At the end of our 46 in Australia, we had three weeks of traveling time to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was 47 that our last day together was filled with tears.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ACharles Willson Peale’s George Washington at Princeton is on show at the Museum which was lent from a private collection . This visually 〔视觉上〕 striking and finely made life-size portrait records Washington’s 6-foot-2-inch figure in a pose highlighting strength , calmness , and elegance .It is put up in a room neighboring to the Powel House parlor , a period room from one of Philadelphia’s greatest eighteenth-century private homes , where Washington was frequently entertained by his friends , Samuel and Elizabeth Powel . Both spaces contain important examples of furniture by Philadel phia’s finest craftsmen〔工匠〕 , such as Thomas Afflect and John Aitken . Among these is a side chair specially ordered by the Washington when living in Philadelphia .Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peale’s painting was immediately sent to Europe to raise Washington’s reputation as a lea der and the cause of the American Revolution , then in progress . Later ,during Europe’s Napoleonic Wars , a Spanish with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture . At that time he added the complicated carved explanation to it , which describes Washington as “a liberator of his country who gave up absolute power.〞Curators〔博物馆馆长〕American Art Department Staff , website commentary by Carol SoltisLocationGalleries 286 and 287 , second floor56．This passage is mainly about .A．the cause of the American RevolutionB．the information of a portrait on showC．the description of the life of George WashingtonD．the friendship between Washington and his friends57．What is the name of the portrait?A．Room for Revolution B．Charles Wilson PealeC．George Washington at PrincetonD．George Washington and His Philadelphia Friends58．What happened in the Powel House parlor?A．Washington entertained his friends.

Prince William announced on Monday that he is to train to be a full-time pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force (SARF). William, who is currently a Lieutenant〔中尉〕in the Army's Household Cavalry Regiment 〔皇家骑兵团〕, will transfer to the RAF and begin an 18-month training course in January .If successful, he will become a fully operational Search and Rescue pilot in , flying Sea King helicopters at one of the six SARF units based in Britain."The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying,"the prince, who spent two weeks with a SARF team while on work experience in , said in a statement."Joining Search and Rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the Forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country's Emergency Services."It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war.The Search and Rescue teams' main duty is to recover RAF personnel but in peacetime they mainly respond to civilian emergencies, dealing with more than 1,000 calls a year.The units deal with incidents ranging from helping those trapped by sudden major floods to rescuing people lost while out walking on hills.William, who has spent the last year on secondment〔借调〕to the various branches of the military to prepare for his future role as head of the armed forces, received his RAF wings 〔飞行勋章〕following a four-month stint〔持续的工作〕with the service earlier this year.However, his time with the RAF was clouded when the Defense Ministry was forced to fend off criticism for allowing the prince to fly military helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to the family home of his girlfriend Kate Middleton.61. Prince William wanted to be a full-time pilot because _____.A. he liked flyingB. he would like to do something in the country’s Emergency ServicesC. many Britons were in danger at sea waiting for rescueD. he had much experience in flying62. According to the passage, _____.A. the Falklands war broke out inB. Prince William served in the Army’s Household Cavalry Regiment in 1982D. William would finish his training course in June63. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. the RAF is an army that rescues its soldiers during wartimeB. either Andrew or William is interested in flyingC. there are many floods happening in BritainD. the prince saving the people in danger is no longer fairy tale64. The author’s opinion on William’s joining RAF is ______.A. enthusiasticB. doubtfulC. negativeD. pessimistic65. What is the purpose of the author by mentioning what the prince had done before in the last paragraph?A. The author wants to say that Prince William pays much attention to his family and friendsB. The author suggests that the Defense Ministry was criticized when William flew for his private businessC. William had a hard time when he went against his leadersD. The author has the worry that Prince William is likely to get the Defense Ministryinto trouble again.CSome years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them，often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times，there were inquiries(调查)into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries，however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which examines new planes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work , and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products. 66．The main topic of the passage is ________________.A．conditions in the work place. B．the freedom of industries in the past. C．changes in industrial production. D．the safety and health of workers and customers.67. We can infer(推断)from the passage that in the past _____________.A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions.B. Companies were free to put out any products they wanted to.C. many people were killed by dangerous products.D. industries were as careful in management as they are today.68. It is said indirectly in the passage that _______________.A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products.B. governments paid little attention to the safety of products.C. government officials often did not listen to scientistsD. in the past no safety 1aws were introduced by governments.69. Some years ago safety rules _______________.A. were put forward due to scientists’adviceB. came into being as a result of the workers’demandsC. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injured.D. were effective enough to protect workers and customers.70. The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by _____.A. testing new products. B．controlling the sale of products.C. developing new products. D．examining work placesPART FOUR WRITING 〔45 marks〕SECTION A 〔10 marks〕Directions： Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what-I –can do environmentalism.〞On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Home Owners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use cl otheslines.So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be move.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, , the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warming and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don’t take matters in their own hands,〞 says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers, h ousing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, “The clothesline is beautiful. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.〞Title: 71.___________ in clothesline dryingSECTIONB(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.You might think that “global warming〞 means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation〔撤离〕of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century ,sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result .Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has pollu ted the country’s drinking water.Paani Laupepa , a Tuvaluan government official ,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years .Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions〔导致温室效应的气体排放〕,which are a main cause of global warming . “By refusing to sign the agreement ,the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,〞 Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries .Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable 〔易受影响的〕to rising sea levels .Maumoon Gayoon ,president of the Maldives ,told the United Nations that globalwarming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation〞.81.

How amazing! Simple as this picture is, it does show us that thinking from different angles is of great importance.Take frustrations in our studies for example. Faced with a set-back, many of us will be unable to recover from it, filled with fear or complaint. Some even choose to escape. But if we can think from another angle, not only can frustrations be precious experiences from which we can learn a lot of lessons, but also they can be a driving force that will help us create great success. As the old saying goes, “Misfortune may prove to be a blessing in disguise.”Thus, think from different angles and another quite different world may appear in front of you.录音原文Conversation 1W: Is it supposed to be this loud up here?M: Yeah!

That must feel great to be almost finished with school.W: You can say that again, but once I graduate, I have to start repaying a student loan, so I'm not looking forward to that.M: But didn't your parents help you out with your college tuition?W: No. My dad said he wasn't made of money, so he thought I should earn my own education, so I worked like crazy in the summer and part-time during the school year to cover most of my costs. And, I received some financial aid and a scholarship one year, which really saved me. But this past year, school has been more demanding, so I haven't been able to work as much.M: Well, you know, at least you see the light at the end of the tunnel.W: That's true.Mini-talk:Now many students open their own micro blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talents. For another, it is a useful way to release their pressure. All these make it popular among high school students.But many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing on e’s micro blog will take a lot of time and energy, which should be used to study.In my view, I am greatly in favor of this activity. Today the Internet is playing an important role in our life. Therefore, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to communicate. What’s more, organizing micro blogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. As a result, we can improve ourselves while organizing our micro blogs.Therefore, micro blog itself is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.。

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

You can't be a positive person all of the time．How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, "Jerry, you have two choices today．You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．' I choose to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining．I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．The bottom line It's your choice how you live life．" I reflected on what Jerry said．Later．I left the restaurant industry to start my own business．We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life．Several years later．I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers．While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous．The robbers panicked and shot him．Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital．After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care．Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片）of the bullets still in his body．I saw Jerry about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was．he replied．"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied．"Then, as I lay on the floor．I remembered that I had two choices I could choose to live．or I could choose to die．I chose to live．" " Weren ' t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked．Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．""What did you do?" I asked．"Well, there was a big．strong nurse shouting questions at me．" said Jerry．"She asked if I was allergic （过敏的）to anything．"Yes．' I replied．The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them．"I am choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead．'"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude．I learned

is getting new attention in the United State s—bullying．Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland．She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying．Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her．Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers．Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching（紧握，紧咬）her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．She didn't want to go to school．"Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person．It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verba l—for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．61．From the case of Tina, we can know that _____．A．bullying is rare B．victims suffered a lotC．schools are to blame D．personalities are related 62．Which of the

Committed SuicideB．15-year-old Irish Girl Committed SuicideC．Cyberbullyin g—Taking Off in SchoolsD．How to Find Bullying among TeensC"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory．" says the Educational and Training Support Agency．This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development．"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency．"Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes．" says the Government-founded agency．"It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills．Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes．" This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills．In the United States, some companies have contracts （合同）which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date．Contrary to this traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system．At the same time．businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase．"This．of course," says business theory．"will also improve the productivity （生产率）of the workers and therefore the profits of the company．"66．The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _____．A．they are not loyal to companiesB．other rewards replace gold watchesC．the way prove to be a failureD．serving a company for life is rare now67．The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _____．A．hopping from job to job has become a new trendB．employees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeC．workers have to take more responsibility for themselvesD．it is easy to complete themselves by doing so68．The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers shouldA．show more loyalty to their companiesB．try to develop their skills to fit in with changesC．go to college to have their skills up to dateD．be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility69．The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means _____．A．people who have received higher educationB．people who study hard themselvesC．people who learn things very quicklyD．people who continue their study beyond regular education70．Companies require their employee's development mainly because _____．A．it will finally help to bring more profits to the companyB．it can attract more workers who pay special attention to self-developmentC．it is good for the employees to develop their skillsD．it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the companyPart 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．Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours you sleep．However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would make it much easier to learn to improve your focus．Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus．Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone．Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve．Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing．This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture．Actors do this a lot to block out laughter, noise, or other distractions．An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert．Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen．This can actually be a lot of fun．and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only．If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy．Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon．and finally, another list for the evening．Study your lists carefully and see where you can move thingsaround．For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, don't bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive．Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive．Planning helps you focus．It will also not stress you out．Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks．If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping for a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV．Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks．Use this time wisely．Don't spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office．Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done．Your breaks should be as quiet as possible．Read a book．take a walk．or visit a daycare．Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest．The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds．Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day．A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in．Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis．Improving your focus also means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well．Focus is important but difficult to improve1．71 to improve your focusI ．Staring at picture．◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsⅡ．73 ．◆Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74Ⅲ．75 ．◆Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done．as well as arranging time for relaxationIV．Taking breaks．◆Wisely using time to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; just resting your brain2．78 for easily losing focus◆Having too much on minds◆79 all dayConclusion Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain．Section B （10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit．Write your answers on your answer sheet．When I was 10 years old, my friend Sydney was diagnosed with a brain tumor．Sydney fought against it, but the tumor did not respond to treatment, and could not be surgically removed．The mass wrapped around her brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the vital functions of life such as breathing and blood pressure．Sydney died at the age of 11．After her death, I felt immense sadness and frustration about pediatric cancer．I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions．When I was 11 years old．I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild（PPD）with two friends．The guild is named after Sydney s favorite color and pattern, which represents both the memory of my friend and the guild's positive approach．Mygoal has been to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children．Over the years, PPD has held fundraisers from lemonade stands to art expositions to golf tournaments．I have played a leading role in planning and organizing each PPD event．The very first Pink Polka Dots event, a garage sale．raised $ 9．000, and our most recent fundraiser, the fifth annual golf tournament, brought in over $ 73．000．The guild progressed faster than I ever anticipated．In five years, we have become 40 members strong, and raised almost half of a million dollars．I've been shocked by the public recognition that the guild has earned．PPD received an award from a U．S．Senator, spoke at a TED Conference, was featured in Teen Vogue, and appeared on The Note Berkus Show．Each of these honors has raised awareness and money for our cause．The initiative that I have taken has truly impacted the world of cancer research．PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as "Tumor Paint", which illuminates cancerous cells so that surgeons can remove them with unprecedented accuracy．The discovery appeared in Time Magazine．, and will be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration starting in early 2012．1 am extremely proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology．Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist．My experience has taught me that with passion and dedication, it is possible to make a difference to the world．The determination that Pink Polka Dots sparked in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a driven academic, a competitive debater and a dedicated volunteer．81．Why did the author feel sad and frustrated? （No more than 8 words）82．What was the author s purpose of founding PPD? （No more than 15 words）83．What achievement has PPD made in helping cancer research? （No more than 13 words）84．What did the author learn trom his own experience of founding PPD?
