笔试部分(80 分)一、完形填空(每小题 1 分,共10 分)A farmer put up a sign, “Puppies (小狗)for sale ”. One day, a little boy came over and said, “Mr., I want to 1 one of your p uppies.”“Well,” said the farmer, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money ”.The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he 2 o ut a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I ’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to have 3 look?”“Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle, “Here, Dolly!” he called. Out from the 4 ran Dolly, followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the fence, and his eyes danced 5happiness.As the dogs made 6 way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else still inside the doghouse. Another little dog appeared 7 which was much smaller and weaker. But he did his best to catch up with others “. I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the weaker dog.The farmer said, “Dear, you don ’t want the puppy. He will never be able to run and 8 with you like these other dogs woul d .”Hearing that, the little boy rolled up(卷起) one leg of his trousers and revealed(露出) a steel brace(钢支架) and a specially-made shoe, “You see, sir.

The horror film is based on the book Coraline by British author Nell Gaiman. Kids should probably watch this movie with adults.In the film, a young girl named Coraline Jones has just moved into her new home at the Pink Pan Palace Apartments. This might sound fun, but Coraline ’s parents are boring. They hate mud and don ’t let her play in the garden, they cook terrible food and worst of all, they don ’t talk to Coraline often because they are busy working.However, things begins to change after Coraline gets a doll. She finds a small hidden door and a tunnel leading her to a new world.Everything is perfect there-her parents are funny and they buy her everything she wants. Coraline is happy there, but one thing disturbs her-all the people there have buttons for eyes. One day, Coraline is asked if she wants to put buttons into her own eyes so she can stay in this wonderful world forever. While she is thinking about this, she discovers something terrible. She has to do something to save her family.Coraline tells an amazing story. It taught me a great lesson- be careful what you wish for. I personally didn ’t think it was that scary, although some people might. This film was made using stop-motion animation (定格动画), which means the characters were made out of clay models (黏土模型). Their motion was filmed one frame (画面)at a time. It must have been hard to shoot (拍摄)this movie. 14.The author suggests kids should watch Coraline with adults because.A.they may feel boredB.the movie is scaryC.kids aren ’t allowed to watch it aloneD.it is interesting to both kids and adults15.The underlined word “disturbs ”here probably means in English. A.happensB. touchesC. troublesD. moves16.Which of the following statements about the film is not mentioned in the passage ?A.the author of the bookB.the introduction of the filmC.the main characters of the filmD.the director of the film17.From the last paragraph, we can learn A.the film cost a great deal of money B.the film was popular all over the world C.only kids like to see the film D.the film was hard to shoot.CTabi Kaeru, or “travel frog ” which was developed by Japanese company Hit- Point, is mostly a gameabout waiting for animals . You play a house-sitter or a friend to a little frog that likes to go on trips around Japan. You ’ll pack his backpack with a box of lunch, a lucky charm(幸运符), and some travel equipments and then send him off. While he has gone, you can harvest cloves(三叶草) in his garden and use them to buy food and other items to help the frog in its travels around the world. The items you send with him decide where hegoes, what pictures he sends back, and what souvenirs(纪念品) he brings with him. If for some reason you think he left without food in his backpack, then you ’ll need to lure(吸引) him by placing food on his desk,Many people have praised the game for its slow pace, saying it ’s the trend(趋势) among younger generations in China to pursue “Zenlike ”(佛系) activities. “Everything is unexpected in life, just like the game. Wherever I launch the game, I don ’t know whether the frog is at home, reading, eating or writing l e tters,” Yuan Linghuan, a 25-year-old postgraduate student of Tongji University in Shanghai, said. She thinks the design of the game is cute, and it requires no skills in fighting, which is good for female players. “It ’s not a game that you will get obsessed with(沉迷), as there is no ranking list among p layers,” Yuan added, “ All you have to do is to open the app to see if your frog is at home or its journey, and it ’s not necessary to spend a lot of money to equip the frog for his travels, which differs from other role-playing games. I feel like I ’m the mother of the frog in the game. It ’s really interesting for a single girl like me, and raising the frog is a way of relieving(缓解) stress,”she said.18.Which of the following statements about “travel frog ” is correct? A.It ’s a game invented by the company Tabi Kaeru. B.The frog in the game likes to travel around the world.C.Few people like the game because it ’s not interesting.D.You don ’t have to spend much money on the frog in the game. 19.Yuan Linhuan likes “travel frog ” game because of .A.cute designB. slow paceC. unexpected featureD. all of the above.20.People need to do the following things for the frog EXCEPT .A.to prepare lunch and a lucky charm for himB.to harvest cloves in his garden and buy foodC.to decide which places the frog should go toD.to buy other items the frog needs in its travels 21 What do the student ’s words imply(暗含)? A.Many people like games which need no skills.B.People will easily be addicted(上瘾) to games with ranking list.C.She chooses “travel frog ” only because she is under pressure.D.Other role-playing games c ost less than “travel frog ”. DChinese people are eating too much salt. On average, people in China eat about 10.5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams recommended (建议)by Chinese Dietary Guidelines.purpos e play why as keephoweverdesign perfecttruelowChina now has one of the highest salt intakes in the world. To fix this, China issued the first salt reduction guide for its food industry on April 18, People’s Daily reported.If the guide is followed properly, the average salt intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The guide calls for food companies to lower the salt content in their products by improving their production techniques and adjusting flavors.The salt we take in mainly comes from processed (加工的)food. For example, a 104-gram can of Lay’s classic potato chips contains about 0.66 grams of salt, which accounts for over 10 percent of the recommended daily salt intake. A 100-gram bag of Kang Shi Fu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt.A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes(中风), the Xinhua News reported.Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study by the Monell Chemical Senses Center in the United States found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt 三、阅读下面对话,从方框中选择适当的句子补全对话(其中有两项是多余选项)A: Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get to Washington Street?B: 26A: Okay. Where is Jackson Avenue?-B: One block east from here. After you get there, go north until you see s red light.

This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C.to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works areright-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s tw o hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their m ain brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with. Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.1.What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?A.The art began from 1,500 B.C.B.The works of art ended in the 1950s.C.Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.D.Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.2.How many people in the world are left-handed now?A.About 10%-15%.

If the students break the rules, they will get punishment(惩罚), too.On the first day of a new term, 128 students were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether l, 200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster Theresa Mayerik said it was the worst new term she had seen.At Morton High School, students' favorite clothing such as baggy(宽大)trousers, low-necked and tank tops(紧身短背心)are not allowed in classroom. Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear, but the headmaster doesn't think so. "I'm supportive if half the students were sent home because 99% will get the message that our school are for education." "Freedom" doesn't mean "free of restrictions(约束)".That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the U.S.A or in China.1.Many Chinese students think that _______________.A.American students are very free at schoolB.American students are not so clever as themC.American students don't love their school at allD.American students obey their school rules2.128 Students of Morton High School were sent home for___________.A.not finishing their homework B.being late for schoolC.not wearing the right clothes D.not cleaning the classroom3.Some students in Morton High School think that they have the right to __________.A.decide when to go to school B.choose what to wearC.eat and drink in class D.do what they want4.What does the underlined word "supportive" mean in Chinese?A.高兴的B.支持的C.害怕的D.难过的5.What's the writer's attitude to the school dress rule?A.Agree.

If you have a mobile phone, you can download many things such as Sina Weibo, QQ and WeC hat. “I love to check my friends’ updates (更新). I also enjoy news and humor shared on social media,” said Wang Wei, 14, from a middle school in Shenzhen. While enjoying these, Wang distances himself from real life. “I love playing the plane-shooting game o n WeChat, but have no interest in playing chess with my classmates,” said Wang.Deng Yunyun, 14, from Xuhui Middle School in Shanghai, said that social media has influenced their normal life. Last month, his school held a basketball match, and a student hurt his leg. Instead of giving him some help, students were busy with updating WeChat blogs about the accident. “I think they need to learn to balance their real and online lives, and what worries parents and teachers a lot is safety.” said Deng.“Many students are happy to tell their interests and personal information to their social media ‘friends’. And this could bring them danger,” said Miss Wang, a teacher from a Shenzhen middle school. “For example, the use of WeChat’s shake-shake allows users to connect to other users nearby. Also police warn about the risks of making friends in this way.”“Be careful. Do not use the locating function (定位功能) at any moment, do not give your name, and do not post the photos of your community,” said Wang.1.According to the passage, the following separate the students from the real life EXCEPT ________.A.reading news shared on social mediaB.playing some kinds of games on WeChatC.being busy with updating WeChat blogsD.staying at home to watch TV programs2.Why did nobody offer help when a student hurt his leg?A.Because his classmates were busy sharing their updates.B.Because his classmates didn’t regard him as their friend.C.Because he didn’t belong to their social media “circles”.D.Because there were few students there at that moment.3.The underlined word “this” in the fourth paragraph refers to ________.A.the use of WeChat’s shake-shakeB.having no interest in playing chess with friendsC.paying too much attention to their social media “circles”D.sharing personal information with their social media ‘friends’4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The use of WeChat’s shake-shake adds risks of making friends online.B.Warn students not to use WeChat’s locating function in case of danger.C.WeChat separates students from real life and also may bring them danger.D.Joining social media “circles” is more important than making friends in real life.E17、 A dragonfly, only an inch and a half long, appears to be animal world's best long distance travelerflying thousands of miles overoceans as it moves from continent to continent----- according to a newly published research.Biologists who lead the study say the evidence is in the genes. They found that populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala flavescens, in Texas, eastern Canada, Japan, Korea, India, and South America, have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation. Obviously these dragonflies are traveling distances that are quite long for their small size, breeding with each other, and creating a common gene pool.But how do dragonflies from different continents manage to meet and breed? Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved. For example, they increased surface areas on their wings that enable them to use the wind to carry them.Dragonflies, in fact, have already been found crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia to Africa. "They are following the weather," says Daniel Troast. "They're going from India where it's dry season to Africa where it's wet season, and they do it once a y ear.”Wetness is important for Pantala, and that is why they would take such a dangerous trip. Though many will die on the route, as long as enough make it, the species survives. For the moment, the details of this wonderfulinsect trip are an educated best guess. Much more work is needed to be done. Ware and Troast hope thatscientists can work on figuring out those routes.1.What shows Pantala flavescens are the world’s longest-distance flyers?A.Scientists have recorded the dragonfly across the world.B.The same dragonfly was found both in Asia and America.C.There are many Pantala flavescens in different continents.D.Pantala fiavescens in different continents have similar genes.2.What may help Pantala flavescens fly over so long distance?A.Their special body shape. B.Their special and strong wings.C.Their small and light body. D.Their strong sense of direction.3.What is necessary for Pantala flavescens to breed?A.Wet weather. B.Warm places. C.Dry environment. D.Enough sunshine.4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Scientists have found the details of the trip.B.Dragonflies leave India because of the dry season.C.Dragonflies can hardly survive after such a dangerous trip.D.The dragonfly is animal world's best short distance traveler.F18、Meyer has been crazy about writing since she was young.

She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the next morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the moneythey had.Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet.That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that’s not all—thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years.All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing—returning something that did not belong to him.( )6.When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy her diamond ring?A.On February 9th, 2013.B.On February 10th, 2013.C.On February 18th, 2013.D.On February 22nd 2013.
