As waves of paralysis(瘫痪) came over me, I slowly lost32 of my body. I was just 50 and I thought about how 33 it was.After two operations, I was transferred to the Recovery Center. Though I had lost the use of my 34 arm and leg and couldn’t see out of my left eye, the only thought on my mind was to return to my job. But the 35 was that I needed to relearn how to 36 and see first. I had always been kind of 37 , and this just made me feel like recovery was impossible.A few days after my first38 physical therapy session, my mother came into my room with a neatly-typed 39written by a nine-year-o ld boy named Jackson. He told me about the stoke he’d had only a year earlier. He, too, had been paralyzed on his left side. But, 40 telling me what he had lost, Jackson shared what I would 41 . “Do not give up on yourself. All the hard work is worth it.” he wrote.And the advice kept on coming. He told me to 42 the therapy on the hospital’s “grown-up” floor, where “they make you work hard and you get lots of things back fast.” Here I was, a grown man and a senator of Illinois, getting43 from a young boy I had 44 met.After a few weeks of correspondence(通信), I arranged for us to meet. He seemed 45 at first, but all the awkwardness quickly46 . Jackson showed me how he could run, and I immediately felt47 . One thing I particularly48 was the energy and dignity radiating from him.As for my recovery, it 49 just as Jackson said it would. After a year of intense physical therapy, I climbed to the top of the Capitol and returned to work. With every step I took, I thought of Jackson and his 50 . Whenever I was tired or discouraged, I thought of him, the world’s strongest boy.31. A. decision B. examination C. description D. discussion32. A. hope B. sight C. memory D. control33.

But what many who enjoy outdoor hobbies don’t know is that their “right to walk” was won by men who sacrificed their own freedom to gain access to the countryside for all.In 1932 wealthy landowners had exclusive use of large areas of moorlands for grouse shooting.Walkers were kept out by guards, until a group of 400 people from Manchester and Yorkshire, led by Benny Rothman, engaged on a mass trespass. The campaigner was jailed with four other men.The event is credited by many with starting a movement that paved the way for the establishment of national parks. Mr Rothman died in 2002 but he is now being honoured for his contribution with the unveiling of a blue plaque on his former home in Crofton Avenue, Timperley, Greater Manchester.Retired professor, Harry, who followed in his father's footsteps by specialising in environmental issues, says: "He was a very optimistic man and he made the best of it when he went to prison. It didn't put him off campaigning, he went on campaigning on environmental issues most of his life." Mr Rothman did live to see the Countryside Rights of Way Act passed by Parliament in 2000, ensuring the freedom of the countryside for future generations.Roly Smith, a friend of Mr Rothman and an author of walking guidebooks, said: "It is down to them that we have got what we have today."Councillor Jonathan Coupe, of Trafford Council, said: "The honour of having a blue plaque attributed to you means you have really made an impression on society.""Mr Rothman contributed to the changing of history and it is because of him that we are able to enjoy the local countryside as often and freely as we can today."51. What do we know about people in Britain according to Para. 1?A. They value freedom.B. They have wide interests.C. They are fond of hiking.D. They tend to live in the countryside.52. A blue plaque was revealed on Mr. Rothman’s former home .A. to support his campaignB. to honor his contributionC. to remind people of the pastD. to celebrate the establishment of national parks.53. Besides “optimistic”, which of the following best describes Mr. Rothman?A. CautiousB. DeterminedC. ConsiderateD. Ambitious54. From the last three paragraphs we learn that Mr. Rothman .A. has served as a councilorB. has made achievements in differentC. has been highly thought of for his contributionsD. has devoted his life to environment protectionBI no longer run for the mail the way I used to. I remember, prior to the e-mail age, the sense of heightened anticipation as the hour of mail delivery approached, wondering what slender, handwritten treasures would appear in my box. I once received a letter from a long-lost friend and swelled with such joy that I ran the mail carrier down and shook his hand, as if he had done a heroic deed in conveying the missive to me.I first learned to love the mail as a young boy. The first thing I ever received that was personally addressed to me was from my buddy Duane. We had been the fastest of 9-year-old friends. Then he moved away, to Massachusetts. The parting was difficult, but boys didn’t cry.Within the week, however, there was a letter in my mailbox. It was from Duane, and it read, “I’m OK, but I miss you.” That first conveyance to me of a written word from a great distance had all the import of the first Morse code message: “What hath God wrought.” It was at that moment that I became a letter writer, quickly discovering that the more letters I wrote, the more I received.I wrote letters through elementary school, high school, college, and beyond. It got to the point where I could comfortably expect to receive a letter a day. The daily mail delivery was, for me, like a beacon at sea – something toward which my thoughts began to move upon waking. What quickened my blood, of course, was the element of surprise: From whom would the letter be today? And what would the news be?And then, seemingly in the blink of an eye, the earth shifted. E-mail had arrived. Despite being intrigued by the new technology, I promised myself that I would never stop writing letters by hand. However, I had no control over the proclivities of others, and slowly, inexorably, and then with quickened pace, the letters disappeared from my mailbox, having been repla ced with electronic “messages” ,a totally different beast —in contrast to letters, all e-mails look alike.55. The author used to run for the mail mainly because .A. he took great interest in mail deliveryB. he was looking forward to receiving lettersC. he tried to keep mail delivery from approachingD. he wanted to thank the mailman for his heroic deed56. What made the author become a letter writer?A. A letter from a long –lost friend.B. The desire to receive more letters.C. The joy of reading the first letter from Duane.D. The influence of the first Morse code message.57. By writing the underlined sentence in Para. 4, the author tells us that the daily mail delivery .A. meant a lot to himB. wasted much of his timeC. quickened hi thoughtsD. divided his attention58. What’s the author’s opinion about e-mails?A. They completely changed the worldB. They brought about new technologyC. They affected human relationshipD. They lost the unique features of lettersCThe Internet has revolutionized our lives to such an extent that for most people, the global network has become more than just a tool but rather an indispensable aid in everyday life. More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer: it's on our mobile phones, in our cars and TV sets, in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the waves of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping. Both big and small, e-commerce websites have literally flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands. Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store you can also buy online: from food and clothes to guns and ammo, no matter what you're looking for, you're bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse.This revolution has sent cold shivers down the spines of brick and mortar business owners. And what was their reaction? They've opened online stores to go hand in hand with their conventional businesses. Nowadays, every "Mom and Pop's" cheesecake store also has a website. In a recent survey, 68% of small business owners have stated that they are scared of being put out of business by the raging torrent that e-commerce has become. So it's no wonder many of them have decided to join the revolution and establish some kind of an online presence even though most of them have stated that they have an aversion towards the Internet.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid? Are we going to start seeing ghostly, deserted Walmarts across the country? Probably not in the near future but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore. A trip to Walmart wastes time, burns gas and sometimes adds a few extra dots on the stress counter.The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with enhanced web capabilities has even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home. And as "Time is money", this practice is lifesaving for people who work two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-commerce will follow closely in its footsteps. Everything will become easier and less time consuming, leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life: the ones we love, our friends and hobbies.59. What is Para. 1 mainly about?A. The popularity of mobile phones.B. The great impact of the Internet.C. The importance of the Internet.D. The function of the global network.60. In response to the threat of online business, the brick-and-mortar store owners .A. have stopped their traditional businessB. have stated their dislike of the InternetC. have established their own websiteD. have opened their online stores61. According to Para 5, the greatest benefit of online shopping is .A. to save timeB. to follow the fashionC. to release pressureD. to protect environment62. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Shopping.B. The Internet Revolution.C. What is the Reaction to Online Shopping?D. Is Online Shopping the Future of E-commerce?DIt doesn’t look like the heart of a green revolution. The huge chimneys stick up above the line of pine trees and don’t make for the most scenic view as you wander around the clear blue waters of the nearby lake.But it is this power plant that has helped the small Swedish city of Vaxjo become arguably the greenest place in Europe. On closer observation, the only think emerging from the chimneys(炉子). That’s because it is not oil fuelling the plant, but woodchip and other wood waste from the area’s sawmills. And as well as generating electricity, it also supplies 90 per cent of this southern Swedish town with heating and hot water.The gases produced as the wood burns are changed into liquid form, and are purified before they reach the chimney. And instead of wasting this liquid, the power plant pumps it around town. Some runs ou t of the town’s public taps; the rest is directed through pipes that run through individual heaters, warming homes and offices.The pile of wood chipping in the yard towers above head height and takes almost five minutes to walk around. That’s enough to ke ep Vaxjo warm on the snowiest day in winter, or supply it with hot water for a fortnight in summer, and it’s good way of using the paper industry’s waste. As well as the centuries old Swedish policy of planting a new tree for every one felled, the ashes swept out of the furnace each day find their way back to the forest as fertilizer(肥料).It was this green plant that netted Vaxjo the European Union’s award for sustainable(可持续的)development, making it the greenest city on the continent.However, it is not jus t the citizen’s consciences and moral histories to which the town’s current day authorities are appealing. They know how to talk to their wallets too. Oil-generated electricity costs about 16,000 kronor ayear(￡1,170) per person, while the new power plant’s electricity comes in at two thirds of the price.They’ve been planning for over ten years to become a “Fossil Fuel Free City”. But according to Anders Franzen, the head of planning and development department at the city council:”The battle in the energy sector has been won, yes, but the next battleground is transport.”63. What’s the main reason for “inside it smells more like a sauna than a furnace”?A. It is surrounded by pine treesB. It produces lots of hot waterC. It is fuelled by woodchip and wood wasteD. It sends out the smoke from the chimneys.64. It can be concluded from the passage that the power plant .A. promotes tree plantingB. makes full use of wasteC. relies heavily on paper industryD. mainly supplies hot water and heating65. What impresses the town’s current day authorities most?A. The citizen’s consciences.B. The town’s moral histories.C. The lower cost of electricityD. The award for sustainable development66.What Anders Franzen said in the last paragraph indicates that .A. they will continue their effort in green planB. they have great difficulty in transportC. they have no room for further developmentD. they are perfectly content with the achievementEThe dodo is among the most famous extinct creatures, and a poster child for human-caused extinction1 events. Despite its notoriety, and the fact that the species was alive during recorded human history, little is actually known about how this animal lived, looked, and behaved. A new study of the only known complete skeleton(骨架) from a single bird takes advantage of modern 3-D laser scanning technology to open a new window into the life of this famous extinct bird.The study was presented at the 74th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Estrel, Berlin. Leon Claessens, Associate Professor at the College of the Holy Cross, and lead researcher on the study said that, "the 3-D laser surface scans we made of the fragile Thirioux dodo skeletons enable us to reconstruct how the dodo walked, moved and lived to a level of detail that has never been possible before. There are so many outstanding questions about the dodo bird that we can answer with this new knowledge."A complete dodo skeleton, found by an amateur collector and barber, Etienne Thirioux, on the island of Mauritius between 1899 and 1917, has remained unstudied, even though it is the only complete dodo skeleton froma single individual bird known to exist. All other skeletons are incomplete composites, meaning that they are compiled from more than one individual. In addition, Thirioux constructed a second, partially composite skeleton, which contains many bones that also belong to a single bird. "Being able to examine the skeleton of a single, individual dodo, which is not made up from as many individual birds as there are bones, as is the case in all those other composite skeletons, truly allows us to appreciate the way the dodo looked and see how tall or rotund it really was," said Juilan Hume, of the Natural History Museum UK, a co-author on the study.The scans were performed on site in Port Louis, Mauritius and Durban, South Africa, and allow examination of the biology of this enigmatic extinct bird in detail for the first time. Using the newest digital tools and techniques, the scans provide an insight into how the flightless dodo may have evolved its giant size, and how it walked and lived in its forest home. According to Kenneth Rijsdijk, of an Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam and a study author, "the skull5 of the dodo is so large and its beak6 so robust, that it is easy to understand that the earliest naturalists8 thought it was related to vultures and other birds of prey（猛禽）, rather than the pigeon family."67. The underlined phrase “a poster child” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to “”.A. a typicalB. an endangered animalC. a child who puts up posters on the boardD. a child posted in a newspaper as an advertisement68. The researchers study the dodo skeleton to find out .A. ways to save the dodoB. the dodo’s living habitsC. the bird’s natural habitatD. the cause of the dodo’s extinction69. What is special about the dodo skeleton found by an amateur collector?A. It is gathered from more than one individual.B. It reminded unstudied between 1899 and 1917.C. It is the only complete dodo skeleton from a single individual bird.D. It can be examined with 3-D laser scanning technology.70.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people’s attention to wildlife protection.B. To criticize humans for the extinction events.C. To introduce a new way of studying the dodo.D. To give tips on how to study extinct creatures.第四部分：书页表达。

Since high school, I’ve sought to understand the heart, the mind, and the soul of the gifted per son. I’ve spent nearly five decades trying to help others recog nize, understand and support giftedness in their children, stud ents, customers, loved ones and themselves.What’s giftedness all about? Certainly, people who rise to star dom(明星地位)in childhood or adult life are often gifted, but most gifted pe ople don’t seek or achieve fame. Many gifted children are hidi ng—trying to remain unnoticed by pretending to be just like everyb ody else. Many gifted adults are in the helping professions be cause they feel the need to ease the suffering of others. But there’re certain qualities of the gifted people that transcend(超越) age, nationality, socio-economic status, occupations, interests or talent domains(领域).Gifted people not only think differently, but feel differently. Gift edness is a different way of being, and these differences may affect them throughout all the life. There’s so much confusion about the meaning of this term that the most gifted people rej ect the concept of being gifted. Here’s the most important tip I can give you. If you’re a gifted person, the greatest gift you c an give to your parents, children, students, loved ones and yo urself is the appreciation of your own giftedness. Appreciation begins with recognition.Your first job is to understand yourself, and you'll be a good ro le model for others who need your help. Consciousness of the meaning of giftedness is oxygen to the soul. You need to put on your own oxygen mask before you help others put on their s. Each person’s awareness helps the world become more co nscious. Little by little, giftedness will come out of the closet al l over the globe, and we’ll be able to put to rest forever the sh ame that has for too long accompanied the experience of bein g gifted. We’re skilled at working with the entire range of giftedness.61. Which one is NOT the author seeking for since high schoo l?A. Helping the gifted find their special qualities．B. Understanding the heart, the mind, and the soul of t he gifted person.C. Helping others recognize, understand and support g iftedness in people.D. Seeking popularity among the people who rise to st ardom in childhood or adult life.62. Why do some gifted children hide their giftedness?A. Because they are not really gifted.B. Because they don’t want to be known to others.C. Because they want to be famous just like everybody else.D. Because they don’t have consciousness of the meaning of giftedness.63. You can give your greatest gift to the following ones exce pt ___________.A. your neighborB. the ones you loveC. the persons you teachD. your dire ct and close relatives64. Which of the following is the first step to the gifted people’s success?A. Others’ awareness.B. Their recognitio n of others.C. Their understanding of themselves.D. Their appreciation of themselves.65. What’s the general idea of the passage?A. The meaning of giftedness.B. Helping the gift ed people.C. The lifestyles of gifted people.D. The entire ran ge of giftedness.CAlaska’s Arctic lakes now freeze later and melt earlier in th e year than in 1950，making them lose water easily through evaporation(蒸发)and possibly adding to local warming，a new study finds. The winter ice season near Barrow，Alaska，is much shorter in this year than that in 1950, researchers rep orted in the journal The Cryosphere.Lake ice is also thinner each winter. The scientists surveyed a lot of lakes on the North Slope, the tundra-covered (冻土覆盖的) region where permafrost (timelessly frozen ground) and s hallow lakes dominate the area. In 2011，the lake ice was 38 percent thinner than in 1950, and 22 perc ent fewer lakes froze through to their bottoms．“When we saw the actual numbers we were shocked at how d ramatic the change has been,” lead study author Cristina Sur du, of the University of Waterloo in , said in a statement. Surd u and her co-authors analyzed the changes in lake-ice thickness and ice cover with satellite images and climate model simulations (模拟) (satellite images are only available from 1991).The climate models suggest the Arctic lakes froze almost six days later and broke up about 18 days earlier in the winter of 2011 compared with the winter of 1950. “The changes in ice a nd the shortened winter affect Northern communities that dep end on ice roads to transport goods,” Surdu said. For exampl e, every winter, oil companies build roads over frozen lakes to carry supplies to Prudhoe Bay.“The dramatic changes in lake ice may also contribute to furth er warming of the entire region, because open water on lakes contributes to warmer air temperatures, even if to a lesser extent than open seawater, ” Surdu said. The Arctic is warming t wice as fast as the rest of the planet，for reasons that may include its layered atmosphere, which ke eps heat, and the loss of sea ice and snow cover, which helps reflect the sun’s energy.66. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A. Alaska’s Arctic 1akes now freeze earlier and melt 1ater．B. Alaska’s local warming is reducing sharply．C. The winter ice season of ’s Arctic lakes shortens.D. ’s Arctic lakes hold more flesh water than before．67. What can we learn from the passage?A. Climate changes were much more obvious in 2011．B. Permafrost melts gradually in these years．C. Lake ice was thicker in 2011 than that in 1950．D. A great number of lakes spread across North Slope ．68. According to the passage，the great changes of Alaska’s Arctic lakes _____________．A. are totally beyond Surdu’s expectationsB. are completely within Surdu’s expectationsC. come as no surprise to Surdu and her co-authorsD. come as great excitement to Surdu69. The winter ice seasons of Arctic lakes in 2011 was ______ _?A. 6 days shorter than that in 1950.B. 12 days shorter than that in 1950．C. 18 days shorter than that in 1950.D. 24 days shorter than that in 1950．70. The reasons why the Arctic becomes much warmer are d ue to _______?① its layered atmosphere ② the loss of snow cover③ sea water evaporation ④ the loss of sea i ceA. ①③④B. ①②④C. ②③④D. ①②③Part Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbere d blanks by using theinformation from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer .The pressing issue of global warming has made it necessary f or us to look at other renewable sources of energy. Wind ener gy is a renewable source of energy and doesn’t produce toxic by-products(有毒的副产品), as is the case with fossil fuels. However, it still has bad si de.The biggest issue concerning wind energy is its unreliability. T here can be periods when adequate electricity is produced on account of strong wind, and there can also be periods of lull(间歇), where no electricity can be produced for days, because of the absence of wind.As discussed before, due to the lull nature of wind energy, it n eeds to be stored, or used as a substitute for the conventional sources of energy. However, storing it is quite expensive, an d countries have to rely on fossil-fuel factories to meet their energy needs.The claim that this energy will lead to creation of more jobs is n’t accepted by most people. They point out to the fact that a wind power factory needs lots of workers only during its construction, and once it is built, it needs only a few maintenance w orkers(维修工).There have been reports in the past about the danger that win dmills(风车) pose to birds. Due to the height of the windmills, birds are often on a collision course with them, and a large number of d eaths have occurred due to this reason.Installation(安装) of windmills has faced violent opposition from people livin g in nearby areas, where the wind power factories have been suggested. One of the main reasons for their opposition is tha t, windmills do cause some level of noise pollution.Wind energy certainly is one of the bright hopes for our future. Although wind energy has certain limitations, there is no reas on why we should give up on this renewable and clean source of energy, and stop the efforts from making it to its full potenti al.Title Wind energyIntroducti on Wind is a kind of energy which is 71___________ _____ and clean72______ _It is not 73__________.Sometimes wind is 74__________when humans need it.It is expensive to store it.Human have to spend 75________in storing wind energy.Thus many countries still depend on fossil-fuel factories.It can’t offer 76__________When a wind plant is being 77___________ many workers are neededAfter that, only a few workers are needed in fact.It is 78_______ to birds.Windmills kill a great number of birdsbecause of collision.It will cause noise pollution.Many people don’t agree windmills should be set up near their neighborhood because they are 79_________.Conclusi on Although wind energy has many disadvantages, human still should make efforts to 80___________ ___of it in the future.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questi ons according to theinformation given in the passage.People in the have a special camp to go to this summer. Tho se who are tired of the social media and want to unplug(不插电) for a couple of days can consider going to a fast-growing summer camp three hours outside of San Francisco. Checking into the camp involves handing over your personal electronics to volunteers in white lab coats.now in its second year, offers attendees a break from the noise of social media. The rules of this camp are clear: No sh op talk, no alcohol, and most importantly, no phones, comput ers, tablets or watches.Co-founder Levi Felix has stressed it is not just an experience for tech workers, although current and former Silicon Valley(硅谷) employees make up the biggest part of the attendees. Thi s year, campers ranged from college graduates to retirees. In recent years, the “unplugging movement” came into vog ue(流行). In other words, it really received more and more popularity------although it has been criticized by the press for causing “postm odern techno-anxiety” and failing to recognize the positive impacts of techn ology. Each March, thousands of people unplug from their de vices for 24 hours, as part of an event organized by the nonpr ofit organization Reboot.Tech-free getaway options like Camp Grounded are growing in the . With no iPhones or computers to distract them, campers at participate in all kinds of interesting activities featuring yoga, l aughing contests and writing courses. But for many of the part icipants, the most exciting activity is conversation. Campers a dopt nicknames and are forbidden to talk about work or disclo sing their age.Felix says that the aim of the camp is not to break away fro m the modern society “We still live in the modern society. It’s not about not using technology. It’s about being in control of u sing it and it’s all about what you do when the devices are gon e.”81.
