AThe story all began with a simple announcement from the church wall one Sunday morning. LaSalle Street Church’s pastor, Laura Truax,told his 320 regular members that the church had recently received a large $ 1. 6 million profit in a real estate deal (房地产交易〕 and that she would set aside that amount by 10 percent to divide among her parishioners (教区居民).Each would get a $500 check to do something positive for someone, and someone could be the parishioners themselves. The money came with no conditions attached; parishioners did not have to provide proof of money spent. It just came with the hope that the money would be used for good.LaSalle’s congregation (集会〕is racially and financially diverse; More than 60 percent of members have advanced degrees while about a third live a paycheck-to-paycheck life. Truax had no idea how her experiment would work. She only hoped that it would make her parishioners a part of the giving process and engage them in the church and in their community. So far, her idea seems to be paying off.Checks from LaSalleStreetChurch have been used to fund everything from swall international projects---including a school in the Himalayas, a health clinic in and an irrigation project in Tanzania---to help local families and friends in trouble. One congregant is helping to fund a skateboarding park in Amman, Jordaa, where he lived for many years. Another is using her money to start a scholarship foundation for local kids. Another has used her money to buy winter clothing for the kids at her daughter's school."1 hoped that they would recognize the power they had to bless others and change somebody's life, "Truax told Yahoo News. “I hoped that they would see their connection between their little piece and the bigger thing the church was called to21. Why did Laura Truax hand out some money to the church members?A. To help them to make & living.B. To encourage them to do a good deed.C. To reward them for their hard work.D. To employ them to repair the church.22. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that most people of LaSalle's congregation________ 。

AThe Doll and the White RoseI was walking around in a mall, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back. The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll".The little boy seemed very disappointed.I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to."It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas.She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her: But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now.I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there."His eyes were so sad."My sister has gone to be with God.Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."My heart nearly stopped.The little boy looked up at me and continued, "I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet.I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."I quickly reached for my wallet and said," Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll.""OK, I hope I do have enough," he said.I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it.There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. Surprisingly, the little boy cried, "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much.But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose ! "Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured.The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state.Was this the family of the little boy?Two days after I met the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away.I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral.Teary-eyed, I felt that my life had been changed forever.21.The boy wanted to buy the doll because _____.A.he had always been eager for such a dollB.Santa Claus didn't give him any Christmas giftC.he would give it to his mother as a birthday surpriseD.he wanted to turn his sister's Christmas wish into reality22.We can learn from the story that _____.A.the boy's sister died after staying in hospital for two weeksB.the boy's family were all seriously injured in a car accidentC.the author gave the boy some extra money without his noticeD.the boy's mother always wished to receive a white rose on Christmas23.The story most probably conveys the message that _____.A.a kind act can bring joy and hope to othersB.a gift is a perfect way to express love for othersC.losing a family member is a heavy blow to childrenD.a religious belief can help one solve problems in his lifeBIn rainy London, always carry your “brolly”BIG Ben,the Queen,a plate of ham and eggs-no, no, no. If you’re looking for a symbol of Britain,only one thing passes the test-the umbrella.Now, I know what you’re thinking—we have rain in China and we have umbrellas too. Certainly, I will never forget the way it rained when I lived in Beijing:the sweets became instant rivers and the sky flashed with lightning for hours on end. People dove for cover under bin bags, the shops were emptied of their plastic ponchos(斗篷)within seconds,and I found myself soaked(浸透)from head to foot, my poorly-chosen skirt and T-shirt now totally see-through. This would never have happened in Britain.For one thing, during my year in Beijing, it only really rained at about 10 times.But although we never get a Beijing-style washout in London, the drizzle(毛毛雨)that does fall is all but constant.Even when the sky is perfectly blue, you can be sure it's going to cloud over and start drizzling again within the hour.And when it does, there is chaos. Trains stop, drains(下水道)block, and buses break down as if this was the first time the local authorities had seen this wet stuff coming out of the clouds.So—as with so many things in the UK-it’s up to ordinary people to sort themselves out. No self-respecting Briton will ever leave home without his “brolly” --as the umbrella is affectionately(亲切地)known.A brolly has hundreds of uses, even on rare rain-free days. A real gentleman of London will use his umbrella as a walking stick. A traditional game of cricket can be played using an umbrella as a hat. Nor do you ever have to be afraid of robbers-your umbrella doubles as a defensive weapon.There is no brolly more British than my own.But it's not from London or Manchester or any where in the UK. It was a gift from my Chinese teacher—in Beijing.24. The author mentioned her rainy weather experience in Beijing to show that _____.A. many foreigners have embarrassing moments living in BeijingB. the rain in Beijing is usually much heavier than the rain in LondonC. British people are more used to rainy weather than Chinese peopleD. both Beijing and Londoners have unpleasant experience with sudden rain25.The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to _____.A. people getting extremely wet on rainy daysB. sudden rain leading to traffic troublesC. people being well-prepared on rainy daysD. it only raining a dozen times per year26.The underlined word “chaos” in paragraph 5 probably means _____.A. doubtB. excitementC. joy D.disorder27.The tone of the articles is _____.A. humorousB. optimisticC. objectiveD. annoyedCThe London Pass is the final sightseeing package that has been specially tailor-made for visitors to the city.

You will most probably find the passage in .A. an English textbook B . a newspaper C. a travel brochure D. an encyclopediaDYou Are What You EatGenetic(基因的)engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosomes (染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism.Unlike traditional breeding (繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species.Wow--Did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered(GE)foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased.Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible.Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers. But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks.With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects.Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.There is also a major moral question in many minds.For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary.We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving.GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it. Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it.We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.32.According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering because _____.A.traditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesB.traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC.traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD.traditional breeding is more scientific33."The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates ______.A.information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersB.it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC.scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD.the US government is responsible for GE food34.According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because______.A.it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB.there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC.we're now producing more food than beforeD.customers will benefit from GE food35.What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?A.Welcoming.B.Disapproving.C.Unconcerned. D.Optimistic.第二节(共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.With the new school year quickly approaching (or perhaps,for your early-starters,already under way), 36 .

AMy last days of my month-Song trip to Guatemala found me self-reflective and grateful. Ihad rejoined the living after spending two days in bed, thanks to a terrible period of food poisoning that had me running from both ends.I spent 36-plus hours locked up in my hotel room in a cold sweat and grasping my stomach in pain. There may have been a bit of crying. There also may have been a few out-loud prayers to God begging him to make it stop and asking why I had been chosen to go through this. I should mention that I am not religious.I didn ’ t have a mobile phone and my hotel room was not equipped with a fixed line, so I had no way to get in contact with my mommy or my loving boyfriend so that I could share my suffering.Days later, I had recovered fully. While the bug (虫子) ran its course, I had to give some thanks to the staff at my hotel in Guatemala for being so sweet. They came to check on me on a couple of occasions once they realized I wouldn't/couldn't leave the room. They offered me teaand to call a doctor. I declined both offers but was moved by their kindness.I may get sick often when on the road, but I had to say that the worst thing ever is to getsick while traveling alone. If I am sick, only when people I know and care about are around does it make me feel better. It ’nots even about them playing Florence Nigh tingale -sometimes, just having them there and being able to feel their presence is enough to make you feel stronger.21.What is the best title for the text?A. Being ill while travellingB. The worst part of traveling aloneC. Recovering from the illness22.Why did the author get sick?A. Because she had wrong medicine.C. Because she got a stomachache.23.What happened during my illness?A. I had no food.C. I suffered a lot.D. Travelling alone while illB. Because she travelled too much.D. Because she had poisonous food.B. No one helped me.D. I was bitten by a bug.24.What lesson did I get from the experience?A. Don't get sick while travelling or you can't travel with pleasure.B. Remember to have a mobile phone while travelling or you can't contact relatives.C. Don't travel alone or you will get sick and feel lonely.D. Be grateful for the presence of the people you know and care about.BChildren are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are justtoddlers (少儿) , no matter how naughty or rude they are, we think it is amusing to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to sound grown-up.Conflicts often appear between parents and children. Reasoning does not seem to work withthem . It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with his parents. Whether it is about some toys, studies, basic affairs, parties or friends, there is always a difference in opinions between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Psychologists say that children should be handled with care. Yes, sure they should be but not at the cost of disrespecting their elders.We are partly responsible for this situation. At an early age we encourage grown-up-like behaviour, just because we find it amusing. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late. Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable. Until then, most of thetime their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force. And the use of force is again not avery good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.Thus this brings us to the conclusion that it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are a reflection of us adults.25.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. It is annoying to watch children speak like a grown-up.B. We should deal with children carefully according to psychologists.C. We are totally responsible for our kids’ impolite behaviour.D. Most of the time children’ s behaviour is easy to change.26.What's the main idea of the second paragraph?A. There are usually conflicts of opinions between parents and children.B. Children would like toys better than their parents.C. Children always look down upon their parents.D. It’ s strange for children and parents to disagree with eacherot.27 Which of the following is part of the reason for the present situation of thechildren?A. Children always think their parents’ opinions are wrong.28.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?A.It is important that we teach children how to behave well and bring them intothe world.B.It is important to bring a child into the world safe and sound.C.We should try to make a child follow the elders.D.We should train children to be good citizens with good manners.CJacksonville is the largest city in Florida and has a large number of shopping malls to suit different tastes for tourists and guests to shop.

However, do you know the real reason behind the phrase? Inner beauty is truly the real beauty, because external beauty fades with time. You might praise someone on how good he/she looks.But, what if that person turns out to be arrogant. What is the purpose of beauty then? Well to throw light upon the phrase, we have listed some reasons why inner beauty is the real beauty1. Characteristics are importantSure, the look of a person is important but characteristics are equally important. It is not necessary that a good-looking person would turn out to be an honest one. Looks are always deceptive. So, judge a person by his/her traits, which is the real test of inner beauty.2. Inner beauty is always admiredWhen anyone talks to you, he/she would notice the manner in which you speak. If you speak softly, then the person would remember you as a beautiful person.Nobody will remember what you wore, or how you looked. So, inner beauty is the first testof true beauty.3. Inner beauty is valuableA person can be beautiful with his or her actions and thoughts. If your thoughts are positive,it can be a motivating factor for others. It is your ideas that make you beautiful. Many women have complex related to looks but with good actions, you do not have to feel inferior.4. Inner beauty is kindnessOuter beauty will fade away, but inner beauty shall remain through your deeds. Kindness,love, empathy, generosity are all traits of inner beauty. If you have these traits, then you are themost beautiful person on earth. A kind and warm person is always remembered from the bottom of the heart.33.Which diagram shows the structure of the passage?34.W hat will be discussed in the following passage?pare outer beauty with inner beauty.B.Emphasize the importance of the inner beauty.C.What should you do in later life?D.Inner beauty is the real beauty and shall remain.35.The author quoted the sentence“ Inner beauty is the realto beauty.”A.show respect for the writer of the phrase.B.improve his passage.C.strengthen the confidence of his opinion.D.make some comments about inner beauty.第二节(共 5 小题;每题 2 分,满分10 分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

By all accounts St. Nicholas was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. After his death around 340 A. D. he was buried in Myra, but in 1087 Italian sailors were believed to steal his remains and removed them to Italy, greatly increasing St. Nicholas’ popularity throughout Europe.His kindness and reputation for generosity gave rise to claims that he could perform miracles and devotion to him increased. St. Nicholas became the patron(保护神)saint ofRussia, where he was known by his red cap, flowing white beard, and bishop’s mitre. In Greece, h e was the patronsaint of sailors; in France, he was the patron of lawyers, and in Belgium, the patron of children and travelers. Thousands of churches across Europe were dedicated(供奉的)to him and sometime around the 12th century an official holiday was created in his honor. The Feast of St. Nicholas was celebrated on December 6 and the day was marked by gift-giving and charity.After the Reformation, European followers of St. Nicholas declined, but the legend was kept alive in Holland where the Dutch spelling of his name Sint Nikolass was eventually transformed to Sinterklaas. Dutch children would leave their wooden shoes by the fireplace, and Sinterklaas would reward good children by placing treats in their shoes. Dutch colonists brought this tradition with them to America in the 17th century and here the English name of Santa Claus appeared.32.Why, as is believed, is Santa Claus so popular in Europe?A.

But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a prosthesis(假肢),using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close."It was a do-it-yourself, father and son adventure," says raw.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. "The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with," says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer一which costs around $2,000- and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard (护胫),cardboard, and tape. They cost about$10," says Paul. With his new hand, Leon can do things better. "I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,”he says.Leon's father has already built .several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal," he tells the reporter from the local evening paper,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces:'24. Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B. A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C. To master the disabled hand was important.D. The original hand could do many tasks.25.

The materials used for Leon's hand can be described asA. cheap and commonB. strange and valuableC. personal and lovelyD. basic and solid27. Where can the passage be taken from?A. An advertisementB. A newspaperC. A posterD. A travel guide CWhenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf theInternet, we'll be surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically(心理上地)and physically.It's obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.What's more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don't have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie. oaly because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products, And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicalsthat go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, 3rd therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.28. From Paragraph 1,we learn thatA. diet products are in our daily lifeB. people have trouble choosfng diet productsC. people should put up with diet productsD. diet products are misleading people29. The psychological effect of diet products is that people tend toA. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods B, pay attention to their daily dietC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out varieties of diet foods30. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably meansA. diet products cause no pain B, it costs a lot to.lose weightC. losing weight is effortlessD. diet products are free of fat and calories31.Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such productsA. are over-consumedB. are short of basic nutrientsC. lack chemicalsD. provide too much energyDAccording to a survey,more Europeans go digital一changing from fixed lines to mobile phones and from narrowband to broadband Internet connections.The survey showed that 22 percent of EU households use only mobile phones, up from I8 percent a year ago,while the percentage of households with at least one fixed line decreased by 5 percent to 72 percent, although the percentage of households with at least one mobile phone remains fairly stable at 8l per cent.Broadband is presenting a rapid upward trend in the EU, showed the survey, which polled(对…进行民意调查)27,000 households across the union.

More than half of households access the Internet via an ADSL line and 34 percent of broadband connections are wireless."Europe's digital economy is growing strongly as more and more households love to choose between fixed, mobile and Internet services," said EU Information Society and Media Commissioner wiane Reding.

AOne day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter(仲裁人). I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计). ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read:“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula(公式)to calc ulate the height of the building.”At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to ta ke the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”,Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. Headmitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.1.

Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw astone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next,Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.5. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .A. loud noisesB. some cropsC. video camerasD. angry bees6. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .A. works by herself in AfricaB. needs to test more elephant groupsC. has stopped elephants eating cropsD. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms7. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A. To record the sound of bees.B. To make a video of elephants.C. To see if elephants would run away.D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.8. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.CProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could b e causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!9. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A. interestingB. ridiculous.C. boring.D. puzzling.10. Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.D. He was new at the school.11. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.A. annoyedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager12. In the end, the author turned things around _______.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterDI believe that my country,Poland,is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It’s not so common nowadays to treat food that way,since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept—that’s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It’s widely known that you value more anythi ng that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together—extremely difficult now, but so rewarding! You can share other members’ troubles and successes, giv e your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment, instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body,and stomach in particular will be very grateful for such a time!In Poland, a wedding,Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook ,sometimes for a few days before the event,and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What’s more, almost everyone inPoland will be as interested in the topic as I am.13. When the writer was a child, he/she _______.A. found people were crazy about breadB. began to realize the importance of foodC. thought that cutting bread was amazingD. learned people hardly baked their own bread14. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because___________.A. he/she makes food from scratchB. his/her parents would blame him/herC. some customs still have effect on him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers15. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ________.A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long timeB. the whole family often have meals together nowadaysC. it’s common for women to get together to cook for a few daysD. family members can know more about each other by having meals together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。

AThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.Fred, a lovely young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely differently different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time, in America, Mike, a frie ndly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”21. This year________ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and othercountries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand22. The whole exchange program is mainly to_________.A. help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teenagers learn new languages23. What is particular in America schools is that________.A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.B. there are a lot of outside activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.BI was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting moneyfor a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos(纹身) and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.24. The writer’s good mood ended when _______.A. he heard news between songsB. he had to stop at a red traffic lightC. he heard a rich man broke the lawD. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need25. What are four bikers doing at the traffic light?A. Having a bicycle race in the streetB. Selling helmets to the passers-by.C. Raising money to help kids in needD. Preparing for Christmas holidays.26.

The writer to tell us that we should________.A. have faith in young peopleB. judge others by their actionsC. change our attitude to societyD. manage to help others in needCParents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Excessiv e media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie Hogan, co-author of the new policy.Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommendations: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldn’t have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids’ bedrooms.Doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. “If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician(小儿科医师) and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?”Children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including TV, music, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier. About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using the computer, the Kaiser report found.Use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. A new report from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of children 8 and younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011.28. Which statement is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Parents are advised to ban electronic media after mealtimes.B. A “Family media use plan” is being carried out throughout America.C.

It’s beneficial to their health.B. It’s essential to par enting their kids.C. It’s beneficial to their work.D. It’s essential to develop good relationship with their kids.30. What can be inferred according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation?A. The majority of the surveyed kids can use electronic devices as they like in their homes.B. The report was based on the statistics in 2002.C. 702 of the surveyed kids completed a seven-day media use diary.D. Kids are spending less and less time using media for fun.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Consuming media for fun is a nature of kidsB. No use, no worryC. Measures should be taken to stop children’s overuse of electronic mediaD. Electronic devices threaten the relationship of many familiesDOn occasion, a memory came to my mind. My mother had a nice table with a single vase standing on it. The table, as I remember, was always in my family and I had to clean it as a child as my weekly housework. It was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room.Our family moved around a lot because my father, a Spanish and Hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left. We were never without food, fancy clothes or a house to live in. but, as I grew older, I knew why.My father would usually make enough money to buy us food and clothing, and deal with the doctor bills by paying out of his own pocket for a family of six. He was self-employed and had no medical coverage(医疗保险).Through so many moves, my mother was the organizer of everything that needed to be done. Dad was away at around one o’clock each evening, so the major kid rearing(抚养), cooking and cleaning were all her work. I can also remember her sewing almost every night.My mom didn’t take vacations. She didn’t go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. As children, we cared about almost nothing. We didn’t care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top.I sat back now and then and stared at that table. It was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed. And, her only valuable possession was the table with the vase on top.32. What did the author sometimes recall?A. Having to clean the table weekly.B. Putting a vase on the table weekly.C. His mother’s vase lying on the table.D. His mother’s table with a vase on it.33. What can we learn about the author’s family?A. He supported his family by teaching the guitar.B. He hated his father always being out and too busy.C. His family had no fixed home when he was young.D. His family didn’t have enough food when he was young.34. Which word can best describe the author’s mother?A. EconomicalB. MeanC. UnusualD. Generous35. Which of the following questions is NOT discussed in the passage?A. Who supported the au thor’s family?B. What does the author do at present?C. What housework did the author’s mother do?D. Why did the author’s family move so often?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。

AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior (自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true. ” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.first paragraph is mainly about______.A. the cause of shynessB. the feelings of shy peopleC. the effect of shyness on peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy peopleto the writer, self-awareness is______.A. harmful to peopleB. a healthy qualityC. the cause of unhappinessD. a weak point of shy peopleis the shy people's reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it.B. They feel they are worthy of it.C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel it is not true.can learn from the passage that shyness can ______.A. be overcome with determinationB. help us to live up to our full developmentC. enable us to understand ourselves betterD. have nothing to do with lack of self respectBFour years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set. The place was shabby, with no indoor pipes or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in thegarden among her flowers and vegetables. In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpens (婴儿床) in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower".As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she recalled.Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.My heart skipped a beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.Then the radio announcer came on. "Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. "Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower...."25. The writer didn’t like staying in the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.A. it was too cold and quietB. The place was simple, with no indoor plumbing or heatC. there was nothing more that could make her excitedD. she could only sing one song in the small farm26. From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________.A. left the small farm with LordB. passed away four years agoC. left for Lord to live her own wayD. preferred to be with Lord27. What does the underlined phrase refer to?A. simple and easyB. old-fashioned and classicC. busy and noisyD. slow-paced and comfortable28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Mom’s musicB. Cherish life.C. My happy childhoodD. Our small farmhouseCWikipedia (维基百科) is a non-profit website funded by donations, started on 15th January, 2001. “Wiki” means “quick” in the Hawaiian language. These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科), to look something up. But how reliable is it?The site attracts 78 million visitors every month, and it is available in more than 270 different languages. It’s one of the most comprehensive (综合的) resources available, and it’s got much more information than an ordinary encyclopedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an Internet connection can look through and edit the contents or add a new page at any time. And you don’t need any formal training.Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500 administrators who check for false information. And main targets for horrible comments (such as politicians) are forbidden to public editing. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn’t easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, i t’s also open to “vandals (有意捣乱者)”.Some of the damage is easy to notice. Someone drew horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates’ photo. But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Unbelievably, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim to the tricks. For example, in an obituary (讣告) for British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime song “There’ll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover”. In fact, he did no such thing.So if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.29. What do we know about Wikipedia?A. It makes profits from its users.B. It is run by the Hawaiian government.C. It provides a huge amount of information.D. It is the most popular website worldwide.30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. 78 million people visit Wiki each day.B. To forbid wrong public editings is quite easy.C. Formal education is needed to do editing for Wiki.D. Some people change the information on Wiki just for fun.31. The example of Norman Wisdom’s obituary is used to show ________.A. Wikipedia sometimes contains false informationB. some newspapers like The Guardian are irresponsibleC. Norman Wisdom is unpopular with some peopleD. Wikipedia affects people’s lives greatly32. What does the author advise readers to do?A. To look through Wikipedia frequently.B. To update Wikipedia on a daily basis.C. To turn to other websites for valid information.D. To be careful when using the information from Wikipedia.33. Which of the following is true about the Jelly Belly Bean Company?A. Three meals are prepared for you.B. It lies to the north of San Francisco.C. You have to spend some money visiting it.D. It is open every day.34. If a five-year-old boy and his parents visit Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat Museum, theyhave to pay _______.A. $22B. $13C. $17D. $1835. The factory tour this winter involves _______.A. politics, economics, science and cultureB. diet, sports, traffic and artC. history, literature, education and customD. health, invention, astronomy and car第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)依照短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe story all began with a simple announcement from the church wall one Sunday morning. LaSalle Street Church’s pastor, Laura Truax,told his 320 regular members that the church had recently received a large $ 1. 6 million profit in a real estate deal (房地产交易) and that she would set aside that amount by 10 percent to divide among her parishioners (教区居民).Each would get a $500 check to do something positive for someone, and someone could be the parishioners themselves. The money came with no conditions attached; parishioners did not have to provide proof of money spent. It just came with the hope that the money would be used for good.LaSalle’s congregation (集会)is racially and financially diverse; More than 60 percent of members have advanced degrees while about a third live a paycheck-to-paycheck life. Truax had no idea how her experiment would work. She only hoped that it would make her parishioners a part of the giving process and engage them in the church and in their community. So far, her idea seems to be paying off.Checks from LaSalle Street Church have been used to fund everything from swall international projects---including a school in the Himalayas, a health clinic in and an irrigation project in Tanzania---to help local families and friends in trouble. One congregant is helping to fund a skateboarding park in Amman, Jordaa, where he lived for many years. Another is using her money to start a scholarship foundation for local kids. Another has used her money to buy winter clothing for the kids at her daughter's school."1 hoped that they would recognize the power they had to bless others and change somebody's life, "Truax told Yahoo News. “I hoped that they would see their connection between their little piece and the bigger thing the church was called to21. Why did Laura Truax hand out some money to the church members?A. To help them to make & living.B. To encourage them to do a good deed.C. To reward them for their hard work.D. To employ them to repair the church.22. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that most people of LaSalle's congregation________ 。
A. are from the cityB.lead a miserable lifeC. have received good educationD. own a lot of money23. By the underlined part "So far, her idea seems to be paying off", the writer means "It seems that ______. "A. LaSalle's experiment is successful so farB. LaSalle is more clever than other peopleC. the parishioners support LaSalle’s plan nowD. LaSalle has made a lot of money by now24. The parishioners have spent their money in the fields of ________。
A. science, culture and travelB. industry, agriculture and militaryC. economy, politics and entertainmentD. education, medicine and sportsBPeople in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver’s license. The law went into effect on January 1.California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador. (萨尔瓦多)eight years ago without permission from the U. S. government. Some call such people "illegal immigrants" Others call them "undocumented immigrants".Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting,for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles,or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words "Federal Limits Apply". That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center,says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.Dan Schnur,a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior.

But have you ever thought about how they developed this amazing ability?It may be impossible for us to go back in time in person to witness how it happened,but scientists from Yale University,US,studied the fossils of ancient birds. These fossils are like recorded tapes of ancient times that took the scientists back 150 million years.Back then, there lived a kind of animal known as the Archaeopteryx. It is considered to be the earliest bird because it had feathers and wings-----the key factors for a bird to fly. Meanwhile, it also had features of a reptile,such as teeth in its mouth, claws on its wings,and a long,bony tail,which means the ancestors of birds were probably reptiles.In order to escape from dangerous animals, reptiles leaped from tree to tree. They gradually grew feathers on their arms so they could leap a little farther, then a little farther still. However, they were far from becoming true fliers because their wings and feathers were quite different from those of birds today.Looking closely at the fossils, scientists found that ancient feathers contained many layers of long feathers, like a penguin's. This made the wings rather heavy and difficult for birds to move up and down. “We don't think these things could take off from the ground," said Nicholas Longrich, of Yale University, lead author of the study. “They can’t fly like a modern bird.” This is why scientists concluded that early feathers were only used by birds to glide (滑翔)from high trees, or keep warm, or maybe as camouflage (伪装),but not flying, according to National Geographic.Over the next millions of years, the evolution of feathers never stopped. Birds developed wings that included a layer of long feathers covered with short feathers on top. This structure allowed birds to separate their feathers more easily to create wider span (翼展)and to change directions in midair. They have also grown special wrist bones so that they can spread their wings when flying and fold them into their sides when walking."This new research is throwing light not just on how birds came to fly, but more specially on how feathers came to be the way they are today---one of the most amazing and highly specialized structures in nature," said Jakob Vinther, from the University of Bristol UK.32. According to the article, scientists conclude that early birds__________。
