I was then in 9th grade when my mathematics teacher asked me to take on a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the entire teaching process. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.After my post-graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me with the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. I always wanted to connect with a wider group of people. In fact, I felt it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a lecturer, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that giving lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before I went to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam.”To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences andnew questions. I loved to explore their young minds and read their inquisitive (询问的) faces when a particular topic seemed hard. It was extremely challenging to motivate them to participate, think critically, question and also respect others’ points of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was extremely exciting to make them believe that they really can. That is the reason I love to teach.4. From the first paragraph we know that____.A. the author's math teacher was often away from workB. the author became a real teacher in 9th gradeC. the author joined the teaching profession because she had toD. a great many questions were put forward by the author's “students”5. When the author worked as a software developer, she might feel______.A. interestedB. dissatisfiedC. nervousD. proud6. What can we learn about the author?A. She liked the students most who often challenged her to read.B. She was too nervous to speak a word in her first class.C. New feelings, experiences and questions made her feel each day new.D. She was unwilling to solve her students' questions out of her domain.7. What would be the best title for this text?A. Why I Love to TeachB. What My Life Is LikeC. How I Was Chosen as a LecturerD. My First Lesson as a TeacherCMore Americans expect to work past their 65th birthdays and never retire, says a recent study.The Associated Press with the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research surveyed 1,075 people, who were aged 50 and older. One-fourth of them said they never plan to retire. Among low-income earners in that age group this is even more true than for high-income earners.In America, the age of 65 is the traditional age to retire. Sixty percent of people aged 50 to 64 said they expect to work past their 65th birthday. More than half ofthose who are already older than 65 said they plan to keep working, too. They say they are working an average of 31 hours per week.Those 50 years of age or older said finances (财务) are the most important factor in the decision on when to retire. A majority of older workers — especially those who are 65 and older — plan to change their employers, or move into an entirely new profession, as they head into the later years.One-third of people earning less than $50,000 a year said they will keep working. About 20 percent of those who earn more than $100,000 said they will never retire.As baby boomers — people born between 1946 and 1964 — reach age 65, the United States’ general population will have more older people than ever before. The number of Americans 65 and older jumped 21 percent — or to 35.5 million —between 2002 and 2012. That number is expected to reach 92 million by 2060.8. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1&2 ?A. Low-income earners were more willing to continue working.B. High-income earners were not willing to work past 65.C. 1,075 people who were 50 took part in the study.D. Americans were not sure when to retire.9. Which of the following might most probably affect Americans’ retirement age?A. Their decision.B. Working hours.C. The money that they make.D. The traditional age to retire.10. What would happen in the career of most older workers?A. They would be paid less.B. They would change their jobs.C. They would earn more money.D. They would have a talk with employers.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. America will have more older people.B. Older Americans have to work past 65.C. American people will have new jobs after 65.D. More Americans choose to work for more years.DDon’t be afraid! We are not encouraging people to steal. It’s one of the most popular topics currently talked about by people in cities, together with，“How many vegetables did you steal today?” or, “It’s harvest time for your peaches,” and，“I bought you a new car today.”Listening to a conversation like this, you do not have to feel strange. These people don’t really have their own farms or so much money that they can casually (随意地) buy someone else a car.They are just playing games on Social Networking Sites(SNS) like. Can you imagine millions of people in China spending lots of time on SNS playing games and talking to friends? This is especially true of white-collar workers in cities. Take for example — the number of current members has already hit 38 million.However, the large number of people using SNS highlights another problem. That is, lots of people choose to escape from reality. NSN just offers them a virtual(虚拟的) environment where they can escape from reality.Different games provide netizens with different experiences: dreaming, chatting and playing. It offers people the opportunity to escape from reality. But the virtual world is not the real one; no one can live in it forever, and reality is not as surfing on the Internet.Since this kind of social networking sites have become so popular, people have started to think about moving it into the real world. And as far as we know, a farmland of this kind exists in Shanghai where it has reached its first base.After playing the “Happy Farm” ga me on , would you like to put yourself among the real world while smelling the fragrances (芳香) of the countryside? Recently a farmland service called “Happy Farm in Reality” was opened in the suburbs of Shanghai where white-collar workers can experience the real farmers’ life for themselves.12. What’s the writer’s purpose for the first paragraph?A. To encourage readers to be brave.B. To tell the readers not to steal.C. To tell the readers some shocking news.D. To introduce some game.13. W hat does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The real world.B. Farmland in Shanghai.C. The virtual world.D. An expensive car.14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Millions of people in China are spending lots of time on SNS.B. People steal vegetables on SNS for a living.C. Lots of people play games on SNS to escape from reality.D. White-collar workers can have the real farmers’ life.15. You can find the passage in the part of a newspaper.A. politicsB. entertainmentC. economyD. sports第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before. With a great “ah ha”, he returned to donkey number ten,and just after a simple movement the donkey happily walked with him to the field.24. What was the farmer’s problem when he tied the donkey?A. He needed one more rope.B. The tenth stake was gone.C. The tenth donkey ran away.D. He had left a rope in the field.25. Following the monk’s advice, what did the farmer do?A.

The donkeys went to the field by themselves.27. What does the underlined part“ a simple movement”refer to?A. Taking away the tenth stake.B. Pretending to untie the donkey.C. Pretending to cut the tenth rope.D. Trying the tenth donkey with a real rope.CFirst Lady Michelle Obama is a big fan of volunteering. V olunteering means working for free to help someone else. Mrs. Obama says volunteering is very important. “It should be part of everyone’s life, ” she says.Many teens agree. They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference. These days, more teens volunteer than work for pay. Teens clean up parks, walk dogs at animal shelters , visit the elderly and more.Some cities ---- including Seatle, Chicago, and Washingtong,D.C. ----require high school students to volunteer.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C. By comparisonD.By example.33.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.34.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C.Few Italians take short breaks from work for coffee.D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.35.What does the author think of Italian coffee?A.She loves its bitter taste.B.It is too expensive for her.C.The cup it is served in is too small.D.It is a good choice for breakfast.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。

Without such problems, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age. But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases, joint problems and behavior changes. Sometimes, they even become infertile.To learn more about how captivity affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the life spans of female elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in their native habitats. Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death. These records made it possible for the researchers to analyze 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe, North America and Asia.The scientists found that female elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9years. Their wild counterparts who died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years - more than three times as long.Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to fare so much better than their zoo - raised counterparts. Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who led the study, thinks that stress and obesity may be to blame. Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild, and most are fed a diet of corn instead of their natural vegetation.Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early than African elephants born in zoos. Mason suggests that different species may react differently to the stress of captivity.1. What does the underlined word "ripe" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Smooth.B. Mature.C. Disease - free.D. Early.2. What do the scientists find in their study?A. Female elephants live longer than male elephants.B. Zoo - raised elephants live as long as their wild counterparts.C. Female elephants born in zoos have a shorter life span.D. Elephants are less healthy in zoos due to lack of exercise.3. What are the possible reasons for the zoo - raised elephants' poor healthaccording to Mason?A. Stress and obesity.B. Eating too much corn.C. Lack of exercise and different species.D. All of the above.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Elephants in ZoosB. Health of Zoo - raised ElephantsC. Comparison between Zoo - raised and Wild ElephantsD.

Three groups of people came to the country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought theirlanguages with them to England.

That language—Old English—sounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar. There were only a few thousand words in Old English.

As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. To his regret, he lost it at the station.On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The woman’s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said goodbye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.“Wait a minute, sir,〞shouted the old woman. “That’s my umbrella!〞Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry,“Oh, I’m very sorry, Madam! I didn’t mean it!〞Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital. To his surprise, he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again.
