That’s exactly what happened on June 17 to Tom Overened, 26, from Footscray, Australia, when he got back to the house he shares with four of his best friends.“We live in an old large refitted shop, where we host things often,”Overend wrote in an email to GoodMorning America. Com. “Whenever we do, everything gets piled into my room. I was expecting to return to a storage room, which I think is why they deliberately set out to achieve the opposite.”His four friends completed the entire room makeover in two days, including all the time it took to shop, decorate and paint the space. They even created a Facebook event inviting 15 additional net friends to get involved in the process.When asked if his friends often play tricks like this, Overend responded, “Yes, but this has certainly raised the bar. We like surprise. We’re blessed with a creative household. I’d say we don’t even consider them “tricks’. We just enjoy upstaging each other’s surprises.” Overend’s roommates claim the entire room cost them less than $ 60 to construct. Most of the toys were borrowed from friends, the bed they bought for free from Gumtree, an Australian oversion of Craigslist, and the bright pink paint only cost $14.However, revenge (报复) might be in store from one of the Overend’s roommates, Marc McIntyre, who is the next of the young men to go on a lengthy trip. Overend wrote, “I’m looking into how much it’ll cost to fill his room with deer and lions. He’s definitely getting some kind of unique animals in there, I promise.”51.On arrival at home from a long trip, Overend felt that ________.A. he could hardly go to sleepB. his room was in a messC. he was eager to share his experiencesD. his room had changed a lot52.The underlined word “bar” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A. doubtB. levelC. costD. popularity53.Why did Overend’s friends make the transformation in his room?A. To construct a petty room.B. To attract more net friends.C. To give his a big surprise.D. To show off their creativity.54.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Marc might have participated in the transformation of Overend’s roomB. Overend and his friends often play with some animals.C. It costs much to decorate and paint a room.D. Overend isn’t getting along well with his friends.BWhile many universities pride themselves on their international reach, student’s friendship groups are often defined by nationality. And it’s not just Chinese students who don’t mix, but British also tend to stick together.The reason behind this social trend are complex. Fadi Dakkak, International Student Officer of the University of Sheffield’s Student Union puts it down to “cultural differences”. Does British drinking culture stop overseas students from hanging out with locals? Well perhaps, but lots of the international students I know enjoy clubbing and drinking just as much as those born in the UK. More importantly, there are plenty of opportunities to socialize that don’t involve alcohol, from sports to film societies.British undergraduate Joshua Watts says students are likely to mix in an academic context, but adds: “I guess it’s natural to revert to (恢复) friends of the same background during your free time.”The UK university experience is very different fro international students. While local students are living a few hours from home, international students are thousands of miles away from their family and friends. Student’s financial situations can also differ, with most UK students dependent upon termly loan.There’s a danger that misunderstanding can also stop students from interacting, says Dakkak, who recalls his own experience as a student; “If I had an issue with someone from a certain country or background, I made the mistake of assuming that everyone from that background would be the same.”Simply putting different people into the same space and expecting them to integrate (融合) doesn’t always work, which is why many universities are f inding new ways to bridge the gap. The University of Sheffield’s student union has produced a video campaign that help this. It says: “We want to blur (模糊) the distinction between international and local students. While we work with people from around the world on a daily basis, we are all international students.” The staff has made an effort to pair international students with home students forgroup projects. Student unions across the country have also organized welcome events to encourage students to mix, and arranged for overseas students to stay with local hosts during vacations.The benefits of mixing with people from different backgrounds are obvious. In today’s job market, students have to prove that they are culturally acute and aware of global issues. As Dinesh Thayalan from Malaysia says: “I chose to study abroad to learn from and with a community of different cultures.” Local students benefit just the same, having the opportunity to learn from different people, without going abroad.55.According to F adi Dakkak, students from different nationalities don’t stick together mainly due to________.A. the habit of clubbing and drinkingB. their differences in cultureC. the lack of opportunities to socializeD. their complex social background56.Which of the following may prevent the international and local students from integrating?A. Racial discrimination.B. Academic distance.C. Financial situation.D. Generational gap.57.What has the University of Sheffield’s student union done to encourage student to mix?A. It has organized overseas students to take vacations.B. It has classified the international student into different groups.C. It has produced a video campaign.D. It has canceled the distinction between international and local students.58.We can learn from the last paragraph that mixing with people from different backgrounds is ________.A. win-win for all the studentsB. burdensome for the localsC. difficult for some culturesD. beneficial for global issuesCConsider this: Building use 40% of all energy consumed by people. How is it that in nature, species such as termites (白蚁) create remarkable temperature-control systems to keep themselves cool, without air conditioners?Imagine for a moment a termite mound (丘) on the African grassland, where temperatures swing between 40o C during the day and 10C at night. Termite survive, though, only if their environment has a constant6 temperature of 30o C. So how do the termites keep a mound at a consistent temperature?Let’s take a look at how the mounds are built. Termites mounds are tall, often reaching up to 7.6m high and rooting 3m underground. The mounds are built with a long tube at the top that looks like a small chimney. When termite mounds are found to be in the way of building project, explosive is often needed. Termites create small openings in the wet mud at the bottom of the mounds. These tunnels act as wind catchers, lowering the temperature of the air as it moves through the tunnels of wet mud. This process is called evaporative (蒸发) cooling. When dry it passes over water, the air absorbs some of that water. This occurs as the vapor pressure and the temperature of the air and the water try to become equal. The heat moves from the higher air temperature to the lower water temperature, thus cooling the air.The termite mound also makes use of natural air currents. Because warm air rises, the air currents draw air from the tunnels at the bottom up and out through the opening at the top of the mound. To regulate the heat anddampness in the mound, the termites work constantly to change the position of the tunnels, opening up new tunnels and blocking others.Architect Michael based his design of the Eastgate Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe, on that of termite mounds. Like the termite mound, Eastgate is ventilated (通风), cooled, and heated entirely through natural mean. Its ventilation costs one-tenth of that of a standard air-conditioned building and uses 35% less energy than six conventional building.59.Termites can survive on the African grassland mainly because of ________.A. the constant temperature thereB. their temperature-control systemsC. the height and length of their moundsD. their heat stored in the bodies60.What does the sentence underlined in Paragraph 3 imply about termite mounds?A. They are designed skillfully.B. They are strong enough.C. They are harmful to people.D. They are constructed grandly.61.The tunnels of wet mud in termite mounds are built to ________.A. cool down the temperatureB. let in fresh currentsC. warm up the airD. block the openings62.What’s the best title for the passage?A. Principle of VentilationB. Structure of Termite MoundsC. Wisdom of TermitesD. Inspiration from Termite MoundsDA spelling mistake on a sign outside a state primary school had me banging my head in despair—but don’t be panicked into thinking state education is fundamentally disabled.There’s a notice on our local park gate, made by a local state primary school pupil, saying: “there is know things like the poo fairy.” What a good idea—a campaign to encourage the dog-owners among us to pick up their dog’s waste! And what an attract ive and eye-catching poster! But “KNOW poo fairy”? why didn’t the teacher check the spelling before the poster was completed and displayed before the public? Didn’t he/she realize that not only is bad spelling a worry, but even worse—this is the sort of th ing that could easily bring joy to Mr. Gove’s heart, because it seems to prove him right—ordinary state schools bad and academies good. And the country may take his propaganda (宣传) seriously. Show the panicking parents one bad spelling from a non-academy school, suggesting that it’s filled with wild and unqualified staff, and they’ll be scared that their children will come out walking on all fours, and must be marched straight into an academy—and institution full of exam results and undemocratic management.Don’t fall for it, parents. Like thousands of teachers in state schools, and local authorities, you can care about children’s education and standards of literacy, you can even love Latin, without singing up to the Gove brigade (队列). Just because he has had an insight into our terrors and recognized our dreams, it does mean that he just knows how to take us in and what works in his favor.“That ‘know poo’ teacher has scored an own goal,” says Fielding, “and you’re in a dilemma here. You’re caught between your enthusiasm for accurate grammar and your well-meaning social responsibilities” Even Fielding doesn’t get it. You can have the two thing together—high standards in comprehensives. We do not need academic. You can manage it!63.“Know” in the poster should probably be spelled as ________.A. noB. nowC. newD. nor64.Who is Mr. Gove in the passage?A. A pupil’s father concerned about education.B. A teacher of a state primary school.C. An advocate for academy.D. An enthusiast of literacy.65.We can learn from the passage that the author________.A. felt hopeless at the state primary educationB. tried to defend the spelling mistakes in the posterC. thought highly of academy’s educational standardD. was opposed to Mr. Gove’s misleading propaganda.66.What is the author’s tune towards state primary education?A. NegativeB. CooperativeC. EncouragingD. PraisefulEBefore Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast of the United States, it had killed 54 people in Haiti and left tens of thousands more homeless. Haiti is especially tender because of its underdevelopment, so people die there—as they did during the earthquake in January 2010—in greater numbers than they would in other countries subject to the same natural disasters.But there is one disaster that was brought to Haiti directly by people, now by nature. It was not caused by extreme weather. That disaster is the cholera that struck Haiti two years ago.Most people I talk to don’t even know that United Nations troops brought this deadly diseas e to Haiti in October of 2010. There hadn’t been any cholera in Haiti for at least 100 years, if ever, until some UN troops from /south Asia poured human waste into a branch of the country’s main water supply. Since then, more than 7,600 Haitians have died and over 600,000 have gotten sick.However, the UN is still denying its responsibility, despite studies published by the New England Journal of Medicine, tracking the origin of Haiti’s cholera bacteria to UN soldiers. A study by a team of 15 scientists la st year produced even more conclusive evidence, using whole genome sequence typing (基因系列归类) and two other methods that matched the cholera strain in Haiti to a sample from Nepal that was taken at the time when the Nepalese UN troops arrived in the country. In short, there is proof beyond reasonable doubt that the UN mission is responsible fro bringing this disease to Haiti.So there is one obvious source of money fro ridding the country of cholera, but so far, only about 53% of the $5.35 billion promised by international donors has been delivered. For the US government, it is just 27%, or $ 250 millions. If these governments want to help the UN fix the mess that they created, they should have already committed the funds to do so.67.By mentioning the hurricane and earthquake happening in Haiti in Paragraph 1, the author implies________.A. natural disasters are unmercifulB. many deaths could have been avoidedC. Haitians are easy to become victims in face of disastersD. America should be responsible for them68.H ow does the author show the origin of Haiti’s cholera bacteria?A. By providing supporting evidences.B. By analyzing the results.C. By making further investigations.D. By challenging the UN.69.How much money should the American government have offered to Haiti?A. 2.84 billion dollars.B. 925 million dollars.C. 67.5 million dollars.D. 250 million dollars.70.What does the author write the passage most probably for?A. To introduce the serious cholera situation in Haiti.B. To ask for more financial help from UN.C. To prove the direct cause of Haiti’s cholera outbreak.D. To condemn the attitude of international community towards Haiti’s cholera.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。
