The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room and made them feel very happy.The next morning,however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent(管理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing.“Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person.” his mother said.“What if we invited them to come here for a party in stead? Dario asked.They both loved the idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩带) and party lights.Finally, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to share. One woman, Mrs. Gilbert, gave Dario’s mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.“I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I was afraid that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we should apologize to you.” she said. “I didn’t realize how late it was when we were playing. May be we should play some quieter music at night.“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such loud music.”“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be happy to play them in the evening.”“And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to practicing the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mothe r’s face.

For example, if the movie maker wants to show a girl running, the artist must draw her feet in different places in each picture. When the pictures are shown very q 82 , oneafter another, it looks like the girl is running. Walt Disney wasnot the first or only one person to use animation in movies, buthe is the most famous. His first Mickey Mouse cartoon in 1928,was called Plane Crazy. This was a short, silent movie aboutthe adventures of a little mouse. Today, 70 years later, MickeyMouse is still a favorite character, and there are hundreds of cartoons and storybooks about him in many l 83 .Many people in the movie business thought that animation was only useful for short cartoons. They did not think people would want to see long movies made from moving drawings. Disney did not agree with them. He believed he could tell any kind of story using animation. His first l 84 movie was Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. Disney spent all his money making this movie. Fortunately, it was a great success. He next made Dumbo, about a baby elephant, and this was f 85 by many more movies. Many of these are still popular today.When we think of Disney, however, we don’t think only of movies, we also think of Disneyland. There are Disney lands in Japan, the USA, France and China (Hong Kong). There will be another one in Shanghai soon. They are large parks where people can meet characters from Disney’s movies and visit scenes from his movies. A86 Walt Disney made many of his most famous movies many years ago, they are as popular now as they were when he made them. Today, we can buy them on video, and from time to time we can see them in theatres. When Walt Disney began making his animated cartoons all those years ago, people drew all the pictures by h 87 .

As a young woman, shebecame a journalist in Santiago, Chil e’s(智利) capital city. Then, shegot married and had two children. In 1970, everything began to change.✧Leaving homeIsabel Allende’s uncle was a political leader named Salvador Allende. In 1970, her uncle was elected president of Chile.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every single d 81 of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory(超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would f 82 within days—as if it had happened just moments ago.“I remember my mum placing me in the driver’s seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I wastwelve yea rs old,” she said. “That’s my e83 memory. I remember every day since then. I can’t tell all the dates e84 because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she’s eating something unpleasant, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so p 85 that she can nearly “taste” it.However, there are times when her memories prove to be painful as it’s not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings r 86 ,too.” Rebecca said. “For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents’ house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel pai nful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the r87 and a soft light on,” she added. “If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all those memories and I can’t sleep.”D. Answer the questions. (12’)It was 3:21 a.m. when ten-year-old Glenn Creamer was woken up by the smell of burning. Except for the cracking(爆裂声) of flames somewhere below, there was not a sound in thetwo-floor house. But he realized at once what was happening.As his father was away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his other, his 14-year-old sister Karen and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped them through the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, couldn’t move any more.The ten-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs into his mother’s room. He found it impossible to wake her up and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy kept calm. As a fireman said later, “He acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father. After Glenn made sure his father would telephone the firemen and ambulance service, he got on with the task of saving his mother.First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. In this way, she would be kept away from the fire before the firemen arrived. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where fire had almost covered the ground floor?Fetching a ball of string(绳) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and rushed upstairs to his mother’s room. He tied one end of the string to her hand. Then he began to run back. He laid out the string as he went through the hall and back out into the garden.Minutes later he was telling fire Chief John Coughlan, “The string .” Mrs. Creamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.88. Did Glenn realize there was a fire when he woke up?89. Where were Karen and Todd when Glenn tried to save their mother?90. Who telephoned the firemen and ambulance service?91. How did Glenn help his mother stay safe before the firemen arrived?92. Why did Glenn think it would be difficult for the firemen to find his mother?93.

Do you have a hobby that helps you relax and unwind? For some people, there is no better way to relieve pressure than spending time in the garden. This small private area of green space can be their place of calm.__67__. A survey conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society, found that 82% of people in the UK said that gardening makes them happier. It also found that 70% of them, given the choice, would prefer to spend their working day in the garden with just 9% opting for an office.For those with green fingers, the pleasure of gardening comes from getting out in the fresh air, in all weathers and communing with nature -- even if there are a few too many worms! It can also be seen as a sort of digital-detox -- time away from technology. __68__.Dr Christopher Lowry, a neuroscientist at the University of Colorado, injected a bacterium commonly found in soil into mice to see what affection this would have on them. __69__. When we dig in soil we absorb this bacterium through our lungs or cuts in our skin, so Dr Lowry concluded that since the mice seemed happier when treated with soil bacteria, it’s likely we would be, too.__70__. There’s evidence that recovering alcoholics who have been given the opportunity to plant, grow, and even sell their produce, have managed to stop their addictive habits. Scot Stephenson, for example, got dismissed from school and started a vocational qualification in gardening. He says, “I got my NVQ level 2 which is my first qualification and enjoyed it ever since.”Whatever the reason, there are many therapeutic benefits to getting your hands dirty, doing some physical hard work and then watching your garden grow. Does this sound like your idea of fun?67-70: DFACWould You B ully(欺负) a Driverless Car or Show It Respect?Say you’re driving down a two-way street and there’s a truck unloading a delivery in the opposite lane. The oncoming traffic needs to pull out into your lane to overtake.What do you do?___67___ Eventually one of us feels charitable and slows down to allow the oncoming car to overtake and give permission with a quick flash of headlights or a wave of the hand.But what if the car waiting patiently behind the parked truck is a driverless or autonomous vehicle (AV)? Will this robot car be able to understand what you mean when you flash your lights or wave your hands?Its sensors could decide that it’s only safe to overtake when there’s no oncoming traffic at all. On a busy road at school home time, this may be never, leading to increasingly angry drivers queuing behind. ___68___ This is one of the conclusions to be drawn from research carried out by Dr Chris Tennant of the psychological and behavioural science department at the London School of Economics.His Europe-wide survey finds that nearly two-thirds of drivers think machines won’t have enough common sense to interact with human drivers, and more than two-fifths think a robot car would remain stuck behind ourassumedparked truck for a long time.Driving isn’t just about technology and engineering, it’s about human interactions and psychology. The road is a social space. ___69___ “If you view the road as a social space, you willconsciously negotiate your journey with other drivers. People who like that negotiation process appear to feel less comfortabl e engaging with AVs than with human drivers,” says Mr Tennant in his report.___70___ A statistic often trotted out(动不动就搬出) is that human error is responsible for more than 90% of accidents, with our tendency to road anger, tiredness and lack of concentration. 67-70 AFBETen years ago, after 2 years as a postdoc (博士后), I found myself wondering whether I should take a different road. Up to that point, I had stuck to a pretty traditional path investigating cancer genetics, but I was losing interest in the research. At the same time, federal funding had flattened, which added to my dissatisfaction. ___67___ Then came the hard part: identifying a new career that would nurture my passion for science and allow me to make an impact with my work.As I was considering my options, I found inspiration in my first graduate school research tutor, whose work r eminded me that scientists’ efforts away from the bench can be incredibly powerful. But I still didn’t know exactly what I should do. ___68___ A colleague mentioned that a professor at a nearby 2-year college was training students to produce monoclonal antibodies for labs on campus. I was impressed that the professor had taken on this type of ambitious project with relatively inexperienced students. Curious to find out more, I set up a meeting with John and was struck by his sincerity and the way he prioritized student training above grants, publications, and personal ambition. I could also see his passion for teaching, which reminded me of the dreamto become a high school biology teacher.__69___ I found a faculty position and joined John at the same quiet junior college. Now, I effectively hold two positions: classroom instructor and research co-adviser of 15 inexperienced but eager undergraduates. Both roles give me a chance to help students transform themselves, which is enormously rewarding.___70___ It’s discouraging when others see both my students and me as less worthy because we are not at universities. We sometimes struggle to get access to federal funding, scientific conferences, and other resources and opportunities. My pay is below the standard at 4-year research institutions, even though my teaching workload is greater. But my occasional frustration is relieved by the thought of the students, who I have helped train.Looking back at these 10 years, I realize how much my work on this campus has helped me grow, both as an academic and a tutor. I’m grateful that I stepped away from a traditional career path and found a way to serve both the student and research communities in my own way, modest though it may be.67—70 EBFAZoos have existed since ancient times and were features of the great courts of Egypt and China. The display of unusual animals form foreign countries was, for a long time, a show of wealth and power. Today, zoos focus on the preservation of animals species and the education ofthe public. __67___Some animals are distinctly unsuited for life in a zoo, however noble the aims of the organization. Keeping elephant in captivity (囚禁) has long caused argument among animals rights activists. Elephant in the wild wander constantly, covering a wide territory on a daily basis. In captivity, they have no choice but to stand still for long periods of time. ___68____. Yet elephants are a threatened species in their native environments and are heavily caught for ivory(象牙)，leather and meat illegally. To protect the species form the wild due to injury or abandonment.___69___. The chances are, if a zoo has nothing but cement floors and metal enclosures, the animals will not do as well. Many famous zoos now construct enclosures allowing animals freedom of movement and native vegetation. Some zoos have even begun housing species of animals together that normally interact in the wild, such as certain types of monkeys.Zoos are not a perfect solution for preservation.____70___. They are undeniably helpful in repopulating declining animal species and encouraging a preservationist outlook, but they are unquestionably primary in their treatment of some animals. Hopefully, animal activists and zoo advocates will continue to work together, finding ways to create the best environment for captive animals in breeding and repopulation efforts.67-70 CEDAA few years ago, a Finnish app took the mobile gaming world by storm. Its set-up was simpleand its idea illogical: Angry Birds was little more than a shooting game, with birds instead of bullets and green pigs in place of targets. 67 Shortly after Angry Birds took off, audiences found a new distraction in Fruit Ninja, a game where the object was to chop falling produce. Then there was Candy Crush, where players could save a candy kingdom by matching like-colored bonbons.68 That was their charm, after all: They were knowingly ridiculous or illogical, an attack into mindless amusement. In games like Angry Birds, players found an escape from reality. All they had to do is resign themselves to the logic of the game, a world of simple cause-and-effect: Slingshot a bird, kill a pig, score points.Fast forward to 2016, and there's now an Angry Birds movie, here to fill you in on all the details you never wished to know. The birds have been given personalities, motives and back-stories, and so have the evil green pigs. Meanwhile, the game's nonsense had to be made sense of due to a necessary plot for a movie. Logic replaced illogic. Angry Birds is not alone in having its gray areas sketched in for the big screen. Hollywood has made an industry of answering the questions no one ever thought to ask; to the point of even giving a brand of toy blocks its own story in 2014’s The Lego Movie. Countless secondary characters have also been pulled from the sidelines and given their own opportunities to show on the screen. That includes the forgetful blue fish Dory from 2003’s Finding Nemo. 69 Viewers no longer have the luxury of imagining back-stories for their favorite characters, or debating the open-ended questions in a film’s source materials: An endless flow of prequels(前传), sequels(续传) and spin-offs(衍生产品) fill in those blanks for them.70 They'll know. Everything will be determined for them: According to the movie, the main bird Red gets picked on for his bushy eyebrows, and that leaves him feeling isolated and, well, angry. In some ways, Hollywood has taken on the role of fan fiction writers, by expanding and exploring every corner of its fictional universes. But when these universes expand too widely, what will be left to imagine?67-70：CE FAIn so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. ____67____ So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the idea themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?____68____ They are looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to worry about what their “faceless” communication is doing for their image. ____69____All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. ____70____ This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from thereal person.So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen67-70 BFACNo matter how early she went to bed, Maggie couldn't fall asleep until the early hours. Though constantly exhausted, Maggie got good grades in school, but she often got in trouble for napping during her morning classes.After graduating from college, Maggie realized her dream of becoming a teacher. However, waking up for her 8:30 a.m. classes turned her into a zombie (无生气的人) , and she lost her job because she lacked enthusiasm.Maggie isn’t lazy. She suffers from delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS，睡眠相位后移症候群)----a disorder that affects one in 750 adults that causes them to be somewhat nocturnal （夜间活动的）. DSPS is often confused with insomnia(失眠），perhaps because sufferers seem tired duringthe day. However, the two disorders are very different. Insomniacs have trouble with the process offalling asleep.67They just can’t fall asleep early even if they want to.Essentially, DSPS means a person's internal clock is set differently. ____ 68 _______ A s aresult,they're out of sync(同步）with the rest of society. People with DSPS struggle to keep their eyes open during morning meetings because their bodies are convinced it*s the middle of the night. They seem less efficient and creative at the office, and make more workplace accidents. DSPS also damages their health, causing depression, anxiety, heart disease and many other illnesses due to sleep deprivation.______69_______ . Fortunately, that’s not the case. Flexible work schedules are already verycommon. Traditionally, managers tend to think more people in the office equals more output, but new research shows that people who work flexible hours are more productive and more likely to stay with their company because they are happier and healthier. Thanks to these findings, many European countries have passed laws giving every worker the right to apply for a flexible work arrangement. According to Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University, most U.K. employees will be working half from home in five years.This is great news not just for DSPS sufferers but also for their companies. 70 Consequently, they will be able to save a large sum of money.KEYS: FACDHow to Keep Your Digital Memorials Safe?Do you value your digital stuff? Nearly everyone is creating things with computers, and some do it without any concern for its value. Others recognize its current value, but think little about what it could mean to them in the future, and either aren't aware or don't think that all of it could bedestroyed tomorrow. But hard drives die all the time, and the online services into which people sink their time close with alarming regularity, taking the work of millions of people withit._________67____________.Steps1.Prepare to make a quick backup. If nothing else, get a cheap USB stick anddrag-and-drop your documents folder onto it. Worry about the other things later.You should do more than this, but it's most important to take the most valuable,irreplaceable information from your hard drive and put it on a second medium to guardagainst hard drive failure, theft or loss.2.Decide what you value. Some questions to ask yourself are:How replaceable is this data?How good are you at assessing the value of items? _______68__________. For things likebusiness accounts and documents, the answer is of course you would. This kind of thingshould be your first priority.3.Start making backups.__________69__________Diminishing returns(效益递减) apply in backups as they do with everything else. The cheapest and simplest backup methods take care of an overwhelming majority of likely loss-of-stuff. Over-complicating your backup strategy is the biggest trap: the more complicated and expensive you insist on making it, the less likely you are to do it.4.____________70______________If one of your backup drives fails, replace it immediately. Remember that all storage devices eventually become obsolete (陈旧的). If you have valuable files on obsolete media, those files become increasingly difficult to access with every passing year. So in order to keep your files accessible, remember to migrate your collection to new storage media periodically.67-70 FDEATutoring a New NormalIt’s not piano lessons or dance lessons. Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity in the West is going to a tutor. “I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. It’s costly,” says Pet, a mother in Canada. However, she adds, “after finding out half my daughter’s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. “When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always shouting. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and could get most of their homework done.”Tutoring isn’t simply a private school phenomenon. 67________ In Cana da alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent last year.Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried schools are not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. 68 ________As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.69________ “A lot of parents just don’t have time to help their children with homework,” says Julie Diamond, presi dent of an American tutoring company. “Others couldn’t help their children after Grade 3.”There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. “Children used to get bullied(欺侮）for having a tutor,” Diamond says. “Now it’s becoming the norm to have one.”70 ________One parent feels surprised that so many of her child’s classmates have tutors. “For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need，” she says. Still, she’s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actua lly asked for one.FADBIn 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. __67__ Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria (症疾）and TB(肺结核）combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populous continent. __68__ Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don't have enough to eat.__69__ They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. __70__ The answer to world hunger,therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.67-70 FABDFor centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person's wishes. He believed that (67) ___________The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud's. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. (68) ___________ For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior. (69) ___________Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women's dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. (70) ___________ The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It's important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.67-70 EFCDIt is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. 67 _____. A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement -- checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home -- has a more powerful influence on students, academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, reports that the effort put forth by parents reading stories aloud, is devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.68 ______. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage. They don’t need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk. 69 _______. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics founds that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as powerful in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal (双向的) back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thought and opinions matter.The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear tal k about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, report researchers from the University of Chicago. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academicsocialization” -- setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. 70 _______.67----70 DACBWhere do you think the world's happiest people live? Somewhere hot with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the university of Leicester. Who are the happiest people on Earth? 67 Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some some of the highest taxes in the world. So what is the secret of their success?Let's start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capital than other country.And there's another advantage to those high taxes. Because a shop assistant's final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank, for example, Danes don't choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want to do. There's a philosophy in Denmark known as "Jante-love", which translates as "you're no better than anybody else." ___68___ But workers in otherr countries are not used to looking at life in this way.Money doesn't seem as important in Denmark. It has been called a "post consumerist" society. ___69___ What is more important is the sense of society and it's no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing. 92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are evenpaid for by the government.___70___ They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government. You can see sighs of this all over the country. You'll find vegetable stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in a basket. Perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark. The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes---simple, economical, non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.67----70 EBFCWhy should mankind explore space? Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What prompted our distant ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? _____67_____. The wider the distribution of a species, the better its chance of survival.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be located. Additional resources are always beneficial when used wisely, and can increase our chances of survival. Knowledge or techniques acquired through exploration, or preparing to explore, filter from the developers into society at large. _____68_____. Also, we have already benefited from other by-products, including improvements in earthquake prediction —which has saved many lives —in satellites used for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick saucepans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the spaceindustry!_____69_____. The chances of a large comet (彗星) hitting the Earth are small, but it could happen in time. Such strikes in the past may account for the extinction of dinosaurs and other species. Human technology is reaching the point where it might be able to detect the possibility of this happening, and enable us to minimize the damage, or prevent it completely, allowing us as a species to avoid extinction.In certain circumstances, life on Earth may become impossible: over-population or wide spread diseases, for instance, might eventually force us to find other places to live. While the earth is the only planet known to sustain life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to inhabit other planets and moons. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future. _____70_____.. keys:67-70 DAFB。

Do you know Leonardo da Vinci also painted an “ Earlier Mona Lisa” before? It will be exhibited in Shanghai next y ear. Joel Feldman, the general secretary of the Mona Lisa Foundation, accepted an interview about the painting and the organization recently.Q: How was the “Earlier Mona Lisa” discovered?A: In 1913, Hugh Blaker, a manager of the Holburne Museum in England, found the “Earlier Mona Lisa” and brought it to his museum. A year later, the painting was sent to the US for safekeeping. It was housed in the Boston Museum of Fine Art until 1918. In 1975, Henry Pulitzer, a publisher, bought the painting and kept it in the Bank of Switzerland.Since the Mona Lisa Foundation was established in 2008, we have done lots of necessary research on the “Earlier Mona Lisa” and many high technologies were used. In t he end, 28 out of the 29 experts believe this is certainly the painting created by Leonardo da Vinci.Q: Do you remember the feeling when you first saw the “Mona Lisa” painting and this “Earlier Mona Lisa” painting?A: I first saw the “Mona Lisa” in the Lo uvre as a young boy. Quite honestly I was disappointed as the painting looked quite small and dark. When I first saw the “Earlier Mona Lisa”, I was absolutely stunned. Believe me, there is really something amazing that occurs when you are in the presence of this painting.Q: Why did you choose Shanghai for this exhibition?A: First, Shanghai is one of world art centres. In addition, the mission of the foundation is to show the painting to the world. Therefore, we decided to begin its Asian tour and Shanghai obviously would be the first stop.Q: Could you tell more details about the security for the painting?A: I can’t tell you a lot. What I can say is that we paid huge amounts of money for the insurance and the painting will be exhibited in a high-tech case, and also no more than 2,000 people will be allowed to visit the painting a day. But visitors will be able to come quite close to the painting.69.was the first owner of the “Earlier Mona Lisa” in the passage.A)The Mona Lisa Foundation B) The Holburne MuseumC) The Boston Museum of Fine Art D) The Bank of Switzerland70.What was the main purpose of the research?A)To learn the history of Leonardo da Vinci.B)To know the value of the “Earlier Mona Lisa”C)T o find out who painted the “Earlier Mona Lisa”D)T o test different high technologies.71The underlined word “stunned” is the closest in meaning to “”.A)surprised B) frightened C) bored D) worried72Which city will the “Earlier Mona Lisa” most p robably travel to after Shanghai?A)Los Angeles B) London C) Paris D) Beijing73The organization did many things to keep the painting safe, except .A)buying an expensive insurance for the paintingB)using a high-tech case to show the paintingC)limiting the number of visitors to the exhibitionD)k eeping visitors a long distance away from the painting74In which section of the newspaper can you most likely find this passage?A)Science section B) Sports section C) Arts section D) Business sectionB.Choose the best answer and complete the passage.Xiao Yuwei is a 15-year-old Beijinger. As the only child in the family, she often feels lonely. She hopes to have a sister or brother as company. Now it is the time for Xiao to realize her dream. Last month, China 75 its long-lasted one-child policy. Every couple can have two children. But what would it be like growing up with a sibling(兄弟姐妹)?A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a professor of family research fromB righam Young University, US. “sibling can give kids something that parents can’t”. she says. You may not feel lonely because there is someone else to 76 . You can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other.But there are downsides, too. You have to share things with your sibling, including the TV, toys, the bathroom and even 77 from parents. There could be lots of competition, quarrelling and hair- pulling. “Children with sibling need to learn to compromise(妥协)and control their feelings well,78 it will have bad effects on the family relationship.” Says Laura Padilla-Walker.Even the birth order can make a difference. US psychologist Kevin Leman says that the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different 79 in children. Leman explains that parents are usually very nervous and strict with their first child. Firstborns are often responsible and eager to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they are more 80 .

It is not affected by a 81 or by water. Because gold is so soft, it can be made into different shapes such as very thin flat pieces and very fine thread.Over 5,000 years ago, gold had some special meanings for the ancient Egyptians. They believed that all gold b 82 to their kings, the Pharaohs. In fact, they put many precious gold objects in the palaces with their Pharaohs when they died, and we can see a lot of them in museums today. The Egyptians had a lot of skill in working with gold, they could make it into sheets so thin that a pile of 35,700 pieces would be only 2.5 cm high. Sheets like this are called gold leaf. Gold leaf is still used today to d 83 furniture and other things.The gold used to make jewellery is usually mixed with other metals of lower value. This not only makes the things c 84 , but also harder. People use the word "karats" to talk about how good the gold is. One karat means one twenty-fourth part of it is made of gold.Because it was not c 85 and therefore had a high value, gold was used as money all over the world in the past. Today, we use pieces of paper i 86 , but many countries still keep bars of gold in the banks. They can change this gold into money by selling it to other countries. About two thirds of all the gold in the world is kept in this way.Gold is found in many parts of the world, usually deep u 87 the ground. It can also be found in rivers. The sea too contains gold, but it would cost much more money to get the gold out of the sea than the gold is worth.D.Answer the questions.A boy has been injured in a traffic accident. His leg is badly damaged. In the Emergency Room of Shanghai No.6 People’s Hospital, the doctors work so hard to save the leg. The boy cries out in pain. There is blood on the bed and on the gloved hands of the doctors. The room is full of tension. In the end, the doctors manage to save the young boy’s leg. This is real life, real drama and … real TV !Since its first show last December, the Story in ER(急诊室故事)has become popular with audience and pointed to a new direction in reality TV. We have already got used to reality shows such as The Voice of China (中国好声音) and Dad, Where are we going (爸爸去哪儿). These shows only want to amuse people. Audience may think them interesting and funny while watching. But The story in ER takes us deeper into the lives of others.Reality TV had its beginning in Europe in 1990s. since then, hundreds of reality shows have appeared around the globe ---there are 176 on British television, alone! These shows are not real documentaries (纪录片), but focus on personal dramas and difficulties controlled by the producers to catch more people’s eyes.The story in ER, however, is really real --- real pain, real suffering, and real situations. No need for controlling here! Some audience may feel unco mfortable, but we can’t help watching, because it’s human nature to be attracted by the ups and downs of the lives of other beings. Also, we learn things by watching others. The story in ER gives us a chance to go behind the scenes and see how hospitals work and how hard the medical staff work. It allows us to imagine how we might react in similar stressful situations. It also lets us appreciate how lucky we are.88.Do the doctors save the boy’s leg successfully in The story In ER?89.How do audience like Dad, Where are we going according to the passage?90.Where did reality shows start?91.Who makes reality shows more attractive according to the writer?92.Why does The Story in ER need no controlling?93.Is The Story in ER a good choice for a TV station? Give your reason.VII.Writing (作文20 分)94.Write at least 60 words on the topic “ Tom’s Christmas”(以“汤姆的圣诞节”为题，写一篇不少于60 词的短文，标点符号不占格)汤姆在圣诞节发生了什么事？由此他产生了怎样的感想？请根据图片进行描述。

Green is an important color in nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．Sometimes, the word"green"means young, fresh and growing．For example, a greenhornis someone who has no experience．In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns（⾓）had not yet developed．A century later, a greenhorn was a soldierwho had no experience in war．By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today﹣a person who is new in a job．Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb（⼤拇指）．The expression comes from the early 20th century．A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well．The Green Revolution（绿⾊⾰命）is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains．It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs．Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy（嫉妒）．The green﹣eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space．It is an expression used about 400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello"．It describesthe unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants．In most places in the world, a green light is a signal（信号）to move ahead．In everyday speech, a green light means approval（赞成）to continue with a project．（1）A new soldier was called a greenhorn in the________century．A 15thB 16thC 18thD 20th．（2）A person with a green thumb________．A is good at growing plantsB really has a green thumbC has no experience inwar D is new in a job．（3）A man may meet the green﹣eyed monster if________．A he sees a dangerous animalB he can't get somethingC he reads a sadplay D his friend gets a prize that he wants．（4）This passage doesn't mention the history of the expression"________"．A a green thumbB a greenhornC the green﹣eyed monsterD a green light．（5）Which would be the best title of the passage？________A Green，the color of grass and treesB The stories about the color"green"C Green，a sign of approvalD Different meanings of"green"．18. Many people think the dinosaurs were the biggest animals that ever lived．They are wrong．The world's biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean．It is called the blue whale （鲸鱼）．Blue whales can be as long as 30meters and weigh as much as1, 000kilos．The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500kilos．The whale is not only the world's biggest animal, it is also one of the smartest．We know that whales can communicate with each other, although we do not know what they are saying．Perhaps one day we will learn how to communicate with whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves．Although they live in the ocean, whales don't lay eggs like fish do．They are mammals （哺乳动物）．They give birth to babies and produce milk inside their own bodies to feed them．Humans are also mammals．There are lots of stories about whales, but perhaps the most famous story is Moby Dick, which was written by an American writer named Herman Melville．In this book, a sailor named Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill an enormous white whale named Moby Dick．Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left．People have killed them for food and other things for thousands of years．However, there are now laws （法律） to stop people killing most kinds of whales．So perhaps there will be more of them in years to come．（1）Which picture shows the correct size of the largest whale？________（2）Whales can________．A tell us about themselvesB lay eggsC communicate with each otherD live on land．（3）Moby Dick is________．A a story written by Herman MelvilleB a sailorC the name of a blue whaleD a famous dinosaur．（4）There are not many kinds of whales left because________．A they don't lay eggsB people have killed themC they live in the oceanD there are laws against them．（5）The passage is mainly about________．A the world's biggest animalB lots of stories about whalesC laws to stop people killing whalesD the differences between dinosaurs and whales．19.

ARob Frenette had problems with bullies(欺辱) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.Rob’s most important message is: “When bullies are unkind to you, it isn’t your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people.”One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won’t stop until there’s a Blue Day in every school in Canada.16.How did Rob often feel at school before he was fifteen?A. Relaxed.B. Unhappy.C. Shocked.D. Tired.B．从第一段的句意可以看出Rob在15岁之前收到校园的欺凌，所以是“unhappy”17.We can learn from this passage that Rob suffered from bullying since he was ______.A. four.B. sevenC. elevenD. fifteenA．“Rob Frenette had problems with bullies(欺辱) at school for eleven years”和“When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems.”从这两句可以看出，是四岁的时候受到欺凌18.www. bullyingcanada. ca is a website where people can ______.A. learn how to write poemsB. get advice about bullying problemsC. get blue clothes for freeD. practice both English and FrenchB．“With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice,”“给来访者提供建议的”因此答案为“B“19.The underlined part “those people” in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. people who always bullied others beforeB. people who help others with bullying problemsC. people who are members of the governmentD. people who write e-mails about their problems B．“And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people.””该句的句意”记得这些人是关心你的问题的人“20.What was the correct order in which these events happened?a. Rob and his friend made a website.b. Rob was bullied at school.c.

As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby.The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a trick: we will take away his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them. That must be very interesting.”“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never play jokes on others because of their being poor. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery changes him.”The student did so, and they both hid themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came back. While putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes. Feeling something hard, he bent down to see what it was and found the coin. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, his surprise doubled on finding the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to the sky and said aloud some thanksgiving words to the person who gave him the coins.The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes were filled with tears. “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.

People use it to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies（类推法）.It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively and make scientific discoveries.To test this ability in animals, scientists do RMTS tests. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct.Monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman in the US first trained two crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called IMTS, then moved onto RMTS.For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plate that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: One was the same as the sample（in the color, shape, or number of shapes pictured）, while the other wasn’t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card had some food to eat.In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with RMTS tests. A card with twosame-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles. The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science New reports.Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is surprising,” he said.26. In the opening paragraph ,the writer used “birdbrain” to ______.A. get readers interested in the background of the expression.B. teach people how to use this expression.C. introduce a famous scientist Edward Wasserman.D. introduce recent findings about crow’ s intelligence.27.

Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the crows?A. The birds were trained to match things by color in RMTS.B. RMTS tests are much easier than IMTS tests.C. The monkeys could do RMTS while the crows couldn’t.29.D.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Monkeys understand analogies.B. Crows show how clever they are.C. Crows did well in RMTS.D. Monkeys are cleverer than crows.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）请仔细阅读文章，为各段选择恰当的小标题。
