There certainly may be an element of proud boasting: “Admire my little son’s taste in jazz,” etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day ____53____. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience ____54____, connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____55____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____56____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The ____57____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____58____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.” How long will it be until someone ____59____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____60____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.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.The Last Robot-Proof Job in America?You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.A new tech startup is aiming to ____61____ this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called , allows customers across the whole county, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped ____62____, rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company’s C.E.O., said recently, “I can get a fish to Warren Buffett, that’s as fresh as if he’d walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning.”There is one thing, ____63____, that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to ____64____ that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. Accordingto the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is ____65____. For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and ____66____ knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.“____67____ the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history,” Spindler told me. He is experienced in the ____68____ business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. “They thought selling fish on the Internet was ____69____.” DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers (鱼贩). “They didn’t see how it could possibly work.” Five years ago, DiGregorio didn’t know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they’ve created a human-machine fish-buying operation.By I a.m. each night, the company ____70____ from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. The company’s algorithms (算法) ____71____ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a “learning system,” so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn’t ____72____, it asks, “Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?” All that information is fed back in for next time.Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can’t? DeGregorio showed me his part of the ____73____ process.“I’m assessing a few things,” he said. First,____74____. Fish should have “nice” slime (粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “When fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia.” Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you.” He added.Is he never ____75____ being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. “By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do,” he said, “I’ll be dead.”61. A. maintain B. remedy C. substitute D. recognize62. A. free B. overseas C. separate D. fresh63. A. therefore B. otherwise C. however D. thus64. A. ensure B. propose C. concede D. remind65.

A. concerned about B. eager for C. delighted with D. capable ofSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. 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.(A)For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hittingeach other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a certain, I just say, “No thanks, I’m amusic,””says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”76.Which of the following is true of amusics?A.Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B.They love places where they are likely to hear music.C.They can easily tell who different songs apart.D.Their situation is well understood by musicians.77.According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who________.A.dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. Has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system78.In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that________.A.her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB.she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC.her problem could be easily explainedD.she were able to meet other amusics79.What is the passage mainly concerned with?A.Amusics’ strange behaviorsB. some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structureD. Identification and treatment of amusics.(B)How to place an Order of Custom Jeans▶Select the Fabric & Styles→Fabrics---Select the Fabric from our large collection of Denim Fabric Samples→Special Wash---Select your favorite special wash treatment to make your jeans look stylish→Thread Color---Select the thread color you want.

But that essential ingredient is no longer so easy for marine life to obtain, several new studies reveal.In the past decade ocean oxygen levels have taken a dive--an alarming trend that is linked to climate change, says Andreas Oschlies, an oceanographer at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Germany, whose team tracks ocean oxygen levels worldwide. “We were surprised by the intensity of the changes we saw, how rapidly oxygen is going down in the ocean and how large the effects on marine ecosystems are.” he says. It is no surprise to scientists that warming oceans are losing oxygen, but the scale of the drop calls for urgent attention. Oxygen levels in some tropical regions have dropped by an astonishing 40 percent in the last 50 years, some recent studies reveal. Levels have dropped less significantly elsewhere, with an average loss of 2 percent globally.A warming ocean losses oxygen for two reasons. First, the warmer a liquid becomes, the less gas it can hold. That is why carbonated drinks go flat faster when left in the sun. Second, as polar sea ice melts, it forms a layer of water above colder, more salty sea waters. This process creates a sort of lid that can keep currents from mixing surface water down to deeper depths. And because all oxygen enters the surface, less mixing means less of it at depth.Ocean animals, large and small, however, respond to even slight changes in oxygen by seeking refuge in higher oxygen zones or by adjusting behavior, Oschlies and others in his field have found. These adjustments can expose animalsto new predators or force them into food-scarce regions. Climate change already poses serious problems for marine life, such as ocean acidification, but deoxygenation is the most pressing issue facing sea animals today,Oschlies says. "they all have to breathe.”Aside from food web Problems, animals face various other physiological challenges as their bodies adjust to lower oxygen levels. Chinese shrimp(虾) move their tails less vigorously to preserve energy in lower oxygen environments. Some creatures, such as jellyfishes, are more tolerant of low oxygen than others are. But all animals will feel the impact of deoxygenation because they all have evolved their oxygen capacity for a reason, says Oschlies."Any drop in oxygen is going to damage survivability and performance, "he says.83. According to the first two paragraphs, what worries scientists most?A. The worsening deoxygenation in the warming oceanB. The survival of predator and various marine animalsC. The alarmingly changeable oxygen levels in the oceanD. The lack of attention to the warming of tropical oceans.84. Which of the following is a reason for the oxygen loss in the ocean?A. Polar ice melting consumes much oxygen in the ocean.B. Global warming reduces the amount of oxygen in the air.C. The surface polar ice water prevents oxygen going downD. Salty water holds less gas in the increasingly warmer ocean85. What can be inferred from the passageA. Ocean deoxygenation changes some animals' natural territories.B. Ocean acidification is more serious a problem than deoxygenation.C. Not all ocean animals are bothered by the decreasing oxygen levels.D. Some animals reduce their movements in order to absorb more oxygen86. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Oxygen Levels of Marine LifeB. Ocean Warming Affects Food WebC. The Survivability of Ocean AnimalsD. The Ocean Is Running Out of BreathSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once.The war on smoking, now five decades old and counting, is one of the nation's greatest public health success stories – but not for everyoneAs a whole, the country has made amazing progress. In 1964,four in ten teens in the Us smoked; today fewer than two in ten do.___________87_______________.Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General s Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseaseswas major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking movement that shifted the nation’s attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool.Today, many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces, Millions of lives have been saved.The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws___88____. If you can stop them from smoking, you’ve won the war. Few people start smoking after turning eighteen. _____89_______.The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of$2. 42 on every pack -three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low(60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York's, Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor._____90__________. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3, 000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not wonIV.

The usual response to the annual flu is not enough to fight against the risks we currently face,____91___(say) nothing of preparing us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree ____92__(come) in the future. Yet we have an annual vaccine, and everyone _______93____(qualify) should get it without question. The reality, however, is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines. And the flu vaccines we have are only 60% effective in the best years and 10% effective in the worst years. We urgently need a much ____94___(effective) flu vaccine.In the U. S alone, seasonal flu can cause up to 36 million infections, three-quarters of a million hospitalizations and 56,000 deaths. We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves, our loved ____95____ and our communitiesWhy not? We haven't been hit by _____96____ truly destructive widespread disease in a long time. So as individuals, we let down our guard as our leaders quickly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.The risk of continued foot dragging is huge. In a severe widespread disease, the U.S. health care system could be defeated in just weeks. Millions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.The cost of preventing epidemics is roughly a tenth of ____97___ it costs to cope with them when they hit. In 2012, a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar U.S. commitment ___98____ the development of a universal flu vaccine. Six years later, the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction. 99. headlines about the flu are gone, hospitals are emptied of flu patients, and school and workplace absence rates decline, we go back to business as usual.Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu. They need your quick and decisive support to succeed.

The all-age private Internet club that began as a college student hangout has become the technology industry’s hottest ticket.Facebook, which started out offering simple Web profile pages for users to update personal details and link to their friends, has since late May provided an easy way to enhance profiles with growing menu of 1,400 applications from virtual horoscopes to music video players.Membership has exploded to over 29 million active users, up one million users in just the past week and five million from six weeks ago. It’s adding more than 150,000 member a day, up from its pace of 100,000 six weeks ago, Facebook says.Facebook has become the central way many users keep track of Web sites they use every day.

'Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, 1 whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, 2 do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(怀孕) was an 3 that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child is, it is 4 that the transition($£!£) from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, 5 , few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.It is 6 by some writers that the transition to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to 7 a complete change in daily routine and highly inventive adaptation. On the other hand, the father's role is less 8 and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that 9 numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.1—5 BDBCD 6—10 DDAAB 11—15 ABCCB 16—20 CBBBA Section B1.

If he convince the patient that a piece of ice is a hot iron and he then touches the patient's skin with the ice, a blister (水泡) will develop.

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.( A )Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 57, has found himself at the center of a cultural row since April 22. It all started with a handshake with South Korea’s President Park Geyn-hye, 61, during Gates’ visit to the country. Gates has been accused (指责) of disrespecting (不尊重) Park after he waspictured shaking hands with her with his left hand in his pocket.“Disrespectful handshake or casual (随意的) handshake?” asked South Korea’s largest newspaper, the Kong-A Ilbo. Similarly, the Joongang Ilbo newspaper asked: “Cultural difference or bad manners?”“Perhaps it was his all-American style, but an open jacket with a hand in his pocket? That was way too casual. It was very regretful,” Chung Jin-suk, secretary general at South Korea’s National Assembly, told ABC News.In Asian countries, a one-hand shake is very causal, used only when the other party is a good friend, of the same age or younger age. Using one hand with the other in the pants pocket is considered rude, often an expression of superiority toward the other.This isn’t the first time Gates has broken the country’s social rules. According to AFP, Gates used a similarly casual hand shake in 2008 with Park’s predecessor (前任) Lee Myung-bak. However, a picture from 2001 showed him giving a two-handed shake to then president Kim Dae-jung.Some South Korean media have said that it may have been on purpose, showing his political preferences --- respect for the opposition (反对党) leader Kim but disrespect for the ruling party leaders Lee and Park.“Gates is a casual man who’s not bound (束缚) by customs so he shakes hands in this manner even when meeting heads of international organizations or top political figures (人物),” Dong-A Ilbo quoted an unnamed friend of Gates’ in Seoul as saying.63.What is the article mainly about?A.How to shake hands with people.B.Rules for shaking hands in different countries.C.The recent discussion about handshake manners.D.Gates’ disrespectful behaviour shows his political preferences.64.What does the underlined word “superiority” mean?A. a proud attitudeB.an uncertain feelingC. a positive attitudeD. a feeling of dislike65.We can infer from the article that ____________________.A.South Koreans think that it’s Gates’ right to shake hands how he wants toB.South Koreans think that it’s improper for Gates to give a one-hand shakeC.the author suggests that readers be careful when shaking handsD.it is very common for Asian people to give one-hand shakes( B )To many outside of Asia and the fashion circles, Fan Bingbing is largely unheard of. That is changing with her inclusion in last year’s Vanity Fair’s (《名利场》) Best-Dressed List, and leading the latest Forbes China’s top celebrity list.A superstar in China and arguably the reigning queen of the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, Fan Bingbing is perhaps more famous in America and Europe for her glamorous and risk-taking style than her movies. For example, at the premiere of the movie Moonrise Kingdom, she wore a colorful strapless (无带的) gown with a bird and branch theme that rendered (表现) her like a porcelain vase from the Tang dynasty. Fan Bingbing has a love for fashions that are elegant and conceptual (概念的) at the same time. She has an individual look and she is fearless in her choices.Unlike many of her Hollywood counterparts who wear runway looks exactly like those shown on the catwalk, Fan Bingbing knows how to inject an element of surprise into her ensembles (成套服装), whether it’s through an imaginative turban (头巾) or through her variable hairstyles. In fact, her hairdos change with her every ensemble, going from classic chignon (发髻) at one event to wild and curly at another. She also likes to add a touch of old world Shanghai to a Louis Vuitton (路易威登) ensemble or rock-the-80s look with a Versace (范思哲) dress.She glides from glamorous fashion to unique dressing with ease and confidence, which is why many have likened her ever-changing style to that of Lady Gaga. She has fun with fashion and she is not afraid to take chances, which is why her clothes are often noticed and critiqued by many style blogs, calling her one of the most dynamic (充满活力的) dressers on the red carpet.With the nod from Vanity Fair, we might expect to see more of Fan Bingbing at future red carpet events.66.Outside Asia, Fan Bingbing is mostly famous for ____________________.A.her delivery of speechB.her graceful appearanceC.her glamorous and risk-taking styleD.her outstanding performance in movies67.Which is NOT among the possible ways Fang Bingbing may dress herself on the red carpet?A.By carrying unique bags.B.By using an imaginative turban.C.By combining Chinese elements with Western-style dresses.D.By wearing variable hairstyles that go with her ensembles.68.Why is Fan Bingbing called one of the most dynamic dressers on the red carpet?A.Because she often designs red-carpet dresses by herself.B.Because she offers many other actresses fashion advice.C.Because she is creative about dressing and is willing to try new styles.D.Because she is often the one wearing the strangest dress on the red carpet.69.What influence may be caused by Fan Bingbing’s inclusion in Vanity Fair’s list?A.Her dressing styles may change in the future.B.She may perform in some Hollywood movies.C.She may get more opportunities to perform in new movies.D.S he may wear more glamorous dresses at red carpet events.( C )Brussels is home to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO北约), the European Union and countless priceless works of art. But for promotion, the Belgian capital turns to a tiny peeing boy.The Manneken Pis (“撒尿小童”像), one of Brussels’ most recognizable statues, has been an essential tourist stop for centuries. Its exact origin is unknown but there are several legendsbehind the statue, the most famous being a boy named Julianske urinating on a burning fuse (导火索) and thus saving the city.The 15th-century urinating sculpture is also an icon for locals. “Our symbol is only 61-cm tall and he’s peeing,” said Martha Meeze, a spokeswoman for Visit Brussels, the city’s tourist office. In Brussels, she said, “We don’t take ourselves too seriously.”Now, the statue is getting into marketing. He appears in logos and ads. Replicas of him, once mainly sold around Brussels as corkscrews (红酒开瓶器) and in snow globes, are now also cast in colourful chocolate and as lollipops.When city officials wanted to promote a job-creation plan in 2005, they used ads depicting an office full of Mannekens at computers and in meetings. Another poster showed a construction site bustling with Mannekens in hard hats. Promotions for the annual Brussels Summer Festival include the Mannken playing an electric guitar.Even giant Coca-Cola Co. has gone with the flow. Colourful art on Coke vending machines at Brussels Airport features the iconic boy standing atop the iconic bottle. “Manneken Pis is one of our national symbols,” says a Belgian Coke spokeswoman. She notes that Coke kept the images, installed in 2007, even after it changed worldwide ad campaigns two years later.Brussels doesn’t lack potential icons. It recently renovated the centerpiece of its 1958 World’s Fair, a giant construction of tubes and silver spheres called the Atomium (原子塔). And the EU’s expanding headquarters complex has led some to call Brussels “Europe’s Capital.” But neither means so much to the Belgian public as the Manneken Pis does. “The Mannken Pis is like the Eiffel Tower for Paris,” says Bérengère de Laveleye, of the Brussels City Museum. “It’s just smaller and more fun.”70.Brussels residents see the Manneken Pis as an icon as it ____________________.A.attracts tourists to the Belgian capitalB.has a bunch of legends associated with itC.shows they don’t take themselves too seriouslyD.is a popular image in advertising71.All of the following statements are true about the Manneken Pis except that____________________.A.it was created in the 1400sB.it is now cast in candyC.it has been used to promote the EUD.it means more to the Belgian public than the Atomium72.What does it mean that Coca-Cola Co. has “gone with the flow”?A.It means the company has created a new advertising trend.B.It means the company has featured the Manneken Pis in its ads.C.It means the company has treated the Manneken Pis as a Belgian national symbol.D.It means the company has changed its worldwide ad campaigns.73.The last paragraph may be followed by another that ____________________.A.illustrates how the Manneken Pis is funB.points out problems with using the Manneken Pis in marketingC.suggests ways to promote the Manneken Pis worldwideD.explains the origins of the Manneken Pis( D )Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class --- whether a person is “working class” or “middle class” are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in lifestyles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander (挥霍) the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype (模式化的思想) of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was --- and still is --- inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity ( or the education and training ) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn asmuch, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both lifestyles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes; they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.74.According to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle class?A.Desiring for security.B.Making long-term plans.C.Having vision for the future.D.Saving money.75.The author seems to suggest that the description of ____________________ is closer totruth.A.middle-class ways of spending moneyB.working class ways of spending the weekendC.working class drinking habitsD.middle-class attitudes76.Working class people’s sense of security increased as a result of all the following factorsexcept ____________________.A.better social securityB.more supervisionC.higher self-esteemD.less income disparity77.Which of the following statements is incorrect?A.Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B.The gap between working class and middle class young people is narrowing.C.Difference in income will remain but those in occupation will disappear.D.Middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working class people.IV.

The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central America were the first to grow cocoa beans, in about 1500 BC, and the Mayas were drinking __24__ coca hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe. The word chocolate comes from the Nahuati word xocolati, which means “bitter water”.In 1544, a delegation of Mayan nobles visited Philip of Spain and gave him jars of cocoa as a gift. Cocoa soon became fashionable in Spain and Portugal. The Spanish were the first to add sugar to their cocoa drink. In the 17th century, chocolate was becoming fashionable with the middle-classes, not only as a drink but also as a(n) __25__.By the middle of the century, __26__ chocolate was becoming familiar.

As a matter of fact, many of my ancestors were English: I was born in England and was originally of British nationality. My parents were killed in a car crash when I was a baby, so I was brought up in Denmark by my grandmother and educated in Danish schools so that Danish is really my native language.We arrived in England last February at five o’clock on a Wednesday morning after a rough crossing. Waves were seemed as high as mountains rocked the boat from side to side. We were both sick on the journey and a fine drizzle met us as we got off the boat. To make matter worse, Klaus, my husband, left his camera on the ship; I lost my handbag (which was never been found to this day), and we nearly forgot to tip the taxi-driver, who complained about our luggage and seemed to be in a thoroughly bad temper. Few visitors can have experienced such an unfortunate beginning to their say, and we certainly felt like going straight home again.We stayed for a week in a hotel, and were then lucky enough to find a furnished flat in the suburbs of London. It is not so convenient as our flat in Copenhagen, but it is less expensive than some we saw in advertisements. Klaus is studying at the local Technical College and, in addition, he often attends public lectures at the University of London on as many subjects as possible, chiefly to improve his English. He is a qualified engineer who has been employed for several years in a factory. Our two children have joined us and they are being educated in an English private school. I am working as a part-time nurse in hospital, and I have so much to do that I have almost no leisure time.46.The writer said that Danish is really her native language because ______.A. she is Danish by birthB. her grandmother was DanishC. Danish was the first language she learnedD. she went to school in Denmark47.The word that can best describe the author’s feeling on the journey to England is probably ______.A. excitingB. boringC. unfortunateD. lucky48.From what the writer tells us in the passage we can infer that her two children ______.A. were not with her when she arrived in EnglandB. had been in England for some time when she arrivedC. spoke very good EnglishD. had to help their mother with the house work(B)Ticket valid(有效的)for 1 year from date of issue.Conditions:(1) The company will do its best to carry the passenger and luggage at the times advertised.Timetables may, however, change suddenly and flights be cancelled.(2) Passengers who arrive late and miss their flights will have to buy new tickets.(3) Any damage to luggage must be reported in writing within seven days.(4) If passengers carry more luggage than they are allowed, they must pay extra.(5) Passengers must have with them all the necessary official papers.(6) Passengers must pay their own airport tax.(7) Passengers may carry a small bag with them on to the plane. It must not weigh more than 7kg.It must be put in an overhead locker or on the floor under the seat in front of the passenger.(8) Passengers may not carry any sharp objects on to the aeroplane.(9) Dangerous objects may not be put in luggage. Acids, things which catch fire easily and poisons are not allowed.(10) Passengers must do as the captain orders them.(11) No smoking is allowed anywhere on the aeroplane.(12) Mobile phones and similar pieces of equipment must be switched off.49.Which of these actions is not against the conditions?A.

You can change the dates of travel during a twelve-month period.B. The airline must accept responsibility if a flight does not happen.C. The cost of the ticket does not include airport tax.D. The captain has full authority on his plane51.How much luggage may the passenger take free of charge on this ticket?A. 30kgB. 37kgC. 60kgD. 67kgWant a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient —no matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiologicaldata(生理数据) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes. On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.But there is one problem. Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex(复杂的) medical pictures around the world —CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users. Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.52. The writer chiefly talks about _______.A. the use of telemedicineB. the on-lined doctorsC. medical care and treatmentD. communication improvement53. The basis of remote diagnosis will be _______.A. personal data assistanceB. some words of a patientC. real physiological informationD. medical pictures from the Internet54. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.55. The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that _______.A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical picturesB. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yetC. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needsD. there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical careFill in the blanks with the proper form of words given in brackets.56.Don’t be so rude to the old granny, I’m sure you’ll answer for what you ______ one day. (do)57.Look at these dark clouds. It ______ (rain), how about changing the plan for outing?58.The professor ______ (do) the experiment that means a lot to him all the morning.59.The moving story touched so many people that it deserved ______ (read) hundreds of times.60.His book is said ______ (translate) into Spanish last year.61.Meeting the needs of different people, they ______ (make) better clothes in the past 10 years.62.

It is celebrated(庆祝)in the United States, England, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother’s day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts(礼物)of love to their mothers.Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carn ation(康乃馨),while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother’s Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast(广播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable.”On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother’s Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪恶轰炸). Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her forever.41.

All of the aboveBWhat’s the difference between the British Isles, Britain, the United Kingdom and England?The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other Britain. Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands and it is divided into three parts: Scotlan d, Wales and England.The United Kingdom (UK) is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is made up of Scotland, Wales, and England (i.e. the whole of Britain), and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The rest of Ireland is self-governing(自治的).England is the largest, most populous (人口众多的), and generally speaking, the richest section. English people often use the words “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain”and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh angry. The Scots are very proud of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not consider themselves as England, and have a culture and even a language of their own. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but is soon grew discontented (不满的), and for forty years the “Irish Questio n”was the greatest headache of British Parliament(国会). At last, Ireland d ivided itself into two: Northern Ireland remained loyal(忠诚于) to the Crown(英国王室), and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland.46.

There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season ) s collections. It isextremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy."We try 1o warn people before they come to us about how tough it is."says Lydia Kemeny. The Head of Fashion at St. Martin's School of Art in London. "And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary."This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young peoplespending their time designing pretty dresses.

What my friend had found wasthat his country was no longer in its familiar place and he no longer knew where he was.Our sense of ourselves and our place in the world may not, as my friend's experiencesuggests. come from anything real or actual, for no country is in the middle of the earth,except as a picture in the mind. a map is only a model in which we may set ourselves. itjust helps us to feel that we know where we are.( ) 38.

Japanese visitors to Britain find that local maps are not accurateC. maps are really useful since they help us travel from place to placeD. maps give us a comforting sense of position so that we know where we areBHalf-TruthsBe care of those who use the truth to deceive ( 欺骗). When someone tells yousomething that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, hecan create a false impressionFor example, someone might say, I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This Buy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false, but he purposely (故意) omitted important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Dishonest candidates (候选人) in political campaigns often use this strategy. Let's saythat during Governor Smith's last term (任期), her state lost one million jobs and gainedthree million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying,"During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!"?hat's true. Howeveran honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's term, the state had a netgain of two million jobs."Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false claimsso they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might show off, "Nine out of ten doctorsrecommend Yucky pills to cure nose problems."It fails to mention that they only asked tendoctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.His kind of dishonesty happens too often. It's a sad fact. of life, Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.( ) 41. Which statement is TRUE according to the article?A. Whenever telling the truth, people are really lying.B. One can get rich in a flash by Betting lottery tickets.C. All governors help their states.D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.( ) 42.

Trust NobodyCWearing shabby clothes and reaching out a dirty hand towards people, this is thetraditional image of beggars. But nowadays that image has changed in many ways. Beggarscan even look exactly like a white-collar worker.With the development of the Internet, beggars also benefit from new technology. Without standing on the street all day tong, they can just sit at home and click the keyboard-° beggar websites"make the begging business much easier.Just by googling the words beggar and website, dozens of such Chinese forums are found."Please donate 1 yuan; it will help me be rich! —that's a common slogan from many of these begging websites,The layout of these sites is quite similar. There are some funny or sad pictures acrossthe top. of the screen, then a request for donations is classified into three levels 1 yuan, 5yuan and 10 yuan. Just by clicking on these buttons, one can make a kindly donation.People can pay through an online paying system or send money to a bankcard number.These websites also provide lists of those who have donated, but almost all of themhave mostly donated 1 yuan per person, and online stores or other small websites can havea place on the site for a small advertisement after the donation.Actually, such begging websites are not original in China. Online begging firstappeared in the United States. Some individuals opened such websites to relieve theireconomic embarrassment.In 2002, a woman in New York owed about $ 20, 000 to the bank, so she set up abegging website and, what a surprise, she received over $ 13, 000 from netizens whichsolved her problems more or less.In some"professional"begging websites in the United States, the website organizercan even receive many thousands of dollars.

The income from most of the websites found in China seems not so good.Section BDirections Read the follow passage and complete the statements that follow. Write oneword or more in each space.Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still angry at thequestionable referring (提交的) decisions that made their team lose the match. A researchwas sent to study the performance of some top referees (裁判员).The researcher organized experimental matches between four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the matches.Compared to an ordinary match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, aremarkably high number.The researcher then studied the video tapes to study the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials go it right, they were on average 17 meters away from theaction. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows theproper distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be a proper speed. Correct decisions came when the referees weremoving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 · metersper second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the justice of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided.If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less of importance.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TENWORDS.)49.

The top spots on the list of disappointing tourist attractions, according to tourists’ votes, are taken by these sites:Eiffel TowerCalled the “Iron Lady,” the Eiffel Tower is _____41_____ one of the most prominent symbols of France. Built in 1889, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris and the most visited tourist attraction in the world, attracting about seven million tourists a year, 75 percent of them being foreigners.

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.( A )Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 57, has found himself at the center of a cultural row since April 22. It all started with a handshake with South Korea’s President Park Geyn-hye, 61, during Gates’ visit to the country. Gates has been accused (指责) of disrespecting (不尊重) Park after he was pictured shaking hands with her with his left hand in his pocket.“Disrespectful handshake or casual (随意的) handshake?” asked South Korea’s largest newspaper, the Kong-A Ilbo. Similarly, the Joongang Ilbo newspaper asked: “Cultural difference or bad manners?”“Perhaps it was his all-American style, but an open jacket with a hand in his pocket? That was way too casual. It was very regretful,” Chung Jin-suk, secretary general at South Korea’s National Assembly, told ABC News.In Asian countries, a one-hand shake is very causal, used only when the other party is a good friend, of the same age or younger age. Using one hand with the other in the pants pocket is considered rude, often an expression of superiority toward the other.This isn’t the first time Gates has broken the country’s social rules. According to AFP, Gates used a similarly casual hand shake in 2008 with Park’s predecessor (前任) Lee Myung-bak. However, a picture from 2001 showed him giving a two-handed shake to then president Kim Dae-jung.Some South Korean media have said that it may have been on purpose, showing his political preferences --- respect for the opposition (反对党) leader Kim but disrespect for the ruling party leaders Lee and Park.“Gates is a casual man who’s not bound (束缚) by customs so he shakes hands in this manner even when meeting heads of international organizations or top political figures (人物),” Dong-A Ilbo quoted an unnamed friend of Gates’ in Seoul as saying.63.What is the article mainly about?A.How to shake hands with people.B.Rules for shaking hands in different countries.C.The recent discussion about handshake manners.D.Gates’ disrespectful behaviour shows his political preferences.64.What does the underlined word “superiority” mean?A. a proud attitudeB.an uncertain feelingC. a positive attitudeD. a feeling of dislike65.We can infer from the article that ____________________.A.South Koreans think that it’s Gates’ right to shake hands how he wants toB.South Koreans think that it’s improper for Gates to give a one-hand shakeC.the author suggests that readers be careful when shaking handsD.it is very common for Asian people to give one-hand shakes( B )To many outside of Asia and the fashion circles, Fan Bingbing is largely unheard of. That is changing with her inclusion in last year’s Vanity Fair’s (《名利场》) Best-Dressed List, and leading the latest Forbes China’s top celebrity list.A superstar in China and arguably the reigning queen of the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, Fan Bingbing is perhaps more famous in America and Europe for her glamorous and risk-taking style than her movies. For example, at the premiere of the movie Moonrise Kingdom, she wore a colorful strapless (无带的) gown with a bird and branch theme that rendered (表现) her like a porcelain vase from the Tang dynasty. Fan Bingbing has a love for fashions that are elegant and conceptual (概念的) at the same time. She has an individual look and she is fearless in her choices.Unlike many of her Hollywood counterparts who wear runway looks exactly like those shown on the catwalk, Fan Bingbing knows how to inject an element of surprise into her ensembles (成套服装), whether it’s through an imaginative turban (头巾) or through her variable hairstyles. In fact, her hairdos change with her every ensemble, going from classic chignon (发髻) at one event to wild and curly at another. She also likes to add a touch of old world Shanghai to a Louis Vuitton (路易威登) ensemble or rock-the-80s look with a Versace (范思哲) dress.She glides from glamorous fashion to unique dressing with ease and confidence, which is why many have likened her ever-changing style to that of Lady Gaga. She has fun with fashion and she is not afraid to take chances, which is why her clothes are often noticed and critiqued by many style blogs, calling her one of the most dynamic (充满活力的) dressers on the red carpet.With the nod from Vanity Fair, we might expect to see more of Fan Bingbing at future red carpet events.66.Outside Asia, Fan Bingbing is mostly famous for ____________________.A.her delivery of speechB.her graceful appearanceC.her glamorous and risk-taking styleD.her outstanding performance in movies67.Which is NOT among the possible ways Fang Bingbing may dress herself on the red carpet?A.By carrying unique bags.B.By using an imaginative turban.C.By combining Chinese elements with Western-style dresses.D.By wearing variable hairstyles that go with her ensembles.68.Why is Fan Bingbing called one of the most dynamic dressers on the red carpet?A.Because she often designs red-carpet dresses by herself.B.Because she offers many other actresses fashion advice.C.Because she is creative about dressing and is willing to try new styles.D.Because she is often the one wearing the strangest dress on the red carpet.69.What influence may be caused by Fan Bingbing’s inclusion in Vanity Fair’s list?A.Her dressing styles may change in the future.B.She may perform in some Hollywood movies.C.She may get more opportunities to perform in new movies.D.S he may wear more glamorous dresses at red carpet events.( C )Brussels is home to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO北约), the European Union and countless priceless works of art. But for promotion, the Belgian capital turns to a tiny peeing boy.The Manneken Pis (“撒尿小童”像), one of Brussels’ most recognizable statues, has been an essential tourist stop for centuries. Its exact origin is unknown but there are several legends behind the statue, the most famous being a boy named Julianske urinating on a burning fuse (导火索) and thus saving the city.The 15th-century urinating sculpture is also an icon for locals. “Our symbol is only 61-cm tall and he’s peeing,” said Martha Meeze, a spokeswoman for Visit Brussels, the city’s tourist office.In Brussels, she said, “We don’t take ourselves too seriously.”Now, the statue is getting into marketing. He appears in logos and ads. Replicas of him, once mainly sold around Brussels as corkscrews (红酒开瓶器) and in snow globes, are now also cast in colourful chocolate and as lollipops.When city officials wanted to promote a job-creation plan in 2005, they used ads depicting an office full of Mannekens at computers and in meetings. Another poster showed a construction site bustling with Mannekens in hard hats. Promotions for the annual Brussels Summer Festival include the Mannken playing an electric guitar.Even giant Coca-Cola Co. has gone with the flow. Colourful art on Coke vending machines at Brussels Airport features the iconic boy standing atop the iconic bottle. “Manneken Pis is one of our national symbols,” says a Belgian Coke spokeswoman. She notes that Coke kept the images, installed in 2007, even after it changed worldwide ad campaigns two years later.Brussels doesn’t lack potential icons. It recently renovated the centerpiece of its 1958 World’s Fair, a giant construction of tubes and silver spheres called the Atomium (原子塔). And the EU’s expanding headquarters complex has led some to call Brussels “Europe’s Capital.” But neither means so much to the Belgian public as the Manneken Pis does. “The Mannken Pis is like the Eiffel Tower for Paris,” says Bérengère de Laveleye, of the Brussels City Museum. “It’s just smaller and more fun.”70.Brussels residents see the Manneken Pis as an icon as it ____________________.A.attracts tourists to the Belgian capitalB.has a bunch of legends associated with itC.shows they don’t take themselves too seriouslyD.is a popular image in advertising71.All of the following statements are true about the Manneken Pis except that____________________.A.it was created in the 1400sB.it is now cast in candyC.it has been used to promote the EUD.it means more to the Belgian public than the Atomium72.What does it mean that Coca-Cola Co. has “gone with the flow”?A.It means the company has created a new advertising trend.B.It means the company has featured the Manneken Pis in its ads.C.It means the company has treated the Manneken Pis as a Belgian national symbol.D.It means the company has changed its worldwide ad campaigns.73.The last paragraph may be followed by another that ____________________.A.illustrates how the Manneken Pis is funB.points out problems with using the Manneken Pis in marketingC.suggests ways to promote the Manneken Pis worldwideD.explains the origins of the Manneken Pis( D )Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class --- whether a person is “working class” or “middle class” are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in lifestyles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander (挥霍) the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype (模式化的思想) of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was --- and still is --- inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity ( or the education and training ) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both lifestyles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes; they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.74.According to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle class?A.Desiring for security.B.Making long-term plans.C.Having vision for the future.D.Saving money.75.The author seems to suggest that the description of ____________________ is closer totruth.A.middle-class ways of spending moneyB.working class ways of spending the weekendC.working class drinking habitsD.middle-class attitudes76.Working class people’s sense of security increased as a result of all the following factorsexcept ____________________.A.better social securityB.more supervisionC.higher self-esteemD.less income disparity77.Which of the following statements is incorrect?A.Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B.The gap between working class and middle class young people is narrowing.C.Difference in income will remain but those in occupation will disappear.D.Middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working class people.IV.
