She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to 1 me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 2 to look at each other. Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other. In 7th grade, I first lost 3 with her. She was 4 family problems and I deserted her. 5 of my new friends liked her 6 they knew she had “problems”.It was last year when I noticed the 7 . I guess I was just to catch up in high school to realize she8 someone there for her. I didn’t know9, but she started cutting herself! She was10 from clinical depression(抑郁), and had to go to a11 during the day. I was very upset at first but with the late night12, and meeting each other at midnight. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend once13 her since people were calling her crazy.Yesterday she came to me and said this:“I never knew what a best friend was14 you were the only person that would15me from cutting; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You don’t know this but I was tryingto16 myself that night you called me. You didn’t even know you were17 me. I owe you so much.”We both cried. And I guess a kind of18 from my life is:“never give up on your friends”. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are19, they need someone there.

In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent(经常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, andperfumewas often used to cover up body smells!By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (="necessary)" to good health.【小题1】 A water system for baths was built by _________ over 3,000 years ago.

The teenager with the fastest thumbs in the country was crowned on Wednesday at the LG US National Texting Championship in New York City, winning ＄50,000 after a series of fierce texting battles.16-year-old Austin Wiershke comes from Rhinelander, Wisconsin of the United States. He took home the top prize at the fifth annual texting event, beating 11 other competitors in the final, including last year’s cha mpion Brianna Hendrickson from Brooklyn, New York.Wiershke, who was wearing a gray shirt and having Justin Bieber’s hairstyle, sailed through each level of the competition by typing passages of text on a QWERTY keyboard rapidly without any mistaken. One special round even included being blindfolded(蒙眼) on the state to make up phrases by memory.“I’m extremely nervous,” Wiershke said while waiting for the results after the final round. “I’m getting ready to hear Brianna’s name. When I heard my name wasanno unced, I really couldn’t believe my ears.” After the announcement was made, confetti(五彩纸屑) dropped from the ceiling and Wiershke was met on the stage by the singer who said that she liked texting very much. She was Ashley Tisdale, a famous and beautiful singer, who awarded him his check.In August, a film on Music Television called “Thumbs” took a behind-the –scenes look at the teenager’s life. It shows how he practiced texting to be the fastest. The film followed a series of young texting competitors, including Brianna Hendrickson, in the weeks leading up to this year’s LG US National Texting Championship. Besides showing the always –connected lifestyle of these teenagers nationwide, the mover also shows the studies, sports , dreams and friendships among these competitors.【小题1】What is the main idea of this passage?A．A teenager receiver $50,000.B．Teenagers in the US make money by texting.C．A teenager was named the fastest texter in the US.D．The LG US National Texting Championship was held in New York City.【小题2】 During the special round, competitors were required totext_____________.A．among confettiB．without using their eyesC．using a special keyboardD．extremely difficult words【小题3】We can infer that Austin Wiershke_________.A．wasn’t used to using the QWERTY keyboardB．didn’t think Brianna Hendrickson would win this timeC．didn’t expect he would beat Brianna HendricksonD．was very confident when he was waiting for the result of the contest【小题4】Through the film called “Thumb”, people can know____________.

There are so many things to hear, and so many new instruments, like iPods and headphones, which can harm your hearing if used improperly. Keeping the volume(音量)to a reasonable level on an iPod or other portable listening instruments is one of the most important ways to protect your hearing. Another great way to keep your hearing protected is to avoid loud noises whenever possible. There are many loud noises from power tools to machinery, and it is important to avoid these noises as often as possible. When it is not possible to avoid them, keep your hearing protected by using earplugs(耳机).If you think your hearing may have already been damaged by modern technology, it is important to have your hearing tested by a physician. Only such a professional will be able to measure your level of hearing loss and help you find the best solution to your hearing problem.For those with hearing issues, the choices have never been greater. There are many excellent hearing aids on the market. Having a hearing aid can be a perfect choice for the young and the old alike, and many people who swore they would never wear a hearing aid find that they love the convenience and quality these instruments represent. Never let an unimportant thing like vanity(虚荣) get in the way of treating a hearing problem. These days there are hearing aids that are nearly invisible to the naked eye, including a number of models that fit completely inside the ear. If you believe you may be experiencing a problem with your hearing, it is important to have it checked out, and to take the right measures to protect your ears. In many cases, this treatment will be as simple as wearing earplugs. Taking care of your ears is of great importance. After all, you only get one set of ears.【小题1】The second paragraph mainly talks about_____.A．the causes of hearing lossB．the importance of hearingC．how to cure hearing problemsD．how to protect your hearing【小题2】The underlined phrase “under assault” in Paragraph 2 most probably means_____.A．under considerationB．under protectionC．under attackD．under treatment【小题3】All the following factors may cause hearing problems EXCEPT_____. A．using iPods improperlyB．listening to MP3 at full volumeC．standing near machinery making a loud noiseD．using earplugs when there are loud noises13.If you forget ______ your watch, it is likely to stop soon.A．to wind upB．to wind offC．winding upD．winding off14.China’s Tianhe-1 has a computing speed of 2,507 trillion（万亿）calculations a second, making it the fastest computer in the world. It is also 40 percent faster than the world’s second fastest supercomputer, Cray XT5 Jaguar, in the US, kept at a national laboratory in Tennessee, according to the New York Times. Jack Dongarra, a University of Tennessee computer scientist, told NYT that the Chinese supercomputer is faster than the existing Number One machine.Building the fastest supercomputer has become a source of national pride, as these machines are valued for their ability to solve problems in areas like defense, energy and science. These problems are related to national interests. Supercomputing technology is also found in business. Oil and gas companies use supercomputers to find oil and gas. Obviously, research centers with large supercomputers attract top scientific talents. This adds extra importance to the machines—they’re more than just huge computers. China’s new supercomputer will be used to speed up greatly scientific calculations, such as hurricane and tsunami modeling, cancer research, car design and even studying stars.In 2008, two US scientists put together a step-by-step guide on how to build a supercomputer using PlayStation 3 video-game consoles（控制台）. Modern supercomputers are built by combining thousands of small computerservers（服务器）and using software to turn them into one large computer. Really, any organization with enough material and technology can create a fast machine.The Chinese system follows that model by linking thousands upon thousands of computer servers. But the secret behind the system—and the technological achievement—is Chi na’s own networking technology. “That technology was built by them,” Dongarra said. “They are taking supercomputing very seriously and using a lot of time and money.”“China is still a developing country,” said Sha Chaoqun, manager at Dawning Company which is the leading supercomputer maker in China. “Maybe one day, China’s total computing power can be greater than that of the US, but there is still a long way to go before we get there.”Paragraph outlineSupporting detailsChina has developed the world’s fastestsupercomputer.◇Tianhe-1 has a high computing speed, which 【小题1】_______ it the fastest computer in the world.◇Tianhe-1 is 40 percent faster than the 【小题2】______ fastest supercomputer in the world.◇【小题3】_____ Jack Dongarra, we learn that the Chinese supercomputer is faster than the existing Number One machine.Many countries see the fastest supercomputer as a source of national【小题4】______ and are making efforts to develop it.◇The high-speed computer is 【小题5】________ to solve problems related to national interests.◇Besides 【小题6】______, supercomputing technology can also be found in areas of defense, energy and science.◇It’s obvious that top scientific talents are 【小题7】______ to research centers with large supercomputers.The secret behind supercomputers is networking technology.◇By using the technology built by Chinese people, taking it 【小题8】_______ and devoting lots of time and money, China has achieved a lot.Mr. Sha showed a conservative（保守的）【小题9】_______ toward the development ofcomputing power.◇【小题10】_________ the greater computing power China may have in the future, there is still a long way to go.15._______ caused the accident is still a complete mystery.A．WhatB．ThatC．HowD．Where16.Whitney Houston’s sudden death suggests that drug abuse is such a serious problem ___we should deal with properly.A．asB．thatC．whichD．where17.---Anna, you look so tired and wet all over!---Well, you know, all morning I _______ my books to my new office on the third floor.A．am movingB．have movedC．had movedD．have been moving18.目前，许多学校存在部分学生抄袭作业现象。

Here are four great ones, which will surely give you a special experience.Angel FallsWith a drop length of uninterrupted 807m from a mysterious mountain deep in a Venezuelan rainforest, it is widely recognized as the tallest permanent waterfall in the world. No doubt about it, there’s nothing like this waterfall and the adventure to even get to this so-called Lost World for a chance to see this world wonder is sure to leave you with a lasting impression.Victoria FallsIt is the largest singular waterfall in the world with a width of 1.7km, a height of 108m, and an average flow of 1 million liters(公升) per second! It’s no wonder this “smoke that thunders” is considered as one of the natural wonders of the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Indeed, its power and beauty will make you humble awestruck(敬畏的).Plitvice FallsWhen it comes to the ov erall waterfalling experience, it’s hard to beat this world famous attraction. This one is really a network of countless waterfalls. The waterfalls themselves separate many clear and colourful lakes that bring life to this protected ecosystem. Plus, you have boardwalks that take you under, over, and around almost all of the notable waterfalls for some of the closest waterfalling experiences.Iguazu FallsWith the edge spanning(横跨) a distance of an incredible 2km, in its average flow of 1.3 million liters per second, the falls actually consist of some 275 individual waterfallsand cascades(小瀑布). Catwalks make it easy to get close-up views and the rainforest surroundings make the scenery feel right for a natural attraction such as this. On November 11, 2011, Iguazu Falls was announced as one of the seven winners of the New Seven Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation.36.Which of the following falls is called Lost World?A. Plitvice FallsB. Iguazu FallsC. Angel FallsD. Victoria Falls37. What can we learn about the Victoria Falls?A.It is made up of countless small waterfalls.B.It is characterized by its smoke that thunders.C.It is one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature.D.Its power makes people feel afraid of getting close to it.38.What is text mainly about?A.Advice on visiting waterfalls.B.The New Seven Wonders of Nature.C. The location of the greatest waterfalls.D. A brief introduction to four great waterfalls in the world.BWhen it comes to building a comfortable home, Jim Higgins has his own ideas. The retired transport manager has one of the most special houses in Brit ain, because it is built around a real railway carriage. The small house in Ashton, Cornwall, is a fully functioning home, but, bizarrely(怪诞地), has a fully restored 130-year-old Great Western Railway car within its walls.Mr. Higgins, 64, took over the property from his father-in-law, Charles Allen. Mr. Higgins said:”The railway carriage was lived in by a local woman, Elizabeth Richards, from 1930. It was known as Lizzie’s Place until she died in 1966. It then stood empty for a number of years until my father-in-law came down looking for somewhere to retire. He was a master carpenter(木工) and was looking for planning permission to build a retirement home. He came down from Middlesex and fell in love with the spot where the railway carriage was.But Mr. Higgins said when his father-in-law applied for planning permission to build a hous e he was told the railway carriage had been there so long that it had “grandfather rights”. So he decided to build around it. He actually built the house with a kitchen and a lounge(起居室) but the bedrooms are in the railway carriage.Mr. Higgins says that he has been working on the carriage restoration(修补) project. “It has taken a huge effort to make it as authentic as possible. Getting the right specifications(规格) was very hard. There’s not a lot of information about the carriages----it would be different if it was one of the engines. For instance, getting the right color paint is a big task. It isn’t something that is available in shops.” Mr. Higgins adds that he is considering opening it up to the public once it is fully restored.39.Which of the following about the house is NOT true?A.Its kitchen and lounge are in the railway carriage.B. A local wom an once lived in the carriage.C.The railway carriage has a long history.D.It was difficult to get its walls painted in the right color.40.What does the underlined wor d, “authentic”, in the last paragraph, mean?A.Official.B. Original.fortable. D. Popular.41.What does Mr. Higgins mean by saying “it would be different if it was one of theengines”?A.The engines are different from the carriages.B.Mr. Higgins prefers restoring engines to carriages.C.It is difficult to get information about the carriages.D.Painting engines is different from painting carriages.42.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Is This the Strangest Home in Britain?B.Can This Railway Carriage Last Any Longer?C.The Historical Influence of a Railway CarriageD.The Story of Mr. HigginsCImagine this situation. You pass a group of people. The people are talking to each other. You cannot hear what they are saying. But suddenly they start laughing. What would you think? Would you think they were laughing at you?Being laughed at is a common fear. But a major study found that this fear is not the same around the world. It differs from culture to culture.People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Less than ten percent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty percent of people in Thailand.Some people in the study said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations, but hid their feeling of insecurity. Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before.The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group. They would hide their feeling of insecurity if they were around other people who were laughing. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at before.Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them. But some people worry much more than others. They may have a disorder called gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word. It means laughter. Phobia means fear. This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it. It can affect how they lead their lives.In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than 90 researchers from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another purpose of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures. The researchers surveyed more than 22,000 thousand people in 42 different languages. The findings appeared in the scientific journal, Humor.43.Which people are least likely to fear being laughed at?A.Finns.B. Thais.C. Cambodians.D. Iraqis.44.What would NOT be a reaction of shy people when people laugh behind their back?A.Fearing being in close contact with people.B.Avoiding situations in which people may laugh at them.C.Worrying that people laugh at them for what they say or do.D.Believing people are not making fun of them.45.How is the text mainly developed?A.By presenting the reasons.B.By following the order of time.C.By providing examples.D.By following the order of importance.46.Which is the best title for the text?A.How to Avoid Being Laughed atB.Is the Fear of Being Laughed a serious problemC.Worried That People Are Laughing at YouD.How People React When Being Laughed in Different Cu ltures.DRecently, NASA announced it would establish a lunar base at one of the lunar poles. The first astronauts back to the Moon will land some time before 2020 for brief stays. By 2024, according to the plan, four people will live and work on the Moon permanently.The first community on the Moon will be a small one, but it has the potential to grow into something much larger. The growth is paced by two factors. The first is the ability to transport people to and from the Moon. At present, commercial space travel is in its early stages. But in fifteen to twenty years, space lines could be competing for flights to the Moon, driving down costs and raising capability.The second factor is __________, More power generation can be added, probably with a nuclear power plant to add to the solar power system. More oxygen and other materials can be mined. A lunar greenhouse can be added to provide food. More habitation(居住) modules can be built.The lunar base would become a center of science and commerce(商业). The science would include everything from exploring the rest of the Moon, to understanding its geology(地质学), to building and servicing telescopes on the far side of the Moon. Commerce could consist of mining useful material such as helium 3. Lunar based solar power station could send power to the Earth or space-based factories. Eventually, a tour ist resort might be built on the Moon, where ht grandchildren of those who watched the first Apollo moon landing could actually visit the place that the two generations before were unable to know.At some point, if growth continues, the lunar base could become a lunar town. Even tually, some people will choose to live out their lives on the Moon. The age of humankind being confined to just one planet will have ended.47.Which of the following can best fit in the blank in the third paragraph?A.the limitation of population living permanently on the Moon.B.the lack of resources at the lunar poles that can help sustain human explores.C.the ability of the base to support people once they have arrived on the Moon.D.the ability of human explorers to build habitation modules on the Moon.48.What is stressed in the fourth paragraph?A.The lunar base is convenient for scientific research.B.The lunar bade may become a commerce centre.C.People in the future will live permanently on the Moon.D.The lunar base will have a bright future.49.What does the underlined word, “confined”, in the last paragraph, probab ly mean?A. LandedB. limitedC. ControlledD. Contributed50. What is the author’s attitude towards building the lunar base?A. ApprovingB. QuestioningC. DisapprovingD. UnknownENew research has found that obesity(肥胖) is linked to many health problems, along with a child’s social skills. And based on a recent study obesity also affects a child’s performance in maths.Researchers from the University of Missouri analyzed data on more than 6,000 childrenin the Early Childhood Logitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort, which collected information from children starting in kindergarten and following them through to the fifth grade. At five different times, parents reported information on their families and teachers reported on the children’s social skills and emotional well-being. Researchers tested the children on their academic performance and recorded their height and weight.Children who were obese throughout the study period performed worse in maths tests in the first through to fifth grades than children who were not obese. For boys whose obesity began later, such as in third or fifth grade, no difference was found in the performance in maths tests. For girls who were found to become obese later on, the low performance in maths was short-term.“Obesity that persists(持续) across the elementary school years has the potential to harm several areas of children’s development, including their social and emotional well-being and academic performance,” said Sara Gable, lead author of the study. In addition to the maths performance findings, obese children were likely to feel sadder, lonelier and more anxious than children who had healthier weight. Researchers said this emotional well-being could also contribute to their poorer performance in maths.While weight might contribute to poor school performance, there were probably several other factors that also contributed to an obese child’s overall well-being, experts said. “Obesity does not prevent children from doing maths, but obesity develops in families where there may be less oversight, less education, fewer resources,” said Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale Prevention Center.While a link between obesity and poor school performance had been established in the past, this study analyzed the connection between the timing of the onset of obesity and factors including weight, behavior, relationships and academic performance. The research looked to fill in the blank space that connected the weight dot to the academic performance dot, said Katz.51. The passage is mainly about_________.A. the bad effects of obesity on childrenB. the importance of learning maths for childrenC. obese children’s performance in schoolD. the influence of family environment on children’s obesity52. It can be learn ed from the research that_________.A. t first establishes a link between obesity and maths studiesB. the scientists have spent five years studying children with obesityC. obesity can make children feel sad and lonelyD. obesity always prevents children from learning maths53. If a girl’s obesity begins later, _________.A. she performs poorly in maths throughout the study periodB. she performs poorly in maths for a short timeC. her performance in maths is not affectedD. she performs better in maths than obese boys54. Which of the following questions is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. In what families is obesity more likely to develop?B. How to improve children’s maths ability?C. How many times do the researchers collect data?D. What was the role of teachers during the research?55. We are most likely to find the passage in the _________ section of a newspaper.A. cultureB. healthC. educationD. entertainment四、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）56.College entrance examination is a __________ so we should study harder than before.57.Your __________ (出席) is requested at the meeting to be held tomorrow.58.My mother a_________ for me to have piano lessons at the training center every week.59.The newly-wedded couple are always __________(吵架) with each other over smallthings.60.Students must have a_________ to good books.61.If you want to turn on the light, you can press the _________ (开关) on the wall.62.Some people like to put money in the bank, while others like to c_________ it inadvance.63.Some people get ________(焦急) they are in trouble.64.An effective treatment by a group of medical experts finally c________ his seriousillness.65.To make a public speech is a thing that needs great __________ (专注力) andconfidence.五、动词填空（用所给动词的正确形式填空。
