Which play will you go to if you are interested in American history?A. Animals Out of Paper.B. The Audience.C. Hamilton.D. O n the Twentieth Century.BIf you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently began to pay careful attention to your needs and never let itself grow. When mind loosens its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think ＂What happens next?＂, ＂Why can＇t I think?＂, ＂Why am I always given the difficult problems?＂ Well this is the result of our own karma（宿命）of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.Hunger of the mind can be actually settled through extensive reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take help of reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your ＂How to?＂ questions. Once you read a book, you just don＇t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes（解码）it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing lout creativity. The more the number of books you read, the more your mind will open up. Also this improves your speaking skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.4. What does the author mean by saying that our mind is hungry?A. We don＇t read books.B. Our creativity gets a full stop.C. We don＇t have a good memory.D. We don＇t know what to do next.5. One＇s mind is hungry because he/she .A. can＇t work out things wellB. loosens the freedom to growC. is mentally busy with many absurd thingsD. begins to pay careful attention to his needs6. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of reading?A. Helping you develop your creativity.B. Helping you enlarge your vocabulary.C. Helping you improve your speaking skills.D. Helping you run your eyes through the lines.7. By reading more, we are sure to .A. perform better mentally in the futureB. dream the wildest dreamsC. store books in your mindD. speak English fluentlyCPushy parents and teachers who ＂hothouse＂ the under-5s risk causing damage to the children＇s long-term development, a leading education expert said.Lilian Katz, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, told that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the ageof 5,but children whose first year at school was stimulating（使人兴奋的）outstripped them years later.The findings suggest that the government＇s structured approach to early-years learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States, France and Germany, and at 7 Finland and Sweden.Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were＂boring children to tears＂. Much academic teaching required children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context, she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions.＂Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children arc followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction. ＂She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows, drawing or running a pretend shop in the classroom.8. According to the passage, those who ＂hothouse＂the under-5s would probably______.A. prefer a lot of interaction and stimulation while teachingB. teach in a lively way to motivate kids＇ interestC. push the kids to memorize pieces of informationD. care about the kids＇ physical development9. What does the underlined word ＂outstripped＂ in Paragraph 2 mean?A. did better thanB. looked down uponC. caught up withD. performed worse than10. The message the author wants to deliver through the passage is that formal teaching______.A. can start at different times in different countriesB. should not be started too earlyC. is best carried out in Finland and SwedenD. should include teaching children social and manual skills11. Which of the following is NOT the opinion of Lilian Katz?A. Children should be taught through first-hand experience.B. Learning in a mixed-age class is good for children.C. Running a shop can help children get good marks.D. Puppet shows and drawing are useful ways in teaching children.DLegend has it that the performing arts began when a Greek singer named Thespis invented tragedy. In 534 B.C., Thespis was performing a hymn（赞美诗）to the god Dionysius. Such hymns, called dithyrambs, were usually sung by a lead singer and a chorus. Thespis added a speaking actor. Performances at the annual Dionysian festival soon included plays with three actors as well as the standard hymns. By 449 B.C., the Greeks were giving prizes to the best actor and the best playwright at the festival.A modern word for actor—thespian recognizes the debt today＇s drama owes to Thespis.Performing in a Greek play required physical strength. Because each play had only three actors, performers had to play several roles. Chorus members both sang and danced. Being in the chorus for the many performances given at a festival was said to be as demanding as competing in the Olympic Games.The Theater of Dionysius in Athens could hold 20,000 people. Even those in the front rows were quite a distance from the actors. Performers used grand gestures and wore masks so that they could be seen by everyone in their huge audience. Tragic （悲剧的）actors wore long clothes and masks. Comic actors wore short costumes that let them move freely and masks designed to make them look ugly or silly. Sometimes the chorus were dressed up to look like animals.Another legacy（遗产）of the ancient Greeks is the deus ex machina, or ＂god from the machine＂. If a playwright was having trouble with the plot, he might have a god appear through a trap door（天窗）.The god would rescue the main character and find a solution to any difficult plot situations. Modem writers might not call on gods, but they do sometimes use unlikely ways to end a story. A character or an event that brings a complicated plot to an unlikely conclusion is still called deus ex machina.12. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .A. the word ＂thespian＂ means ＂debt＂ in EnglishB. the Dionysian festival was held once a yearC. there were four actors in early Greek dramaD. the first tragedy was performed in 449B.C13. From the passage we can know .A. it was not easy to get a chance to perform in the chorusB. the best actor and the best playwright would be given moneyC. the playwright must play a role in the performanceD. the audience sat very close to actors to have a good view14. According to the passage, one difference between early Greek comedies and tragedies is .A. the actors＇distance from the audienceB. the play＇s beginningC. the number of performersD. the actors＇ clothes15. Deus ex machina is .A. a kind of tragedy popular with ancient audienceB. a type of character that modern writers often write aboutC. a way ancient Greek dramatists used to develop the plotD. a style of performance first used by ancient Greek actors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。

With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying, sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. "Kia ora," he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.My "tribe" was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. "The wheels on the bus go round and round," he got us singing, while he circuited a roundabout three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was — Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as "the land of the long white cloud". Can I say "Kia ora, Aotearoa?" You bet I can.4.How were the visitors greeted in the tribe?A.The soldiers made a palm leaf road.B.The soldiers touched their noses.C.The soldiers shook sticks fiercely.D.The soldiers made noise with shut eyes.5.Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?A.Kia ora.B. Haka.C. Hangi.D. Tamaki.6.What does the author think of the driver?A.He was good at singing.B.He made the journey memorable.C.He was not familiar with the road.D.He performed well on a TV show.7.What is the best title for the text?A.A taste of Maori cultureB.Hello, New ZealandC.The honour of being a tribe chiefD.The best of New ZealandCCOur local Community Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town. I have been a member for four years now and I’ve taken part in a lot of interesting projects. These include fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have organized sports competitions and we even made a video.But it isn’t all just enjoyment, we have also started doing social work to help people in our neighbourhood. We have organized activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a social support group to help young people stop smoking.We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits to the local old people’s home. This idea came from a school visit to an old people’ home. My class spent an afternoon at a home and everyone found the visit very rewarding.The old people at the home were very excited by our visit. They were very talkative(健谈的) and they told us their personal stories. During our visit ,the home was filled with the sound of laughter. We sang songs and played games with the old people and had tea together. But we realized that life wasn’t always easy. Some of them were in poor health and were very unhappy. They couldn’t go outside the visits by children brought some sunshine into their lives.Many young people like me do not live with our grandparents and we have very little contact with elderly people. As a result, many young people don’t know what they are like and we have a lot of wrong ideas about them. We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in their homes. After this visit, my friends and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives.Since the creation of our visiting group, over twenty volunteers(志愿者) have joined us. Up to now, we have organized three group evenings and a concert. But it is the individual(单独的) visits which are the most important. Club members regularly visit old people and everyone finds the experience rich and rewarding.8.The writer .A.works at an old people’s homeB. lives with her grandparents.C. lives in an old people’s home.D. regularly visits old people.9.The Community Youth Club .A.only organizes leisure activities for young peopleB.has made a video about life in an old people’s homeC.has arranged a school visit to the local old people’s homeD.mainly does social work.10.The writer thinks that many children today .A.are not interested in how old people liveB. do not want to get to know old peopleC. have very little contact with old peopleD. live with their grandparents11.The Phrase ”bring some sunshine into their lives” means to .A.take the old people to the beachB. only visit the elderly on sunny daysC. make the old people feel happyD. take the old people outsideDThere is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called "the silent treatment" can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry’s website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.12.Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?A.To show the power of words.B. To introduce an opposite view.C. To prove the author’s argument.D. To show ancient people’s wisdom.13.What did the subjects have in common?A.They were hurt by unkind words.B. They performed poorly in imaging tests.C. They had their brain slightly damaged.D. They experienced no physical abuse at home.14.What will be discussed in the next paragraph?ments on the findings.B. Approaches to further studies.C. Suggestions to parents.D. Different opinions on the matter.15.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The way we speak matters.B. Verbal violence should be stopped.C. Unkind words hurt the brain.D. Words are worse than sticks and stones.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。

News.C. Entertainment.D. Sports.BAfter watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why her answer to the question,＂What do you do?＂is always, ＂Oh, I’m just a housewife.＂JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and clean-up, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings, leading a scout troop, playing a taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist, doing vo lunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.Why is it that so many mothers like mine regard themselves as second-class citizens or something similar? Where has this stereotype come from? Has our society made ＂going to work＂outside the house more important than what a housewife must face each day? I would be curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up and food in the house would run out. There would be no clean towels when needed. Walking and bus riding would increase.I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework. There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after cleaning out all the dog hairs from the bathtub.

Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered there with lots of dancing parities. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.Loulan was first ＂discovered＂by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10, 000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some dried-up rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless ＂forests＂of mounds (小丘) which aren’t easily seen in other parts of the world.

And even though they had been working together at the local store for more than one year, they didn’t realize they were mother and daughter.One day at work, Terry told Jill about the search for her mother. Jill told her she knew a man who could help. Then Terry gave Jill a picture of herself as a baby.

Every afternoon at nearly 2 o’clock, she runs to a store at her school. But she is not running to buy things. Instead, she works as the storekeeper.“I didn’t know that it took so much work. I’ve never really done something like this,”In fact, she is one of the 12 volunteer staff members at Bison Bargains. It is the school’s first store run by students. It started on Feb.22, and it opens each school day during break time from 2 to 2:30 p.m. It mainly sells stationery(文具）and snacks.The school wants to provide the students with a real-life business experience through this. Christian Ilg, 14, a ninth-grader, was really surprised by how hard it was not to make mistakes and do the transactions(交易）.“It’s kind of a challenge to learn all the information on the lists and remember all the prices of the products,”To learn about business, the students took a special class. They learnt how to use money and some simple business rules.The school did a survey on what products students would buy from a school store. In the future, they plan to sell things made by the students themselves. For example, students can sell their homemade pencil boxes.49. When does Mahalya go to work at the school store?A.

It was nearing the New Year when I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling to my Spanish friend’s house in a taxi, I noticed the tall gates of what seemed like a large park. My friend just happened to live next to this park. I was surprised by its size and design.There are endless amounts of restaurants and bars of all cultures to choose from. If you are really into sightseeing, 1 hope you have rechargeable batteries(充电电池) for your digital camera because it is really impossible to see everything in a week’s time. From the number of art, science, and historical museums to the parks, buildings, bull fights, and amazing land features, sightseeing can easily tire you out.What I liked best about life in Madrid was the fact that if you are sad with school work and want to have some fun, you can easily go out. The night life never stops. The people are friendly. You can meet people and practice the Spanish language while having fun at the same time. What I liked least was the fact that many people smoke in the streets. I didn’t like that much, and coming from the U.S., I was used to a big breakfast, and while living with an actual Spanish family, I wasn’t really satisfied.I think I have become more independent over my time here. Living in a big city like Madrid I found that it is necessary to plan ahead and schedule future events. There is so much to see, not just the Spanish World, but the European World as well.52. We can learn from the first paragraph that the authorA. met his Spanish friend at the airportB. took a taxi to visit his Spanish friendC. was shocked by his friend’s houseD. was invited to a park.53.

AMy Favourite Travel BooksThe Old Patagonian Express by Paul TherouxChoosing my favorite Paul Theroux book is like picking my favorite place in the world: It’s impossible to settle on just one. But The Old Patagonian Express, which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston , USA to southern Argentina, is right up there at the top of my list. Theroux has a wicked sense of humor. He brings so much wisdom and experience to his travels.Walden by Henry David ThoreauIf he were alive today, Thoreau would probably frown if he heard someone refer to Walden as a travel book. But I regard it as a travel-writing masterpiece. I went into the woods, he writes, because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. That’s the same spirit of discovery that defines so many great contemporary travel records.The Dharma Bums by Jack KerouacLike so many people, I fell i n love with Kerouac’s novels in my late teens and early 20s. On the Road gets all the press, but I always love The Dharma Bums. Kerouac beautifully captures the romance of California trains, Berkeley, and backpacking in the Sierras. It’s hard to read this book without wanting to leave for the mountains to brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire.Confucius Lives Next Door by T. R. ReidThis is sort of A Year in Provence in Japan, only the cross-cultural differences are much greater. Reid and his family moved to Tokyo when he became the chief for The Washington Post, enabling him to uncover truths about the country. Among the highlights are his observations about Japanese schools, including Yodobashi No. 6 Elementary School, where his daughters were greeted by the whole school staff.1.Which book enables readers to experience great cross-cultural differences?A. Confucius Lives Next Door.B. The Old Patagonian Express.C. On the Road.D. Walden.2.What will people feel after reading Jack Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums?A. A strong desire to follow.B. A love for novels.C. A wish to learn cooking.D. An excitement to write poems.3.What is the feature of most modern travel books according to the author?A. Experience.B. Observation.C. Culture.D. Discovery.BMost students, when asked about their best graduation(毕业) gift, would probably reply, “ A car”, or “Money for a house”. Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a distant village in Tibet.Cai, a student at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, at first planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. It turned out cycling on a plateau(高原) was quite difficult. And it has kept changing his opinion on life. Cai’s hands even became painful while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. Little oxygen made him feel sick and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that was on the line,” said Cai.However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’ an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a volunteer in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked weak.It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,” he said, “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.”Cai was moved by the girls’ story. Their situation is worse and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teacher. “1 want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.4.What is Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift?A. Cycling from Sichuan to Tibet.B. Receiving money for a house.C. Being a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan school.D. Owning a new car and travelling around.5.What is Cai Kaiyuan’s journey to Tibet like?A. Special and comfortable.B. Dangerous but meaningful.C. Relaxing but unexpected.D. Freezing cold and boring.6.The underlined phrase "on the line" in the second paragraph means ?A. in a hurryB. at riskC. making a phone callD. surfing the Internet7.The purpose of writing this passage is to .A.tell us about an unusual graduation giftB.introduce a dangerous journey to usC.give advice on how to travel to TibetD.encourage us to be a teacher in TibetCCalorie(卡路里)counts are everywhere. They appear on restaurant menus, milk boxes and bags of baby carrots. Grocery stores display lots of foods packaged with bright and colorful “low-calorie” claims.A calorie is the measure of stored energy in something---energy that can be released as heat when burned. The term calorie on food labels is short for kilocalorie. A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But what does boiling water have to do with your body’s release of energy from food? After all, your body doesn’t start boiling after eating. It does, however, chemically break down food into sugars. The body then releases the energy to fuel processes and activities throughout each hour of the day.Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs(碳水化合物). A process called metabolism(新陈代谢) first cuts these into small pieces; Proteins break down into amino acids(氨基酸), fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxygen to break down these materials to release heat.Most of this energy goes toward powering the heart, lungs, brain and other vital processes. Exercise and other activities also use energy. If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in the liver(肝脏), and then later as body fat.In general, someone should eat the same amount of energy each day as his or her body will use. If the balance is off, they will win lose or gain weight. It’s very easy to eat more calories than the body needs. Having two 200- calorie donuts in addition to regular meals could easily put teens over their daily needs. At the same time, it’s nearly impossible to balance overeating with extra exercise. Running a mile burns just 100 calories. Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the energy in and out balanced.8.How much energy does it need to lift the temperature of 5 kilograms of water by 10 degree Celsius?A. One kilocalorie.B. Five kilocalories.C. Ten kilocalories.D. Fifty kilocalories.9.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How the nutrients are classified.B. How oxygen works in human body.C. How the food types affect metabolism.D. How the body gets heat from nutrients.10.What does the underlined word “hoard” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Store.B. Remove.C. Replace.D. Burn.11.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.It is good for our health to do exercises.B.It’s really difficult to control our weight.C.It is important to control the calories we take.D.It is good for our body to eat the same type of nutrients.DHe wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of unpleasant and violent stimulants (刺激物)”. And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the writing of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a be neficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection.Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a modern translation. And according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more challenging writing and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the simple readings.The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.The brain responses of 30 volunteers were monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form. In one example, volunteers read a line from King Lear, “A father and a gracious age d man: him have you madded”, before reading the simpler, “A father and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged”. Shakespeare’s use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward version.The next part of the research is looking at the extent to which poetry can affect psychology and provide benefit. Volunteers’ brains were scanned while reading four lines by Wordsworth, and four “translated” lines were also provided. The result showed that the first version caused a greater degree of brain activity.“Poetry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive (认知的),” said Professor Davis, leader of the researchers.12.The words by William Wordsworth in Paragraph 1 are used to .A. prove the poet’s pointB. introduce the topicC. serve as an exampleD. stress the importance of reading13.What is the beneficial effect of reading classics on the mind?A.

AMy Favourite Travel BooksThe Old Patagonian Express by Paul TherouxChoosing my favorite Paul Theroux book is like picking my favorite place in the world: It’s impossible to settle on just one. But The Old Patagonian Express, which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston , USA to southern Argentina, is right up there at the top of my list. Theroux has a wicked sense of humor. He brings so much wisdom and experience to his travels.Walden by Henry David ThoreauIf he were alive today, Thoreau would probably frown if he heard someone refer to Walden as a travel book. But I regard it as a travel-writing masterpiece. I went into the woods, he writes, because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not liv ed. That’s the same spirit of discovery that defines so many great contemporary travel records.The Dharma Bums by Jack KerouacLike so many people, I fell in love with Kerouac’s novels in my late teens and early 20s. On the Road gets all the press, but I always love The Dharma Bums. Kerouac beautifully captures the romance of California trains, Berkeley, andbackpacking in the Sierras. It’s hard to read this book without wanting to leave for the mountains to brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire.Confucius Lives Next Door by T. R. ReidThis is sort of A Year in Provence in Japan, only the cross-cultural differences are much greater. Reid and his family moved to Tokyo when he became the chief for The Washington Post, enabling him to uncover truths about the country. Among the highlights are his observations about Japanese schools, including Yodobashi No. 6 Elementary School, where his daughters were greeted by the whole school staff.1.Which book enables readers to experience great cross-cultural differences?A. Confucius Lives Next Door.B. The Old Patagonian Express.C. On the Road.D. Walden.2.What will people feel after reading Jack Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums?A. A strong desire to follow.B. A love for novels.C. A wish to learn cooking.D. An excitement to write poems.3.What is the feature of most modern travel books according to the author?A. Experience.B. Observation.C. Culture.D. Discovery.BMost students, when asked about their best graduation(毕业) gift, would probably reply, “ A car”, or “Money for a house”. Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a distant village in Tibet.Cai, a student at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, at first planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. It turned out cycling on a plateau(高原) was quite difficult. And it has kept changing his opinion on life. Cai’s hands even became painful while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. Little oxygen made him feel sick and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that was on the line,” said Cai.However, he also gaine d something unexpected. At Ya’ an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a volunteer in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked weak.It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautif ul local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve theirMandarin,” he said, “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.”Cai was moved by the girls’ story. Their situation is worse and the local pe ople have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teacher. “1 want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.4.What is Cai Ka iyuan’s graduation gift?A. Cycling from Sichuan to Tibet.B. Receiving money for a house.C. Being a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan school.D. Owning a new car andtravelling around.5.What is Cai Kaiyuan’s journey to Tibet like?A. Special and comfortable.B. Dangerous but meaningful.C. Relaxing but unexpected.D. Freezing cold and boring.6.The underlined phrase "on the line" in the second paragraph means ?A. in a hurryB. at riskC. making a phone callD. surfing the Internet7.The purpose of writing this passage is to .A.tell us about an unusual graduation giftB.introduce a dangerous journey to usC.give advice on how to travel to TibetD.encourage us to be a teacher in TibetCCalorie(卡路里)counts are everywhere. They appear on restaurant menus, milk boxes and bags of baby carrots.Grocery stores display lots of foods packaged with bright and colorful “low-calorie” claims.A calorie is the measure of stored energy in something---energy that can be released as heat when burned. The term calorie on food labels is short for kilocalorie.A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But what does boiling water have to do with your body’s release of energy from food? After all, your body doesn’t start boiling after eating. It does, however, chemically break down food into sugars. The body then releases the energy to fuel processes and activities throughout each hour of the day.Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs(碳水化合物). Aprocess called metabolism(新陈代谢) first cuts these into small pieces; Proteins break down into amino acids(氨基酸), fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxygen to break down these materials to release heat.Most of this energy goes toward powering the heart, lungs, brain and other vital processes. Exercise and other activities also use energy. If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in theliver(肝脏), and then later as body fat.In general, someone should eat the same amount of energy each day as his or herbody will use. If the balance is off, they will win lose or gain weight. It’s very easy to eat more calories than the body needs. Having two 200- calorie donuts in addition to regular meals could easily put teens over their daily needs. At the same time, it’s nearly impossible to balance overeating with extra exercise. Running a mile burns just 100 calories. Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the energy in and out balanced.8.How much energy does it need to lift the temperature of 5 kilograms of water by 10 degree Celsius?A. One kilocalorie.B. Five kilocalories.C. Ten kilocalories.D. Fifty kilocalories.9.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How the nutrients are classified.B. How oxygen works in human body.C. How the food types affect metabolism.D. How the body gets heat fromnutrients.10.What does the underlined word “hoard” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Store.B. Remove.C. Replace.D. Burn.11.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.It is good for our health to do exercises.B.It’s really difficult to control our weight.C.It is important to control the calories we take.D.It is good for our body to eat the same type of nutrients.DHe wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of unpleasant and violent stimulants (刺激物)”. And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the writing of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like hada beneficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection.Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a modern translation. And according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more challenging writing and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the simple readings.The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.The brain responses of 30 volunteers were monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form. In one example, volunteers read a line from King Lear, “A father and a gracious aged man: him haveyou madded”, before reading the simpler, “A father and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged”. Shakespeare’s use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward version.The next part of the research is looking at the extent to which poetry can affect psychology and provide benefit. Volunteers’ brains were scanned while reading four lines by Wordsworth, and four “translated” lines were also provided. The result showed that the first version caused a greater degree of brain activity.“Poetry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive (认知的),” said Professor Davis, leader of the researchers.12.The words by William Wordsworth in Paragraph 1 are used to .A. prove the poet’s pointB. introduce the topicC. serve as an exampleD. stress the importance of reading13.What is the beneficial effect of reading classics on the mind?A. It excites the reader’s mind.B. It reflects the reader’s experience.C. It catches the reader’s attention.D. It monitors the reader’sbrain activity. 14．What method is mainly used in the experiment?A. Comparing responses.B. Analyzing data.C. Observing activities.D.

Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends— they will remain silent, waiting to hearwhat you have to say. In the class, you must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.41. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is____________.16．noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious42.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religiousservices(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves(墓). On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings andmemories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries（面包房）, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.45.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A Parents bring up childrenB Parents give love and care to childrenC Parents educate children to be good persons.D Parents pass away before children grow up46.What do you know from the passage?A Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC Not all the children respect their parentsD Fathers are not as important as mothers at home47.Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A It only has two kinds of color.B It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D People can wear carnations only on the third Sunday in June.48.What do you think “florists” do?A They sell flowersB They made bread or pastryC They offer enough room for having family parties.D They sell special candy fo r Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.3.Advertisement★Share Flat.

Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over ＄600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admire it.However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elde r brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expensive of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have bought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable fo r western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.53. The passage may be ____.A. a story from a magazineB. a piece of news from a newspaperC. a report on the radioD. a speech to the classmates54. The author （作者）showed all these objects EXCEPT_____ in the passage.A. the blonde wigB. the expensive blouseC. the coolest trousersD. the school uniform55. What does the author （作者）want to tell us in last paragraph?A. Wigs were always popularB. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigsC. Fashion is actually a businessD. Business often depends on the production of wigs.五、单词拼写单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）61．S______ is the system by which some people are owned by others.62．Fifty years ago, mixed-race marriages were f________.63．The police a_____ Rosa Parks, a black woman who refused to give her seat to a white man..64．Do you know which big cities are at the same a______ as Rio de Janeiro?.65．There are many café, shops and restaurants on Copacabana’s main a________ .66．It is very relaxing to take a d______ in the pool in summer.67．There is a w______ belief among bioengineers that it will be one day be possible to create life under laboratory conditions. .68．It is easier for a physical wound to heal than a m______ one.69．Although Sam left school more than ten years ago, he still keeps in touch with his f_____ classmates . 70．Some people are g______ for money and some for power. .六、短文改错短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误.对标题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右边的横线上划（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。
