Personally, that is what I agree with. Because success never comes easily and the stricter a teacher is, the more likely a student will be to make progress.I still remember the time when I couldn’t swim like other boys. What’s worse, I even dared not jump into the water. It was my swimming teacher, Mr. Liu, who insisted on training me every day regardless of my tears and crying. Gradually, my fear of water was gone and my confidence arose. But for him, I would never enjoy the fun that swimming brings to me.Therefore, I am convinced that a teacher’s strictness best helps his students to achieve success. (110 words)。

They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown (触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, commercial airtime is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on commercials. They draw the viewers’attention and advertise their image or products during the commercial break.After football season, the “March Madness”begins. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) competitions begin with 68 men’s college basketball teams. They play until the field is reduced to the “Final Four”. The winning team becomes the national champion. The NBA (National Basketball Association) All-Star game is also held in February. The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot (吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning (棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, come and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on. Sports are definitely a part of American culture one should not miss.66. According to the passage, the Super Bowl is _____.A. a well-received American football gameB. an expensive American sportC. an impressive TV performanceD. a most-watched TV series67. Which of the following may be one of the reasons for the popularity of the Super Bowl?A. Its results are too exciting to meet viewers’ expectations.B. People can eat pizza, chicken wings and chips when watching it.C. Its commercials are expensive enough to draw viewer s’ attention.D. The performances during its halftime show are appealing to viewers.68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Americans spend a large amount of money on ball games.B. American people of all ages like going to watch baseball games.C. All the American stars take part in the national basketball game.D.

The virtual wall is designed to _____.A. limit the robot to a certain areaB. prevent the robot from bumping into wallsC. stop the robot from reaching 4 metersD. create a bunch of light outside thedoorway（C）We have entered a new age of embedded (嵌入式的), intuitive (直觉的) computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. It’s not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine? A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it’s time to take a pill.Technology is being integrated (融入) into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations throughmainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the introduction of the PC (personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.In computing’s second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.As the third wave keeps developing, designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.Historically, designers have focused their attention on a product’s form and function. While that still matters, of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significantly and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.74. Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2?A. To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter.B. To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology.C. To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives.D. To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.75. In the first wave of computing _____.A. companies’ operations were reliable on computer systemsB. computing had awareness of people’s needs in the contextC. people could have access to computing almost everywhereD. it was possible for people to experience computing at home76. Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing?A. There’s no need to create a single product.B. The definition of the user experience is more significant.C. Products and services are not independent of each other.D. The products’ form and functions are no longer important.77. What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing?A. There’s a shift of attention from people’s physical worlds to their digital worlds.B. There’s closer relationship between technology and people’s natural behaviours.C. People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.D. People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day? Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people.You probably don’t need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health —from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity (肥胖) in the long term, to reduced cholesterol (胆固醇) maintenance in the short term, not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine (脊柱).To make matters worse, a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise, according to an article in The New York Times. The article reported that a study of nearly 9, 000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day, the risk of dying rose by 11 percent. In other words, sitting is killing us.Stand up for health. Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting. They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day. The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood, and when they sat around. When they looked at the data, there were some striking differences. Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair. Standing also burned more calories (热量单位：卡路里)—about 50 calories an hour. Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30, 000 extra calories, or around 3.63 kilograms of fat.John Buckley, a member of the research team, said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits, our bodies also need the constant, almost imperceptible (感觉不到的) increase in muscle activity that standing provides. Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.The researchers believe that even small adjustments, like standing while talking on the phone, going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail, or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator, will help.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. According to the context, the underlined expression “be countered with” in Paragraph 3can best be replaced by “________”.79. The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University ofChester in the UK are that standing _________.80. Why is standing better than doing exercise according to John Buckley?81. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?第II卷(共47分)I.

She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her．”“For a moment she paused, but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back．When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store．”64．January is a good month for shoplifters because ________．A．they don’t need to wait for staff to serve themB．they don’t need any previous experience as thievesC．January sales offer wonderful opportunities for themD．there are so many people in the store65．The case last October was important because ________．A．the store got the dresses backB．the equipment was able to frighten shopliftersC．other shops found out about the equipmentD．the kind of evidence supplied was accepted by court66．The woman stealing perfume ________．A．guessed what the sputniks were forB．was frightened by its shapeC．could see the camera filming herD．knew that the detective had seen her67．The woman’s action before leaving the store shows that she________．A．was sorry for what she had doneB．decided she didn’t want what she had picked upC．was afraid she would be arrestedD．wanted to prove she had not intended to steal anythingDRon Meyer is the president and COO（首席运营官） of Universal Studios．As one of the most successful business leaders in Hollywood, he heads up Universal Pictures and Universal Parks & Resorts．He’s the guy who oversees the production of Multimillion-dollar extravaganzas（作品） like King Kong and Cinderella Man．Meyer’s story sounds like t he plot of one of his motion pictures．He grew up in a modest home where there was little income．It was a big deal to go to a restaurant．At 15, he quit high school and spent his time hanging out with the neighborhood toughs（流氓）．He was then a kid quick with his fists who seemed to get into fights somewhat regularly．At one point, he was separated from others with an infectious disease, having no TV and nothing to do．His mother senthim two books．One was The Amboy Dukes, a novel about kids in street gangs．The other was The Flesh Peddlers, about a guy in the talent agency（星探公司） who lived a successful life．“I realized,” he says, “that I was no longer that silly kid I had been, and I wanted to change my life．”Meyer took any job he could get．He worked as a busboy and short-order cook．He cleaned offices and sold shoes．That attitude made an impression on people．One day he received a call from Paul Kohner, a successful agent who represented stars like John Huston, Charles Bronson and Lana Turner．Their messenger and driver had quit, and they knew Ron was willing to take whatever job they offered. He started the job the next day．Meyer was lucky to work with a good boss―and he had the brains to make the most of that experience．In nearly six years of driving for Kohner, Meyer became his right-hand man and learned a lot．By the 1970s, Meyer had built many relationships in the business．In 1975, the fate presented an opportunity and he started his own operation Creative Artists Agency, which became a huge success, representing Hollywood legends like Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise．Twenty years later, Meyer was appointed to run Universal Studios, a position far beyond his youthful dream．But once he saw success was possible, he was driven to achieve it．Today, colleagues regularly owe his success―and theirs―to his humility and perseverance．It’s a level of success that takes determination, personality and intelligence, whether it comes from a college education or from the street．68．What is the main idea of the passage?A．How a bitter childhood contributes to one’s success．B．It’s important to choose a right career to achieve one’s life goal．C．A talent agency helps a person to become famous．D．It’s people’s determination, intelligence and pers onality that decide their success．69．What does the author mean by saying “he had the brains to make the most of that experience”?A．He benefited a good deal from the experience．B．He smartly took the opportunity to learn from the experience．C．That experience made him ever smarter than ever before．D．He used his brains to impress his boss．70．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．A talent agency is to oversee the production of movies．B．Ron Meyer did far more successfully than Raul Kohner．C．Relationship is the most important thing in the film industry．D．Meyer had never thought of being as successful as today．第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分2014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。

1. After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall．When Mrs．Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．（1）The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that________．A a terrible traffic accident happened to himB he had to live in a dark and silentworld C he was struck by the lightning once more D nobody in the world cared about him．（2）What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning？________A Sheltering from the rain under a tree．B Driving a car．C Taking a walk with a stick．D Lying on the ground．．（3）We can infer from the text that________．A there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recoveryB many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recovery．（4）What's the best title of the whole passage？________A A Terrible Electrical AccidentB Robert Edwards and His WifeC What a Sudden ShockD An Unforgettable Experience．2.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．"I was a clothes addict．"he jokes．"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．"Today David wears casual clothes﹣khaki pants and a sports shirt﹣to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．"I am working harder than ever．"David says, "and I need to feel comfortable．"More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work．In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual．In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）．This became known as"dress﹣down Friday"or"casual Friday"．"What started out as an extra one﹣day﹣a﹣week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．"said business consultant Maisly Jones． Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code．""A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work, "says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code．"Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）．Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity．Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money．"Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day, "one person said．"For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes．"（1）David Smith refers to himself as having been"a clothes addict，"because________．A he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB he couldn't stand a clean appearanceC he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD he didn't want to spend much money on clothes．（2）David Smith wears casual clothes now，because________．A they make him feel at ease when workingB he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC he looks handsome in casual clothesD he no longer works for any company．（3）In this passage，the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT________．A saving employees'moneyB making employees more attractiveC improving employees'motivationD making employees happier．4. In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty﹣one hours every year stuck in traffic．These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be．"There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot．"Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams．He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles．He is always late even with the help of a navigation （导航） system．He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that．He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house．"What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including trafficdata, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home．"Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions．With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route．It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road．Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities．"I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this．"Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple．（1）Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to________．A show care for themB introduce their lifeC solve traffic problemsD raise the topic．（2）What is unique about ClearPath？________A It can use a lot of information all over the world．B It can ensure that you will never be late for work．C It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road．D It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time．．（3）The underlined word"hits"in the fifth paragraph probably means________．A have an accidentB get toC turn left or rightD collect traffic data．（4）What's Professor Shahabi's attitude toward his invention？________A Disappointed．B Proud．C Optimistic．D Worried．第二节（共1小题;每小题10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。
