Often __1__ to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads, these students have a(n) __2__ impact on the global community.So who are these Third Culture Kids? They are not a new phenomenon. As one looks back on history, there is a realization that certain groups of people have led highly mobile lives, a key factor in describing TCKs. They often __3__ their parents into another country and spend a significant part of his or her development years outside the parents' culture. They are __4__ to new cultures and to other people in the community who also move constantly. Their numbers __5_ into the hundreds of thousands an increasing. Ease of travel and constantrelocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this __6__.The question “ Who am I? ” is frequently asked by TCKs. They have had a good number of cultural identities, and have built relationships to all the cultures, __7__ not having full ownership of any. Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK's life experience, the sense of __8__ is in relationship to others ofa similar background.As you enter into the world of TCKs, one might suspect they are no different. But it is clear, after spending only a short time with them, that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare international and local issues. They represent many countries and cultures. They are the future cross-culturalists and hopefully future politicians, diplomats, government employees and educators.They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and __9__ lives. So, whatever one chooses to label the international students as ---TCKs, Global Nomads, or Global Souls ---we will gain unbelievable__10__.1. A. referring B. regarded C. d escribed D. r eferred2.

I just sat still and didn't say anything.2.When Kristi was old enough, we sent her to a kindergarten. It would have been comforting to cry the day I left her in that room full ofkids. Kristi had spent hour upon hour playing by herself, but this moment, when she was the“different " child among them, she was probably the loneliest.3.However, positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school, and to her schoolmates, too. Kristi's classmates always took pains to praise her: " Kristi got all her spelling words right today. " N that her spelling list was easier than anyone else's.ter, she faced a very special challenge. The final event of the term was a program based on a final outcome of the year's music and physical education activities. Kristi was behind in both. My husband and I dreaded the day as well.5.On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. Surely missing one program couldn't matter. But my conscience wouldn't let me off that easily. So I practically got a pale, reluctant Kristi onto the school bus.6.Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. At the kindergarten, I felt worried becauseofher slow and clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.7.The performance went well until it was time for the sack race. Surely Kristi would find it tough. Now each child had to climb into a sack, hop to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Kristi standing near the end of her line of players.8.But as her turn to join, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Kristi placed his 1 on her waist.Two other boys stood ahead of her The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from thesack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her into it. A girl ahead took her hand and supported her. Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud.9.At the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.1.When sending her daughter to the kindergarten, the writer must have felt .A. lonelyB. cheerfulC. worriedD. scared2.What does the underlined sentence imply?A.It didn't matter to miss one program because it was not important.B.It gave the author a good excuse not to send Kristi to the program.C.Kristi's illness prevented her from taking part in the program.D.The teachers wouldn't blame Kristi for she was ill.3.What does Paragraph 6 & 7 mainly tell us?A.The writer was worried about her daughter's performance.B.The sack race is very difficult for the kids at the kindergarten.C.The writer was unwilling to go to watch the program.D.All the kids performed well in the games except the sack race.4.The author expressed her gratitude mainly because .A.her daughter Kristi won the competition with the help ofher teammatesB.her daughter's teammates helped her experience the happy feeling of her ageC.the teachers at the kindergarten arranged some teammates to help her daughterD.the other kids' parents cheered for her daughter's good performance5.What's the best title of the passage?A. The day I criedB. An unforgettable experienceC. My disabled daughterD. A warm-hearted teamwork(B)Books, Films and PlaysThe novelist's medium is the written word, on might almost say the printed word. Typically the novel is consumed by a silent, individual reader, who may be anywhere at the time. The paperback novel is still the cheapest, most portable and adaptable form of narrative entertainment. It is limited to a single channel of information The narrative can go, effortlessly, anywhere: into space, people's head, palaces, prisons and pyramids, without any consideration of cost or practical possibility. In determining the shape and content of his narrative, the writer is restricted by nothing except purely artistic criteria. The novelist keeps absolute control over his text until it is published and received by the audience. He may be advised by his editor to revise his text, but if the writer refused to meet this condition no one would be surprised. It is not unknown for a well-established novelist to deliver his or her manuscript and expect the publisher to print it exactly as written.However, not even the most well-established playwright or screenplay writer would submit a script and expect it to be performed without any rewriting. This is because plays and motion pictures are cooperative forms of narrative, using more than one channel of communication.The production of a stage play involves, as well as the words of the author, the physical presence of the actors, their voices and gestures, the " set " and possibly music. Although the script is the essential basis of both stage play and film, it is a basis for subsequent revision negotiated between the writer another creative people involved. They are given a approval of' the choice of director and actors and have the right to attend rehearsals(排演),during which period they may undertake more rewriting work. In the case of the screenplay, the writer may have little or no control over the final form of his work. Contracts for the production of plays protect the rights of authors in this respect.In film or television work, on the other hand, the screenplay writer has no contractual right to this degree ofconsultation. While the script is going through its various drafts, the writer is in the driver's seat, although sometimes receiving criticism from the producer and the director. But once the production is under way, artistic control over the project tends to pass to the director Thisis a fact overlooked by most journalistic critics of television drama, who tend (unlike film critics) to give all the credit or blame for success or failure of a production to the writer and actors, ignoring the contribution, for good or ill, of the director6.Where might you find the passage?A. In a textbook.B. In a movie magazine.C. In a travelling brochure.D. In a shopping guide.7.Which ofthese subtitles would be most appropriate?A.Why does the future look good for writers of books, plays and films?B.What do audiences want from these three forms of entertainment?C.How do these forms of media compare for their producers?D.What benefit can we get from these forms ofmedia?8.Why can the novelist expect the publisher to print the manuscript exactly as written?A.Because the novelist keeps absolute control over his text.B.Because the paperback novel is most portable and adaptable.C.Because the novel is limited to a single channel of information - writing.D.Because the novelist is seldom advised by editors to revise the text.9.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Playwrights envy the simplicity of the novelist's work.B.Experience in the theatre improves the work of screenplay writers.C.Screenplay writers have the final say in how a TV drama will turn out.D.Playwrights are frequently involved in revising their work.10.What can be implied from the last sentence ofthe passage? critics often blame the wrong people for the failure of a program.B.The director is a determining factor in the future of a television drama.C.Few people know the screenplay writer is often criticized by the director.D.It is urgent for the film critics to realize their mistakes.(C)Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenagerwithout much of a future. However, on person wants to change this. Stephen Francisobserved then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint.“Where did she come from? ” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again at the World Championship in Britain, becoming the world champion with a time of 10.73 - the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one ofthe poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead, only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who, just a few years previously, had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. "I have so much fire buri country,“ Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterho use. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they havedeep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision. " One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understandiiof this truth.11.Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?A.He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B.He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.C.She had big problems maintaining her performance.D.She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.12.What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?A.She would become a promising star.B.She badly needed to set higher goals.C.Her sprinting career would not last long.D.Her talent for sprinting was known to all.13.What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A.She was highly rewarded forher efforts.B.She was eager to do more for her country.C.She became an athletic star in her country.D.She was the envy of the whole community.14.By mentioning Muhammad Ali's words, the author intends to tell us that .A.players should be highly inspired by coachesB.great athletes need to concentrate on patienceC.hard work is necessary in one's achievementsD.motivation allows great athletes to be on the top15.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Making of a Great AthleteB.The Dream for ChampionshipC.The Key to High PerformanceD.The Power of Full ResponsibilityPart 2I.Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letter is given.Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. A__1__, scientists have found out that the social behaviors of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their t__2__. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their child ren. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food?In the laboratory, chimps don't naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage w__3 __ he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provi des food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random---he just doesn't care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand, are extremely c__4__. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in a__5__ common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperation in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full t__6__ to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but n__7__ processed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behavior s are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive（认知的）skills, at least when c__8__ with chimps. In tests led by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the s__9__ world.The core of what children's minds have and chimps' don't is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a " we" , a group that i__10__ to work goal.II.Fill in the blanks with the given words in their proper forms.What do you do when you feel sad?Jack Ma went to see a film, one he claimed he had watched about 10 times.

He did this for nine years and acted as a free tour guide to many.However, it was his vision and goals that launched his career. During a short trip to the US as an interpreter in1995, Ma first experienced the Internet. He believed in the Internet's business potential when few other Chinese people did. He started Alibaba in his Hangzhou apartment, with 17 friends and $60,000 of funds. At the time, when e-commerce was unheard of in China, “I called myself a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers,His unusual ideas earned him the nickname “ CraanJackinese media used words like "__5__" and“paranoid（妄想狂的）" to describe him.Indeed, Ma is different.

The wind was howling and it was starting to thunder. As I turned a corner, I saw three children looking up into a tree at a terrified little cat. It was trembling and meowing loudly out of fear. While I was thinking about what to do, I noticed a man who was in his garden. Next to him was a long hose he used to water the plants.I ran quickly over to the man, grabbed the hose, and pointed it up at the cat. The powerful jet of water knocked it out of the tree and into the arms of the surprised children below. The cat was soaking wet but unharmed. I got back to the station that day with a huge smile on my face. “ It’s great that my job isn’t just about fighting crime!”Samantha Greene:“It was my first week in the department store in town. One day, I noticed a smartly-dressed man beside me. He was looking around from time to time, so I wanted to watch him for a while. Suddenly the man picked up a bottle of perfume and ran downwards the door.“ Stop! Thief!” I shouted. I chased after the man. He was runnin g very fast, but I was even faster! I knocked him to the ground. Then , to my surprise, I saw the man was laughing. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I’m Mr. Tomkins, the owner of the store. I wanted to see how good you are.

This was followed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by changes in industry as factories started to use newly invented machines. These two periods in British history were important and are known as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. They were times of great economic and technical progress which also resulted in some huge changes in society, one of which was a rise in crime.Farms could produce more with fewer workers, so people from the countryside moved into the cities to look for work in factories. However, there were not enough jobs for all those who wanted them. As urban populations increased, unemployment, overcrowding and poverty became widespread. As a result of their struggle to survive, many people became criminals. The crime rate rose rapidly, and by 1840 it was higher than ever before.The most common crimes were theft by pick pocketing or housebreaking, even though the punishment was extreme. Many criminals were sent to America or Australia, or found themselves living in terrible conditions in overcrowded and dirty prisons. In fact, until 1823 a person could even be put to death for stealing a piece of bread or picking a pocket. History books present the facts, but fiction that was written at the time also tells us what daily life was really like. Wilkie Collin’s The Moonstone shows how wealthy people lived, and other writers provided information about different sections of society. For example, Charles Dickens’novel A Chrismas Carol explains the great difference that existed between the lifestyle of rich people and those who were poor.66.The Industrial Revolution occurred in _____A.the 18th centuryB.the 19th centuryC.the 18th and 19th centuryD.184067.Crime increased because _______A.people could not find jobsB.people did not want to work in factoriesC.farm employed more workersD.criminals moved from the countryside to the city68.Prisons often______A.had their pockets pickedB.had their bread stolenC.escaped to AustraliaD.had little space to live in69.A suitable title for the passage would be “_______ in the 19th century”A.How criminals livedB.The Agricultural and Industrial RevolutionC.The increase of crime in citiesD.Understanding social change and crime70.The writer mentioned Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens with their novels in order to show that ______A.novels tell you more details about historyB.Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens were great writers between the 18th and 19th centuriesC.in history, Britain experienced some social problems as industry developed.D.Industrial development created some very rich people.CRead the following passage.

Athens, the capital of Greece, is known as the bir thplace of western civilization. 2400 years ago, it was the world’s most powerful city. Buildings such as the Parthenon on the Acropolis Hill were built during this period. Greece’s best writers lived in ancient Athens. Their work has influenced other writers ever since. Paris, the capital and largest city of France is on the River Seine and is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is visited by more than eight million tourists every year. The most popular place for tourists is the Eiffel Tower, the famous symbol of Paris. One of the world’s largest art galleries, the Louvre, is also in Paris. The city is also famous for its restaurants, cafes and theatres. About two thirds of France’s artists and writers live in Paris. Florence is another one wh ich should not be forgotten. This Italian city becamefamous because of the Renaissance, a great artistic movement which began in the 1300s and lasted for three hundred years. During the Renaissance, some of the greatest painters of all time lived and worked in Florence. Many of Florence’s most beautiful paintings and sculptures were produced by great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Florence is visited each year by about a million tourists who come to see the art galleries, churches, andⅧ.Composition(10marks)Every Friday afternoon and Sunday evening, there will be terrible traffic jams around our school.

模拟试卷二考生须知：1．答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写学校、班级、姓名、试场号、座位号及准考证号；2．所有答案必须写在答题卷上，写在试卷上无效；3．考试结束后，只需上交答题卷一、填空题1.生活处处有物理，留观观察皆学问．下列有关生活中的物理说法正确的是__________．①医生给病人看病时常使用听诊器，因为听诊器能增大发声体的频率，使音调变高．②甲乙两人在照同一个镜子，甲在镜中看到了乙的眼睛，乙也一定能看到甲的眼睛．③舞台上常用干冰制造白雾以渲染气氛，这种白雾是二氧化碳气体．④小明拿着一个直径比较大的放大镜伸直手臂观看远处的物体，可以看到物体的像一定是放大的．⑤骑自行车时，自行车轮胎与地面的摩擦是有害的，车轮与转动轴的摩擦是有益的．⑥物体的内能增大，温度一定升高．⑦楼道中的电灯是由声空开关和光控开关共同控制的，只有在天暗并且有声音时才能亮，所以声控开关、光控开关是串联的．【答案】②⑦【解析】【详解】①听诊器的工作原理就是利用声音在管内空气中集中传播，减小声音的分散，提高声音的响度，从而可以听到更清楚的声音，然后根据经验判断是否有病症，故说法错误；②根据反射现象中光路的可逆性，既然乙的眼睛反射出的光线能再经过平面镜的反射后进入甲的眼睛，那么逆着这束光线，光路仍然是成立的，也就是从甲的眼睛反射出的光线经平面镜的反射后会进入乙的眼睛，所以乙一定能看到甲的眼睛。

故正确；③干冰升华时吸热,周围空气中的水蒸气遇冷后液化成液态小水滴,形成"白雾"效果,故错误, ④伸直手臂观察窗外远处的物体，物体在凸透镜的二倍焦距以外，成倒立、缩小的实像，所以小男孩看到倒立、缩小的像，故说法错误。

⑤自行车启动时，车轮和地面之间的摩擦是有益摩擦。

车轮与轴的摩擦越小越省力，所以是有害的，故说法错误⑥物体的内能增大，温度不一定升高，例如晶体熔化时内能增大，温度不变，故说法错误⑦楼道中的电灯是由声控开关和光控开关共同控制的，只有在天暗并且有声音时才能亮，所以声控开关、光控开关及灯是串联的，故正确。

Often __1__ to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads, these students have a(n) __2__ impact on the global community.So who are these Third Culture Kids? They are not a new phenomenon.

They have had a good number of cultural identities, and have built relationships to all the cultures, __7__ not having full ownership of any. Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK's life experience, the sense of __8__ is in relationship to others ofa similar background.As you enter into the world of TCKs, one might suspect they are no different. But it is clear, after spending only a short time with them, that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare international and local issues. They represent many countries and cultures. They are the future cross-culturalists and hopefully future politicians, diplomats, government employees and educators.They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and __9__ lives. So, whatever one chooses to label the international students as ---TCKs, Global Nomads, or Global Souls ---we will gain unbelievable __10__.1. A. referring B. regarded C. described D. referred2.

I just sat still and didn't say anything.2.When Kristi was old enough, we sent her to a kindergarten. It would have been comforting to cry the day I left her in that room full ofkids. Kristi had spent hour upon hour playing by herself, but this moment, when she was the “different” child among them, she was probably the loneliest.3.However, positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school, and to her schoolmates, too. Kristi's classmates always took pains to praise her: “Kristi got all her spelling words right today.” No one bothered to add that her spelling list was easier than anyone else's.ter, she faced a very special challenge. The final event of the term was a program based on a final outcome of the year's music and physical education activities. Kristi was behind in both. My husband and I dreaded the day as well.5.On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. Surely missing one program couldn't matter. But my conscience wouldn't let me off that easily. So I practically got a pale, reluctant Kristi onto the school bus.6.Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. At the kindergarten,I felt worried because ofher slow and clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.7.The performance went well until it was time for the sack race. Surely Kristi would find it tough. Now each child had to climb into a sack, hop to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Kristi standing near the end of her line of players.8.But as her turn to join, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Kristi placed his 1 on her waist. Two other boys stood ahead of her The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from thesack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her into it.

Typically the novel is consumed by a silent, individual reader, who may be anywhere at the time. The paperback novel is still the cheapest, most portable and adaptable form of narrative entertainment. It is limited to a single channel of information—writing. The narrative can go, effortlessly, anywhere: into space, people's head, palaces, prisons and pyramids, without any consideration of cost or practical possibility. In determining the shape and content of his narrative, the writer is restricted by nothing except purely artistic criteria. The novelist keeps absolute control over his text until it is published and received by the audience. He may be advised by his editor to revise his text, but if the writer refused to meet this condition no one would be surprised. It is not unknown for a well-established novelist to deliver his or her manuscript and expect the publisher to print it exactly as written.However, not even the most well-established playwright or screenplay writer would submit a script and expect it to be performed without any rewriting. This is because plays and motion pictures are cooperative forms of narrative, using more than one channel of communication.The production of a stage play involves, as well as the words of the author, the physical presence of the actors, their voices and gestures, the “set” and possibly music. Although the script is the essential basis of both stage play and film, it is a basis for subsequent revision negotiated between the writer another creative people involved. They are given “approval” of the choice of director and actors and have the right to attend rehearsals(排演),during which period they may undertake more rewriting work. In the case of the screenplay, the writer may have little or no control over the final form of his work. Contracts for the production of plays protect the rights of authors in this respect.In film or television work, on the other hand, the screenplay writer has no contractual right to this degree ofconsultation. While the script is going through its various drafts, the writer is in the driver's seat, although sometimes receiving criticism from the producer and the director. But once the production is under way, artistic control over the project tends to pass to the director This is a fact overlooked by most journalistic critics of television drama, who tend (unlike film critics) to give all the credit or blame for success or failure of a production to the writer and actors, ignoring the contribution, for good or ill, of the director6.Where might you find the passage?A. In a textbook.B. In a movie magazine.C. In a travelling brochure.D. In a shopping guide.7.Which ofthese subtitles would be most appropriate?A.Why does the future look good for writers of books, plays and films?B.What do audiences want from these three forms of entertainment?C.How do these forms of media compare for their producers?D.What benefit can we get from these forms ofmedia?8.Why can the novelist expect the publisher to print the manuscript exactly as written?A.Because the novelist keeps absolute control over his text.B.Because the paperback novel is most portable and adaptable.C.Because the novel is limited to a single channel of information一writing.D.Because the novelist is seldom advised by editors to revise the text.9.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Playwrights envy the simplicity of the novelist's work.B.Experience in the theatre improves the work of screenplay writers.C.Screenplay writers have the final say in how a TV drama will turn out.D.Playwrights are frequently involved in revising their work.10.What can be implied from the last sentence ofthe passage? critics often blame the wrong people for the failure of a program.B.The director is a determining factor in the future of a television drama.C.Few people know the screenplay writer is often criticized by the director.D.It is urgent for the film critics to realize their mistakes.(C)Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, on person wants to change this. Stephen Francisobserved then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint.“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again at the World Championship in Britain, becoming the world champion with a time of 10.73 - the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one ofthe poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead, only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who, just a few years previously, had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for mycountry,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.11.Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?A.He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B.He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.C.She had big problems maintaining her performance.D.She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.12.What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?A.She would become a promising star.B.She badly needed to set higher goals.C.Her sprinting career would not last long.D.Her talent for sprinting was known to all.13.What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A.She was highly rewarded forher efforts.B.She was eager to do more for her country.C.She became an athletic star in her country.D.She was the envy of the whole community.14.By mentioning Muhammad Ali's words, the author intends to tell us that .A. players should be highly inspired by coachesB.great athletes need to concentrate on patienceC.hard work is necessary in one's achievementsD.motivation allows great athletes to be on the top15.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Making of a Great AthleteB.The Dream for ChampionshipC.The Key to High PerformanceD.The Power of Full ResponsibilityPart 2I.Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letter is given.Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. A__1__, scientists have found out that the social behaviors of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their t__2__. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their child ren. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food?In the laboratory, chimps don't naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage w__3 __ he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provi des food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random---he just doesn't care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand, are extremely c__4__. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in a__5__ common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperation in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full t__6__ to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but n__7__ processed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behavior s are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的) skills, at least when c__8__ with chimps. In tests led by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the s__9__ world.The core of what children's minds have and chimps' don't is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that i__10__ to work toward a shared goal.II. Fill in the blanks with the given words in their proper forms.What do you do when you feel sad?Jack Ma went to see a film, one he claimed he had watched about 10 times. “My hero is Forrest Gump. Everytime I feel a sense of __1__. I watch the movie,” he said on CNBC on Sept 19. “I watched the movie before I came here to New York.”There Ma witnessed the Alibaba Group opening on the New York stock exchange with the largest initial public offering (IPO 新股发行) in American history.Alibaba, “the world's largest Internet commerce company”, according to The New York Times, “put China on an equal level with the US in the rapidly increasing global competition for technological innovation and __2__ transformation,” commented the South China Morning Post.It has also made Ma China's richest man with a fortune of around $25 billion (153 billion yuan), reported Reuter.Ma's rags-to-riches journey is just as __3__ as his Internet empire. Ma failed the national college entrance exams twice before he finally enrolled in Hangzhou Normal University on his third attempt. He studied English. After graduation, Ma became an English teacher for years after he failed to land jobs at a local KFC, a hotel, and the city police, reported USA Today.“Mr. Ma is a big believer in __4__,” commented The Wall Street Journal, also talking about Ma's English studying experience. Starting at the age of 12, Ma said he woke up at 5 am to walk or cycle to Hangzhou's main hotel so he could practice his English with foreign tourists. He did this for nine years and acted as a free tour guide to many.However, it was his vision and goals that launched his career. During a short trip to the US as an interpreter in 1995, Ma first experienced the Internet. He believed in the Internet's business potential when few other Chinese people did. He started Alibaba in his Hangzhou apartment, with 17 friends and $60,000 of funds. At the time, when e-commerce was unheard of in China, “I called myself a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers,” he once said. His unusual ideas earned him the nickname “Crazy Jack Ma”and Chinese media used words like “__5__”and “paranoid(妄想狂的)”to describe him.Indeed, Ma is different. Although he is very thin and about 160cm tall, “Ma is yet animated and forceful, with a bulging forehead and __6__, restless hands,” said The Guardian. “He is funny, creative, and a__7__ speaker. I often thought he has another career in stand-up comedy,” Duncan Clark, a Brit who is a Beijing-based technology __8__, told USA Today.While Ma joked to The Wall Street Journal that he had “a unique and ugly face so people always recognize me”, it is “his readiness to make fun of himself, and speak his mind that is a contrast to China's often __9__ corporate leaders”, commented USA Today.Ma told Time magazine that he was “old for the Internet”. He started to slow down and looked around.According to The Wall Street Journal, Ma plans to open a tai chi club with the actor Jet Li, build an entrepreneurship university in Hangzhou and continue to work on several __10__ projects.III.Fill in the blanks with the given verbs in their proper forms.“Have you gotten married?” “Have you received a salary raise??” “Have you bought a house???” Are you familiar with these questions starting with “have you” and ending in at least one question mark?If your answer is yes and you are getting sick of answering these questions, you probably __1__ (become) a member of the “home-fear group”.The “home-fear group” refers to those feeling anxious about returning home during the Spring Festival. They have deep concerns about __2__ (go) back home for such factors as heavy economic pressure, high costs of the festival, the troubles of buying tickets, the long distance of the journey exposure of private matters __3_ (involve) family or love life.Now, a special song has been tailor-made for this group.The seven-minute song utilizes a choir style and rap. The beginning of the song __4__ (sing) by the choir, which involves a family scene where a recently returned young adult is asked a series of questions by family members. After the “question attack” from relatives, the young man decides __5__ (reflect) on his past and also defend himself through rap.According to the official microblog account of Shanghai Rainbow Indoor Chorus, this is more than just a funny song, but a useful guide for young people. A careful listen to some ofthe lyrics __6__ (inspire) you on how to wisely answer many 'Spring Festival-specific' questions.“It is a very interesting yet brainwashing song, truly __7__ (describe) the less satisfactory situation quite a few young Chinese people have been trapped in,” Sina Microblog user Santilin Clouds said.According to a survey recently __8__ (conduct) among 1,918 young people by the research center at China Youth Daily, an overwhelming 86.4 percent of interviewees think it is necessary that they __9__ (return) to their homeland during the Spring Festival, even if they are afraid of losing face for an average life or career.“We might not work hard in the future if we __10__ (be) that good. That's enough! After all, the essence of spending the Spring Festival is reunion not pressure,” the song echoes the theme at the ending.IV.Sentence transformation.1.Scientists assumed that Stonehenge was more likely a prehistoric health center than a site for observing stars.Stonehenge ___________ a prehistoric health center ___________a site for observing stars.2.Our parents will certainly point our bad behavior out when we make a mistake or do something inappropriate.。

Butwould you believe that a real surfing dog could help raise money for those in need? Adog named Lucky is using her special talents to do just that.Lucky’s trainer started coaching her to become a service dog when she was a puppy. Lucky did well during training. She learned how to turn on lights, open doors,and do other jobs. These skills would be useful for her to help a person with specialneeds.Judy, the dog’s trainer, concentrated ( 关注) on Lucky’s positive qualities. Like most dogs, Lucky loved water, so Judy took her to the beach. Lucky quickly became good at surfing. Her talent got people’s attention. Judy dec ided that instead of being a service dog, Lucky would become a “surfing” dog. The idea was that Lucky could use her surfing talent to raise money to help people.Lucky’s first charity event was in 2009. She starred at an activity to help a teenager named Patrick. Patrick was unable to walk, but he had always dreamed of surfing. At the event, Patrick and Lucky were supposed to use their own surfboards. Lucky decided to jump on Patrick’s board, however. They surfed together and raised $10,000. The money helpe d pay for Patrick’s medical treatment and his own service dog.Encouraged by this event, Judy started the organization named Surfing for Paws-abilities. Lucky now travels to different places and surfs at events to raise money for the organization that helps people in need.Not only does Lucky raise money, but also what she has done inspires many other organizations to help both people and animals. She’s surfed to make money to buy pet masks for fire departments. She’s surfed at charity events to help fight human and animal cancer. She’s even shown off her surfing skills to raise money to buy teddy bears for children in hospitals and people in nursing homes. As of 2012, this amazing dog has raised $250,000 to help those in need.31.What is Lucky’s special talent?A. Surfing on a board.B. Turning on lights.C. Making a video.D. Opening doors.32.We can know from the passage that .A.Lucky is Patrick’s service dogB.Lucky looks after sick childrenC.Lucky helps both people and animalsD.Lucky visits old people in nursing homes33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Dogs are humans’ good friendsB.The person who trains dogs wellC.Charity needs great dog helpersD.The dog who surfs to raise moneyCWhen it comes to days of the week, Monday gets little expectation. I surveyed friends, and the results were very clear. When asked which day of the week they like the least, 90 percent of my friends chose Monday. Not one person thought of Monday as his or her favorite day. Songwriters have even written a song about horrible Mondays. In the 1960s, a musical group had a hit titled “Monday, Monday.” They sang, “Every other day of the week is fine, yeah. But whenever Monday comes, you can find me crying all of the time.” I don’t agree with all these ideas. In fact, I think that Monday is actually the best day of the week.First of all, consider all the good things that happen on Mondays. If you are a sports fan, you may get towatch Monday Night Football in the fall. Furthermore, quite a few public holidays, including Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day, are celebrated on Mondays. That means that several times a year, a Monday provides a three-day weekend. And according to consumer (消费者) websites, Monday is the best day to get a good deal on a car because there aren’t as many people shopping on the first day of the workweek. Experts say that you can also get the best online deals on Mondays. This is especially true for electronics, such as computers, TVs, and video games.To me, however, there’s something even more important about Mondays. Each Monday stands for a new beginning. For example, last week I got behind on my homework and had to spend the weekend catching up. But as soon as Monday arrived, I had a clean slate. Another week I forgot to do some of my chores, so I had to give up going to a movie with my friends on the weekend.I also love Mondays because we frequently start new lessons at school at the beginning of the week. While last week’s topics may have been boring, Monday can bring a new book to read, more experiments to conduct, or math problems to work out.I realize that I am probably not going to persuade everyone that Monday is the best day of the week, but hopefully I can encourage a few people to change their attitude. The next time a Monday comes, think about all the good things that could happen and look forward to the day instead of fearing it.There’s no way to avoid Mondays, so join me in making the best of them. Who knows? You might even start liking the first day of the workweek.34.Why does the writer mention the song “Monday, Monday. ” in Paragraph 1?A.Because it was a very popular song in the 1960s.B.Because it shows most people don’t like Monday.C.Because songwriters like to write songs about Monday.D.Because the musical group often performed on Monday.35.The words “a clean slate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “”.A. a fresh startB. a sudden stopC. a tiring endD. a near future36.What can we learn from the passage?A.People don’t like to go shopping online on weekdays.B.The writer likes doing chores instead of going to a movie.C.The lesson topics on weekdays are always interesting.D.Some public holidays on Mondays make three-day weekends.37.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.What makes Monday the worst day.B.Why some people like Monday the least.C.Why Monday is the best day of the week.D.How we can make good use of Mondays.五、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

When he dropped his three quarters (that is, 75 cents) in the box, the driver asked for his I D card. John took out his ID card. “You need a special CTA card.” said the driver. John did not have the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.“Then you need to put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.” Old people are usu ally very stubborn（固执）. John said, “Give me back my three quarters, and I’ll get off.”“I can’t---it’s in the box. If you don’t get off, I’ll call the police,” said the driver, which he did, and two police cars pulled up.John and the driver told the police their stories. “That’s why you called?” one policeman asked the driver.

B ut the people there wouldn’t give me a CTA card---he needed a picture.“What about his three quarters?” one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and a decision was made to gi ve John’s quarters back.“How are you going to get there?”“By bus. And all I’m going to pay is 75 cents.”“Good luck,” the policemen said.John got on a bus, dropped three quarters in the box, and said, ”I’m a senior citizen…”The driver looked at John and nodded.

A Senior Citizen(2)The Many OwnersWho owns the large American companies that produce cars, washing machines, and televisions sets? They are owned by a large group of people called stockholders.A company must have money to build factories and to purchase machinery. To get this money, it sells shares of stock. Each share of stock is a share in the ownership of the company. Persons who buy shares of stock become par t owners of the company. They are the stockholders. Sometimes a very large company is owned by millions of stoc kholders.Few persons can afford to buy a whole company, but the average individual can become part owner of a busin ess. This can be done by buying a share of stock in a large company. A person does not have to be wealthy to be sto ck holder.When a company makes money, the stockholders many receive dividend checks, which are their share of the p rofits. Part of a company’s profit is not paid out to the stockholders. This money is used by the company so it can gr ow large. If a company does well, its shares of stock can become more valuable. If the company does poorly, its sha res of stock can become less valuable. The possibility of the stock price dropping is a risk that people take wheneve r they buy a share of stock.More than 50 million people own shares of stock in American’s companies. By owning stock, they are helping America’s business grow. They are also putting their money to work to earn more money.71.

But this year’s event will go down in American film history.For the first time in the academy Awards’ 74-year history a black woman has been voted Best Actress.Halle Berry won the award for her role as a woman who falls in love with a racist（种族主义者） white man in Monster’s Ball. She was so shocked that she had to be helped up from her seat.Holding the golden statue she said, “This is for every nameless, faceless（默默无闻的） woman of color who now has a chance because tonight the door has been opened.”Denzel Washington beat Hollywood favorite Russell Crowe to win the Best Actor award.It is the first time that a black man has won the awards since 1964 when Sidney Poiter was awarded for his wo rk in Lillies of the Filed.This year, Poitier received his second Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.Before this year, the Academy had only awarded six statues to black actors and actresses, and five of these wer e for supporting roles.Black performers have been almost absent on the big screen for years. This has been an criticism（批评） of Hollywood for a long time.Throughout the night, black actress Whoopi Goldberg, who presented the ceremony, highlighted the difference that skin color makes.At one point she joked, “I tried to get a role in Lord of the Rings. But even though the film is three hours long, they still didn’t need a black character.” Goldberg won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Ghost in 1991. She was deeply touched by the night’s events and even shed (l落下) tears when Berry won.A Beautiful Mind and Lord of the Rings stole the night, winning four awards each.76.

By that time he had become t37 of the sea and wanted to find some work more closely tomachines. Arriving in the United States, he left the ship in Philandelphia. and s 38 a year or two working in different places.Then in 1876 Matzeliger went to Boston. Massachusetts. After working there for a year. he moved to Lynn.Massachusetts. That was where he s 39 all his life. At that time. Lynn was a town of about 35,000 people.

Many birds and animals 51 beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water 52 It is in a colour of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gels into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forest all around Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater 53 clean.Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals in their gardens. They use otherchemicals inside their houses for 54 or killing insects There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops Other chemicals 55 onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains. The rainwater picks up all the chemicalsfrom homes and business and then 56 them into the lake. They polluted the water and kill the animals.Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So 57 bad chemicals go into the water this way.People in Hartwell are 58 .They love Their lake and want tosave it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have a clean rainwater 59 into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are 60 about chemicals at home and at work, gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn't use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people's lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.IX. WritingYou're graduating from junior school soon.

He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire .Soon the pots began to boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed coffee beans. He let them sit and boil for a while.In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked," Darling, what do you see?""Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noticed that they weresoft .He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell ,she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee.

It didn’t require access to the Internet, a TV screen, batteries---or anything else for that matter. But we all enjoyed it very much and we are thinking ofdoing again some time.We had a conversation. The kind of real, live stimulating conversation that was common when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mailing---but we seem to be losing the art of communicating face to face. We all know when young people are out on a date these days, they appear to spend most of their time answering their mobile. And teenagers nowadays seem to prefer catching up with their friends by texting rather than actually speaking to them.If we carry on like this, by the year 3000 we’ll all be living in our own separate little high-tech bubbles, it seems to me. We’ll have lost the use of our voices---apart from singing along tunelessly to karaoke music---and we will be communicating only via our thumbs, which will be the size that our arms are now.Am I exaggerating?

Beginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their potted(盆栽的) plants thoroughly wet. In consequence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall (降临)theplants of a new horticulturist. Plants wither (枯萎)away if they don't get enough water, and this draws attention to their problem.A plant that has been slightly under-watered so that it droops (bends downwards) strikes terror into the heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Over-watered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the over-watered pot soil is given a considerable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched, it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the under-watered plant―but with no chance of being revived because the roots have rotted away.71.From the text we can infer a horticulturist is a person whose job is _____.A. growing plantsB. cutting plantsC. selling plantsD. studying the death cause of plants72.
