Life has become so competitive that every now and the n we are struck (遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. With every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.There are several reasons that affect a person’s self-confidence. The most important reason is lack of success. No t being able to succeed affects one’s self-confidence greatly. This is when one begins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejectedby society. For exam ple, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other pe ople for fear of being questioned about his work. However, thi s isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spi te of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish.The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believe in yours elf. Self belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allow your self-belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So, there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt your ability, d on’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Also remember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Cre ate one and live a life as you want to. Leave others to themsel ves.25. According to the text, what causes people to fear the unkn own?A. The low abilities.B. The lack of security.C. The loss of self-confidence.D. The severe competition in life.26. What does the underlined phrase “give a wide berth to” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Introduce something to.B. Hold a birthday party for.C. Make friends with.D. Keep awa y from.27. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How to achieve success.B. How to keep one’s self-confidence.C. The challenges that one should overcome.D. The reasons that affect one’s self-confidence.28. In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.A. should not forget his failuresB. should follow others’ adviceC. should not lose heartD. should believe life CAmmie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire o f a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water ov er her tiny infant frame.Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly bu rnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a near by hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors perf ormed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and cont rol her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over th e next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to rep air her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, othe r pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her . “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the s chool,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friend s because of that.”Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever rem ember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transpla nts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspi ration and hope to other young burns victims.She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a ch arity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the yo unger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge sh ire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show t he youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”29.What did other children do when Ammie first went to schoo l?A．They were friendly to her. B．They showed sym pathy to her.C．They were afraid of her. D．They looked down upon her.30. Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham W ater Center to___________.A．face others’ unkindness bravely B．hide their scars by proper dressingC．live a normal life D．recover quickly31. What does the underlined word “permanent” in the 4th par agraph mean?A. necessaryB. life-long C. difficult D. important32. What can be the best title of the passage?A．A Seriously Burned Girl Survives B．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind StaresC．Permanent Scars And Pain For a Girl D．A Seriously B urned Angel of HopeHalf the world’s population could face a shortage of food by 2 100 due to climate change, a new report by US scientists war ns. Rapid global warming is likely to reduce crop production in the tropics and subtropics, according to Professor David Batti sti of the University of Washington.The most extreme summers of the last century will become co mmon, he says. We must immediately create crops that can b ear heat and drought if we are to adapt in time, he writes in S cience journal.“The stresses on global food production from temperature alo ne are going to be huge,” said MrBattisti. “And that doesn’t tak e into account water supplies stressed by the higher temperat ures.”He worked with Professor Rosamond Naylor on Food Securit y and the Environment, to examine the influence of climate ch ange on the world’s food supplies. They predict there is a gre ater than 90% probability that by 2100, the average growing-season temperatures in the tropics and subtropics will be high er than any temperatures recorded there to date.“We are taking the worst of what we’ve seen historically and s aying that in the future it is going to be a lot worse unless ther e is some kind of adaptation,” said Professor Naylor. “This is a powerful reason for us to invest in adaptation, because it is clear that this is the direction we are going in terms of temper ature and it will take decades to develop new food crop varieti es that can better bear a warmer climate.”In the tropics, the higher temperatures could be expected to c ut production of the primary food crops by 20-40%, the researchers said. Rising temperatures are also likely to reduce soil moisture (湿度), cutting production even further.Three billion people live in the tropics and subtropics now, an d their number is expected nearly to double by the end of the century.“You are talking about hundreds of millions of additional peopl e looking for food because they won’t be able to find it where t hey find it now,” said Professor Battisti.Crop failures would not be limited to the tropics, the scientists concluded.33. According to Professor David Battisti, what should be done to deal with crops reduction caused by global warming?A. To plant more crops.B. To develop new crops.C. To control population growth.D. To improve farming technology.34. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. To reduce the temperature.B. New food crop varietyC. To invest in adaptation.D. Some kind of adaptation.35. The text intends to tell us that _____.A. our world is becoming warmer and warmerB. high temperatures may cause food shortagesC. the consequences of global warmingD. the ways to adapt to high temperatures第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

If you want to find a part-time job, you will look at________.A. For RentB. Help WantedC. For SaleD. LostBDid you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man’s face there? When the moon is round and full, the shadows(影子) of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes. At least, some people think so.If there were a man on the moon—instead of mountains and valleys that just look like theface of a man—what would he be like?He would not be like anyone you know. He would not be like anyone anybody knows.If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are, he could not stay on the moon.The moon becomes very, very hot. It becomes as hot as boiling water. And the moon becomes very, very cold. It becomes colder than ice.Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark.If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive, he couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there. He’d have to carry an oxygen tank, as astronauts do. There’s no food on the moon, either. Nothing grows—not even weeds（grass）.If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains, he would be very happy. There are many high places there, such as the raised land around the holes, or craters(火山口), of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earth’s highest mountains.But if the man on the moon liked to swim, he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock.When you think of what it’s like on the moon, you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.Going back and forth between the moon and Earth, astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long, long trips to some of the planets.Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer, closer view of the stars.29. What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon?A．The moon is beautiful.B．The moon is different from the earth.C．The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air, unlike Earth.D．The moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.30. The underlined word “rim” in the Paragraph 8 means _________.A．ball B．hill C．height D. round edge31. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The climate on the moon is quite different from that on the earth.B. Traveling between the moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts.C. There is some food and weeds on the moon, even though there’s no air.D. It is clearer to look at the stars through telescopes on the moon than on earth.32. What is the main thought of the passage?A. .A telescope on the Moon would help scientists have a clearer, closer sight of the stars.B. There may be human beings on the moon.C. If there were a man on the Moon, there would be many similarities between the man on theMoon and on the Earth.D. We can learn much from research on the MoonCAs societies develop, their members start to see things not so much according to what they need, but according to what they want. When people have enough money, these wants become demands.Now, it' s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they are going to develop effective marketing strategies (策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way at supermarkets, for example, is to interview customers while they're doing their shopping. They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies. It' s also quite normal for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public, as if they were ordinary customers, to get an idea of how customers act.Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for nothing. As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money, it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract.Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work, touting the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.33. The text is designed for _______A. customersB. salesmenC. researchersD. mangers34. Which of the following can help managers get useful information?A. Visiting customers themselves.B. Giving customers free food on the street.C. Visiting parks as ordinary customers.D. Asking customers questions at supermarkets.35. What does the word "this" underlined in the last sentence refer to?A. Visiting Disneyland.B. Dressing up and walking around.C. Wearing attractive clothes.D. Acting Mickey Mouse.36. The main idea of the text is _________.A. how to do market researchB. how to develop marketing strategiesC. how to find out customers' social needsD. how to encourage customers to spend more moneyDThe need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water. With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys(山谷)are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation. In Texas, farmers' overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.37. From the first two paragraphs we learn that________.A. much of the world's water is available for useB. people in high rainfall countries feel luckyC. water can be easily carried through pipes across the worldD. the costs of water redistribution should be considered38. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%.B. Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages.C. Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley.D. The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years.39. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Steps to improving water use management.B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.D. Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply.40. The text is mainly about________.A. water supply and increasing populationB. water use management and agricultureC. water redistribution and wildlife protectionD. water shortages and environmental protection第二节There is an English saying, "_____41_______." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body._____42_____.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. ______43_______. Laughter increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial._______44______. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. ______45_______.A. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making themsmile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughterB. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on thebody.C. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.D. Laughter is the best medicine.E. Laughter can prolong people’s life.F. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.G. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinicpractice.四、英语知识运用第一节：完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）Massive Open Online Courses are also called MOOCs.

" It is the day 21 the World Health Organization(WHO) appeals to people to stop using tobacco products. The WHO hopes 22 people stop smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco for one day, it will stop permanently. The day includes special observances and awards ceremonies in 166 countries. The target group for this year’s "No Tobacco Day" is women. Organizers want to make sure women know the dangers of smoking.Health experts have warned for years that smoking 23 lead to heart disease, cancer and other problems. The World Health Organization says diseases 24 (link) to smoking kill at least 2,500,000 persons each year. Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is nicotine, a substance found in cigarettes. Nicotine is a drug. The effects of it are similar to the effects of cocaine and heroin."No Tobacco Day" is aimed at smokers and those 25 earn money from tobacco sales. So businesses are asked not 26 (publish)advertisements for cigarettes.Two important developments 27 (observe) in recent years. In industrial countries, the number of smokers has been falling about one percent a year. But in 28 (rich) countries, the number has been rising two percent a year. This is the result of increased efforts 29 tobacco companies to sell their products in developing countries.The World Health Organization has approved plans to help reach its goal of a "smoke-free" world. One urges governments to offer tobacco farmers the chances to earn money by growing other crops.30 involves improved public information campaigns about the dangers of smoking.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once.

The steam railroad offered the best, the most reliable and the fastest means of transport. Electric railways (trams and trolleys) provided 31.______ intra urban and short-distance intercity travel. They also offered some longer routes, but only in certain parts of the country. Horse-drawn coaches were neither a competitive nor a comfortable 32._____ given unacceptable slate(石板) of the nation’s highways; and though bicycles were popular in both town and country, they, too, were hampered by poor road 33. _______. It took the mass production andownership of cars, together with increased attention to road construction to bring the major 34.________ in travel in the 1920's. And alongside the rapid 35.______ of the popular and individualistic auto came the slower, but significant, growth of bus transport. Not only did buses largely 36._______trams and trolleys in urbun mass transit, they also opened up new avenues of intercity travel both to those Americans who could not afford cars and to those out owners who preferred to leave distance driving to others.No 37.______date marks the beginning of the American intercity bus industry because so many individuals were attracted to it at about the some time by the large profits 38._____ to them. These bus pioneers came from all walks of life. Few knew much about transport or about business, but they were willing to take a chance on a new venture that had 39.__ entry costs. People became aware of the new service by word of mouth or newspaper advertisements, bUt a regular commitment was not guaranteed. Bus drivers frequently did not start until they had a full load; and those who traveled on the early buses were 40.______ with reaching their destination rather than enjoying a fast or comfortable journey.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage 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.Cowboy or spaceman? A dilemma for a children’s party, perhaps. But also a question for economists, argued Kenneth Boulding, a British economist, in an essay published in 1966. We have run our ____41_____, he warned, like cowboys on the open grassland: taking and using the world’s resources, ___42_____ that more lies over the horizon. But the Earth is __43___a grassland than a spaceship—a closed system, alone in space, carrying limited supplies. We need, said Boulding, an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental ___44_____. In the half century since his essay, a new movement has responded to his challenge. “Ecological economists”, as they call themselves, want to ___45___ its aims and assumptions. What do they say—and will their ideas achieve lift-off?To its___46_____, ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics, but a mix of both. Their starting point is to recognize that the human economy is part of the natural world. Our environment, they note, is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes. But it is__47____ in conventional textbooks, where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms, households and the government as though nature did not exist. That is a mistake, say ecological economists.There are two ways our economies can grow, ecological economists point out: through technological change, or through more intensive use of resources. Only the ___48_____, they say, is worth having. They are suspicious of GDP, a crude ___49______which does not take account of resource exhaustion, unpaid work, and countless other factors. ___50_____ they advocate more holistic(全面的) approaches, such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), a composite index(复合指标) that includes things like the cost of pollution, deforestation and car accidents. While GDP has kept growing, global GPI per person _____51____in 1978: by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer, not richer. The solution, says Herman Daly, aformer World Bank economist and eco-guru, is a “steady-state”economy, where the use of materials and energy is held ___52_____.Mainstream economists are ___53___. The GPI, they point out, is a subjective measure. And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus, a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted, wrongly, that overpopulation would lead to famine. Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems. But ecological economists ____54____self-satisfaction. In 2009 a paper in Nature, a scientific journal, argued that human activity is already ____55_____ safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change. That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions, even if their answers turn out to be wrong.41.A.grassland B. nation C. economy D. spaceship42.A.ignorant B. confident C. astonished D. anxious43.A.less B. smaller C. more D. larger44.A.movements B. influences C. limits D. threat.45A.reject B. realize C. resemble D. revolutionize46.A. challengers B. learners C. advocates D. professors47.A. addressed B. ignored C. opposed D. reflected48.A. advanced B. former C. later D. scientific49.

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.AIn America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study he basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practicestarting, steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other skills required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student get half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special Feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate age to drive(this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all the three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person did well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test with flying color and get a driver's license.56. In America, the driver's course mentioned above is_______.A. considered as part of the advanced educationB. given to anyone wanting to get a driver's licenseC. carried on at the same time as other coursesD. required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools57. To prevent accidents, a driver's ED car_______.A. has a sign inside itB. has two sets of brakesC. is big enough to hold five personsD. can't run very fast58. We can infer that the students are required to_______ in their whole driving practice.A. go out driving for twelve timesB. spend at least six hours drivingC. drive for two-hour blocks of timeD. get half an hour driving59. In the last sentence, "with flying colors" means_.A. happilyB. successfullyC. colorfullyD. quickly(B)Many people think the search for cleaner energy leads only to renewable resources like sun, wind and water. But it also leads to a fossil fuel. Natural gas is considered the cleanest of the fossil fuels , the fuel created by plant and animal remains over millions of years. Burning it releases fewer pollutants than oil or coal. The gas is mainly methane. It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change.Russia is first in what are called "proved reserves" of natural gas. The United States is sixth. Over the years, big oil and gas companies recovered much of the easily reached supplies of gas in America. They drilled straight down into formations where gas collects. As these supplies were usedup, big drillers looked for similar formations in other countries.But now the industry is taking" a new look. Companies are developing gas supplies in shale(页岩) rock two to three thousand meters underground. They drill down to the shale,then go sideways and inject high-pressure water ,sand or other material into the rock.This causes the rock to fracture ,releasing the gas. Huge fields of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountain, Michigan and the south-central states . gas shale exploration is being done mainly by small to medium sized companies. Eric Potter, a program director, says more than half the gas in the United States is now coming from these new reserves.But hydraulic(液压的）fracturing can also produce debate and anger over the risk of groundwater pollution.This method of drilling is not federally supervised under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some in Congress want to end that exemption from the law.Natural gas provides Americans with about one fourth of their energy. And, unlike oil. most of it is produced in America. Gas producers invested heavily in reaching new supplies when prices were high. But prices are down sharply now because the depression cut demand for energy. So energy- expert Eric Potter says it is too early to know how the changing market prices will affect the market for gas shale exploration.60.We can learn from the first paragraph that ____.A.natural gas releases methane and carbon dioxideB.natural gas is considered as the cleanest energyC. natural gas is more environmentally friendly than other fossil fuelsD. natural gas is a renewable source of energy61. Gas shale exploration may cause disagreement because___.A. it may cause water pollutionB. It brings too high profits.C. it breaks the JawD. it ls out of states’ control62.According to Eric Potter, the new gas shale exploration___.A. Will provide America with about one fourth of their energyB. Will increase demand for energyC. ill make gas producers invest a big sum of moneyD. may be Influenced by the changing market prices(C)The question of how to deal with the growing number of retired people has recently been seen as chiefly a financial puzzle: how to pay for the leisure of those ageing layabouts. When Bismarck first introduced state pensions in the 1880s, they kicked in at the age of 70, about 20 years more than the typical life span. Nowadays state and company pension schemes kick in at or before 65, almost 20 years less. But the issue is more than just a financial one: it raises social as well as economic questions, and its resolution will involve governments, employers and people.There are several ways of dealing with a falling supply of labour: work might be shifted offshore, to take advantage of abundant cheaper workers in poorer countries; laxer immigration rules might allow in more skilled labour from abroad; new equipment could enhance the productivity of a better-educated workforce. But one of the readiest sources of skilled labour iscloser to hand.If staying on at work were up to older employees alone, many would jump at the chance. That is partly because they will no longer be able to retire in the style that they have been led to expect. Corporate pension schemes and health benefits are becoming ever less generous. Last week General Motors joined the line of revisionists with an announcement that it will cap health-care spending by its retired workers. That will not be the last cut.Baby-boomers say they want to stay in the workforce for more than money. Many also want to carry on working beyond the standard retirement age for the mental stimulation (try that on the next bored-looking 20-year-old you meet in the lift). Their productivity may decline as they get older—although people gain in experience, their capacity for sharp thinking falls off—but the traditional pattern of retirement, in which one day an employee is in a bustling office busy as a bee and the next he is good only for the potting shed and the fireside chair does not make sense for the economy, for companies or for people.Lastly, older workers need to adapt. In many cultures, age is related to seniority, and therefore to pay. The older the worker, the more expensive he is. Boomers will find work only if they accept that their wages will be based on what they are worth to the company—rather than their salary at the top of their career. Although a shortage of skills might well push up wages for all workers, older ones may nevertheless have to accept a relative decline in salary and status.Baby-boomers have been changing the world since the 1960s. They're about to do it again by turning the world of work upside down.63. According to the passage, some companies are already concerned about ______.A. the proper way of giving out retirement souvenirsB. the growing number of employees quitting their jobsC. the impact of aging employees leaving the labour forceD. the revision of retirement age and pension plans64. Old employees might agree to stay on at work beyond the retirement age partly because ______.A. they can still expect a handsome salary at the top of their career.B. they are concerned that production will decline as they retire.C. An upper limit will be set of pension and other retirement benefitsD. they still need physical and mental stimulation to sharpen their thinking65. The passage predicts that they baby-boomers are about to change the world again in that ______.A. a brand-new performance-based wage system will inevitably be introducedB. social productivity will remain high as it has always doneC. there will be a complete change in training the younger workforceD. the current compulsory retirement system will probably cease to exist66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Potentially Productive Ageing WorkforceB. Social Concern over Pension PlansC. Resolution of the Financial PuzzleD. Baby-boomers and their Retirement lifeDirections: 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.Outdoor air pollution leads to more than 3 million premature deaths each year, and more than two thirds of them occur in China and India, according to new research. The authors estimate that without government intervention, the total number of deaths could double by 2050.______67______. Particulate matter, a substance formed as a combination of different materials released into the air, is thought to be harmful to human health once it exceeds 2.5 micrometers in diameter. Researchers also identified ozone as a contributor to dangerous air quality. The causes of air pollution vary dramatically from place to place. In India and China, the study says, emissions from residential heating and cooking drive air pollution by creating unhealthy quantities of smoke. Overall, residential heating emissions cause one third of air pollution-related deaths worldwide._____68_____. Fertilizer used in agriculture releases ammonia into the atmosphere, a process that creates harmful particulate matter. Globally, air pollution from agriculture kills more than 600,000 people annually, the study finds.The findings are consistent with a 2014 report from the World Health Organization that suggested that 7 million deaths occur annually due to both indoor and outdoor air pollution.The study’s conclusions give a sense of urgency to efforts to reduce air pollution but present challenges because of difficulty regulating heating activity i n people’s homes, according to study author Jos Lelieveld._____69_____..“It’s important to reduce emissions from residential energy use,” Lelieveld said on a conference call for journalists. “You can’t ask people to stop eating and cooking, but you can pr ovide better technologies.”_____70_____. Another study published this week in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives reached similar conclusions showing the devastating (毁灭性的) effects of pollution on individual health. Researchers found that chronic exposure to particulate matter increases the chance of early death by 3%. That risk is especially high for heart disease; the chance a person will die of heart disease increases by around 10% with chronic exposure to particulate matter.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.Online ProfilesSocial networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Orkut are now estimated to have more than 700 million users worldwide. As users can create any profile of themselves they choose, you might expect them to portray themselves in the best possible way. When putting up a profile, it would be reasonable for them to present positive images, choose sophisticated interests, and carefully express their thoughts so as to appear more intelligent than in real life. But according to recent research, this is not the case. Far from presenting themselves in a flattering way, most users’ profiles reflect their true personalities, and reveal both psycholopical and natural physical weakness.Research was carried out on 250 Facebook users who filled in a personality questionnaire. Results were compared with the same people's Facebook profiles. The survey set out to assess not only the participants' actual personality, but their "ideal" personality — in other words, what kind of person they would be if they actually possessed all their ideal characteristics. These results were then compared with the participants' Facebook profiles. What emerged was astonishing: far from being idealized versions of themselves, people's online profiles roughly resemble what they were really like. Their profiles accurately reflected how agreeable, outgoing, hardworking, and sociable they were in real life.It's not entirely clear why online profiles display user’s personalities so accurately. It could be that users want to portray themselves as they really are, or it could be that people attempt to present an ideal image of themselves but in fact fail to do so. One thing seems clear: social networking sites can in no way be considered a false online world that is idealized and removed from reality; rather, they are simply another way in which people choose to interact with each other.第II卷（共40分）I.
