ALast year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along my iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vac ation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail and Twitter, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. ―I don’t need it,‖ I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed .I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.1. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.2. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.A. keep control of when and how to use the InternetB. continue to read more and more booksC. stay away from the Internet for everD. stop checking what is being said right now completely3. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.BTrip to Alaska National ParksThis four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’ Express is the most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic （全景）windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows.Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies（水稻梯田）and locals riding elephants.Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram BinghamThe Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip —which covers about 50 miles —the train winds through the thick jungle and across two high mountains. Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu, passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.4. The underlined word ―traverses‖ in Paragraph 1 probably means _______.A. leaves forB. consists ofC. moves acrossD. arrives at5. According to this passage, the longest journey may be _______.A.

He completes about 3 to 4 jobs per day which takes him about 3 hours. It’s an incredible amount ofmoney to earn !It is great that we now live in the ―Information Age‖ and opportunities like this are available to people in China to earn extra money working from home over the Internet.

Studies have shown that students are more successful when they sleep after studying–instead of pulling all-nighters–because the brain reviews information learned. Similarly, dreaming is an opportunity to work out emotional problems and form thoughts and memories. About 25 percent of the time spent sleeping is spent in rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. This type of sleep is known for when dreams occur, but it also helps energize the brain and body.Researchers have found two important factors regarding humans and sleep: basic sleep need and sleep debt. Basicsleep need is the amount of sleep we need to have regularly to perform at our best. Sleep debt is the loss of sleep. A few studies say that most adults function best with a basic sleep need of seven to eight hours a night. The problem is that sleep debt also factors in, just because that you meet your basic sleep needs a few nights of the week doesn’t mean it cancels out the effects of one night’s sleep debt.Of course, everyone is different and some people require more or less sleep than the standard basic sleep need. But the real problem lies in what lack of sleep does over the long period to people who either does not meet his or her body’s needs or for one reason or another doesn’t get enough regular sleep. It is more possible for these people to have motor vehicle accidents, weight gain and risk for heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) and may be at increased risk for psychological conditions such as depression or drug abuse. Sleeping too long also can be associated with depression and poor health.12. Most people spent around ______ of the sleeping time in REM sleep?A. One third of the timeB. More than half of the timeC. One fourth of the timeD. More than 5 hours every day13. Which of the following is NOT the result for lack of sleep according to the passage?A. Car accidents.B. Putting on weight.C. Heart problems.D. Review learning things.14. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Why We Need SleepB. REMSleep and Basic SleepC. Sleep Causes ProblemsD. How Much Sleep We Need15. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students will forget what they have learned if they go to sleep immediately after study.B. People may have an idea on how to solve an emotional problem if they have a dream.C. It’s all right to have a night of sleep debt if you fulfill several days of basic sleep need.D. Sleeping as long as you can is considered to be good for your health and performance.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。

Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.1.

Ayear later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places.

But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men .A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68.Are women's bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's time are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The first‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious.It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射).

ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are.

There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime. Arctic Cliff FaceCliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Being camped on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet Call. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yung as RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people diehere every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else.

Google posted the new options on May 19，the same day that Amazon celebrated a mile­stone of selling more e-books than print books. Google includes a feature that Amazon hasn't managed to offer yet: readers can now translate passages of a text while they are reading an e-book in Google books.The Google e-Bookstore has books in different languages. There are even magazines to read in the Google e-Bookstore. Not all of the books can be downloaded to an e-reader, but they can all be read online. The new Google tools will work when you are reading Googlee-books in a web browser.On May 19, 2011, Google Books soft­ware engineer Derek Lei explained in an ar­ticle that " all of the tools have the same starting point. When you select a word or a passage, you can double click your mouse and a menu will appear. You will then see options to look up a definition, translate the words, and search the book. The definition works like a regular online dictionary; Google Dictionary offers a short definition with the option for more information and a pronunciation guide. The translation tool works the way Google's webpage translation works.〞Searching books has always been part of Google's focus；Sergey Brin and Larry Page started Google with the aim of searching books. The new additions of defining books while you are reading them are common with e-book readers, but being able to translate to and from different languages, including Latin, is even bigger than the original "big idea" of Google books.5．Why was May 19 an important day for Google?A. Because Google began to sell more e-books than print ones.B. Because Google translated many books into Latin on that day.C. Because it was a turning point when Amazon was defeated by Google.D. Because Google offered new tools to make online reading easier.6．The Google e-Bookstore can offer its readers the following service EXCEPT________.A. downloading any e-book as they likeB. electronic magazinesC. e-books in many languagesD. translation while reading7．When you look up a new word with Google, ________.A. you have to stop reading and turn to a new pageB. you can double click your mouse and follow the instructionsC. you must refer to its pronunciation on other websitesD. don't expect detailed information about this word8．Google was started to_______.A. translate words or passagesB. search booksC. provide a communication toolD. exchange academic informationCIs there anything more important than health? I don't think so. "Health is the greatest wealth." wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor’s. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat withpleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. "But you know, doctor," he said, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."9. The writer thinks that _____.A. work is as important as studiesB. health is more important than wealthC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money10.

It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767.Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It includes several flat walls, or panels, that directly reflect the sun's light onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plastic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers with very few supplies quickly. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic (抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly. You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.13.The solar oven has been in use for aboutA. 100 yearsB. 150 yearsC. 250 yearsD. 300 years14.The advantage of a panel cooker is thatA. It costs very little money to makeB. food can be cooked very quickly in itC. it can cook large amounts of food at a timeD. food can be kept warm in it for a longer time15. Which of the following is a disadvantage of a parabolic cooker?A. It takes a long period to cook a mealB. It’s too heavy to be carried.C. It requires certain skills to build and operate.D. It can be used only when the weather is perfect.第二节七选五〔共 5 小题，每一小题 2 分，总分为 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优选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

第I卷为选择题，第II卷为非选择题。

第 I 卷（选择题，共100分）第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出最佳选项。

APopeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. E ven some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.1. A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong2. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.3.

Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinachBOn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?”I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“I want to buy my mother a house.”“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.“Mr Washington?”“What do you want now?”“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.。
