I 36 it when I was three, long before I knew that scars were a 37 thing, especially for a girl. I only knew my scar brought me 38 and tenderness and candy. As I got older, I began to take 39 in my scar, in part to stop people laughing at me, but mainly as a reaction to the thought that I should feel uncomfortable. It‘s true I was uncomfortable when people called me‖ Scarface‖ the first couple of times. But the more I heard how 40 my scar was, the more I found myself liking it.When I turned fifteen, my parents decided it was time to 41 on the scar.‖But I don‘t mind the scar, really,‖ I told my father as he 42 that I would have theoperation during summer vacation. And my friends, along with my boyfriend at the time, felt as I did, that my scar was 43 and almost pretty in its own way. After so many years, it was a 44 of me. But my father said it was a deformity(畸形).I don‘t know what 45 more that day: hearing my father call my scar a deformity without caring about my feeling.I did have the operation that summer, and my scar was nowhere to be found, but no one asked me about it anymore. Therefore, as I leaned uneasily toward the mirror, I felt a sudden 46 There was something powerful about my scar and the proud person I 47 because of it.I have never been quite so strong since they cut it out.36.

Most of us are eager for success and scared of failure. However, no one is always successful 48 also no one is always a failure. Then 49 to deal with failure and success in our life?On the one hand, ―failure is the mother of success‖. If we sum 50 experiences and lessons after failure, maybe success will come. Nevertheless, if we lose our hearts and give up former efforts, we will 51 succeed. In a word, the key to success is our hard struggle. On the other hand, success may cause failure, too. Generally speaking, success often adds confidence and satisfaction, 52 failure companies with misery and sadness. But supposing 53 become self-satisfied once we succeed and stop struggling, then it‘s sure that failure will come. We should take 54 right attitude towards failure and success.In a word, there is not an absolute limit between success and failure. 55 is important is our struggle and attitude.Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information.AFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled--- to $1.01 per pack---smokers have jammed telephone ―quit lines‖ across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They‘ve studied the effect of state tax increase for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light King cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston , S,C , where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price is $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys---13.8%, far below the nation average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, representatives from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans ― who choose to smoke‖.That‘s true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low—income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today‘s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.56. The passage is mainly about __________A. the price of cigarettesB. the rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increaseD. the differences in tobacco tax rate57. What does the author think is a surprise?A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.58. The unde rlined word ―deter‖ in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________.A. discardB. removeC. benefitD. free.59. Rogers‘ attitude towards the low- income smokers might be that of ________.A. toleranceB. unconcernC. doubtD. sympathy60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.B. Low—income Americans are more likely to fall ill.C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.D. Adults will depend more on their families.BFor 365 days, Christina Dean has decided to only wear second-hand clothes. In that way, she hopes to promote environmental sustainability( 可持续发展) in the fashion industry.The woman, The founder of ReDress, is wearing ―100% dumped(废弃的) and donated second-hand clothes.‖ for the whole year of 2013, with the exception of her underwear and shoes.Ms Dean said it was after she witnessed first hand some of the estimated 217 tons of textilewaste, being thrown into landfills every day, that she needed to take action.‖ I realized that the environmental gains made by the fashion industry‘s sustainablilty initiatives(积极性) become lost, when faced with this case of the waste,‖ she explained, In the UK, almost 10,000 pieces of clothes were dumped into landfill every five mi nutes.‖Each month, Ms Dean visits a recycling center, and picks out about 30 outfits. With the help of a stylist, she put together looks from the recycled clothing using specific themes: repurposed, DIY, repair or one little black dress worn for an entire month. ―The recycling center is full of bags with dumped clothes of every size, shape and style,‖ said Ms Dean, who won the 2011 EcoChic Design Award.Previous owners of her chosen clothes range from ―old Chinese grannies‖ to ―young Nigerian street vendor s‖, who often throw away designer goods. Clothes are poorly made, badly cared for, ripped, even broken.‖ she explained. ―But within this sorry wastage are incredible clothes, and some of them are well-known brands, high-quality materials, brand new or home made. ―I‘ve worn them throughout this year.‖ Some dresses were found ―perfectly clean‖ in a recycling bin, and some simply needed a wash. The shirts appear brand new, once they are ironed.With three months to go before her project ends, Ms Dean plans to sell all of her outfits to raise money for ReDress and Friends of the Earth.61.

And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront(店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn‘t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didn‘t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, ―After six months, we weredoing poorly, but we didn‘t know how badly, because we didn‘t have any financial controls.‖ All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They‘d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. ―We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public. ‗We are so successful, we are opening a second store.‘‖ And they did –in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners ‗learn-as-you-go‘ app roach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. ―It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn‘t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me ver y well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.‖ DeLuca says.And having a goal was also important. ―There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal.‖ DeLuca adds.DeLuca ended up founding Subway sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.66.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Like our body, our memory needs regular exercise to be in good condition. Like the sportsman who must train to allow the body to respond to difficult times, the memory needs its own special training in order to stay in ―shape‖ and improve.There are many factors that can cause poor memory like insomnia (失眠), depression and alcohol. However, there are simple ways which you can follow to keep your memory in shape and actua lly help you to improve your memory‘s condition and performance.Never stop learning. Look for topics that interest you and really get involved in learning new information about them. Reading and attending lectures or programs are sources of continuous education of your brain with beneficial results to your memory.Develop your social and family relationships. The more social you are, the better it is for your brain. Studies have shown that the brain and heart have a lot to gain from good family andsocial relationships.Exercise your mind with games. The more you use your brain, the more you help your memory stay in shape. There are many games that can make you an intelligent person as well as entertain you such as chess, puzzles and board games.Exercise physically can improve your memory. This type of exercise improves the circulatory (血液循环的)system. Even the simple but regular daily exercise such as fast walking can improve the heart and oxygenation(供氧)of the brain. The benefits of exercise affect positively many body systems, as well as our memory and other cognitive(认知的)capabilities.Eat more fruit and vegetables. What we eat every day affects the performance and long-term condition of our memory. Fruit and vegetables contain a lot of antioxidants(抗氧化剂)and vitamins that can help and benefit the nervous system.So our memory is like a sportsman.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Ninety-five per cent of people never succeed because they‘re following the wrong group.A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars (毛虫) looking for food. He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar, forming a circle without end or beginning. Out of habit, the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation. In fact, plenty of food was close at hand, but it was outside the range of the circle, so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path.People often behave in the same way. For example, if someone shouts, ―Fire!‖ many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it. How many stop to askthemselves: Is this really the best way out of here?Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom, achievement and success.A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong. People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun, stars and planets travelled around the earth. Both ideas are now considered ridiculous, but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers.It‘s a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go. Success only favors those who think outside the box.81. How long did the caterpillar circle the flowerpot? (within 6 words)( 2 marks)82. Why couldn‘t the caterpillar find the food ever when it was close at hand? (within 10 words)( 2 marks)83. How does the author support his ideas? (no more than 5 words) ( 3 marks)84. What is the best title for the text? (within 7 words) ( 3 marks)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.假定你是某外国语学校高三年级2班的学习委员,经常看到有同学抄袭作业,针对这种现象,你将在下周的班会上组织全班同学讨论这一现象,并以―My opinion on copying others‘ homework‖ 为主题作中心发言,请事先用英语写好一篇发言稿。

B, Skaggs. Safeway developed from just a small grocery store on the fundamentals of providing value to customers and narrow profit margins. The success story of Skaggs becomes more evident when , by the end of the year 1926,he he had opened almost 428 stores across ten states. Almost two years later, Safeway was listed at the New York Stock Exchange . At present, there are more than fifteen hundred Safeway stores across US and Canada.The Kroger CompanyFounded at Cincinnati, Ohio in 1883 by Mr. Bernard Kroger, the Kroger Company is now one of the largest supermarket chains not only in the US. but across the world .

Imagine towers of boxes, all of them filled with broken glass and discarded electronic devices. Technology graveyards like this can be found in communities across the country.Experts say that landfills and warehouses will overflow unless a plan for the disposal (清理)and reuse of electronics is put into place .‖ We can’t put electronics and glass aside and tell ourselves we’ll deal with them later , ‖Laure n Roman , managing director of Transparent Planet said. Roman’s group works to improve the disposal of electronic waste. She says about 660 million pounds of tech trash is produced each year in the U.S.What’s behind the tech trash pile-up ?About ten years ago ,major advances were made in computer and television technology . Manufacturers began producing devices like flat –paneled LCDs and plasma(等离子) screen monitors. These new products provide a clearer image and take up less space than older models. It goes without saying that consumers choose them rather than heavy. Glass-based technologies.The new electronics are built with materials that are difficult to recycle. In addition, the new products have decreased the demand for recycled parts from the older monitors and screens. Older, heavier computer monitors and TVs used glass-based components called CRTs.CRTs have a high lead content and can be environmentally hazardous if not recycled properly . If crushed and put in landfills, the lead from CUTs could seep into groundwater and rivers, harming the water supply. For many years, plants and recycling programs safely processed CRTs. The recycled CRTs were reused in the construction of new monitors.Monitors being made today do not use glass tubes . ―Peo ple are returning old –style TVs with CRTs , but no new ones are being made ,‖ said Linnell. This is creating an imbalance in the amount of glass being disposed of and recycled properly. Many recycling companies have shut down. Others no longer have the resources or space to process these materials. This results in stockpiling.However , experts say there are ways to safely and responsibly address the tech-trash problem.66.What is the main idea of the passage?A.New technology causes trouble for recyclers.B.Experts are trying to solve the tech-trash problem.C.New technology has both advantages and disadvantages.D.CRTs from old computer monitors and TVs harm the earth.67.What Lauren Roman says in Paragraph 2 shows that .A.people attach great importance to electronic wasteB.he has found a new way on how to dispose electronic wasteC.figuring out how to deal with electronic waste is urgent\D.more landfills are needed for storing electronics and glass68.We learn from Paragraph 3 that flat-paneled plasmas and LEDs .A.produce wastes which are less harmfulB.are using heavy , grass-based technologies.C.are very easy for recyclers to recycle for reuseD.are putting heavy, glass-based technologies out lf the market69.W hat does the underlined word ―hazardous‖ in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A.Risky.B.Helpless.C.Extreme.D.Unnecessary.70.What would the writer probably talk about next?A.Some other problems related to technologies.B.Some experts’ opinions on the tech-trash problem.C.Some reasons why the tech-trash problem is hard to solve.D.Some practicable ways to solve the tech-trash problem.Part Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Three stages are often highlighted for them to follow in the process of finding a career recognizing abilities, matching these to jobs available and presenting them well to possible employers.Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thoughtThe second stage is to study the opportunities which are available for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms should be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar of spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. When additional information b asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as balance their own abilities with the employer's needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities. For an interview, they should dress suitably and arrive on time. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.If the graduates have ability and are determined, they will be lucky enough to follow an ideal career.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often these experiences appear over and over again in nightmares,Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill. which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.In November. experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea. Those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous. It is known that memories give us our identity and also help us avoid the mistakes of the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. .Some people also fear that the drug would be abused although the drug should be used only in very serious cases. "People always have the ability to misuse science." said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher."

In addition, they say that nowadays there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They comeback to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.

It is just too costly. But the eastern state Maryland has found a way to make such equipment available during some parts of the school year-they put it on a bus!The 13-meter-long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science. It travels around the state visiting schools. Today, the bus has stopped at Patapsco High School in the city of Baltimore. Science teacher Leah Warble is very pleased that her students could perform an experiment-using real chemicals. "Today the students are able to do an acid-based hydration (水合作用). Normally, they would do it through simulations on the computer. And now the BioLab allows them to do it in real life, actual time and actually apply it to something that we use in real life."The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than a decade. Scientist Angel Mangus, who is in charge of the mobile laboratory, says that many students finish their experiments and leave the bus excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist. She says their goal is to help create the next generation of scientists.That made a difference to 15-year-old Seda Sinan, who is interested in biology. "It gave me more materials to work with than what I have at school. It' s more interactive." Her classmate Shenara Jefferson agrees, "We students get real-life experience that we do not get in a classroom."Back in the school classroom, Leah Warblers students continue working on the results of their experiments on the bus. "It does help me do my job. " Ms. Warble says children usually do not know what they are interested in until they get real-life experience with a subject. "Well, the excitement of feeling like a real scientist, even just a change in what they are wearing, like wearing goggles (护目镜) and blue glovesmade them feel more like scientists. They are more likely to be involved in the science careers in the future.66. Most American schools do not have the latest laboratory equipment because _____.A. it is unnecessaryB. it is too advancedC. it takes too much moneyD. it takes up too much room '67.
