They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's tummy.The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital.The little girl gets worse. The doctor tells the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst." Karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they plan a funeral.Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. However, Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. “If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive.” She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. The head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, "Get that kid out of here now! " The mother, the usuallymild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!" Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing."You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray”Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady."You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away "The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr.Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.Funeral plans are scrapped. The next, day — the very next day — the little girl is well enough to go home!NEVER GIVE UP THE ONE WE LOVE!56.

The baby recovered from the dangerous state of coma gradually.60. What could be the best title of the article?A. An unexpected gift.B. A miracle of love.C. A iron-mother.D. A medical success.BWhile you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.THE RESUME --- Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a careercoach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interviews.COVERING LETTERS --- Maybe you’ve set up a few basic styles in advance, but that’s not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.THE WARDROBE(衣橱) --- Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interview.NETWORKING --- Don’t isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.APPLICATION --- A glance at huge online job sites isn’t usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.THE FOLLOW—UP --- It is quite common to apply for job and never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.INTERVIEWS --- If you’ve got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you can’t afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.SUPPORT SYSTEMS --- Finally, recognize that looking for job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with family, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.61. The author’s purpose of writing this text is to _________.A. suggest graduates should find suitable jobsB. tell people how to improve their interview skillsC. teach people how to get ready for an interviewD. give people some tips on searching for jobs62. The underlined word “scrutinize”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.A. checkB. useC. rewriteD. criticize63. Which of the following methods is wrong according to the text?A. You should have your resume read by your friends after finishing it.B. You should create different covering letters for the different jobs you apply for.C. Searching online is the most effective way to look for a job.D. You should wear professional clothes and shoes for the interview.64. What should you do if you don’t receive any calls after lots of interviews?A. Ask a fellow job seeker to help you.B. Carefully review your interviewing skills.C. Rewrite your resume as soon as possible.D. Go to the managers’ offices to find out why.65. It is implied in the text that__________.A. people often pay no attention to writing their resumeB. the interview is the most difficult step for intervieweesC. your social network may help you a lot in your job huntD. a career coach often offers free mock interviews to intervieweesCIn a recent study, researchers have estimated the energy required to produce bottled water, including the energy required to manufacture plastic, make the plastic into bottles, process the water, fill and seal the bottles, transport the bottles, and chill the bottles for use. Combining all the energy input totals for treatment and distribution, researchers found that producing bottled water requires between 5.6 and 10.2 million joules(焦耳) of energy per liter, depending on transportation factors. That's up to 2, 000 times the energy required to produce tap water.To break down the energy requirements, researchers found that producing the plastic bottles and transporting the bottles greatly dominated(控制) the energy input. Although some companies are experimenting with producing lightweight bottles or using recycled materials, the researchers calculated that the manufacturing cost is about 4 million joules of energy per plastic bottle weighing 38 grams, and the cap weighing 2 grams.“Our previous work had suggested that bottled water production was an energy­ intensive process, but we were surprised to see the results, ” the researchers said.Transportation costs vary depending on the distance and mode of transport, and both factors depend on the type of bottled water. There are two main kinds of bottled water in th e US: “ spring water”， which comes from an underground spring; and “purified water”， which is city tap water that has received further treatment. For purified water distributed locally by truck within Los Angeles, the total transportation energy is about 1.4 million joules per liter. In the second situation, spring water shipped from Fiji (such as Fiji Spring Water) across the Pacific to Los Angeles, and then delivered locally by truck, requires about 4 million joules per liter for transportation. For the spring water, the transportation energy equaled (in the case of Fiji) the energy required to produce the bottle.With this data, the researchers hope that future studies will have the ability to make specific estimates for different situations, and possibly find ways to cut energy costs.66. From the first Paragraph we can know that the energy required to ______.A. produce bottled water includes the energy required to drink itB. distribute bottled water includes the energy for producing the bottlesC. distribute bottled water is much smaller than the energy for treating itD. produce bottled water is much smaller than the energy for producing tap water67. To reduce the energy required to produce bottled water, some companies are trying ______.A. to fill tap water into the plastic bottles directlyB. to replace the plastic bottles with metal containersC. to produce lightweight bottles with recycled materialsD. to use bicycles to transport and deliver bottled water locally68. What's Paragraph 4 mainly talking about?A. Treatment of bottled water needs no energy input at all.B. Bottled water production is an energy­ intensive process.C. Transportation of bottled water takes up the most energy input.D. Production of the plastic bottles greatly dominated the energy input.69. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. there are two main kinds of bottled water in the USB. world consumption of bottled water has been increasingC. transportation costs have something to do with the mode of transportD. bottled water produced in Spring is more expensive than purified water70. What's the main purpose of the passage?A. To help consumers themselves make more environmentally sustainable choices.B. To advise the government to take severe measures to stop producing bottled water.C. To urge the consumers to drink tap water instead of bottled water for the sake of the earth.D. To try the best to find ways to produce bottled water cheaply and quickly forthe companies.PART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many of us suffer needlessly when it comes to our well-being or physical health. In most cases this can be attributed to a lack of knowledge about our lifestyle to include our eating habits along with physical activity. If we learn how to keep healthy, our lives would be so much more enjoyable.With so many places to find a fast meal, it is hard to maintain control of your eating habits when coupled with a fast pace lifestyle. We do need food to provide the energy our bodies need, but it is our choices that ultimately help or harm us. From increasingly large burgers to fried chicken, we are attacked with endless quick meals. However, we must give our body what it needs to get healthy and not what our taste buds want.The other key component to keeping healthy is regular exercise. You don’t have to be a gym rat or anything of that nature, but you must develop some type of workout. It can be something as little as walking. Exercising just 30 minutes of your day is all you really need if you want to stay healthy. You can do as little as 3 to 4 days a week or make it a daily routine.Our bodies are not equipped to deal with stress on a routine basis. Constant stress can lead to a rise in blood pressure which increases your chance for a stroke or a heart attack. It also affects the blood cells that aid in fighting infections. These weaken cells leave you helpless against common colds, other illnesses, and medical conditions. Therefore, you should learn to relax yourself by spending sometime every day chatting with your family, playing with your friends or just watching a film or listening to some soft music.There is no big secret on how to keep healthy. If you take care of your body, it will do the same for you in return. It is best that you take every measure possible to lead a healthy lifestyle. Keep healthy by treating your body right.Title: On 71. _________Section B (10 marks )Directions : Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.How we look and how we appear to others probably worry us more when we arc in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life．Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion．Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner．If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment．Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress．A barber today does not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did．The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we arc constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we arc odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion．Take hats for example- In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside．In recent times, President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example．There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion．In the 1920s in Europe and America,short skirts became fashionable．After World War Ⅱ, they dropped to ankle length．Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion．After a few more years, skirts became longer again．Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be．It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else．Within reason, you can dress as you tike or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion．The popularity of jeans and the "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses．81．What do the fashion magazines or TV advertisements claim to bring us? （No more than 2 words）_______________________________________________________________________________ ______82．Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example? （No more than 14 words）_______________________________________________________________________________ ______83．What does the writer try to explain by talking about short skirts? （No more than 8 words）_______________________________________________________________________________ _______84．Why are jeans so popular according to the writer? （No more than 10 words）_______________________________________________________________________________ _______Section C(25 marks)Direction: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.最近，“光盘行动”在社会上引起很大反响。

The moment I reached his house, I found the staircases of his building were not so good and his home was not painted very well. I couldn’t 36 in words but it was not even the type of house in which a typical middle-class Indian family lives.The greatest things I did find there were his parents. We sat on the ground for lunch because they didn’t have a dining 37 . His mother served us very delicious food, smiled throughout and showed care for the 38 lunch session. I can never forget that.His father worked as a normal 39 and I wondered if he earned enough money to support their two sons. While we were taking lunch, his father returned home to meet us. When he entered their home, his hands were dark black and his clothes were very dirty. My friend had no 40 about his father and made the introductions.As soon as his father came in, my friend asked me if I wanted “Papad”（a typical Indian food）to eat. Before I could say anything, the father very gently and kindly 41 it for me, after going through many staircases even though he was looking 42 .Today, my friend is a leader in a big company.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?”she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic(恐慌) in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.56. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.B. The recorder was impatient and rude.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.57. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. curiousB. puzzledC. Indifferent（冷漠的）D. interested58. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A. calmB. panic-strickenC. confidentD. cool59. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she admire d the author’s research work in the lab.C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.60. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.BThis morning, a Virgin Atlantic 747 Jumbo Jet became the first commercial airplane to fly on biofuel. The short flight from London to Amsterdam used a blend of 20% babassu （棕榈）oil mixed with 80% conventional jet fuel.What was really exciting about the flight was the fact that the engine did not have to be altered in any way for the biofuel to work. While this is a great initial step in trying to reduce CO2(carbon-dioxide) emissions（排放）from airplanes, there are a lot of hurdles（障碍）that still need to be overcome.First and foremost, unlike the normal fuel used to run airplanes（known as Jet A）, biofuel freezes at high altitudes. Also, Jet ‘A’ fuel burns consistently (at the same pace), which means it provides a safe and reliable fuel for long flights – engineers are not sure if biofuel will be able to do the same.The biggest hurdle to a full biofuel switch is our ability to be able to grow enough crops that can be converted to biofuel. There are two concerns that scientists have in this matter – the first is that the land to grow the extra crops will come from clearing more of our forests and the second is that since it competes with what we eat, the price of food will go up.However, Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, envisions that if biofuel starts to replace oil on a greater basis, it will be manufactured from algae（藻类）produced in sewage treatment plants, not from food sources.Birgin Airlines is not the only one trying to look for alternative fuel sources. Earlier this year, an Airbus A380 used another alternative fuel－a man-made mix of gas-to-liquid, in one of its four engines. The flight was tested by Rolls Royce (manufacturer of jet engines), in partnership with Shell (an oil company). Rolls Royce is also working with Air New Zealand on a similar project.While a complete switch to alternative fuel may take years, it is very encouraging to see airlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers all coming together to try to make it happen!61．Why does Virgin Airlines try to replace normal fuel with biofuel?A．To cut down the flight cost of the company. B．To remove some hurdles for the biofuel to work.C．To reduce CO2 emissions from airplanes. D．To test plane engines on biofuel. 62．Which is NOT true for a full biofuel switch of airplanes?A．Biofuel cannot run for long flights. B．Biofuel cannot work at high altitudes.C．Man has not enough land to grow extra crops for biofuel.D．It’s not easy for sewage treatment plants to manufacture biofuel.63．One of the hurdles to be overcome for a full biofuel switch is to .A．alter the engine for airplanes B．make biofuel burn consistently C．open more land to grow more crops D．develop sewage treatment plants 64．We can infer from the last paragraph that .A．there is a long way to go for a complete switch to alternative fuelB．it won’t be long before alternative fuel comes into useC．airlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers are reliableD．alternative fuel has a bright future65．Which of the following can best serves as the title of this passage?A．Biofuel-Alternative Fuel Sources. B．The First Commercial Flight Powered by Biofuel.C．How to Reduce CO2Emissions from Airplanes. D．Vigin Airlines Trying to Alter Fuel Sources.CThis month, at the 2018 graduation ceremonies for Mills College, 94-year-oldHazel Soares will become a college graduate, 78 years after her high school graduation from then-Roosevelt High School in East Oakland, who is believed to be the second-oldest student in the world to ever graduate from a college.Soares has been married twice, raised six kids and seen two economic depressions,15 US presidents and two world wars. She's been a working single mother, a nurse,a concert event organizer and an art lover. She has more than 40 grandchildren.Born in Richmond on June 21, 1915, Soares traces her interest in art history back to age 11 and the impression made on her the first time she saw Michelangelo's "David" in the Book of Knowledge. In 1996, at age 80, she traveled to Florence, Italy, to see the sculpture for herself.But setting records isn't what motivated Soares to renew her lifelong pursuit for education when she enrolled at Chabot Community College in the mid-1980s and settled on an art history major in Mills College in 2018. "I've always had a basic curiosity about how to do things, whether it is a (cooking) recipe or identifying pieces of art in historical context," she said.Then she plans to start looking for a job where she can use the skills and knowledge she acquired at the prestigious, private women's undergraduate college. "I'd like to be a lecturer in a museum," Soares said. Soares still drives and she is as healthy as a horse.Soares just might qualify as the second-oldest student in the world to ever earn a college degree. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Nola Ochs, 95, is the oldest person to ever graduate from college.66.We can infer that Soares is anything but (绝不是) ______.A. a middle school student 80 years agoB. a grandmother of 40C.an organizer of concertD.a soldier experiencing two world wars67.What did Soares become interested in at the age of 11?A. History.B. Sculpture and painting.C. The Book of Knowledge.D. Traveling to Florence, Italy.68.We can know from the fourth paragraph______.A. Soares studied art history for about 5 years in collegeB. Soares studied in Chabot Community College for about 5 yearsC. Soares has a basic knowledge about a (cooking) recipeD. Setting records motivated Soares to renew her lifelong pursuit for education69. “The prestigious, private women's undergraduate college” refers to __________.A. Roosevelt High SchoolB. Richmond CollegeC. Mills CollegeD. Chabot Community College70. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.nobody receiving college’s degree can be older than 95B. Soares just might break one of the Guinness World RecordsC.nobody is too old to be a college studentD. nobody too old is to be a college studentPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours yousleep. However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would makeit much easier to learn to improve your focus.Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercisesyou can do to improve your focus.Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone. Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve.Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing. This is when you picture yourselfin a desired situation, and then you work around your picture. Actors do this a lotto block out laughter, noise, or other distractions. An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert. Tryto play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen. This can actually be a lot of fun, and you learn how to improve your focusby concentrating on one thing only.If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy. Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, anotherfor the afternoon, and finally, another list for the evening. Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around.For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, do n’t bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive. Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax beforethe guests arrive. Planning helps you focus. It will also not stress you out.Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks. If children have rest and lunchas their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping fora drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV. Of course, if you are working in an office, youare allowed coffee breaks. Use this time wisely. Don’t spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office. Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done. Your breaks should be as quiet as possible. Read a book, take a walk, or visit a daycare.Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest.The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds.Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day. A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situationto be in. Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it ona daily basis. Improving your focus also mean knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well.Focus is important but difficult to improve.71 to improve your focus:I. Staring at picture.◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsII· 73 .◆.Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74 III. 75 .◆.Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done, as well asarranging time for relaxationⅣ. Taking breaks.◆.Wisely using ti me to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; justresting your brain;78 for easily losing focus.◆. Having too much on minds◆. 79 all dayConclusion: Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.What is red but green， open but closed and old but new？ Answer：London’s beautiful new double­deckers buses. The traditional red double­deckers are a symbol of London. This was made certain in 2018 when one bus made the longer­than­usual trip to Beijing to collect a very special passenger： the Olympic Flame.Now a new bus design has been impressing Londoners. The new bus uses more green technology and has an open platform， making sure people get on and get off easily. It also has a special asymmetric(不对称的) design for the front end， which gives it a futuristic look.Besides these the design is not all new. Its outside can remind yo u of London’s faithful old double­decker， the Routemaster(马路大师). In December 2018 the original Routemaster was stopped from offering general service as a result of environmental reasons， but it can still be seen on two routes in London.In July 2018 a competition was organized by the London Mayor， Boris Johnson，to design a new Routemaster bus for the capital. Several designers together won the ￡25,000 prize. The new double­deckers， which have three doors to speed up boarding，are expected to be in service in 2018.Mr. Johnson said：“This new part of our transport system is not only beautiful，but also has a green heart...” He expects cities around the globe to be “beside themselves with envy” for what he described as an “impressive red symbol” of 21st­centu ry London. However， Mr. Johnson has not yet convinced everyone to climb on board. The mayor has been criticized by some for the high cost of the new buses.A normal double­decker bus costs around ￡190,000 but it has cost ￡7,800,000 to design and build five new ones.81.Why did a traditional red double­decker bus c ome to Beijing in 2018？ (No more than 8 words)(2 marks)82.What disadvantage does the old Routemaster have？ ( No more than 6 words) (2 marks)83.List at least two special characteristics of the new design of the Routemaster. (No more than 15 words) (3 marks)84.What might be the public reaction to the new bus according to the last paragraph？ (No more than 8 words) (3 marks)SECTION C(25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions givenbelow in Chinese.请根据下面的图片，写一篇短文，内容包括：1．描述漫画内容；2．说出其中的寓意；3．发表你的观点。
