AElizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3, 1821 in England. While she was growing up, two of her brothers and six of her sisters died. Elizabeth decided to become a doctor.Her father was a sugar businessman. He encouraged equality(平等) between boys and girls so, unlike most girls, Elizabeth had the same education as boys.One night, when Elizabeth was eleven, a fire destroyed her family’s business. The family became so poor that Mr. Blackwell decided to go to America. When the family reached New York, Mr. Blackwell tried to start a new business, but failed.

After graduation, Elizabeth went to Paris to learn more about medicine. Elizabeth returned to America in 1851. There she helped other women become doctors and opened a medicine store. Then, she begged her rich friends to give money to build a hospital.Elizabeth’s dream came true in 1857 when the New York Infirmary For Women and Children opened its doors. It was the first true hospital for women, run by women doctors in the world. In 1868, the hospital opened a medical college for women.

A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still there, trying to get someone to stop for him.We stopped and took a good look at him. He had no collar (项圈) and he was really thin. We guessed that he was abandoned (遗弃). He was clearly on the road for some time. He was covered with scars and new wounds. We thought that some of them were from fights with wild dogs or other wild animals.So we took him home, cleaned him and fed him a lot over the next two weeks. He gained over 10 pounds. Then we took him to the vet, who said he appeared to be in good health. The vet said the dog was about two or three years of age, according to the condition of his teeth. And the vet gave him all the required shots.We really loved this dog. He had obviously been mistreated but he was still so sweet. He had no manners, but he was a quick learner. He no longer tried to get on the bed, but he liked sitting in the chair. We thought he wanted to avoid being underfoot when our daughter was dancing, which she did often. She had stepped on him a few times. When that happened, he simply moved. He did not growl (狂吠) or bare his teeth.Since then, he had become a member of our family.13.

ARestaurants in the USASteve’s PizzaSo many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York–style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients (成份). New branches of Steve’s are op ening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.Opening hours: 11am-3amCattleman’s SteakhouseThis place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.Opening hours: 5pm-10pmAbsolute Baking & CaféThe screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs--it’s made from scratch, as are the organic (有机的) breads. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fr esh carrot cake.Opening hours: 7am-2pmWalt’s WharfEverybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.Opening hours: 11am-3:30pm1.

In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy( 书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spendmore time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. ―If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?‖ we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. ―The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,‖ she reasons. ―Students must learn now so they don’t forget wh en they grow up.‖ says the teacher.4. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.5. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.6. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students7. Where does this text probably come from?A. A news report.B. A science report.C. An advertisement.D. Children’s literature.CThe H1Nl virus has been spreading worldwide，it is important for us to know how to control it．Please pay attention to the following points：1．Don’t touch your face．Above all，keep your hands away from your eyes，mouth and nose，all of which serve pathways(途径) for the viruses(病毒) to enter your body．2．Wash your hands．If you have to touch your face，wash your hands，getting under the fingernails for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soap and water before．Soaps with surfactants(表面活性剂) can deal with flu viruses．3．Cover your nose and mouth．When someone sneezes or coughs，liquid(液体) drops with flu viruses as far as three feet through the air and land on your nose and mouth，so it’s best to keep at leas t an arm’s length distance when talking to someone who shows signs of infection(感染)．In order to protect others，cover your mouth and nose with a tissue(纸巾) when you cough or sneeze，and clean your hands afterward．Viruses can live for hours，or even longer when on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards．4．Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the future．Some research suggests that masks reduce the risk of getting the flu viruses by as much as 80%．But it also suggests that if you don’t wash han ds，the mask doesn’t work well．So wash your hands and use the mask，especially wearing face masks in crowded places is also useful．8．The article mainly tells ________．A．the H1N1 virus has been spreading world-wideB．how to control the H1N1 virusC．cover your nose and mouthD．everyone should buy a mask in the future9. How does the virus enter your body easily?A．Get through your mouth．B．Get through your nose．C．Get through your eyes．D．All of the above．10. What can we do with the flu viruses?A．Water B．Masks C．Soaps with surfactants D．Tissues．11．Which of the statements is Not True?A．Wash your hands before meals．B．When you cough or sneeze，you should cover your mouthC．You shouldn’t often touch your mout h，eyes and nose．D．When you put a mask，you can often go to the crowded places．DGoing green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.12. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Celebrating Our Green Year.B. Protecting the Planet.C. Keeping Open-MindedD. Going Green.13. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because______.A. they needed to perform unusual green tasksB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they were expected to follow the green fad14. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A. They ignore others’ ungreen behavior.B. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They sold their home-made food.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green people.B. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.C. The couple may continue their project in the future.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文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。

To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, andI noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change.I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my ca r or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight.I had to exercise with patience and perseverance (坚持). I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good.The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem?5. The underlined word “inspired” in the second paragraph can be rep laced by .A. excitedB. movedC. encouragedD. forced6.

Which of the following word will you use to describe the writer?A. Weak.B. Calm.C. Patient.D. Silent.CGood music in the life of a child provides many benefits. Music has the ability to change a child’s mind, soul and body. Because music can create deep feelings and it can have a calming effect on a stressful child. According to many classroom teachers, children perform better under the influence of appropriate music. This is true even for older children. According to the Profiles of the SAT Program, students who take part in music scored much higher on the standardized test than those not involved in a music program.Children can benefit from many types of music. Nursery songs, songs of nature, holiday songs and religious songs all teach children different things about the world around them. These songs should be incorporated (使并入) into a child’s life. In this way, music becomes more than just rhythms and sounds---it becomes a means for learning about different aspects of life.Music helps develop a child’s intellectual abilities. On the left side of the brain are areas responsible for reasoning and language acquisition (知识技能的获得). These are areas that music can influence. Therefore, music can help children process language more efficiently. As a result, a child’s intelligence is improved through music.Different styles of music can help children understand the culture of others. Each culture has a unique style of music. For example, a child who is exposed to music from AFRIC, India, China, and Europe will come to understand and respect those cultures as well as enjoy the difference forms of musical creativity. This also helps children understand how music can reach across the world and unite cultures.Music has the ability to produce skills within children that will benefit them throughout their lifetime. Success in life requires such skills as problem-solving, creative thinking, risk-taking, effective communication and good teamwork. Participation in music requires study skills and communication skills.9. Why is music able to influence children’s mind and soul?A. Because music can calm down stressful children.B. Because music makes children have a good impression on everything.C. Because music teaches children how to relax.D. Because background music makes children get high scores in exams.10. Good music in the life of a child provides many benefits, because ________.A. one kind of music can teach children different things about the world around them.B. music can affect the right side of the brain to improve intelligence.C. different styles of music can help children understand their own culture.D. music helps children develop different skills.11. What’s the purpose of the author listing the e xample of the boy in Paragraph 4?A. To let children know the uniqueness of music among different countries.B. To prove the effect of music on helping children understand world cultures.C. To make children enjoy worldwide music.D. To explain how to learn different cultures.12. What is the main idea of the passage?A. An introduction to different kinds of music.B. Music has a positive effect on culture.C. Music benefits children a lot.D. Advice on how to create music.DThere once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” they sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mounta ins only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth.

AHaving a large collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a pe rson who loves reading. They may be got from your father and your father’s father or they can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.From my point of view, reading is very important in our lives. For example, reading is a means of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field; you can express your opinion about a political event at least, because you have read something about that.Reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can dream in the world of the rich or imagine what life will be like in the future.Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do and suffer like us, too.In short, I would like to say that reading is the perfect means of enriching our culture, expressing correctly and having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be an erudite person.1．In the writer’s opinion, some people have many books at home only to.A.make their houses look more beautifulB. show that their fathers are wealthyC. impresses others with the fact that they love reading very muchD. show that they are rich enough to have such a large collection of books 2．We can learn from the fourth paragraph that .A. people in stories are always unbelievableB. what we read can be useful in our daily lifeC. writers are good at dealing with problems in lifeD. writers often have different experiences in life3．The underlined word "erudite" in the last paragraph probably means " ".A. learnedB. enthusiasticC. smartD. creative4.

In her poem, Elizabeth tells a storyabout how she desperately loves someone but must behave as if she does not. These actions cause her great pain and confusion. After a while she becomes resistant to her feelings until she discovers she can no longer hide them. She is faced with denying her duty or denying her heart. As she talks through her feelings, I have the impression of someone dealing with the death of a loved one. At first, she is in denial and then becomes somewhat angry. Through the second stanza (节)she moves on to feelings of sadness and regret. Finally, in the third stanza she completes this cycle of copy by resigning herself to her feelings. In her hopes of finding closure, she ends by pleading, "Or let me live with some more sweet content, /or die, and so forget what love e’er meant."In On Monsieur’s Departure, the reader discovers a woman who is apparently distraught (发狂的)over her feelings for a lo ver she cannot get. Due to Elizabeth’s royal position as queen and the duties that she must uphold, it is no wonder that she would not be permitted to choose any suitor of her liking. She must choose according to what will be suitable to her position on the throne. Elizabeth has to put the concerns of her government and the people she rules ahead of her own wishes. This must have been a terrible burden on her and must have brought on a feeling of isolation (孤独)as well. She did try to find some small escape from these pressures and personal conflicts (冲突)by writing poetry. Through reading On Monsieur’s Departure, the reader is able to grasp the inner struggle Elizabeth has over her feelings for this lover and the knowledge that she cannot have him.8．Why does the author of On Monsieur’s Departure feel sad and regretted?A. She loses the one she loves.B. She is shouldering a heavy burden and is too busy.C. She can’t choose the one she loves.D. She is turned down by her lover.9．Which of the following is true about Elizabeth?A. She hates her royal position as queen.B. She must put her duty above her love.C. She is not suitable to be queen.D. She prefers love to power.10．Elizabeth wrote poetry probably to .A. escape from her pressures and troubled feelingsB. sing praise for true loveC. enrich her personal lifeD. express her love for someone 11．The passage is probably taken from .A.a personal journalB.a newspaper storyC.a research paperD.a poetry reviewDI moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas，I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor’s front porches(门廊)on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards：“Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call，and a couple even came by to thank me. This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply：Resident，5104 Northumberland Road.The thank—you card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message，“Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry，but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket becausehe was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas，but I believe if she knew what had happened，she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly’s last days be more cheerful.12．How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?A. Nine.B. Eight.C. Ten.D. Eleven.13．Where did the friendly lady live?A. She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.B. Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.C. She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.D. The author was not sure about her address at all.14．How did the author’s neighbors respond to his gifts?A. They liked the gifts wry much and were thankful.B. They were thankful and wanted to learn how to make baskets.C. They all made phone calls to say” Thank You".D. They all visited him by person to show gratitude.15．What does the author mean in the last paragraph?A. He was regretful that the nice la dy didn’t receive his gift.B. He was glad to have made Mr. Kelly’s life more pleasant.C. He thought Richard Kelly deserved to receive that basket.D. The old lady was happy to sacrifice to make Kelly happy.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。

This was no one-woman campaign.Stoddart encouragedthe paper factories and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river.She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem.Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems.She talked with environmentalists about the long-term problems of pollution.Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean-up. When she spoke to the board,she insisted that the Nashua River.should be made safe for swimming.They thought her goals were unrealistic.However,the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up.They all realized that cleaning up the river was in everyone's best interests.By 1993,several water treatment plants had been built,and a conservation area called a "green way" had been created along the banks of the river.Today factories are still operating along the river,but there are also fish in the river.The Nashua River welcomes boaters,naturalists,and even swimmers.None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.24.What does the underlined word “reclaim” refer to?A.enlargeB.rescueC.monitorD.explore25.What's the attitude of the board to Stoddart's goal of improving the river?A.SupportiveB.NeutralC.DoubtfulD.Cautious26.What kind of person is Marison Stoddart?A.Intelligent and creativeB.Stubborn and proudC.independent and broad-mindedD.Determined and far-sighted27.What message is conveyed through the no one-woman campaign?A.It’ll be all right on the night.B.Many hands make light work.C.Prevention is better than cure.D.Failure is the mother of success.CTo understand meditation（冥想）through an experiment,you can take two pictures with a camera.Hold your camera still and take the first picture.Now,shake your camera and take the second picture.The difference in clarity（清晰度）between the two pictures is the difference in clarity of a life with and without meditation.Meditation means different things to different people.There are many methods to reach the state of meditation. Our intention in this Life School Message is not to compare different practices.What we'd like to do is to give you a glimpse into what benefits can arise as a result of meditation.One of the most important functions for human survival is the ability to adapt and adjust to our surroundings. The brain and body are dealing with an unbelievable amount of stimuli（刺激）in every single moment of life. Focusing on all of them at once would be impossible.So,the mind tends to shift as many stimuli as possible to the subconscious back burner.For example,you probably aren't paying attention to the feel of your shirt on your body until you read this sentence.Now that I've mentioned it,I've brought it back into your conscious thoughts.and you do notice it. Somewhere in the next few paragraphs,your mind will place it on the back burner again to be able to focus on understanding this article.Fascinating,isn't it?Our minds do this constantly.Meditation helps you to increase your awareness and helps you to stay focused on the right things of life.It ensures you do not get distracted and helps you do stay alert.It helps you to understand the past,live the present and create the future.For the people who have no knowledge or experience of this particular subject,let me share a basic yet one of the most powerful methods that can lead you to meditation.28.What is the main purpose of taking two pictures?A.To tell people how to take a good picture.B.To compare the difference between two photos.C.To show the effect meditation has on life.D.To give us a clear definition of meditation.29.What is the aim of the book Life School Message mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.To teach you how to adapt to our surroundings.B.To tell you how to reach the state of meditation.C.To make you understand the benefits of meditation.D.To teach you the right way to deal with stimuli.30.Although you have the shirt in your conscious thoughts,why will you place it on the back burner again later?A.Because shirt is not important.B.Because you've brought it back into your conscious thoughts.C.Because your minds do this constantly.D.Because you need to move on to understanding this article.31.The benefits of meditation include the following EXCEPT .A..increasing your awarenessB.helping you keep alertC.helping you stay focused on the right thingsD.helping you solve the problems in lifeDWhen children start kindergarten,evident gaps in science knowledge already exist between Whites and minorities and between youngsters from upper-income and low-income families.And they often deepen into significant achievement gaps by the end of eighth grade if they are not dealt with during elementary school.The findings suggest that,in order tor the United States to maintain long-term scientific and economic competitiveness in the world,policymakers need to renew efforts to ensure access to high-quality,early learning experiences in childcare settings,preschools and elementary schools.The researchers’ study tracked 7,757 children from their star t in kindergarten to the end of eighth grade. Researchers found that,among kindergarteners with low levels of general knowledge,62 percent were struggling in science by the time they reached third grade and 54 percent were struggling in that subject in eighth grade.And general knowledge gaps between minorities and Whites were already large at the time when students began kindergarten.“Children growing up in low-income families typically experience comparativelyfewer early opportunities to learn about the natural and social sciences,” the authors wrote.“Their parents often have lower educational levels and therefore less science knowledge themselves as well as fewer resources available to direct the children's academic growth.Children raised in poverty often attend poorly resourced schools that further limit their academic opportunities.”Morgan said that,within families,parents who regularly talk and interact with toddlers（学步的儿童）can point out and explain physical,natural and social events occurring around them daily.This might help youngsters learn facts and concepts that will prepare them to take better advantage of science instruction they receive during elementary and middle school.32.Which may be the possible result of the gaps in science knowledge during kindergarten?A.Children from rich families wilt behave better in life.B.Children from minorities may have less desire for learning.C.The gaps will disappear automatically when children grow up.D.Children's academic performance afterwards will be affected.33.What did the researchers suggest policymakers do?A.Narrow income gaps between different families.B.Make good education available to children.C.Give extra lessons to children from poor families.D.Strengthen competitive awareness of kindergarteners.34.What can parents do to help their toddlers learn?A.Offer them more learning resources.B.Give them more nutritious food.C.Create learning opportunities in daily life.D.Let them attend science courses for kids.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Equal Education Is Important in KindergartenB.Income Gaps Affect Children's School PerformancesC.Provide More Available Access to Childhood LearningD.Science Knowledge Gaps Are Obvious in Kindergarten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。

He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed.The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to prerare an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview.Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a week’s training,he was employed and was happy with his position.I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and what price he had paid for doing so.

People should work hard and not give up when they can’t find a job.CImagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghaiin only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China’s high-speed railway system. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and finally Eastern Europe.China is planning to extend(延长) its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could rush from London to Beijing within two days. The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.China’s bullet train(高速列车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety and maintenance(保养) of railway tracks. So, it’s important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on longer railway constructionChina prefers that the other countries provide natural resources rather than financial investment. Resources from those countries could flood into China to support development.It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will certainly create more opportunities for business, to urism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We predict that in the coming decades, millions of people will move to the western parts, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the wes t. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.8. According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is.A. financial problemsB. safety of the systemC. technical issuesD. m aintenance of railway tracks9. What’s the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. DoubtfulD. Critical10. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because .A. China and the countries involved will get much-needed resourcesB. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC. Chin a will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism11. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. International Railway NetworkB. High-speed Bullet TrainsC. Big Railway DreamsD.New Railway StandardsDI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I suggested they recall their own teenage years. At that age they would like to be growing away from parents. They preferred to stand on their own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of going out fighting bravely on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another’s hands for reassurance.They declare they want to dress as they like. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up gathering around listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a similar way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this create a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go for it. Find yourse lf. Be yourself. Popularity will come —with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really matters.12. This passage is aimed at _______.A. people who try to understand and respect each otherB. readers who try to be popular with people aroundC. parents who try to control and guide their childrenD. teenagers who try to seek for their real selves13. The author doesn’t prefer rebelling teenagers _______.A. walking a new way on their ownB. always turning to friends for helpC. growing away from parentsD. following others blindly14. The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second pa ragraph refers to _______.A. the care and love from parentsB. the popular trend in the societyC. the present teenage marketD. the fantastic music world15. According to the author, what might happen when a teenager follows his/her ownpath?A. He/She gets larger collection.B. He/She gains valuable popularity.C. He/She shares fresh thoughts with classmates.D. He/She loses good friends. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.1. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farm.B. Moving to the countryside.C. Leaving home for the city.D. Running away from the school.2. Which of the following is true about the writer?A. He is very old now.B. He is in good health.C. He prefers driving a car.D. He lives in the city now.3. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside worldD. persuade the reader to live in the city4. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferring.B. By comparing.C. By listing examples.D. By giving explanations.BAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.

Never let your shoulders drop or your head hang down, but rather keep your head up and make eye contact with the interviewers.

Keep your body position open and make eye contact while listening to and answering questions.Leaving the interview location—No matter how you feel about your performance during the interview, carry yourself with confidence till you leave the interview location. Be confident when shaking hands and making eye contact as you say goodbye, and keep your body posture straight as you walk all the way to your car.Remember, the more you make active and confident body language a part of your daily life, the more it becomes a habit that follows you wherever you go.12.

AHobbs was an orphan(孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.”As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do: painting pictures.I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other.”“Here is the reading of your uncle's will(遗嘱)”，said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”“Yes, I see. I'll do that，” said the young man.1．Hobbs wanted to borrow money to ________.A. learn to paint picturesB. work abroadC. pay off the debtsD. study abroad．2．What does the underlined word “dumbfounded”(in Paragraph 2) probably mean?A．Satisfied B．Frightened C．Surprised D．Excited3．With the money he got, at first Hobbs ________.A．planned to have a happy life for a few daysB．decided to give up his work in the factoryC．was to give a dinner to his friendsD．had no idea what to do4．Hobbs was asked to ________.A．tell the lawyer what was to be done with the moneyB．read his uncle's willC．tell the lawyer what he did with the money after spending itD．buy some picturesBIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.5. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times.B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To sell them at discount pricesD. To help sell junk food.6. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning.B. Filling the store with the smell of fresh breadC. Inviting customers to play music.D. Displaying British wines next to French ones.7. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A. A good first impression increases salesB. The more expensive the house is, the better it sells.C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.D. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.8. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show dishonest business practices.B. To report researches on customer behavior.C. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.D. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.CThe Cambridge Science Festival Curiosity ChallengeDare to Take the Curiosity Challenge!The Cambridge Science Festival (CSF) is pleased to inform you of the sixth annual Curiosity Challenge.

If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members ofthe Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system （循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."12. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements exceptthat __________.A. they must reach the age of 60B. they should be easy to make friends withC. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsD. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February13. Doctors __________.A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyB. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming14. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for __________.A. they can remain youngB. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life15. The passage is mainly about __________.A. a group of cold-water swimming loversB. the polar bears' lifeC. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmingD. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。
