AIt was a shopping trip I wouldn’t forget, because the list was items for my father, who had just been admitted to the long-term care center in our town. A year earlier, Mom and I were told that Daddy was in the middle stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Two months later, he started to rapidly deteriorate (恶化)，not just mentally, but also in his mobility. We could see he wanted to stand and walk but his brain couldn’t transmit the message to his legs.My mother, who was ill, struggled to care for Daddy in their home. Caregivers helped for part of each day. But it became increasingly clear that Daddy was reaching the point where he needed professional care. So that day we helped Daddy into the car for his trip to the care center.As a daughter, I wanted to do something to make Daddy comfortable in the care center. When I was looking for things, suddenly an idea came into my head, which drove me to the toy area. There I bought a cute stuffed black-and-white dog. What a perfect companion for Daddy to have by his side. He loved his dogs and would miss them. So I hoped this stuffed one would help.My dad’s face lit up when I gave him his new companion and he named him Artie after a good friend. It didn’t take long before Artie became the talk of the care center. Resting comfortably on Daddy’s lap, Artie went almost everywhere with Daddy in his wheelchair. One day, I was in the elevator with Daddy, Artie and one of the nurses, Lisa. The first thing Lisa said was, “Artie bit me today.” I looked at Daddy and asked him if that was true. He smiled as he helped Artie “attack” Lisa’s arm again. Daddy still loved to share his snacks with Artie. One could know it when seeing all the cookie stains on Artie’s mouth.Nine months after Daddy entered the care center, he passed away. Artie was in bed with him. Artie now sits on a shelf in my home next to many of Daddy’s things. I remember all the joy Artie brought to Daddy in the midst of Daddy’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease. It was Artie that accompanied Daddy to happily get through that period of darkness.1. The author sent her father to the care center because ___________.A. it was costly to hire caregiversB. her father’s health condition got worseC. her mother was too weak to look after her fatherD. the care center promised to treat her father for free2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. The nurse was injured by ArtieB. Artie loved to eat snacks very muchC. Dad tended to treat Artie as a real dogD. Dad was often misunderstood by others3. What’s the best title for the paragraph?A. The power of true loveB. The importance of miraclesC. The admiration for a real heroD. The bright light in the darknessBSix volunteers are about to find out what it would be like to live on Mars without ever leaving the Earth. Three men and three women will spend eight months living in a special place on the side of a volcano in Hawaii. They are part of an experiment that is designed to mimic（模仿）life on Mars. Their mission began on October 15, 2014.NASA says it could send astronauts to Mars as early as the 2030s. The mission would take more than two years, so NASA needs to know how people would react to living in a small group, isolated from the rest of the world, for such a long time. Some people may become depressed or bored living under those conditions. By studying people living in similar conditions here on Earth, NASA hopes to learn how to choose the most suitable people for a space mission, and how to help them get along.They will live in a two-story building. The ground floor is about 86 square meters, roughly the size of a small two-bedroom apartment. It includes shared areas like kitchen, dining room, bathroom, laboratory and an exercise room. The upstairs is less than half the size of the downstairs. It contains another bathroom and six small bedrooms. The building is located in an abandoned quarry（采石场）about 2,400 meters up the side of Mauna Loa, the second biggest volcano in the world. It is constantly monitored for signs of volcanic activity. NASA chose the location because the appearance looks very similar to Mars.To make it more like being on Mars in the future, they are only able to communicate by email during the experiment. Meanwhile, there will be a 20-minute delay between the time when a message is sent and that when it is received. When they go outside, they will have to suit up in full spacesuits, just as if they were on Mars.The commander is Martha Lenio, a 34-year-old Canadian. During the mission, she will run experiments on growing food. The other members have backgrounds in physics and so on. None of them are astronauts.4. When will the six volunteers end their mission about mimicking life on Mars?A. On June 15, 2015.B. On October 15, 2015.C. On October 15, 2030.D. On June 15, 2032.5. What’s the main purpose of the experiment?A. To monitor signs of volcanic activity.B. To prepare for a space mission to Mars.C. To train the six people to become astronauts.D. To study the difference between men and women.6. Mauna Loa was chosen as the experimental site because ___________.A. it is located near a rocket baseB. other people can hardly find the locationC. its landscape is so much like that of MarsD. it is a safe place to conduct the experiment7. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Martha is a famous expert on agriculture.B. The six volunteers will be sent to Mars in 2030.C. All the experimental activities are done in doors.D. It takes about 40 minutes to get a reply to an email.CChina is starting to blacklist poorly-behaved tourists as it seeks to rescue the image of its citizens as holidaymakers.According to a regulation by the China National Tourism Administration (NTA) that entered effect this week, tourists will be blacklisted for offences including acting antisocially on public transport, damaging private or public property, disrespecting local customs, damaging historical exhibits on purpose or engaging in gambling or pornographic activities. Records will be kept in a two-tired system: provincial-level tourism authorities are responsible for cases under their jurisdiction（管辖区域）while the NTA will be in charge of a nationwide register. People will be blacklisted for two years after they offend, according to the regulation.The NTA said tourism authorities will inform blacklisted tourists and “propose correction measures in order to mitigate the negative impact”. It a lso said that tourism authorities reserve the right to report such violations to public security, customs and transport authorities as well as the central bank’s individual credit department.The regulation comes amid (在……之中) growing concern about the ill manners of Chinese tourists both at home and abroad. In 2013, a Chinese tourist wrote his name on a relief carving in Luxor, Egypt. In December, a Chinese passenger threw a cup of hot instant noodles at a flight attendant on an international flight. Chinese tourists have been fined or put into prison for carrying prohibited items or purchasing wild animal products.8. The underlined word “mitigate” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A. neglectB. relieveC. deepensD. prevents9. According to the passage, the main purpose of the regulation is to ________.A. punish the Chinese poorly-behaved touristsB. suggest correct measures to the Chinese poorly-behaved touristsC. showcase the authority of the China National Tourism Administration (NTA)D. better the image of Chinese citizens as holidaymakers10. The main method the author uses to develop the last paragraph is ________.A. providing explanationsB. offering analysesC. giving examplesD. making comparisons11. The text is most likely to appear in ________.A. a newspaperB. a tourist guideC. a travel brochureD. a geography textbookDRobots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”Well, maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipme nt yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There’s a terrible thought!Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals, the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.I’m glad my machines at home are“dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!.12. The author quoted Bill Gates’ words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text____________．A. better-knownB. better-organizedC. more persuasiveD. more interesting13. An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because _______________．A. it is much cleverer than usB. it would take over the worldC. it has the strong feeling of destroying usD. it would see us just as material14. How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics?A. DisappointedB. SympathyC. OptimisticD. Regretful15. What does the text mainly focus on?A. The benefits of future robots．B. The new applications of robots．C. The concern for super intelligence．D. The popularity of robots in the future．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。

It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 11 .Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, 12 I see is hair.”Once you’ve 13 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 14 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 15 , or forget about it and 16 the tiles in your life that are not missing.We all know people who have had a relatively 17 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 18 remain happy.The first 19 is gratitude. All happy people are 20 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 21 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads people to becoming unhappy.The second secret is 22 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 23 are those pursuits(追求）that give our lives purpose—anything 24 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 25 to experience.Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 26 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier.

Largely第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，共25小题，满分50分）第一节(共20 小题；每小题2分，满分40分)AAmong various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one isdifferent in style(风格). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(质量) of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.31. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _____.A. more interesting.B. unusually popular.C. more detailed.D. more formal.32. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows____.A. remain interested in them.B. are ready to face up to them.C. remain cold to them.D. are willing to get away from them.33. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A. A new type of robot.B. Nation hatred(憎恨).C. Family income planning.D. Street accident.34. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.A. have become the only ones of its kind.B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature.C. appear at different times of the day.D. attract different people.BIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driverto drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?35.We can know from the passage that in Finland________________. .A.both hotel guests and outside diners are served food free of chargeB.big hotels provide meals for all kinds of dinersC.guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotelD.big hotels are mostly poorly managed36.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Generally speaking, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working long hours.B.The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C.The workers are always honest with their working hours.D.The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.37.The underlined word “those” in the 5th paragraph probably refers to people _____.A.who often take taxisB.who often have meals in big hotelsC.who are dishonestD.who are on guard against others38.It can be concluded that _____.A.Finnish people are really foolish in daily lifeB.Finland has been a good place for cheatsC.the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD.all the Finns are rich and therefore honestCHow would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake? Dolphins sleep this way. Recently , scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers foundducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open ,apparently looking for predators.“The more the ducks felt threatened ,the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg ,a graduate student at Indiana State University ,Terre Haute .”the unique aspect is not that they do it ,but that they control it . When they sleep at the edge of a group ,they tend to realize greater danger ,so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators ,said the authors of the study ,which appears today in the journal Nature.The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes ,which were arranged in a row .Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.Also ,ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.39. It was discovered that_______________ .A.most people would like to be half asleepB.ducks can sleep half awakeC.dolphins sleep on their wayD.ducks have different sleeping habits from each other40. A predator is most likely to be___________ .A.an animal that hunts ,kills and eats other animalsB.a human being who looks after and feeds ducksC.a scientist who does research work on animalsD.an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks41. Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because__________ .A.they are looking for foodB.they want to enjoy the sceneryC.they are watching out for dangerD.they are unique in their sleeping habit42.How many ducks were used in the experiment?A. FourB. EightC. TwelveD. Sixteen43.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open.B.Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.C.Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.D.A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experimentDOne summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook. I was so interested in the story I was reading that I did not notice that it was getting dark. When I realized it was too dark for me to read easily, I put the bookdown and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone crying, “Help! Help!” It seemed to come from the trees at the other end of the yard. I looked out but it was now too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounded like a child, but I could not imagine what anybody could be doing in our backyard, unless one of the neighborhood children had climbed a tree and had not been able to get down.I decided that I should go out and have a look in the yard, just in case someone was in trouble. I turned on the light and found for myself a flashlight and a stick in the room. I thought they might be useful. Armed with these, I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. “Who's there?” I called out as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no answer. With the help of my flashlight, I searched all over that end of the yard, including the branches of the tree. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my imagination was playing tricks on me, probably because of the story I was reading about strange creatures on another planet.Feeling rather foolish about hunting around in my own backyard with a baseball bat, I went back into the house and put the bat and the flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was frightened by the cry of “Help! Help!” from right behind me. I dropped my book and jumped up. There, sitting on the table was a large green and red bird. It was my neighbor's parrot（鹦鹉）！While I was out in the yard, the parrot must have seen the light in the living room and come in through the open window.44.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The author heard a cry for help as soon as he put the book down and got upB.Hardly had the author got up and turned on the light when he heard a cry for helpC.The author looked out because it was too dark to see anything insideD.A child, whose voice sounded like a parrot, was crying for help on the top of a tree45.The book the author was reading was ________________________ .A.an ordinary book about scienceB.a science book on soundC.a science story-book about strange creatures on a certain heavenly bodyD.a book on how to play tricks on others46.Finally the author found ______________________ .A.that he was a very foolish personB.that he had got used to the cry for helpC.a large green and red bird flying into his living room from his neighbor's houseD.the secretEIn the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms KochRecords and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3", on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s interesting, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing, the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high, the terrible dancing, the hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.But, it was this very bad act that sold well.Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”Whatever it is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.So, what does Hung think of this?“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.47.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.B.Hung's performance attracted the public eye.C.How an unsuccessful person became famous.D.Success sometimes does not require hard work.48.Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________A.his shirt and pantsB.his off-key singingC.his jerking hipsD.his excellent version49.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?A.William Hung.B.Hung's bad performance.C.Hung’s website.D.The public’s opinion.50.Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?A.His success was based on luck rather than his own hard work.B.He attracted people’s attention and won wide praise in the contest.C.He was good-looking in his pants and shirt though he didn’t sing well.D.In the contest he did what every one of us is happy to do in daily life.第二节段意信息匹配(共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分)A．Argue with your boss everything you wantB．Make the issues clearC．Watch your timingD．Don’t go in when you are angryE．Propose your solutionF．Put yourself in the boss’s position51.___________his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast，it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss’s secretary，there are keys to timing：don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline；don’t go in right before lunch，when he is apt to be distracted and rushed；don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.52.___________If you are mad，that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first.And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then，maybe he will dismiss you.53.___________Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understands it.54.__________Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can’t put forward an immediate solution，at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.55.__________To deal effectively with a boss，it’s important to consider his goals and pressure.If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss，then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.第II卷第一部分：阅读填空（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）Autumn blues? Falling leaves, withering flowers, cold winds,faint sunshine.For many people, late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression.Spirits can be low.People who suffer from ”the autumn blues” often are extremely exhausted, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increases appetite and gain weight.“The exact cause of the condition,often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder(SAD), is not known yet,”says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai mental health center.”But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight.:One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock thatregulates mood, sleep and hormones(荷尔蒙)is delayed, running more slowly in winter.Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be changed in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct the imbalances.“It’s a sad season, but you can try to make it happy.Remember, spring always lies in your heart,”Chen says.Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.--Go outdoors and get some sunlight. Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸)system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus, exercise is calming and relieves one’s mood.--Relax at work.Stretch and breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.--Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.--Look at bright colors,such as red and orange.Color therapy improve mood.--Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it,or just lie on the cozy couch,reading a novel.--Decorate your room and work space with flowers.--Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.第二部分：写作（共两节，共50分）5．短文改错(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同坐的以下作文。

I will 24 you with all I have if you can.”Instead of sending her away or 25 with her, he said to her, “Fetch me a mustard(芥末) seed from a home that has never 26 sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once in 27 of that magical mustard seed.She came first to a splendid apartment, 28 at the door, and said in an 29 voice, “I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a(n) 30 that I want? It is very important to me.”31 , she didn’t get what she wanted, even without a single word of 32 . They told her that she had come to the wrong place. And they began to 33 all the tragic things that recently had happened to them.The woman said to herself, “Who is better able to help these poor, 34people than I, though I also have had misfortune of my own?” She 35 to comfort them till they 36 . Then she went on searching for a home that had never known sorrow. But 37 she turned up, in small cottages or in other places, she found one 38 after another of sadness and misfortune. She became so 39 in helping other people out of their sorrow that finally she forgot about her request for the special mustard seed, in fact, never 40 that it had driven the sorrow out of her life.21．A．joy B．danger C．belief D．sorrow 22．A．envied B．considered C．respected D．treated 23．A．strange B．magical C．valuable D．important 24．A．reward B．supply C．provide D．award 25．A．quarreling B．discussing C．reasoning D．arguing 26．A．suffered B．known C．obtained D．forgotten 27．A．honor B．favor C．need D．search 28．A．knocked B．broke C．stood D．pointed 29．A．excited B．confident C．sad D．urgent30．A．place B．answer C．apartment D．person 31．A．Luckily B．Immediately C．Gradually D．Unfortunately 32．A．praise B．Respect C．comfort D．encouragement 33．A．exchange B．describe C．simplify D．decorate 34．A．unfortunate B．unfriendly C．unimportant D．unfamiliar 35．A．planned B．managed C．continued D．stayed 36．A．settle down B．break down C．calm down D．get down 37．A．wherever B．whatever C．however D．whenever 38．A．excuse B．tale C．lie D．reason 39．A．curious B．puzzled C．worried D．involved 40．A．recognizing B．realizing C．remembering D．wondering第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，共50分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项ABali is an Indonesia island that is rich in indigenous （本土的）culture．A lot of people say that Balinese culture is unique and that the people of Bali have always been contented with the "now"．If you ask a Balinese person what heaven is like, the probable answer will be "just like Bali"．This only goes to show that most Balinese people are happy to be where they are and never worry．One factor that contributes to this laidback lifestyle is the culture of close family ties in Bali．In the Balinese culture, support is always available．Balinese extended families are so tightly knit that all members usually reside in the same complex．Balinese culture is based on a form of this religion, which is called "Hindu Darma"．This religion reached the island during the eleventh century．Most of the family customs andtraditions as well as community lifestyles of the Balinese people are influenced by this．The religious influence even expands widely into the arts, which makes Bali distinct from the rest of Indonesia．In spite of the fact that tourists flood to the island every year, Balinese people have managed to conserve their culture．Almost every native of Bali is an artist in some form or another．Parents and villagers have passed on their skills to their children, who all seem to have inclinations （爱好）either to music, dance, painting, and decor．Another remarkable mark of the Balinese culture is the series of ceremonies and rituals known as the Manusa Yadnya．This marks the different stages of Balinese life．Cremation （火葬）is very popular on this island—and unlike in the West, death is a joyous and colorful event for the Balinese．41．What do we know about Balinese according to the first two paragraphs?A．They lead a very relaxing but unwealthy life．B．They live in large families and are close to each other．C．Their family members are distributed in different places．D．Their extended families live too close together to get along well．42．Bali is distinguished from the rest of Indonesia by _____．A．people's tight family relationshipB．the family customs and traditionsC．people's great affection for religionD．the influence of Hinduism on their culture43．The underlined word "conserve" in Para．4 can be best replaced by "_____"．A．preserve B．spread C．form D．expand 44．When a person dies in Bali, it is a common practice to _____．A．express deep sorrow at his deathB．celebrate the death like a great eventC．sing and dance joyfully in his honorD．remember what he did in his lifetime45．What is the text mainly about?A．Balinese religion．B．The lifestyle of Balinese．C．Balinese culture．D．The tourism in Bali．BWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault. "or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.46. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their byesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others47. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider48. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help49. When problems occur, winners take them as .A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? .A. A Winner's Achievement.B. A Winner's Problem.C. A Winner's Opportunity.D. A Winner's Secret.CFamous centenarians （百岁老人）still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire．"Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases．He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession．Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project．"You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said．When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature．It gave to me what it took from others．"Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character．Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens．Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer （103）, Nobel laureate Montalcini （101）and director Kurt Maetzig （100）, Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation．Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer．The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor．"The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently．He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder （胆囊）operation he composed a samba tune （桑巴舞曲）in the clinic．Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters．The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works．Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old．" He also plans to keep performing．"Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally（积分）of awards and is looking for a "good stage role"．Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection．" In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor．She's convinced that humans grow on challenges．With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers．51．From the first two paragraphs, we can see ________．A．being active at 102 is achievable for everybodyB．Oliveira owes his long life to his mother’s helpC．being fit in old age is a matter of luck and characterD．social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior52．How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?A．4B．5C．6D．753．By saying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” in Paragraph 5, Heesters shows us he ________．A．wants to sit or lie in comfort B．is waiting for people to pick him upC．is willing to work till he dies D．prefers to give performance at home 54．In the passage so many examples were given to show ________．A．old age is a big problem if you want to succeedB．as a senior citizen, you have to be open-minded and optimisticC．old people should never think of themselves as oldD．old age can not prevent a great person from achieving a lot55．In the writer’s opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not ________．A．sympathy B．pessimistic C．positive D．diligentDJoe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting．Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music．Joe and Delia met in a studio．Before long they were good friends and got married．They had only a small flat to live in , but they were happy．They loved each other, and they were both interested in art．Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money．Delia decided to give music lessons．One afternoon she said to her husband:“Joe, I’ve found a pupil, a general’s daughter．She is a sweet girl．I’m to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson．”But Joe was not glad．“But how about me?” he said．” Do you think I’m going to watch you work while I play with my art? No, I want to earn some money too．”“Joe, you are silly,” said Delia．“You must keep at your studies．We can live quite happily on $15 a week．”“Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,” said Joe．Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening．A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired．“Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves．I’m afraid she doesn’t practice enough．But the general is the best old man! I wish you could know him, Joe．”And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket．“I’ve sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria,” he said, “and he has ordered another．”“I’m so glad,” said Delia．“Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before．We’ll have a good supper tonight．”Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table．In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage．“What’s the matter with your hand?” said Joe．Delia laughed and said:“Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand．She was very sorry for it．And so was the old general．But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?”“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?”“Five o’clock, I think．The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?”“Delia, come and sit here,” said Joe．He drew her to the couch and sat beside her．“What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth．”She began to cry．“I couldn’t get any pupils,” she said, “So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts．This afternoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn．But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasn’t giving music lessons?”“It’s very simple,” said Joe．“I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron．You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work．”“And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?”“Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria．”And then they both laughed．56．To support the family, Delia worked as ________．A．a tutor B．a music teacher C．an artist D．a laundry assistant 57．It happened that ________．A．a man from Peoria liked Joe’s pictures B．Delia earned $15 dollars a week easily C．the couple worked at the same laundry D．Clemantina and the general were kind 58．Who hurt Delia’s hand?A．The general B．Clemantina C．Herself D．A girl59．We can infer from the underlined sentence that ________．A．Clemantina was an invention of the generalB．Clemantina was an invention of the man from PeoriaC．there were no such men as the general, Clemantina and the man from PeoriaD．the general, Clemantina and the man from Peoria were the couple’s clients60．Which do you think is the best title of the story?A．A service of love B．A story of Joe and DeliaC．Lies and truth D．Servants of love第二节：阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题标题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. “J.C” he replied. She taught he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part-time so as to pay for his education. As a second –year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event . He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.“It was all right with me, ”he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said, “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard. ”56. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when ________.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J. C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet57.

When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means thatmedals_____A. have been changed for money to help him live onB. have made him famous in the USC. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs60. Which of the following is a suitable title for the test?A. Jesse Owens, a Great American AthleteB. Golden Moment, a Life-time StruggleC. Making a Living as a SportsmanD. How to Be a Successful AthleteBA “dark horse” is one that shows unexpected racing speed and comes in first, even though the experts said he had little chance of winning.In politics, an unknown candidate (候选人)for office who wins a nomination (提名) or election is called a “dark horse”.British Prime Minister Benjamin Disrael is believed to have been the first to use the phrase. In his novel, “The Young Duke” published in1831. Disrael described a horse race and told how the two top choices fell behind, while “a dark horse” which had never been thought of rushing past the grandstand in a sweeping triumph.From racing to politics was a short step. As a political phrase, “dark horse ” appeared for the first time in the national Democratic Party congress of 1844. The “dark horse ” was James Knox Polk who became the 11th President of the United States.Polk had been the leader of the House of Representatives from 1835 to 1839. He had also been Governor of the state of Tennessee. But as a national leader he was considered a political nobody.Nevertheless, he surprisingly won the Democratic nomination and was elected President.Martin Van Buren of New York, a former President, seemed sure of getting the nomination. But he opposed making the territory (领土) of Texas part of the United States as another state. He was against it because there was slavery in Texas. Van Buren did not want another slave state in the Union. As a result, he lost support among those Democrats who supported slavery.At the 1884 congress, Van Buren could not get enough votes to win the nomination. The congress got into trouble. Therefore, the Democratic leaders decided that the only wise thing would be to run a “dark horse”, a man who could unite the party.And so, one of the party leaders, George Bancroft, proposed the name of James Knox Polk. He won, and the party united behind him, And he defeated his opponent, Henry Clay ofthe Wing Party.After the 1844 congress, the “dark horse ”candidates became an established fact of national political life.One historian said, “The invention of the dark horse was in itself a remarkable product of our professional politics.” This made it possible for party leaders to choose candidates who were not tied to certain ideas. Therefore, they represented nothing and had developed few enemies.61. The term “dark horse ” is often used to refer to _______.A. a horse that can be in the lead all the timeB. a horse that can attracts attention for its dark colorC. a person that people think the first to succeedD. a person who achieves some goal unexpectedly62. The author introduced the novel “The Young Duke” with the intention that_____.A. he would come to tell us about a “dark horse” in politics.B. he would point out how the nobleman appreciated horse racingC. he would tell us how the dark horse rushed past the two top horsesD. he would describe the fierce competition in the party63. The failure of Martin Van Buren in the nomination lay in the fact that_______.A. he opposed the territory of Texas becoming a part of the United StatesB. he had already been president of the United States for yearsC. he couldn’t get support from the Democrats who would keep slaveryD. he had made few achievements during his presidency64. According to the author, Polk’s being nominated and elected President is consideredentirely_______ .A. a good choiceB. a lucky chanceC. a difficult processD. an expected resultCThe atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E.O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, called the depletion(枯竭) of rain forest areas “the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs”.Unlike some environmental issues, rain forest depletion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazon’s rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-new Geinea, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forests are cut down every year.The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says every minute, 25 to 50 acres are cut or burned to the ground.The world’s growing population has been a primary reason of rain forest destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would limit the destruction of the rain forests.65．In the opinion of the author, _______ are being destroyed terribly at present.A. the rain forestsB. the oceansC. the atmosphereD. all the above66.

To stay healthy , we must eat more fruits and vegetables and sweet potatoes are a great source of beta carotene(胡萝卜素)and other carotenoids. According to a study of the diets of almost 90,000 nurses, eating about one cup a day of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids (which the body turns into vitamin A) can cut you risk of stoke in half and reduce your risk of heart disease by 22 percent. Other research suggests beta carotene protects against breast, lung and stomach cancers.Beta carotene is the most famous member of the carotenoids family. In fact, a medium-sized sweet potato contains nearly 12mg of beta carotene(anti-aging experts usually suggest 6 to 11 mg per day). Sweet potatoes are also a low-fat source of vitamin E. Research has linked high E diets with a lower risk of heart disease. This vitamin pill in an orange jacket also packs a vitamin C punch--- it has more C than apricots (a kind of fruit).
