For each of them,. there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneHealthy trees are important to us all. Trees provide shade, beauty, and homes for wildlife. Trees give us products like paper and wood. Trees can give us all these only if they are healthy. They must be well cared for to remain healthy.Your trees' trouble may be you yourself. People spend much time and money planting and maintaining trees. Trees help to improve the looks of homes, parks, and public buildings. Yet, people who love trees the most may be the ones who cause them injury. Of course, they do not do this on purpose. They are most likely not aware of the kinds of things that injure trees. There are many people who cause tree injuries. You should become aware of the injuries and avoid causing them. Learn the things that can help to keep your trees healthy.Healthy trees are beautiful. They make our world a pleasant place to live in. Un-healthy trees are not as beautiful. They make the world less pleasant. Healthy trees help to cool and clean the air. They can even deaden sound. Unhealthy trees cannot help or protect the environment. (81) Trees, like people, are disturbed by changes a-round them. Construction of buildings is a major cause of tree injuries.41. According to the passage, onl y trees can give us shade, beauty, and products.A. beautifulB. healthyC. oldD. young42. People who love trees may .A. never cause trees injuryB. damage trees on purposeC. do harm to trees without knowing itD. not be aware of which trees are healthy43. People may improve the looks of their homes and public buildings by .A. keeping unhealthy trees injuredB. making a lot of changes around treesC. cooling and cleaning the air around treesD. planting trees and. keeping them healthy44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Construction of buildings is good for trees.B. Some trees' trouble comes from human beings.C. People should keep trees beautiful.D. Trees are not disturbed by changes around them.45. The purpose of this passage is to tell .A. that people should know the importance of keeping trees healthyB. that people should plant more trees .C. what trees can be used for construction of buildingsD. what kinds of trees look beautifulPassage TwoWhy do we laugh For years scientists have asked themselves, this question. No animals laugh and smile 一 only human beings do. So does laughing help us to live longerThe answer seems t0 11e in that smiling and. laughing help us to become less worried and calm, preventing illnesses that are caused by stress. Laughing is really the best medicine.But if you're unhappy, it can't do you any good to smile, can itThat’s not true. It is clear that smiling works just in the same way whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of students to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear 一 just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were recorded. Most of the feelings they acted didn't cause changes, but when the students smiled, their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. That happened even though they were only acting! So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.Now, what makes us laugh (82) It seems that the answer to the question is far from simple. Everyone likes jokes, but we don't laugh at the same ones. It depends largely on how old we are. There are some jokes, for example, that children love but older people might not find funny.46. In the first paragraph, the underlined word "stress" can be best explained as” .A. surprise and fearB. work and dutyC. happiness and sadnessD. pressure and worry47. Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the passage?A. Laughing helps us to live ten years longer.B. If you are in a bad mood, smiling helps to make you feel relieved.C. Our blood pressure can be influenced by five different facial expressions mentioned.D. People, old and young, are likely to laugh at the same jokes.48. In the passage, the writer seems to pay more attention to.A. how laughing and smiling are connected with healthB. comparing human beings with animalsC. finding out if any research has been done about laughingD. the degree to which laughing and smiling are helpful49. The passage tells us that smiling and laughing .A. have nothing to do with one's heart rateB. do one no good when one is sadC. improve one's blood pressureD. lower one's body temperature50. According to the author,.A. it is rather complicated to answer the question "Why do we laugh"B. it is really simple to answer the question "Why do we laugh"C. it is not necessary to answer the question "Why do we laugh"D. scientists have already answered the question "why do we laugh"Passage ThreeWhen you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambitio n﹒ In most cases, you will visit a likely employer's office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested.(83)The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of your application form and interview.Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job-hunting si t uations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often require letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Therefore, your writing skills may play an important part in obtaining the job you desire.In any job hunting situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters. As an ambitious job-hunter, therefore, you should be able to pre-pare all the written materials that will help you to get the job you want.51. According to the passage, in looking for a job, the students .A. must make an arrangement for an interviewB. may follow their interests and ambitionC. will surely get a chance to improve their positionsD. will always visit every employer's office52.If you want to improve your position and find a better job, it is important t o .A. improve your writing skillsB. make a decision on the basis of your own desireC. get a job related to your educationD. understand the application form of the company53. To find a job, it is NOT necessary for a student to supply .A. a writing sampleB. a letter of applicationC. an application formD. a resume54. Your application for a job should mainly inform the employer of your.A. present position and incomeB. former employersC. background and experienceD. former colleagues55. What may be the best title for this passage?A. How to Complete a Job Application FormB. An Introduction to Job-Hunting SituationsC. Writing Skills Help in Job-HuntingD. An Attempt to Find Better JobsPassage Four(84)Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with their trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for probable metals." Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain region, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible." Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals. " From an airplane over a hill-y wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word, "Uranium. "None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth's surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground 一using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.(85)This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of trees and bushes that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a miner-al search group gathered bags of tree seeds. 130xes were filled with small branches from the trees, and roots were dug out and put intoboxes with each bag and box carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory, the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold inthe roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.If the trees had not indicated that there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging deeper. They did dig and found more gold below. When they dug deeper,they :found large quantities of gold.56. Scientists were flying over a desert, or hilly wasteland, or a mountain region in or-der to search forin the ground.A. treesB. bushesC. seedsD. minerals57. The study of trees, branches, and roots indicates tha t .A. there were larger amounts of gold in the branches than in the seedsB. there were smaller amounts of gold in the roots than in the branchesC. there were larger amounts of gold in the seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks than seedsgrowing on the ends of the branchesD. there were more gold in the branches than in the roots58. Which may be the best title for the passage?A. Scientists Searching for Metals with Special PowerB. New Methods of Searching for Trees and BushesC. Gold Could Be Found by Trees and PlantsD. A New Method of Searching for Minerals: Using Trees and Plants59. Based on the passage, all of the following are mentioned as part of a tree that can help find mineralsEXCEPT FOR..

This examination, often referred to as the "Gaokao," holds immense importance in the lives of Chinese students, as it serves as the primary gateway to accessing the nation's prestigious universities.Shaanxi, a province known for its rich history and cultural heritage, has long been a hub for educational excellence. The region boasts a diverse array of educational institutions, each offering unique opportunities for students to develop their academic and personal skills. The 2014 Undergraduate Entrance Examination in Shaanxi was no exception, as it presented a challenging yet rewarding experience for the thousands of students who participated.One of the key aspects of the examination was the English language component. As a global language, English has become increasingly important in the academic and professional realms, and the Gaokaoexam recognizes its significance. The English section of the exam tested the students' proficiency in various aspects of the language, including reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and written expression.For the aspiring students in Shaanxi, the preparation for the English portion of the Gaokao was a meticulous and often arduous process. Many devoted countless hours to studying grammar rules, expanding their vocabulary, and honing their writing skills.

She knew that the next few hours would be crucial in determining the course of her future. As the English section commenced, Emily applied the strategies she had honed during her preparation, carefully analyzing the questions and formulating her responses with precision.The writing component of the English exam was particularly daunting for Emily, as it required her to compose a well-structured and coherent essay on a given prompt. Drawing on her extensive knowledge and her ability to express her thoughts clearly, Emily crafted a compelling essay that showcased her strong command of the English language.In the weeks that followed the examination, Emily anxiously awaited the results, her heart pounding with anticipation. When the scores were finally released, she was overjoyed to discover that she had excelled in the English section, securing a remarkable score that placed her among the top performers in Shaanxi.Emily's success in the 2014 Undergraduate Entrance Examination wasa testament to her hard work, dedication, and unwavering determination.

Reading Comprehension(50分)阅读4片,样题提供前三篇Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience…not to be inhibited (拘谨;抑制)…not to be nervous…”Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.It is the same in writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.O f course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”4l. The main task of a public speech course is to ________.A. teach spoken-language experienceB. teach how to use gestures to assist speechC. help the learners overcome nervousnessD. teach how to control the volume of the speaker’s voice42.

Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year , experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of ManB. Sources of EnergyC. SeaHarvest D. Sea Exploring Technology47.

The word “exploit” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by________.A.evaluateB. developC. gatherD. scatterPassage ThreeYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is the final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.In l979 almost l5 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if youtravel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.Don’t confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you mustsubmit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.5l. The main purpose of this passage is to___________.A. discuss traveling in other countriesB. distinguish between passports and visasC. discuss the financial uses of a passportD. provide information about passports52. Passports are beneficial for___________.A. exchanging currencyB. using a credit cardC. checking into hotelsD. all of the above53. We can conclude from the passage that_________.A. every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenB. not every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenC. only countries like Argentina, Brazil, andVenezuela now require visas from U.S. citizensD. passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country54. The passage suggests that_________.A. most people don’t realize how important passports areB. passports aren’t important once you are in thecountry you’ve chosen to visitC. passports are simple to obtain through the mailD. passports are obtained at the embassy once youenter a country55. As used in this passage, the word “valid” in the second paragraph means__________.A. foreignB. legalC. monetaryD. illegal III.Cloze (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Practice has shown that China’s endeavor in striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection has been effective.As a member of the international community, China, while making great efforts to protect its own environment, has taken an active part in international environmental protection affairs to promote international cooperation in environmental protection, and earnestly fulfilled her international obligations. All these have given full expression to the sincerity and determination of the Chinese government and people to protect the global environment.Mankind still faces a great many difficulties in solving the problems of the environment and development, and there is a grand task to perform and a long way to go.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneHealthy trees are important to us all. Trees provide shade, beauty, and homes for wildlife. Trees give us products like paper and wood. Trees can give us all these only if they are healthy. They must be well cared for to remain healthy.Your trees' trouble may be you yourself. People spend much time and money planting and maintaining trees. Trees help to improve the looks of homes, parks, and public buildings. Yet, people who love trees the most may be the ones who cause them injury. Of course, they do not do this on purpose. They are most likely not aware of the kinds of things that injure trees. There are many people who cause tree injuries. You should become aware of the injuries and avoid causing them. Learn the things that can help to keep your trees healthy.Healthy trees are beautiful. They make our world a pleasant place to live in. Un-healthy trees are not as beautiful. They make the world less pleasant. Healthy trees help to cool and clean the air. They can even deaden sound. Unhealthy trees cannot help or protect the environment. (81) Trees, like people, are disturbed by changes a-round them. Construction of buildings is a major cause of tree injuries.41.

For years scientists have asked themselves, this question. No animals laugh and smile 一only human beings do. So does laughing help us to live longer? The answer seems t0 11e in that smiling and. laughing help us to become less worried and calm, preventing illnesses that are caused by stress. Laughing is really the best medicine.But if you're unhappy, it can't do you any good to smile, can it? That’s not true. It is clear that smiling works just in the same way whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of students to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear 一just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were recorded. Most of the feelings they acted didn't cause changes, but when the students smiled, their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. That happened even though they were only acting! So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.Now, what makes us laugh? (82) It seems that the answer to the question is far from simple. Everyone likes jokes, but we don't laugh at the same ones. It depends largely on how old we are. There are some jokes, for example, that children love but older people might not find funny.46. In the first paragraph, the underlined word "stress" can be best explained as”.A. surprise and fearB. work and dutyC. happiness and sadnessD. pressure and worry47.

The passage tells us that smiling and laughing .A. have nothing to do with one's heart rateB. do one no good when one is sadC. improve one's blood pressureD. lower one's body temperature50. According to the author,.A. it is rather complicated to answer the question "Why do we laugh?"B. it is really simple to answer the question "Why do we laugh?"C. it is not necessary to answer the question "Why do we laugh?"D. scientists have already answered the question "why do we laugh?"Passage ThreeWhen you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambitio n﹒In most cases, you will visit a likely employer's office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested.(83)The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of your application form and interview.Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job-hunting si t uations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often require letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Therefore, your writing skills may play an important part in obtaining the job you desire.In any job hunting situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters.

An Attempt to Find Better JobsPassage Four(84)Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with their trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for probable metals." Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain region, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible." Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals. " From an airplane over a hill-ywasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word, "Uranium. "None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth's surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground 一using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.(85)This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of trees and bushes that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a miner-al search group gathered bags of tree seeds. 130xes were filled with small branches from the trees, and roots were dug out and put into boxes with each bag and box carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory, the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.If the trees had not indicated that there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging deeper. They did dig and found more gold below. When they dug deeper, they :found large quantities of gold.56. Scientists were flying over a desert, or hilly wasteland, or a mountain region in or-der to search for inthe ground.A. treesB. bushesC. seedsD. minerals57.

Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.At first glance, there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome, but back in the 5th century, it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western Roman Empire. In this city, Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna’s eight buildings from the 5 th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. “ In the past, many people couldn’t read or write, “ says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. “Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people. “Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces. Travel Tips When to Go: June—October: weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups. Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron. How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city. Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a former movie theater, two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco. What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers. What to Read Before You Go: Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis(2010), provides a wide-ranging look at the city’s art, architecture, and history.21.In ancient times, mosaics were used to______.A.display artistic achievementsB.compete with Roman paintingsC.explain religion and politicsD.teach reading and writing正确答案:C22.Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna in______.A.MayB.JuneC.SeptemberD.October正确答案:A23.If you want to try fresh seafood, you should go to______.A.Emilia RomagnaB.Hotel Centrale ByronC.Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD.Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco正确答案:D24.Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?A.Because it was written by a famous writer.B.Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C.Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D.Because it provides useful information about the city’s weather.正确答案:BWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags(摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness: if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight: and if his tail is tucked(塞)behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight. Unlike dogs, cats’ tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out(甩动)his tail. The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs’.25.What does it mean when a dog’s tail is straight?A.It has a lot to say to you.B.It wants to stop fighting.C.It is going to fight.D.It likes to be patted.正确答案:C26.A cat tries to appear big when it is______.A.facing a dangerB.unhappyC.ready to huntD.hungry正确答案:A27.Which of the following does the author intend to say?A.Dogs and cats are not good friends.B.Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C.Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D.Dogs use tail language more than cats.正确答案:D28.In the last paragraph, the underlined word “predators” refers to______.A.animals that follow and obey other animalsB.animals that kill and eat other animalsC.animals that live in the wildD.animals kept by people正确答案:BLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief:Patrick Ryan, 47 , the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month. Editing One Teen Story—the younger sibling(姊妹篇)of One Story magazine—will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It’s really the only magazine for young adult short fiction, “ he says from his office in New York. “ It’s tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it’s forced upon them in schools. “Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn’t carry photographs or advertising. It’s just exactly what it says: one story per issue. Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It’s not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always starts on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ‘ Twilight’ characters and the ‘ Harry Potter’characters, they feel very contemporary. “Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. “I would love to make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody—would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this. “29.Who is Patrick Ryan?A.He is the editor-in-chief of Granta.B.He is the editor-in-chief of One Story.C.He is the editor-in-chief of “Twilight”.D.He is the editor-in-chief of One Teen Story.正确答案:D30.What is One Teen Story?A.It is a story magazine for teenagers.B.It is a London-based literary journal.C.It is a column of a newspaper.D.It is a magazine of science fiction.正确答案:A31.According to Ryan, what attracts young readers most?A.Photographs and illustration.B.Chances and practices in business.C.Characters and stories close to their life.D.Political teachings and moral messages.正确答案:C32.In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “this business” means______.A.reading storiesB.writing storiesC.editing magazinesD.making money正确答案:BCouples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We’re now up to nearly 3. 7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3. 3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child. Financial worries aren’t the only driver. The trend towards later motherhood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring costs of raising a child, which have been calculated as £222, 500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years. The increasing availability of IVF(试管婴儿)is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child. It may not be a bad thing: there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and Al Paci-no, golfer Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showedthat the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection—which sometimes descends into physical fights —is more stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it’s not compensated(弥补)by having a playmate.33.The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to______.A.financial problemsB.technical problemsC.health problemsD.cultural problems正确答案:A34.The passage shows that IVF is______.A.safer than natural pregnancyB.very popular in UKC.very expensiveD.a risky investment正确答案:C35.What is a proved advantage of one-child family?A.Improved family life.B.Higher number of sports stars.C.Efficient family education.D.Promotion of children’s success.正确答案:D36.The findings of the institute at the University of Essex might mean that______.A.the only children’s lack of playmates causes problemsB.the only children are much happier than othersC.parents-children relationship is off balanceD.children have to struggle for parental love正确答案:BAbout 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期). That means they have blood sugar that’s higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2—at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11 % of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probablybecome type 2 in 10 years or less. Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabetes who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels. If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis: Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200. Dropping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%. Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking, playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works, too. Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check. Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-diabetes: 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes: and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucose tolerance and AIC, also are used to monitor blood sugar.37.What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.Pre-diabetes will surely become type 2 diabetes.B.Pre-diabetes is likely to become diabetes within years.C.Enough attention should be paid to the treatment of type 2.D.Pre-diabetes is ranked No. 1 danger threatening Americans’ health.正确答案:B38.To prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis, people with pre-diabetes should pay most attention to______.A.glucose levelsB.exercisesC.heart diseaseD.stroke正确答案:A39.Which of the following suggests that you have pre-diabetes?A.70 mg/dl.B.90 mg/dl.C.110 mg/dl.D.130 mg/dl.正确答案:C40.What column of a newspaper is most likely to have this article?A.Technology.B.Entertainment.C.Education.D.Health.正确答案:DPart IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.The Nobel Prizes are awards that are given each year for special things that people or groups of people have achieved.
