ALife in space will certainly take some getting used to! But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as fortable as possible—the modules(舱) are roomy，bright，and kept at a constant 21°C. It’s important the crew members are fortable because they’ll be busy aboard the station. In a typical workday，crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising, 1.5 hours preparing and eating meals，and 8.5 hours sleeping. Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station：Foode mealtime, astronauts will have a special dining kitchen. Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth. In early space missions, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didn’t require any preparation. But the space station is equipped with water, microwave ovens, and refrigerators, allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food, including fruit, vegetables, and ice cream!SleepEach crew member has a private room. With no gravity, they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds, or they will float away！That might sound like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great! ExerciseYou might not think it, but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth. There is not much gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or wa lk in space, so their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth. To fight this, astronauts on the station will exerciseon bikes, rowing machines, and other equipment about two hours every day.ClothingAstronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the U.S. shuttle or Russian rockets. But once they’re safe inside the space station, crew members can wear regular clothing. Of course, a specially designed pressurized space suit is required for space walks. It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes. It can range from -84 °C in the shadow of the station to 121°C in the hot sun.Personal CleanlinessSimple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment.A little water doesn’t flow in a stream. Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers, shampoo，and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water. And how do you go to the bathroom in space? With a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.21. The text is mainly about ___________A.ways to get used to life in spaceB.fun facts about life in spaceC.temperature changes in spaceD. a typical workday in space22. What do we know about space food from the text?A.Astronauts could eat apples in space in the pastB.Astronauts eat only fruit, vegetables and ice cream now.C.Space food is getting better now than before.D.Fresh food isn’t available to astronauts in space.23. Why is exercise more important in space than on Earth?A. Because it can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.B. Because it can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.C. Because a stronauts’ lives are more import ant in space than on Earth.D. Because it can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss.24. What can be learned from the paragraph “Clothing”?A. The temperature is quite different in different places in space.B. Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.C. Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.D. Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.BIt's 3 o'clock and you've been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn't. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works pare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more plex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a xx study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. Theyfound that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.25. The author describes two situations in the first paragraph to _______.A. remind readers of their own special food.B. deepen the understanding of hunger.C. report the discovery of craving study.D. introduce the topic of the whole passage.26. What do we learn about food craving?A. It shows food is linked to feelings.B. It ensures a person survives hunger.C. It means the stomach functions well.D. It proves the brain decides your appetite.27. What's the likely result of dieting?A. The decrease of chemicals.B. The increase of food desire.C. The refusal of fat and sugar.D. The disappearance of appetite.28. In which column of a newspaper can you see this passage?A. EducationB. EntertainmentC. ScienceD. EconomyCNASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly. But it will be more famous for making your next holiday e more quickly.The space agency is working on a new plane, which could solve the problems of supersonic(超音速的) flight and vastly increase the speed of journeys abroad. If successful, the plane would be able to fly between New York and London in just three hours. And it would reduce the time spent flying other journeys by a half, since it could be used morebroadly. Until now, the problem with such planes has been the sonic boom(声爆), made famous by the original Concorde（协和客机）. That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds.It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground— disturbing animals and even causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath. It was that effect that led Congress to ban such planes from being used over the US land, a decision that in turn was responsible for Concorde's failing to be mercially used.In view of the problem, the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out in wind tunnels, and now believes that it could be put to mercial use. That plane will fly as high as 55,000 feet—far higher than normal planes—and make a sound of only 60 decibels. That's far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes, and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant.“As long as we can get endorsement from the general public, the plane will probably be something that's acceptable,” said Peter Coen, project manager for NASA's mercial supersonic research team, in a new Bloomberg report. “If we get approved, we will have the full-sized version of the plane tried o ut and the plane will be put into use.”29. Why does the author mention Concorde?A. To suggest the rapid development of planes in the USA.B. To make us know the negative effect of the sonic booms better.C. To introduce how a mercial plane is designed.D. To show us that Concorde finally failed to be mercially used.30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the new plane.B. The working principle of the new plane.C. The problems of the new plane.D. The potential market of the new plane.31. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 5 mean?A. responseB. mitmentC. investmentD. agreement32. Why does the author write the passage?A. Because he wants to inform people of NASA's new plane.B. Because he wants to prove the disadvantages of supersonic flight.C. Because he wants to explain why speed matters in supersonic flight.D. Because he wants to clarify some misunderstandings about mercial planes.DOf all natural disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, huge walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use of fire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, they still do great damage.According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96. 385 fires and 9.873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive than the10-year average. These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year, with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to a usually high amount of activity. Wildfire has also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people. Almost one quarter are purposely set, while lighting causes 10%.Forest fires can have advantageous effects. Charcoal(木炭) enriches soil and some plant species grow well after fire. The cones of the jack pine tree, for example, will not spread their seeds unless there is heat. Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire.33. Forest fires are considered to be the most frightening because____A. fire-retardant chemicals can't be made use ofB. huge walls of flames can burn acres of landC. they make the greatest loss of all disastersD. they spread too fast and do great damage34. Almost 25% forest fires are set_____.A. unexpectedlyB. bylightingC. on purposeD. naturally35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The advantages of forest fires.B. The usage of charcoals.C. Pine trees needfires. D. Fires destroy all plants but two.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

There is one extra word you do not need.Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first 41 on land, we 42 think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but, in fact, no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They 43 the first land animals with the 44 and food necessary, since they ---the plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store 45 .The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae （藻类）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to 46 . Once the move to land has been made, however, evolution took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their 47 , and some have got tree-like forms since height was very important in 48 sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was 49 with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves,wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.Choosing a husband or wife is one of the most important decisions in a person‟s life because a good marriage can mean the difference between a happy and an unhappy life. In many cultures, young men and women choose their own marriage 50 . In some cultures, on the other hand, parents arrange their children‟s marriages. 51 arranged marriages have both advantages and disadvantages. One advantage to having parents arrange a marriage is 52 security. Of course, money doesn‟t53 bring happiness, but a lack of money certainly causes 54 in any relationship. A second advantage of an arranged marriage is that parents may make a better 55 than their children. They are not only 56 but also wiser. Also, parents have been married, therefore, they know better what qualities are desirable in a spouse. 57 , parents may be better judges of character than young people, who often let 58 influence their judgment. In59 , arranged marriages may be happy because parents choose with their heads, not with their60 .On the other hand, arranged marriages may have some disadvantages. One 61 disadvantage is that parents may make a poor choice and the young couple may never be 62 together. A second obvious disadvantage is that a young man or woman may already have fallen in love with someone else. If the parents force him or her to marry their choice, the result will be 63 unhappy people.In conclusion, neither an arranged marriage nor a marriage for 64 is necessarily going to be happy. Both kinds of marriages take work, patience and perhaps a little bit of luck.50. A. couple B. parents C. partners D. date51. A. So B. Such C. Some D. Other52. A. financial B. happiness C. time D. future53. A. quickly B. necessarily C. highly D. slowly54. A. danger B. stress C. burden D. joy55. A. living B. collection C. choice D. family56.

A. money B. others C. help D. loveSection BDirections: Read the following four 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 given in the passage you have just read.AThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher---- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn‟t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death ofhis mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present, too. It was his mother‟s perfume（香水）.Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy‟s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, …Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D‟ （医学博士）.The story doesn‟t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson‟s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn‟t know how to teach unt il I met you”.（）65. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.B. She asked the children to play with Teddy.C. She changed Teddy‟s seat to the front row.D. She told the class something untrue about herself.（）66. What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?A. He often told lies.B. He was good at mathematics.C. He needed motherly care.D. He enjoyed playing with others.（）67. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?A. She taught fewer school subjects.B. She became stricter with her students.C. She no longer liked her job as a teacher.D. She cared more about educating students.（）68. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?A. She had kept in touch with him.B. She had given him encouragement.C. She had sent him Christmas presents.D. She had taught him how to judge people.BIn different countries around the world, people become “adults” at different ages. Being an adult means having the right to do certain things such as vote, get married, or get a license to drive. It also means accepting the responsibilities that accompany these rights.In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. In many parts of North America, sixteen is also the age when one can obtain a driver‟s license; in England, it is seventeen.There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules and regulations such as getting and paying for insurance to drive.V oting is another right that marks the passage into adulthood for many young people. In the United States, Canada and the U.K, young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen .With this right also comes responsibility. For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society , and they must also learn how politics works.A group of teenagers in Canada want the Canadian voting laws changed. They think the people should be able to vote at the age of sixteen. They argue that if teenagers at sixteen are old enough to get part-time jobs, pay taxes, and drive, they are also old enough to vote in elections.An organization in the U.S believes that the government should allow its citizens the greatest amount of freedom possible ----- as long as this doesn‟t jeopardize the public‟s safety. This organization believes that all laws based on ages should be eliminated, and that people should be able to get a part-time job, a driver‟s license, get married and vote at any age.Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights---and the responsibilities that accompany them --- to people when they are too young. The question is: How young is too young?（）69.The passage is mainly about ___________.A. when young people can get married.B. the age when people have certain adult rights.C. how old someone must be in order to voteD. what responsibility an adult must bear（）70.What an adult has the right to do among the following is to _______.A. get a part-time job.B. get a passportC. give the vote only for the president of the country.D. observe the law（）71.The underlined word jeopardize in the last paragraph but one means __________.A. maintainB. provideC. guaranteeD. harm（）72.The reason why a person who is too young to enjoy the adult rights is possibly that______..A. people are of the same about how old is old enough.B. people agree upon how young is too young.C. he cannot bear the responsibilities that accompany the rights he hasD. he can perform the adult rights as well as adults.CAttractions in WisconsinWisconsin Historical Museum30 N.

But early horses weren‟t tame（驯服的）enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the firstinteractions humans had with horses were far different from those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication.As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep strong animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals‟ genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.Modern-day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn‟t exist in the horse population before domestication. The Stetland horse is one of the smallest breeds---typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts （矿井）with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. people bred these heavy tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heave loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horses were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new form of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.（）76.

The passage is mainly about __________.A. why human domesticated horses.B. how humans and horses needed each other.C. why horses came in different shapes and sizes.A. how human societies and horses influenced each other.Section 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.80.Each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel. It‟s a great way to find out what life is like in another part of the world! But constantly having to deal with new situations can be frustrating, even stressful. Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of “culture shock”. You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel overwhelmed sometimes. If you give yourself some time, things will gradually get easier.81.While it is certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings, try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. You may be quick to judge the food, the manners and communication styles and as a result, you may want to do things the way you are used to. If you have this kind of attitude, you will probably avoid some of the very experiences that you came for. Don‟t think of the host culture as better or worse, just differen t----you‟ll be more willing to try new thing.82.This is obvious, but everybody needs to be reminded. Just watching life go on around you isn‟t good enough----you really need to try things for yourself. Don‟t worry about making a mistake; people in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you have questions. If you are unsure of what to do in a formal setting, follow others‟ lead.83.Don‟t forget about the organizations and people that are there to help you. Colleges and universities generally have offices that concentrate on the needs of international students and theirfamilies. Talk to members of your host family or your host family or friends that you‟ve made there. All of these people will be happy to help. But you must be willing to discuss your concerns with them. You won‟t offend anyone, so be honest!84.Talking to someone familiar to you always makes you feel better, and they can encourage you when you‟re feeling homesick. A good idea is to make plans to cal l every week on the same day and time. That way, you‟ll never be disappointed that nobody is home to answer your call, and you‟ll have something to look forward to each week. If you are going to be able to use email while you are abroad, you‟ll be able to keep in touch with lots of friends and family very inexpensively!第II卷I.

It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is __31__.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we __32__ certain characteristics and exhibit certain behavior. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two __33__ are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between supporters of each theory. The argument is often conveniently __34__ to as “nature and nurture”.Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by __35__and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory __36__ that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Supporters of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost __37__ shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic（机械论的）. They state that, like __38__, humans respond to environmental stimuli (刺激) as the basis of their behavior.Neither of these theories can yet __39__ explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two __40__ and that the debate will continue for a long time is certain.III.

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 given in the passage you have read.(A)Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.56. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.57. According to the author, the woman was probably ________.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past58. In the author’s op inion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photoD. The soft sunlight that summer day.59. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflection on _________A. the pleasure of travellingB. the art of photographyC. a particular life experienceD. a lost friendship(B)Welcome to the pumpkin weigh-off at Half Moon Bay (半月湾), California. The event has always been very popular among most pumpkin growers. Thousands of people line up along the city’s High Street and watch the proud pumpkin owners from across the country. Each pumpkin is carefully picked up by forklifts (叉式升降机) and placed on a digital weighing scale.Organizers are offering $30,000 in total prize money for a new record pumpkin entering Half Moon Bay. But in order to receive the “New Record Prize”, the grower will have to bring a pumpkin heavier than the 2,624-pound one grown by Mathias Willemijns in 2017. If the heaviest pumpkin in the contest is unable to surpass (超过) the record, its owner will receive $6 for every pound it weighs.When: Monday, October 9, 2018. Weighing will begin at 7 am and will end at 11 am. Growers will start lining the street as daylight breaks by 7 am.Where: I.D.E.S.

What is the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce a popular festival.B．To inform the prize for a competition.C．To explain how to grow huge pumpkins.D．To attract more people to grow pumpkins.(C)Happy, angry, amazed—these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we're sending a message on our smartphones. That's a quick way of telling someone how we're feeling. Yes, emojis have become a vital tool for communication.The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word "emoji" comes from the Japanese words for "picture" and "character". The number of different images has dramatically increased since then and now we have a picture for every mood or situation.So now we are giving this new creation the visual "thumbs-up" but have you thought why we've become so addicted to using emojis? Professor Vyv Evans has written a book called The Emoji Code, saying "increasingly, what we're finding is that digital communication is taking over certain aspects of face-to-face interaction...one of the reasons why emojis are so popular is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves more effectively."Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language—they don't use words but some pictures so they can be easily interpreted whatever your native language is. However, the emojis can sometimes be misinterpreted—if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer, you may think he/she is angry when really he/she is saying he/she is clumsy!Emojis are a good way for showing similar feelings. But as linguist(语言学家) Neil Cohn says, "To many, emojis are an exciting evolution of the way we communicate, but to others, they are a linguistic Armageddon（大决战）."It does show there is a lot more to our communication than words alone but does this mean the decline in traditional writing?63.How do emojis help people in communication?A. They can interpret the foreign languages.B. They will take the place of face-to-face interaction.C. People can express their emotions effectively with emoijs.D. People can express themselves clearly with emojis at any time.64. Which of the following words can replace the underlined "thumbs-up"in Paragraph 3?A. doubtB. praiseC. ignoranceD. attention65. What do you probably mean by sending your friend an emoji of B hammer?A. You are awkward.B. You need a hammer.C. He/She loses his/her temper.D. He/She should apologize to you.66. What is Neil Cohn's opinion on emojis?A. They are not used by linguists.B. They will take over the traditional writing.C. They will become an international language.D. They bring convenience and challenges to language.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Virtual (虚拟) TeamsVirtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time. Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs. This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence, or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel.Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams.____67____. It is the way the team members communicate. They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. Due to more limited communication channels, the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected, and how the team is managed.____68____ One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. That is to say, when each person’s work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same moment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment. _____69____ Another important quality is communication skills. The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals, performance standards, andcommunication rules. People have various assumptions on what to expect from each other. _____70_____.One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team. The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.IV. Summary Writing (10')Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Now another American education icon may be disappearing: the hardbound (精装的) textbook. More and more school districts are replacing traditional textbooks with electronic ones. Electronic textbooks are usually accessed either through an online server or are downloaded to student laptops.In North Texas, Plano and Irving schools are introducing e-books into a few classrooms, and Lancaster school officials also are considering them. But no local district appears to be going as far as Forney. The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-books in every classroom for grades five to twelve.Officials point out several reasons for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of the students in the district is expected to double within five years. It’s difficult to know textbook needs in advance and some students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a “blank” laptop in a few hours.Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but there are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because they’re buying the instructional material. That may change as more and more districts move toward e-books.Today’ students have little trouble adj usting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley, who has taught at the Academy of Irving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers. “It’s harder for people who are right around my age and older.” said Ms. Cooley, 36. “I’m laptop-savvy, so I was ready for it, but those that aren’t are a little worrying.第II卷（共40分）I.

A wireless transmitter （发射器） passes the information to a receiver conn ected to a televisi on, and this decides how much evening view ing time the wearer deserves, based on the day ' s efforts.The desig n was in spired by a desire to fight aga inst the rapidly ballo oning waistl ines among British tee nagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London, UK.“ We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out, ” she says,（对 “ And I wante付） that with my design.How to Commun icate at Work, said bans were cotprteductive.Employers are wrong to ban MP3 players D. Nobody A. Forbid B. Permit C. ProtectD. DeclareOnce a child has used up their daily allowanee gained through exercise, the television automatically switchesoff. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amount ofboth. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours oftelevisi on. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers （计步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps bymeasuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But hershoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “ It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort, says. “ That was one of my main desig n con siderati ons. ”67. Accord ing to Swan, the purpose of her desig n project is to ______ .A. keep a record of the steps of the wearer.B. deal with overweight among teenagers.C. enable children to resist the temptation of TV.D.

I” or “What perfect skills he has?” Yeah, I 21 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 22 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 23 and how much they know about football besides 24 goals. It seems funny that we are 25 about things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 26 but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s 27We need these pleasures to 28 our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness or nonsense. As a saying 29 ; “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We 30 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good 31 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 32 about Beckham’s good looks.If we close our eyes, falling in deep 33 , we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 34 meaning. If we don’t go deeper and are just satisfied with 35 things, sooner or later we’ll find we have not really gained anything because our first 36 has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant(无知的) 37 we realizethat and make some changes.It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a 38 of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it pains us, we will 39 prove how much we have 40 up, how much more sensible, mature（成熟的), and intelligent we have become.21.

All Star ReadersBParents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself（懒散地躺） on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (供认) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.”One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.45. This passage is most probably written by _____.A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems46.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am aboutto do so I find the article on the 38 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 39 in good health, or a report about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 40 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 41 the title. Therefore, the scissors would stay before they start, 42 halfway done when I find out the 43 result.Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 44 . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 45 up. But you know the future is unpredictable —the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 46 . Thus you are caught in a difficult position and feel sad. How 47 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 48 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.In fact, that is what life is like: we are often 49 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only 50 we get into another. The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind. I 51 remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual 52 may not be a bad one.38. A. front B. same C. either D. opposite39. A. get B. keep C. lead D. bring40. A. suffer B. reduce C. prevent D. cause41. A. on B. for C. without D. of42. A. or B. but C. so D. for43. A. satisfying B. regretful C. surprising D. impossible44.

A. treatment B. action C. choice D. remarkSection BDirections: Read the following 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 given in the passage you have just read.AGuide to Stockholm University LibraryOur library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.ZonesThe library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.ComputersYou can use your own computer to connect to the wi-fi specially prepared for notebook computers, and you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.Group-study placesIf you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps.There are 40 group-study rooms that must be booked via the website. To book, you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week.Storage of Study MaterialThe library has lockers for students to store course literature. When you have obtained at least 40 credits(学分), you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year’s rental period.Rules to be FollowedMobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library. Keep your phone on silent as if you were in a lecture and exit the library if you need to receive calls.Please note that food and fruit are forbidden in the library, but you are allowed to have drinks and sweets with you.53.The library’s upper floor is mainly for students to _______.A. take comfortable seatsB. have group discussionsC. read in a quiet placeD. get their computers fixed54.Library computers on the ground floor _______.A. help students with their field experimentsB. are for those who want to access the wi-fiC. contain software essential for schoolworkD. are mostly used for filling out application forms55. A student can rent a locker in the library if he _______.A. has earned the required creditsB. attends certain coursesC. has nowhere to put his booksD. can afford the rental feeBWhen gas station manager Roger Randolph realized it was costing him money each time someone filled up with $4-a-gallon gas, he hung a sign on his pumps “No more credit cards.” He may be the first in West Virginia to ban plastic, but gas station operators nationwide are reporting similar troubles as higher prices translate into higher credit card fees the managers must pay, squeezing profits at the pump．“The more they buy, the more we lose, ”said Randolph, who manages Mr. Ed’s Chevron in St．Albans．“Gas prices go up, and our profits go down．”His complaints aim at the so-called interchange fee—a percentage of the sale price paid to credit card companies on every transaction（交易）．The percentage is fixed— usually at just under 2 percent—but the dollar amount of the fee rises with the price of the goods or services．As gas tops $4 a gallon, that pushes fees toward 10 cents a gallon．Now stations, which generally increase gasoline by 11 to 12 cents a gallon, are seeing profits shrink．In a month, Randolph’s small operation would yield a $60 profit on gasoline sales. But that’s been buried as soaring prices forced the station to pay about $500 a month in interchange fees．“At these prices, people aren’t making any money.” said Jeff Lenard, spokesman for the Alexandra, Va.-based National Association of Convenience Stores．“It’s brutal(粗暴的).” Lenard’s group reports convenience stores paid roughly $7.6 billion in credit card fees last year, while making $3.4 billion in profits.The credit card companies say fees are just part of the cost of doing business. MasterCard has capped interchange fees for gas purchases of $50 or more, said company spokeswoman Sharon Gamsin. Accepting MasterCard also gives gas stations “increased sales, greater security and convenience, lower labor costs, and speed for their customers at the pump”, Gainsin said in an e-mail to the Associated Press(美联社)．Visa argues that the fees are offset “by the tangible(实在的) benefits to stations and their customers, such as the ability to pay at thepump”, the company said in a statement to the AP．56.Why do some gas station owners no longer accept credit cards?A．Because they must pay high credit card fees．B．Because they suffer from credit cheating．C．Because they prefer getting cash．D．Because the percentage of the sale price has increased57.Visa believes that allowing customers to pay with a credit card offers _______ to everyone involved．A．increased sales B. lower labor costs C. greater security D. tangible benefits58.The underlined word “shrink” means_________.A．decrease B. become bigger C. increase D. stay steadyCRecently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. Y ou might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you may think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.59.According to the first paragraph, people have not realized ____.A. how important money is in their day-to-day lifeB. how one spends money shows what is important to himC. that money is more important than their philosophy of lifeD. that their understanding of life is more important than money60.What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?A. He does not feel that he is well educated.B. He does not think that he is a very important person.C. He doesn’t think that being rich is worth so much attention.D. He doesn’t consider himself to be very successful.61.What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?A. Money is an end.B. Money is a means.C. Money is everything.D. Money is unimportant.Section CDirections: After reading the passage below, choose the best answers from the six statements according to what you have just read.people read the date 2/1/2005 as the second of January in 2005. They put the day before the month. In other parts of the world, people read this date as February 1, 2005. They put the month before the day.(62) ________________________________________ The thumbs-up sign means “excellent” in the United States, but it’s an insult in parts of Africa. Moving the head up and down means “yes” in Europe and the United States. However, in Greece and Turkey, it means “no.” To point a finger at someone is okay in Canada, but it’s rude in Japan.For businesspeople, differences like this can cause serious misunderstandings. These misunderstandings can destroy business relationships. To avoid this, many businesspeople attend classes to learn about other cultures. They study the customs of other countries.Here are a few things they learn.Greeting clients correctly is important in the business world. However, customs for greeting people vary from one culture to another. (63) ___________________________________________ In Japan, people often bow. People from Thailand put their hands together as if praying and then bow the head. In some Arab countries, men don’t shake hands with women from outside the family.Entertaining is important in the business world. It’s often necessary to invite a client to lunch or dinner. However, customs about eating also vary from culture to culture. Some people don’t eat meat; others don’t drink alcohol. In the West, people eat with knives and forks; in the East, they eat with chopsticks. In some cultures, it’s okay to discuss business while eating. (64) _________________________________________ Businesspeople need to know about these differences.Sometimes businesspeople visit the homes of their clients. In most countries, it’s the custom to take a small gift. But what do you take? Again, the customs vary. For example, in England, giving a knife is bad luck. In some countries, it’s rude to give white flowers or a watch or clock.(65) _____________________________________ If you spend only a little money, you might appear stingy. If you spend too much, the gift might look like a bribe. In Malaysia and many other countries, there are laws against bribery.Doing business with people from different cultures is both fascinating and challenging. Many business people try to learn about other cultures. They do their best to avoid cultural misunderstandings.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where did you go yesterday? Did you hear music at any of those places? There is a good chance that you did. Today most stores and restaurants play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm.Scientists believe that music affects the way people behave. According to some scientists, the sound of western classical music (Mozart and Bach) makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. With no background music, people spend even less.Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people eat faster. People actually chew their food faster when the music gets faster. Some restaurants play fast music during their busy hours. This gets people to eat fasterand leave quickly. Restaurants can make more money this way.Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more alert. It is true that people learn better when they are relaxed. And listening to music can help you relax.The next time you hear music somewhere, be careful. It might change the way you behave.V.
