Is it still possible for us to get a table for two?W: You’re lucky. A party of two just call off their reservations. We can seat you in about 15 minutes.(Text 3)M: So, are you still going to Manila next week?W: No, I think we should invite Mr Quizon to come here instead.M: Good idea. He should get familiar with our side of the operation anyway.(Text 4)W: I really fancy this dress. Can I get a discount?M: Well, you’d better wait. We give our clerks 30% off the prices once they’ve work ed here for a month.W: Then I guess I’ll wait a couple of weeks before I buy any clothes.(Text 5)W: Hi, James! I haven’t seen you for ages! I went past your house last week. I was going to knock at your door and say hello!M: Well, it’s lucky you didn’t. My parents bought a new flat in town, so we’re there now! (Text 6)W: Tell me about the basketball match, Jon.M: Well, our team played well. We scored loads of points. Then I fell and hurt my leg, but I carried on playing. The other team was really better than us, though.W: So did you lose?M: No, because in the final seconds, I managed to get the ball, jump up to the basket and score!That meant we’d won! I thought my team might carry me out of the gym like a hero, though, so I was a bit disappointed.W: Well, maybe next time.(Text 7)M: Look at this! You played chess with your father, right?W: Yes. I used to play chess, but I wasn’t vey good at it. I found it really difficult to concentrate. In fact, I never won a game of chess, so I stopped playing after a while.M: That’s a pity. What about this one? You cooked dinner?W: Yes. I like cooking. I do it because I enjoy it, especially at weekends when I’ve got plenty of time.M: That sounds amazing. Maybe I can try some of your dishes next weekend.(Text 8)W: When did you decide to make your own videos in your spare time?M: When I was 12 I loved to watch other people’s videos online. One day I thought, “I want to do that.” So I did.W: Was it difficult to learn?M: No, not at all. All you need is a computer with a camera, and some video software.

But just let me tell you the details of this morning’s activities.M: OK, then.W: Firstly at a quarter to ten, in the hall, which is next to the meeting room, the Director of the Studies will talk to you about the different courses and their requirements. This should last for about 45 minutes. Then at about half past ten the Student Accommodation Officer will talk about the student dormitories and some social activities that we offer. That’s in the same place. He will finish at about 11:00. Then there’ll be a short break, after which you’ll be taken to Classroom 3 at about 11:15 for a test.M: Oh, I did not know I’d have to take a test.W: Take it easy. It’s not like an exam. It just helps us find your level of English and put you in the right class.M: OK, I see.(Text 10)W: Hi, there, everybody, and welcome to Animal World. Before you start your visit, I’d like to tell you about a few special events happening here today.The first event is called The World of Ants, and it’s happening this morning quite soon in the Insect House. Dr David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants — the different types ofants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It’s from 11 o’clock to 12 o’clock.At midday, that’s 12 o’clock, there’s a film which is just as fascinating and it’s called The Great Migration. This is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it’s a film which all the family will enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, a little farther than Theater A and Theater B — so bear that in mind for 12 o’clock. And it lasts 45 minutes.The next event is called Encouraging Garden Wildlife taking place in the Exhibition Room and given by Monica Chaddha. Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice.

Some effective ways to keep healthy.BThe boys crowded in two teams at the front of Charlene Skinner ’s class as they thought over the math problem that flashed on t he whiteboard. “That’s not right,” one boy said. “It says find the slope,” another boy said, instructing his classmates. Next door, in Room A114, the girls spent five minutes in Justin Anderson’s science class writing down everything they know about DNA. W hen the assigned time was up, asked the students to share some of what they noted down. “Nobody’s DNA is alike,” one girl s aid after raising her hand. “You get it from your parents,” said a nother.This is how some lessons are taught at James Gholson Mid dle School in ’s County: boys in one classroom, girls in another. Advocates argue that separating boys and girls removes distra ctions (分心) and sex prejudice in the classroom, taking the lead from exp ensive private schools and boarding schools that have relied on single-sex learning for generations. But opponents say there is little ev idence that such separation works, that it can be discriminatory (歧视) and that it doesn’t properly prepare students for a world that is mixed.Some experts say single-sex classes can break down sex stereotypes (定式), create opportunities for students and improve test scores. Kathy Couture, an education professor at Stetson University in and a board member of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, said students tend to be more focused on thei r curriculum and less concerned about impressing or getting att ention from the opposite sex. She said girls tend to “dumb themselves down for boys” when they are together in math and scie nce classes.But a report published last week by the Psychological Bulletin — which reviewed 184 studies to compare the outcomes of lear ning in single-sex and mixed classrooms — raised questions about whether t here are any real advantages to single-sex classrooms.Janet Hyde, one of the report’s co-authors, said there was no evidence to support the argument th at boys do better orally or that girls improve in math and scienc e when in single-sex settings. What is more important is that separating students might not adequately prepare them for college and careers. “O ne of the major purposes of school is to prepare students for th e adult world, and that world is mixed,” Janet Hyde said. “I think we do harm to students by not preparing them for the adult wor ld.”61. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To show how boys and girls are taught separately.B. To show how the students behave in class.C. To show how the two lessons are different.D. To show how the class activities are organized.62. Why does teach students separately?A. Because single-sex classes are popular in .B. Because students may be more concentrated in single-sex classes.C. Because girls tend to look down upon boys in mixed classe s.D. Because it is a private and expensive school.63. According to Kathy Couture, what is the disadvantage of a mixed class?A. Students are not interested in their curriculums.B. Students may be disturbed by the opposite sex in their stu dy.C. Girls are often absent from math and science classes.D. Students have fewer chances to have tests.64. What is the point of Janet Hyde’s statement on single-sex classes?A. Single-sex classes do not improve boys’ speaking ability.B. Single-sex classes lead to worse academic performance.C. Single-sex classes harm the students in their future study and work.D. Single-sex classes do not help students’ physical development in their childhood .65. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Single-sex classes have the edge over mixed classes.B. In single-sex classes boys can learn languages better.C. Mixed classes have the obvious advantage over single-sex classesD. Effects of separated education remains to be assessed furt herCEnergy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you t hink so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has b een the dream of American president for decades, and never m ore so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil pric e shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great rec ession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concept s that are rarely though through. What is it we want independen ce from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that o ld from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels c ause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast ar eas of the are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environm ental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy productio n in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficien cy, and when we buy things from places that have lower produc tion costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the is also a large exporter of oil products, sell ing about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to abo ut 90 countries.There is no question that the imports a great deal of energy an d, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. Wh en that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies andhigher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic b enefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world m arket and when we engage in energy trade around the world.66. What does the author say about energy independence for ?A.It sounds very attractive. C.It will bring oil prices down.B.It ensures national security. D.It has long been everyone’s dr eam.67. What does the author think of biofuels?A.They keep ’s economy running healthily.B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D.They cause serious damage to the environment.68. Why does rely heavily on oil imports?A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C.It wants to keep its own environment complete.D. Its own oil production falls short of demand.69. What does the author say about oil trade?A. It proves profitable to both sides.B.It improves economic efficiency.C. It makes for economic prosperity.D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.70. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To stress the importance of energy conservation.B.To excite Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.C.To defend ’s dependence on oil imports.D.To explain the increase of international oil trade.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered bla nks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people who are j ust trying to lose weight. However, for most people who are ove rweight, the results are so minimal (微小的) that they will give up long before achieving any realistic resu lts. It usually turns out that the programs are practically useless. You lose weight for a while, only to gain back more weight whe n you stop your weight loss program. This is because such prog rams are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98 %. Isn't there a natural weight loss solution? Well, the only wayto lose weight naturally is the good old-fashioned way, which includes proper diet and frequent exercis e.Often, we eat far more than we'd actually need simply because we've been trained to clean our plates. By reducing portion size s, we can lose weight without changing the foods we eat. Try us ing a smaller plate, which will make portions look larger. When dining out, ask for a to-go (外卖) box before you start eating, and pack away half of your mea l for later.You can lose weight naturally by making sensible substitutions i n your cooking and meal choices. For example, try substituting l ow-fat salad dressings（调味品）; many taste just as good, if not better, as their hi-calorie cousins. When cooking, use fat-free cooking spray on your pans instead of butter or fat. You ca n easily preserve flavor while enjoying natural weight loss.A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase the amount of exercise you get every day. However, this doesn't n ecessarily mean spending hours at the gym or in front of a weig ht loss video. Increase your exercise levels naturally by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or by washing your car by hand insteadof running it through the automat. There are even exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk. All of these activities can burn extra calories without taking up too much time.Actually only natural weight loss can be permanent and it also may help to improve your overall fitness, and decrease your ris k of falling diseases caused by excess（额外的）weight, such as diabetes（糖尿病) and heart disease.Title: 71Ⅰ.

Answer the questions a ccording to the information given in the passage.A recent national Retail Federation Survey found that nearly 72 percent of Americans plan on celebrating Father's Day this year according to a report in the Orlando Business Journal.And shoppers expect to spend an average of $99. 65 this ye ar—more than two dollars more than they spent on Mother's Day. It is the first time in the 3-year-old survey for Father's Day spending to be higher than that on Mother's Day.Just under 45 percent of folks plan on giving Dad a card, 22 percent to take him out for dinner and 20 percent to buy clothes . Fifteen percent will give home improvement or gardening tools or appliances. About 14 percent are choosing gift certificates a nd 12 percent are handing Dad either music or books.Women will spend more than men. The average woman plans t o spend $101. 38 for Father's Day, while men will spend an ave rage $ 70. 89. That is because many women plan on buying for both their husbands and their own fathers.Those in the 25 to 44 age range will be the biggest spenders, with an average spending of $ 130.Dads are gaining popularity in terms of spending patterns by loved ones. In 2005, consumers planned to spend just $ 52. 30 on Father's Day.But the increased spending on gifts still leaves Dad with one bill to pay—the phone bill. Father's Day is traditionally the No.1 day of the y ear for collect phone calls（对方付费电话).Jack McMaster, AT&T product management director, said in anews release that year after year the trend is the same."It's probably been happening since Father's Day was first ce lebrated informally, some 70 years ago," McMaster said. Brenda Wall, a family psychologist in , explained that children r elate differently to parents based on their gender and roles in th e family."We've always looked to Mom for love and care." Wall said "But when we look to Dad, it's usually something that relates to pow er, business, or money."81. How will 22 percent of Americans celebrate Father's Day?

According to United States requirements, life preservers must be simple in design, reversible( 可翻转的), capable of being quickly adjusted to fitthe uninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support thewearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should beretained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it shouldbe reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made ofmaterials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be noteasily set on fire. The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is the most important thing, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated individuals even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life preserver should be reversible so that it is nearly impossible to set it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life preserver should also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.56. The passage is mainly about_____________.A. the uses of life preserversB. the design of life preserversC. the materials for life preserversD. the buoyancy of life preservers57. According to the passage, a life preserver should be first of all, _________.A . adjustable B. comfortable C. self-evident D. self-righting58. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to be made ______.A. with as few strings as possibleB. capable of being worn on both sidesC. according to each wearer's sizeD. comfortable and light to wear59. By ―the uninitiated individual‖ (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ______.A. who has not been instructed how to use a life preserverB. who has a little experience in using a life preserverC. who uses a life preserver without permissionD. who becomes nervous before a disasterBTelevision has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people’s lives. It alte rs people’s ways of seeing the world; in many ways, itsupports and sustains (维持) modern life.Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, themajor transmitter of culture, and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what canbe seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident thattelevision is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programmingdoes not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rathermaintains and encourages the life as it exists.The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.60. According to the author, American television is poor in quality because _________.A. it is controlled by radio companiesB. the programs have to be developed partly for economic reasonsC. advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideasD. it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radio61. In the author’s view, American TV should _________.A. be entertaining and attractiveB. reflect society and attract societyC. attract as many viewers as possibleD. change with the development of society62. Based on the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. TV has become a must in the American’s life.B. One can expect to improve his understanding significantly from watching TV.C. American TV is important to most people as it affects their life in many ways.D. American TV nowadays has some different standards from the past.63.

Her son, Guy BJohnson, confirmed the news in a statement. He said Angelou"passed away quietly in her home" sometime before 8 am onWednesday.Angelou’s failing health was reported as recently as Tuesday,when she canceled an appearance honoring her with a Beacon ofLife Award for ―health reasons‖. The ceremony was part of th e2014 MLB Beacon Award Luncheon, in Houston, Texas, part ofMajor League Baseball’s Civil Rights Games. Last month, forcedto cancel an appearance at a library in Arkansas, she wrote: "An unexpected condition put me into the hospital. I will be getting better and the time will come when I canreceive another invitation from my state and you will recognize me for I shall be the tall Black lady smiling. "Angelou was born Marguerite Annie Johnson, in St Louis, Missouri, in 1928.She survived several personal trials: she was a child of the Depression, grew up in the segregated(种族隔离的) south, and gave birth as a teenager. She wrote seven autobiographies, including the 1969 memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and was a playwright, director and novelist.I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings was a condemnation(谴责) of the racial discrimination she experienced during her childhood. "If growing up is painful for the southern black girl," she wrote, "being aware of her displacement is the rust(铁锈) on the razor that threatens the throat. "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” has had a wide appeal and continues to appear on school and university reading lists in the US and the UK.In 1993, she read her poem On the Pulse of the Morning at President Clinton's first inauguration(就职演说), a performance that made the poem a bestseller. The poem celebrates the diversity of ethnic groups in the US, and calls on the nation to leave behind cynicism and look forward to a new pride in itself, and a new belief for the country. Clinton on Wednesday said he would "always be grateful for all the years of friendship that followed. America has lost a national treasure, and Hillary and I a beloved friend."Angelou was a long-time Clinton supporter. One month before his inauguration, she told the New York Times: ―Since the election, I have found it easier to wake up in the morning.‖ And her loyalty to Hillary Clinton has been steadfast, even as Barack Obama campaigned to be America's first black president.The mayor of Winston-Salem, Allen Joines, said the town would probably remember Angelou best for her commitment to health and theatre. She supported the founder of the National Black Theater Festival, and eventually became its first chairperson in 1989. In 2012, the Maya Angelou Women’s Health and Wellness Center opened in the city. Despite her many accomplishments, the mayor said small moments seemed to touch the poet. In April 2008, the town threw Angelou an 80th birthday party. Despite entertainers and speakers present at the party, the mayor said, ―The thing that seemed to touch her the most was a group of littl e kids.‖68.
