Grammar and vocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Your comfort zone is basically all of the situation in which you feel confident and “at home”; for example, doing the job you’ve done for a long time, (21)________（socialize）with a group of people you know well or living in a place you (22)________(live）all your life.Stepping out of your comfort zone, for example, starting a new job, going to a party where you don’t know anyone or moving to another part of the country, can be frightening, but (23)________ you do so, your confidence grows.Confident people also have comfort zones, but the difference between them and people (lack) (24)________confidence is (25)________they are willing to take risks and try new things (26)______ ______ ______ their fears.Confidence comes from taking action, not from inaction; each time you succeed in doing something (27)________ you fear, your comfort zone will expand. If you drive, think of your first driving lesson – probably you (28)________(terrify) at the thought of driving 100 meters – but as you gradually improved your skills, your confidence grew and now you could probably drive 100 miles (29)________ worrying.If you lack confidence, you may find yourself (30)________(stick) in a situation you are unhappy with – such as being in a relationship that is no longer working, spending hours travelling to work on the bus or train because you fear learning to drive, or doing a job you dislike or find fulfilling --- because you are too afraid to take the first step towards changing your life.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid-off co-workers out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves 31 more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter: compared with people who are straight-up laid off, those who keep their job but under a constant threat of losing it suffer a great 32 _ in mental well-being.Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show 33 levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person’s mental health may “bottomout” after about six months, and then even begin to improve, the mental state of people who are 34 worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse”, Burchell says.Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of 35 because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety, for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from—even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the 36___ continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight” response, which leads to 37 stress.But not every employee in insecure industries has such a 38 view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly __39 , women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job — it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure — gives psychological im provement over unemployment.” Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the 40 breadwinner, and that more of a man’s self-worth depends on his job.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.As computer technology has improved, today’s online environment s have become more complex and realistic. One website that has 41 over six million Internet users is Second Life. Second Life is a three-dimensional (3-D) online world where people work, shop, sell and trade items, meet others, go to concerts and much more. Users, who are called “residents,” create their own characters, or “avatars,” They use their avatars to 42 Second Life’s virtual world.Just like any country, Second Life has its own 43 . Using a credit card, userscan buy “Linden Dollars,” the official currency of Second Life. With Linden dollars, they can 44 land or even an entire island where they can build and decorate their own house. Land is treated as a valuable commodity （商品） in Second Life. Residents can choose to rent or sell their land to other users, and they can earn real money from these 45 _ .When residents want to be 46 , they can use their avatars to interact with others. There are games, shopping malls, clubs, and many kinds of stores 47 to residents. With so many op portunities for interesting things to do and see, it’s easy to see why so many users devote so much time to the site.Second Life offers users a quick and easy 48 from the real world. Many residents see this as one of the main 49 of using the site. Spending time on Second Life allows them to escape the stresses and problems of their daily lives. If a user is having a stressful day at work, she can visit a beautiful island, go skiing, or even fly to another planet during her lunch break.50 escaping the stress of their daily lives, users can also escape who they are in the real world and live out their fantasies. 51 , residents can change their occupations, physical appearance, and even their nationalities. A doctor from the United States can be a Brazilian musician on Second Life. 52 , Second Life lets users live in a world without 53 .Although Second Life started as a way for people to escape the real world, it has become more and more 54 to the real world in many ways. Now on Second Life, some countries have virtual embassies, businesses have meetings in 55 rooms, and universities have places where students can view the campus and take classes. Today, Second Life allows users to experience both fantasy and reality in the same place.41. A. persuaded B. devoted C. attracted D. contacted42. A. explore B. create C. fight D. approach43.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Behind most of the bad things we do to our bodies as adults, eating more than we should is the idea we carry with us from childhood. On one hand, we assume that we are indestructible. On the other hand, we think that any damage we impose on ourselves can be undone when we finally clean up our act.If the evidence for how wrong the first idea is isn’t apparent when you stand naked in front of the mirror, just wait. But what if you eat right and drop all your bad habits? Is there still time to repair the damage?To a surprising degree, the answer is yes. Over the past five years, scientists have collected a wealth of data about what happens when aging people with bad habitsdecide to turn their lives around.The heartening conclusion: the body has an amazing ability to heal itself, provided the damage is not too great.The effects of some bad habits —smoking, in particular—can haunt you for decades. But the damage from other habits can be largely healed.“Any time you improve your behavior and make lifestyle changes, they make a difference from tha t point on.” says Dr. Jeffrey Koplan. “Maybe not right away. It’s like slamming on the brakes. You do need a certain distance. ”But the distance can be remarkably short. Consider the recent announcements from the front lines of medical research:—A study concluded that women who consume as little as two servings of fish a week cut their risk of suffering a stroke to half that of women who eat less than one serving of fish a month.—The day you quit smoking, the carbon monoxide levels in your body drop dramatically. Within weeks, your blood becomes less sticky and your risk of dying from a heart attack starts to decline…Adopting healthy habits won’t cure all that bothers you, of course. But doctors believe that many chronic diseases—from high blood pressure to heart disease and even some cancers—can be warded off with a few sensible changes in lifestyle.Not sure where to start? Surprisingly, it doesn’t matter, since one positive change usually leads to another. Make enough changes, and you’ll discover you’ve adopted a new way of life.56. Most people with bad habits of eating more than they should believe that ______.A. they can never change the habits that have haunted them for decadesB. their bodies cannot be damaged by the bad habitsC. their bodies can heal all the damage without the help from outsideD. they can force themselves to clean up the had habits later57. The evidence against the assumption that we are indestructible_____.A. is seldom apparentB. is clearly shown in the mirrorC. will appear obvious sooner or laterD. is still a question58. According to the recent announcements______.A. women should eat as much fish as possibleB. women are at a higher risk of suffering a stroke than menC. men don’t have to eat as much fish as womenD. eating a little more fish can improve women’s health59. It is implied in the passage that______ .A. smokers have lower levels of carbon monoxide than non-smokersB. the blood of smokers is more sticky than that of non-smokersC. smokers will be unlikely to die from heart attack if they quit smokingD. chronic diseases can be cured if we drop our habit of smoking（B）Beijing is hardly alone in its air pollution problems. The world Health Organization has sa id that roughly half of the world’s urban population is exposed to pollution at least 2.5 times higher than it recommends.While it may take years to fix this global problem, innovative minds in the Asia region have come up with creative solutions for living with air pollution.DIY PurifierThomas Talhelm started worrying about the air inside his Beijing homeduring “airpocalypse”(空气末日) in 2013 when Beijing’s air qualityindex skyrocketed to a terrifying 755.The scholar couldn’t afford the luxury of an expensive air purifier. “Filters (过滤器) are actually very simple—a high efficient filter is all you needto get over 96% of the PM2.5,” he said.With three of his friends, Talhelm created Smart Air, an air purifier consisting of a basic household fan with a high efficient filterattached to it.It works as efficiently as the big brands selling for thousands of dollars, removing more than 90 percent of PM2.5 in your room, accordingto Talhelm’s research.Invisible MaskInfipure’s “nose mask”claims to cut 99% of PM2.5 without thetrouble of a surgical face mask.The filters, made from special materials, are inserted into your nose and aim to be undetectable.“People care about their health, but don’t want all the downsides that come with a traditional face mask,” Infipure co-founder Francis Law explained.Plant BackpackTaiwanese artist Chui Chih has designed a survival device for anapocalyptic world. Named Voyage on the Planet, a potted plant is housedinside a clear backpack hooked up to two tubes to bring fresh air to a face mask. It’s a bold, abstract idea from an oxygen tank.Smog VacuumDaan Roosegaarde has been working on a smog vacuum that will suckpollutants from the sky to the ground like a vacuum, making way for cleanair.A byproduct of this smog vacuum, namely The Smog Free Tower, is the “smog ring”—a piece of jewelry made from smog particulates(微粒).“The pollution we suck up, the small particulates, we don’t throw them away. We put them under pressure for a couple of weeks and theycrystallize(结晶), creating something like a diamond,” Roosegaardeexplains.60. Thomas Talhelm invented Smart Air for all the following reasons except _______.A. the high price of the big brandsB. the poor quality of the indoor airC. the help from three of his friendsD. the simple principle behind the device61. If someone wants to travel around in those polluted days, which product will he most probably choose for the sake of convenience?A. SmartAir.B. The Smog Free Tower.C. Voyage on the Planet.D. Infipure’s nose mask.62. In which solution the inventor also makes use of the dust collected from the polluted air?A. Invisible Mask.B. Smog Vacuum.C. Plant Backpack.D. DIY Purifier.（C）A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists have argued that this“play”is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls to the ground—and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not float in mid-air, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing this basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory that a baby will come to acceptthe idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for ex ample, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate. Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world —is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive (认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that chi ldren are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”63. According to some developmental psychologists, _________.A. a baby’s play is nothing more than a game.B. scientific r esearch into babies’ games is possibleC. the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigatedD. a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment64. We learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB. scientists and babies often interact with each otherC. babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do65. Children may learn the rules of language by________.A. exploring the physical worldB. investigating human psychologyC. repeating their own experimentsD. observing their parents’ behaviors66. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The world may be more clearly explained through chi ldren’s play.B. Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.D. One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentences to fill in the blanks and complete the passage. There are two extra sentences you do not need.Who Writes the President's Speeches?The president of the United States must be an orator. The president gives an annual address on the State of the Union and speaks at the inauguration and other special events. ____67____ In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln spoke fewer than 300 words, but those words have become immortal. Franklind. Roosevelt set the standard for later presidents in his 30 “fireside chats”, which aired on the radio and dealt with the Great Depression and World War II.Beginning with George Washington, American presidents often sought assistance with the content and wording of their speeches, although they may have done the writing themselves.____68____ The first President to assign the task of speechwriting to an aide, however, was Calvin Coolidge(1923-1929), the laconic president whose nickname was "Silent Cal”. The aides name was Judson Welliver. (Today, there is a bipartisan organization for former presidential speechwriters, the Judson Welliver Society.) Since the middle of the twentieth century, the role of such speechwriters has expanded;the Executive branch now includes an Office of Speechwriting as part of its Department of Communications, Speechwriting and Media Affairs.____69____ In his inaugural speech, John F. Kennedy urged Americans “Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country”. George H. W. Bush, in his inaugural speech, imagined community volunteers and organizations as “a thousand points of light”. Both of these phrases originated with the gifted men and women who worked as the president's speechwriters.The process of drafting a presidential speech is long and complicated, and different presidents make different contributions. Some write large portions of the text and invite criticism from aides and advisers; others ask speechwriters to draft a speech in its entirety, and then they edit it to their own satisfaction. ____70____ The final product, whatever the process, must “sound” like the person who speaks the words. As one speech writer recently said, “Our concern was not to write a good speech, but to write a good speech that is also his speech”.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it’s better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they can’t make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste.” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly.Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives.Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is knownto all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter.In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. Yet, much s tress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace.第 II 卷（共40分）I.

They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I’m so embarrassed,” theysaid as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in adva nce. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.

His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t wanta nything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love!

But now a studyhas found it really does help people nod off —if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovere d that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked b oth during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.28.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk _________.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later29. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It’s used in sleeping drugs.D. It exists in milk in great amount.30. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health31. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.DSeveral years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened：my father did not reach for the check.Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed. I was an adult. I was no longer a kid (child).Some people mark off (区分) their lives in years, I measure mine in small events.I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16,but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister”. These events in my life are called “milestones”(里程碑).There have been other milestones. The cops (policemen) of my youth always seemedbig, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra attracts me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this sum mer I found myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, feel close to my ancestors long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son. I’ll still lose….One day I bought a house. One day－What a day!－I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too, another milestone．32.The tone established in the passage is one of ________.A.sad regretB. amusementC. happinessD. deep feeling33. The author mentions the event in the restaurant because ________.A. that was one of his milestonesB. he paid the bill but he didn’t want toC. he became a father with dollarsD. that was the last restaurant meal with his parents34. “Then they were suddenly neither” suggests that ________.A. suddenly they became older than I wasB. suddenly I knew that they were neither bigger nor older than I wasC. suddenly I realized that I made a mistakeD. suddenly I found myself no longer a kid35. Which of the following best expresses the author’s thinking?A. One day is worth two tomorrows.B. To save time is to lengthen life.C. Time and tide wait for no man.D. When an opportunity is lost, it never comes back to you.第二节（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填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The public would lose trust in the company.Some people say this will not happen. They say Microsoft sent out several thousand copies of their new product to computer experts to test several months before it was released. Problems that these testers found were immediately corrected. Microsoft representatives are working to solve all the other problems buyers find when they try the new system. Computer industry experts say that if there are no major problems Microsoft can expect to earn about 7 thousand million dollars from Windows 95 in the first two years. The experts say this could be just a beginning for Microsoft and the whole computer industry. The experts say Windows 95 can help the user do many different and difficult tasks. They say this means the sale of more powerful computers and other computer products will increase as people learn about the new Microsoft product. Other companies say Windows 95 is not a big improvement. The Apple Computer Company says its Mackintosh Operating System has been able to do many of the same things since 1989. For example, it has been able to let users work two different programs at the same time. The Amega Computer also has offered this for almost ten years. And IBM says the operating system it developed about 7 years ago is very similar.41. In the passage the writer .A. thinks Windows 95 will be a successB. is doubtful about what Microsoft Company has promisedC. shows no opinion of his ownD. is advertising Windows 95 for Microsoft Company42.

Windows 95 will help sell more powerful computersB“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,” says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is whatevery writer should be doing. “If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed,” she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only t he meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I fel t that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back,”she said. “Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.”44. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.B. It should be attractive to young readers.C. It should be based on original ideas.D. It should not include too much conversation.45. In Mollie Hunter's opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?A. Being poor in life experience.B. Being short of writing skills.C. The weakness of description.D. The absence of a story.46. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?A. She didn't expect to become a writer.B. She didn't enjoy writing stories.C. She didn't have any particular ambitions.D. She didn't respect her teacher's views.47. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are .A. more intelligentB. better informedC. less eager to learnD. less interested in reality48. What's the writer's purpose in this text?A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers.CThere are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they havean audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.49. The main purpose of this text is to give information about .A. museums throughout the worldB. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.C. art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD. latest development of computer art50. To see the art in FIU museum, you need .A. floppy discsB. a computer and a printerC. pictures and drawings on paperD. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line51. The museum was started when .A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientistsB. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artistsC. art students needed a place to show their worksD. computer scientists wanted to do something about art52. The words“an audience”in the last paragraph refer to .A. art studentsC. exhibits in the museumD. those who will enjoy art第五节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(2分)Peter: 53Monica: Yes, but not here. 54 I don’t like eating standing up.Pater: There is another restaurant over there.Monica: 55 Only the rich man can afford to eat there.

In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻）deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always knowing she was an outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “ Maybe he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft and gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greetings each morning. Our friendship with Bob continuedfor many years. But the sweetest day is the day when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift--- a book on identifying various plants and trees. There, tucked in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they first met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all those years.5.What puzzled the girl?A.The cause of the man’s sadness.B.The shadows in the man’s eyes.C.The man’s sitting still on the steps.D.The man’s not answering her greeting.6.How did the author feel when his daughter gave the red leaf to the man?A. ProudB. NervousC. EmbarrassedD. Comfortable7.Why did Bob keep that little red leaf?A. It was care from a girl.B. It was a symbol of enthusiasm.C. It was a reminder of his painful days.D. It represented the knowledge of trees.8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Simple Red LeafB. A Strange NeighborC. An Unusual FriendD. A Greeting From a GirlCBelgium is divided into three communities. Each one has its own language and traditions. But the people of Belgium are united in their love for Belgian potato fries. The fries are prepared and sold the same way in all areas of the country.The Reuters news service reports that potatoes reached Belgium in the 16th century. But it was not until the 19th century that restaurants and others began selling fried potatoes throughout the country as a separate meal.Recently, a Belgian group launched a campaign aimed at getting the United Nations to recognize the popular treat. The group wants the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to place the food on its cultural heritage(遗产) list.The UNESCO list recognizes more than 300 objects, beliefs, and practices. They include Turkish coffee and the traditional Chinese theater known as Peking Opera. The list also includes a dance, the Argentiniantango, and the singing of the Aka pygmies of the Central African Republic. UNESCO says the list is “made up of intangible heritage elements (非物质文化遗产元素）that help show the diversity of heritage and raise awareness about its importance”.Belgian potato fries are traditionally sold in a paper wrapper, or cone, in a “frikot”. There are about 5,000 fritkots in Belgium. That means they are 10 times more common than McDonald’s restaurants in the United States. The national organization of fritkot owners says the small, often unfurnished buildings are much like Belgium itself. It says these buildings combine the country’s acceptance of disorder with a dislike of structures that all look the same. The group says 95 percent of Belgians visita fried potato hut at least once a year.9.Belgian potato fries ________.A.were recognized by UNESCOB.are well received in BelgiumC.are sold in all food stores.D.didn’t become a separate meal until the 16th century.10.What’s the aim of the Belgian group?A. To place Belgian potato fries on the cultural heritage list.B. To prevent other countries producing Belgian potato fries.C. To show the diversity of Belgian foods.D. To prove the popularity of Belgian foods.11.Which of the following is NOT listed in the UNESCO list?A. Peking Opera.B. The Argentinian tango.C. Turkish coffeeD. American restaurants.12.What does the underlined word “fritkot” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. A simple house which is used to live inB. A kind of small, unfurnished building.C. A place where machines are used to make goods.D. A piece of paper, plastic, or thin metal that covers something.DRun out of cooking oil or need some dressing for your salad? The solution may be insects from your backyard! Scientists are turning insects into a source of healthy oil. Even though insects are a food source in some parts of the world, to many people, the thought of eating them is very disgusting.“In the western countries, there is no culture of eating entire insects, so when the idea is to use the protein in powder as an ingredient, people might tend to receive this better protein even if they can’t see it,”said researcher Daylan Tzompas-Sosa. “There are many uses for the oil in general, but we are investigating the use of these oils for a food, as a food ingredient.”The Mexican researcher, working in the Netherlands, said insects are a great source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which can help treat anxiety disorder symptoms. Backing up the increased reliance on insects is the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. In a 2013 report, the UN agency allowed the cultivation of bugs as a food source, saying it’s environmentally friendly and could boost the world’s food production.There are clear reasons that experts advise people to eat the insects. Experts say insects require little food to grow and the backyard can be a good place to raise them. And there’s no shortage of protein-rich insects, which contain fat, vitamins, fiber and minerals.Researchers say different bugs provide unique tastes and textures. “This is very liquid and it has a different color, so this can be used as a dressing and it’s easy to use and this can be used for pastry, because for pastry you need hard fats,” stated Tzompas-Sosa.But not all insects produce good oil. Cockroaches don’t. The bug oils must be tested to make sure they are safe to consume. But getting over the “ick factor” may be a bigger challenge.13.What is the author’s attitude towards the use of bug oils？A.DoubtfulB. ObjectiveC. SupportiveD. Unfavorable.14.Why do experts suggest eating the insects?A.They are rich in minerals.B.They have different colors.C.They taste good.D.They’re easy to raise.15.From the last paragraph, we can learn that __________.A.all insects cannot produce good oilB.the bug oils are the most deliciousC.it’s safe to consume the bug oilsD.the use of bug oils is banned第二节(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。

AMany countries follow special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take ch ildren’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.1.In Vietnam, if a child’s tooth falls out, he or she will __________.A.throw it onto the roof of a houseB.feed it to a mouseC.put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dogD.leave it to the Tooth Fairy2.From the last paragraph, we can know that in France and the USA _________.A.a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillowB.the Tooth Fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnightC.the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth awayD.No one knows for sure what the Tooth Fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away3.The passage is mainly about ___________.A.customs about fallen teeth in western countriesB.customs about fallen teeth in different countriesC.stories about human teethD.stories about some animalsBAlmost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business.Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers whythey weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this ar m is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.4. What do the underlined words “ chrome-plated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Baskets.B. Private cars.C.Suitcases.D. Shopping carts.5.What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention?A.It was to prove him to be a good inventor.B.It was to reduce the burden of his employees' work.C.It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.D.It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.6.Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order toA.attract people to buy things in his marketB.encourage people to use his shopping cartsC.make his market different from the othersD.keep the groceries from being stolen7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.B.Goldman's invention will be regarded as the greatest one in AmericaC.Supermarketbusiness has benefited a lot from Goldman's invention.D.There will be nothing that can replace Goldman's invention.CThe Exterminating Angel Director: Luis Bunuel Country/Date : Mexico/1962 (black and white) Introduction : A partyis organized in a high class society house.

They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem. First, the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next, the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific. Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not workbecause there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.11..What is the best title for this passage?A. Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s B icycleB. Possible Ways to Problem-solvingC. Necessities of Problem AnalysisD. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem12. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except:A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistake13.. By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.15. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _____.A. in the long runB. in detailC. in a wordD. in the end第二节（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。

But the students did not work with the boys and girls at a traditional school. Every Thursday night, they have been meeting at a laundromat, a place where people go to wash their clothes. At the same time, the students are carrying out a marketing plan they designed for the laundromat.The program began with just five children, but has grown to about 20. Before the program works, the business was so bad that the owner had even considered closing his business, which is why the group came in. They were writing a marketing plan to give people a reason to keep coming to the laundromat. Then one student said, “There’re a lot of children hanging around. Why don’t we add teaching?”The project is part of an international program called Enactus. It was started in the United States 40 years ago. The project is now at more than 1,700 colleges in 36 countries.

I liked the store because it offered flexible(灵活的) hours, and it allowed me to work while still taking an active role at home as a wife and mother. The store was even right next to my son’s kindergarten.After a year, my boss offered me a chance to manage a Walmart 40 miles away. It had been a problem store for years. The previous two managers had not been successful. The distance and the larger size of the store would mean much more time and energy from me. The new job would be a great challenge. I told my boss I needed to think about it.Driving home, my immediate thought was, “No way!” If two men couldn’t run this store, what made me think I could do it while being a wife and mother? I had far less experience than either of the two previous managers.I got home and consulted my husband, who I thought would have the same response as I did. But he didn’t. He said I should accept the new role, and he offered to do more around the house to help me succeed in it. I called my parents, again hoping that they would talk me out of it. To my shock, they also said I should go for it. They said I was exactly what that store needed.Now, I have been at this Walmart for 10 months. I am proud to say we have changed from being one of the worst stores in our area to one of the best. I am so happy thatI said no to my own doubt and yes to a new challenge.8.

However, the phone battery (电池) may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s imposs ible to get the battery charged (充电) at the beach. What’ s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for th e device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”12.
