ADavid is an excellent student and he comes from New York. His family was there until he finished eighth grade. David had no choice but to sleep on park benches. Being alone on the streets was scary. One thing kept David going: his determination to do well in school.Even though many things were difficult in David’s life, one thing was going very well. David was accepted to a special high school called MC2STEM. It is a public school in Cleveland for kids who are extremely good at science. The school turned out a peaceful place for David. He especially enjoyed having the chance to learn by doing lots of projects.High school wasn’t easy. But David says that the school helped him set high standards for himself. Even when he didn’t have a place to stay at night, David kept his focus on his schoolwork. While he was homeless, David would sometimes sleep in the park during the day because it was safer. “If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people won’t bother you,〞 he says. “you’re just taking a nap. It’s acceptable.〞 Then David would study through the night. He showered at a friend’s house when his friend’s parents were at work.All his hard work paid off. In May 2011, David graduated second in his high school class. He was accepted to 22 colleges. He also won a scholarship form the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It will pay for all his college expenses.Last fall, David began attending HarvardUniversity, one of the top colleges in the US. “I found the perfect school for me.〞He wrote in his blog.In the future, David might look for a job at a company like Google.

Winning a ScholarshipBFour days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.〞I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?〞“Ma’am,〞 he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.〞The pointer’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,〞I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!〞I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,〞 he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace of mind.25.

Believe it or not, there are some people who actually get paid to do that! According to Reuben Reynoso, a professional mattress〔床垫〕 tester at San Francisco’s McRoskey Mattress Factory that still makes every mattress by hand, it is real work and needs some training. For a start, it’s not all about jumping to new heights or doing tricks like professional athletes, but rather about feeling each area of the mattress carefully to detect the filling. In order to do it right, every bit of the mattress has to be tested slowly and deliberately.Over the years, Reynoso has figured out the perfect routine. He begins by placing a protective mat over the mattress so that it doesn’t get dirty or absorb the smell from his feet. Then begins the fun---he steps to the middle of an edge and then takes five steps back and five steps forward. In this way, he slowly but surely, covers the entire surface. The key according to him is to find the perfect number of jumps---Too many and he will end up destroying the mattress completely. Too few? And it will not fit into the giant machine for that final sewing! Who knew a job that sounds so simple could have so many skills!While Reuben will not reveal how he got into this profession, he will admit that it is more fun than being a carpenter, roofer, construction worker and railroad engineer---all jobs he has tried previous to finding his true profession!32. We learn from the text that the McRoskey Mattress Factory ______.A. is the world’s oldest mattress factoryB. make mattresses for sportsC.produces mattresses by handD. hires athletes as mattress testers33. The protective mat is used to ______.A. prevent the tester getting hurtB. keep the mattress as clean as possibleC. protect the mattress from being destroyedD. make the mattress fit into the sewing machine34. According to Reynoso, the most important thing in his work is______.A. the timing of his jumpsB. the height of his jumpsC. the number of his jumpsD. the frequency of his jumps35. We can learn from the text that Reynoso ______.A. has been injured several times in his workB. liked mattress jumping in his childhoodC. didn’t choose mattress testing as his first jobD. dreamt about becoming a jumping athlete第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

AThe story all began with a simple announcement from the church wall one Sunday morning. LaSalle Street Church’s pastor, Laura Truax，told his 320 regular members that the church had recently received a large $ 1. 6 million profit in a real estate deal (房地产交易） and that she would set aside that amount by 10 percent to divide among her parishioners (教区居民).Each would get a $500 check to do something positive for someone, and someone could be the parishioners themselves. The money came with no conditions attached; parishioners did not have to provide proof of money spent. It just came with the hope that the money would be used for good.LaSalle’s congregation (集会）is racially and financially diverse; More than 60 percent of members have advanced degrees while about a third live a paycheck-to-paycheck life. Truax had no idea how her experiment would work. She only hoped that it would make her parishioners a part of the giving process and engage them in the church and in their community. So far, her idea seems to be paying off.Checks from LaSalle Street Church have been used to fund everything from swall international projects---including a school in the Himalayas, a health clinic in and an irrigation project in Tanzania---to help local families and friends in trouble. One congregant is helping to fund a skateboarding park in Amman, Jordaa, where he lived for many years. Another is using her money to start a scholarship foundation for local kids. Another has used her money to buy winter clothing for the kids at her daughter's school."1 hoped that they would recognize the power they had to bless others and change somebody's life, "Truax told Yahoo News. “I hoped that they would see their connection between their little piece and the bigger thing the church was called to21.

To employ them to repair the church.22. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that most people of LaSalle's congregation________ 。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校高考题型提能练十七Unit 17 LaughterⅠ.阅读理解A“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have_a_nice_day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasan t. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heartwarming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.1.How does the author understand Maxie's words?A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D.Maxie really worries about the author's security.2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.The salesgirl is rude.B.The salesgirl is bored.C.The salesgirl cares about me.D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.3.By saying “Have a nice day”， a stranger may________.A.try to be polite to youB.express respect to youC.give his blessing to youD.share his pleasure with you4.What is the best title of the passage?A.Have a Nice Day — a Social CustomB.Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant GestureC.Have a Nice Day —a Heartwarming GreetingD.Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a ConversationB(2016·校际检测)“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health，” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names，” regulators have warned. “Th ose who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person's care.Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously reward ing but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a lifethreatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”But she also said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries wi th patients.”She said，“The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like these people, how can I bear to tell them that they're going to die？’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”5.Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients' health?A.Because they don't like to cheat patients.B.Because they are not good at treating patients.C.Because they find it not easy to be objective to the patients.D.Because they seldom blur the relationship with patients.6.What should doctors do according to the regulators?A.Add patients as friends on Facebook.B.Have a close connection with patients in life.C.Always be cold to patients.D.Keep patients at a proper distance.7.Young oncologists will face the following challenges EXCEPT________.A.dealing with a lot of lifethreatening diseasesB.discussing difficulties of treatments with patientsC.explaining the unavailability of some medicinesrming patients of the possible results of the treatments。

AMy last days of my month-Song trip to Guatemala found me self-reflective and grateful. I had rejoined the living after spending two days in bed, thanks to a terrible period of food poisoning that had me running from both ends.I spent 36-plus hours locked up in my hotel room in a cold sweat and grasping my stomach in pain. There may have been a bit of crying. There also may have been a few out-loud prayers to God begging him to make it stop and asking why I had been chosen to go through this.I should mention that I am not religious.I didn’t have a mobile phone and my hotel room was not equipped with a fixed line, so I had no way to get in contact with my mommy or my loving boyfriend so that I could share my suffering.Days later, I had recovered fully. While the bug （虫子） ran its course, I had to give some thanks to the staff at my hotel in Guatemala for being so sweet. They came to check on me on a couple of occasions once they realized I wouldn't/couldn't leave the room. They offered me tea and to call a doctor. I declined both offers but was moved by their kindness.I may get sick often when on the road, but I had to say that the worst thing ever is to get sick while traveling alone. If I am sick, only when people I know and care about are around does it make me feel better. It’s not even about them playing Florence Nightingale -sometimes, just having them there and being able to feel their presence is enough to make you feel stronger.21.What is the best title for the text?A. Being ill while travellingB. The worst part of traveling aloneC. Recovering from the illnessD. Travelling alone while ill22.Why did the author get sick?A. Because she had wrong medicine.B. Because she travelled too much.C. Because she got a stomachache.D. Because she had poisonous food.23.What happened during my illness?A. I had no food.B. No one helped me.C. I suffered a lot.D. I was bitten by a bug.24.What lesson did I get from the experience?A. Don't get sick while travelling or you can't travel with pleasure.B. Remember to have a mobile phone while travelling or you can't contact relatives.C. Don't travel alone or you will get sick and feel lonely.D. Be grateful for the presence of the people you know and care about.BChildren are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers （幼儿）, no matter how naughty or rude they are, we think it is amusing to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to sound grown-up.Conflicts often appear between parents and children. Reasoning does not seem to work with them．It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with his parents. Whether it is about some toys, studies, basic affairs, parties or friends, there is always a difference in opinions between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Psychologists say that children should be handled with care. Yes, sure they should be but not at the cost of disrespecting their elders.We are partly responsible for this situation. At an early age we encourage grown-up-like behaviour, just because we find it amusing. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late. Only when they reach a certain maturity will the childrenrealize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable. Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force. And the use of force is again not a very good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.Thus this brings us to the conclusion that it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are a reflection of us adults.25.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. It is annoying to watch children speak like a grown-up.B. We should deal with children carefully according to psychologists.C. We are totally responsible for our kids’ impolite behaviour.D. Most of the time children’s behaviour is easy to change.26.What's the main idea of the second paragraph?A. There are usually conflicts of opinions between parents and children.B. Children would like toys better than their parents.C. Children always look down upon their parents.D. It’s strange for children and parents to disagree with each other.Which of the following is part of the reason for the present situation of the children?A. Children always think their parents’ opinions are wrong.B. Parents often try to change their children by force.C. Parents give too much loose to children.D. Children are often asked to follow their parents.28. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?A. It is important that we teach children how to behave well and bring them intothe world.B. It is important to bring a child into the world safe and sound.C. We should try to make a child follow the elders.D. We should train children to be good citizens with good manners.CJacksonville is the largest city in Florida and has a large number of shopping malls to suit different tastes for tourists and guests to shop.

However, do you know the real reason behind the phrase? Inner beauty is truly the real beauty, because external beauty fades with time. You might praise someone on how good he/she looks. But, what if that person turns out to be arrogant. What is the purpose of beauty then? Well to throw light upon the phrase, we have listed some reasons why inner beauty is the real beauty1. Characteristics are importantSure, the look of a person is important but characteristics are equally important. It is not necessary that a good-looking person would turn out to be an honest one. Looks are always deceptive. So, judge a person by his/her traits, which is the real test of inner beauty.2. Inner beauty is always admiredWhen anyone talks to you, he/she would notice the manner in which you speak. If you speak softly, then the person would remember you as a beautiful person.Nobody will remember what you wore, or how you looked. So, inner beauty is the first test of true beauty.3. Inner beauty is valuableA person can be beautiful with his or her actions and thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, it can be a motivating factor for others. It is your ideas that make you beautiful. Many women have complex related to looks but with good actions, you do not have to feel inferior.4. Inner beauty is kindnessOuter beauty will fade away, but inner beauty shall remain through your deeds. Kindness, love, empathy, generosity are all traits of inner beauty. If you have these traits, then you are the most beautiful person on earth. A kind and warm person is always remembered from the bottom of the heart.33.Which diagram shows the structure of the passage?34.What will be discussed in the following passage?A. Compare outer beauty with inner beauty.B. Emphasize the importance of the inner beauty.C. What should you do in later life?。

AIt was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.21. Why did the author follow her son?A. Because there might be danger.B. Because her son was doing a good deed.C. Because she intended to help.D. Because she was curious.22. Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?A. Rain was in great need.B. Billy carried water with his small hands.C. There were few trees in the woods.D. Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.23. Which is the correct order of the development of the story?① The author was moved to tears.② Billy fed the water to the baby deer.③ Billy walked towards the large deer.④ It began to rain.⑤ The author followed Billy into the woods.A. ③②⑤①④ B ⑤③②①④C. ④①③②⑤D. ⑤②①③④24. At the end of the story, the author might experience different feelings Except that _____A. Billy was a pride.B. God was touched by Billy's activity.C. the rain should have dropped earlier.D. it was worthwhile to have given birth to Billy.BFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has founda link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said，“The study sh owed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear，” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”25．What is the finding of the study?A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear. 26．The study was carried out by analyzing ________.A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsC. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart－brain communication 27．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?A. Order.B. Machine.C. System.D. Treatment.28．This study may contribute to ________．A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress betterC. finding the key to the heart－brain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and headsCBeijing Opera is also called Peking Opera. It came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupe(戏班) came to Beijing. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Er-huang in Anhui and Hubei. Its costtumes are all fascinating and artistic. It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It’s full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, and wonderful gestures and fighting.

考试时间100分钟。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解( 共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AIf you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the pho nes with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.1. The Tile app can help you .A. find your missing itemsB. use your phone more wiselyC. save your phone’s battery powerD. connect something to your phone2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes ou t of the needed range.3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. What the Tile app is.B. How the Tile app works.C. The advantages of the Tile app.D. Why the Tile app was invented.4. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. An advertisement.C. A personal diary.D. A news report.BThe island of Port Cros is in the south of France. I first visited it about ten years ago with my wife. I had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的), but I couldn’t believe that it was true. In fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures(指南) had said.The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island. They didn’t allow any new building projects. There is only one hotel and no camping is allowed. Vi sitors can’t use mountain bikes or smoke on the island. Sailing boats that visit the island mustn’t damage the bottom of the sea or pollute the water around it.When we arrived, we started walking to the beach of Port-Man, which was the furthest beach from the port. It took us two hours and when we arrived, the beach was deserted. It seemed that we were the only people on the island. Time seemed to stop. It was so beautiful that we stayed there all day. I visited there again last summer. Nothing had changed. The island still looked magical and mysterious, still with few tourists. It must be wonderful to stay the night on the island, I thought. After all the visitors have gone, the island must be so quiet—a real paradise (天堂)!5. The author got to know Port Cros at first due to _____.A. some tourist brochuresB. his wife’s introductionC. his first visit thereD. some TV programs6.

Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series —the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away(藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No. 1had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.12. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.14. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man15. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic book publisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creating Superman.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。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解( 共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AWhen I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea.I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average India. It was a strange country.How things change! And how soon!Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.But it’s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $ 15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian（中印）century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.21. Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?A. She was tired of Indian tea.B. She had a son working in China.C. She believed it had a curing effect.D. She was fond of Chinese products.22. What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph10?A. China and India have different traffic rules.B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India.D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.23. What do we know about the Indian IT industry?A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen.B. It is seeking further development in China.C. It has attracted an investment of US $15 billion.D. It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.24. In the text the author expresses ______.A. his concern for his mother’s healthB. his support for drinking Chinese green teaC. his s urprise at China’s recent developmentD. his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industryBForeign drivers will have to pay on-the-spot fines of up to ￡900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped（扣留）until they pay—and they will face an additional fee of ￡80 for getting back their vehicles.The law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.Three million foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British-registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between 2003 and 2008. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2008.The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits on weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were registered overseas.The standard deposit for a careless driving offence—such as driving too close to the vehicles in front or reading a map at the wheel—willbe ￡300. Deposits for speeding offences and using mobile phones will be ￡60. Foreign drivers will not get points as punishment added to their licenses, while British drivers will.25. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ______.A. explanationB. introductionC. commentD. background26. The foreign drivers who break the traffic law and do not pay on the spot are likely to be fined up to ______.A. ￡60B. ￡300C. ￡900D. ￡98027. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. many foreign drivers have been fined by British policeB. 300,000 German vehicles enter Britain every yearC. 25 percent of foreign vehicles entering Britain have failed safety testsD. British drivers will be punished with points and fines for breaking the traffic law28. The new traffic law is mainly intended to ______.A. limit the number of foreign vehicles entering BritainB. increase the British government’s additional incomeC. lower the rare of traffic accidents and injuriesD. get foreign drivers to appear in courtCSuccessful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions-mistaken ideas.One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.LanguageA knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and AttitudesValues are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is betterthan chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.Customs and MannersCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don't usually drink juice with breakfast.29. A knowledge of the local language allows international business people ______.A. to be more open with their customersB. to communicate without outside helpC. to express their thoughts indirectlyD. to have a better idea of their own culture30. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ______.A. mannersB. valuesC. attitudesD. customs31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Misconceptions in BusinessB. Basic Beliefs in BusinessC. International Business CultureD. Successful International Business32. The author’s purpose of w riting this article is to tell people ______.A. how to take a right attitude in businessB. how to avoid misunderstandings in businessC. how to use a local language in businessD. how to act politely and properly in businessDSitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin (1809—1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired his famous work, On the origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands The islands are certainly a paradise for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise （巨型海龟）, which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands ofSanta Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago（群岛）. Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.Traveling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.33. Which of the following plays a role i n making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”?A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.34. Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of ______.A. the beautiful sea viewsB. Darwin’s inspiring tripC. a closer view of animalsD. various daring activities35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife LoversB. Galapagos as a Paradise for AdventureC. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of GalapagosD. A Successful Example of Wildlife Protection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。

AExcept for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen（边民），who traveled the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and gold For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achieving what one day would be called the "American Dream".Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as an entertaining activity.

The laser beam scanner(激光扫描器) is the first device that can find the sometimes deadly disease without going inside the body. The test is painless, which does not need blood from a person, and appears to he right every time it is done.The newly developed device only needs a person to place a finger on a laser device. Doctor Dmitri Lopotko, a researcher at Rice University in Houston, Texas. "We shine with a laser beam scanner very short light pulse through the skin. And this light pulse is absorbed only by malaria parasites(寄生虫) because of the wavelength we use. And in response to this short light pulse, the parasite gradually explodes," he said.The light pulse comes from a low-powered laser. It has less power than a laser point. It shines on the hemozoin (疟原虫色素) which is produced by the malaria parasite once it has infected red blood cells. Hemozoin crystals （晶体） are not found in red cells that are not infected with malaria. As the crystals are heated by the laser, they create small bubbles inside inf'ected cells Doctor Lopotko says the bubbles exploded, and then make a sound that scientists can hear and count. "You can find just a few infected cells in a million normal cells," he said. Doctor Lopotko says when researchers tested the device, it was never wrong.

第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解( 共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AThe Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “ShanzhaiCell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous.In Chongq ing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the“Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs o f common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.21. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.A. Spring Festival GalaB. electronic productsC. fake cell-phonesD. Olympic buildings22. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.A. the action that a person imitates famous peopleB. products with poor techniques and qualityC. those similar names to famous brandsD. anything that imitates something famous23. We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.A. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” cultureB. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” cultureC. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” cultureD. is held back by “Shanzhai” culture BWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according totheir importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority （优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values and the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just assurely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously Americanbecause it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception （感知）that cannot be acquiredany other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive meaning of the same phenomenon. We need everypossible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thoughts as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings“talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away fromthem the meanings that music expresses. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering,celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.24. According to Paragraph 1, students _______.A. disagree with their parents on educationB. regard music as a way of entertainmentC. view music as an overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science25. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to _______.A. compare it with rock musicB. introduce American musical traditionsC. show music identifies a societyD. prove music influences people’s lifestyles26. According to the passage, the arts and science _______.A .approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the worldC. express people’s feelings in different waysD .explain what it means to be human differently27. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music is an effective communication tool.B. Music should be of top education priority.C. Music makes students more imaginativeD. Music education deserves more attention.CA new planet-hunting technique has detected the most earth-like planet yet around a star other than our sun, raising hopes of finding a space rock that might support life, astronomers (天文学家) reported recently.“This is an important discovery to answer the question ‘Are we alone?’” said Michael Turner of the National Science Foundation.“The team has discovered the most earth-like planet yet, and more importantly, has proved the power of a new technique that is sensitive (灵敏的) to detecting planets that are fit for people to live on,” Turner said in a statement.In the last decade, astronomers have detected more than 160 planets moving around stars outside our solar system. Most of these have been gas giant planets like Jupiter, which are unfit for life.But an international team has detected a cold planet about 5.5 times more massive than the earth — still small enough to be considered earth-like —moving around a star about 20,000 light years away, close to the center of the Milky Way.To find this new planet, the team used a technique called gravitational microlensing (引力微观透镜法). When a planet is circling the closest star, the planet’s gravity can add its own signature to the light. This kind of light signature was observed on July 11 by a group of telescopes in a project known as OGLE, short for Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment.“The main advantage of microlensing is the signals for low-mass planets: They’re not weak signals. They’re just rare,” Bennett of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana said by telephone. “If there happens to be a straight line between a foreground star with its planet and the background source star, then you’re able to detect that planet.”28. The underlined word “detected” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.A. discoveredB. destroyedC. createdD. searched29. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ____.A. prove that scientists have a lot of difficulties in doing scientific researchB. explain why this planet moves around a star like our sunC. teach the readers some basic knowledge about the universeD. tell people about a new technique that finds the most earth-likeplanet moving round another star30. From the news report we can infer that _________.A. the planet is like the earth because it is close to the center of the Milky WayB. it is quite possible that life may exist on other planets in the universeC. people have no interest in finding a planet that might support lifeD. the question “Are we alone” is too difficult for scientists to answer31. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The signals coming from low-mass planets are too weak to be noticed.B. Most of the discovered planets are not fit for people to live on.C. If a star with its planet happens to be in line with the source star,then the planet can be found.D. The power of the new technique is proved by the discovery of the earth-like planet.DAll over the world, and for many different reasons, there are millions of people who rarely or never eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very strange thing, diets for several different reasons.First, vegetarians have an enormous health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern societies is not too much protein but too much fat, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical evidence suggests that animal fats, including butter, contribute to the development of cholesterol in the human body. High amount of cholesterol seem to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low level of cholesterol. High amounts of animal fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians are typically less vulnerable to these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion. Some religions forbid the eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about 600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many believers of other religions such Buddhism and even some Christian religions that also do not eat meat.Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or philosophical reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable , and that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.32. According to the passage, people choose to be vegetarians for thefollowing reasons EXCEPT________.A. they want to stay healthyB. they are too kind to put the idea of killing animalsC. they live in areas where meat supply is not adequateD. they should not eat meat due to their religious belief33. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2 ?A. Vegetarians enjoy a more healthy life than the meat eaters.B. Heart disease and cancer are caused by large amounts of protein.C. There are twice as many meat-eaters as vegetarians who die of cancer.D. There are less health problems in modern society due to advanced medical care.34. What does “vulnerable” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Having low level of cholesterol.B. Having high level of cholesterol.C. Having weak ability to resist diseases and harms.D. Having strong ability to resist disease and harms.35. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. being a vegetarian may be a very strange thingB. vegetarians eat meat on some special occasionsC. all vegetarians have reasons for their not eating meatD. most vegetarians believe that life without meat is happy.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。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解( 共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.Fred, a lovely young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely differently different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time, in America, Mike, a frie ndly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”21. This year________ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and othercountries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand22. The whole exchange program is mainly to_________.A. help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teenagers learn new languages23. What is particular in America schools is that________.A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.B. there are a lot of outside activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.BI was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting moneyfor a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos(纹身) and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.24. The writer’s good mood ended when _______.A. he heard news between songsB. he had to stop at a red traffic lightC. he heard a rich man broke the lawD. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need25. What are four bikers doing at the traffic light?A. Having a bicycle race in the streetB. Selling helmets to the passers-by.C. Raising money to help kids in needD. Preparing for Christmas holidays.26. What doe s “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean?A. Destroyed.B. Improved.C. Decreased.D. Exploded.27. The writer to tell us that we should________.A. have faith in young peopleB. judge others by their actionsC. change our attitude to societyD. manage to help others in needCParents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Excessiv e media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie Hogan, co-author of the new policy.Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommendations: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldn’t have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids’ bedrooms.Doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. “If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician(小儿科医师) and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?”Children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including TV, music, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier. About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using the computer, the Kaiser report found.Use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. A new report from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of children 8 and younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011.28. Which statement is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Parents are advised to ban electronic media after mealtimes.B. A “Family media use plan” is being carried out throughout America.C. Electronic media are evil in the eyes of parents and educators.D. The overuse of electronic media has caused many severe problems.29. Why should parents themselves obey the family rules?A. It’s beneficial to their health.B. It’s essential to par enting their kids.C. It’s beneficial to their work.D. It’s essential to develop good relationship with their kids.30. What can be inferred according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation?A. The majority of the surveyed kids can use electronic devices as they like in their homes.B. The report was based on the statistics in 2002.C. 702 of the surveyed kids completed a seven-day media use diary.D. Kids are spending less and less time using media for fun.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Consuming media for fun is a nature of kidsB. No use, no worryC. Measures should be taken to stop children’s overuse of electronic mediaD. Electronic devices threaten the relationship of many familiesDOn occasion, a memory came to my mind. My mother had a nice table with a single vase standing on it. The table, as I remember, was always in my family and I had to clean it as a child as my weekly housework. It was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room.Our family moved around a lot because my father, a Spanish and Hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left. We were never without food, fancy clothes or a house to live in. but, as I grew older, I knew why.My father would usually make enough money to buy us food and clothing, and deal with the doctor bills by paying out of his own pocket for a family of six. He was self-employed and had no medical coverage(医疗保险).Through so many moves, my mother was the organizer of everything that needed to be done. Dad was away at around one o’clock each evening, so the major kid rearing(抚养), cooking and cleaning were all her work. I can also remember her sewing almost every night.My mom didn’t take vacations. She didn’t go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. As children, we cared about almost nothing. We didn’t care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top.I sat back now and then and stared at that table. It was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed. And, her only valuable possession was the table with the vase on top.32. What did the author sometimes recall?A. Having to clean the table weekly.B. Putting a vase on the table weekly.C. His mother’s vase lying on the table.D. His mother’s table with a vase on it.33. What can we learn about the author’s family?A. He supported his family by teaching the guitar.B. He hated his father always being out and too busy.C. His family had no fixed home when he was young.D. His family didn’t have enough food when he was young.34. Which word can best describe the author’s mother?A. EconomicalB. MeanC. UnusualD. Generous35. Which of the following questions is NOT discussed in the passage?A. Who supported the au thor’s family?B. What does the author do at present?C. What housework did the author’s mother do?D. Why did the author’s family move so often?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。

ANo one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon (外科医生) and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.Long ago, an operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing. But one man at a party, Horace Wells noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells' teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.1. Long ago,when the sick man was operated on ,he _________.A. could feel nothingB. could not want anythingC. Could feel all the painD. Could do anything2. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ________.A. be afraid of anythingB. feel painC. want to go to the partiesD. be ill3. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ________.A. felt nothingB. felt very comfortableC. still felt painD. would die4.One who took too much of the laughing gas ________.A. would laugh all the timeB. would dieC. would never feel painD. would be very calmBOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the rock’ n’ roll music popular all over the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s. Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church ,where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”.In 1955 he recorded some so ngs for his mother’s birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South. It was called “blues”. Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manger and arranged concerts for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success, Like many other famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions of his fans were shocked, ”The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and will always be remembered as the King of Rock’ n’ roll.5. From the passage, we can see ____________.A. the church songs didn’t help Elvis develop his own style.B. the church songs helped Elvis develop his singingC. Elvis didn’t get any help from his parentsD. Elvis forgot his church music at a later age.6. Who was Tom Parker?A. A manager of a bank.B. A famous singer.C. Elvis’ manager.D. Elvis’ best friend since childhood.7 What caused Elvis’ death?A. His taking the drugs.B. His singing too much.C. His parents’ death.D. Tom Parker’s help.8. What was Elvis’ music style like most?A. Only country and western.B. Only country and blues.C. Both western and church music.D. Not only country and western but also a bit “blues”.CAs a college student, I have planned my future career goals. I would like to work as a sales assistant in a computer company, then a sales manager and finally boss of my own company.At the very beginning, I plan to find a job in a famous company producing computers, in which all the staff are fully happy at work and I can experience job satisfaction most of the time. Only such kind of company can provide me with good working atmosphere and eagerness to learn more so as to get well prepared for my future profession.At first I want to be a sales assistant and always keep myself busy working in and out of the company, such as answering telephones, doing repair work, even cleaning the rooms. Although the salary may be low, I will seize every chance to learn from other staff. In my spare time, I will take some courses so as to get more qualifications and experience in this field. In three or five years, I am determined to become a sales manager who is responsible for the selling of the computers. I will interview as many customers as possible and do market research and improve our products. Meanwhile I will take care of my staff so as to make them eager to work to the best of their abilities.As is known to us, it is hard to manage a company, but I will make every effort to achieve my goal step by step, and I am sure “There is nothing difficult in the world if you put your heart into it.”9. If the writer has a company, his company will provide his staff with _______.A. high wagesB. dormitoriesC. some computers made in his companyD. good working atmosphere and eagerness10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The writer would like to be a sales assistant first.B. The writer wants to set up a business of his own.C. The writer makes his mind to be the president of a famous company producing computers.D. The writer will take courses to get an MBA11. A sales assistant should do the following EXCEPT ________ in the opinion of the writer.A. answering telephonesB. interviewing customersC. cleaning the roomsD. doing repair work12. The text is mainly about __________.A. how to improve the writer’s abilitiesB. how to achieve the writer’s future career goa lC. how to become a managerD. how to become a sales managerDWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We live on a farmland, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.13. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer?A. He is very old nowB. He lives in the city nowC. He prefers driving a carD. He is in good health14. In the passage, the writer tries to _____ .A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside wouldD. persuade the readers to live in the city15. Is life better in the city than in the countryside?A. Yes, it is.B. No, it isn’t.C. It is when you are young but not so when you are old.D. The text doesn’t tell us.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。

AMy last days of my month-Song trip to Guatemala found me self-reflective and grateful. I had rejoined the living after spending two days in bed, thanks to a terrible period of food poisoning that had me running from both ends.I spent 36-plus hours locked up in my hotel room in a cold sweat and grasping my stomach in pain. There may have been a bit of crying. There also may have been a few out-loud prayers to God begging him to make it stop and asking why I had been chosen to go through this.I should mention that I am not religious.I didn’t have a mobile phone and my hotel room was not equipped with a fixed line, so I had no way to get in contact with my mommy or my loving boyfriend so that I could share my suffering.Days later, I had recovered fully. While the bug （虫子） ran its course, I had to give some thanks to the staff at my hotel in Guatemala for being so sweet. They came to check on me on a couple of occasions once they realized I wouldn't/couldn't leave the room. They offered me tea and to call a doctor. I declined both offers but was moved by their kindness.I may get sick often when on the road, but I had to say that the worst thing ever is to get sick while traveling alone. If I am sick, only when people I know and care about are around does it make me feel better. It’s not even about them playing Florence Nightingale -sometimes, just having them there and being able to feel their presence is enough to make you feel stronger.21.What is the best title for the text?A. Being ill while travellingB. The worst part of traveling aloneC. Recovering from the illnessD. Travelling alone while ill22.Why did the author get sick?A. Because she had wrong medicine.B. Because she travelled too much.C. Because she got a stomachache.D. Because she had poisonous food.23.What happened during my illness?A. I had no food.B. No one helped me.C. I suffered a lot.D.

When they are just toddlers （幼儿）, no matter how naughty or rude they are, we think it is amusing to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to sound grown-up.Conflicts often appear between parents and children. Reasoning does not seem to work with them．It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with his parents. Whether it is about some toys, studies, basic affairs, parties or friends, there is always a difference in opinions between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Psychologists say that children should be handled with care. Yes, sure they should be but not at the cost of disrespecting their elders.We are partly responsible for this situation. At an early age we encourage grown-up-like behaviour, just because we find it amusing. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late. Only when they reach a certain maturity will the childrenrealize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable. Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force. And the use of force is again not a very good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.Thus this brings us to the conclusion that it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are a reflection of us adults.25.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. It is annoying to watch children speak like a grown-up.B. We should deal with children carefully according to psychologists.C. We are totally responsible for our kids’ impolite behaviour.D. Most of the time children’s behaviour is easy to change.26.What's the main idea of the second paragraph?A. There are usually conflicts of opinions between parents and children.B. Children would like toys better than their parents.C. Children always look down upon their parents.D. It’s strange for children and parents to disagree with each other.Which of the following is part of the reason for the present situation of the children?A. Children always think their parents’ opinions are wrong.B. Parents often try to change their children by force.C. Parents give too much loose to children.D. Children are often asked to follow their parents.28. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?A. It is important that we teach children how to behave well and bring them intothe world.B. It is important to bring a child into the world safe and sound.C. We should try to make a child follow the elders.D. We should train children to be good citizens with good manners.CJacksonville is the largest city in Florida and has a large number of shopping malls to suit different tastes for tourists and guests to shop.

However, do you know the real reason behind the phrase? Inner beauty is truly the real beauty, because external beauty fades with time. You might praise someone on how good he/she looks. But, what if that person turns out to be arrogant. What is the purpose of beauty then? Well to throw light upon the phrase, we have listed some reasons why inner beauty is the real beauty1. Characteristics are importantSure, the look of a person is important but characteristics are equally important. It is not necessary that a good-looking person would turn out to be an honest one. Looks are always deceptive. So, judge a person by his/her traits, which is the real test of inner beauty.2. Inner beauty is always admiredWhen anyone talks to you, he/she would notice the manner in which you speak. If you speak softly, then the person would remember you as a beautiful person.Nobody will remember what you wore, or how you looked. So, inner beauty is the first test of true beauty.3. Inner beauty is valuableA person can be beautiful with his or her actions and thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, it can be a motivating factor for others. It is your ideas that make you beautiful. Many women have complex related to looks but with good actions, you do not have to feel inferior.4. Inner beauty is kindnessOuter beauty will fade away, but inner beauty shall remain through your deeds. Kindness, love, empathy, generosity are all traits of inner beauty. If you have these traits, then you are the most beautiful person on earth. A kind and warm person is always remembered from the bottom of the heart.33.Which diagram shows the structure of the passage?34.What will be discussed in the following passage?A.

第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解( 共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AAccording to the government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortu nately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest wind mills to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of , however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian compa ny StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, whic h is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface , will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will kee p the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability in the cold and rough se a would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the t urbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind far m will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s d ifficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a flo ating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine he avier, the whole spar’s center of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans t o design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades.Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the win d is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure t he stability of .A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new t ype of turbine is to be designedwith its gearbox sitting .A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can.A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at seaBMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shinin g new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go a gainst their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous th an his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to be come a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing wi th his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”“He won't find out，” Mark said，“I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equi pment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new co mputer really puzzled him.It was a strangelooking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experimental model，” his father had explaine d，“so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's w arning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any f urther thought，Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen：“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly，“It's a computer game. I knew it！Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：“ENTER NAMESVOYAGER 1：...VOYAGER 2：...”Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AU TORETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)．”The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we'd better shut it off，Mark，” Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of da zzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died dow n just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys wereno longer there. On the screen，the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RET RIEVE DATE：2025.”4．Why did Mark touch the computer against his father's war ning?A．He wanted to take a voyage. B．He want ed to practice his skill.C．He was so much attracted by it. D．He w as eager to do an experiment.5．Where did the boys' father most likely work?A．In an electronic factory.

D．He was afra id something dangerous might happen.CResearchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadi an parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and .“Our most important finding was the difference between Can adians and the others，” said Professor Michel Claes，the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independen ce and negotiation. On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”Claes said Canada，France and Italy were selected for the study because they sh are important cultural and social factors.“We chose FrenchCa nadians because they share the same language as France，and originally came from France and share certain values. Ital y was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional ties between pare nts and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 t o 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actio ns，according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and Frenc h parents were somewhere in the middle.Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada ，France and Italy.“North America has its own educational values，which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehensio n are encouraged. Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission.” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as w arm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had si milar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant an d cold.“We were surprised by this，” Claes admitted.“It seems as t hough the relationships between French mothers and their chi ldren were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the othe r countries.”8．Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada，France and Italy ________.A．have the same family spirit B．have some similar cultural traditionsC．have experienced some similar social changes D．hav e experienced similar cultural developments9．How did the researchers carry out the study ?A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada，France and Italy.B．By collecting answers of children from Canada，France and Italy.C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Ca nadian families.D．By questioning children from FrenchCanadian familie s.10.

The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the s ame book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to com municate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promo ting reading as an experience to be shared in families and sch ools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who la unched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. H er original program used author visits, study guides and bookdiscussion groups to bring people together with a book, but th e idea has since expanded to many other American cities, an d even to Hong Kong.In , the mayor appeared on television to announce the choi ce of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighb orhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the , stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at nig ht and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and char acter.The only problem arose in ,where local readers could not d ecide on one book to represent the huge and diverse populati on. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather mis sed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choi ce of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not mea sured by how many people read a book, but by how many pe ople are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking t o someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.12. What is the purpose of the project launched by ?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage peo ple to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.13. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projec t?A .They had little interest in reading. B. They were too bus y to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They la cked support from the local government14. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large c ities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached15. According to , the degree of students of the project is judg ed byA. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing po pularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.第二节七选五填空 (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。

AWe thought we had it all --- a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment --- and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband t hat I hadn’t felt in years.That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside an d said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”“But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me --- you’ll hate me,” he replied.I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy --- as long as I have you,” I smiled again as I realized that I wasn’t just saying that. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.21.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that ______.A.they became closer as they struggled togetherB.they hoped to find jobs in the same companyC.neither of them had the courage to face the difficultyD.they were trying to make their relationship closer22.We can learn from the passage that ______.A.they both found good jobs at lastB.both of them were worried about joblessnessC.her husband was to blame for the unemploymentD.they didn’t love each other when they got married23.Which of the following can best describe their present life?A.Bitter but easy.B. Comfortable and happy.B.C. Hard but warm. D. Well-off and relaxing.24.The best title of the passage might be ______.A.We Have It AllB. We Find It Again.B.C.A Perfect Couple D. Hard TimeBThere are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British. If prying into(打探) other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Tea m GB would surely take the gold medal.And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time. However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.25. What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?A. American dramas are longer.B. British soap operas are longer.C. American dramas deal with dangerous things.D. British soap operas deal with real people.26. Why do British people like to watch such operas?A. They can find their own life from the operas.B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.C. They can watch the operas for many years.D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.27. The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.A. playsB. pagesC. issuesD. parts28. One characteristic of British operas is that ______.A. the characters play the same role for a long time.B. the characters in the play often changeC. people don’t know what will happen nextD. there is only one or two characters in themCA. To help quit smoking.B. To lower "bad" cholesterol.C. To improve unhealthy diet.D. To control blood pressure.30. If it has been over 12 hours since you missed a dose, you should .A. change the amount of your next doseB. eat more when taking your next doseC. have a dose as soon as you rememberD. take the next dose at your regular time31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To teach patients ways for quick recovery.B. To present a report on a scientific research.C. To show the importance of a good lifestyle.D. To give information about a kind of medicine.DIt’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.First o f all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work ou t the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper (成功).32. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______.A. mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB. we are afraid of trying new thingsC. it’s common for people to make mistakesD. mistakes are better than not trying33. The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.A. avoidB. removeC. acceptD. solve34. According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is _______A. taking consequences into accountB. accepting the punishment willinglyC. avoiding making the same mistakesD. trying things out one by one35. What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?A. Never mind, I can always try again.B. I’d better stay out of trouble.C. Ok! Now I can learn something.D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.第二节：七选五（共5个小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分）Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.

满分120分。

考试时间100分钟。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解( 共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AThe principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lat ely. In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter．However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Interne t．You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs．Information can be found about how to fulfill your a pplication letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself．The importance of body language is often mentioned，but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves．After all，before a word has even been spoken，your body language will have already given people their first i mpression of you．Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information．Based on your body languag e it can be seen if you are self-confident．It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type a nd it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking tru thfully or not．Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person．someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time．The members of the application committee will ask you questions，but your answers won’t only be oral．The committee will not o nly pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it ‘clicks’，and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds．Everybody uses body language，but it takes place mostly at a subconscious（下意识的） level．Using body language appropriately, you can defin itely increase your chances of getting a job．21.What kind of people is the text mainly meant for?A. InterviewersB. Job-hunting peopleC. EmployersD. Lay-off workers22.We can learn from the first paragraph that_______．A．hand-written letters are not used in finding a jobB．the more expensive clothes interviewees wear, the better C．body language is more important than spoken words D．Internet is of significance in applying for a jobing body language well in a job interview will probably _ ______.A．get rid of the interviewers’ prejudice B．determine what p osition one will getC．increase the possibility to get the wanted job D．help one remove nervousness24.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Those using body language are usually confident. B．Body language is often used on purpose in job hunting. C．Body language is a mirror to reflect one’s personality. D．People enjoying jokes are preferred in a job interview.BOne of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might som e day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencin g the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to serious dis connect between kids and the great outdoors, which will chan ge the wild places of the world, its creatures and human healt h for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoor s will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If th e decline in park use continues across North America, who wil l defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the woods. Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fi ne, but they are missing out a huge enrichment to their lives. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; researc h suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest, Even a tiny o utdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the wo rld. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole univers e in his eyes. We really need to value that more.Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time t o time but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaki ng an arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage. Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens , should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengt hen love, respect and need for the landscapes. As parents, w e should devote some of our energy to taking our kids into nat ure. This could yet be our greatest cause.25. According to the passage, children without experiencing n ature will______A．keep a high sense of wonderB．be over-protected by their parentsC．be less healthy both physically and mentallyD．change wild places and creatures for the better26.According to the author, child ren’s breaking an arm is_____A．the fault on the part of theirparentsB．the natural experience in their growing upC．the result of their own carelessness in playD．the effect of their repetitivestress from computers27.In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to______A．blame children for getting lost in computer gamesB．encourage children to protect parks from encroachmentC．show his concern about children’s lack of experience in natureD．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things aroundCI am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss_away my mobile phone to enjoy a mor e peaceful and ring-free life.Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our hig h-tech, in-a-hurry age, a cell-free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to e xpress their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cell-phone, people would think I was mad.I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I hav e an office phone, a home phone, an e-mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I'm out, pe ople can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/ 7?However, I'm a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Ring s. The power of the ring is too strong and I can't let it go.Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy li fe. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us do n't write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut o ff from our fellow."Where have you been?" said a friend, who saw me a we ek after I lost my cell-phone, "I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disapp eared off the face of the Earth." See, when you don't have a mobile phone, you don't exist.I'm not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serv e us well. So in 2009, I've decided not to serve my mobile ph one. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.28. What does the underlined phrase "toss away" mean?A. give awayB. get awayC. break awayD. throw away29. The writer mentions Frodo to________.A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phoneB. show how much he likes FrodoC. suggest a cell-free life is what he wantsD. introduce a film character to us30. What do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragra ph?A. Mobile phones can do anything for us.B. Mobile phones have become very important in our life.C. We could not live without mobile phones.D. We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away .B. When you don't have a mobile phone, you don't exist.C. The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.D. We humans can control ourselves and machines.DThe world is changing so fast that English, perhaps the most worldly of languages, is struggling to keep up.Learners in the future are likely to be much younger. Young c hildren are often said to be better at language learning than ol der learners but they also have special challenges. Young chil dren don’t usually have the kind of instrumental motivation an d determination for learning English that older learners often h ave. English lessons must therefore be fun and rewarding. The reasons why people learn English are also changing. Glo balization is bringing together more people than ever who spe ak different languages and who are turning to English as the means of communication. The English learners of the future may be less worried about sounding exactly like a native spea ker and more concerned about how to use English effectively in cross-cultural communication. We may be hearing more non-native speakers in dialogues and a wider range of the “New E nglishes” now used around the world.Technology will allow English to come to you, rather than you having to go to a special place to learn English.Learning English has always involved both pain and pleasure, private effort and social activity. Traditional learning provided take-it or leave-it mixes of these as well as of content but in future learners wil l be able to choose a plan which suits their cultural and psych ological dispositions(性情), or their particular needs at that moment. They, rather tha n their teachers, will decide how, what and when they will lear n.Above all, learning English is about communication and an im portant benefit of learning English is being able to exchange v iews and make friends with people all over the world. Despite the growing independence of learners, trusted institutions and brand names will remain important.32. Compared to older learners, young English learners.A. are more active in learningB. are more hard-working in learningC. have more difficulties in learningD. have less lasting determination in learning33. What can we learn about the future English language?A. British English will be more popular.B. American English will be more popular.C. Most people will speak standard English.D. Many different kinds of Englishes will appear.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Future English lessons will be more interesting.B. Old people won’t have to learn English in the future.C. People will pay more attention to English pronunciation.D. Teachers will play a more important role in one’s English le arning.35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Learning English means no pain in the future.B. English training schools will not be popular with young peo ple in the future.C. English learners will become less independent in the future .D. More attention will be paid to personal needs in English lea rning in the future.(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。
