AClose your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.With existing medical knowledge and skills, two-thirds of the world’s 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries possess most of this knowledge, while developing countries do not.ORBIS is an international non-profit organization which operates the world’s only flying teaching eye hospital. ORBIS intends to help fight blindness worldwide. Inside a DC-8 aircraft, there is a fully-equipped teaching hospital with television studio and classroom. Doctors are taught the latest techniques of bringing sight back to people there. Project ORBIS also aims at promoting peaceful cooperation among countries.ORBIS tries to help developing countries by providing training during three-week medical programs. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year. ORBIS has conducted 17 plane programs is China so far. For the seven to ten million blind in China ORBIS is planning to do more for them. At the moment an ORBIS is working on a long-term plan to develop a training center and to provide eye care service to Shanxi Province. ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.For just US$38, you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again. Your money can open their eyes to the world. Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.11. The first paragraph is intended to ______.A．introduce a new way of readingB．advise the public to lead a simple lifeC．direct the public’s attention to the blindD．encourage the public to use imagination12. What do we learn about existing medical knowledge and skills in the world？A．They are adequate. B．They have not been updated.C．They are not equally distributed. D．They have benefited most of the blind.13. ORBIS aims to help the blind by ______.A．teaching medical students B．training doctors and nursesC．running flying hospitals globally D．setting up non-profit organization14. What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?A．Appeal for donations. B．Make an advertisement.C．Promote training programs. D．Show sympathy for the blind.15. What can be the best title for the passage?A．ORBIS in China B．Fighting BlindnessC．ORBIS Flying Hospital D．Sight-seeing TechniquesBBlind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could crea te my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”16. Imitation proves useful when you _______.A．know you are unique B．lose the balance of lifeC．begin to learn something new D．get tired of routine practice17. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.A．forget daily fear and painB．choose the right exampleC．ask others for decisionsD．stay away from stars18. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are _______.A．desperate to influence others with their knowledgeB．ready to turn their original ideas into realityC．eager to discover what their ancestors didD．willing to accept others’ ideas19. The trouble a creator faces is ________.A．the lack of strong motivationB．the absence of practical ideasC．how to search for more materialsD．how to use imagination creatively20. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To highlight the importance of creativity.B．To criticize the characters of role models.C．To compare imitation with creation.D．To explain the meaning of success.CLarry was on another of his underwater expeditions (探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adv entures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was,how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.21. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A．His daughter had grown up.B．He had become a famous diver.C．His father would dive with him.D．His daughter would dive with him.22. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A．Larry had some privileges (特权).B．Larry liked the rented diving suits.C．Divers had to buy diving equipment.D．Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.23. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A．To protect himself from danger.B．To dive into the deep water.C．To admire the underwater view.D．To take photo more conveniently.24. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A．Larry didn’t wear a watch.B．Larry was not good at math.C．Larry had a poor memory.D．Larry enjoyed the adventure.25. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?A．Become a successful diver.B．Make a good diving guide.C．Take a lot of photo underwater.D．Have longer hours of training.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with theworld-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personalitycan even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or teamsports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upsetover an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an“all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality typeis known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, thiscan cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plantoo strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body,especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them fromseeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals,especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports andgroup gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socialising with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any othertypical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modestyoungster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and firstfull-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parentsdownplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as“little Mozart” by the musicworld Alma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.How ever, Alma’s abilities onl y gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents u nhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to b e little Alma.”Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in t he United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented chan ge. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid paceof substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need tokeep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology isintroduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productiv ity improvements help raise workers’salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut,and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’milk forhealth reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, theseshortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becomingincreasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. ForGandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five yearsearlier due to environmental andanimal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love ofcheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some“really bad”dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realisticalternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolatingcow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to producethe necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process invo lved mixing the proteins with someplant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf lifeand, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when comparedto conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhousegas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since itcontains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which meansvegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product willmost likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available toconsumers.32. The underlined word"those"in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC.productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’smilk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows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。

A．Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss．B．Large, flat，black surfaces need to be built in cities．C．The Dutch engineer’s system has been widely used．D．Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads．47．For what purpose are the diving pipes used？A．To absorb heat from the sun． B．To store heat for future use．C．To turn solar energy into heat energy．D．To carry heat down below the surface．48．From the last paragraph we can learn that ________．A．some pipes have to be re—arranged in winterB．the system can do more than warming up the buildingC．the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaceD．less heat may be collected in winter than in summer49．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows？A．What we shall do if the system goes wrong．B．What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads．C．How the system cools the building in summer．D．How the system collects heat in spring and autumn．BMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice．However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner．Born in September, 1897，Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters．Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers．She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris．Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began，Irene went to help her mother, who was using X—ray facilities（设备)to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium．Her services were recognized in the form of a Military's Medal by the French government．In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later．Like her mother，Irene combined family and career．Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband，in 1935．Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia becauseof her work with radioactivity(辐射能)．Irene Joliot—Curie died from leukemia on March 17，1956．50．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?A．Because she received a degree in mathematics．B．Because she contributed to saving the wounded．C．Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic．D．Because she worked as a helper to her mother．51．Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot？A．At the Curie Institute．B．At the university of Paris．C．At a military hospital．D．At the College of Sevigne．52．When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born？A．In 1932．B．In 1927．C．In 1897．D．In 1926．53．In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother？A．Irene worked with radioactivity．B．Irene combined family and career．C．Irene won the Nobel Prize once D．Irene died from leukemiaCFor years my husband, John，and I had dreamed of taking our threekids to Disney World．We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar．But in Georgia, halfway there，our car broke down．At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile，John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls，John finally found a car．Luckily，our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet！John got on the phone again．He found it would cost more than $ l, 100 to rent a car to drive home．That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we’d be out over $2,000！I wailed（痛哭）and asked John, "What are we going to do？" He said，"It’ll work out．” John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out．Amazingly，John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home．When we got home，the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was．I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car’s still stuck in Georgia．" "No problem，” he said．”I'm heading to Florida fo r a spring break with my parents．We’ll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car．”We ended up spending only $50 more than we’d budgeted．The next week, our car was back，and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．54．From the passage we can learn that ．A．Disney World is located in GeorgiaB．Mercury Sable is the name of the mechanicC．the couple budgeted for their trip carefullyD．repairing their car needed a lot of money55．The underlined phrase "pick up the tab" probably means “___________”．A．pay the expense of renting a carB．find a taxi for the club membersC．give somebody a lift on the wayD．take someone home free of charge56．Why was the author unhappy at the end of the weekend？A．They didn't have enough money to rent a car to go home．B．They spent $2,000 more than they had budgeted．C．They didn't enjoy themselves in Disney World．D．They found their car hadn’t bee n repaired at all．57．We can infer from the passage that _______________________．A．the car transport company usually had its cars rentedB．the couple had to drive the company’s car to an appointed placeC．the car transport company charged the couple some moneyD．a student helped the couple return the car to the company ．DWith a £4 million ITV contract（合同）in her pocket and an engagement （婚约) to her England footballer boyfriend，it's been a good year for Christine Bleakley．Perhaps it’s no wonder, as the TV presenter is 31，the age at which women are the most attractive，according to a survey．While the average British woman of 31 may be married with a child，the survey noted they are at a wonderful age because they have not only youthful beauty but also more confidence and a better sense of style than flesh—faced teenagers．Some 70 percent of more than 2,000 men and women surveyed considered confidence as a key factor in making a woman attractive，ahead of the 67 percent who included physical beauty and 47 percent who looked for a sense of style．Almost two thirds of the women agreed with the opinion "With age，comes beauty", and over half said that as they age they do away with their insecurities and feel more beautiful, while 55 percent felt they knew the best make-up to wear．Self-confidence varied widely across the country in the survey: London women emerged as the most confident about their looks，with 37 percent describing themselves as beautiful, compared with just 28 percent of Welsh women．Meanwhile, East Midlands women spend the most on beautyprograms —£129．69 monthly-compared with a national average of £105．50．The research was carried on for TV shopping channel QVC to mark the launch of its "Beauty Month"．QVC marketing director Sue Leeson said："This research shows what many have always suspected — real beauty is about more than just good looks but a combination of confidence，style and personality, too．"58．Which of the following doesn’t have much to do with a woman’s beauty？A．Being famous and independent．B．Having self-confidence．C．Looking young and stylish．D．Wearing proper make-up．59．In the survey_______________ think attractive women should possess a sense of style．A．nearly 1，000 women B．more than 1，000 womenC．nearly half the participants D．55 percent of the women60．Which fact shows that a woman is confident?A．Paying little attention to style．B．Wearing expensive make-up．C．Considering herself as beautiful．D．Spending much on beauty programs．第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框A—F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AThe Grand PalaceIf there is one must-see sight without which no visit to Bangkok would be complete,it’s the spectacular Grand Palace,undoubtedly the city’s most famous landmark.Built in 1782 and for 150 years the home of the Thai King,the Royal court and the administrative seat of government,the Grand Palace of Bangkok continues to have visitors in awe of its beautiful architecture and complicated details,which is a proud salute（致敬）to the creativity and creativity and craftsmanship of Thai people.Within its walls were also the Thai war ministry,the state departments,and even the mint（铸币厂).Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.Important Notes about the Grand PalaceA strict dress code applies.The Grand Palace with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is Thailand’s most sacred site.Visitors must be properly dressed before being allowed entry to the temple.Men must wear long pants and shirts with sleeves (no tank lops).If you’re wearing sandals or flip-flops you must wear socks,in other words,no bare feet. Women must be similarly modestly dressed.No see-through clothes,bare shoulders,etc.If you show up at the front gate improperly dressed,there is a booth near the entrance that can provide clothes to cover you up properly (a deposit is required).Opening Hours: Daily 8:30-15:30Location: Na Phra Lan Road,Old City (Rattanakosin)Price Range: Tickets sold from 8:30-15:30 and cost 500 baht!One ticket includes entry to Vimanmek Palace and Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall.1.What makes the Grand Palace an important landmark?A.Its convenient location.B.Its cheap price of the tickets.C.Its excellent guides and service.D.Its splendid history and architecture.2.Who can be allowed to enter the Grand Palace?A.Edward wearing shorts and sandals.B.Cathy wearing a T-shirt and a short skirt.C.Tom wearing a sweater,jeans and sports shoes.D.Anne wearing a long dress with bare shoulders.3.What can we learn from the text?A.Visitors can enter the Grand Palace every day.B.The Grand Palace has nothing to do with the Thai King.C.Clothes for improperly dressed people are sold at the gate.D.You can’t visit Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall with your ticket.BOne day, a wise man heard some villagers were arguing about whose suffering was the worst. They each thought, “If my pain was as little as my neighbors, I could laugh and be joyous.” The wise man called them together around a tree and handed each person a pencil and an envelope with a string through a hole in the corner, and a blank piece of paper inside.“I’ve been very troubled that many of you feel that Spirit has given you a more severe burden to carry than your neighbors. I took this heartfelt (真心真意的)concern to prayer with me, and Spirit has offered a solution. We will each take the paper out, write down our personal suffering, and put the paper back in the envelope. Write your name on the front of the envelope and find a branch to tie your envelope on. This is our suffering tree. When you tie your envelope，your suffering, onto the tree，Spirit has promised you’ll be free of it. However, as you have left a suffering on the tree, you must take one from the tree. Every person will be allowed to exchange their sufferings for any other that they pick off this tree as we walk around it. Once all the sufferings have been taken back from this tree, we will be done, and Spirit promises each of us will then be more content with the sufferings we bear.”It took quite a long time to walk around the tree before anyone took any suffering to be their own. But eventually, the first envelope was claimed (认领）.Little by little，every envelope came off the tree, each person claiming the suffering of their choice.And each person claimed the very same suffering they had hung on the tree. Each one was more content with what was theirs to bear.4. What did the villagers think of their neighbors’ suffering at first?A. They think it is as little as their own.B. They think it is worse than their own.C. They think it is not as bad as their own.D. They think it is the worst in the world.5. Why did the wise man call the villagers together?A. He wanted to let them understand a truth.B. He liked talking with the villagers.C. He wished the villagers to help him solve a problem.D. He was ready to help the villagers get rid of their sufferings.6. Which of the following thing is the right order?a. The villagers took one envelope from the tree.b. The villagers wrote down their own sufferings.c The villagers were called together.d. The villagers tied their envelopes on the tree.A. abcdB.bcdaC.cbadD. cbda7. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Wise Man Likes to Help His VillagersB. Whose Life Would You Like to Live?C. A Suffering Tree Helps Reduce Your SufferingD. Each Person Claims His Neighbor’s EnvelopeCBeing PoliteI simply love a tag line：“Isn’t it nice when someone makes you feel special?”I guess we all feel nice when we arc given good treatment. So how about being someone el se’s reason of delight or even just giving them their due respect?I’m sure you have heard the quote：“Do to others, what you want others to do to y ou.” Be nice to people around you. Every time we interact (互动)with people, remember that a smile，a raised hand, a small pat on the back，a firm handshake. T hat’s all it takes to show your appreciation. A lot of times we tend to believe that such small gestures don’t make any difference. Think again and I’m sure you will think otherwise.I agree that wh ile at work, it might be someone’s duty to do a particular job and doesn’t call for a “thank you”. Yet，we should try to be polite with all those we interact. We should respect everyone and not look down upon anyone. As a team manager would agree, every member is important in the team. Everyone is like a piece of the jig-saw puzzle(拼图玩具）and the picture wouldn’t be complete without each one of them.A lot of times, we may be facing the anger of someone through no fault of our own. At times，with so much pressure, frustration, and despair all around us we tend to lose control of ourselves and shout，even abuse people for something they do which upsets us.Let me clarify that being polite doesn’t mean being a soft rubber that anyone can tread over (践踏）.I strongly believe that being polite and giving respect is a sign of strength and not weakness. Be strong; take charge of your emotions and channel your energy. I know, it’s easier said than done.8. What does the author mainly tell us?A. Being polite to others is important.B. Famous quotes make differences.C. Bringing happiness to others.D. Expressing yourappreciation.9. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 is used to ask us to .A. learn how to communicate with othersB. smile at those w ho don’t smile at usC. shake hands with others firmlyD. be nice to people around us10. In the author’s opinion, we should say “thank you”_______.A. only when others help us when we are in troubleB. even if others do what they should do for usC. when others are not polite to usD. if others do something well11. What can be learned from the passage?A. It’s easy to take charge of your emotions and channel your energy.B. When we face pressure, we are likely to lose control of ourselves.C. Not every member of a team plays an important part in a team.D. Being polite means being a soft rubber.DMany people don't realize the importance of music education in the schools today.A new study showed, however, music education is extremely important.In college, music education is one of the largest programs. Teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques. They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methods; they must learn conducting and so much more. At the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.Music plays a very important role in our education.Music helps with math and science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series", which is about how music is prod uced by vibration（颤动）and why.Students learn a lot about languages through music．Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students are exposed to that very often while singing.Students learn a huge amount of cooperation （协作）of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use motor（肌肉运动的）skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind（管乐器）players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns. Students have to be aware of what every other musician does at every time. In that way, it develops cooperation, as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.As one can see, music is very important to education.12. What can we infer about learning music in college?A. It is an easy task without much effort.B. It attracts more and more people to learn.C. It is such a challenging job to finishD. It has no value to our future life.13. Music benefits us a lot in many ways except for_______.A. making us a scientist later.B. improving language abilityC. bettering cooperation of body parts.D. making us think more about how to learn well14. The underlined word “that” in Para. 5 refers to “_________”A. the musicB. the workC. the cultureD. the language15. What can we know from the passage?A. A good achievement of science is vital to music learning.B. Learning music to a higher level on one’s own is impossibleC. People have long known the importance of music to our growth.D. Music has benefits to the all—around development of human beings.第二节七选五 (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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWashington Sightseeing GuideWhite House-Public tours of the White House have been offered since Thomas Jefferson was president, but you can't just drop in. Visits to the White House are in high demand, and you must make your request through your member of Congress （国会）up to six months, and no fewer than 21 days, before your visit. Be sure to check the White House tour-info Web site to make sure about the personal identification you'll need. And before the day of your visit, call 202-456-7041 to confirm the tour schedule.Lincoln's Cottage-Lincoln's Cottage, the hilltop home where President Lincoln lived during part of the Civil War, is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors' recordings that reveal Lincoln's thoughts on slavery and the war. "In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been," says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. "We haven't re-created the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves. "Library of Congress-The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, it's probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas you'd really like to explore (i. e. when your feet start to hurt, you won't feel so bad about not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing-murals(壁画),sculptures, performances-elsewhere in the complex.1. Which is true about the White House?A. It is a new tourist attraction.B. It is open only to members of Congress.C. A reservation （预订）for a visit is required.D. You should call 202-456-7041 during your visit.2. In Lincoln's Cottage, you can .A. see actors giving performancesB. see the bookshelves in the studyC. hear the recorded voice of LincolnD. learn about Lincoln's opinions on slavery3. The paragraph about the Library of Congress implies that .A. there is so mu ch to see thereB. there are so many visitors thereC. you needn't spend so much time thereD. you should drive there instead of walkingBMother's Day is coming up. Maybe your gift is wrapped and your dinner plans booked for mom, step-mom, grandmother-whoever the person is who fed, cared for,taught and loved you.But there are other people who said their most special Mother's Day memories rarely dealt with beautifully wrapped objects, but rather, the ways people showed they cared.Mother's Day 2012 was the last one Jannet Walsh was able to celebrate with her mother, Margaret, who had a stroke (中风) in 2009. In her last few years, Walsh always shot photos and videos of their visits together, and with Walsh's West Highland White Terrier, Andrew."My mother had a dog just like him, so I would tell her it was her dog, and she would hold onto his leash, even in bed up to the last few weeks before she passed away," Walsh said.As Mother's Day approached, Walsh wanted a way to remember her mother and "best friend". She decided to build the memories she captured during those last few years into a video memorial-images of her mother with Andrew or quiet moments at her gravesite."I thought it good to tell the story with few words, just show my mother as she was happy, and loved till the end," Walsh said.Mother's Day was not a light-hearted subject for Wendy Bowers in the past. Her mom had walked out when she was 18, and Bowers had tried for years to become pregnant without success. She had almost convinced herself she wasn't meant to be a parent. But three years after she gave up on having a baby, Bowers discovered that she was pregnant. Six weeks earlier than expected, little Nathan arrived.That first year, Nathan, only 10 months old, was sick with a stomach bug. Bowers said she spent the day holding him between loads of laundry. "I would not have been anywhere else in the world that day," she said. "I wouldn't trade that first Mother's Day for anything, and I'm pretty sure Mother's Day will always be a reminder to me of just how lucky I am to even be a mom. "4. What does the underlined word "Andrew" refer to?A. Walsh's child.B. Walsh's mother.C. Walsh's dog.D. Walsh's mother's dog.5. The purpose of what Walsh did for her mother before Mother's Day was to .A. bring her mother what she wantedB. show she would be loved till the endC. celebrate her last Mother's DayD. remember her and share her story6. How does Bowers feel about what happened on her first Mother's Day as a mother?A. It was worth it.B. It was unlucky.C. It was unexpected.D. It was unbearable.7. What is the text mainly about?A. Painful memories of Mother's Day.B. Plans for Mother's Day.C. Tips for a special Mother's Day.D. Special ideas for Mother's Day.CLike people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response tothat stress can determine success.Bad environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields(产量 ) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate e nvironmental stress and maintain high yields, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology.Plant cells produce proteins （蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded protein s. Then a built-in system senses this and "sets off an alarm in the cell," said Howell.In response to the alarm, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive."As it turns out, responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants," said Howell. "This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions. "For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yields."You don't want crop plants to stop growing," Howell said. "You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress. "With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system, said Howell. "What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions. "8. According to the text, an alarm in the plant cells is caused byA. the folded proteinsB. the changed proteinsC. the defensive measuresD. the stress response genes9. The energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions .A. helps the plants to surviveB. helps to maintain high yieldsC. keeps the plants growingD. helps to produce proteins10. The underlined word "inhibit" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by "_. ".A. preventB. startC. continueD. promote11. How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?A. By making crop plants keep more energy.B. By making crop plants stop growing.C. By making the alarm system stop working.D. By making the alarm system respond quickly.DOne of the Queen’s closest relatives and oldest friends was allowe d to give a deep description into the family life of the Royals. Although there have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors, this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their lives—not only throughout the Queen’s reign (统治) but also through that of her father, King George VI.The Final Curtsey was written by her Majesty’s cousin and childhood p laymate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes. It tells in details the story of Mrs. Rhode s’srelationship with the Royal family over eight decades. The book, with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures, has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen, who has read and approved parts of it.Born in 1925, the Honorable Margaret Rhodes has led an extraordinary life. She was the childhood playmate of her cousin, the Queen; a wartime M16 spy; and she was a lady-in- waiting (宫女) to her aunt, the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, from 1991 until the latter’s death in 2002. At the Queen’s 80th birthday in April 2006, Margaret gave an interview to the BBC which she proved that, in her own opinion and despite several false reports, the Queen would not abdicate(退位).In this charming autobiography (自传)，she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor Great Park unexpectedly. One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside, she suddenly returned and said, “Could you bear to live in the suburb?” “I think it should be OK.” Theref ore Mrs. Rhodes is now still living there.12. Compared with other books about the Royal Family, the biggest advantage of The Final Curtsey is that _______.A.its author is very famousＢ.its author knows the Queen wellC.it presents reader a very different QueenD.it has pictures that have never been seen13.When Mrs. Rhodes was offered to live in the Royal farm, she was _______.A. unhappyB. surprisedC. sadD. disappointed14.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Mrs. Rhodes ________.A.has lived quite a long lifeB.was so famous that BBC interviewed herC.has a close relationship with the royal familyD.has been very busy and kept on c hanging jobs15.The passage is mainly about________.A. a book about royal familyB. the Queen’s lifeC. the life of Margaret RhodesD. the Queen’s abdication第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
