Under a deal with the government, V olkswagen, a carmaker, has donated several new electric vehicles for use by Astypalea’s public services; it will sell others at cost price to its 1,200 year-round residents. In return, the government has offered more financial assistance for islanders to buy electric cars and will build a solar and wind-fuelled power plant to replace polluting generators.Unlike other nearby islands, Astypalea is not connected to Greece’s electricity providers. With only 3,000 rooms for visitors in small hotels or flats, tourism is still low-key. Many residents make a living the old-fashioned way: raising goats, keeping bees and fishing. The island was selected for V olkswagen’s experiment after Nikos Komineas, the go-ahead mayor, contacted the transport ministry for help in finding an electric bus to try out on its rough roads.Most islanders sound keen on the project. Mr Komineas expects the number of private cars on Astypalea to fall by a third over the next five years. Its residents, he says, will get around on electric minibuses, which will be free, linked to a mobile-phone app and available round the clock.Some observers smell green washing in the project. A bid for a solar park that would generate half the island’s electricity within three years will not get under way before the tourist season ends. A single wind-fuelled engine will be set up only in 2026, assuming the licensing process goes smoothly. That is not normally the case in the Aegean, where islanders worry that tourists will go elsewhere if the view is spoiled by an engine 200 meters high. And even then, the solar and wind-fulled power unit is planned to cover only about 80% of summer demand. But it is a start.4．Why has Volkswagen signed the deal with the government?A．To control car prices.B．To help generate electricity.C．To promote public transport.D．To build a zero-carbon island. 5．What makes Astypalea different from other nearby islands?A．It has an aggressive leader.B．It is out of the national electricity network.C．It is a crowded tourist destination.D．It has various goats, bees and fishes.6．What can be inferred from the text?A．The experiment will come to nothing.B．There are barriers in conducting the project.C．Green tourism will become a trend in Greece.D．The islanders are unwilling to change their lifestyle.7．What does the author think of the project?A．It’s pioneering.B．It’s practical.C．It’s destructive.D．It’s costly.There are some 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, each unique, using different sounds, vocabularies and structures. Charles the Great said: “To have a second language is to have a second soul.” This begs the question: Does the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.In societies such as the United States or Western Europe, self-expression and language precision are valued. Asian cultures, on the other hand, prefer an indirect form of communication. Words like “perhaps” and “maybe” are used more than “yes” or “no”. Americanism takes an informal approach to communication. Therefore, it’s OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as “you”. However, the Thai language has 12 forms of the same pronoun, choosing one depends on status. In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that our own or otherwise.People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother tongue. Take an accident. In English, it’s OK to say: “She broke the glass.” But in a language like Spanish, you’d probably go with: “The glass broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime andpunishment.Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cummins, the stronger our home language, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual gives people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our ability to “understand the mental world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is different from our own.”Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.8．Why does the author mention “Americanism” and “the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?A．To tell the cultural differences between them.B．To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.C．To stress American expressions are informal.D．To reveal a language is associated with status.9．How will English speakers’ react to an accident?A．They will seek blame.B．They will punish others.C．They will avoid responsibility.D．They will draw a lesson from it. 10．What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?A．They enjoy a more colorful life.B．They can remain mentally healthy.C．They find it easier to learn a language.D．They can gain insight into others’ minds. 11．Which one can be the best title for the text?A．How do languages differ?B．Will your language be extinct?C．Why does our mother tongue matter?D．Should we speak a second language?Look around on your next plane trip. The iPad is the new pacifier (安抚奶嘴）for babies and toddlers.School-aged children read stories on smartphones. Their parents read on Kindles or skim a long list of email and news feeds. An invisible, game-changing transformation links everyone in this picture:the neuronal circuit(神经元回路）that underlies(成为···的基础）the brain's ability to read is rapidly changing.Our important “deep reading" processes may be under threat as we move further into the new digital-based ways ofreading.We know from research that the reading circuit is not given to human beings through a genetic blueprint like' it is with vision or language; it needs an environment to develop. Further,it will adapt to that environment's requirements. If the environment advantages the reading processes that are fast, multi-task oriented(以···为方向的）and well-suited for large amounts of information,like the current digital-based reading, so will the reading circuit. As a result, less attention and time will be allocated to slower,time-demanding deep reading processes.Increasing reports from educators and researchers in psychology and the humanities bear this out. English literature scholar and teacher Mark Edmundson describes how many college students actively avoid the classic literature of the 19th and 20th centuries because they no longer have the patience to read longer, denser, more difficult texts. We should be less concerned with students' "cognitive impatience", however than by what may underlie it: the potential inability of large numbers of students to read with a level of critical analysis enough to comprehend the complexity of thought and argument found in more demanding texts.Ziming Liu from San Jose State University has conducted a series of studies which indicate that the “new norm" in reading is skimming. Many readers now use an F or Z pattern when reading in which they sample the first line and then word-spot through the rest of the text. When the reading brain skims like this, it doesn't have time to grasp complexity, to understand others' feelings, to be aware of beauty, and to create thoughts of the reader's own.Karin Littau and Andrew Piper have noted another aspect: physicality. They stress that the sense of touch in print reading adds an important part to information - a kind of“geometry(几何结构）”to words, and a kind of spatial "'thereness" for text. As Piper notes, human beings need a knowledge of where they are in time and space that allows them to return to things and learn from re-examination-what he calls the “technology of recurrence (再现）＂.The importance of recurrence for both young and older readers involves the ability to go back,to check and evaluate one's understanding of a text. The question, then, is what happens to comprehension when our youth skim on a screen whose lack of spatial thereness discourages “looking back".12．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．What affects people's neuronal circuits.B．Why deep reading is important to people.C．Why people now prefer digital reading.D．What will happen to our brain when we read.13．What does the author want to stress about the college students?A．Their lack of attentiveness.B．Their lack of reading techniques.C．Their inability to understand the complexity.D．Their ignorance of various forms of literature.14．According to Paragraph 4,the F or Z patternA．affects the way people skimB．encourages people to read moreC．becomes popular among the youthD．limits people's thinking development15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Reading physical books helps us comprehend a text better.B．Techniques should be suited for different reading materials.C．A reading space can help us be more attentive.D．It is important to use all senses to learn.The Spotlight EffectHave you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even noticed.16 We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. 17 In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. 18The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want tobe liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. 19 If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. 20 If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.A．However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.B．That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.C．Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself.D．The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.E．What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.F．We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.G．It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed.二、完形填空A Virginia third-grader has won two national awards for her exceptional skill innamed a winner in the contest’s print category.Tracy Cox, Anaya’s teacher, said Anaya is a role 29 to other students. “Anaya does not let anything stand in her 30 of reaching her goals,” said Cox. “She is determined and independent.

As a three-episode series 36 (direct) by two Chinese vloggers, it tells the journey of how a Chinese jade teapot escapes from the British Museum 37 finds its own wayback to China. Viewers were particularly moved by a scene where 38 little teapot exclaims “Such a big cabinet is shared only by two people!” upon arrival at the place of the journalist and his friend.A few days ago, the British Museum claimed to be the victim of “ 39 (culture) theft” which, if we look back to the history, is apparently 40 China has indeed suffered from. Statistics have shown that there are 41 (approximate) 23, 000 Chinese relics in the British Museum, with about 2,000 of them on long-term display. The priceless relics, 42 (include) stone tools in the Neolithic period, colorful pottery from the Yangshao culture, bronze artifacts in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, tri-colored glazed pottery of Tang and Song dynasties, and enamels, involve nearly all artistic categories.

Yesterday, I 39 so much on my ride that I missed the short route (路线) I usually take; 40 , I stayed on the long route.

Isn’t it obvious that kids these days are self-absorbed social network addicts?However, this summer, my impression of today’s kids has been re stored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity (成熟) and unselfishness —even though she’s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.At age 5, Rachel had her long hair cut off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that’s what she did.Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an organization called “charity: water”. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity: water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 — which had left her just a bit disappointed.Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel’s birthday page — /Rachel — and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life-support machine. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children. Word spread about Rachel’s last fund-raiser (募捐行动). Contributions poured in, often they donated $9. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working creatively. 【1】Which of the following is TRUE of Rachel?A．She died at the age of 8.B．She was a cancer patient.C．She was a warm-hearted girl.D．She founded Locks of Love.【2】The underlined word “skipped” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A．put off B．gave up C．expected D．planned【3】According to the text, Rachel set up the birthday page to .A．make more new friendsB．call on people to donate hairC．ask her friends to send her giftsD．raise money to help African children【4】How does the author feel about the young generation now?A．Worried B．Critical.C．Appreciative.D．Doubtful【5】What would be the best title for the text?A．Rachel’s last fund-raiserB．Rachel and her birthday pageC．Kids are addicted to social networks.D．What’s wrong with the young generation?2.The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (关键) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格内向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.【1】What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?A．Lonely.B．Exciting.C．Wild.D．Busy【2】In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us .A．how she cared what her classmates thoughtB．when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”C．why many of her classmates disliked novelsD．how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her【3】Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?A．To test whether she had a good memory.B．To make her earn the respect of her classmates.C．To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”D．To guide her to build a good relationship with others.【4】How did the author feel when she made the presentation?A．Comfortable.B．sad.C．Nervous.D．Confident.【5】What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To express her thanks to her teacher.B．To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏见).C．To introduce one of her favorite books.D．To suggest the ways to gain confidence.3.A new reading tool was put on the market this week for the two-to five-year-old set. It is sold for at least $389, an expensive purchase for a kid –and that doesn’t even include a $99 annual subscription (订阅) fee for games, e-books, and age-appropriate software.That might be fine for parents willing and able to pay thousands for private nursery schools, but will the tool actually help kids learn language and reading skills more effectively than traditional books?Probably not, said Dr. Michael Rich, direc tor of the Center for Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston. “There is a sensory components (感官因素) to books that isn’t there with e-books,” he explained. “You can smell it, turn the pages, and taste it, as young kids are likely to do.”That might help little ones become more familiar with the books, helping them learn from them, but far more important is whether a person is actually sitting with them while they’re looking at the pages.Researchers have shown time and again that kids learn bet ter when they’re having interaction (互动) with real people, rather than electronic voices reading to them from a computer or speaking to them from the TV.A Georgetown University study found that kids who learned to put on gloves from watching a video took six times as long to learn the process as those who watched it shown by an adult standing in front of them.“I’m a big believer in teaching kids to live in the digital society and use what the rest of the family uses, but they do need to be supervised,” said Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, a Boston-based children’s doctor and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “We don’t recommend that young kids use any type of technology for very long since they have the attention span (注意力持续时间) of a butterfly.”【1】According to the text, the new tool .A．is mainly used to entertain kidsB．can be accepted by most familiesC．is designed for preschool kidsD．can download games for free【2】Why is Dr. Michael Rich against the new tool?A．Because it doesn’t really involve many of the senses.B．Because it does great harm to kids’ eyesight.C．Because kids can’t communicate with it.D．Because traditional books are cheaper.【3】The study mentioned in Paragraph 6 aims to .A．show the disadvantage of kids’ watching videosB．prove the importance of interaction with peopleC．ask parents to teach their kids to learnD．prove using e-books saves much time【4】The underlined word “supervised” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “”.A．punished B．watched C．encouraged D．understood【5】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce a new electronic device.B．To teach kids how to live in a digital world.C．To show parents how to help kids gain knowledge.D．To throw new light on kids’ use of electronic tools.4.Tony Burke, Australia’s environment minister, says he won’t decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala’s population.In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that ther e was no question the koala’s population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible (符合条件) for listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像) included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus (桉树) forests of Australia. And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings’ development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointi ng, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We’ve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations,” Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland – the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm’s way.Some people say t hat is not enough. “What we’re doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts o f Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn’t done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians’ memories.【1】Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because .A．he needed more time to examine latest informationB．he doubted whether koalas’ number is decreasingC．he was thinking about ways to protect koalasD．he had more important issues to deal with【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The habitat of the koala.B．Australia’s traffic problems.C．The importance of koalas for Australians.D．Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.【3】According to the text, Debbie Pointing thinks that .A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little useB．the government should announce the koala as an endangered speciesC．the government is to blame for the decreasing koala populationD．koala are becoming less important in Australians’ hearts【4】It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke .A．decided to construct more fences along roadsB．called on Australians to take care of the koalaC．thought the government has done much for koalasD．was optimistic about the koalas’ future【5】What is the main idea of the text?A．Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B．Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C．The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D．Australians are concerned about koalas.5.[1]Why is physical education important for students? There are many reasons. First of all, this subject helps them achieve the primary goal of physical education, which is physical fitness.

The definition of assisted living from one state to another may vary and so will the cost and types of services.Assisted living centers vary in size, style and the optional services they may offer.

This may be partly because the economic situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, asthey get involved in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see.Americans in the millions are returning to their love affair with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main factors responsible for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economic worries and a large number of new movies with broad audience appeal. Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theater attendance. “When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape,” comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. “In a shaded theater, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and p eople find this beneficial.”61. What did movie makers worry about before?A. That no one would go to the cinema.B. That movies couldn’t be a business any more.C. That their movies might be played on television.D.

That more American people are watching movies than before.B. That television will take the place of movies.C. America’s economic depression.D. That Americans prefer to watch movies rather than watch TV.COn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educa ble mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again. But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatnesswithin me, sir?”He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“I want to buy my mother a house.”“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.“Mr Washington?”“What do you want now?”“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re go ing to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life. Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?”“Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?”“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?”“Yes, sir, I was.”66. What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you do es not have to becomeyour reality”?A. You needn’t have the same opinion as others.B. You should believe what other people say.C. What other people say about you may not be correct.D. The doctor made a mistake.67. How many years did it take the author to finish the tenth grade?A. Ten years.B. Eleven years.C. Twelve years.D. Thirteen years.68. What happened to the author at last?A. He entered a good university.B. He earned much honor.C. He got a good job.D. He made television programs.69.

The best title for the passage w ould be “__________”.A. Don’t believe other sB. I succeeded at lastC. My best teacherD. I am the oneD“Why should I care about the environment?” some people ask. There is a very simple reason: We live on the earth, and it is the only place we can live on right now, as we cannot live in space yet. If we treat the earth like a garbage dump, it will become dirty and unlivable. If we treat it well by being eco-conscious, the earth will stay clean and suitable for living, for ourselves and for our children.What is “being eco-conscious”?Being eco-conscious means being aware of your actions, and what you do to the environment. For example, you might think, “Using hairspray is great for fixing my hair.” However, if you are eco-conscious, you would ask, “Does this hairspray have CFCs in it? Could I be destroying the earth by using hairspray?”How can I be eco-conscious?You can find many simple ways to help the environment in your everyday life.When you go shopping, bring a bag or a basket with you. Please try not to use plastic bags as much as you can.You can go to work by bike or on foot if it is not far from your home.You can put your rubbish into different bags, which makes it convenient for recycling.You can eat less chewing gum.You can use your own chopsticks instead of the disposable ones in your company or in restaurants.You can put batteries in a special box instead of in garbage bins.You can use the water which has been used for washing vegetables or fruits to clean the floor and the toilet or to water your garden.You can turn off the decorative lights in your room when watching TV.You can turn down your air conditioner by one degree, as this will cause a 10% reduction in energy use.You can use recycled paper. Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil. You can also use recycled glass instead of glass made from raw materials. This will reduce the related air pollution by 20%, and the related water pollution by 50%.Please believe that. If you do a little, it will make a big difference.71. Human beings should care about the environment because _________ .A. if we make the earth unlivable, we’ll have to live in spaceB. it can help our children live betterC. if we don’t, the earth will become a garbage dumpD. it will help to make the world a good living place72. If your deskmate is an eco-conscious person, he should __________.A. be aware of the importance of protecting the environmentB. use plastic bags when he buys somethingC. know nothing about CFCsD. turn his air conditioner to a higher degree73. If you want to help the environment, you should do all the following EXCEPT ________.A. share a car with your colleaguesB. use paper bags instead of plastic bagsC. use hairspray containing CFCsD. use recycled glass instead of glass made from raw materials74. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. it’s very hard for human beings to keep the earth clean and comfortableB. protecting the environment is the duty of everybodyC. we should protect the environment together, as it’s no use do ing it individuallyD. it’s very easy to be eco-conscious75. According to the author, which of the following statements is WRONG?A. Being eco-conscious means you should know much about the environment.B. The more we care, the better the environment will be.C. If each of us just does a little, we can’t make any difference.D. I f we treat the earth badly, we’ll make a lot of trouble for ourselves.第四部分写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。

The over-55s use their brains more efficiently (高效率地) than younger people, as they are much more likely to get rid of mistakes. Younger people, ________, give the impression of being sharper, simply by coming up with answers more quickly. But this may be a sign of inexperience rather than wisdom.[2] According to their experiment on sorting words into pairs, scientists found surprising differences between the brains of the older and younger participants when they made a mistake. To the younger ones, the mistake immediately activated(激活) several different parts of the brain to help them decide what to do next. The older people, however, didn’t start thinking about what they were going to do until the game restarted.[3] Dr Oury Monchi said, “When the young participants made a mistake and had to plan and take a new measure to get the right answer, various parts of their brains were used even before the next task began. However, when the older participants learned that they had a mistake, they decided to make adjustments(调整) only when completely necessary. The older brain had experience and knew that nothing was gained by taking action too soon.”[4] Dr Monchi compared the results to Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare, saying, “Being able to run fast does not always win the race --you have to know how to best use your abilities.” This saying is a defining characteristic of ageing. It is as though the older brain is more unaffected to criticism and more confident than the young brain. Overall, the older group, who were aged between 55 and 75, took longer to complete the game but did roughly as well as those aged 18 to 35.【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?

Small talk means the little things we talk aboutat the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”【1】Small talk is ________.A．a kind of conversation with short wordsB．a greeting used when people meet each otherC．to let people disagree about somethingD．something we talk about to start a conversation【2】The favorite topic of small talk for English people is _________.A．the weather B．politicsC．games D．languages【3】The passage suggests that when we learn a language _________.A．we should learn about the transport system of the countryB．we should only master the grammar and the vocabularyC．we should learn the culture of the countryD．we should understand the importance of the language【4】When we say “Great game, isn’t it?”, we are in fact __________.A．asking a question B．having a conversationC．make a comment D．making small talk【5】What we learn from the passage is that _________.A．different languages have different grammarB．small talk is an important part of a languageC．small talk depends on the purpose of the conversationD．in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather2.Florence Nightingale（南丁格尔） was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so ”, she smiled. And she went to learn nur sing in Germany and France.When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home . During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.【1】When she was a child, Florence ________.A．loved to travel very muchB．knew what her duty in life wasC．loved to help the sick peopleD．want to learn music and drawing in the future【2】What made Florence make up her mind to become a nurse？A．Her father’s support.B．Her desire to help the sick.C．Her education in Germany and France.D．Her knowledge from reading great books.【3】During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where ____.A．she earned a little moneyB．work was very difficultC．few soldiers died because of her workD．she didn’t have enough food or clothes【4】 Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria？A．She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.B．She wrote a book on public health.C．She worked as a nurse all her life.D．She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.【5】The passage can best be described as ____.A．the life story of a famous womanB．a description of the nursing workC．an example of successful educationD．the history of nursing in England3.I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows（誓约）mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion（提升）, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure（空闲）, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.【1】The best title of this passage probably is _______.A．Love your friends B．Live a real lifeC．Don’t waste time D．Be a good mother and wife【2】How did the author form her view of life?A．By working and social experience.B．Learning from her friends.C．Through an unfortunate experience.D．Because of her children and husband.【3】The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as ______.A．it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life.B．it is very hard to live a real lifeC．it is so easy to make a living.D．it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life.【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards work?A．Try our best to serve others.B．To earn enough money to make life better.C．Try our best to get higher position and pay.D．Don’t let it affect your real life.【5】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A．the author is a success in personal life.B．the author didn’t try her best to work well.C．the author spent all her time caring for her children.D．the author doesn’t travel much4.In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced. “An adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general populati on,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(节制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”【1】Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?A．It’s unnecessary.B．It does no good to human health.C．It is hated by most people.D．It will always lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.【2】From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.A．a low-salt diet may be good to some patientsB．the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressureC．the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patientD．an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone【3】In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.A．people should not be afraid of taking much excessive saltB．doctors should not advise people to avoid saltC．an adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill peopleD．excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population【4】What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?A．They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.B．They should avoid salt as often as possible.C．They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.D．They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.【5】What is the main idea of the passage?A．The salt scare is not reasonable.B．The cause of hypertension is disclosed.C．The moderate use of salt is recommended.D．Salt consumption is to be avoided.四、书面表达书面表达（满分25分）进入高中以后，同学们的学习任务加重，对于参加课外活动，同学们有着两种不同的看法。

We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.We strongly demand that yo u pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.Yours sincerely【1】What does the writer feel?A．Excited B．Surprised C．Angry D．Happy【2】What does the word “deteriorated” mean?A．Changed B．Improved C．Moved D．Worsened【3】What is the main purpose of the letter?A．To ask Mr. Barton to leave the building for the peace.B．To inform Mr. Barton of the noise he made.C．To talk about what Mr. Barton did.D．To give a warning to Mr. Barton.【4】Why were the police called?A．Because Mr. Barton broke two windows.B．Because Mr. Barton made too much noise.C．Because Mr. Barton’s friends fought.D．Because Mr. Barton beat a child and an old man.【5】Which is true according to the letter?A．Mr. Barton paid no attention to the others’ unhappiness.B．Mr. Barton replied to the others’ unhappinessC．Mr. Barton always said sorry to those unhappy with him.D．Mr. Barton never apologized to the other residents.2.It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.【1】The main idea of this passage is that_____.A．large numbers of people do not need sleepB．a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleepC．everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD．people can live longer by trying not to sleep【2】The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting_____.A．to cure him of his sleeplessnessB．to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC．to find out why some old people did not need any sleepD．to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping【3】After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Herpin_____.A．needed some kind of sleepB．was too old to need any sleepC．needed no sleep at allD．often sleep in a chair【4】One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was _____.A．his mother’s injury before he was bornB．that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC．his magnificent physical conditionD．that he hadn’t got a bed【5】Herpin’s condition could be regarded as ______.A．a common one B．one that could becuredC．very healthy D．a rare one3.The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a warm smile. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.I'm eighty-seven years old.”"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked. She replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids and then retire(退休) and travel..."I knew she was joking. I was curious what might have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I was always interested in listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.“Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do……"【1】When the writer and Rose first met, they began their talk in a_______ way.A．serious B．polite C．formal D．humorous【2】Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “motivated” in the fourth paragraph?

A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the wayHIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺结核) and malaria (疟疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A．Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countriesB．What should we do in preventing and treating cancer?C．What makes the first killer in developing countries?D．Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.【2】Felicia Knaul’s ex perience in Mexico shows that .A．many Mexican women suffer from breast cancerB．there is not enough medicine for cancer thereC．many Mexican women can’t afford medical careD．patients with breast cancer are treated differently【3】From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that .A．breast cancer is a great threat to young womenB．people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancerC．breast cancer is the second killer among women in MexicoD．patients can be treated effectively in developing countries【4】Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?A．The cancer patients.B．The health experts.C．Community health workers.D．Young women.【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The number of cancer cases is decreasing.B．HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.C．Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.D．It is very expensive to treat cancer.四、其他[1] The key word is practice! Practice, practice, practice!! There is no other way. There is no magic. The way to get better at listening to English is to listen to English. That’s the not-so-good news.[2] The good news is there are many ways to listen and many things to listen to.[3] Listening to English songs can be fun. But be careful! Most ________ use the language in a special way that you don’t hear every day. You don’t want to start speaking English like a poet or songwriter. If you do listen to English songs, listen to different ones. This will help you train your ears to different voices, pronunciations and rhythms.[4] If you can, get a copy of the lyrics(歌词) so you can read them and listen to them at the same time. It is sometimes better to listen with your eyes as well as your ears—more information to help the brain.[5] Watch English DVDs. But, this time, do not use your eyes to read the subtitles (字幕). Turn off the subtitles, because movies have so many other clues about what is happening that it is better not to use the subtitles. Thisforces your ears to do the work.[6] Choose one character (人物) that interests you and pay attention to what they say and how they say it.

Located at De Schorre Provincial Recreational Park in Boom, Belgium, the festival is a one- of-a-kind experience. Visitors are surrounded by beautifully crafted stages while listening to all of their favorite DJs. It’ll be a party, and most definitely a fun time.Glastonbury (June 22--26)It may be cloudy and rainy for most of the year, but England shines bright when it’s time for Glastonbury. Not only does this festival have some of the best musicians, it also has dance performances, comedy, theatrics, and more. There’s no need to worry about being too hot because England has the best summer weather for events like this. Artists including Elton John, Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, and Wizkid are all on the lineup (阵容) this year.Outside Lands (August 11--13)With San Francisco as its backdrop (背景幕布), Outside Lands is always a popular festival. There are always some famous faces in the crowds, and in years past we have seen Vanessa Hudgens and Kim Kardashian. This year, the lineup is incredibly strong, featuring Megan Thee Stallion, Lana Del Rey, Lil Yachty, Maggie Rogers, and so many others.Mysteryland (August 25--28)This is a festival for the EDM lovers out there. The Netherlands hosts Mysteryland each year, bringing in all of the top DJs and artists from around the world. The festival is the first of its kind in the country, so it’s a unique experience for everyone involved. Bring your rave energy because this festival isn’t for just anyone.21．Which music festival begins the earliest?A．Tomorrowland.B．Mysteryland.C．Outside Lands.D．Glastonbury.22．Who will perform at two of the festivals?A．Lana Del Rey.B．Megan Thee Stallion.C．Maggie Rogers.D．Elton John. 23．What do Tomorrowland and Mysteryland have in common?A．They’re both held once a year.B．They’re both attractive to EDM lovers.C．They’re both the first of its kind in the country.D．They’re both the largest music festivals in the country.I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another — or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.24．What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?A．How the author started offering rides.B．The value of the author’s actions.C．An old lady who impressed the author.D．An accident that happened 40 years ago.25．What does the author like most about her ride offers?A．Helping people who contribute to society.B．People accepting her offer without hesitation.C．Chatting with her passengers.D．Making friends with her passengers.26．What does the author plan to do?A．Become a taxi driver after retirement.B．Continue driving people to their destinations.C．Wait to be offered a ride at a bus stop.D．Share her stories with more people.27．What message does the author want to convey?A．Elderly people need more care and support.B．It is important to find a purpose in life.C．Offering rides to strangers involves risks.D．Always believe in the goodness in people.Millions of Britons are unaware what nutrients they need for a healthy body, with a fifth believing vitamin C’s main role is to make you more intelligent.A study of 2,000 adults revealed 37% are unsure of what vitamins their families need, while 35% admit they don’t really know what different nutrients actually do. Nearly a third don’t consider vitamin C to be essential for a healthy body, with less than half aware that it helps to keep skin healthy, while 33% are unaware of the importance of vitamin D, and the same number think you could get it simply by eating organic fruit or vegetable grown in a sunny country. As a result, 45% don’t think they are getting all the vitamins and minerals they need from their diets. It also found that only half of parents are confident they know the nutrients their children should be consuming.Mikelle McCoin, Consultant Dietitian at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, said, “Humans need different vitamins and minerals for their body to continue to function healthily, but these can vary depending on your age. Children known as picky eaters may benefit from a more comprehensive vitamin supplement which includes iron and B vitamins, as these are particularly important for growth and development. And when they are at school age, brain function and immunity are the most important for parents. As they grow into teenagers, theirnutritional needs are high as they hit growth and adolescence. But even as an adult, the components of your needs can change—especially during pregnancy or as you reach middle age or old age.”The study also found less than half of those surveyed consider magnesium to be an important nutrient, with only 40 percent aware that spinach(菠菜) is a good food to consume to boost intake. And although a quarter view copper as essential, just 29% are aware part of its role is to produce red and white blood cells.28．Which is correct according to the second paragraph?A．Half of adults don’t know the importance of vitamin C．B．About one third of the adults think vitamin D is essential.C．Most parents know how to guarantee their kids’ nutritional intake.D．All adults don’t know what vitamins are necessary for their families.29．What do Mikelle McCoin’s words mean?A．Pregnant women need the most nutrients.B．Vitamin and mineral requirements are the same for all.C．People should guarantee suitable nutrients at various phases.D．Comprehensive vitamin supplements are vital for the middle age or old.30．How does the author feel about the outcome?A．Confused.B．Uncertain.C．Indifferent.D．Disappointed.31．What is the purpose of the text?A．To reveal British dietary habits.B．To introduce some study findings.C．To encourage organic food consumption.D．To show ways of boosting nutrients’intake.Every time your fingers touch your cell phone, they leave behind traces of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them. scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.A molecule is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything you’ve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what it’d touched earlier.Researchers at the University of California. San Diego (UCSD)recently analyzed such chemical leftovers onthe phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteer’s phone with a cotton swab(药棉签). The scientists also swabbed each person’s right hand.Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cell phone. The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein. a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says. “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses high-end cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.”Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says. he’s never heard of police using phone remains to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene. 32．What can we conclude about the user by analyzing the leftovers on the phone?A．Personality.B．Intelligence.C．Appearance.D．Lifestyle.33．What was the first thing needed to be done for the study?A．Comparing different chemicals.B．Hiring volunteers with cell phones.C．Building a database containing chemicals.D．Collecting the chemicals from phones.34．What’s the author’s attitude towards the application of the research finding?A．Uninterested.B．Disappointed.C．Doubtful.D．Positive.35．What should be the best title for the text?A．Fingers Leave Clues about You on Your PhoneB．Your Phone May Be Home to Various ChemicalsC．Molecules Are Used to Search for Illegal DrugsD．Cell Phones Will be Used in More FieldsHow to Feel ConnectedIt's easy to feel disconnected from what is going on around you in today's fast-paced world. 36 You can get in touch and feel connected, however, by following the tips below:Consider why you feel disconnected. Knowing what is making you feel disconnected can help you choose the best ways to address it. 37 Ask yourself these questions: Are you keeping yourself occupied with work too much? Do you rely on electronic communication instead of face to face communication? Do you lack friendships that are satisfying?Interact with people in person. Technology is a great way to stay in touch, but sometimes you need to spend time with other people in person. 38 You can also take steps to feel more connected by making small-talk with strangers who are sharing parts of your day.39Your loved ones could feel shy, so you may never know how to improve your relationship unless you ask the right questions. Asking them to open the doors can give you some insight on what you can do. Learning this information can help to strengthen your bond.Show your commitment to them. Simply showing up and being there for your loved ones says a lot about how much you value your relationships. Putting in the time shows them that you are committed and want to stay connected. 40Show appreciation. A simple “thank you” goes a very long way. Unfortunately, it is something that people who are close often take for granted. Telling someone you appreciate their time, love, and efforts can strengthen your bond and help you to become more connected.A．Ask others what they need from you.B．Sometimes you can feel isolated and distant from the ones you love.C．Be brave to express your love.D．Reach out to people to schedule a time to get together.E．Attending family events, or simply visiting someone once a week can help to strengthen your relationship and keep it strong.F．Targeting your efforts toward those issues allows you to close that distance more effectively.G．You can have a gift delivered to friends on special occasions.三、完形填空against the clock.The bell rang, and everyone 45 to the cafeteria.

Do you know anything about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky. Don’t look for old weather reports. Looking at the tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected thatlittle sunlight or rainfall would reduce the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be found out by the reading pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten years ago, you can count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying trees is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In an area of New Mexico you can find only sand — no trees or people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why?A scientist studied the pattern of the rings of dead trees that had grown there. He made up his mind that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move.In this example studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.【1】We can find out the weather of five years ago by counting the rings of a tree trunk ____.A．from the left to the rightB．from the right to the leftC．from the inside to the outsideD．from the outside to the inside【2】If the ring was far from the others, we can conclude that the weather of that year was ______.A．bad B．sunny C．favorable D．rainy【3】By studying the rings of dead trees in an area of New Mexico, the scientist found _______.A．why the people had to leaveB．where the people had to goC．what the people had to eatD．how the people left【4】The ancient people usually lived where there were plenty of trees mainly because ______.A．trees provided an exact record of weather for researchB．trees could supply them with fruit and food to live onC．trees could supply them with shadesD．trees were materials for fires and buildings【5】By giving the example of an area of New Mexico, the author tries to prove .A．trees can’t live in the area without populationB．that studying trees is important for the history of man and weather.C．what the real relation is between tree rings and the history of man and weatherD．the history of man is important for the history of trees三、阅读理解1.Do you read newspapers in modern times while we have TV and other media? The first newspaper was written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in English was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was Daily Current, which came out in March 1702.In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started Boston Newspaper, the first newspaper published daily in the American Colonies. By 1760, the colonies had had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every year.【1】The first regularly printed European newspaper was started ______.A．in Rome in 59 BC B．in Germany in 1609C．in Amsterdam in 1620 D．in England in 1621【2】The first daily English newspaper was started in _______.A．1702B．1760C．1620D．1621【3】What can we learn from the passage_______?A.

To be sure, only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. Many feel more pressure to succeed. They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.In India, 10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. Among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter (or be against) the myth that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal, a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."Most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. Britain's David Emerson, coauthor of the book The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable to (or easy to be attacked by) house breakers, to a new one with more security." The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says,". After all, I am left with that responsibility."In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don't have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the Charge made against them is unjust.【1】It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards only children is _______.A．ironic B．objective C．unfriendly D．unjust【2】It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ___________.A．found a support group for their only childrenB．do volunteer work to help their only childrenC．let their only children make all the decisions aloneD．set good examples for their only children【3】Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ___________.A．is the only one who cares about herB．doesn't want to leave her aloneC．wants to share the responsibility with herD．is worried about her safety【4】It is quite usual now for a working mother to ____________.A．spend all her time and money on her only childB．be responsible for bringing up her only childC．have and bring up only one childD．devote all her energy to her job【5】The main idea of the passage is that ________.A．only children are ruined and irresponsibleB．only children have to face many challengesC．most only children want to have brothers and sistersD．most only children share their responsibility with their parents3.No doubt that you know about Charities. Here it is another chance for you to know more. Difficult times often bring out the best in people. And this was the case for basketball star Yao Ming, who hosted a television show in Shanghai that raised US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS. Fundraising, or charity, is an act of goodwill towards others. Charities in the West have more flexible ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a wealthy woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save theanimals. The door bell rings and there, on R uth’s doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dres s to wear to that evening’s large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick. Within f ive minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesn’t stop because she doesn’t think she’d find a suitable dress there—it’s full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and but all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish author Henry Drummond.【1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story as a way of fundraising ?A．Charity party B．Charity postC．Charity TV program D．Charity for beggars.【2】What does the word “raise” in the first paragraph mean ?A．Collect together B．DonateC．Increase D．Bring to someone’s attention.【3】We can infer from the passage that .A．Yao Ming donated US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARSB．Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for othersC．Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tiredD．Ruth is angry because so many people ask her for money every day【4】What’s the writer’s attitude towards charity ?A．The writer thinks it’s something only people like Ruth can afford to doB．The writer just wants to inform us of the different ways to practice charityC．The writer thinks it’s a virtue and admires the people who practice itD．The writer doesn’t make it clear in the story【5】The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means that .A．when you look back sometimes, you need stand outB．when you want to do something for others, you need stand outC．the moment you stand out, you can do something for othersD．what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others四、其他阅读下面短文，请根据文后的要求进行答题。
