Conclusion书面表达(满分25分)One possible version:Heart-to-Heart Talks with ParentsAs is shown in the bar chart, children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow older. For example, while the 7—9 age group spends as many as 6 hours per week on average, the 16—18 age group spends only half the time.There are two major reasons for this. First of all, parents are too busy working and children are occupied with their studying, so they can’t spare much time to talk with each other. Secondly there aren’t many topics of common interest for parents and children to talk about. Besides, children can’t have their parents as their own friends because of the generation gap between them.In my opinion, children should let their parents know more about what they are interested in. At the same time, parents should spend more time talking with their children and sharing opinions with them. Only in this way can they better understand each other.听力材料第一节听下面5段对话。

This friendly grouse soon felt 13 not just with our family, but with anybody who walked or drove by.When hunting season opened, we put a 14 at the end of our driveway asking 15 not to shoot our pet grouse.

What’s worse, even if those phubbers stay with their family or friends, what they like best is still to get addicted to smart phones without caring about others’feelings.Is it absolutely proper for them to do so? Despite the fact that we are able to get numerous and diverse information from smart phones, we shouldn’t ignore the basically social communication, especially with our loved ones.What do you think of phubbing?

AIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their p apers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.1．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Lady, are you rich? B．A story of Thanksgiving DayC．Don't forget how rich you are D．Does cups and saucers match well?2．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.B．The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.C．If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.D．After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 3．The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.A．show that she was a kind-hearted ladyB．remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she wasC．leave room for readers to think about what being rich isD．prove that she had understood what meant being rich4．It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.A．how much money you have made B．what attitude you have had towards life C．the way you help others D．your social relationshipBEverybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."5. This passage is mainly about ________.A. different kinds of tipping in different countriesB. the relationship between tipping and customC. the origin and present meaning of tippingD. most American people hate tipping6. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"?A. become popular.B. been hated.C. been stopped.D. been permitted命题人：马婷7. Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?A. A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.B. An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.C. A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.D. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.8. We can infer from this passage that ________.A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesB. tipping is especially popular in New YorkC. tipping in America can make service better nowD. tipping has something to do with people's characterCPeople are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal informati on.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information.They have a “less satisfying experience.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when th ey’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guid elines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has don e so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too higha price to pay.9. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.10. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the webs ite.D. They care very little about their personal information.11. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To obey the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectionD. To expand its business.12. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.D13. What you have just read is a _______.A. noteB. reportC. scheduleD. poster14. What is going to take place on 2 February, 2013?A. A party for close friends to meet and have fun.B.

Because tests have shown every mobile phone averagely carries 18 times more potentially harmful bacteria than a toilet handle. One of the phones in the test had such high levels of bacteria that it could have given its owner a serious stomach upset.While the bacteria are not immediately harmful, high levels of bacteria indicate poor personal hygiene（卫生）and act as a breeding（交配繁殖）ground for other bugs. The findings from a sample of 30 phones by Which?magazine suggests 14.7 million of the 63 million mobile phones in use in the UK today could be potential health risk.The most unhygienic phones had more than ten times the acceptable level of bacteria and seven of them were above the level. The worst phone also had 39 times the safe level of enterobacteria（肠道菌）, a group of bacteria that live in the lower intestinies（肠）of humans and animals and include bugs such as Salmonella（沙门氏菌）. Other bacteria including food poisoning bugs were found on the phones but they are at safe levels. Which ?researcher Ceri Stanaway said, “Most phones didn’t have any immediately harmful bacteria that would make you sick right away but they were dirtier than they could be, so every one should pay attention to keeping your mobile phone hygienic when you use it.”1. The underlined part “Which?” in this passage is __________.A. a paperB. an organizationC. a researcherD. a magazine2. From the passage we know that bacteria found on the phones ________.A. are immediately harmful to the ownerB. are a hidden danger to the ownerC. are dirty but safeD. are breeding much faster than other bacteria3. According to the writer, people should _________.A. not use phones any moreB. not take phone alongC.keep their phones as clean as possiblee phones as little as possible4. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A. Mobile phones carry a lot of bacteria.B. Mobile phones are important in people’s life.C. Some research on mobile phonesD.some advice on using mobile phones.III. 单项选择1.

But unlike many of his classmates at Shanghai's Foreign Languages High School, Chen did not set his sights on Harvard, Yale, or any of the other Ivy League schools；__41___ he applied to Bowdoin College, a small, elite liberal-arts college in Maine. Chen received a full scholarship to study psychology, and he later added economics as a second ___42_____.Now in his senior year, Chen has become such a devotee of the liberal-arts approach that he's made it his ___43____ to spread the word throughout China. He has coauthored a book called A True Liberal Arts Education, which essentially explains the little-known concept to Chinese students and their parents. "Most Chinese people only know about Harvard, Yale, and Princeton," he says __44____ coffee in a Shanghai café during his winter vacation. Though there have been many books about how to get into Ivy League universities, "there was not a single book in China about the smaller liberal-arts colleges," he says. Chen, 23, explains that he was won over by Bowdoin's___45_____to developing skills for life, rather than simply for the workplace. "Liberal arts is about fostering your identity," he says. "They want to__46____ your mind. You may not remember all the knowledge you've learned after four years, but they want you to know how to learn."Yet he admits that liberal arts may be a hard sell in a country with an ___47____ competitive job market. The book states that in the short term, a liberal-arts education won't improve job prospects. "In China, employers are looking for someone who can come in and start working ___48___ when they graduate, not someone who still needs to be trained in practical skills," Chensays. At the same time, he argues that many employers say liberal-arts graduates perform better over the long term.Over the past couple of years, ___49____ from China to U.S. liberal-arts colleges have risen significantly. Bowdoin now has 300 Chinese applicants a year, compared with 100 a couple of years ago.III.

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)Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education．"Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say．In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation．It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose．Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee．“I thought, maybe Linda and I c ould do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls．He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library. com．The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts．The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters．Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see．“We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda．The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama series．Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work．Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area．Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children．“Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim．“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”65．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A．His health problem B．His love for teachingC．The influence of his wife D．The news from the Web．66．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A．Give out brochures．B．Do something similar．C．Write books for children D．Retire from being a teacher．67．Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A．To avoid signing up online．B．To meet Dollywood board members．C．To make sure the books were the newest．D．To see if the books were of good quality．68．What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A．He needs more money to help the children． B．He wonders why some people are so busy．C．He tries to save those waiting to die．D．He considers his efforts worthwhile(B)DONALD SLOANGates Hall University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045 913-243-1682 After May 2009:46 Clayton Drive St. Louis, MO 63130 314-726-8840Objective To work with the client (委托人) population in a social service position.

This passage is most probably ______.A. an advertisement for enrolling new employeesB. a school report at the end of an academic yearC. a self-introduction meant to apply for a jobD. a part of a recommendation letter from a university70. According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____.A. a wise leaderB. a skillful performerC. a gifted scientistD. a good social worker71. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Donald Sloan is a postgraduate of University of Kansas, majoring in social services.B. Donald Sloan has performed surgeries in Danyers General HospitalC. Donald Sloan worked in Fairview Nursing Home before he assisted in Danyers General HospitalD. Donald Sloan did the voluntary work offering advice on teenager problems over the phone72. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.A. is good at singing and dancingB. is about to graduate from a universityC. has an interest in being a surgeonD. specializes in psychology(C)Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs’s board as an outside director in January 2000: a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much criticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman’s compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased advisers on a firm’s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals. If the sky and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked whichdirectors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They found that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they “trade up.” Leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.73. According to Paragraph 1, Ms. Simmons was criticized for __________.A. gaining excessive profitsB. failing to fulfill her dutyC. refusing to give inD. leaving the board in tough times74. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be __________.A. generous investorsB. unbiased executivesC. share price forecastersD. independent advisers75. According to the researchers from Ohio University after an outside director’s surprise departure,the firm is likely to ______________.A. become more stableB. report increased earningsC. do less well in the stock marketD. perform worse in lawsuits76. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors _____________.A. may stay for the attractive offers from the firmB. have often had records of wrongdoings in the firmC. are accustomed to stress-free work in the firmD. will decline incentives from the firm(D)As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating and transmission system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases thelandownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West. 77．What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned. B．Some railroad stops remained underused.C．Land in the West was hard to manage. D．Land grants went into private hands.78．What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?A．The transmission of power. B．The use of money and power. C．The conservation of solar energy. D．The selection of an ideal place. 79．What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?A．Cautious B．Approving C．Doubtful D．Disapproving 80．Which is the best title for the passage?A．How the Railways Have Affected the WestB．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestC．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedD．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been SettledSection C: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. F=A+EA. Life in the blue-water worldB. Diving tours around the worldC. Options to meet various interestsD. Necessary equipment to ensure safetyE. Experiences on scuba-diving holidaysAE. Experienced staff to keep you company81.__________________________Have you ever wondered what it might be like to live under the sea? Imagine the feeling of freedom you would have swimming through the clear, blue water deep beneath the waves, admiring the different types of corals, unusual plants and the creatures that call the sea bed home. Passing turtles are swimming above you, while bright and colorful groups of fish are travelling alongside you through the depths. All of this is possible on one of our scuba（水中呼吸器）-diving holidays! 82.____________________________International Diving Tours can prepare you for the experience of a lifetime. On our scuba-diving holidays, you will have the opportunity to swim in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, where you can explore underwater caves and coral reefs, and witness some of the strangest and most wonderful creatures on the planet. Not only will you have one of the most exciting times of your life, but you will also come back from your trip feeling calm and relaxed. 83.____________________________We offer several different holiday options for you to choose from. Our sales people can plan and organize the best trip for you, all for the best price! Options include the chance to explore some of the most famous ancient shipwrecks hidden beneath the ocean, or, if you prefer the natural world, we also offer tours of the world-famous Great Barrier Reef in Australia. We even offer the chance to swim with dolphins or venture into a shark cage, where behind the safety of a metal barrier you can watch these fierce beasts go about their daily life.84. ____________________________All the necessary equipment for your underwater adventure is provided, from wetsuits designed to fit all body shapes, to the latest scuba masks to help you see when you are exploring the world beneath the sea. For longer dives, we provide tanks of oxygen that can let you dive for up to four hours. All of our equipment is checked regularly to ensure that you remain safe at all times.85.______________________________Our instructors are among the best in the world. They will show you how to swim in your scuba equipment and how to communicate with hand signals under water, which is vital for deep-sea diving. They will also make sure you understand how to return to the surface safely, since rising too quickly can cause a number of health problems. Most importantly, however, they will make sure you have fun.IV. Translation: (15%)86. 如果你方便的话，请你帮我在网上订购两张音乐会的票。
