They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”．31．The authorA. believes both of the stories B．doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC．is not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun32.According to the passage，President JacksonA．couldn’t draw up any documents at all B. wasn’t good at reading，writing or spellingC．of ten had his assistants sign documents for him D . didn’t like to read important papers by himself33．According to the first story, the term “OK”A. was first used by President JacksonB．was the title of some Official documentsC．was approved of by President JacksonD．was an old way to spell“all correct’’34 .According to the second story，the term‘‘OK”A．was the short way to say‘‘old Kinderhook Club”B．meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC．was the name of Van Buren’s clubD．was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the electionBMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His panies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the b enefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.35. A lfred’s business was _____.A. not making and selling weaponsB. making and selling explosivesC. making explosives and selling weaponsD. making weapons and selling explosives36. Nobel wanted to set up the Nobel Peace Prize because _____.A. he hated warB. he made enough moneyC. he wanted to get more interest from the fundD. he liked to live in a peaceful world37. Nobel Prizes e from _____.A. all Nobel’s money in the fundB. all Nobel’s money in his panyC. some of the interest in the fundD. all the interest from the fund38. Which statement of the following is Right according to the passage?A. Nobel set up his pany to sell clothes.B. Most of Nobel’s money was used for the world Wars.C. Nobel Prizes are only for some people from some special countries.D. Nobel worked hard in his life and saved lots of money for the world toshare.CTrees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods．Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbersTwo thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poor．When the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation．Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this．They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees．The results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in，and also bind the soil．This prevents the soil from being washed away．But where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When a11 the topsoil is gone,nothing remains but worthless desert．39．Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can ____A. keep him from the hot sunshine B．protect him from droughts and floodsC．make him draw quick profit from them D . enable him to build warships 40．It’s a great pity that ____A．man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himB．man is eager to profit from treesC．man is only interested in building empiresD. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees41．Sooner or later the forests will disappear ______．A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB．unless people stop cutting down their treesC．unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them D．unless aIl people are taught the importance of planting trees42．The word“bind”in Paragraph 5 means“_____”A．to wash awayB．to make stay togetherC．to make wetD．to improveDWe can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?…‘When I got that great job，did Jerry really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back,doubts like these can make us feel bad．But when we look back,i t’s too lateWhy do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don’t really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words．Suppose someone tells you．‘‘you’re a lucky dog”．Is he really on your side? if he says．“You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”．That’s being friendly．But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself．But bringing in the ‘‘dog” bit puts you down a little．What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck．How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.43．This passage tries to tell you how to ______A．avoid mistakes about money and friendsB．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell youC．bring the“dog’’bit into our conversationD keep people friendly without trusting them44．In listening to a person,the important thing is ______A. to notice his tone，his posture，and the look in his eyesB. to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC. not to believe what he saysD. to check his words against his manner，his tone of voice，and his posture45．If you followed the advice of the writer，you would ______A. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youB. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youD. be able to observe people as they are talking to you第二节（共5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he'll fix them for you right away.”But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman. “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” -- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron, looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “e back in a week.”I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare fort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.5. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.C. He was proud of his skills.D. He was a native Parisian.6. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” (paragraph 7) implies that__________.A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like himB. it was difficult to municate with this manC. the man was very strangeD. the man was too old7. According to the author, many people work just to__________________.A. realize their abilitiesB. gain happinessC. make moneyD. gain respect8. This story wants to tell us that_____________________.A. craftsmen make a lot of moneyB. whatever you do, do it wellC. craftsmen need self-respectD. people are born equalCWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughs turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing are controlled by the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.Whatever helps us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us bee kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and fort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering-can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illness. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural, healthy and emotional response.9. It can be inferred from the textthat____________________.A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. emotional health has a close relationship to physical healthC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. crying does more good to health than laughing10. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.11. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Why We CryB. How to Keep HealthyC. Power of TearsD. New Scientific DiscoveryDAs Internet users bee more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your puter will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the firstexperiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a puter. The first group of people understood that the puter would save the information. The second group understood that the puter would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific puter folder. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory".According to Sparrow, we are not being people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, puter users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are being either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.12. The passage begins with two questions to ___________________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author's attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information13. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a puter.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.14. In transactive memory, people ___________________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a puterD. remember how to find the information15. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are being more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to get information.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (输输) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital, said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (输输输) value.

However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into live streaming (直播)users or followers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other live streaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to live streaming to reach out to the world. For them live streaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with live streamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the live streaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Live streaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to live stream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our live streaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s live streaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, live streaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.1．What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A．To introduce some popular live streaming platforms in China.B．To report data on the development of live streaming in 2019.C．To show that Chinese people spend too much time on live streaming apps.D．To prove that live streaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.2．What does Wang Hao think of commenting on live streaming?A．It is boring to make comments.B．It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C．It makes people feel involved in the stream.D．It helps live streamers improve themselves.3．What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A．Live streaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B．Many businesses turned to live streaming platform for marketing.C．Live streaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D．Live streaming platforms made changes to their services.4．How does the author feel about the future of live streaming？A．Positive.B．Uncertain.C．Disappointed.D．Confused.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

So, I’ll do it for them.”Well, this m orning I was out walking my neighbor’s dog when I saw another neighbor, a much younger man, out doing the same thing! He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.When I commented on what a good job he w as doing, he said, “Well, an older fellow in our street does this. And my friend and I thought it wasn’t fair that he had to do it all the time, so now we take turns.”Not only was he taking a turn, not only did he have a friend join in as well, but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation (代)! By the time I had returned the dog to my neighbor I looked again and his children’s friends had joined in!This man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street tidy.

However, now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting. It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women’s competitions ent ered an organized professional environment.

Low-Cost Gifts for Mother’s DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mother’s health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.

This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.Gift No. 3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and fortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”Gift No. 4Some gift panies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity.

He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interv iew. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease （油脂） on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interv iewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was General Manager of the pany.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy satdown and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.4.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of work.B. He hoped to find a better boss.C. He wanted a higher position.D. He was bored with his job.5.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A. an old man’s car broke down.B. a wild man was pushing a car.C. a terrible accident happened.D. A friend’s car had a flat tyre.6.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A. He needed a traveling panion.B. He was also to be interviewed.C. He always helped people in need.D. He was thankful to Jimmy.7.What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？A. Where there is a will, there’s a way.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Good is rewarded with good.CIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now tha t I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most mon reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll e clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).8. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By judging his manner of speaking.B. By mentioning a famous name.C. By looking into his background.D. By discussing the book itself.9. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.B. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.10. By lying about reading, a person hopes to ________.A. control the conversation.B. appear knowledgeable.C. learn about the book.D. make more friends.11. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?A. DoubtfulB. UncaringC. FavorableD. FriendlyDFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a 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 and pumping blood around their bodies, pared 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 ofcontraction 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 showed 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.”12. What is the finding of the study?A. Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.B. One’s heart affects how he feels fear.C. Fear has something to do with one’s health.D. One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.13. The study was carried out by analyzing _______.A. volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures.B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions.C. volunteers’reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans.D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain munication.14. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?A. orderB. systemC. machineD. treatment15. This study may contribute to _______.A. treating anxiety and stress better.B. explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety.C. finding the key to the heart-brain munication.D. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

On a notice boardB. On a teenage websiteC. In a company brochure.D. In a college newsBSome people seem to have great memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a “memory athlete” on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!You would think people like this have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from the US and the Netherlands, the brain structures of ordinary people and 23 of the world’s leading memory athletes show no difference.That’s because good memories can be trained. New research in the journal Neuron(神经元期刊) suggests that you can become a super memorizer with just six weeks of hard training.Researchers found that technique(技巧) called loci, invented by ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory. By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain’s memory networks. You can link(关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be handle(把手) on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 words. First they could only remember 26 of them. But when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.“Not everyone can become a memory champion. But everyone using the technique can improve a lot from the level they’re at,” said Boris Konrad, one of the resea rchers in the study.5.According to the study, ________.a. memory athletes have special brainsb. ordinary people and memory athletes have similar brain structuresc. hard training can make a person a super memorizerd. the ancient Greeks had the most powerful memory at that timeA. abB. cdC. bcD. ac6.When using loci to remember something, you link the thing with a _______.A. numberB. placeC. nameD. painting7.Which of the following about the study is NOT true? ________.A. People were given 20 minutes to remember the 72 words.B. They could remember 26 words in their own way.C. They could remember all the words by using loci.D. Loci helped them remember 36 more words.CEveryone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 millionhouse in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun. Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this yea r and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .8. We can infer from the text that most millionaires are __________.A. older than 20B. around 20C. in their 30sD. in their 40s9. The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to __________.A. a person in generalB. a special personC. Britney SpearsD. a person interested in money10. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.11. According to Britney Spears, she works __________.A. to be a great actressB. for the enjoymentC. for moneyD. to be more famousDThere is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will write only words within his spelling range(范围). That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content（内容）rather than technical（技术的）ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had failed to read the composition（作文）, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would ha ve given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.12.The expression “play safe” probably means _______.A. to write carefullyB. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. to avoid using words one is not sure of13.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________.A. students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more trust in writingD. students will learn to spell words correctly14.The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _______.A. reasonableB. unfairC. foolishD. careless15.The major point discussed in the passage is _______.A. the importance of developing writing skillsB. the importance of spellingC. the correct way of marking compositionD. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）请注意：该题必须将答案转涂到二卷答题卡上，否则该题不得分。

AI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1,1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University—coincidentally ,the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In fact , though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says—a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so…”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me.1. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad.B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared.D. Happy and interested.2. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.3. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.4. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family GatheringsB. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me—My Not-So-Little Little BrotherD. The Feeling of Having a BrotherBHave You Read Them?TimeTime is a weekly news magazine founded by Briton Hadden and Henry R. Luce. Time’s current circulation(发行量) is about 4.3 million.

DailyChina Daily is the first and only national English language newspaper in China, launched in Beijing on June 1, 1981. Distributed in more than 150 countries and regions, China Daily is one of China’smajor information sources for English language readers who want to learn about China’s political, economic, cultural and social development.5.

The passage is probably taken from __________ Edition.A. TravelB. BusinessC. BankingD. AdvertisementCChildren who see their parents drunk are twice likely to get drunk themselves, a survey of young teenagers has suggested. Poor parental supervision also raises the chances of teenage drinking, said the Joesph Rowntree Foundation. If parents don’t know where their children are on a Saturday night, or let them watch films of violence, they are more likely to have had an alcoholic drink.The survey also found the behavior of friends is also a powerful factor in drinking habits. The more time teenagers spend with friends, the more likely they are to drink alcohol.In this survey of 5,700 children aged 13 to 16, carried out by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, researchers found that one in five wanted to have a drink by the time they were 14. By the age of 16, half of those questioned said they had been drunk.Pamela Bremner, scientist of the survey, said, “For the first time in the UK, this st udy shows what most influences young people’s drinking behavior.”“It found that the behavior of friends and family is the most common influential factor in determining how likely and how often a young person will drink alcohol.”Don Shenker, Chief E xecutive of Alcohol Concern, said, “Government ministers must also look atsome of the causes of why it is so easy for children to get alcohol, usually from the home.”“Governments should look to see if they’ve done everything they can to help the large supermarkets from continuing to sell cheap alcohol which encourages more alcohol sales and therefore results in more alcohol being stored in the home.”The Royal College of Physicians also said it was not surprising that being able to get alcohol easily was an important factor on current drinking problems and drunkenness of teenagers.A statement said, “This shows that the government needs to focus more attention on increasing the price of alcohol, and increasing education and national campaigns for both young people and their families on the dangers of alcohol.”9. How many teenagers admitted that they had been drunk in the survey carried out by the Joseph RowntreeFoundation?A. About 5700.B. About 1200.C. About 2800.D. About 4200.10. Who should be responsible for the fact that some teenagers formed the habit of drinking besidestheir parents and friends, according to Don Shenker?B. Governments.C. Supermarkets.D. Themselves.A. Theirteachers.11.Which methods can help reduce the chances of teenage drinking according to the passage?a. Parents should strengthen supervision.b. Parents should set a good example.c. The government should increase the price of alcohol.d. The supermarket that sells alcohol should be punished.e. We should increase education for young people on the dangers of alcohol.f. The supermarket should be banned from selling alcohol to teenagers.A. a b c eB. a b d fC. a d e fD. b c d eDFAMOUS US columnist (专栏作家) George F. Wil l once wrote: “Baseball is a habit. The slow build to the end of each game, the rhythm of the long season—these are the essentials and they are remarkably unchanged over nearly a century and a half. Of how many American institutions (制度) can that be said? ”He is right. Baseball, only one word, is enough to make millions of people in the US think of many images—spring afternoons, cold beers and hot dogs.As the USA Today newspaper put it, “A hot dog at the ballpark is always better than one out ofthe micr owave. ”Delicious treats aside, baseball is also a game for fathers and sons to enjoy. They play catch with each other on lawns(草坪)and in parks for many years. Fathers pass down favorite teams to their sons. Grandfathers share stories of games played long ago.Many US children try to collect trading cards with the pictures of their favorite players on them. In schools it is as likely for friends to trade baseball cards as it is for them to trade lunches.Baseball players are known as“the boys of spring”b ecause that is the time of year at which the sport is most often played; indeed, the new season of MLB(Major League Baseball)began on April 3. And the players come in all shapes and sizes. To play baseball you don’t have to be tall like a basketball player or strong like an American footballer. You just need to want to have fun.Besides, baseball games are not as fast-paced(快节奏的)as basketball games so they allow viewers to relax, talk and get to know each other.Today, baseball is not the US’ most-watched sport, but it is its most historical. It has gone past being simply a game and has become part of the fabric(构造)of US culture.As The Telegraph newspaper noted, “Baseball is as American as apple pie, red, white and blue(the colors of the US national fla g)and Grandma’s house. ”12. The main purpose of the text is to______.A. tell us about the development of baseball in the USB. explain what baseball means to AmericansC. inform us of the differences between baseball and basketballD. introduce the beauty and tradition of baseball in the US13. Compared with basketball, ______.A. baseball games have a faster paceB. baseball players are usually stronger and shorterC. baseball is more enjoyable than excitingD. baseball is America’s most watched sport14. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Selling baseball cards is popular among American school children.B. Favourite baseball teams are usually shared by different generations in the same family.C. Baseball is relatively new compared to other sports in the US.D. Most baseball matches in the US are played on lawns and in parks.15 . What can be concluded from the text?A. Spring is the time when baseball is most often played.B. Baseball is the most favourite sport for Americans.C. Watching baseball games is more fun than basketball.D. Women are not allowed to play baseball in America.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。

China will churn out 30 million electricity-driven bikes in xx, pared to 9 million bikes last year, according to a report from the Development Research Center under the State Council and other ministries such as the National Development and Reform mission.The central government wants to reduce the amount of energy consumption (消耗) by as much as 20 percent within the next five years.

How to save energy and improve the environmentCI could feel the judging eyes of my family burning a hole into the back of my head as I picked up my phone. All of a sudden, the chattering in the living room died and all I could hear was the sound of the turkey sizzling (发出嘶嘶声) in the oven.“Look at her! She’s been on her phone all day long! It’s all your fault! Children will never respect elders if they are not taught how to behave! ” my grandmother shouted.I was very shocked and angry! I opened my mouth to say something, but words failed me and I just sat down quietly on the chair like a mouse in its trap. I thought “Here we go again.” I truly love my family and I would do anything for them. I also know that they would do anything for me as well. However, there are moments that make me feel that they are just stuck with me. They all agree on one thing: technology is wrecking me.If I am going to be treated like a child or pletely ignored, I will most likely not enjoy your pany, and I feel that this applies to (适用于) the majority of the people. So I sometimes simply shut myself in my room and listened to the voices ing from the living room, thinking: They all grew up in a world so different that it amazes me how they have actually gotten this far. They did not have phones or any type of advanced technology, which is both good and bad. Bad because they had almost no type of fast munication, and good because they were forced to interact (互动) with one another, which is something today’s society is lacking in. However, maybe if they made an effort to be aware of how things work nowadays, they would not be so against everything.8. What happened when the author picked up her smart phone?A. Her family laughed at her.B. Her family kept silent.C. She felt like having a headache.D. She smelt something burning.9.

We can infer from the passage that the author felt it hard ________.A. to do something to please her familyB. to satisfy her family’s high expectationC. to get along with her family in some waysD. to move out or break away from her family11. The author uses the last paragraph to show that ________.A. it is her duty to provide her family with a happier life in the futureB. it is necessary to treat each other well in the familyC. it is hard for the older people to accept the advanced technologyD. it is important to strengthen understanding among the familyDThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is that history has shown us that stories not told can bee like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overe our disadvantages pletely. But with hard work, we do not have to be limited to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.12. What’s the function of the example in Paragra ph 2?A.
