Holker Garden FestivalC. National Garden Day.D. Winter MarketBCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port on river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications andtrade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896 Dawson Canada was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897 and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City - its present population is 762.24. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.26. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CWhile famous foreign, architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize -which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture- -on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Department at the China Academy of Art(CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus （校园）of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves （曲线）of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creationattracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed, “ he said.“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, “he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are," said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined, with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.28. Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects areA. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects29. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large sizeC. Its unique style.D. Its diverse functions.30. What made Wang's architectural design a success？A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The balance of East and WestC. The use of popular techniquesD. The harmony of old and new.31. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world.B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities.D. Recreate them in practice.DAdults understand what if feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few large objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金) (our kindergarten is serious about becoming a doctor).For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions. How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention andI had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.32. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. The more, the better.B. Enough is enough.C. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.33. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A. Saving up for her holiday.B. Raising money for a poor girl.C. Adding the money to her fund.D. Giving the money to a sick mother.34. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A. To try out an idea.B. To show a parent’s love.C. To train his attention.D. To help him start a hobby,.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Take it or Leave it.B. A Lesson from Kids.C. Live More with Less.D. The Pleasure of Giving.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Infants and toddlers（婴幼儿）of Hispanic mothers were more likely to drink coffee than those of non-Hispanic mothers, and girls were more likely than boys to drink coffee, according to the study.“Our results show that many infants and toddlers in Boston — and perhaps in the US — are being given coffee and that this could be associated with cultural practices,” principal researcher Anne Mere wood, director of the Breastfeeding Center at Boston Medical Center, saidChildren in other countries, such as Australia, Cambodia and Ethiopia, sometimes drink coffee, the researchers noted They added that other studies have shown that it is not uncommon for children raised in Hispanic cultures to start drinking coffee at younger ages.There has been little research into coffee consumption by infants, but one study did show that 2-year-olds who drank coffee or tea between meals or at bedtimes are likely to be overweight in kindergarten, the study authors saidOther studies have suggested that caffeine consumption by children is associated with depression> sleep problems and obesity, according to the researchers.21.

On the other side, good habits, such as eating more healthfully or exercising regularly, never seem to stick. As a result, most people throw up their hands and surrender.But now, a book, Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives by best-selling author Gretchen Rubin, offers some useful solutions.Rubin, who became interested in habits during her research on happiness, which resulted in two popular books, The Happiness Project（2009） and Happier at Home （20J2）, found that our inability to master unwanted behaviors was a major downer（令人沮丧的因素）. So, after guiding millions of readers down the path of true contentedness, Rubin turned her researching skills toward habits.Change is possible if we do some soul searching and identify how we respond to expectations. And just about everybody falls into one of four personality categories: Questioners, Obligers, Rebels and Upholders.Rubin believes herself to be a classic Upholder, someone who forms habits relatively easily because she responds well to both other people’s deadlines and her own. As to the other types, Questioners will only form a habit if it makes sense to them; Obligers, work hard to meet other people’s expectations but often let themselves down. And Rebels resent（反感）habits.“Think about the habit that you want to form and then think： What is everything I could do to set myself up for success?” Says Rubin. For example, if you want toexercise more and you are an Obliger, call your friend who lives across the street and meet at 6: 30 every morning for a walk.One common pitfall（陷讲）, says Rubin» especially when it comes to changing your diet, is lack of clarity. “You cannot make a habit out of eating more healthfully.” She says. Instead, y our habit should be something like: “I am going to pack a lunch every day and bring it to work instead of eating out.”As for exercise, Rubin recommends a strategy called pairing — coupling two activities, one that you need or want to do and one that you d on’t particularly want to do. Rubin, for example, only allows herself to read magazines while on fitness equipment at the gym.24.

To blame those who are not accurate in expressing.C. To provide more detailed information to others.D. To advise us to be more specific in forming good habits.27. What is pairing strategy recommended by Rubin?A. An activity that must be done in pairs.B. Do one thing you are in favor of with one thing that you dislike.C. An activity in which you match something.D. Do two things you are interested in at the same time.CAt the age of forty-five> my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people, I being one of them.My once secure future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income. My motto has always been “Change good; change is progress”, but when it affected my livelihood, I had to change it to “accept the change and make the most of it.” From the beginning, I chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome good chance. I refused to become sorry；instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.Having a positive attitude made all the difference the way I formed the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my job in the bank, but now it was a personal goal I was eager to achieve. With a lot of determination, I went to the evening classes and became an adult student. During this time, I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, personal growth never stops.The second thing I did to improve my inner-self was to reevaluate my past life. It used to be full of endless and meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are firmly linked around people I care for.The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life.
