AAlmost all American cities have nicknames. They help establish a city’s identity. They can also spread unity and pride among its citizens.Two east coast cities--Philadelphia and Boston—were both important in the early history of the United States. Philadelphia is best known as The City of Brotherly Love.In 1681, King Charles II of England gave William Penn a large amount of land to establish a colony. The king named the colony Pennsylvania in honor of Penn’s father. William Penn was a Quaker. He brought his beliefs about equality, religious freedom and brotherly love to this new land. Penn was also an expert in Latin and Greek. He established a city and named it Philadelphia, which is Greek for “brotherly love”. An ancient city called Philadelphia was also noted in Christianity’s holy book, the Bible.Philadelphia became the social, political and geographical center of the American colonies. In the late 1700s, many events that took place in Philadelphia gave birth to the American Revolution and independence. For example, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed in the city. Philadelphia was the temporary capital of the new nation from1790 to 1800.Some of Philadelphia’s other nicknames are The Quaker City, The Cradle of Liberty and The Birthplace of America.

His father explained it was magnetism that made the compass needle always point north. To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the compass was a miracle he would never forget.But then Albert had always been different from other children. Born on March 14, 1879, in Germa ny, Albert hadn’t been looked like other babies. His mother, Pauline thought the back of his head looked strange. Other babies didn’t have such large, pointed skulls. Was something wrong with Albert? Finally the doctor told Pauline everything was fine.When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich, where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. Looking down at the tiny sleeping bundle, Albert was puzzled. Where were the baby’s wheels? The disappointed two year old wanted to know. Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels.Albert’s parents were amused by his confusion. But any response at all would have delighted them. At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. Hermann and Pauline wondered why he was so late in talking. Was their son developing normally? As Albert grew older, he continued to have trouble putting his thoughts into words. Even when he was nine years old, he spoke slowly, if he decided to say anything at all. Pauline and Hermann didn’t know what to think.But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker Sometimes when he went hiking with hisparents and Maja, he thought about his father’s compass and what it had revealed to him. The clear, open meadows were filled with more than the wind or the scent of flowers. They were also filled with magnetism. The very thought of it quickened Albert’s pulse.4. Why did Albert think the compass was a miracle?A. Because the compass was another toy for him.B. Because the compass was another tool for him.C. Because the compass always moved.D. Because the compass always pointed to the north.5. How old was Albert when his sister was born?A. One year old.B. Two years old.C. Four years old .D. Five years old.6. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. He felt very puzzled because his baby sister had no wheels.B. He felt very confused because his baby sister didn’t talk to him.C. He felt very pleased because his baby sister looked like his toy.D. He felt very satisfied because his baby sister liked him.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Miracle for Young AlbertB. Einstein’s Childhood StoriesC. What Makes Einstein DifferentD. Einstein and His FamilyCThe Year of 1510ArtIn 1510, art developed and the first widely distributed printed book, Gutenberg’s Bible, had appeared in the 1450s. Explorers were expanding knowledge of the planet as they crossed the Atlantic, or pushed south along the African and South America continents.Art historians name only Michaelangelo and Raphael as talented enough to rank with their peer, Leonardo da Vinci, most known for his paintings of the “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper”. Centuries later, no one can name a man as intellectually diverse as da Vinci, whose interest included biology, botany, engineering, physics, astronomy, medicine and other fields a man equally at home in the arts and the scientists, known for his inventions and his artistic talent.There is, however, a German painter, printmaker and theorist from Nuremberg whose watercolors and woodcuts reveal remarkable talent. He is Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), whose works have stood the test of time, making him an icon of the Northern Renaissance, as are elder and younger Hans Holbeins.PopulationThe world population in the year 1510 is believed to have been just over 450 million. It is now about 7 billion and expected to reach about 9.5 billion in 2050. Regions with the largest population still were in Southern and Eastern Asia. More than half of the worlds population lived there.CitiesThe top cities in 1510 begin with the largest, Beijing in China (672,000), and four of the top 10 are in China, where as only one, Paris (185,000) in eighth place, is in Europe. Cairo, Egypt, is in third place, and Tabriz, Iran, is in fifth place.8. What can we not lean about Albrecht Durer from the passage?A. His nationality.B. His achievement.C. His occupation.D. His education.9. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A. Art historians think highly of Leonardo da VinciB .In 1510, regions with the largest population were in Europe.C. Leonardo da Vinci is known for his inventions and talent in art.D. Explorers crossed the Atlantic, African and South America continents.10. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To compare life in 1510 with that of today.B. To show respect to great people in the history.C. To provide us some information about the year of 1510.D. To introduce the development of art, population and cities.11. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Bible appeared in the middle of the 15th century.B. Four of the top 10 cities in 1510 arc in Europe.C. Cairo is after Tabriz as one of the top 10 cities in 1510.D. The world population in 1510 is a little smaller than that of today.DAs animals grow, the sounds they make change. But some sounds continue to change, even after an animal matures. That’s true for humans, and now it turns out to be true for North Atlantic right whales, too.Syracuse University biologist Holly Root-Gutteridge analyzed recordings of whale calls to see if researchers could use those sounds to identify individual whales.tn an audio program on a computer screen, a call has a particular shape. “Staring at t hese calls all day, I started to notice they were changing from being a little tiny baby to being a fair sized adult, but that they kept changing over time.”Root-Gutteridge and her colleagues gathered nearly a thousand calls from 49 individual whales between the ages of one month and 37 years.Like many other animals, the calls of the infants were both shorter and less structured than those of the adults. Mature whales produced calls that were clearer, longer, and more structurally complex. But the researchers also found that the calls continued to develop long after the whales reached sexual and physical maturity.“Instead of just changing from the age of 0 to 15 when they’re pretty much full-grown, they kept changing after the age of 15 and just kept going throughout their whole lives. Compared to say, a bird, where usually they get to their full-grown state and then they don't change these calls.”In other words, understanding the calls of North Atlantic right whales might shed some light on the minds of North Atlantic right whales. In the meantime, scientists announced recently that they did not observe any newly born North Atlantic right whales these years. With luck, the work of biologists like Root-Gutteridge might offer insights that help us we try to help them survive.12. How did Root-Gutteridge know whale calls change over time?A. By staring at whales.B. By making a comparison.C. By gathering information.D. By studying the recording of whale calls.13. What can we learn from the text?A. Like many other animals, whales began changing calls from 15.B. The calls of baby whales are much clearer than those of the adults.C. Adult whales produce calls much more complex than baby whales.D. Whale calls will not change after whales reach sexual and physical maturity.14. Why did the researches compare the bird calls with whale calls?A. To help people know what whale calls are like.B. To show that whales can change their calls and way of communication.C. To confirm that birds are more intelligent than whales.D. To prove that whales are better than birds in changing call.15. In which field may Root-Gutteridge’s research help?A. Whales’ survival.B. Whales’ difference.C. Whales’ intelligence.D. Whales’ habitat protection.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。

What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing incommon: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first taste of beer. Feeling sick, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first try of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (attraction) that you need your will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to such experiences, can ever someday come to develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, just in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures —far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.49. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends.50. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ______.A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC. self-control should be developed when one is youngD. everyone can be challenged by different temptations51. In the last paragraph, the author stresses (强调) that ______.A. without self-control, no one can succeedB. bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC. applying self-control correctly is importantD. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior52. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Taste of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-controlCGrown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know thatif we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (视觉影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land (想像中的地方)?Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted (替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch (更换). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.53. The passage is mainly about ______.A. babies’ sense of sightB. effects of experiments on babiesC. babies’ understanding of objectsD. different tests on babies’ feelings54. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, “object ______”.A. still existsB. keeps its shapeC. still stays solidD. is beyond reach55. What did Bower use in his experiments?A. A chair & a screenB. A screen & a trainC. A film & a trainD. A box &a chair56. Which of the following statements is true?A. The babies didn’t have a sense of direction.B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls.C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objectsD. The babies couldn’t tell a ball from its optical i llusion.D“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her motherpaused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great-great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prison ers.” “Gosh, sorry for my asking. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper, pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.57. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.A. a family honorB. a family secretC. a family storyD. a family treasure58. What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.59. Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was ______.A. knockedB. frightenedC. injuredD. surprised60. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?A. She was very curious about it.B. She planned to keep it for fun.C. She needed it for her school task.D. She intended to scare her parents.61.

AWith more than 100,000 people aged 100 or over, Spain is the country with the greatest life expectancy after Japan. How do you live to 100? Here 4 of the country’s centenarians (百岁老人) give their advice on staying youthful.1.Why does Francisco Nunez dislike living with other old people?A.They may depend on his help.B.He is sensitive to his old age.C.They may affect his attitude to life.D.He has more kids to look after at home.2.What benefits her health according to Pilar Fernandez?A.Doing gardening.B.Learning history.C.Living with kids.D.Having more children.3.What can we infer about the four old people from the text?A.They are fond of exercising regularly.B.They led a hard life when they were young.C.They have the same hobbies in their free time.D.They have their own method of staying youthful.BTravel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before.And how marvelous must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road.Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That’s why the best travel is when it’s for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United State s. Of course, they’ve probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.Although travel is often just for recreation, it’s also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.We’re learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and t hat the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”4. The author uses Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to .A. explain how the Silk Road was foundedB. present travel as an amazing experienceC. show how the way people travel has changedD. describe important cultural exchanges in history5. By saying “the best travel is when it’s for the first time”, the author means that .A. one’s first trip is usually the most challengingB. no other trip is better than one’s first tripC. there is always much to learn on one’s first tripD. people usually make better preparations for their first trip6. The underlined word in paragraph 4 probably means .A. learningB. knowledgeC. funD. risk7. According to the last two paragraphs, the author believes that .A. traveling should be included in formal educationB. traveling improves people’s confidence in their lifestyleC. a foreign journey may raise people’s cultural understandingD. there is more to learn from adventures than being in classroomCExactly five years ago, on New Year’s Eve, I was invited to a children’s ball by a man high up in the business world, who had his connections, his circle of acquaintances, and his close friends. So it seemed as though the children’s ball was merely an excuse for the parents to come together and discuss matters of interest to themselves, quite innocently and casually.I was an outsider, and, as I had no special matters to air, I was able to spend the evening independently of the others. There was another gentleman present who like me had just stumbled upon (偶然发现) this affair of domestic happiness. He was the first to attract my attention. His appearance was not that of a man of noble birth. He was tall, rather thin, very serious, and well dressed. Obviously he had no heart for the family celebration. The instant he went off into a corner by himself the smile disappeared from his face, and his thick dark brows knitted into a frown(皱眉). He knew no one except the host and showed every sign of being bored to death, though bravely keeping the role of thorough enjoyment to the end. Later I learned that he was a provincial, had come to the capital on some important business, had brought a letter of recommendation to our host, and our host had taken him under his protection, not at all with love. It was merely out of politeness that he had invited him to the children’s ball.They did not play cards with him. They did not offer him cigars. No one entered into conversation with him. Possibly they recognized the bird by its feathers from a distance. Thus, my gentleman, not knowing what to do with his hands, was compelled(迫使) to spend the evening stroking (抚摸) his whiskers(胡须). His whiskers were really fine, but he stroked them so eagerly that one got the feeling that the whiskers had come into the world first and afterwards the man in order to stroke them.8. According to the author, the real purpose of the children ball was that ______.A. the parents wanted to make their children happyB. the parents had a chance to meet and socializeC. the host hoped to make the guests happyD. the host wanted to give a welcome to an important guest9.The gentleman was unhappy because ______.A.he was one of the poor relatives of the hostB. he was from the countrysideC.he was trying to do some business with the hostD. he was not really welcome in the ball10.The gentleman touched his whiskers eagerly just because ______.A. he liked his whiskers very muchB. he had the habit of doing soC. he was embarrassed in the ballD. he felt uneasy wearing whiskers11. When the author was telling the story, he was ______.A. humorousB. seriousC. jokingD. doubtfulDIs It Worth Buying Organic Food?Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popularnowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goodswith organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organicfood gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save yourmoney. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organicproducts aren't necessarily more nutritious,and they're no less likely to sufferfrom disease-causing bacteria, either.The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggestthat buyers may be wasting their money. "We did not find strong evidence thatorganic food is more nutritious or healthier," says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spanglerfrom Stanford. "So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has alower risk or is safer."For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted areview of two categories of research, including 17 studies that comparedhealth outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional foodproducts, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods,including key vitamins, minerals and fats.While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they didfind that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicalsremaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levelsof chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And bothorganic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely tobe harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organicmilk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fatalso found in fish that can reduce therisk of heart disease. However, thesenutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling tomake much of them until further studies confirm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growingpractices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthierproduct. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether youbuy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggesteffect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed asorganic.12. The new research questions whether organic food __________.A. should replace traditional foodB. has been overpriced by farmersC. is grown with less harmful chemicalsD. is really more nutritious and healthier13. Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that __________.A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseB. traditional food was grown with more natural methodsC. both organic and traditional food they examined were safeD. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food14. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?A. Organic chicken and pork.B. Organic milk and chicken.C. Traditional chicken and pork.D. Traditional fruit and vegetables.15. What i s the author’s attitude toward organic food?A. ScepticalB. NeutralC. UnconcernedD. Approving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。
