Before the war,there had been a huge pool of female labour,consisting largely ofyoung,single women. Many jobs were closed to them and they were effectively restricted toworking in domestic service and selling-goods business. Wartime production requirements,however,combined with the loss of the men who entered the military,provided women with theopportunity to move into a far wider range of jobs.T he response to the US government’s request for more women workers was amazing and thechanges marvelous.ln 1941,there were 14.6 million women workers; by 1944 the number hadgrown to over 19.4 million. At one point during those wars,more than 50 percent of Americanwomen worked and by 1945 half of all women workers were over 35 years old.Women were particularly active in the defense industries. Between 1940 and 1944 womenworking in enterprises that produced goods increased by 141 percent. In Detroit in 1943 , womenmade up 91 percent of the new hirings in 185 war plants. Over 10 percent of all shipbuilderswere women. Most of these jobs came with a "pink-slip" attached,as women understood thatthey would be dismissed when the men returned from the war. Women were also frustrated byunfair pay differentials,for men were paid more money for doing the same job. With the end ofthe war and armymen being sent home,women were released twice as fast as men. In 1945,three-quarters of the women in aircraft and shipbuilding were let go,and women in the carindustry decreased from 25 percent t0 7 percent. Although women found their work satisfyingand liberating,postwar publicity focused on women's duty to help the returning soldiers fit inwith society by "making him the man of the home again". When the war ended,many womenleft work to take up the duties of homemaking and raising children.21. Before World War II,women in the USA had jobs mostly related to .A. aircraft productionB. shipbuildingC. sales businessD. defense industries22. When women were offered jobs in industries,they knew that their jobs would be _A. temporaryB. permanentC. frustratingD. highly paid23. When the war ended,media made women believe that .A. their work was satisfyingB. their work was worthwhileC. they should help the armyD. they should take care of the familyBThe Great Plague<瘟疫> of London in 1665 was the last in a long series of plague thatfirst began in London in June 1499.1t killed between 75,000 and 100,000. First suspected inlate 1664,it began to spread eastwards in April 1665 from the poor suburb of St. Giles to thecrowded and dirty communities on its way to the walled City of London.The Great Plague at Its PeakBy September 1665 ,the death rate had reached 8,000 per week. Helpless city authoritiesbegan to abandonquarantine<隔离> measures. Houses containing the dead and dying were nolonger locked. London's mournful silence was broken by the noise of carts carrying the dead forburial in churches or public plague pits.Well-off residents soon fled to the countryside,leaving the poor behind in poor oldcommunities.Thousands of dogs and cats were killed to remove a feared source of contagion<传染>,and piles of rotting garbage were burned. Doctors cut swellings and bled black spots inattempts to cure plague victims.Plague Orders prohibited churches from keeping dead bodies in their buildings duringpublic assemblies or services, and carriers of the dead had to identify themselves and could not mix with the public.Samuel Pepys: Eyewitness AccountsIn his famous diary,Samuel Pepys,a member of Parliament,conveyed the sad image ofdesperate people wandering the streets in search of relief from the ruins of the plague. His notes during 1665 indicated the severity of London's Great Plague. In July,he mourned "the sad news of the death of so many in the community,forty last night, the bell always going either for deaths or burials." A month later,when London's death rate rose sharply, Pepys noted thatsurvivors "are forced to carry the dead to be buried by daylight,the nights not enough to do itThe Plague Declines and the Government ReactsBy February 1666,the Great Plague had nearly run its course. It died out during the GreatFire that same year and never returned. Central parts of London were rebuilt with wider streetsto relieve crowding and better waste water systems to improve public cleanliness. New PlagueOrders were issued in May 1666,which banned the burial of future plague victims in churchesand small churchyards, enforced the use of quicklime <生石灰> at chosen burial sites, andstrictly prohibited opening graves less than one year after burial as a safeguard against thespread of infection.24.In the course of the Great Plague,it was a common practice to.A. keep dead bodies in the church buildingsB. burn piles of rotting garbage in the streetsC. carry the dead for church burials in the daytimeD. unlock the houses containing the dead and dying25.lt can be inferred from the passage that .A. dogs and cats were certain to spread the plagueB. doctors' treatment of plague victims was effectiveC. city authorities allowed rich residents to go to the countrysideD. quarantine measures were powerless in preventing the plague26. How did Samuel Pepys feel when the bell was going all the night during the Great Plague?A. Frightened.B. Relieved.C. Sorrowful.D. Moody.27. What's the main purpose of this writing?A. To blame poor public cleanliness for plague.B. To inform readers of what happened in the Great Plague.C. To show that plague was closely related to church activities.D. To prove that plague could be controlled by humans.CFamous writer Edgar Allan Poe wrote 70 poems and 66 short stories during his life,butpublished only one novel. That book, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon, Pym of Nantucket,isfiction,focusing on Pym's bad luck on a whaling ship.The novel, published in 1838,involves an attempted rebellion of the whaling ship. Pym andtwo others drive back the rebels,killing or throwing overboard all but one. The spared rebel,named Richard Parker,is kept aboard in order to help operate the ship. But as the shipoverturns,it has no adequate food. Parker suggests that cannibalism<食人> is the only wayout,and they draw straws to determine the victim. Parker loses and becomes dinner.But in 1846 a real-life Richard Parker died in a shipwreck<船难> . He and 20 0thers wereon board the doomed Francis Spaight, which sank, killing all on board. It was a merecoincidence,as it involved neither rebellion nor cannibalism.In 1884,the coincidence became extremely horrible. A boat named the Mignonette sank,and four people went into a lifeboat. And just like in Pym's tale,the four found themselveslacking food and were desperate. They did not draw straws;however,two of the remaining threesimply killed the youngest,a cabin boy who had fallen unconscious. All three then dined on thenow-dead 17 year old. The cabin boy's name,of course,was Richard Parker.As for rebellion,one needs to travel back t0 1797, before Poe penned his novel–althoughthere is little evidence that Poe had known about this Richard Parker or intentionally chose hisname for the Pym novel. That year,another man named Richard Parker led a rebellion of theBritish Naval base at Nore, taking over a number of ships. But as food was running out,Parkerordered "his" fleet to head toward France. The ship he was on followed this order but none ofthe other ships did,and Parker was arrested then was hanged as punishment.This series of coincidences has not gone entirely unnoticed. In 2001,author Yann Martelpublished The Life of Pi,which was made into a movie for release in November of 2012.lt tells the story of a man who finds himself trapped on a lifeboat with a few animals,including aBengal tiger. Martel showed respect for the shipwrecked men spoken about above by naming thetiger Richard Parker. And while there is probably nothing to this strange occurrence, if yourname is Richard Parker,you may want to stay away from boats.28. The underlined part " draw straws" < Para.2> suggests someone will be chosen toA. deal with strawsB. enjoy a good opportunityC. make a clever decisionD. do something unpleasant29. What made the coincidence in 1884 extremely terrible?A. Cannibalism without drawing straws.B. Shipwreck and rebellion.C. Rebellion and cannibalism.D. Hanging and cannibalism.30. What can be learnt about the name Richard Parker?A. It was chosen on purpose by Allan Poe.B.lt seemed connected with strange coincidences.C.It was popular both in fiction and in reality.D.It was originally a name for a Bengal tiger.31. To those Richard Parkers who wish to sail on the sea,this passage makes for _A. a complete nonsenseB. an accurate predictionC. an interesting warningD. an impressive jokeDWhat is the main testing ground of fears about incomplete or inadequate child rearing? Thecollege admission process.If you are afraid you don't discipline your children enough,the evidence of parental failure is right there in front of everyone. The child is not filling out her college applications !lf you are afraid that you have allowed your children to watch too much television and settle for low grades,you will have to answer for the consequences.The over-involvement of many parents in the process is,from my perspective,a cover for this deep parental anxiety: Did I do a good job with this child? Did I do everything I needed todo for this child? Is this child going to have a good life? I have seen many parents,dive backinto their children's lives at college admission time, trying to fill all of their wisdom anddiscipline into their children at the last moment.Parents may need to be sure as their children leave the nest that they really have taughtthem how to fly. Since it is impossible to assess the quality of what parents have done for theirchildren at this point,the next best thing is the status of the college to which the child isadmitted. From the point of an anxious parent, an "Ivy league college" child is proof of betterchild rearing than a "small college" child.I once sat with a talented,weak senior girl and her brilliant parents. She,they,and theschool had to decide whether she should remam m school or go into a hospital. In light of her anorexia <厌食>,the school recommended strongly that she not file her early application toPrinceton. Upon hearing this,the girl looked at the adults in the room and said,"If I can't applyearly to Princeton,l'll die. " Her parents were also eager to have her get into Princeton. Whydid they all need this so desperately?Because,in this case,something was wrong in the family. Due to some weakness in herupbringing,this childwas not happy or self-confident. Yet she was eighteen,the culture requiredher to leave home. The psychological solution for them all was the comforting vision of a greatcollege. Somehow going there would make her life fine and defend her parents' child rearing.Such fears about letting go of an unfinished child exist in all families. How can we let go ofa child who is still so young in so many ways? It is painful and has no cure except time andhope. For parents looking for a painkiller,the college admission process is where they can workout their anxieties.32. What does the underlined word "rearing" < Para.l> mean?A. Adopting.B. Raising,C. Educating.D. Spoiling.33.What is implied in parents' over-involvement in their children's college admission process inthe author's view?A. Care and concern.B. Over protection.C. Great parental wisdom.D. Deep parental anxiety.34. What should parents do according to the author?A. Help children fill out their college applications.B. Fallinto children's lives at college admission time.C. Prepare children for the future before they leave home.D. Access the quality of what they have done for their children.35. According tothe passage,what can defend the parents' child rearing?A.A great college.B.Time and hope.C. Confidence of children.D.Independence of children.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.I often went fishing up in Maine during the summer. Personally I am very fond ofstrawberries and cream. but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer insects. 36 Ithought about what they wanted.I didn't bait the hook with strawberries and cream.Rather,l swung an insect or a grasshopper<蚱蜢>in front of the fish and said: "Wouldn't youlike to have that？"37That is what Lloyd George,Great Britain's Prime Minister during World War I,did. When someone asked him how he managed to stay in power after the over wartime leaders - Wilson,Orlando and Clemenceau - had been forgotten,he replied that if his staying on top might beowing to any one thing,it would be to his having learned that it was necessary to bait the hookto suit the fish.Why talk about what we want? That is childish. Absurd. 38 But no one else is.Therest of us are just like you: we are interested in what we want.39Remember that tomorrow- when you are trying to get someone to do something. If,for example,you don't want your children to smoke,don't argue with them,and don't talk about what you want; but show them that cigarettes may keep them from making the basketball team or winning the hundred-yard dash.40Before you speak, pause and ask yourself: "How can I make this person want to do it?"A. Of course,you are interestedin what you want and you are always interested in it.B. Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?C. Tomorrow you may want to persuade somebody to do something.D.That is a good thing to remember regardless of whether you are dealing with children or animals.E. So the only way on earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to getitF. You have wanted the money very much.G. So when l went fishing,l didn't think about what l wanted.第三部分英语知识运用〔共两节,满分45分〕第一节完形填空〔共20小题；每小题1.5分,满分30分〕阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项〔A\B.C和D〕中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑：I stopped at a grocery store the other clay because l was about to go on a long drive and 1 wanted to buy myfavorite drink for the trip.As l walked up to the 41 ,I noticed a man and a boy who was about 10or 12 years oldstanding at the front of the store.

It was magnificent - youcould see whole city, the river and the hills beyond.

However, television today is dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels suitable for young eyes. Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed form the list of TV channels for an entire family. The following are some good ones based on popularity on a global scale.Discovery ChannelDiscovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of informative channels on television. What National Geographic does in a scholastic(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining manner—educating the masses about anything and everything.Fox FamilyFinding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family movies. This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.NickelodeonA channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows US programs. However, their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to kids aged 5and up.ABC FamilyABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family-centered shows and serials to the public in the USA. The need for this channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type US channels.LivingIf travelling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no better channel than Living.

If people want to know about what a traditional family is like, they can choose ____.A. Fox FamilyB. NickelodeonC. ABC FamilyD. LivingBI believe you can do your best. Not being the best but toughing the limits of what you’re capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don’t know the answer,” I would say, “I can’t do it!” “Perhaps you don’t know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do yo u think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?”Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.“Don’t be so hard on yourself,” he’d say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you’re not a failure,” he often told me these words.Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don’t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dig nity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.24.

Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago,watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping —are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!Cr eativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget（小玩意）in their bags, so people want to make a statement w ith what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!28. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.29. According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?A.

What may be the best title for the passage?A. Watches Tell More Than TimeB. Japanese Watches Stand OutC. Watch Industry Is in a Bad SituationD. Watches Are Becoming Less PopularDParents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling.Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that a parent can take in order to increase their child's skills and overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a child's brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child's mental and physical health. It is recommended that parents teach their children two languages at once. Research suggests that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. Other studies state that three to four years of age is the perfect time. Clearly, any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.32. From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids' various demandsB. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsC. parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsD. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids' growth33. What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A. To train kids as early as possible.B. To try as many means as possible.C. To help kids develop as fully as possible.D. To use as many available resources as possible.34. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B. The effective ways to help develop children's brains.C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children's health.D. The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.35. We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with .A. inspirationB. introductionC. suggestionD. promotion第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Third-Culture KidsDid you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was first used in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 36 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.37 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 38While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture ki d, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 39She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.While a third-culture kid must let go of his/her identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized(理想化的) image children have of “home”. 40As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.A. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.C. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E. Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better.F. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.G. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anythin g about current TV shows or fashion trends.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）One day I went to a store to get some needed items for my family.I gathered up my goodies and headed for the 41 counter, only to be 42 in the narrow aisle (通道) by a young man who 43 to be about sixteen years old.

Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, I’d like to put forward some advices.For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. For other, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, that can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is what the number of private cars should be put under the control. Meanwhile, buses should have its own special routes which cannot be using by other vehicles. Therefore, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.I do hope my suggestions will be taken.Yours,Li Hua第二节书面表达（满分25分）假定你是高三学生李华，从网上获悉一家国际青少年志愿者组织正在全球招募暑期志愿者。
