In the middle of that summer, my parents shook my whole world and turned it upside down when they told me they were getting a divorce(离婚). I couldn’t believe that our family was going to break up. Though I always knew my parents weren’t very happy and they often fought, I still wanted my family to stay the same.My life changed a lot after the divorce. My mother and I moved into a small apartment across town, while my father and brother, Bill, stayed in our house. I now became a visitor whenever I went to see my dad and Bill on weekends. And later I had my soon-to-be stepfather, Dan, whom I showed no interest in. I was clearly depressed, especially after Dan and my mother married and I realized that there was no way that things could changed back to the way they were.Even though I resisted all Dan’s attempts(努力) to get to know me and wasn’t very nice to him, he never gave up onme. Gradually, I began to believe in him. I realized that we actually had some thing in common especially when it came to movies and TV shows. We spent a lot of time together hanging out and watching TV. That gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other.Better still, Dan showed an interest in me, which I had never experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed advice on school or friends. Once I begin to warm up to Dan, the three of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and took short trips. Eventually, I discovered that I finally had the happy family that I had always wanted.I now realize my parents were right about getting the divorce. Their breakup was the best thing to happen for all of us. My father also found happiness— he remarried and had another child, my half –sister, Michelle.51.

He lost his happiness with his parent s’ breakup.D. He finally changed his attitude towards his stepfather.53. The underlined word “resisted” (Paragraph3) most probably means “.”A. thankedB. receivedC. acceptedD. refused54. Which of the following can best describe the author’s stepfather?A. humorousB. hardworkingC. lovingD. loyalBA young woman was driving through the lonely countryside. It was dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding her hand out as if she wanted a lift. “I can’t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the door. “Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while, she said to the old woman, “Have you been waiting for a long time?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange,” thought the young woman. She tried again. “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. No matter what she said, the hitchhiker (搭便车的人)gave no answer except for a nod of the head or a shrug.Then the young woman noticed the hitchhiker’s hands which were large and hairy.Suddenly she realized that the hitchhiker was actually a man! She stopped the car. “I can’t see out of the rear screen,”she said, “Would you mind clearing it for me?”The hitchhiker nodded and opened the door. As soon as the hitchhiker was out of the car, the terrified young woman raced off.When she got to the next village she pulled up. She noticed that the hitchhiker had left his handbag behind. She picked it up and opened it. She gave a gasp; inside the bag was a gun.55.

What’s the best title of the passage?A. A terrible accidentB. A kind-hearted womanC. A murdererD. A terrible experienceCHave you ever stood side by side with an elephant and touched its ear or its long nose? A marvelous opportunity is offered here for you to experience working with these giant animals. The daily highlight is the walk from the elephant orphanage down to the river to bathe the elephants. Imaging what an amazing fun it is to watch an entire herd splashing (溅湿)around and rolling in the river just feet in front of you!This opportunity is available through a programme designed for visitors and volunteers to work in the world-famous government-run elephant orphanage in Pinnawela, Sri Lanka. The orphanage is regarded as one of the largest centers of its kind in the world, with one of the most successful captive breeding(人工饲养)programmes for Asian elephants.Pinnawela Orphanage is situated in the hills of central Sri Lanka. It was established in 1975 by the Sir Lanka Wildlife Department. The orphanage’s 24 acres(英亩)are a home for the many baby elephants found in the jungle without their mothers. In most of these cases the mothers had either died or been killed. Baby elephants cared for by the orphanage are released into the wild when they reach a certain age.The volunteers’ working hours are quite short so there is plenty of time to sightsee and explore. The vol unteer work consists mainly of the day-to-day aspects of running the orphanage, rather than more specialized research-based work.The volunteers’ main duties are cleaning the elephant homes in the morning (hard, muddy work!) and bathing some of the smaller elephants. Some elephants are overly large or have not been tamed or trained to a satisfactory level. However there are still enough opportunities to have full hands-on contact safely.While the mahouts are bathing the larger elephants, you will have a chance to relax by the river, chat with the mahouts and watch the elephants play and interact(互动)with humans and each other. It is an absolutely beautiful sight. Being around these serene animals in such a beautiful setting can have a very calming effect!If you are interested in such an experience, contact us for more information.59. How many main duties does the passage list for the volunteers?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.60. The passage’s goal is to .A. describe the elephant orphanage in Pinnawela, Sri Lanka.B. attract more tourists to come for sightseeingC. get volunteers for Pinnawela Elephant OrphanageD. call on people to care for baby elephants61. Mahouts are probably people who .A. train elephantsB. bathe elephantsC. care for elephantsD. drive elephants62. The underlined word hands-on in the fifth paragraph probably means .A. doing something rather than talking about itB. doing something by handC. letting others do itD. a very close relationshipDAn allowance(零花钱) is an important tool for teaching children how to make plans for the use of money, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. How large is an allowance is suitable? Experts say there is no right amount. Actually amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.To set up a suitable allowance for your child, work up a weekly plan. Allow for entertainment costs such as movies or fast food. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills,” says Josephine ,a specialist , “he or she will learn to plan for necessary costs.”Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible, if you keep your childre n’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose buying power falls away below his peer’s can feel left out.It can be taught but don’t excuse your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke was ten, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money, Brooke” mother told her, “you walk home.”One week that girl spent all her money in a candy store; then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home,” recalls Brooke, now a financial planner in a big company. “At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”63. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a child’s early habits.B. How to work up an amount of pocket moneyC. How to teach a child to save moneyD. How to teach a child about money64. It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may____.A. spend all the money very soonB. fall into the bad habit of wasting moneyC. feel responsible and careful about moneyD. lose money and can not return home65. In pagraph3, the words “his peers” refer to which of the following?A. His parentsB. His teachersC. His financial expertsD. His friends66. Why does the writer mention the girl Brooke?A. To explain that parents should be strict in developing children’s good habit about money.B. To question the opinion about pocket money.C. To compare Brooke with other financial experts.D. To suggest pocket money is useless in developing a child’s sense of responsibilityEMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that there are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find andchoose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied(多样的) diet. The bear eats fruits, honey(蜂蜜) and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them over overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for your health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.67. We can infer from the text that humans and animals ________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food68. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterflyB. The small birdC. The bearD. The fox69. Certain animals change their choice of food when _______.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move toD. they are attracted by different smells70. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people cares little about healthy diet第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分50分)第一节:完成句子(共10 小题;每小题2,满分20)阅读下列各小题,根据括号内的汉语提示,用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

I did not know these nice differences myself. My mother like to say them and see other dogs look surprised and jealous(嫉妒的), wondering how she got so much education. But, indeed, it was not real education.She got the words by listening in the dining room and the sitting room when there were people talking, and by going with the children to school and listening there. Whenever she heard a word showing great knowledge, she said it to herself many times so that she could keep it until there was a meeting in the neighbourhood. Then, she would show off her knowledge and surprise them all, from small-sized dogs to large-sized dogs.If there was a stranger being doubtful and getting his breath to ask her what it meant, she always explained to him in detail. He had never expected this but thought he would make fool of her. However, in the end, he was the one who was fooled. The others knew what was going to happen, because they had experienced that. When she explained the meaning of a big world, no dogs doubted if it was right. It was natural, because, for one thing, she answered very quickly and confidently, and for another, there were no knowledgeable dogs pointing out the answer was wrong.When I was older, she brought hom e the word, “uni ntellect ual”, and worked on it very hard all the week at different meetings. It was at this time that I realized she made up a fresh meaning of the same word every time. It showed that she was more calm than knowledgeable.(From A Dog’s Tale, by Mark Twain)51. Why were other dogs jealous of “my” mother?A. Because her child was not a dog.B. Because “my” mother knew everything.C. Because they knew nothing about “me”.D. Because they thought “my” mother was educated.52. Where did “my” mother learn the words?A. She made up the words by herself.B. She learnt the words studying at school.C. She listened and memorized when others were talking.D. She attended meetings to learn the words from other dogs.53. How could “my” mother always fool other dogs?A. Other dogs all liked to be fooled.B. She could explain anything in detail correctly.C. She learnt a lot of tricks to make fool of others.D. Other dogs were not knowledgeable enough to find out her mistakes.54. What words can be used to describe “my” mother?A. friendly and cleverB. calm and confidentC. quick and experiencedD. devoted and knowledgeableBNelson Mandela was a figure of international fame, and many details of his life and career were public knowledge. But here are four things you may not have known about the late South African leader.1. He was a boxing fan.In his youth, Nelson Mandela enjoyed boxing and long-distance running. Even during the 27 years he spent in prison, he would exercise every morning. "I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. I was curious by how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match," he wrote in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.2. His original name was not Nelson.Rolihlahla Mandela was nine years old when a teacher at the primary Methodist school where he was studying in Qunu, South Africa, gave him an English name “Nelson” in accordance with the custom to give all school children Christian names.3. He forgot his glasses when he was released from prison.Mr. Mandela's release on 11 February 1990 followed years of political pressure against apartheid(种族隔离). Mr. Mandela's reading glasses stayed be hind in prison Mr. Mandela and his then-wife Winnie were taken to the centre of Cape Town to address a huge and exciting crowd. But when he pulled out the text of his speech, he realized he had forgotten his glasses and had to borrow Winnie's.4. He had his own law firm, but it took him years to get a law degree.Mr. Mandela studied law on and off for 50 years from 1939, failing about half the courses he took. A two-year diploma(学位证书) in law on top of his university degree allowed him to practice, and in August 1952, he and Oliver Tambo set up South Africa's first black law firm, Mandela and Tambo, in Johannesburg. He kept on studying hard to finally secure a law degree while in prison in 1989.55. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Nelson Mandela’s life in the prison.B. The achievements of Nelson Mandela.C. Nelson Mandela’s hobbies and career.D. Unknown things about Nelson Mandela.56. Why did Nelson Mandela love boxing?A. Because he wanted to be a boxer.B. Because he enjoyed the violence of boxing.C. Because he appreciated the strategy in boxing.D. Because he had nothing else to do in the prison.57. What happened to Mandela when he was about to give the speech?A. He broke his glasses into pieces.B. He had to use his wife’s glasses.C. He left his own glasses at home.D. His wife wanted to borrow his glasses.58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Nelson Mandela was not his original name.B. Nelson Mandela was the name given by his teacher.C. Nelson Mandela had been studying the law nonstop for 50 years.D. Nelson Mandela had started his own law firm before he got a law degree.CThe airline lost your baggage. The hotel laundry(洗衣房) ruined your favorite shirt. The taxi driver overcharged you. When you're abroad, sometimes things go wrong. Now you can do something about it! Use these tips when you want to express an effective complaint in English.No matter how unfair the situation, it's best to phrase your complaint politely. In English, you'll sound more polite if you use indirect language. Here are some examples:“I'm sorry to bother you...” Starting a complaint like this puts the listener who may have heard many complaints that day at ease. Use this phrase if the situation isn't that serious. For example, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted a baked potato, not fries."“Can you help me with this?” Everyone would much rather be asked to do something than told! So try phrasing your complaint as a request for help: "Can you help me with this? My shirt came back from the laundry without buttons."“I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding.” This is a polite way of saying, "Your information is wrong. Please fixit now." You'll most likely use this phrase if you made reservations(预定) for a flight, hotel or restaurant, and when you arrive, it's not what you expected. For example, "I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding. I requested a non-smoking room."“I understand it's not your fault...” Often when you make a complaint, you deal with a person who was no t directly responsible for the problem. But the problem isn't your fault, either! This phrase is helpful when you need swift action. Tell the person you're dealing with you understand they're not at fault and then directly state the problem: "I understand it's not your fault, but the airline promised they would deliver my baggage yesterday."“Excuse me, but I understood that...” Using this phrase lets the person know you're well-informed and are suspicious they might be trying to take advantage of you. Don't say, "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead, start indirectly by stating what you know to be true: "I understood that the taxi ride to the airport was only 25 dollars." Then give them an opportunity to do the right thing.59. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. To give an introduction of life abroad.B. To give suggestions on how to learn English.C.

Well, I know where my GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001, and He was very busy!He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.He was on 4 commercial flights giving frightened passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were called by a loved one on one of the hijacked(被劫持的) planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers.He was busy trying to create obstacles(阻碍) for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this was a Miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't fall when the jets crashed. And when they did fall, GOD made them fall inward, as many more lives would have been lost.So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11," you can say "everywhere"! And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I see God's miracles in every bit of it. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in GOD – life would be hopeless. So shines a good deed in a weary world!63.

Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Everyone has a GOD.B. Where was the GOD?C. Never forget September 11.D. September 11 – A Disaster To America.EWhere Are We Going, Dad? presents a new generation of men, in a break from Chinese tradition, now take an active role in their children's lives.Five star fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts, fishing off the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare home in remote southwestern Yunnan province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but give him a couple of days—he’ll fig ure it out. Another one must survive with his son for three days in the desert, where, because neither can cook, the two only eat instant noodles.These story lines are part of Where Are We Going, Dad? which, since its first show in October, has become one of China’s most popular television shows, covering more than 600 million viewers each week. And searches for Where Are We Going, Dad?turn up over 40 million hits on Sina Weibo, China’s Twitter.“In traditional Chinese culture, the common conception of pa renthood is that the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler on their kids and more concerned with their upbringing,” said Li Minyi, an associate professor of early childhood education at the leading Be ijing Normal University. “An important question arises in this show for modern Chinese society —what is the role of fathers in today’s China?”“As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping, a popular education expert, in an interview with the Qianjiang Evening News. “They cannot use parenting styles from 20 years ago to guide the development of children born 20 years later.”The attraction of Where Are We Going, Dad? lies in the chance to have a close look at the lives of popular Chinese stars and their children. Audiences fancy watching the failed attempts of star dads making dinner, braiding hair(编头发), and disciplining children —tasks often left to mothers in a society still influenced by the opinion that “me n rule outside and women rule inside.”67. From the passage, we can draw a conclusion that Where Are We Going, Dad? is .A. a TV showB. a novelC. a matchD. a news report68. In Where Are We Going, Dad, we can probably learn about .A. how the fathers do housework at homeB. how the children study in their spare timeC. how the fathers look after and guide their childrenD. how the children help their father with their travel around China69. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A. In modern society, men should not care too much about their kids.B. Where Are We Going, Dad has the most number of viewers in China.C. In Chinese tradition, fathers always play an active part in their children’s lives.D. While they bring up their children, parents are improving their parenting styles.70. The reason why Where Are We Going, Dad is so popular in China may include the following EXCEPT that .A. audiences enjoy laughing at other s’ failure in lifeB. it can make people laugh and think at the same timeC. people love watching the stars and their children’s lives closelyD. it presents a new generation of men’s role in their children’s lives第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分50分)第一节完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)71.

He always 31 off how many friends he had at school. One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I 32 you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many friends as you think.

However, he wasn’t sure how to test 34 his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather.

One time I asked my mom to make us the same dresses so we could pretend we were twins.We continued as best friends throughout grade school.

They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.55. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A.Reading and listening. B.Reading and writing. C.Writing and speaking. D.Speaking and listening.56. The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “”.A.meet by accident B.discover C.find on purpose D.look for57. The author seems to agree with the view that .A.everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB.you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC.being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing58. The passage is mainly about how to .A.choose suitable listening materials B.deal with new words in readingC.improve your English as quickly as possible D.become fluent in speaking and writing EnglishCTo see the world is one thing; to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business friend.You can have someone to talk toTraveling alone is fun, but wouldn’t you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friendHaving a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.You can have someone to watch out for youWhen you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now!Let’s find out how…59. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To introduce a travel company. B.To encourage us to have a travel partner.C.To explain how to be a perfect travel partner. D.To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.60. What’s the best title for the 3rd paragraph?A.You can have someone to share the expenses with B.You can know the local culture wellC.You can enjoy food with your partner D.You can save money by bargaining together61. Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion?A.Traveling alone is not fun. B.Buying souvenirs isn’t necessary.C.Many people fall in love when traveling. D.It’s better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.62. Which of the following things is NOT mentioned?A.A travel partner can help you take care of your child. B.A travel partner can help get rid of loneliness.C.A travel partner can help you save money. D.A travel partner can make you safer.DThe deadly earthquake and tsunami (海啸) that struck Japan on March 11 damaged two nuclear power stations. Officials are now working to prevent dangerous radiation from poisoning the air in the area surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The Japanese government has ordered people living within 12 and a half miles of the plant to evacuate, and asked those living 12 and a half to 20 miles away to stay indoors.Nuclear power plants create energy using a chemical reaction that produces large amounts of heat. Reactors(反应堆)in Japan have many long, thin rods, called fuel rods(棒), which must be kept cool.If the reactor’s fuel rods aren’t cooled, the reaction can burn out of control. That’s what happened at the two Japanese plants after the quake caused a power failure and the cooling systems malfunctioned(发生故障). This overheating could cause radiation to escape and sicken many people.Japan’s 54 nuclear reactors are built to withstand the many small or moderate earthquakes the country faces each year. But Friday’s earthquake was one of the most severe earthquakes ever recorded.People exposed to unsafe levels of radiation have a higher than normal risk of getting cancer. The Japanese government has been distributing potassium iodide(碘化钾)pills to people in the surrounding areas to protect those who may have come in contact with radiation from the power plant. The pills flood the body with healthy potassium iodide. The potassium iodide works to crowd out “bad” iodine in the body that may have been poisoned by radiation.On Tuesday morning, 750 workers left the Fukushima Daiichi plant. However, 50 workers stayed behind to use sweater to cool the fuel rods. These dedicated employees are risking their own lives to save many others.On Thursday, officials used helicopters, fire trucks, and water cannons to spray water on the reactors to cool the fuel rods. But it’s not clear whether these efforts were successful. Officials are now working on a power line to restore electricity to the plant. They hope this will help restart the plant’s cooling system and stop the fuel rods from leaking radiation.63. The underlined word “evacuate” in Paragraph 1 probably means . A.Help B.Rest C.Stop D. leave64. What can we learn from the text?A.The local people are scared and ready to run away.B.The earthquake led to many deaths and caused damage to roads.C.The Japanese government has found a kind of pill that can treat cancer.D.The two stations were damaged because their cooling systems didn’t work.65. In the last paragraph, the author mainly states .A.lack of help B.international aids C.the government’s efforts D.the result of the disaster66. This text is most probably taken from .A.a research paper B.a newspaper report C.a class presentation D.a chemistry textbookEA study led by Professor Mark Weiser of Tel Aviv University and the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Hospital has determined that young men who smoke are likely to have lower IQs than their non-smoking peers (同龄人). Tracking 18-to 21-year-old men enlisted in the Israeli army in the largest ever study of its kind, he has been able to demonstrate an important connection between the number of cigarettes young males smoke and their IQ.The average IQ for a non-smoker was about 101, while the smokers’ average was more than seven IQ points lower, at about 94, the study determined. The IQs of young men who smoked more than a pack a day were lower still, at about 90. An IQ score in a healthy population of such young men, with no mental disorders(心理疾病), falls within the range of 84 to 116.An addiction that doesn’t discriminate(歧视)“In the health profession, we’ve generally thought that smokers are most likely the kind of people who have grown up in difficult neighborhoods, or who’ve been given less education at good schools,”says Weiser, whose study was reported in a recent version of the journal, Addiction, “But because our study included subjects with various socio-economic backgrounds, we’ve been able to rule out socio-economics as a major factor. The government might want to rethink how it arranges its educational resources on smoking.Making the results more significant, the study also measured effects in twin brothers. In the case where one twin smoked, the non-smoking twin registered a higher IQ on average.Although a lower IQ may suggest a greater risk for smoking addiction, the representing data on IQ and smoking found that most of the smokers investigated in the study had IQs within the average range, nevertheless.In the study, researchers took data from more than 20,000 men before, during and after their time in the military. All men in the study were considered in good health, since pre-screening(筛选的)measures for suitability in the army had already been taken. The researchers found that around 28 percent of their samples smoked one or more cigarettes a day, 3 percent considered themselves ex-smokers, and 68 percent said they never smoked.“People on the lower end of the average IQ tend to display poorer overall decision-making skills when it comes to their health,” says Weiser. He adds that his finding can help address serious concern among heath counsellors at grade and high schools.67. The study led by Professor Mark Weiser shows that .A.the IQ of smoking males is lower than that of non-smokersB.the IQ of smoking males is higher than that of non-smokersC.the IQ of smoking males is the same as that of non-smokersD.the IQ of smoking males is higher than that of female smokers68. According to the passage, a smoking man’s IQ is most likely to be . A.101 B.94 C.80 D. 12069. What can be learned from the passage?A.People in the military are more likely to become smokers than other people.B.Most heavy smokers are found to have mental problems.C.Socio-economic backgrounds have nothing to do with smoking behaviour.D.People with lower IQs tend to be less good at controlling their addiction to smoking.70. What is the meaning of the underlined part “An addiction that doesn’t discriminate”?A.Smokers do not believe their IQ is affected by being addicted to smoking.B.All people, no matter what their background, can become addicted to smoking.C.Smoking is an addiction, and we must not discriminate against smokers.D.The addiction to smoking is difficult to get rid of.第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分50分)第一节:完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)71.
