.A. ASSESSMENT OF LEARNINGB. KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTIONC. DEMONSTRA TION OF STRA TEGIESD. SELF-SELECTION(C)A rapidly advancing contemporary science that is highly dependent on new tools is Earth system science. Earth system science involves observation and measurements on the Earth at all scales from the largest to the smallest. The huge amounts of data that are gathered come from many different locations and require special techniques for handling data. Important new tools that facilitate Earth system science include satellite remote sensing, small deep-sea submarines, and geographic information systems.More than any other way of gathering evidence, satellite observations continually remind us that each part of the Earth interacts with and is dependent on all other parts.Earth system science was born from the realization of that interdependence. Satellite remote sensing makes possible observations at large scales, and in many cases, measurements of factors that could not otherwise be measured. For example, the ozone hole over Antarctica--the decrease in the concentration of ozone high in the atmosphere--is measured by remote sensing, as are changes in deserts, forests, and farmlands around the world. Such measurements can be used in many areas of specialization besides Earth system science. Archaeology, for example, has benefited from satellite observations that reveal the traces of ancient trade routes across the Arabian Desert.New tools for exploring previously inaccessible areas of the Earth have also added greatly to our knowledge of the Earth system. Small deep-sea submarines allow scientists to travel to the depths of the ocean. There they have discovered new species and ecosystems thriving near deep-sea vents that emit heat, sasses, and mineral-rich water.Just as important as new methods of measurement and exploration are new ways to store and analyze data about the Earth system. Computer-based software programs known as geographicinformation systems, or GIS, allow a large number of data points to be stored along with their locations. These can be used to produce maps and to compare different sets of information gathered at different times. For example, satellite remote sensing images of a forest can be converted to represent stages in the forest's growth. Two such images, made at different times can be overlaid and compared, and the changes that have taken place can be represented in a new image.74. The word "facilitate" in line 5 is closest in meaning to ________.A. enableB. requireC. organizeD. examine75. The author of the passage mentions that satellite observations are especially effective in ________.A. conducting scientific studies of life on the ocean floorB. predicting future climate changesC. providing data to determine Earth's ageD. demonstrating interactions among all of Earth's parts76. According to the passage, satellite observations of the Arabian Desert allow archaeologists to discern ________.A. indications of ancient routesB. evidence of former lakesC. traces of early farmsD. remains of ancient forests77. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Special techniques are needed to classify the huge amounts of data about Earth.B. New tools provide information about Earth that was once impossible to obtain.C. Advances in Earth system science have resolved many environmental problems.D. Satellite remote sensing can show changes between two images taken years apart.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For a glimpse of an evolving technology that promises to shake video gaming to its foundation, check out "Throw Trucks With Your Mind."Unlike most video games, it doesn't rely solely on a mouse or joystick. Instead, its players also don a headset that enables them to hurl trucks or other virtual objects simply by thinking.And that's just for starters. Advocates of so-called neurogaming(交感神经游戏) say the concept in a few years will incorporate a wide array of physiological factors, from a player's heart rate and hand gestures to pupil dilation and emotions. Moreover, they envision many such games being developed to improve the health, brainpower and skills of those playing them.The electroencephalography（脑电波仪）, or EEG, headset used to toss trucks and other objects onto adversaries was made by San Jose, Calif.-based NeuroSky. It measures separatebrainwave frequencies that reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are, according to Lat Ware of Emeryville, Calif., who developed the game and is the founder of Crooked Tree Studios. The game, which can be purchased at , costs $25, or $99 with the headset.Ware, 29, said it's possible to move a pear or other small virtual object if the player is calm, but not focused, or vice versa. But he said both mental states are essential to flatten a foe with a hurled monster truck, which takes considerable concentration.Although only a few neurogames have been introduced so far and their action tends to be fairly limited, the games are expected to become far more challenging - and multipurpose - as the software and related technology improves.One concept being explored is to develop games that adjust their action according to the player's changing emotions, as measured by such factors as their facial expressions, eye movement and skin-conductance（皮肤导电）levels. Another approach is to make games that influence how the player thinks and feels.Consider Los Angeles-based Melon, which, like "Throw Trucks With Your Mind," was recently launched via the online fundraising site Kickstarter. Melon officials say their first game - which challenges players to fold origami（折纸）with their mind, using NeuroSky's EEG headset - helps people "learn how to focus, relax and meditate better."（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS.）78.

Each word can only beplayers are wearing . Gone, for the most part, are the ankle-hugging high-tops that supposedly ____41____ to protect players from injury.The change over the last few years to low-top sneakers(运动鞋) seems to go against conventional wisdom. Strangely, __42___, Steven Nash and Kobe Bryant, two of the most __43__ players with the Los Angeles Lakers, aren’t worried.According to the US market-research firm NPD Group, high-tops once ___44__ for about 20 percent of the US basketball shoe market. Now, the number has sunk to about 8 percent. Low-tops, the kind that Nash and Bryant wear, have grown to 29 percent, from just 11 percent in 2002.High-top sneakers are one of the most celebrated __45___ in modern basketball.

They put air pumps in the tongues of their shoes and made carefully prepared and organized __46__.“All of a sudden it became a __47__ business,” Marshal Cohen, an analyst with NPD group, told The Wall Street Journal. The Jordans were excellent. The market went from being nothing to a million-dollar business __48___.”One of the reasons high-tops are not so __49__ anymore is that they were never really very good at protecting the feet.In an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2008, University of Newcastle researcher Craig Richards found no evidence that sneakers__50__ injuries. His research actually found that high-top basketball sneakers could even cause players to run slower and jump lower. Now, the contest has become a war. Companies like Adidas, Nike, Converse and Reebok are all fighting to create the next “Air Jordan,” and with the next market battle.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Are you a graduate trying to plan out the best career path for yourself?

Those who made the second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of __55__ ability level, but they had something which made them a __56___ match to the selector’s ideal. That could be experience gained through projects or vacation work, or it might be that they were better at communicating what they could offer. Do not take the comments at __57__ value: think back to the interviews that generated them and make a list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies. With this sort of analytical approach you will eventually get your foot in the door.Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call. Stay too long and future employers may question your ___58__ and ambition. Of course, it depends on where you are aiming. If you are a graduate, spending five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage of the __59__.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A).Iceland, an island just south of the Arctic Circle, has fairly mild winters, thanks to warm ocean currents. Time your vacation here during the winter months to take advantage of off-season deals.Off-season means good deals on flights, hotels and tours. You may also find that the locals are a bit friendlier and more welcoming when tourists aren’t arriving in crowds.In the winter months, there are less than seven hours of daylight; thus, chances are good you’ll catch sight of the northern lights. Sunsets are also beautiful at this time, making for some great photo opportunities.In Iceland, winter is the perfect time to hike glaciers, go ice climbing, explore caves made out of hardened lava(岩浆) and much more. One of the most popular activities is off-roading(越野比赛) in a specially-equipped “super jeep”.Before booking your trip, be sure to check for volcano alerts. There are about 130 volcanoes on or around Iceland. Thirty-five of them are active. In 2010, a volcano named Eyjaallajokull exploded, sending clouds of ash up to four kilometers into the atmosphere. The ash drifted toward the UK and Europe. Because the ask could damage aircraft engines, airlines operating in the region were forced to cancel flights for six days. As a result, thousands of people were stuck in airports.Recently, another volcano named Bardarbunga has become active, erupting ash into the air. Such events, if large enough, could prevent your trip from going ahead. So check the latestvolcano news prior to making your reservations.66. According to this article, why are you more likely to see the northern lights in the winter?A. They move from rural areas to cities.B. The weather is more stable at that time.C. They’re a special feature of many festivals.D. The sky is dark for longer periods then.67. According to the article, how do visitors to Iceland have fun in the winter?A. They learn how to ski down the mountains.B. They photograph famous historic sites..C. They explore the countryside in well made vehicles..D. They spend a week at one of the seaside resorts.68. What is true about the volcanoes of Iceland?A. The majority of them are quiet.B. Their age hasn’t been determined.C. All but one of them are extinct.D. Citizens aren’t affected by them.69.What does this article explain?.A. Some of Iceland’s urban cultural attractionsB. A way t reduce the cost of a trip to Iceland.C. Reasons for visiting Iceland in June and July.D. The average price for a short tour of Iceland.(B).practices. This is one way to reflect your practices and how much you got out of it.Keep one copy and give one to your tutor(s0.HOW OFTEN:0=never 1=rarely 2=sometimes (1-2x/ week)A. Professional tutors.B.

Mr. Kent bears EXTENTION OF LEARNING idea in mind, he quite often tends to _______.A. always set groups to encourage students to work out something by putting heads togetherB. prepare grade-level materials for teachingC. develop students reading skills during pre- while-and- post-reading stageD. provide students with extra learning materials to further their study73. Mrs. Grace likes to share her version of tasks outcome in class, which could be labeled _____.A. ASSESSMENT OF LEARNINGB. KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTIONC. DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIESD. SELF-SELECTION(C)A rapidly advancing contemporary science that is highly dependent on new tools is Earth system science. Earth system science involves observation and measurements on the Earth at all scales from the largest to the smallest. The huge amounts of data that are gathered come from many different locations and require special techniques for handling data. Important new tools that facilitate Earth system science include satellite remote sensing, small deep-sea submarines, and geographic information systems.More than any other way of gathering evidence, satellite observations continually remind us that each part of the Earth interacts with and is dependent on all other parts.Earth system science was born from the realization of that interdependence. Satellite remote sensing makes possible observations at large scales, and in many cases, measurements of factors that could not otherwise be measured. For example, the ozone hole over Antarctica--the decrease in the concentration of ozone high in the atmosphere--is measured by remote sensing, as are changes in deserts, forests, and farmlands around the world. Such measurements can be used in many areas of specialization besides Earth system science. Archaeology, for example, has benefited from satellite observations that reveal the traces of ancient trade routes across the Arabian Desert.New tools for exploring previously inaccessible areas of the Earth have also added greatly to our knowledge of the Earth system. Small deep-sea submarines allow scientists to travel to the depths of the ocean. There they have discovered new species and ecosystems thriving neardeep-sea vents that emit heat, sasses, and mineral-rich water.Just as important as new methods of measurement and exploration are new ways to store and analyze data about the Earth system. Computer-based software programs known as geographic information systems, or GIS, allow a large number of data points to be stored along with their locations. These can be used to produce maps and to compare different sets of information gathered at different times. For example, satellite remote sensing images of a forest can be converted to represent stages in the forest's growth. Two such images, made at different times can be overlaid and compared, and the changes that have taken place can be represented in a new image.74. The word "facilitate" in Paragraph I is closest in meaning to ________.A. enableB. requireC. organizeD. examine75. The author of the passage mentions that satellite observations are especially effective in________.A. conducting scientific studies of life on the ocean floorB. predicting future climate changesC. providing data to determine Earth's ageD. demonstrating interactions among all of Earth's parts76. According to the passage, satellite observations of the Arabian Desert allow archaeologists to know ________.A). indications of ancient routes B. evidence of former lakesC. traces of early farmsD. remains of ancient forests77.What is the main idea of the passage?A. special techniques are needed to classify the huge amounts of data about Earth.B. New tools provide information about Earth that was once impossible to obtain.C. Advances in Earth system science have resolved many environmental problems.D. Satellite remote sensing can show changes between two images taken years apart.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For a sight of an evolving technology that promises to shake video gaming to its foundation, check out “Throw Trucks With Your Mind”.Unlike most video games, it doesn't rely solely on a mouse. Instead, its players also put on a headset that enables them to throw trucks or other virtual objects simply by thinking.And that's just for starters. Advocates of so-called neurogaming（交感神经游戏）say the concept in a few years will combine a wide variety of physiological factors, from a player's heart rate and hand gestures to pupil dilation(瞳孔扩张) and emotions. Moreover, they imagine many such games being developed to improve the health, brainpower and skills of those playing them.The electroencephalography(脑电波仪), or EEG, headset used to throw trucks and other objects onto enemies was made by San Jose, California.-based NeuroSky. It measures separate brainwave frequencies that reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are, according to Lat Ware of Emeryville, California., who developed the game. The game, which can be purchased at , costs $25, or $99 with the headset.Ware, 29, said it's possible to move a pear or other small virtual object if the player is calm, but not focused, or vice versa. But he said both mental states are essential to flatten an enemywith a huge truck, which takes considerable concentration.Although only a few neurogames have been introduced so far and their action tends to be fairly limited, the games are expected to become far more challenging - and multipurpose - as the software and related technology improves.One concept being explored is to develop games that adjust their action according to the player's changing emotions. These are measured by such factors as their facial expressions, eye movement and skin-conductance(皮肤导电) levels. Another approach is to make games that influence how the player thinks and feels.Consider Los Angeles-based Melon, which, like "Throw Trucks With Your Mind," was recently launched via the online fundraising site Kickstarter. Melon officials say their first game-- which challenges players to fold origami（折纸）with their mind, using NeuroSky's EEG headset -- helps people "learn how to focus, relax and meditate better."78. According to this article, what is the purpose of developing the new kind of games?79. The function of brainwave frequencies measured by EEG made by San Jose is to _________.80. According to Ware, if you want to throw something such as a truck, you must be __________.81.What is the new idea being studied to develop more challenging and multipurpose games?
