Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressureof trying to live up to a reputation created by previous masters. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about bein g a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can be embodied in our children.An inspiration came last week when I asked her, ―Don’t you want to win again?‖ ―No,‖ she replied, ―I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.‖I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she independently told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly ―guided‖ by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.31. Which of the statements will the author agree with?A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.32. Which of the following word can replace the underlined wor d ―embodied‖ in paragraph 2?A. putB. expressedC. connectedD. included33. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?A. She wanted to share her stories with readers.B. She was sure of winning with her moth er’s help.C. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.D. She had won a prize in the previous contest.34. The author took great pains to improve her daughter’s stories because _______.A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writerB. she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writingC. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so muchD. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidanceBSearching for airfares often seems like a game that passengers are bound to lose. Prices change from day to day, even minute to minute. Looking through multiple websites for the best deal can be a big challenge. Even when you do book, there’s no guarantee that you are going to get the best price.―You just don’t know when to pull the trigger. It’s not like buying anything else I can think of, ‖ said George Hobica, founder of .Harriet Levy paid $179 for a recent round-trip flight on American Airlines between New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sitting just one row behind her, Shirley Harrison paid $215. A few rows back, Ellis and Dianne Traub paid $317 each. There were at least 12 fares on the flight, ranging from $169 to $360.There’s no reason for it, Harrison said.Fares can change significantly in just a few hours. One Delta flight from New York to LosAngeles jumped from $755 to $1,143 from a Friday to Saturday in late April, then fell to $718 on Sunday.The flight was one of a dozen the Associated Press followed over three months for a vacation between July 16 and 22. The number one finding: avoid booking tickets on weekends. It’s the most expensive time to buy.There’s no way to guarantee the best fare. But before booki ng, travelers should pay attention to this additional advice:• Book on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That’s when airlines most often offer sales.• Buy in advance, but not too early. The best time is four to six weeks before traveling. In general, prices for any given flight are highest eight to 10 weeks and two to three weeks in advance.• Make use of social media. Airlines are giving more benefits like exclusive (独家) sales to travelers who interact with them on Twitter and Facebook. Those specials are often gone within hours.• The so-called discount airlines – JetBlue, Air-Tran, Southwest and Frontier – adjust their fares less frequently than other airlines, so you can feel more confident that the price will stay the same. But their prices aren’t always the lowest. Researching multiple airlines’ fares is the only way to get a good deal.35. What can we learn from the text?A. Passengers are unable to search for airfares.B. Airlines often play games with passengers.C. The earlier you book, the lower airfares you’ll pay.D. It’s difficult for passengers to get the best price.36. The underlined phrase ―pull the trigger‖ in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.A. start searchingB. get the highest priceC. make a purchaseD. get on board the plane37. By using a lot of figures in the example, the author intends to _______.A. show there is standard price for every single airlineB. discover the rules behind airfaresC. guarantee passengers a low priceD. prove airfares can vary widely38. Passengers are advised to book flights _______.A. in the middle of the weekB. on special websitesC. several months before travelingD. with airlines which are famous for offering discount pricesCHere’s this week’s list of four open jobs throughout the local area.

Experts say that to achieve better road safety, various and comprehensive methods are needed. Updating the rules are only part of the story.According to the WHO (World Health Organization), traffic accidents kill more people around the world than malaria and are the leading cause of death for young people aged 5 to 29 -- especially in developing countries. Each year up to 1.3 million people are killed and more than 50 million injured in traffic accidents around the world.The economic consequences are also significant: according to a study by the World Bank and Harvard University, traffic accidents on average cost a country 1 to 3 percent of its annual Gross National Product..The newly revised regulations impose much heavier punishment on drivers who violate traffic rules. Under the new regulations, 52 different violations result in penalties, up from 38 under the previous system.Eleven kinds of violations now result in the deduction of 12 points, compared to six points under the previous regulation. These violations include drunken driving and using fake license plates, as well as driving without a valid license.But traffic regulations are only one aspect of many regarding problems with road safety in China. Other components of road safety include technology and urban design.43. What is true according to the passage?A. Traffic accidents leads to very serious economic consequences.B. Malaria causes more deaths every year than traffic accidents.C. Running a yellow will result in a 6-point deduction.D. Most violators of the new traffic rules will end up in prison.44. The main reason of the new traffic regulations is _______A. to reduce economic loss.B. to limit the sale of alcohol.C. the requirement of the WHO.D. to make the road safer.45. Which violation will not lead to a deduction of 12 points?A. Drunken driving.B. Running a red light.C. Using fake license plates.D. Driving without a license.46. Which measure is not mentioned in the passage to improve road safety?A. A better design of the city.B. Proper application of advanced technology.C. More involvement of the government and organizations such as the WHO.D. Stricter traffic regulations.EThe works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are boosters to the brain and better therapy than some guide books, researchers say this week.Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the Bard and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-reflection. Using scanners (扫描仪器), they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S Eliot and others.They then ―translated‖ the original texts into more ―straightforward‖, modern language and again monitored the reade rs’ brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more ―challenging‖ essays and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the much plainer versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it was ―activated‖ as the readers encountered unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentence structure.This ―activation‖ of the mind lasts longer, shifting the brain to a higher speed, encouraging further reading.The research also found that reading poetry, in particular, increases activity in the right hemisphere of the brain, helping the reader to reflect on their own experiences, which they compare with what they have read. This, according to the researchers, meant that the classic works were more useful than guide books.Philip Davis, an English professor believes "The research shows the power of literature to shift thinking patterns, to create new thoughts, shapes and connections in the young and adults alike.‖47. What does the underlined ―it‖ stand for in paragraph 5?A. Each word of the literary works.B. A certain difficult sentence structure.C. The scanner.D. Brain activity.48. How was the experiment carried out?①The classics were rewritten in simpler languages.② A reader’s brain activity was recorded when reading original Shakespeare.③Compare the electrical activities of the brain.④ A reader’s brain activity was recorded when reading the revised versions.A. ①③④②B. ②④①③C. ②③①④D. ②①④③49. What is the possible benefit of reading classic works according to the study?A. It would help increase the sale of Shakespeare plays.B. It helps readers learn more difficult grammar.C. It inspires regular readers to think out of the box.D. It forces readers to train the left hemisphere of their brain.50. What might be the author’s attitude towards reading classics as therapy?A. DoubtfulB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Opposing第二节补全对话(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)A: What’s your opinion about this design? 51B: I have never seen a better one. 52A: Thanks.

A collection of evidence has shown that these things contribute to healthier and longer lives, but the new study actually qualified their mixed effect, the British team said.―These results may provide further support for the idea that even small differences in lifestyle may make a big difference to health, ‖ the researchers wrote in the journal PLOS Medicine.Between 1993 and 1997 the researchers questioned 20,000 healthy British men and woman about their lifestyles.They also tested ever y participant’s blood to measure vitamin C intake, an indicator(指标)of how much fruit and vegetables people ate.Then they assigned the participants aged 45-79 a score of between 0 and 4,giving one point for each of the healthy behaviors. After allowing for age and other factors that could affect the likelihood of dying, the researchers found people with a score of 0 four times as likely to die.The researchers, who tracked deaths among the participants until 2006,also said a person with a health score of 0 had the same risk of dying as someone with score of 4 who was 14 years older.The lifestyle change with the biggest benefit was _____________________, which led to an 80 percent improvement in health, the study found. This was followed by eating fruits and vegetables. Drinking a little and keeping active brought the same benefits, Kay-Tee Khaw at the University of Cambridge said. Do you have the four healthy living habits?56.What is the best title of the passage?(within 10 words)_______________________________________________________________________________ 57.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?It is well known that each living habit is good for health,but now the study has made it clear how nice the four habits cooperate.____________________________________________________________________________ 58.Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(within 5 words)_______________________________________________________________________________ 59.What should be encouraged according to the result of the research?(within 10 words)_______________________________________________________________________________60.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 into Chinese._______________________________________________________________________________ 第二节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)After watch ―English TV‖ last Sunday morning, I phoned to my classmate and told him to go to see a film in the afternoon. Before the film was over, we returned to school to do our lessons. While we are having a rest in the corridor, I saw Mr. Liu, my China teacher. He told me that we had made some progresses in English, but my Chinese lagged behind, especially my Chinese composition. He suggested I must read more and keeping a diary every day. In the evening my father told me that reading newspapers would do me well for improving composition writing. That was really good idea! What they said was quite right, and I should follow their advice.第三节书面表达(满分35分)某海外学校举办英语夏令营,开设了如下课程:园艺(gardening),烹饪(cooking),防身术(self-defence),护理(nursing)。

People usually agree that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a 31 , but not too long.

If you are looked at for more than 33 ,you will look at yourself 34 to see if there is anything wrong 35 you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel a little bit 36 toward others’ staring at you that way. Eyes 37 speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be 38 . But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite 39 .

A poor liar usually gives himself away by looking too long at the listener, since he has a wrong idea that to look straight in the eye is a 45 of honest communication. Quite the opposite.In fact, continuous eye contact is 46 to lovers only, who will 47 looking gently at each other for a long time, to show the feelings that words cannot 48 .Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the 49 between two people and the 50 situation.Use your eye contact correctly, and you will win more friends, or the one you low.31.

However, this country didn’t 26 the watch. It was the British 27 did it. Here is a story of 28 the watch was 29 to Switzerland.Many years ago, an Englishman was 30 to Italy. 31 his way he stopped in a small town in south Switzerland. This Englishman travelled in a carriage inside 32 there was a carriage watch. This was the 33 kind of watch. A native shop assistant 34 to see the watch.

Compare your pronunciation with the master version,see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this several times,you will find that each version is better than the last.Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon,it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week,and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地),even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday,use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression,hand movements,anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material,yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If y ou play the same piece several times,you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example,what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently,for short periods of time.Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind,then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all,have fun!( )46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others.( )47.Which of the following is the most important in learning English?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.Vocabulary.( )48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary( )49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true in learning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the moodtakes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感).Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (准时),and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.( )50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it( )51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.( )52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable( )53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their childr en, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”( )54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless( )55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use( )56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible( )57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has don e, is doing and will do.( )58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on( )59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement( )60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we have that spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in times of difficulty( )61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to knowwhether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.( )62. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C( )63. If one wants to be relaxed by reading, one should take up ________.A. a story bookB. a book on science and technologyC. news, letters from friendsD. some material full of information( )64. Which of the following readings should you read slowly and carefully?A. Fairy tales.B. Aesop’s Fables.C. Directions for use of a machineD. An evening paper.( )65. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?A. How to decide your reading speed.B. How to raise your reading speed.C. How to improve your reading skills.D. How to choose your reading materials.第三部分(共三节,满分55分)第一节:单词拼写(每小题1分,共10分)66.Rich people wanted to decorate their______(极好的) palaces and great houses.67.He had a ______(偏爱)for Western paintings.68.We didn’t know how they ______(运送)these stones over 200moles without modern machines.69.Please fill in the ______(空格)with your own information.70.He became ______ (成瘾的)to cigarettes last year.71.She felt ______(害羞的)of her body shape, so she decided to go on a diet.72.He gave a ______(一瞥)at his watch and then left..73.You should cover the burned area with a dry, clean ______(绷带).74.Most people are very ______(乐观的) about the economic situation.75.It seemed that the driver is to ______(责备) for the accident.第二节:短文改错(共10小题,每题1.5分,满分15分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

In the morning I would be forced to lie on my bed and stuck in my 13 just to button my jeans. I feared school14 . The sale rack, with its slender size markers, knew my number continued to grow.I learned 15 to eat from my dad: fast and without thinking. In our house, the dinner table involved 16 , with the children on defense. One 17 move and our dinner would be snatched off our plates without warning and eaten up by our father 18than we could blink.

I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all thefarms, one after another, and I knew their prices.The nearest thing that I came to actual owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about tow miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buyit before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.I wasn’t really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that aslong as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.31.What do we know about the author?A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.B. He made a study of many farms before buying.C. He made money by buying and selling farms.D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.32.Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?A. It was of good market value.B. It was next to the highway.C. It was in a good position.D. It was behind a nice garden.33.The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refers to _____.A. the money the author lost in buying a farmB. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell placeC. the removal of the trees around the houseD. the failure to possess the Hollowell place34.What does the author believe as important in life?A. To own a farm.B. To satisfy his needs.C. To be free from worries.D. To live in the countryside.BYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be avictim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, a nd life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspirenot only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.35.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. People and things around you.B. Opportunities and problems.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferings.36.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.37.The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _____.A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victimsB. people need family support to deal with challengers in lifeC. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their painsD. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life38.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To define victims and creators.B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.CAs demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source at hand if we’re to meet the world’s needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they’re needed most. And that’s only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied natural gas (LNG), is not nearly as developed.So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gasin an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of game change without warning. The sustainable development to ensure they’ll have enough supplies in the future, that means building the related facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to buildthe complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.Expanding and diversifying energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. We’ve taken some steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.39.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Gas played a major part in the 20th century.B. Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.C. Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.D. Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.40.The underlined word “one” (in Para graph 2) refers to _____.A. the gas supply sideB. the business environmentC. the gas consuming nationD. the policy for gas development41.The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. warn people of the lack of power and fuelB. discuss the importance of oil and natural gasC. call for better use and development of natural gasD. instruct people how to make use of energy sources42.The passage might be followed by a paragraph about _____.A. what kind of help you can offerB. where energy sources are concentratedC. which countries are in great need of gasD. what problems of energy sources we may faceDHow Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment caninfluence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers—Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw,” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That‘s what we’re all struggling with.”43.What does Joan Meyers—Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Windows.D. Furniture.44.The passage tells us that _____.A. the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelingsB. lower ceilings may help improve students’creativityC. children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed45.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _____.A. the problem is not approached step by stepB. the researches so far have faults in themselvesC. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns46.Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point(次要点)C: ConclusionEHumans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientistshave made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms, However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of make—believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connectionwith the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.47.The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves _____.A. the close connection between man and the fantasy worldB. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC. the fine taste of moviegoers around the worldD. the general existence of the sense of curiosity48.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.B. The world around us could serve as a sound of wonder.C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.D. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.49.If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make—believe, we will _____.A. fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB. be confused by the world of make—believeC. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us50.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.D. To discuss the influence of the world of make—believe.第二节补全对话(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)—Excuse me, madam. Do you mind if I ask you some questions?

Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well—conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long—distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstaclespresented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.[2]For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long—distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten—mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.[3]Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It didn’t matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.[4]When Nyad ______________________________, she continued to try new things—traveling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others,just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.56.What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games? (No more than 5 words)57.What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? (1 word)58.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.(No more than 10 words)59.Why did Nyad believe that she had touched the other shore?

(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)ABeautiful cars surrounded by even more beautiful models—it’s no secret why the 2012 Beijing Auto Show was popular.The exhibition was held between April 23 and May 2.Although renowned companies showed off their top models,it wasn’t just their expensive sports cars that grabbed people’s attention.Concept cars are a way for designers to test out their ideas on the public with complete freedom.They can try out cars with special features that could not be massively(批量)produced easily.Designers don’t have to follow industry rules;they don’t even need to worry about whether their cars would be fllowed on the roads.At the Beijing Auto Show,the@Ant by Chery was one concept car to draw a lot of attention.China Daily called it‘‘the very definition of a concept car”.The vehicle is powered by electricity and is capable of driving itself.But the magic doesn’t end there.The@Ant was inspired by actual ants.According to Car News China,with the help of automated telemetric systems,@Ants are able to“see” other@Ants and compare destination information. If two are heading the same way for a while, the vehicles connect, with one car’s rear (后面的)wheels matching up with the front wheels of another car.Up to 10@Ants can be put together and will automatically connect to form a“train".This will help save energy while traveling, as well reducing traffic jams.The car sounds like a great idea.Further research will be needed to turn this concept car into something for the market,but concepts like Chery’s show how carmakers are working for cleaner and greener vehicles.It’s like what the@Ant motto says,“Exploring future human beings’lifestyles”.31.The concept car is getting popular because .A.it looks like an antB.it is beautifully designedC.it is exhibited as a top modelD.it conveys a new idea for the future32.How can the@Ants help save energy while travelling according to the passage?A.By connecting each other and running together.B.By driving themselves without man’s control.C.By comparing their destination information.D.By reducing traffic jams on the roads.33.What the designers of the concept car need to do at the Auto Show is .A.to test the safety of the concept carB.to follow the rules in the car industryC.to show their unique idea of complete freedomD.to see if concept cars can be massively produced34.The best title of the passage is .A.Concept Cars Are Driving to the FutureB.The@Ant Draws a Lot of AttentionC.The@Ant Is a Top Model of Concept CarsD.Concept Cars Are Cleaner and GreenerBAs a leading safari(狩猎游)company in Kenya,Game-watchers has been recognized s the TourOperator of 20 11 Kenya Travel Awards,and rewarded with some other international tour prizes in recent years.Safari tours go to some of the best wildlife national parks and game parks in Africa,even the Masai Mara in Kenya.We are ready to offer a more personalized service,including staying in smaller safari eco-camps and providing high quality professional safari guides,plus 4x4 safari vehicles for game drives.We can also offer you the choice to fly straight into the wildlife areas,using light airplane,to avoid lengthy road journeys.Here is a typical Tour Plan of Game-watchers(2 nights/3 days)If you have any further questions, please contact us at www.

He warned that this kind of lifestryl can damage students’ mental and physical development.“When you constantly stare at a computer screen and type on your keyboard,you gradually lose the ability to socialize and survive normally,"said Shi.“A human’s most important task is to survive,which cannot be completed by staying at home all the time.Instead,it must be achieved through real life experience and communication.”39.What can we learn about Zhou Yunyun?A.He feels very lonely on campus.B.He will promote close-in culture.C.He will spend the Spring Festival with relatives.D.He will spend the Spring Festival with on-line friends.40.Spending the Spring Festival on campus for Jia Debao means .A.he will miss his parents a little bitB.there will be more seats in classroomsC.he will have a quiet and peaceful breakD.the speed of the Internet will get faster41.The underlined phrase“couch potato” is closest in meaning to .A.inactive person B.close friendC.sociable student D.addicted gamer42.What do education experts recommend students to do?A.To do some traveling.B.To stay more with families.C.To find empty seats in classrooms.D.To experience real lire and communication.DAll my life I had loved airports.To me,they were fl kind of magic gateway to the world,but today it seemed like a cold and heartless place.“Well,here we are,the airport,"my sister said with fl sigh.As 1 watched her unload my luggage,I could see the sadness in her eyes.One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new lire abroad,leaving my beloved sister behind.I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears,she was trying to keep a brave face.“You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,”she said.“I am just going to walk away and not look back,” I said.As I held her one last time she whispered,“Don’t worry about me,I’ll be fine."“I’ll miss you,” I replied with tears in my eyes.As I promised,I did not look back。
