She follows a special raw die t and only drinks rainwater.She looks so young that people mistake her to be the daughte r, when she’s out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isn’t complaining.Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special d iet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts gr own in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. Th e woman doesn’t touch anything that has been cooked. And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater, to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the reside nts of Miami-Dade County, Florida, didn’t always have such a healthy lifest yle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband us ed to own a meat factory way back inthe 1960s. It was then that she decided tochange her eating habits forever. And what a great decision t hat was. I mean, just look at her!When she started off, Mrs. Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated ()that she would look lik e a 40-year-old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years that she has been eati ng raw, Mrs. Larkins has written two booklets railed Journey t o Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets.Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her exampl e, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers fr om diabetes（糖尿病）and high blood pressure.

Larkins wanted to become young by following his wife’s diet.D.Mrs, Larkins owned a meat factory in the 1960sD“When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and t hink about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fi ght against their mothers. The images have created heated d ebate among Chinese netizens（网民）.Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are alway s scolded by their parents”, the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to de al with their mothers’ anger such as crying, pretending to be a shamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Ea ch skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. T he creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yan gtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls’ mothers, her daughter once rece ived a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daug hter’s feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girl’s fathe r, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Mon day, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.“The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu disc overed that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school studen ts hate being urged to do thingsby their mothers.“Not giving children enough time and hurryin g them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ig nored by parents. A mother’s blame may lead to negative feeli ngs within her child’s heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things.B. The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show of f his daughter’s cleverness.C. Parents are advised to speak highly of their children freque ntly.D. How to blame children needs parents’ further study of carto ons34.What do we know about the cartoon book according to the passage?A. It is finished by children aged 6 to 12.B. It tells us how to control mothers’ feelings.C. It is intended for primary school teachers.D. It includes a number of vivid pictures and humorous notes.35. Where would you probably find this passage?A. An advertisement.B. A textbook.C. A newspaper.D. A novel.第二节：（共5小题; 每小题2分，共10分）七选五，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Luckily, there are books for that.The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian AndersenAny reader of fairy tales knows Andersen's responsible for the snowy scenes in The Snow Queen,the story of children Kay and Gerda,who must face the goddess-like woman who controls all snowflakes after Kay is kidnapped.Family Life by Akhil SharmaIt's a beautiful yet tragic novel about an Indian family immigrating to America,only to face entirely new hardships.Sharma's novel isn't entirely set in the wintertime, but his poetic descriptions of winter weather as lovely yet isolating make it a great choice for a December read.Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyGo ahead and give up the movie adaptation that has been produced recently and read or re-read the classic itself.You know the story:a scientist driven by his ambition discovers a method for creating life, and spends two years cobbling together a living creature, who later feels angry with him.An American Childhood by Annie Dillard试卷第2页，总10页Dillard's first book is,as its title suggests,about her change from being a self-centered child to being an adult more concerned with the world around her than with her own personal concerns.Her parents are key figures in the story.One famous scene takes place during what the author calls “a big snow”,in 1950.1．Who wrote a novel about The Snow Queen? A ．Annie Dillard. B ．Mary Shelley.C ．Akhil SharmaD ．Hans Christian Andersen.2．Which novel is about an Indian's family? A ．The Snow Queen. B ．Family Life. C ．An American Childhood.D ．Frankenstein. 3．What do we know about Frankenstein? A ．It has been adapted for movies. B ．It's about the secret history. C ．It's about an Indian family.D ．It's a fairy tale. 4．From An American Childhood, we know the main characters are ________. A ．self-centered children B ．adultsC ．scientistsD ．Dillard's parentsIt's never been easier to find vacant(空缺的）jobs or to apply for themnowadays.“With technology,it's much easier,”says Dennis Masel,chief operating officer of a US staffing agency.Mr. Masel says PDF files,mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works.“I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a client's(客户) office,”he s ays.“Now I can send an application to a client within seconds via the Internet.”Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process.Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click.And it is not only computers but also mobile phones.However, some employers do not trace the applications they receive.It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less unlikely to get new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.First,he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work.“By making a personal connection,you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”Second, he says,you must react quickly w hen you see a job you want.“For every position that you are interested in,you have to imagine that thousands of job-seekers are all coming afterthe same position.You have to be quick.Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”Third,use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and it's really easy for me to basically in,”he says.“Put keywords in,such as the location you wa nt to search and your experience,and get exactly what you want.”5．According to Para.1, people now change the way they work NOT because of .
