They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husban d.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.36. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”A. A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.B. A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.C. A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.D. A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.37. Why didn’t the father p ick the boy up himself?A. He was very lazy.B. He thought the mother had picked him up.C. He forgot to pick him up.D. He was too tired to do it.38. What can we learn from this passage?A. Be careful in everything you do.B. Love is the most important thing.C. Learn to forgive others.D. Everyone can make mistakes.39. What do you think of the husband?A. Warm-hearted.B. Careful.C. Hard-working.D. Broad-minded.BHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a' superior' around— a parent, a teacher, a boss— who knows better."But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses , A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive— he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.40. The problem the writer talks about is that ________.A. some people buy things they don't wantB. some people are afraid to speak out for their rightsC. there are too many superiorsD. some people don't think enough of themselves41.The cause of the problem talked about in this passage is that ________.A. some people have a low self-respectB. there is always someone around who "knows better"C. salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD. people don t share enough42.The A.T. Courses often ________.A. make people distrust their own answersB. make things more favorable for "superiors"C. help people know as much as their "superiors"D. help people become more important43.A good title for this passage could be "________".A. The Need to ShareB. Talk Back When NecessaryC. One Way to Build Self-RespectD. One Way to Train Speaking AbilityCThe average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1~3 degree over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperature also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10~25 cm in the last 100 years.The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise to one metre this century.Should this come true, millions of homes will be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees" looking for somewhere to live?44.Which of the following is true?A.warmer weather-glaciers melt-water expand-pollutionB.pollution-warmer weather-glaciers melt-water expandC.pollution-water expand-warmer weather-glaciers meltD.glaciers melt-pollution-water expand-warmer weather45.What's the basic reason that globe becomes warmer and warmer?A.Coal, oil and gas.B.CO2.C.Human pollution.D.Greenhouse effect.46.What do you think we should do?A.Not use coal, oil and gas any more.B.Build the house on the mountain.C.Do our best to protect the environment.D.Lower the temperature.DUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages. Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs .Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.47. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A. Using river water.B. Throwing batteries away.C. Paving parking lots.D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.48. What can be inferred from the text?A. All water shortages are due to human behavior.B. It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.C. There is much we can do to reduce family size.D. The average family in America makes proper use of water.49. The last paragraph is intended to .A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. prove what drinking glass is best for usD. suggest what we do to save water at home50. The text is mainly about .A. how human activity affects our water supplyB. how much we depend on water to liveC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. Why paving roads reduces our water评卷人得分四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind of football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering (mountain climbing).Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with much surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This surprise is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity in which men relax themselves.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbe rs, but when climbers are on a rock face joined by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is clearly teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is no unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.36. The main difference between a sport and a game lies in _______.A. uniformB. rulesC. activityD. skills37. Mountaineering is also a team sport because ________.A. it connects to rulesB. it is about matches between teamsC. it needs mental and physical qualitiesD. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing38. Which of the following statements is true? ________A. Mountaineers fight against nature.B. Mountaineers fight against other teams.C. Mountaineers fight against each other.D. Mountaineers fight against international standard.39. The best title for this passage will be _________.A. My favorite mountaineeringB. The required skills of mountain climbingC. Dangerous but attractive mountaineeringD. A sport proper for the old and the youngBHaving friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress(压力)better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone. Make friendship a priority(优先). Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawnmower(剪草机) go unmoving or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together， use the phone to keep in touch.Open up to close friends. Keeping a deep friendship requires a level of“heartfelt intimacy(亲密)”. Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem(自尊) when they are shaken by a job loss，or other such events.Have different friends for different activities，such as going to the movies， singing in a choir， and joining in a bowling league.Don’t wait for a friend to ask a help. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive his or her, children to their after-school activities.Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums，laundry rooms，or bookstores can lead to firm friendships.Enroll in an adult-education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.40. People with dose friends have a ability to fight disease than people who are alone.A. lessB. greaterC. poorerD. little41. According to the passage，you’d better offer advice to your friends .A. at any momentB. only when they are happyC. only when they want itD. only when you are glad42. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. You should have different friends for the same activities.B. You should wait for a friend to ask a help.C. You should not talk with strangers in museums, laundry rooms or bookstores.D. You should never take a friendship for granted.43. The underlined word "Enroll" in the last paragraph means .A. giveB. JoinC. catchD. getCIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has invented another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 minutes to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes. A similar system has been installed inother universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap.C. If money runs out, there will be no water.D. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.45. The underlined word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means_______________.A. perfectionB. advantageC. pityD. fault46. It can be inferred from the passage that_________________.A. the new operation can solve the water crisisB. the new operation can raise students’ environmental awarenessC. a similar operation has been set in other universitiesD. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new systemDIf there is one thing I’m quite sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we still be reading newspapers. Not those newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of the news from the television or have the radio switched on in the background or in the car. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The basic British character won’t change, and one of the characteristics of the British is that we don’t much like talking to each other when we get up. So what better way is there to keep yourself thinking in the morning than to wrap yourself in a newspaper?Over the past couple of centuries, human beings have developed a close relationship with the newspaper. It has become as natural as breathing or enjoying the sun. And it is not just the British who love newspapers. On suburban trains in Calcutta, for instance, just one person in the whole car will buy a newspaper and read aloud the best bits to his fellow passengers,much to everybody’s enjoyment.The nature of what is news may change. What essentially makes news is what affects our lives and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do, whether it’s love or depression. We develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possi ble that in the next century newspaper will be transmitted(传送) electronically from the national equivalents of Fleet Street (伦敦的舰队街，以报馆集中而著称) and printed out in our own homes. In fact, I’m pretty sure that that is how it will happen in future. You’ll be probably selecting from a menu, making up your own bespoke newspaper by picking out the things you want to read and say. You might even have an intelligent screening device (装置) to do the job for you.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media. They actually have a relationship, feeding off each other. It was once predicted that television would kill off newspapers, which hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page is more enduring (持久的) than pictures on a flickering screen or sound lost in the sky. And as for the Internet, it’s never really satisfying to read something just on a screen.47. The author of the passage is most probably from _______________.A. RussiaB. IndiaC. BritainD. America48. According to the passage, the future of newspapers ____________.A. will be mainly connected with scientific researchB. will report more important political activitiesC. will directly cover more on scientific researchD. will build a bridge between different people49. The underlined part “bespoke newspaper” of the passage probably refers to_____________.A. a newspaper which dares to report the truthB. a newspaper edited to one’s own interestC. a newspaper edited and published for the publicD. a newspaper which only covers the life of family members50. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It was centuries ago that newspapers came into being .B. Televisions have taken the place of newspapers .C. The Internet will gradually take the place of newspapers.D. The nature of news may remain the same over generations.四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AA controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligentthan women．The study concluded that men’s IQs are almost four points higherthan women’s.British-born researcher John Philippe Ruston says the finding could explainwhy so few women make it to the top in the workplace. He claims the “glassceiling” phenomenon is probably due to inferior (差的) intelligence，ratherthan lack of opportunity.The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after scrutinizing the results of university ability tests taken by 1 00,000 studentsaged 17 and 18 of both sexes.A focus on the factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept，verbal reasoning skills and creativity― some of the key factors of intelligence ―showed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63points higher. The average person has an IQ around 100.The findings，which held true (适合) for all classes and levels of education,overturn (推翻) 100-year opinion that men and women average the same in generalmental ability. They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in schoolexams than boys.But Professor Ruston argues that the faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining (胜过) boys in the classroom.36. The report is mainly about ______.A. a study that shows men are cleverer than womenB. the “glass ceiling” phenomenonC. Professor Ruston’s theory on IQD. the difference between male and female37. The underlined word “scrutinizing” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. making upB. carrying outC. looking atD. examining carefully38. We can infer that the average woman has an IQ of ______.A. a little less than 100B. 100C. more than 100D. 96.3739. Which of the following opinions does Professor Ruston NOT accept?A. Men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.B. Few women make it to the top in the workplace.C. Men and women average the same in general mental ability.D. The faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining boys in the classroom.BSome people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim( 苗条) withoutany effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it.The question is : what can they do about it? Some believe exercise can behelpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You mightsweat out (减去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, butyou put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food - choosing. But what sort of food should you choose?Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like. It' s straight —forward and often quite effective. Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.40. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that____________A. it makes you sweatB. it' s hard workC. it tires you outD. it makes you eat more41. The practical method suggested in this passage means___________.A. sticking to bananasB. not eating many carbohydratesC. eating things that are hard to digestD. eating as little as possible42. A calorie is a unit(单位) of_____________.A. weightB. powerC. electricityD. heat43. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Various Ways of Losing WeightB. Don't Eat Too MudC. Ways to Keep FitD. Food and HealthCIn every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart towear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive carsat seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher.Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, have the courage to bow out mannerly. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.44. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the Lead.B. Top Crowd.C. Being Yourself.D. Bright Red.45. The author doesn’t think it good wearing red sweaters if ________.A. the crowd does itB. you can’t afford themC. you don’t look good in redD. the situation isn’t safe46. According to the passage, people who follow the crowd ________.A. sometimes do things against their better judgmentB. make mistakes blindlyC. are willing to put their lives in dangerD. will in the end become pace-settersDThe Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.The fire started on Sunday mor ning in the house of the King’s baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning.By eight o’ clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “People threw theirthings into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was the new St Paul’s Cathedral.The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.47．The fire began in .A．a hotel B．the palace C．Pudding Lane D．Thames Street48．The underlined word‘family’in the second paragraph means .A．home B．children C．wife and husband D．wife and children 49．It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that .A．some people lost their livesB．the birds in the sky were killed by the fireC．many famous buildings were destroyedD．the King’s bakery was burned down50．Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?A．Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B．Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C．To show that poor people suffered most.D．To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life ---no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. The diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 3037.

A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.40. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.41. According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavor each day42. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.43. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool JobCWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.44. If your American or English friend wants to invite you to dinner, he will invite you _________A. on the night before the dinnerB. on the day before the dinnerC. at the last momentD. a week before the dinner45. It would be impolite to _____.A. put bones on your plates with fingersB. persuade others to drink moreC. drink soup with your spoonD. make sure that there is nothing left on your face after dinner46. Which of the following is not true?A. After dinner, you'd better stay and talk with your friends for a long time to show your thanks.B. You'd better ring your friend the next day to show your thanks.C. After dinner, you'd better leave in half an hour.D. After dinner, use napkin to clean your mouth.DWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.47. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.48. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.49. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker50. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you are likely to grow up being a big fun of that football team. And if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying books everywhere you go, just like she does. Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with yourparents.1.Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoy ing each other’s company(陪伴)? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.2.Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad may not know that you are having a problem. Tell a parent if you are sad or struggling with something.3.Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.4.Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you are turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.36. The first paragraph mainly tells us___________.A. the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football teamB. the kid will like reading if his or her mother likesC. parents influence(影响) their kids greatly.D .we should follow our parents’ hobbies.37. In the third paragraph, the author suggests that ____________.A .you keep your parents company all the timeB. you stay at home with your parentsC .you do something together with your parents.D. you enjoy games when your parents watch TV38. The underlined part “they’re doing a good job” means_____________.A .they have very good jobsB. their jobs can bring the family much moneyC. they make you become a great kidD. they make you find a good job.39. The text intends to（旨在）tell us______________.A .parents are important to everyoneB. how we get along with our parentsC .to respect our parentsD. to share feelings with our parentsBEvery person is unique (独特的) and so are our sleep needs. But in today’s busy world, how much sleep should we be getting each night? Research suggests that most healthy adults need seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Children and teens need even more sleep than adults. The following is a breakdown of the recommended (推荐) number of hours of sleep people need by age:INFANTS(0 to 2 months): .........................15 to 18 hours(2-12 months): ...........................14 to 15 hoursCHILDREN(12-18 months): ........................13 to 15 hours(18 months-3 years): .................12 to 14 hours(3-5 years): ................................11 to 13 hours(5-12 years): ...............................9 to 11 hoursTEENS(13-19 years): .............................8.5 to 9.5hoursADULTS(more than 20 years): .................7 to 9 hoursAs children grow, they go through many changes, including changes in sleep. Children and teens, like adults, need a regular sleep and wake timetable, even on weekends. Sleep should follow a relaxing bedtime plan. The bedroom should be cool, dark and quiet. Getting a good night’s rest may become more difficult as they grow older because of more responsibilities (责任) and activities, the influence of TV, computers and so on. However, sleep is still an important part of teens’ health and overall quality of life. So, how do teens measure how much sleep they need? If a teen has trouble staying awake during school, they probably are not getting enough quality sleep.Most sleep problems are treatable. If teens are having trouble in getting enough sleeps they need, it is important to see a doctor or other health experts.404.

The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.Facing the blue Mediterranean（地中海）, Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince（王子） stands, and Monte Carlo（蒙特卡洛）, which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own.

If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.A. only pass the interview.B. only take the national exam.C. only take the independent exam.D. either take the national exam or take the independent exam.37. What’s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?A. It can reduce students’ load to take several exams.B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.C. There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.38. If students pass the independent exam, they will ______.A. take the national exam.B. have one or more interview chances.C. be admitted to one of the universities.D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.39. What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?A. Students needn’t take the national exam.B. Students ’education cost can be lowered.C. Students’ abilities and talents can be better found.D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.BThe United Nations is warning that the world is not prepared to deal with the fast growth of cities. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013 calls for new ways to meet the needs of city populations. More than 6.5 billion people are expected to be living in cities by 2050.Most new city dwellers will be in developing countries. The United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge. The World Economic and Social Survey points to the increasing demand for energy, water, sanitation, public services, education and health care.The world population is expected to rise to more than nine billion by 2050, two-thirds of all people are expected to live in cities. The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.The report says sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination and investments to deal with important issues, these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.Willem Van Der Geest is with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, he says cities need to work closely with rural communities, so that food supplies can be secured, and the environment can be protected."We need enough integration(整合，融合) with cities... An integration between the rural and urban economies is absolutely vital for issues of nutrition, food security, and environmental sustainability."The report says development in a sustainable（可持续发展）way is important to end poverty. The report also examines the problem of food insecurity, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. One in eight people still severely lack nutrition.UN officials say some things are clear. The Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Shamshad Akhtar, says world food production will have to increase by 70%, that increase will be needed to feed the additional 2.3 billion people expected on the planet by the middle of the century. She says an important part of meeting that need is to waste less food. "There has to beefforts to reduce food wastage. ."Food and nutrition security are core elements of the sustainable development agenda.40. The survey includes the following statements except that ______.A. varieties of demands are hard to meet because of the increasingpopulation in Africa and Asia.B. one way to put an end to poverty is to be able to develop for a long time.C. transportation is an important issue to deal with when it comes tosustainable development of urban areas.D. hundreds of millions of people around the world are affected by theproblem of food insecurity.41. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. cities grow so fast that the world can’t find out new ways to deal withthe growing population.B. the growing city dwellers who mainly come from the developing countriesgreatly challenge limited resources in the world.C. sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination andinvestments to deal with important issuesD. food wastage is an effective way to feed the additional 2.3 biilionpeople by the middle of the century.42. What is the best titile of the passage?A. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013.B. City Population Will Increase to 9 Billion.C. Cities Need to Cooperate with Rural Areas.D. The World Is Not Prepared to Deal with the Fast Growth of Cities.43. The passage is chosen from ______.A. a textbookB. a travel guideC. a novelD. a newspaperCI used to think education was the most impotant thng in my life . Recently my attitude has began to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn Enlish well. Standing in front of my people,I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my specch ,leaving everyone puzzled. I criedthat night in my room ,feeling that I was a loser.Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school,but they don’t show anything about me.I am just storing knowledge,yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good change to get to know society.44、From the passage we can learn that the author______.es to know how important it is to make some moneyB.realizes that it is more impotant to develop oneself than just to learn knowledgeC.does not think education is the most important thing in his life any moreD.thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education45.

I feel bad for her. I can tell that she just wants to be around her big brother. The look on Nita’s face reminds me o f the look on T.J’s face earlier in the evening . Now I don’t feel so good about T.J’s silence at the dinner table.When Brad and I finish working on the project, I see Nita in the front of the room .She still looks sad.“Hey, Nita! Do you know what the hamburger named his daughter ?” I ask.“I don’t know. What?” Nita “Patty!”Nita laughs and I laugh too . “ I heard that from my brother, T.J,” I say. “He’s very funny.When I get home, T.J still looks unhappy.“T.J, guess what ?” I say. “I used one of your riddles tonight.Brad’s little sister thought it was really funny. So let’s find more riddles for the next time I go over there.
