After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No one establishes a fixed number for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the Western world have remained the same throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed a theory called “risk homeostasis”. According to this theory, people naturally l ive with a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to go back to the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive faster, thereby canceling out(抵消)the benefits that the seat belt provides. It appears that we have an innate(天生的)need for danger.In all events, it is becoming clearer that the factors influencing our lifespan(寿命) are far more complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isn’t simply a matter of eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care etc. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists found that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die far more often than people with a sunny character. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.61. What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why_______.A. the mortality rate can not be predictedB. the death number remained stable year after yearC. a fixed number for each type of death has not come into beingD. people lost their lives every year for this or that reason62. In his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards_____.A. have helped solve the problem of so high death rateB. have accounted for mortality rates in the past centuryC. have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deathsD. have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths63. According to the theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from_____ .A. our fast drivingB. our innate desire for riskC. our interest in speedingD. our ignorance of seat belt benefits64. B y saying “…canceling out the benefits that the seat belt provides” (Para. 2),the author means_____ .A. wearing seat belts does not have any benefitsB. deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing themC. deaths from other reasons counterbalance(抗衡) the benefits of wearing seat beltsD. wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents65. Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?A. Smoking once in a whileB. Showing little trust in the communicationC. Eating the food low in fat and driving with great careD. Developing an optimistic personality and never losing heartCKodak’s decision to apply for bankruptcy(破产)protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated(控制) the film market for decades, but finally failed to adapt to the digital revolution.Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complacency(自满) ,” that explanation doesn’t admit the efforts with which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to focus on its traditional film business.Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets. For example, although Kodak predicted the rise of digital photography, its culture was too rooted in the successes of the past to fully welcome the future. In the past, their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic.The 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which weaken Kodak by offering lower prices. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a majorloss. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited(剥削) its sponsorship to win a key role in the market.66. What do we learn about Kodak?A. It went bankrupt all of a sudden.B. It is approaching its downfall.C. It is playing a dominant role in the film market.D. It started the digital revolution in the film industry.67. Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera?A. To show its effort to overcome complacency.B. To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.C. To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.D. To show its will to compete with Japan’s Fuji photo.68. Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets?A. They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.B. They tend to be slow in facing new challenges.C. They are unwilling to invest in new technology.D. They find it costly to give up their existing business.69. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3?A. A joke.B. A mirror.C. A burden.D. A challenge.70. What was Kodak’s major mistake?A. Its blind faith in traditional photography.B. Its failure to see Fuji photo’s action.C. Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.D. Its overconfidence in its own culture. PART FOUR: WRITNG (45 marks )Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Aggressive(攻击性的) behaviour in children has become quite common now. Therefore, it isn't surprising to see an aggressive child throw things at someone while they're angry. Generally, aggressive children tend to disturb classes. They easily have an argument with others when things don't go their way. In a word, they find it difficult to make or maintain friendly relationships.The causes of the aggressive behaviour in a child may be hard to say. It's a combination of several factors which are unsolved stressful issues, trouble dealing with change, extreme parenting, conflicts within the family and spending time with people who display aggressive traits.Fortunately, you can do many things to stop your child's aggressive behaviour. A child equipped to may not tell good behaviour from bad, and it's up to the parent to point out the differences between the two. Take immediate action at the slightest sign of aggression from your child. And your child also needs encouraging for goodness. By doing this, you'll be surely pushing your child to understand that kind acts are always appreciated.Title: Aggressive behaviour in children71 :●Throwing things at someone when angry●72●73 others when things don’t go their way●Having 74 making or maintaining friendly relationships75 :●Unsolved stressful issues●Trouble dealing with change●76●Conflicts within the family●Spending time with people 77Tips for parents:●Tell your children how the good behaviour is 78 the bad behaviour●79 immediately when your child shows something aggressive●80 your child’s good behaviourSection B (10 marks)Directions: Reading the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.Pollution is a growing problem that is facing the international community, but even the actions that we take can make a difference. Littering is creating environmental problems all over the world and is often created by careless actions. If we guard our actions against careless littering we can ensure a better world for everyone.Littering is a severe problem in many countries around the world. For example, the African city of Kampala is suffering from the consequences of littering. For many years the city’s poor didn’t have a proper way to dispose of trash, so garbage filled the streets. Over the years much of the plastic garbage would slowly be pushed into the ground. This plastic litter doesn’t allow rain water to seep（渗透） into the ground and has caused flooding. In many of Kampala’s poor neighborhoods whenever it rains people’s homes become flooded with water. This water is often dirty and has allowed diseases to spread. This flooding has become so bad that the Ugandan government has banned plastic bags in the entire country to stop the littering.Trash often finds its way into the water. Today the world’s oceans are believed to have millions of tons of trash floating around in them. This creates a problem for wildlife because they may accidentally eat the trash and die from it. Scientists have found on very remote islands baby birds that have died because their stomachs were full of trash. Fish often get tangled in plastic and will also die. Our actions in our own countries affect the most remote parts of the planet.We can all be part of the solution to stop this pollution, just by preventing careless littering. If you need to throw something away, find a trash can. If you see a friend littering tell them not to. By making this small change we can create a better world for all.81. What is the cause of littering? (No more than 3words)______________________________________________________________________ _82. How does plastic litter cause flooding? (No more than 11words)______________________________________________________________________ _83. If you need to throw something away, what should you do?

On the road, he passed an elderly woman who was standing by a car with a flat tire. If that were his mother, he thought, he would want someone to help her. With a tired sigh, he turned around and drove back.Just as he reached the stranded woman, a truck pulled up and a burly farmer got out. "Kindof reminds you of your mom, too?" the man asked as the two of them pitched in together to change the tire for the woman.-- Contributed by Katherine L.

So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the c onversation often ends there, said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. Without being told about options for diabetes, she said. “Doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.”The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know at they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past — and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact ontheir health and reduce their risk of obesity-related diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn., which ranks 2014th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoingone and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re going to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you’re going to have to talk to them at virtually everyvisit about their progress, and find something to encourage them about, find progress in some aspect of their care and coach them,”he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be optimistic.“Part of this is that there’s this com mon belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that heavy people are weak-willed and justdon’t have any willpower and are self-indulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversa tion.”61．What is most probably the Stop Obesity Alliance, as in Paragraph 3?A．An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B．An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C．A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D．A research group dealing with doctor – patient relationship.62．How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A．About350. B．About 390.C．About900. D．1,000.63．What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A．They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B．Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C．Without their doctors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D．Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.64．According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A．Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B．Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C．Most patients are too weak – willed to do anything about their weight.D．Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.65．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Obesity in the U.S.B．Trouble of overweight AmericansC．Talk more, help betterD．Doctors or patients – who to bear more blame?COf the thousands of different kinds of animals that exist in the world man has learned to make friends with an enormous number. Some are pets, and offer him companionship; some give protection, and some do hard work which man cannot do for himself. Dogs, which serve manin all four capacities(Korea and China are big dog eaters), are found in various breeds(动物品种) in all countries of the world. The Husky can live in the cold polar regions， and the Saluki is at home in the hottest parts of Central Africa. The inhabitants of certain countries are dependent for their very lives on the camel. In the West Indies the little donkey, strong and sure-footed, carrying heavy loads even in mountainous places, is a familiar sight.Trained and tamed for many generations, domestic animals are not accustomed to roaming in search of food and shelter. They look to their masters to provide for their needs, and as long as these are supplied, they are content to do what their masters require.All domestic animals need proper food. It must be suitable for them, sufficient in quantity, fresh and clean. Some people feed a pet dog or cat on odds and ends of table scraps, and then。

D. t B In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数). Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions. Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end. Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations. What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’tfunction. When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,”I answered，and my face felt warm. 61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate? A. It is wise to value one’s time. B. It is important to make an effort C. It is right to stick to one’s belief. D. It i s enough to do the necessary. 62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______. A. recite their homework together B. grade their homework themselves C. answer their homework questions orally D. check the answers to their homework questions 63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______. A. asked questions in a regular way B. walked up and down when asking questions C. chose two or three questions for the students D. requested her students to finish their usual questions 64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because_______. A. the class didn’t begin as usual B. several students didn’t come to school C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB. A Future MathematicianC. An Effective ApproachD. A Valuable Lesson C The behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own ― though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too. The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existingefforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ’In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home. Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters. Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting thatindividuals’behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一 whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example. Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them. 69. The information gap in energy use _______.A. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB. affects the study on energy monitorsC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users’ old habits 70. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest? A. The social science research is to be furthered. B. The education programme is under discussion. C. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable. D. The behaviour preference of building users is similar. Part IV Writing (45 marks) Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Many of us invest valuable time，energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression. Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK - but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分)• Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days，and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal，how to get from A to B，or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important. Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more sign ificantly to a trip than the right companions. Second，don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions. Section B(10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Kids and Ponds Years ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood. One day. a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures (签名）to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him. At the meeting of the town planning board (委员会)，the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds，his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children. A few days later，the developer stopped his plan. Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness, he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development. Finally some condominiums were built, but less than half the number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land，and are still theretoday. 81. What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter?

in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．Annie Dillard, the author of TEACHING A STONE TO TALK, tells us a sad story about a British Arctic expedition（远征）that took ship in 1845 to explore the Northwest Passage around the Canadian Arctic to the Pacific Ocean．Neither of the two ships and none of the 138 men aboard 36 ．In her book Captain Sir John Franklin prepared as if they were 37 in a pleasure travel rather than a challenging journey through one of earth's 38 ．environments．He packed a 1,200 volume library, china place settings and glass wine cups．Years later, some of them were found near some 39 bodies．The voyage was hopeless when the ships sailed into 40 cold waters and became trapped in ice．First 41 coated the decks, the poles and the rope．Then water froze around the rudders （舵）, and the ships became 42 in the frozen sea desperately．Sailors set out to search for help, but soon 43 to severe Arctic weather and died of exposure to its harsh winds and low temperatures．For the next twenty years, 44 of the expedition were found all over the frozen landscape．Dillard reports that on a voyage that was to last 2-3 years the crew did not prepare for the chance of the ships being ice-locked and the captain 45 just a 12-day supply of coal for the spare steam engines．Historians may doubt the wisdom of such a journey．But I have a question: Are we, too, prepared for the important voyage we've started-the journey we- call " 46 ”? I want to be as ready as possible for what may lie ahead．As long as we are alive, our journey is not over．And in large part, the success of our journey will be 47 by our regular and systematic preparation．36．A．continued B．returned C．existed D．survived37．A．resulting B．consisting C．engaging D．ending38．A．toughest B．excellent C．commonest D．superb39．A．burned B．rotten C．swelled D．frozen40．A．slightly B．lightly C．ordinarily D．extremely41．A．ice B．wave C．steam D．water42．A．lost B．moved C．locked D．opened43．A．put up B．gave in C．brought in D．broke up44．A．library B．place settings C．wine cups D．remains45．A．donated B．carried C．expected D．answered46．A．trouble B．happiness C．life D．death47. A. determined B. damaged C. defeated D. decoratedSection C（12 marks）Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each black with one word that best fits the context．Nearly all of us have dreamed about winning the big prize in a lottery（彩票）We dream about 48 we would do with the money, but we 49 stop to think about how the money would change us．For most of us, our way of life is closely linked 50 our economic circumstances．The different parts of our lives fit together like a jigsaw（拼板）- work, home, friends, hobbies and sports make up our world．51 sudden fortune would change it all and break the jigsaw．For example , some people like the idea of 52 having to work, but winners have found that without work there is no reason to get up in the morning．In seems great to move to a bigger house in a wealthy area, 53 if you do that, you leave old friends behind．Usually, though winners are advised not to publicize _ 54 _ addresses and phone numbers, begging letters still arrive．55 they are not careful, most of their money will be spent on the protection of their possessions．Art ⅢReading Comprehension（30 marks）Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D．Choose the one that fits according to the information given in passage．AMy son drew a smiley face underneath the day of the family calendar．A1l I could manage was a weak smile and an acceptance of the unavoidable event．While he was counting down the days until he left home, I still felt sad and unwi11ing to accept the situation．For 18 years, we had prepared for this moment．But there's still some anxiety in ev ery parent“ was he really ready ?” The boy—man was on his way to becoming a man—boy．A few days later,1 walked in his room and felt it was an empty area of oxygen．Then I looked around and laughed．My missing scissors Just lay on the ground．Sadly, a single sock hung over the chair like a flag．An old and torn Michael Jordan poster hung on the wall．When looking through the possessions he left behind, I found Fred, his teddy bear ,which made the tonsillectomy （扁桃体切除术）seem a little less painful for him．He had marched into the hospital, holding the teddy bear tightly with great determination．And then there were loads of books, like the star wars series, which had fueled his young mind and actually helped motivate his ambitions．Now, he was off to serve his nation．I also remember him sticking his arms out like wings on my shoulders, making sounds like a pilot．He was five then．Who knew he would be a new soldier of the Air National Guard?For a while l wonder if this is a lifetime transition（转变）．when l was a girl baby, I needed my parents for everything．Then I turned into foolish independence and learned the meaning of “no " and“don't put that in your mouth”．Each year I grew a little more independent，finding myself on my own．But in my eyes my son is forever a kid．I never made much money, and I never really cared if my boy did either．I hope that he will face the challenges in his life bravely, tolerate the frustration and never forget

painful．B．The author's delight and unwillingness of her son-s growing up．C．Children's unwillingness to accept their growing up．D．The author-s ignorance of her son's growing up．BCollege visits are important．Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you're choosing a place," that is a good match for your personality and interests．You can-t get the "feel' of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus．Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit．1．Explore on Your ownOf course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own．The trained tour guides will show you a school's selling points．But the o1dest and prettiest buildings don't give you the entire plcture of a college．Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus．2．Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls．take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards．They provide an easy way to see what's happening on campus．The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what's going on outside the classrooms．3．Eat in the Dining HallYou can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall．Try to sit with students if you can．Do the students seem happy or stressed? Also, is the food good? Are there adequate healthy options? Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons（优惠券）for free meals in the dining halls．4．Visit a Class in Your MajorIf you know what you want to study, a class visit makes a lot of sense．You'll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion．Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major．Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit—most colleges don't allow visitors to drop in on class unannounced．5．Talk to Lots of StudentsYour campus tour guide has been trained to market the sch001．Try to talk to students who aren't getting paid to impress you．These important conversations can often provide you with information about c01lege life that isn't part of the admission script．Few university officials wi11 tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking of studying, but a group of random students might.For more tips，please go to collegeapps．about．com．61. The best way to know about a college in an official campus t伽r is____．A．to walk around the campus aloneB．to take pictures of the campusC．to Visit the oldest and prettiest buildingsD．to hire a tour guide62．Reading the bulletin boards can help youA．decide the major you want to studyB．find out the after-class activities on campusC．get free coupons from the admission officesD．find out the options of healthy food63．If you plan to attend a class on campus,A．drop in on a class in your majorB．have talks with the students in the classC．make an appointment in advanceD．ask how the students like their teachers and majors64．To get a real idea of the college during a visit, it's best to talk toA．famous professors B．campus tour guidesC．admission officers D．random students65．Where does the passage probably come from?A．A news report．B．A tourist poster．C．An educational journal．D．A geographical magazine．CWikipedia is an online encyclopedia（百科全书）．This name is a combination of“wiki" and “encyclopedia"．Wiki is the Hawaiian word for quick．Wiki websites are designed to enable users to make addition or edit any page Of the site．Wikipedia has been accused of exhibiting systemic prejudice and mistakes．Critics argue that Wikipedia's open nature and a lack of proper sources for much of the information makes it unreliable,Mention Wikipedia within the walls of academy and you'll find no shortage of opinions．That-s no surprise．Can an online encyclopedia that is edited by anyone be trusted as a credible information source? Should students be encouraged to use this tool? And is it even possible to discourage its users?To find out, we performed a simple experiment．We selected 100 terms from the U．S．history textbooks, We chose a mix of items that students might be asked to research for a test or paper and we entered each item into Google to find out which websites the search engine suggests as the most useful links．The results are shocking．Google listed Wikipedia as the number one: 87 times out of 100．Several conclusions can be drawn from this finding．First, people searching for information about these historical terms are finding the entries from Wikipedia helpful．Second, 6'banning" the use of Wikipedia appears hopelessly simple-minded．Jimmy Wales, one of Wikipedia's founders, told the New York Times, "They might as well suggest not listening to rock & roll either"．To our untrained eyes, the information from Wikipedia appeared just as reliable．The reason why the content is mostly reliable is probably that these terms are rather mainstream．The high-school level content is less likely to be wrong than the subjects studied in graduate schools．So when primary and secondary students are researching history, Wikipedia is still a proper place to start．66．Which of the following can best describe Wikipedia?A．Wikipedia is from the Hawaiian language with the meaning of prejudice and mistakes．B．Wikepedia is an online encyclopedia edited freely．C．Wikipedia is an encyclopedia under public attack．D．Wikipedia isa t60l for enjoying rock & roll．67．What does "it" in the second paragraph refer to?A．Wikipedia's open nature．B．Wikipedia's lack of proper sources．C．WikipediaD．Information on the Internet．68．From the underlined sentence we can conclude that ．A．Wikipedia serves only primary and secondary studentsB．people are always ready to find faults with othersC．Wikipedia has a range of topics and is rich in knowledgeD．people hold different opinions about Wikipedia69．What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?` A．Wikipedia can be useful in certain aspects．B．Students should be discouraged from using Wikipedia．C．The information from Wikipedia is totally reliable．D．Wikipedia cannot be trusted at all．70．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Wikipedia-a perfect encyclopediaB．Wikipedia-a misleading encyclopediaC．Wikipedia-a paper encyclopediaD．Wikipedia-a helpful online encyclopediaPartⅣWriting （45 marks）Section A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．In recent years, Smart Grid Technology is being promoted by many countries．It means the application of a digital system to the electricity network．Smart Grid Technology aims to provide the electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand, and use the information to create a more efficient power network．The digital system can be used for companies to collect information about 'supply arid demand and improve engineers' ability to manage the system．With better information about the electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential decreases in fuel needs and carbon emission（排放）．Moreover, the digital system will assist in reducing maintenance costs．Smart Grid Technology offers benefits to consumers too．Through Smart meter, the equipment used by consumers to record power use in real time, the technology makes it possible to charge differently the appliances （电器）used at different times．Therefore, consumers may use their appliances, for example, washing machines at night．Smart meters can also be connected to the Internet or the telephone system, making it more convenient for consumers to switch appliances on or off when they are out．With these changes comes a range of challenges．The first involves managing the supply and demand．Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are unpredictable．With alternative sources, this is far more difficult, and may lead to the failure of the system．A second problem is the fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and coastal regions, which lack electrical infrastructure．Therefore, it is necessary to build new infrastructure there．Although Smart Grid Technology is still in its early years, people believe that by the year 2050, changes in the energy supply will have transformed our homes, our roads and our behavior．Isn’t it a bright future?Section B（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Aaswer the questions according to the information given in the passage．Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit．Before I advertised for the position,1 was approached by another manager, my wife's friend, and asked if l would consider a transfer from his staff．It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts her boss had made to settle the issues．Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts．What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands．I told him l would think about it and would let him know the next day．After thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that l would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision．And, what I found out during this interview left me deep in thought．As it turned out, the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never encouraged his employees, and was constantly changing the workload and routines．The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident and hated to see a new workday start．I decided to accept her transfer to my unit．What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employees that I had ever worked with．Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more responsibility．I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with．Sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing or developing as they should or could．It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like．81．According to the first paragraph, why did the author plan to advertise?（No more than 8 words）（2 marks）To replace a receptionist for his unit．/He wanted a new receptionist．82．How did the author get to know about Maria after hearing her boss's description of her? （No more than11 words）（2 marks）By speaking with her privately before he made any decision．／He spoke with her privately before he made any decision．83．In Maria's eyes, how did her former boss treat his employees? （No more than 14 words）（3 marks）He never encouraged his employees and was constantly changing the workload and routines．84．What reaction did the author have towards Maria's good performances in her new unit? （No more than8 words）（3 marks）He praised, respected and encouraged her．/ He gave her praise, respect and encouragement．Section C (25

tells us a sad story about a British Arctic expedition（远征）that took ship in 1845 to explore the Northwest Passage around the Canadian Arctic to the Pacific Ocean．Neither of the two ships and none of the 138 men aboard 36 ．In her book Captain Sir John Franklin prepared as if they were 37 in a pleasure travel rather than a challenging journey through one of earth's 38 ．environments． He packed a 1,200 volume library, china place settings and glass wine cups． Years later, some of them were found near some 39 bodies．The voyage was hopeless when the ships sailed into 40 cold waters and became trapped in ice．First 41 coated the decks, the poles and the rope．Then water froze around the rudders （舵） , and the ships became 42 in the frozen sea desperately．Sailors set out to search for help, but soon 43 to severe Arctic weather and died of exposure to its harsh winds and low temperatures．For the next twenty years, 44 of the expedition were found all over the frozen landscape．Dillard reports that on a voyage that was to last 2-3 years the crew did not prepare for the chance of the ships being ice-locked and the captain 45 just a 12-day supply of coal for the spare steam engines．Historians may doubt the wisdom of such a journey．But I have a question: Are we, too, prepared for the important voyage we've started-the journey we- call " 46 ”?I want to be as ready as possible for what may lie ahead．As long as we are alive, our journey is not over．And in large part, the success of our journey will be 47 by our regular and systematic preparation．36．A．continued B．returned C．existed

dreamed about winning the big prize in a lottery（彩票） We dream about 48 we would do with the money, but we 49 stop to think about how the money would change us．For most of us, our way of life is closely linked 50 our economic circumstances．The different parts of our lives fit together like a jigsaw（拼板）- work, home, friends, hobbies and sports make up our world． 51 sudden fortune would change it all and break the jigsaw．For example , some people like the idea of 52 having to work, but winners have found that without work there is no reason to get up in the morning．In seems great to move to a bigger house in a wealthy area, 53 if you do that, you leave old friends behind．Usually, though winners are advised not to publicize _ 54 _ addresses and phone numbers, begging letters still arrive． 55 they are not careful, most of their money will be spent on the protection of their possessions．Art Ⅲ Reading Comprehension（30 marks）Directions: Read the following three passages． Each passage is

（扁桃体切除术）seem a little less painful for him．He had marched into the hospital, holding the teddy bear tightly with great determination．And then there were loads of books, like the star wars series, which had fueled his young mind and actually helped motivate his ambitions．Now, he was off to serve his nation．I also remember him sticking his arms out like wings on my shoulders, making sounds like a pilot．He was five then．Who knew he would be a new soldier of the Air National Guard?For a while l wonder if this is a lifetime transition（转变）．when l was a girl baby, I needed my parents for

from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus．Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit．1．Explore on Your ownOf course you should take the official campus tour, but be

to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus．2．Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls．take a few minutes to read the

a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall．Try to sit with students if you can．Do the students seem happy or stressed?

Should students be encouraged to use this tool? And is it even possible to discourage its users?To find out, we performed a simple experiment．We selected 100 terms from the U．S．history textbooks, We chose a mix of items that students might be asked to research for a test or paper and we entered each item into Google to find out which websites the search engine suggests as the most useful links． The results are shocking． Google listed Wikipedia as the number one: 87 times out of 100．Several conclusions can be drawn from this finding． First, people searching for information about these historical terms are finding the entries from Wikipedia helpful．Second, 6'banning" the use of Wikipedia appears hopelessly simple-minded．Jimmy Wales, one of Wikipedia's founders, told the New York Times, "They might as well suggest not listening to rock & roll either"．To our untrained eyes, the information from Wikipedia appeared just as reliable．The reason why the content is mostly reliable is probably that these terms are rather mainstream．The high-school level content is less likely to be wrong than the subjects studied in graduate schools．So when primary and secondary students are researching history, Wikipedia is still a proper place to start．66．Which of the following can best describe Wikipedia?A．Wikipedia is from the Hawaiian language with the meaning of prejudice and mistakes．B．Wikepedia is an online encyclopedia edited freely．C．Wikipedia is an encyclopedia under public attack．D． Wikipedia isa t60l for enjoying rock & roll．67．What does "it" in the second paragraph refer to?A．Wikipedia's open nature．B．Wikipedia's lack of proper sources．C．WikipediaD．Information on the Internet．68．From the underlined sentence we can conclude that ．A．Wikipedia serves only primary and secondary studentsB．people are always ready to find faults with othersC．Wikipedia has a range of topics and is rich in knowledgeD．people hold different opinions about Wikipedia69． What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?` A． Wikipedia can be useful in certain aspects．B．Students should be discouraged from using Wikipedia．C．The information from Wikipedia is totally reliable．D．Wikipedia cannot be trusted at all．70．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Wikipedia-a perfect encyclopediaB．Wikipedia-a misleading encyclopediaC．Wikipedia-a paper encyclopediaD．Wikipedia-a helpful online encyclopediaPartⅣ Writing （45 marks）Section A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．In recent years, Smart Grid Technology is being promoted by many countries．It means the application of a digital system to the electricity network．Smart Grid Technology aims to provide the electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand, and use the information to create a more efficient power network．The digital system can be used for companies to collect information about 'supply arid demand and improve engineers' ability to manage the system．With better information about the electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential decreases in fuel needs and carbon emission（排放）．Moreover, the digital system will assist in reducing maintenance costs．Smart Grid Technology offers benefits to consumers too．Through Smart meter, the equipment used by consumers to record power use in real time, the technology makes it possible to charge differently the appliances（电器）used at different times．Therefore, consumers may use their appliances, for example, washing machines at night．Smart meters can also be connected to the Internet or the telephone system, making it more convenient for consumers to switch appliances on or off when they are out．With these changes comes a range of challenges．The first involves managing the supply and demand．Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are unpredictable．With alternative sources, this is far more difficult, and may lead to the failure of the system．A second problem is the fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and coastal regions, which lack electrical infrastructure．Therefore, it is necessary to build new infrastructure there．Although Smart Grid Technology is still in its early years, people believe thatby the year 2050, changes in the energy supply will have transformed our homes, our roads and our behavior．Isn’t it a bright future?Section B（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Aaswer the questions according to the information given in the passage．Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit． Before I advertised for the position,1 was approached by another manager, my wife's friend, and asked if l would consider a transfer from his staff．It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts her boss had made to settle the issues．Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts． What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands．I told him l would think about it and would let him know the next day．After thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that l would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision．And, what I found out during this interview left me deep in thought．As it turned out, the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never encouraged his employees, and was constantly changing the workload and routines．The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident and hated to see a new workday start．I decided to accept her transfer to my unit． What started out as a shy, withdrawnand frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employees that I had ever worked with．Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more responsibility．I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with．Sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing or developing as they should or could． It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like．81．According to the first paragraph, why did the author plan to advertise?（No more than 8 words）（2 marks）To replace a receptionist for his unit．/He wanted a new receptionist．82．How did the author get to know about Maria after hearing her boss's description of her? （No more than 11 words）（2 marks）By speaking with her privately before he made any decision．／He spoke with her privately before he made any decision．83．In Maria's eyes, how did her former boss treat his employees? （No more than 14 words）（3 marks）He never encouraged his employees and was constantly changing the workload and routines．84．What reaction did the author have towards Maria's good performances in her new unit? （No more than 8 words）（3 marks）He praised, respected and encouraged her．/ He gave her praise, respect and encouragement．Section C (25

usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had apeared on our homework sheets．She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end．Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer．This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations．What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate．As Mrs．Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get．I tried to work it out before she got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function．When Mrs．Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14．"I…I didn't get anything，"I answered，and my face felt warm．"Correct，"she said．It turned out that the correct answer was zero．What did I learn that day？First，always do all your homework．Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters．Third，I would never make it as a mathematician．If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one．61．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1indicate？A．It is wise to value one's time．B．It is important to make an effortC．It is right to stick to one's belief．D．It is enough to do the necessary．62．Usually，Mrs．Totten asked her students to．A．recite their homework togetherB．grade their homework themselvesC．answer their homework questions orallyD．check the answers to their homework questions63．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always．A．asked questions in a regular wayB．walked up and down when asking questionsC．chose two or three questions for the studentsD．requested her students to finish their usual questions64．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because．A．the class didn't begin as usualB．several students didn't come to schoolC．he didn't try hard to make his estimateD．Mrs．Totten didn't start from the back of the class65，Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A．An Unforgettable TeacherB．A Future MathematicianC．An Effective ApproachD．A Valuable Lesson．66．（10分）The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use，according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre （UKERC）．The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions （排放）by 80percent by 2050，part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero ﹣carbon by 2016．But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own﹣though extremely important﹣is not enough to achieve such reductions：the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too．The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency （效率），which instead focus on architectural and technological developments．‘Technology is goi ng to assist but it is not going to do everything，'explains Katy Janda，a UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design．'In other words，old habits die hard，even in the best﹣designed eco﹣home．Another part of the problem is information．Households and bill﹣payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy﹣use habits．Without specific information，it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices．Feedback （反馈）facilities，like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use；some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15percent energy savings using smart meters．Social science research has added a further dimension （方面），suggesting that individuals'behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat （恒温器），for example．Janda argues that education is the key．She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them．66．As to energy use，the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of．A．zero﹣carbon homesB．the behaviour of building usersC．sustainable building designD．the reduction of carbon emissions67．The underlined word"which"in Paragraph 2refers to"．"A．the waysB．their homesC．developmentsD．existing efforts68．What are Katy Janda's words mainly about？A．The importance of changing building users，habits．B．The necessity of making a careful building design．C．The variety of consumption patterns of building users．D．The role of technology in improving energy efficiency．69．The information gap in energy use．A．can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB．affects the study on energy monitorsC．brings about problems for smart metersD．will be caused by building users'old habits70．What does the dimension added by social science research suggest？A．The social science research is to be furthered．B．The education programme is under discussion．C．The behaviour of building users is unpredictable．D．The behaviour preference of building users is similar．PartIVWriting（45marks）71．（20分）Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Many of us invest valuable time，energy and money planning our vacations．We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us．Research proves this feeling without a doubt．Vacations help us perform better at work，improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression．Yet，despite these benefits，many of us return home with a feeling that our lastvacation was OK﹣but not great．In order to change this，some mistakes should be avoided．A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components （组成部分）•Perhaps you're planning a trip to Europe，seven cities in 10days，and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory，but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness﹣time to take in our new surroundings，time to be present and absorb our travel experiences．Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal，how to get from A to B，or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey．These issues may seem important，but our psychological state of mind is far more important．Actually，vacation happiness is based on the following top rules．First，choose your travel companions wisely，because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions．Second，don't spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood．Third，shop wisely，for meaningful experiences provide more long﹣term happiness than physical possessions．71．72．73．74．75．76．77．78．79．80．．81．（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage．Kids and PondsYears ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick，Rhode Island．In summer they caught frogs and fish．When winter arrived they couldn't wait to go skating．Time passed，and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood．One day．a thirteen﹣year﹣old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums．So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures （签名）to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him．At the meeting of the town planning board （委员会），the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly．But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds，his voice grew louder．He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens．He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children．A few days later，the developer stopped his plan．Nine years later，when that teen was a senior in college，he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums．Now twenty﹣twoyears old，he was studying wetlands ecology．He again appeared before the town planning board．This time as an expert witness，he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development．Finally some condominiums were built，but less than half the number the developer wanted．The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land，and are still there today．81．What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter？（No more than 6words）（2marks）SectionC（25marks）Directions：WriteanEnglishcompositionaccordingtotheinstructionsgivenbelow．85．（25分）学校正在组织科技创新大赛，你想为日常生活中某件物品（如钢笔、书包、鞋子…）设计添加新功能来参赛．请以"My

After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No one establishes a fixed number for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout theWestern world have remained the same throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed a theory called “risk homeostasis”. According to this theory, people naturally l ive with a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to go back to the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive faster, thereby canceling out(抵消)the benefits that the seat belt provides. It appears that we have an innate(天生的)need for danger.In all events, it is becoming clearer that the factors influencing our lifespan(寿命) are far more complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isn’t simply a matter of eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care etc. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists found that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die far more often than people with a sunny character. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.61. What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why_______.A. the mortality rate can not be predictedB. the death number remained stable year after yearC. a fixed number for each type of death has not come into beingD. people lost their lives every year for this or that reason62. In his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards_____.A. have helped solve the problem of so high death rateB. have accounted for mortality rates in the past centuryC. have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deathsD. have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths63. According to the theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from_____ .A. our fast drivingB. our innate desire for riskC. our interest in speedingD. our ignorance of seat belt benefits64. B y saying “…canceling out the benefits that the seat belt provides” (Para. 2), the author means_____ .A. wearing seat belts does not have any benefitsB. deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing themC. deaths from other reasons counterbalance(抗衡) the benefits of wearing seat beltsD. wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents65. Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?A. Smoking once in a whileB. Showing little trust in the communicationC. Eating the food low in fat and driving with great careD. Developing an optimistic personality and never losing heartCKodak’s decision to apply for bankruptcy(破产)protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated(控制) the film market for decades, but finally failed to adapt to the digital revolution.Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complacency(自满) ,” that explanation doesn’t admit the efforts with which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to focus on its traditional film business.Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets. For example, although Kodak predicted the rise of digital photography, its culture was too rooted in the successes of the past to fully welcome the future. In the past, their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. The 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which weaken Kodak by offering lower prices. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film fo r the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major loss. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited(剥削) its sponsorship to win a key role in the market.66. What do we learn about Kodak?A. It went bankrupt all of a sudden.B. It is approaching its downfall.C. It is playing a dominant role in the film market.D. It started the digital revolution in the film industry.67. Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera?A. To show its effort to overcome complacency.B. To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.C. To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.D. To show its will to compete with Japan’s Fuji photo.68. Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets?A. They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.B. They tend to be slow in facing new challenges.C. They are unwilling to invest in new technology.D. They find it costly to give up their existing business.69. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3?A. A joke.B. A mirror.C. A burden.D. A challenge.70. What was Kod ak’s major mistake?A. Its blind faith in traditional photography.B. Its failure to see Fuji photo’s action.C. Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.D. Its overconfidence in its own culture. PART FOUR: WRITNG (45 marks )Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Aggressive(攻击性的) behaviour in children has become quite common now. Therefore, it isn't surprising to see an aggressive child throw things at someone while they're angry. Generally, aggressive children tend to disturb classes. They easily have an argument with others when things don't go their way. In a word, they find it difficult to make or maintain friendly relationships.The causes of the aggressive behaviour in a child may be hard to say. It's a combination of several factors which are unsolved stressful issues, trouble dealing with change, extreme parenting, conflicts within the family and spending time with people who display aggressive traits.Fortunately, you can do many things to stop your child's aggressive behaviour. A child equipped to may not tell good behaviour from bad, and it's up to the parent to point out the differences between the two. Take immediate action at the slightest sign of aggression from your child. And your child also needs encouraging for goodness. By doing this, you'll be surely pushing your child to understand that kind acts are always appreciated.Title: Aggressive behaviour in children71 :●Throwing things at someone when angry●72●73 others when things don’t go their way●Having 74 making or maintaining friendly relationships75 :●Unsolved stressful issues●Trouble dealing with change●76●Conflicts within the family●Spending time with people 77Tips for parents:●Tell your children how the good behaviour is 78 the bad behaviour●79 immediately when your child shows something aggressive●80 your ch ild’s good behaviourSection B (10 marks)Directions:Reading the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.Pollution is a growing problem that is facing the international community, but even the actions that we take can make a difference. Littering is creating environmental problems all over the world and is often created by careless actions. If we guard our actions against careless littering we can ensure a better world for everyone.Littering is a severe problem in many countries around the world. For example, the African city of Kampala is suffering from the consequences of littering. For many years the city’s poor didn’t have a proper way to dispose of trash, so garbage filled the streets. Over the years much of the plastic garbage would slowly be pushed into the ground. This plastic litter doesn’t allow rain water to seep（渗透）into the ground and has caused flooding. In many of Kampala’s poor neighborhoods whenever it rains people’s homes become flooded with water. This water is often dirty and has allowed diseases to spread. This flooding has become so bad that the Ugandan government has banned plastic bags in the entire country to stop the littering.Trash often finds its way into the water. Today the world’s oceans are believed to have millions of tons of trash floating around in them. This creates a problem for wildlife because they may accidentally eat the trash and die from it. Scientists have found on very remote islands baby birds that have died because their stomachs were full of trash. Fish often get tangled in plastic and will also die. Our actions in our own countries affect the most remote parts of the planet.We can all be part of the solution to stop this pollution, just by preventing careless littering. If you need to throw something away, find a trash can. If you see a friend littering tell them not to.By making this small change we can create a better world for all.81.
