Spotlights are focused on the curtains which are drawn slowly apart, often in the 61 of music, to reveal title of the film. Every detail has been designed so thoughtfully that the spectator will never actually see the 62 screen, which will remind him all too sharply that what he is about to see is nothing but different shadows flashing on the white ,However much the cinema tries to 63 theatre ,it fully succeeds .Nothing can 64 the awe and sense of expectation felt by the audience as the curtain is slowly raised.A.disappearB.collapseC.freezeD.riseA.translatedB.respondedC.inventedD.appliedA.specialB.inferiorC.standardD.looseA.uniqueB.memorableC.painfulD.normalA.positiveB.personalC.flexibleD.heatedA.temporarilyB.carefullyC.readilyD.traditionallyA.luxuryB.expenseC.conviniencermartionA.proveB.buyC.investigateD.conveyA.explosionB.promotionC.shiftD.spreadA.walls of earsB.seeing is believingC.word of mouthD.grave of teethA.drives outB.wears outC.pays offD.dies awaypanyB.introductionC.benefitD.endA.decoratedB.distinctC.blankD.mechanicalA.imitateB.guideC.exploitD.replaceA.refer topare withC.suffer fromD.persist inSection BDirections: read the following three passages. Each passages is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked with A, B, C and D. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Matterhorn of Switzerland had been climbed hundreds of times since it was first conquered by Edward Whymper in 1865. He, and the many that followed him over the years, had scaled the mountain by the relatively easy southern approach. The vertical(垂直的）northern face presented a much more frightening challenge .Although some climbers had scaled the north wall, their attempts were made in summer. Experts had predicted that it was unimaginable to make the climb in the winter.Water Bonatti announced that he was going to attempt a winter climb of the near-vertical ice-covered northern face in the February. What was shocking was that he intended to use the more direct route from base to peak without any of the passes made by his pioneers .It seemed a suicidal bid.Covered in a yellow wind-breaker, Bonatti gathered his skills, nerves, strengths and vigor against the northface. Slowly ad carefully ,his strong but cold-stoned fingers searched for hand-holds. One false move and he would plunge straight down thousands of feet to his death.The higher he went, the more the wind increased its force, striking him with icy power, threatening to dash him onto the rocks below. After two tough days, he reached 12,800 feet.At night,he napped in a hammock(吊床）between two stell sticks hammered in the rock face.At first light, he continued ever upward ,without a thought of turning back. The cruel, sub-zero temperature cracked his goggles(护目镜）and he struggled half-blinded.Often his hands which were bleeding, failed to settle on an opening and he had to make attempts with his instinct. His tiring body was in pain but still climbed up towards the peak.At dawn on the fourth day, he was on the edge of complete exhaustion ,but with victory in sight, he prepared himself for the critical trek . Just after three in the afternoon, excited spectators in the helicopters saw Bonatti suddenly appear crawling over the shining tip of the mountain. He had achieved the impossible and won the world acclaim.65. Why was Bonatti's attempt regarded as an impossible task?A. Because no one had climbed the mountain since the last conquest by Whymper.B. Because the mountain presents the biggest challenge in the world.C. Because no one had reached the peak from the north in cold weather.D. Because the Swiss government forbade people to climb the mountain in severe weather.66. How did he manege to climb up?A. He used the wind-breaker to locate holes on the north face and climbed up.B. He made his hands fish for openings and relied on them to climb.C. He took advantage of steel hammer to climb up the mountain.D. He borrowed the force from the ice to help him rise.67.The underlined word trek in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to _____.A. adequate restB. timely communicationC. difficult journeyD. bad weather condition68.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Bonatti used to scale the mountain by the south approach.B. The negative influence from the wind decreased as he climbed up.C. Bonatti's success was witnessed by people in the air.D. Bonatti managed to climb the mountain in two days.(B)Our program is presenting to you the world's top wildest masters of the deceiving!CuttlefishFew animals use camouflage(伪装）as well as the cuttlefish. While other animalsmix into an environment that already resembles their appearance, cuttlefish cantransform its entire body in a matter of seconds to copy the surroundings. Fromchanging their colors, patterns, and textures to altering their shapes ,these creaturesare the ocean's true masters of disguise. Its purpose? Of course to satisfy its stomach,FrogfishPart frog , part fish in its appearance, the frogfish--a type of anglerfish--is neither thefastest swimmer nor the most fierce. So when it comes to hunting, the frogfish waitsfor prey(猎物）to come to it. The frogfish disappears among the weeds and grass,waving the fin as grass. Once a hungry tiny fish swims over, thinking it has foundfood ,the frog fish swallows the unsuspecting victim in one big gulp.StoatIt's hard not to stare at a stoat dancing and hopping around in an open field. But whileit seems like pure entertainment for the unsuspecting prey, the stoat isn't just pullingup a move to show off. The creature is actually hypnotizing(催眠) its next meal sothat it can attack at the perfect moment.LyrebirdSongbirds are expert at borrowing the songs of other birds. But the lyrebird takes it toa whole new level when trying to attract a potential mate. He goes beyond justcopying other birds and repeating the sounds of different animals. More impressively, the lyrebird can also copy sounds like chainsaws buzzing,car alarms blaring, andeven camera shutters clicking.69.The cuttlefish are different from other deceiving animals in that_______A. it means no harm while other intend to hunt by deceiving.B. it changes its features in appearance to match the environment.C. it manages to mix with the environment faster than other animals.D. it uses certain matter to copy the environment if necessary.70.In deceiving, the frogfish and the stoat are using the similar trick that______A. they sometimes disappear and sometimes appear to deceive.B. they both hunt in similar living environments.C. they make certain body movements before hunting.D. they hunt the same creature for food.71.One unique deceiving purpose different from those of other creatures is to______A. become the master of disguise.B. meet the need of the stomach.C. seek food for survival.D. find a possible mating partner.（C）In Britain, the English middle classes had and have no limits: they were and are the recruiting（招募的）ground of talent. Professor Burn used to compared the social and economic structure of Britain to the movie stars:some are higher than others, but all are moving slowly up and there is always room above for the able to improve their positions of responsibility and influence.While it has always been possible to enter the middle class, it is also possible to rise out of them. The moment a man rises into them, influences are at work to civilize and fit him to new purposes-for service to the community as a whole. A new middle-class man who wants social recognition is almost forced to “do good”. Therefore he usually does it with his tongue in the cheek. His children, who were born into middle-class family, “do good” because they think it is the right thing for the society, necessary to the character of a gentleman. In moral sense, they exceed their father who turned middle-class halfway.The British middle class are what they are today, not of property but of character; not of what they want but of what they want to be. The negative elements about “middle class” are always there. But fortunately something else is also there, firmly fighting against the ill forces of the society though with varying success.“What shall we do to be received? The middle classes have cried, and in every generation the reply has come-from above and below-“Learn to behave like gentlemen.”72.The social structure is stable because_____.A.there are no barriers strictly separating the classes.B.economic ability simply decides a person's social class.C.the lower classes quickly learn the standards of the upper classes .D.the higher classes enjoy the force to select people to enter their classes.73. The underlined phrase with his tongue in the chee k is closest in meaning to_____.A. forcefullyB. pretendedlyC. sincerelyD. silently74. The principle to behave like a gentleman has______A. been followed by the upper and lower classesB. been destroyed by the ill forces in society.C. enabled middle class people to climb to higher classes.D. helped the middle class to keep moral.75. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage？A. Lucky people from lower classes randomly climb into higher classes.B. New middle-class men are forced to learn the history of British civilization.C. New middle-class have made complete success in defeating ill forces in society.Section CDirection：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.Reasons for SWS quick reaction and economic advantage.B. Concerns about the SWS alerting systemC. Opposite stands of the two earthquake warning systems.D. Working principle of CISN and the possible obstacle.E. Official attitudes towards the two alerting systems.F. The effect of CISN and its troubling system.76. _________________Two different approaches to alerting the public about the earthquakes are competing for the states’ support,with one, CISN,based on a network of government-operated sensors ,and the other,SWS,built around a private company’s equipment. IN a move that mad shed some light for policy makers,the authority has pulled together representatives from both approaches to make recommendations on how to implement an earthquake early warning system. Then again, their distinct views may prove impossible to come to terms.77. _________________The idea behind an earthquake early warning system is to take advantage of the time lag between a quake's initial, relatively mild shockwaves and the later ones that cause all the damage.CISN can detect the first waves a few seconds or more before the severe shaking begins.The challenge ,though,is to determine from the first waves whether it'sreally an earthquake and not a big truck rolling by,and how intense the shaking may be.78. _________________The March 11 quake in Riverside County gave the CISN team the chance to demonstrate the capabilities of its system,which is still in its formative stages.It alerted local government 30 seconds before a stronger wave of the quake,which measured a moderate 4.7magnitude.By the time the warning went out,however,those waves had already been developing for 12 seconds,extending about 25 miles. That's not necessarily a problem for earthquakes that start in a remote stretch of the high desert .But a delay that long for a quake in busy areas would leave millions of people in the warning-free "blind zone".79_________________SWS has a collection of sensors in the Coachella Valley, not far from where the March 11 quake struck.The company claimed its alerts went out before the more damaging waves had even hit the surface. Its first stations received an alert three to five seconds ahead of the shaking.The company's speed advantage comes from its ability to use two sensors at a single site to calculate a quack's intensity and to make a warning,rather than having ti pool data from sensors at multiple sites. It also says that it can participate in a statewide warning system that would cost far less than what the CISN's backers have advised.80. _________________So what's more to think about SWS proposal ? It's said that the government is trying to get some independent proof of the company's claims about its technology.And there are also some worries from the public about granting the essential function of public alert to a private company.People can only imagine the security matters involved.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully .Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words."In Scotland illness treatment is considered urgent; in Canada, it's considered inevitable. However in America,it is resource-consuming." Though the remarks seem like jokes,real data support the point. Medicare statistics, for example, reveal that we Americans lead the world in the amount of medical services used during the last six months of a person's life.Senior citizens here are big consumers of healthcare ,using ambulances three times as often as seniors mercial insurance data point to similar patterns in the healthcare of the younger population too, a ground few would argue against.What explains such a phenomenon? There is plenty of blame to go around.Both physicians and patients have referred to a "more is better "approach that adds cost without necessarily leading to better outcomes.In the past, doctors in fee-for -service systems have been suspected of doing too much testing to generate more income. Now new networks track doctors' treating record in the hope to discourage unnecessary testing. Patients, on the other hand ,are worried about denial of services.Doctors can find themselves caught in a bind between anxious and worrying patients and insurance networks that dismiss doctors with inefficient practice patterns.Upset factors,such as malpractice concerns and falling fees ,among which the worsening doctor-patient relationship tops the ranking list-are contributing to the nation's increasing shortage of primary-care doctors.Is there a better way to do this, without limiting a patient's choice or lowering the quality of healthcare?One solution is that we can introduce care organizations, which have the goal of improving both patients' health outcomes and the efficient use of resources. Like an HMO, this new kind of care organization involves networks of doctors, hospitals and patients. By carefully balancing care among doctors computerized medical records to identify the appropriate use of services, it encourages preventive care and measure quality.Given the obvious benefits during its pilot time, we are also encouraged to look at the program called Choosing Wisely .The program is aimed at encouraging both physicians and patients, with the help of professional model ,to carefully consider the wisdom of medical procedures. In most cases ,useless procedures are not only wasting money, but also subjecting patients to additional risk without the potential ti improve their health.(NOTE: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)mercial insurance data are mentioned in the first paragraph to show that ________.82.Patients'________attitude towards medical care caused today's overtreatment.83.What is the leading reason for lack of primary-care doctors?84.What are the two methods to fight the environment problem?第二卷（共45分）I.

When he was reporting in Rwanda, oneheartbreaking moment made a deep impression on me.

He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed m y sign in the morning? What did you write? ”The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this story.The first is: Treasure（珍惜）what you have. Someone else has less.

He had left the college 25 years before, and he had never been back. As he walked up from station, he slowly began to feel the same excitement that he had felt when he first went there as an 18-year'-01d boy. When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous. Perhaps his classmates had all been more successful than him, or at least earned more money than him.He was happy in his job as a university lecturer, but the others were probably all lawyers, accountants and bankers. Who would be there at the reunion? He wondered. He was proud that he had studied there and glad to be back, but at the same time sad that the college was no longer part of his life, sad that he couldn't bring back those days which meant so much to him.The porter gave him a key to a room in the college. He couldn't believe it. It was his' old room. As he walked through the door, he was surprised to feel a tear rolling down his cheeks. He had never thought he would feel like this. He tried to remind himself that his times there had not always been happy, that there had been problems too. It was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was.

The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spendingmore and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said.Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs.

Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick an apple, 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 by Dawson’s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his fr ont porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.Amy said not to worry.

Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple.Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he isn’t generous. Actually 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.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When yousmile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood（心情）always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming（责备）yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy!
