For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A Teacher’s LessonWhen Mrs. Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.But that was impossible, because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.One day Mrs. Thompson was reviewing each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh...he is a joy to be around."His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a serious illness and life at home must be a struggle."His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in sc hool."By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag.Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone(人造钻石) necklace with some of the stones missing. But she stopped the children's laughter when she said aloud how pretty the necklace was and put it on.Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you looked just like my Mom used to." After the children left she cried. From that very day, Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one her "teacher's pets."65. When Mrs. Thompson started teaching her 5th grade class, she thought Teddy was _______.A. bright and smartB. dirty and unpleasantC. quiet and shyD. sensitive and pitiful66. What did Mrs. Thompson learn from Teddy's past records from other teachers?A. Teddy had difficulty in learning.B. Teddy was not interested in school.C. Teddy changed for a reason.D. Teddy was born in a poor family.67. The underlined word “clumsily” is closest in meaning to_______.A. gracefullyB. carefullyC. especiallyD. awkwardly68. Which of the following can best explain the lesson Mrs. Thompson learned from Teddy?A. Warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.B. A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.C. It is the art of the teacher to awaken joy in difficult situation.D. The best teachers are those who don’t stop teaching when the bell rings.(B)69. The first email is basically an email of __________.A. apologyB. sympathyC. appreciationD. complaint70. What is the “spray” used for according to the passage?A. To repair the damaged boots.B. To protect the soles from heat.C. To prevent the crew from danger.D. To protect the boots from concrete.71. According to the president of The Shoe People, John Trimbald ________.A. can exchange the damaged boots with new ones at any timeB. must return the damaged boots to any of the retail storesC. will get new pairs of boots and a free year's supply of sprayD. can return the damaged boots and spray for a full refund now(C)People are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing property that is environmentally responsible is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are being designed with a green focus in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia is one of them.If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a self sufficient community along the harbour front of British Columbia's capital city. The community will be home to 2500 people and will consist of residential, office, and retail space. Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation（通风）, and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-poisonous. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it grows fast and does not require pesticides（杀虫剂）to grow.Energy efficiency is one of the top concerns in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy efficient appliances and light fixtures（照明设备）reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Residents will have individual water metres as studies show that people use around 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing（冲洗）toilets.Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions（排放）. Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of a mini transportation system and buy into the community's car share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels (化石燃料).Dockside residents will benefit from excellent local services with high quality healthcare, shopping and education at the heart of the community, along with excellent recreation facilities and plentiful green open spaces. The Eco-Community will favour the use of locally-sourced goods and services; they will be desirable places to live, promoting a tangible（看得见的）sense of civic pride, responsibility and, as the name suggests, community.72. Which of the following is TRUE about Dockside Green according to the passage?A. It is an environmental charity aiming at reducing carbon footprint.B. It is a self sufficient community with a population of 2500 people.C. It is being built along the harbor front that is threatened by pollution.D. It emphasizes the importance of green energy and energy efficiency.73. Bamboo is a favorable choice for builders because it _________.A. provides good air circulationB. keeps pets outside the houseC. grows quickly and easilyD. does not produce any waste74. Which is NOT one of the issues Dockside Green hope to address in the future?A. Convincing local factories not to pollute the air.B. Creating an alternative to fossil fuels heating.C. Having people pay for individual household usage.D. Promoting the car share program to the residents.75. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Ways to Reduce Carbon FootprintB. Green Energy: New Trends in CanadaC. Eco-Communities: Dockside GreenD. Wise Investment in Eco-CommunitiesSection CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Do you want to start a school newspaper? If you do, then this is the article for you. Starting a school newspaper can be a great learning experience and is a respectable thing to put on a resume(简历) in the future as it shows your interviewer your leadership skills and that could very well help land you the dream job for your future. Being part of the school newspaper will give you a good idea on other people you barely know and also it will give you a chance to learn what goes on in the school.This is essential for the success of the newspaper. A teacher brings something very important to the party, and that is authority. A teacher is there primarily to help make sure that everyone gets their articles in on time. With a teacher, staff simply feel an obligation to get their articles in. This really makes your job a lot easier. A teacher not only sees to it that articles are handed in on time, with a teacher around, staff will quit over 80% less.Use your common sense for what's suitable for a middle school newspaper. Don't print anything hinting on weapons, violence, drugs, or basically anything that's illegal or not fit for middle school.Because most school newspapers have 12 articles, brainstorm 12. Some ideas are: games, colouring contest, short story, advice, random facts, sports, poetry or fashion. Once you have these articles planned out, open a word document and come up with cool titles and layout for your newspaper. You can copy a few things from the internet, but if it has a copyright, make sure to say where you got them from.Recommend to your staff that once they hand in their first article, get a head start on their next article because life consists of all things, e.g. sickness, vacation, family affairs etc. Also tell them to let you know if they can't get one article in so you can cover for them. Print off the schedule and give it to all your staff members.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics（道德标准）to its employees, it faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies.Yahoo employs nearly 14,000 people at 25 sites worldwide. They would feel bored at sitting down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do. So it hired a company called The Network to design a game. In the game, the truck where Yahoo was founded traveled the world, turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as it visited some of Yahoo’s foreign offices. Participants play in game show-like scenarios（场景）that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly. And employees note: Yahoo is tracking how well they do.Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods. They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs), involving both interactive and real-world elements. Besides teaching employees, ARGs have also been used in many areas for a number of different purposes.From a marketing perspective, a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to build product awareness. A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the 2004 video game Halo 2. At its height, I Love Bees received between two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months.ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn. They have also been used to solve real world problems. An ARG called World Without Oil was created to obtain collective input from players about dealing with the world’s dependency on oil.World without Oil simulates（模拟）the first 32 days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis. World Without Oil’s success on a s mall budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change, education reform, governmental policy and other timely, vital issues.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What challenge did yahoo face in teaching ethics to its employees?82. In the game designed for yahoo, participants had to answer questions about ________.83. What are the three major functions of ARG mentioned in the passage?84. The success of World Without Oil suggests that ARGs can ________.第II卷（共45分）I .

Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversation and the question will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our steak with this special sauce is very good.M: Thank you, but I’m a vegetarian.Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?2. M: We’ve got two new members in our group: Mary and Jennie. Do you know them?W: Sure. Mary is the most talkative woman I’ve ever met. But Jennie’s just on the contrary.Q: What do we learn from the woman’s remark about Jennie?3. M: Can you stop by the post office and get me some envelopes?W: Well, I am not going to stop by the post office, but I can buy you some at the bookstore after I see the dentist.Q: Where will the woman go first?4. M: Please make an appointment for me to see Dr. Jones tomorrow morning.W: I’m sorry, sir, but the doctor is on vacation in California until Sunday.Q: What is the doctor doing now?5. W: Now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most?M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if it is still vacant.Q: What do we learn about the man?6. W: Good morning. I’m calling to inquire about the two-bedroom house you advertised in the newspaper.M: I’m sorry. It is already sold.Q: What are they talking about?7. W: This train schedule has got me confused. I can’t figure out which one I should take!M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?8. M: I think you’d better find another partner. I don’t think I’m improving.W: Look, Paul. Nobody expects you to be a superstar. It is too early to quit.Q: What does the woman mean?9. W: Wow, I do like the c ampus, all the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings. It’s really beautiful.M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style.Q: What are the speakers talking about?10. W: I’m so sorry, sir. I’ll pay to have your suit cleaned.M: Never mind. It could happen to anyone. And I’m sure that coffee doesn’t leave lasting marks on clothing.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.At 7.10 a.m. I arrived at Waterloo station by taxi. It took me just 30 minutes from home. I bought the papers and walked to the platform. After having a cup of coffee, I got on and found my seat.I looked out of the window. Although we were moving at 340 kilometres an hour, the journey was smooth and relatively quiet. Soon we left London behind. The part where we travelled under the English Channel took just 22 minutes. Soon I was looking at the fields and farmhouses in the South of France. The sun was shining. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.I arrived on time! I picked up my suitcase and followed the Exit signs. It was great not to have to wait ages for my luggage or to worry about getting a bus or taxi to the city centre. It was 2.20 in the afternoon and I was just in time for a late lunch! My ticket cost £65.80, and I gave the journey 8/10 for comfort and 9/10 for convenience. （Now listen again）Questions:11. What is the destination of this trip?12.What did the speaker do on the train?13.What did the speaker think of the journey?Questions 14 through 16are based on the following passage.The faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least 25 years. Each couple provided four photographs——one photo of each partner at the time of the marriage and another photo of each partner twenty five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were put together and displayed in two groups: one at the time of their marriage and the other which were taken years later. Some judges were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the judges were quite successful at deciding who was married to whom.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. Another possible reason is the common experience of the couples. There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. （Now listen again）Questions:14. What were the judges asked to do according to the passage?15. What conclusion can we draw from passage?16. What is the main purpose of the passage?Section CDirections: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Good morning, I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.M: Well, could you tell me your name?W: Angela Foreset.M: Could you tell me a little about yourself?W: Yes. I’m 28. I’ve been working abroad.M: Where exactly have you been working?W: In Geneva.M: Oh, Geneva. And what were you doing there?W: Secretarial work.M: I see, and how do you see yourself developing in this job?W: Well, I’m ambitious. I do hope that my career as a secretary will lead me eventually into management.M: I see. You have foreign languages?W: French and Italian.M: Well, I think the best thing for you to do now is to write an application letter to us first and then we can arrange for an interview.W: OK. Thank you.（Now listen again）Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.M: I am so relieved I just finished the story I was working on.W: I haven't quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting pass the beginning.M: How come?W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I just couldn't write any more.M: The same thing happened to me.W: Well, Prof Wilson said it's pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.M: You went to talk to her about it?W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice. She said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that comes into my head even if it doesn't make any sense.M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for my other courses.W: Well, her methods seem have worked for me. I've written most of the story, and I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.M: You are going shopping? Can't you wait until you finish your story?W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery. So I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.（Now listen again）Complete the form.
