（A）At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断)with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, th e doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’tI the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it wasquite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”21. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because.A. He was new to the classB.He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take the task home22. What was Mrs.Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging23. What is the main idea of the passage?A.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.( B )China’s new term,tuhao,may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary.The word caug ht the attention of the dictionary’s editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words.“If its influence continues,it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,”said Julie Kleeman,project manager with the editing team.In Chinese tu means uncouth(粗鲁的) and hao means rich.It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s countryside.The word became more popular with the launch of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone,which is loved by Chi na’s r ich people.The color became known as “tuhao gold”.The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.Kleeman also mentioned other Chinese word—dama, which means middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal in May when thousandsof Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market between April and Julywhen the gold prices had dropped.People can have an intuitive(直觉的)grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin,Kleeman said,adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,”she said.Som e of them are:guanxi,which means “connection”;taikonaut,a mix of taikong,meaning outer space,and astronaut.The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive.The online version is also renewed every three months.“I t at least broke our old rules.It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.24.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A.Dama and tuhao have made it into Oxford English Dictionary.B.Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBC’s recent programs.C.Tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.D.John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.25.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Give orders to others.B.Get ready to help others.C.Go on a diet.D.Put on weight.26.Tuhao became more popular partly because______________.A.it is very likely to appear in Oxford English DictionaryB.it is often used by the online communityC.people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaningD.Apple launched a new gold-colored iPhone27. What’s the similarity between “tuhhao” and “dama”?A.Both take new meanings.B.Both were created in British.C.Both will be uploaded in the next dictionary versionbefore the official website.D.They have the same meaning.( C )The China Daily newspaper group is looking for English-language senior business editors,senior copy editors,copy editors and graphic designers to strengthen its international team.We offer a competitive salary package,accommodation with furniture paid for 90 percent medicalreimbursement(报销),a seven-day paid leave,eleven-day public holidays and a return ticket to the country of residence.Senior Business EditorYou must: (1)assist the business editor in setting goals and working on achieving them; (2)bean excellent team person who can generate ideas and think creatively and be able to rewrite articles totally if needed; (3)ideally have been working or have worked in a position of responsibility and understand what leadership intends; (4)have had at least five years’ editing experience working on editing The Business Desk and be familiar with industry software.Senior Copy EditorYou must: (1)work on shifts in The Business Desk and usually have the last word before the page is sent to print; (2)edit or rewrite copies and give smart headlines and captions(说明文字); (3)have had at least two years’editing experience working on editing desks and be familiar with industry software.

AThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that his buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1. According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buythe product.A. the pleasing color of the packageB. the special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the packageD. the belief in the product2. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.A. bring excitement to the consumersB. attract the consumers’ attentionC. catch the eye movement of the consumersD. produce a happy and peaceful feeling3. “And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.A. starting to notice the importance of new foodB. enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC. beginning to like green vegetablesD. paying more attention to their health4. It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A. vegetable dishB. healthy juiceC. iced drinkD. red vegetableBLying within, the inner London Borough of Southwark, this hugely improved non-selective Secondary Academy School is looking to recruit (招募) and appoint a talented Science Teacher in April 2016 or sooner.POSITION：Science Teacher | KS3 —5| All Science specialists welcomeDEPARTMENT：Popular & Ambitious Science DepartmentLOCATION：Borough of Southwark — Zone 2 — Inner LondonPERSON：Qualified Science Teacher required —experience in UK or overseas trained START DATE：April 2016 or sooner — full time & permanent contract on offer SALARY：Inner London Pay Scale —£29,270 ～£37,862 a yearPERSON REQUIREMENT：All applicants will need to be suitably skilled, trained and qualified to be considered for this Science Teacher position.

The transport system is convenient.COn April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreadingagainst the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.8. What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?A. He was involved in a car crash.B. He was stuck in Iceland’s airport.C. He witnessed a volcanic eruption.D. He was badly injured on a bike ride.9. Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?A. Economy was cost globally by the eruption.B. Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily.C. Most of the world’s planes were held up.D. The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted10. Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?A. It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.B. It symbolized the accident that changed his life.C. It told us to make the most of given situation.D. It encouraged him to know more about himself11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Escape from VolcanoesB. Inspiration from DisastersC. Love for Earth ScienceD. Attitude towards NatureDBillboard Music Awards of the Year of 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.When Taylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Award, among which Top Country Album for the five-time platinum（白金）selling Speak Now, her third album was released that year.“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.” said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “An d at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere.”Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You belong with me and White Horse.Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the Speak。

He was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk a nd had difficulty learning to read. When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction — the north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Albert did not like school. The German schools of that time we re not pleasant. Students could not ask questions. Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.In 1905, Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine. They included one of the most i mportant scientific documents in history. It explained what ca me to be called his “Special Theory of Relativity”.

Songs from Elvis Presley to Ricky M artin, from the Beatles to Eminem and from Natalie Cole to Bri tney Spears have all been enjoyed by people around the worl d, even for people who don’t speak English, and even for peo ple who don’t speak English.From my experience, some people listen to English songs for 20-30 years but still don’t achieve any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be their main learning metho d, but most of them fail.Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabulary, but most of t hese words are unusual ones that you don’t use in everyday li fe. You won’t learn the sentence “It is a difficult project. We re ally need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. All you will hear are love, passion, infection, hate and blue, for the fee ling, not the color.People like using English songs to practice English skills beca use it’s easy and enjoyable. They think that sitting in the car li stening to English songs day after day will improve their Engli sh skills. It actually will not.You will definitely not improve your listening skills because no rmal people don’t speak with a tune. People don’t talk like Emi nem’s songs. You can’t get yourself familiar with English pron unciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The w ords that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that y ou will hear in your everyday life. They can even confuse you more about how English is pronounced.I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and liste n to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of cours e, you can consume it for fun but not with the aim of improvin g your English skills. Having good English skills is not that eas y. Remember you should work hard to improve your English s tep by step.12.
