He was watching for kids rushing out between parked cars and 32when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, one child appeared, and a brick hit into the car’s side door. He slammed on the brakes and 33 the car to the 34 from where the brick had been thrown.He 35 out of the car, grabbed a kid and pushed him up 36 a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what are you doing?” Building up a head of steam, he went on “That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?”,“Please, mister, please. I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else to do!” pleaded the youngster.” It’s my brother,”he said. “He rolled off the curb(路边) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t37 him up. Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his 38 ? He’s hurt and he’s too39 f or me.” Moved 40 words, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and 41 the scrapes andcuts, checking to see that 42 was going to be okay. “Thank you, sir. And God bless you,” the43 child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to his car… a long, slow walk.

But it doesn’t come from Hollywood- it’s Hallyu(韩流) the wave of Korean pop culture that has washed over Asia. It has influenced everyt hing from music to television. And thanks to the Internet social media, it’s now spreading worldwide.South Korea produces all types of entertainment, the most popular being music, soap operas and films. What makes Hallyu so hot in Asia? One reason is that its products are of high quality and much cheaper than western products. Another reason is that eastern cultures are similar to each other, although there are language differences.Korean pop music, or “K-pop”, is topping music charts (音乐排行榜) everywhere, fans love the songs and the attractive stars. Companies like SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment help many K-pop stars, such as Super Junior, Big Bang and Rain, to succeed. And they are not only popular in Asia, they also enjoy popula rity in the West. In 2011, Big Bang’s mini-album Tonight reached the top 10 on U.S. iTunes Top Pop Albums. When SM Entertainment took their 2010 world tour to Los Angeles, only 30 percent of the 15,000 fans were Korea. Half of the audiencewasn’t even Asia n!One important reason for the success of Hallyu is simply the Internet. A little more than 10 years ago, Korean soap operas, movies and music reached the outside world quite slowly. They began in Korea, then gradually spread outward, appearing in its neighboring countries where local TV and radio companies would play them. Now they are played around the world online at the some time.YouTube is another major way to get Korean entertainment to fans everywhere. It is an inexpensive and effective (有效的) way for artists to introduce their work to a large audience. In 2010 the YouTube channels for the top three Korean entertainment groups together had nearly 800 million views from 225 different countries.51. Hallyu is very hot in Asia partly because .A. languages in Asia are similar to each otherB. the quality of South Korea’s products is highC. South Korea’s products are the cheapest in AsiaD. the culture is the most fashionable in the world52. The author shows the popularity of K-pop in the West .A. in order of timeB. in order of spaceC. by listing reasonsD. by giving examples53. The last two paragraphs mainly tell us .A. how important the Internet isB. what helps Hallyu spread quicklyC. why Hallyu is popular worldwideD. how popular and effective YouTube is54. What would be the best title for the text?A. K-pop tops music charts everywhereB. Hallyu makes waves across the worldC. YouTube helps Korean cultures spreadD. Korean soap operas are growing in popularityBUS schools are doing a little better to limit the amount of junk food which students can buy, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.The CDC’s survey of middle and high-school headmasters in 40 US states found that the number of schools limiting carbonated soft drinks was about 63 percent in 2008. That compared with 38 percent in 2006. Nearly 44 percent limited sports drinks compared with 28 percent in 2006. “Schools should have nutrition standards that provide students with healthy choices,” the CDC suggested.About 16 percent of US children and young adults aged 2 to 19 are obese. Obesity raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and obese children are very likely to remain obese as adults.The government has asked schools to help control how much access students have to junk food that can add calories without much nutrition. In the United States, such things are often controlled by local school boards.From 2004 to 2009, the number of states with nutrition standards for foods outside of school meal programs increased from 6 to 27. Despite these improvements, greater efforts are needed to make sure that all foods and drinks offered or sold outside of school meal programs meet nutrition standards.The CDC survey found large differences from one state to another in controlling junk food access in public schools. For example, in Connecticut, Hawaii, and Maine, in more than 80 percent of schools, students could not buy candy and salty snacks in 2008; however, this was true in only 18.2 percent of schools in Utah.55.Who usually control the access students have to junk food?A. School principals.B. School boards.C. ParentsD. The teachers.56. It can be inferred from the text that .A. more US schools will limit the amount of junk foodB. nutrition standards are different in different high schoolsC. the obesity rate has increased a lot over the past two decadesD. the government passed laws to limit the amount of junk food57. According to the text, which states doesn’t do well in controlling junk food access in publicschools?A. Connecticut.B. Utah.C. Hawaii.D. Maine.58. How does the author express his concern about teenagers’ health in the text?A. By giving data.B. By describing his own experience.C. By telling a story.D. By comparing the examples.CIf you’re going to make a big purchase, why not make it a book? Good books age with you; they bend with your life experiences.When I was 23 years old, I left a secure high school teaching job to go to graduate school. In one of my first clauses, I studied the poetry and prose() of T.S. Eliot, that master of arcane(神秘的) vocabulary. I was discouraged when my high school Webster’s Dictionary turned mute(不出声的) each time I tried to look up “estaminet” or “juvescence”. I needed a new book: the Oxford English Dictionary. Its price in those days was $300.One night, my husband and I set out for a book store. I breathlessly asked the clerk for my Oxford English Dictionary, paid quickly so that I would have no time to reconsider the madness of my purchase, and rushed back to our truck. Under the streetlights, I opened the book and saw the tiny print. Now I could know all of T.S. Eliot’s vocabulary.Don’t get me wrong: I never turn down a trip to the library, but I know that there is something mysterious and spiritual in owning your own good books, in spending your earthly money for a piece of heavenly art to pass down to future generation to say: this is what I loved. And I wonder if you will love it, too.I have been the recipient(接受者) of many of these passed-down books. I remember my father going to the Aspen Used Book Store on the weekends. He would take hundreds of old paperbacks(平装书) and trade them for neglected sets of classic. He would arrange these books in our basement where I, at nine or ten years of age, would spend all summer reading Greek and Roman myths.One day, I’ll have to leave my library, but I’m pleased to know that my children will have all my books about Southern literature and modern poetry.59.Why did the author need the Oxford English Dictionary?A. Someone borrowed her previous dictionary.B. It is intended for graduate students.C. It has more vocabulary entries.D. Her previous dictionary was lost.60. It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that the author .A. seldom made her way to librariesB. often borrowed books from librariesC. thought buying books was worthwhileD. made a study plan for future generations61. Which of the following is true of the author?A. She acted in a strange way.B. She aimed to become a poet.C. She had difficulty communicating with others.D. She became fond of reading when she was young.62. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To stress the importance of reading.B. To persuade readers to love poetry.C. To criticize public library service.D. To advise readers to collect books.DTo many people, video games are an essential part of life. What attracts people to games varies: for some it’s the competition, for some it’s about problem solving, and for others it’s just recreational. However, according to Jesse Schell, life may one day be like the games that so many enjoy, as more companies and businesses are making products that take advantage of popular elements(元素)of video games.Jesse Schell is a professor of game design and teaches the popular building virtual worlds course in the entertainment technology center. He created the term “Gamepocalypse”, in order to describe what he thinks is life’s resemblance(相似性) to a video game. “we already see games crowding into our everyday lives in all kinds of funny ways,” Schell noted in an interview, “for example, Starbucks uses a point system(积分法) in order to provide its customers with rewards such as coupons(赠券) and price reductions.”Schell considers new developments in tracking technology as a power for gamepocalypse, “Games are always trying to be new,” he said, “and one way to create new games is through new kinds of input,” Schell points at input technologies in games like Dance Dance Revolution, which tracks the movement of the body. Such input technology can also be seen in recent smart phones and GPS systems.Schell also noted that camera technologies will be the next big step in input technology. Cameras have necessary functions for capturing(捕捉) facial expressions and determining location, and such technology has already been used in the Xbox 360 and Nintendo DSi.The internet and Wi-Fi will also contribute to gamepoclypse growth in the coming years, Schell predicts. With technologies like Nike-shoes, which measure the number of steps taken by the wearer and can be connected to computers via USB, connectivity is very much already a large part of life.Gamepocalypse, however, has its downsides. Some sectors(行业), such as the tobacco industry and fast food, might take advantage their own point system and potentially endanger individual’s health. The choice, Schell admitted, are becoming harder.63. By saying “life’s resemblance to a video game”, Jesse Schell means .A. some technologies can be used in daily lifeB. many scenes in games come from real lifeC. one can learn a lot from video gamesD. life sometimes is like a game64. According to Jesse Schell, which of the following does not belong to “Gamepoclypse”?A. Starbucks’ using a point system.B. GPS systems’ determining location.C. Nike-shoes’ measuring the wearers’ steps.D. Dance dance revolution’s input technologies.65. Which of the following has used input technologies?A. The point system.B. Tobacco industry.C. Smart phones.D. Nike-shoes.66. The underlin ed word “downsides” in the last paragraph probably means.A. potential advantagesB. positive effectsC. special consumersD. negative aspectsEYou can tell the story of a life using only its great moments and events. That’s how the history textbooks do it. Take Abraham Lincoln for example.The 16th president is considered one of the nation’s greatest leaders of all time. He was a big man who did big things---he took the United States through the civil war, held the union together, and helped abolish slavery. And certainly he was a tall man---6 feet 4 and the tallest president in history. Yes, that’s the man for whom they built the huge monument(纪念碑) in the nation’s capital.There’s much more to Lincoln’s st ory, however. He was also a boy who almost drowned while swimming- the very same one who after shooting a turkey felt so guilty that he never hunted again. He was a teenager who played practical jokes on his family. He stood on the sidelines(旁观) at dances telling other boys funny stories and irritating (激怒) the girls who wanted to dance with them. Later as an adult, one fiancée died, another broke off their engagement, and Lincoln believed he would never find love---but then he found Mary Todd, who became his wife.The small moments of a life transform a historic giant into a living and breathing person. But how can we find out about those small moments? Through the work of biographical authors, such as Candace Fleming, we can take a t hree-dimensional(立体的) look at historic figures, Fleming gathered an astonishing amount of information in the Lincolns: a scrapbook (剪贴簿) Look at Abraham and Mary.But the book isn’t an ordinary biography. Fleming collected photos, letters, newspaper articles, advertisements, r ecipes, and other big events to create a “scrapbook” of the Lincolns’ lives---the big events and the small ones too.67. How do the history textbooks tell the story of a great figure?A. By showing his special feature.B. By referring to his great achievements.C. By describing his life experience.D. By interviewing his family.68. From the passage, we can know that Abraham Lincoln .A. felt guilty about playing jokes on his familyB. was almost dying when shooting a turkeyC. was big both in career and in heightD. had one sad love experience69. What’s the main feature of the book The Lincolns: a scrapbook Look at Abraham and Mary?A. It contains a great amount of information.B. It makes small moments of a life more interesting.C. It i ntroduces small moments of the Lincolns’ life.D. It makes biography come alive by using a scrapbook way.70. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To give details about what a scrapbook is.B. To introduce a special biography of Abraham Lincoln.C. To show the difference between a history textbook and a biography.D. To tell us something big and small about Abraham Lincoln.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.

Lansrdorp is expecting at lease 1million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost , several other potential problems could inhibit(阻止) the mission to Mars.It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food , with air ,with all the other things like books ; entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars.”said Adam Baker. senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London .” The sheer size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”6.
