GenkBHow many times have we expressed how rude young people are for texting while having a conversation? They try to fix eyes on their smartphone screen while nodding. What goes through your mind is “how rude they are!”Have we forgotten some of the old school manners that our parents, grandparents, and teachers taught us – manners that have nothing to do with a mobile device or iPad, but everything to do with long-forgotten Golden Rules we were raised with?When I was growing up, there was etiquette(礼仪) to coughing. When coughing, we were told to turn our head away and block off our mouth. This might sound amusing to many young people. But if we didn’t follow these etiquettes, we would get a quick reminder(提醒) to the back of our head. When we were given something, and forgot to say “thank you”, elders would seriously remind us, “aren’t you forgetting to say something”, which was immediately followed by a “thank you”.Maybe technology has affected our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days we like. It seems as if we have thrown out manners and etiquette with the bathwater. Simple etiquette is missing in society. A thank-you-note for a gift you have received all fall into the same box of manners. People are just cold these days because we are on the run every day in the world.In the work environment have you ever come across a sign: “Your mother doesn’t work here, clean up by yourself”? We often hear people say, the younger generation have no manners.I think people in general irrespective(无关的)of age have lost their manners. We’ve allowed bad manners to go unchecked. We simply stand bad behavior.In a world of more good manners, less closing of doors in our faces, more space given, and more “thank you” or “please” exchanged, our younger generation will have an improved quality of life.4.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To point out young people’s bad manners.B．To introduce the main topics of the text.C．To stress the importance of cell phone.D．To explain the effect of cell phones on people.5.In the passage, Golden Rules refer to_______.A.modern family mannersB. rules observed at schoolC.rules everyone has to followD. etiquette started by oldergeneration6.Based on the passage, when one person coughs, blocking off his mouth, __________.A.the younger person will feel it necessaryB.the younger person will feel it funnyC.the older people will think little of himD.the older people will teach him a lesson7.According to the author, young people have no manners mainly because of ______________.第二节the parents and teachers’ improper act and attitude B. the fast developed technologyC. the people’s attitude towards running awayD. the busy lifestyles peoplehave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。

How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?their hands only 4 times a day - half of the number doctors advise.0 times a day - often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most importantly, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.1.

About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.2. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands _________ .A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD.eight times a day3. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.4. The text probably comes from _________.A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book reviewD. anofficial documentBThe English language is full of phrases about the weather. Some of these phrases are easy to understand, but others are not really about the weather at all. If you say you “hit r ough weather”, you may not be struck by a real storm, but you do experience difficulties or problems. If you don’t know what such phrases mean, they might leave you “in a fog (雾)”!In English, you can “shoot the breeze”, or have an informal chat. But thing s can also be a breeze. If you take an exam and find it very easy, you’d tell your friends: “It was a breeze!” The wind can also bring information. You can “get wind of” a piece of news, and if someone“knows which way the wind blows”, they have a good ide a about how things will work out. But don’t“throw caution (警惕) to the wind”—that means taking a great risk!Clouds sometimes bring rain, and in English they often represent problems or difficulties. If someone “sees a cloud on the horizon (地平线)”, there may be problems ahead. And if someone is “under a cloud”, then people think the person might have done something wrong. But clouds are not always bad; in fact, people say that “every cloud has a silver lining”. This means that there is a good side to every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. You may even end up “on cloud nine”, which means you are very happy! But some people have their “heads in the clouds”, not paying attention to reality.No one likes to be stuck in the rain or storm, so it’s no sur prise that phrasesabout them are generally negative. When someone says “it never rains but it pours”, they are complaining (抱怨) that when things go wrong, they go very wrong. People who talk about “weathering a storm” just want to get through a difficult period or situation.5. It may be dangerous when you _____.A. know which way the wind blowsB. find that something is a breezeC. get wind of a piece of newsD. throw caution to the wind6. If you look at something in a positive way, you may say _____.A. you are under a cloudB. your head is in the cloudsC. every cloud has a silver liningD. you see a cloud on the horizon7. Phrases like “it never rains but it pours” and “weathering a storm” are related tosomething _____.A. changeableB. unfavorableC. acceptableD. unbelievable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。

A“ Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped outside the house. There was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare（赤裸的）feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle（包袱）of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.1.

AIs It Bad to Cross Your Legs When You Sit?Crossing your legs is an extremely common hab it; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increase s resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on th e floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minuteor two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.1.According to para 2, we can infer that___________A.it’s no big deal to cross our legs for less than 15 minutes.B.we will feel uncomfortable at the moment we cro ss the legs.C.we should take a walk every hour after sitting still.D.crossing legs while sitting makes it harder to circulate our blood.2.How many health problems can be caused by crossing legs according to the text?A. 2 B3 C.4 D. 53. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. ① B ① C. ① D. ①②③②③②③④②③④⑤④⑤⑤④⑤BMicrosoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intellige nce to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not stable under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, aresearcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To ease the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, stable, portable and easy to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.The sticker shows four grids(网格) of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids(网格) 24the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.3.Which of the following is the correct order of how the app works?a.The sticker puts forward four grids of letter.b.The listerner points the phone at the speakerc.The speaker uses a chart to determine which eye m ovement to make.d.The users use their eye movements to select the grids of letters they want tochoose.A.bacdB. bcadC. bdcaD.

Inexpensive5.Which can be the best title of this text?A.A Helpful Communicator For ALSB.Smartphone App Helps ALS Sufferers Speak With The ir EyesC.The Greatest communicative App For ALSD.Smartphone--based Gaze Gesture communication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。

AThough beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake ParavaniLake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are not aware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content.1．What is special about Lake Van?A. Its water is high in salt.B. It is a volcanic lake.C. It is globally the largest lake.D. It is surrounded by mountains. 2．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?A. Lack of medicine.B.

Lake Cildir and Lake Van.D. Lake Van.BSome places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before going there.Whoever likes to chew gum(口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum.Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan(斋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law--no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations-- is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.In Thailand it’s against the law t o drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke ---the local police will stop you.Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.Make sure you know about these laws before your next trip. Better safe than sorry.4. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. How to make your trip around the world safe.B. Why there are strange laws in the world.C. Interesting places you can go to around the world.D. Some strange laws you should know about for your trip.5. If you are driving a car in Thailand, __________.A. the police will play a joke on youB. you should wear your shirt even though it’s hotC. the police will give you tickets costing about $10D. you should always keep your headlights on6. What can we learn from the text?A. The Singaporean government cares a lot about its environment.B. Kissing goodbye at train stations isn’t allowed in France today.C. Tourists in the United Arab Em irates shouldn’t eat in public.D. You can turn your headlights off in daytime in Denmark.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。

AI am a city girl, and my idea of a big animal was a German dog. Meeting Dan changed everything.Early in our dating, he told me of his dream to own a farm.“Don’t cows kick?” I worried when I saw the huge cattle. Dan laughed. “Don’t beafraid,” he said. “Just try milking a few times a day. You’ll get used to them.” Aftersix months, I still was too nervous to try it.One evening I heard the low mooing of the cows in their lot. Then I heard the cows again,but louder. I looked out of the window. A storm was coming. Suddenly I saw a cow running pastthe window. Another cow passed, and a third one moved into the yard. “Dan!” I shouted—then remembered he had gone into town.I rushed back into the house and pulled on my coat. The noise had roused the children, andthey called to me from upstairs. “Stay inside,” I shouted as I went out of the door, “nomatter what!”I was running to the yard. Suddenly the hundred cows turned and were coming in my direction!Beside me there was an old gate leading into an empty lot. I threw myself against the gate.Got it! And all at once the cows entered the lot.When Dan got home, I told him the story. “You rescued a whole herd of cows!” Dan said.Lying in bed beside Dan, I felt safe and comfortable.The next time I went out into the lot, I felt a little bigger beside the cows.

It has three studying sitesCSome birds are masters of crime(犯罪). That means these species steal food from other birds and get away with it. Scientists have long wondered what these birds have in common. A new study suggests that big body size does not predict bad behavior. Instead, it is the size of the birds’ brains that matters most.To learn more about what makes some birds tend toward a life of crime and how they steal food from other birds, scientists analyzed 856 published reports of thieves. Researcher Julie says she started the project after watching birds steal dry dog food out of unattended bowls.She read about some dramatic examples of thieves, including birds that steal food from others flying in midair or bending through the sky. She learned that members of some species disturb other birds until they spit up food in their mouth.Families that steal also tend to eat fish, mice, and other vertebrates(脊椎动物) insteadof just insects. These meatier (多肉的) meals are hard to catch, and they deliver lots of valuable calories, so they are tempting to steal.Finally, birds that steal tend to have big brains in relation to their bodies. That may seem surprising, since human bullies(欺凌弱小者) are often thought to be stronger in size.But for birds, stealing isn’t about strength. It takes a clever brain to get food out of another hungry bird’s claws, especially if that bird is bigger than you are.8. The best title for the passage can be _______.A. Diet Habits of a FeatherB. Hunting Skills of a FeatherC. Brains of a FeatherD. Thieves of a Feather9. What is the key factor of the birds’ stealing food?A. Body size.B. Living environment.C. Brain size.D. Mouth length.10. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. birds’ stealing isn’t related to their environmentB. for birds, stealing is about cleverness and tricksC. birds steal food only from those that are smaller in sizeD. birds that steal have small brains for their bodies第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。

AIn America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.1. According to the text, most students feel ________ when entering the high school.A. excitedB. nervousC. lonelyD. disappointed2. Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?A. There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.B. The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans.C. Summer activities begin before school starts.D. The school office can help new students join school clubs.3. When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?A. Before the eighth grade year starts.B. Right after the high school year starts.C. At the end of their eighth grade yearD. At the beginning of the new term in the high school.4. What is the purpose of this text?A. To tell the new students how to learn in high schoolB. To introduce new schoolsC. To give the teachers some adviceD. To give advice to new high school studentsBThere is an English saying: "Laughter is best medicine." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercises. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition byencouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial(有益的)effects similar to those who are caused by laughter.5. The main idea of the passage is ____________.A. laughter and physical exercises have similar effects.B. smile can produce the same effects as laughterC. pain can be reduced by laughterD. laughter is best medicine6. The underlined word "diminish" is similar to____________.A. testB. stopC. reduceD. increase7. Doctors hold laughter clinics _____________.A. to give better condition to their patientsB. in order to improve patients' healthC. to make patients smile all the timeD. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect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。

To encourage kids to love art.B. To encourage outdoor activities.C. To encourage community service.D. To show the importance of education.BWhat is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists, the better. However, it’s wrong.Language is for the exchange (交流) of ideas and info rmation. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes.People shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote: “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history,but they make language. But a person can only make his own language. It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese learners can learn about grammar, but they shouldn’t focus on it. They should put communication first. Understanding others correctly and expressing themselves freely matter more.5. Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he ______.A．never makes mistakes B．often makes mistakesC．can't avoid making mistakes D．seldom cares about mistakes6．If too many native speakers break a rule，______.A．what they use will become right B．they are against the lawC．they should say sorry to others D．they will become heroes7. Why Bernard Shaw is mentioned in this passage?A. to prove that everybody makes mistakes.B. to prove that foreigners speak English too correctly and they never make mistakes.C. to show that native speakers are not afraid of making mistakesD. to show that foreigners don’t have to be afraid of making mistakes whilespeaking English.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。

AIt’s hard to talk to Dad sometimes. His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too.But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it.Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a much­thought, three­page letter. Dad, a 68­year­old retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”.I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late. I cried because at first, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I j ust had to hit “Send”.We’ve since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven’t been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter.

But what about Tom, the motorbike shop owner, Joe Knight and Karen Berman?Tom, Joe and Karen are all characters in a comic book. But Mr. Knight and Ms. Berman are real people. In 2006, they wrote a book called Financial Intelligence ——a manager’s guide to knowing what the numbers really mean. It was written for people who need to learn quickly about finance (财政). The book explains, in simple ways, often­complex methods of keeping financial information. It became a best­seller.Recently a comic book, which provides the same information as Financial Intelligence in easy­to­understand picture form, is published by Smarter Comics. This book consists of a textbook and a graphic(插画的) novel. It tells the story of Tom, a repairman who must quickly learn how to direct the motorbike repair shop his father founded. Tom has no experience with finance, and is struggling with the business. Joe Knight and Karen Berman help him. Artist Dave Wachter drew pictures for the comic book.Franco Arda, the founder and head of Smarter Comics, formerly worked as an investment banker. He started the company almost three years ago with his own money.He wanted to create educational comics that i ncrease understanding. “I think almost everybody understands the phrase ‘a picture says a thousand words’, so, I mean, probably 90 percent of us grew up with comics and they understand that comics help us to learn a concept much quicker than text alone,” he said. “Within an hour, you can get the idea of finance with this book very quickly and not in a boring way. Once you get these pictures, you get the basic knowledge of finance.”“The new comic book is available in paperback(平装本). There will also be versi ons for iPad and iPhone users,” he added.5. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The development of e­comics.B. A comic book about finance.C. A popular book Financial Intelligence.D. The story of the repairman Tom.6. Which of the following about the “comic book” mentioned in Paragraph 3 is TRUE?A. It was written by Mr. Knight and Ms. Berman.B. It was made for those eager to master finance in a short time.C.

What can we know from the passage?A. Comic book heroes, like Superman, were created by Franco Arda.B. Tom is a character of the book Financial Intelligence.C.
