A
Most great singers have had learnt singing lessons since childhood. Occasionally, though, a great voice comes through untrained, a voice that is unbelievably, naturally beautiful. Mahalia Jackson had such a voice. Without having had a lesson, she was able to attract listeners with her magnificent voice that never seemed forced or pretended.
Mahalia Jackson was a gospel singer. She preferred to sing the soul music or folk songs rather than popular
songs or rocks. Since financial rewards didn?t concern her, she refused many opportunities to become wealthy. She sang for the simple country people and also for the rich, sometimes. But she never changed her style or her point of view.
At one point, after some discussions, her husband advised her to try out for a regular stage role. Then, she reluctantly paid 2. 5 dollars for a song sheet and went to the interview. All the judges agreed to offer her the part, for they were highly impressed. At this point, however ，her husband got a job ，and she turned down the offer. She wanted to go on singing at concerts.
Mahalia Jackson was a down-to-earth person, showing no self-pride. She considered her singing talent a gift from God and accepted it humbly. She would help box-office clerks and would even help sell tickets out front, if necessary. Therefore ，she was loved by people around her.
Perhaps Mahalia Jackson?s greatest moment was singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at President John F. Kennedy?s inauguration (就职仪式）The national anthem may never have been sung better.

C. shy
D. uncertain
34.If Mahalia Jackson saw a young singer was very nervous before a concert, she
would probably______.

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was a good and tireless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:
Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books, and personal investigation is important as well.
Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to a ccept other people?s opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anything，” he wrote to his nephew.
Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him, “You must go into the people?s home as I have done ，look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”
Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas，and this is a source of strength. It is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent(憎恶）your actions. ”
Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didn?t fear new ideas, nor did he fear the futur e. “How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remarked，“I expect the best, not the worst. ”
35. The author mentioned Jefferson?s visit to Lafayette to show______.
A. Jefferson valued the importance of learning from others
B. Jefferson had a close relationship with his people
C. Jefferson was a great American president
D. Jefferson was dissatisfied with Lafayette
36. Jefferson was determined never to answer his critics because______.
A. he believed silence was a source of strength
B. he thought it useless to defend obviously correct ideas
C. he knew the more he said ，the more people would resent him
D. he believed in conflict rather than in unquestioning agreement
37. When writing about Jefferson, the author?s voice sounds______.
A. negative
B. positive
C. interested
D. excited
38. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Jefferson?s Philosophy
B. Jefferson?s Great Works
C. Jefferson?s Teaching
D. Jefferson's Life Story
C
I had a terrible accident and was transferred via a helicopter to the Pittsburgh Hospital. I was conscious of my
accident and friends, and family passing out at the sight of me. It was no picnic!
Late one evening ，I could hear the nurses in the next room repeatedly talking to a new patient. “Sandy, your mom is here. Open your eyes. ” This had gone on throughout the night. “Sandy ，your dad has some flowers for you. Open your eyes and look at them. ” I asked the nurs e as she checked in on me what had happened to Sandy. The nurse said that Sandy was about 17 and had been involved in a car wreck. She was in a deep coma (昏迷），not in good shape. Over the next few nights ，I started talking to Sandy. Although, it was said silently, I started to urge her to open her eyes or say something. Her parents visited with me one evening, and they seemed to be from an important family but in much grief, much like the faces of those that had visited me. And there I was speechless, immobile and had no real way of easing (减轻）their pain. It became very important to me to pray for her recovery, not my own. In some strange way, I believed that if Sandy would just open her eyes ，my own situation would get better.
Sandy never came out of the coma as far as I know. During my stay in hospital, there were many times I felt like I was in an emotional coma. But I still could hear “just open your eyes. ” Even now I think of her quite often. I remember the long nights in the hospital, the smell of the hospital environment and the helplessness we all felt. Even though Sandy?s situation was bad, I am thankful for understanding what it means to let go of your own problems and concentrate on others，.

In the digital age, getting students into classrooms is an increasingly challenging mission for college and university teachers, not to mention retaining their attention.
“It?s much harder to teach the post-90s，，，said Chen Jixiu , a math professor at Fudan University. “They use smart-phones and tablets to search for information, even during class. They get knowledge from a variety of sources, and consider it …a small cake ，to skip classes. ” According to Chen, this situation has fo rced teachers to adopt “odd tricks” for attracting students to class. Here are some interesting ideas picked up by 21st Century.
Food for Thought：Rather than providing only moral encouragement, teachers at Wuhan University are offering real-life related rewards to improve student attendance. Students sitting in the first row of the health psychology course taught by professor Lei Wuming are rewarded with snacks. “I?ve got 7，000 fans on my micro-blog (微博），and most of them are my students，”said Lei ，director of the university?s Education Institution. “I do want to express my thanks to those coming to listen, and to make the class more lively. ”
Teacher vs Phone；In the broadcasting and hosting course of Hankou University, teacher Huang Huiqiong gives students permission to busy themselves with their cell phones during class. They keep their heads down until they hear something interesting. If not, they can sit through the entire class without being disturbed and even give the teacher advice following the class. “A teacher is not the boss and students have the right to make content suggestions，，，said Huang.
Friendly Blogs：You might hesitate to participate in class discussions, but what if you could send a message instead of speaking out loud? In the computer science course at Changsha University of Science Technology (CUST)，students can voice opinions via their cell phone. “I open a micro-blog webpage，and when students text a message to the account, it appears on the screen，，，said teacher Huang Qiang. Su Ying, 19，a sophomore at CUST, said：“I feel relaxed as I don?t like standing up and getting everybody?s attention. ”
43. Teaching the post-90s students is getting harder because______
A. they all use smart-phones and tablets
B. they are focused on digital stuff
C. they are more likely to skip classes
D. they have a bigger resource to learn
44. How does Lei Wuming improve his students? attendance?
A. He sets up a micro-blog for his students.
B. He expresses thanks to all his students.
C. He offers some food as rewards.
D. He uses moral encouragement.
45. Huang Huiqiong allows her students to play with cell phones in class because
A. she doesn?t like to disturb her students in class
B. her students can hear something interesting
C. she thinks students are the main role in class
D. her students may feel much more relaxed

Certain plants and animals can survive under what seem like impossible conditions. Blind fish live freely under ocean depths that are absolutely dark and cold. Bacteria live at temperatures of 600 °F or a higher in places where the heat comes from the deep earth. One of the most remarkable achievements that we can observe directly is the ability of the plants and animals in the desert.
In the Death Valley ，temperatures of 134 °F in the shade have been officially reported Yet lizards live there ，along with 600 species of plants, 30 species of mammals? and even fish. While the days are terribly hot, the nights are extremely cold. Temperatures can fall down by as much as 50 °F.
Plants called xerophytes are perfectly adapted to the extremely dry conditions. These plants have survived by developing techniques for coping with their environment. Like all living things ，they must have water ，and they get it in several ways.
The mesquite and the prickly (多刺的）pear pick up moisture in opposite ways. The mesquite sends its roots down as deep as 60 feet to tap the water table. The prickly pear, on the other hand ，spreads its roots wide. These roots are shallow but they pick up whatever moisture is available at ground level. The paloverde saves water by shedding leaves in times of extreme drought The barrel cactus makes sure of a water supply by storing water in the plant itself. The saguaro cactus stores so much water that it can survive years of drought. But even the saguaro will die sooner or later if there is no rain. All these plants ，although well adjusted to their environment, must eventually get water.
Even if the parent plants die, there are always seeds to keep the species alive. Since the desert is so tough, thousands of seeds must be released to produce one plant. To get rooted, these seeds must have exactly the right conditions. They can lie dormant(休眠）for months, even years, until a little water stimulates the sparks of life.
47. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?
A. The Death Valley is a living museum ，where many plants and animals exist.
B. Plants and animals can survive in the desert by adjusting to the environment.
C. Days in desert can be deadly hot, while nights can be terribly cold.
D. Bacteria survive in the ocean depth and the desert burning heat.
48. The prickly pear survives in the desert by______.
A. shedding leaves in times of drought
B. sending its roots down 60 feet
C. spreading its roots wide
D. storing water in itself
49. The word xerophytes possibly comes from two Greek word roots that have the
meaning of______
A. special techniques
B. living animals
C. water sheds
D. dry plants
50. What is the most important information the writer wants to tell readers in the last paragraph?
A. Seeds can keep plants alive.
B. Water is a must in the desert.
C. Desert plants depend on seeds as well as water.
D Seeds get dormant for a very long time in the desert.

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意每题词数要求)。
A new smart-phone has caused excitement recently. It is Mi-2, launched by a China- based company called Xiaomi Technology. Lei Jun ，the man behind Xiaomi ，won the Best Newcomer at 2012 CCTV China Economic Person of the Year Awards. The company he founded less than three years ago is valued at $ 4 billion.
“People become great because they have dreams. ” said Lei. As a student in Wuhan University, he read a book, Fire In the Valley, which tells the story of Apple?s Steve Jobs. Enco uraged by the book, the 21-year-old set up a company. But his venture soon failed because he lacked a long-term plan.
After graduation, Lei joined Kingsoft, a software company. In 16 years, he became one of the top IT company leaders. His life could have continued this way, successful and steady. But he always felt his dream calling for him every night. At 38，he left Kingsoft and started his own company. This time, he knew what would make a promising new company：following the trends but keeping your innovation. He entered the smart-phone market.
Lei is a big fan of the iPhone. But instead of creating a copy of it, ____. Most big
companies view phones as an accessory (附属品）to computers. However, Lei wanted to replace computers with smart-phones. The greatest challenge was making the phone?s input and output methods as convenient as a
computer?s. Mi Liao, a chat tool on Mi smart phones ，is Lei?s idea. With access to the Internet, you can send voice messages rather than typing to your friends. Mi Liao was launched in December 2010，one month earlier than Tencent?s WeChat. Meanwhile, Lei managed to make smart-phones affordable. Mi-2 has high-end functions comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S3，but sells at half the price.
“Lei is a visionary founder focusing on cuttin g-edge innovation，，，Forbes commented. Becoming a household name in such a short time seems “mission impossible，”but Xiaomi has accomplished it. That?s also what Mi is short for.
56. What is the key to Lei Jun?s success? (1 word)
______
57. What does Mi stand for? (Within 3 words)
______
58. Why did Lei Jun leave Kingsoft? (Within 8 words)
______
59. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (Within 10 words)
______
60. What did Lei Jun do to make Mi-2 a household name in such a short time? (Within 15 words)
______
