I didn't blame him. We looked forward to our annual week at the Jersey Shore all year. Four of us—my mom, my husband, and Colin—rented the second floor of a large summerhouse. Th ere’s plenty of fun for all the family. I would have loved to have another week there too."Sorry, buddy, "I told Colin, "but we can't afford it. " “What if I prayed for it?" he asked. "You can pray for anything you want, "I told him. TT1 pray that we can have an extra week next summer. Fll pray all year. 【told him it was a great idea, but once we got home I had a second thought. We had never been able to come up with the money for a two-week stay. Maybe I should be reminding Colin that sometimes our prayer requests would not be replied. But I couldn't bring myself to do it・ All year round when Colin said his prayers, he would mention the extra week at the beach house.The next summer found us back with our whole family at the same beach house—for one week only- Colin didn't seem too disappointed as we were packing up to leave on our last day. Just then, the phone rang・ My mom answered it. When she hung lip, she looked surprised. "That was the house's owner, "she said. “The people staying here next week just canceled・ He's offering it to us for a bargain price. "That bargain price was just low enough for us to cover. It was our family's only two-weekholiday, thanks to Colin.4.What did the author think of her son's request when saying “I didn't blame him： ? _____A.Reasonable.B. Unbelievable.C. Ridiculous. D・ Strange.5 ・What does the underlined word “it" in Paragraph 2 refer to? ______A • Borrowing money.B • Staying another week •C.Praying for an extra week-D. Having enough time.6.Which of the following best describes Colin? ______A. Generous.B. Determined.C. Honest. D・ Brave.7.What can we learn from the last paragraph? _____A.They canceled their holiday for the next year.B.Colin got extremely disappointed upon leaving.C・ Their dream to have a two-week holiday came true・D.The author's mother called the house owner for a bargaining・cIt may he」p you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech・ At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners, why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say, they hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wro^ngly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don^t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesift really matte r. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech一"I have a dream^, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performanee rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They arelooking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don，t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.& The underlined pail in the first paragraph means that no one will ________ •A. be smarter than youB. do better than youC.notice your mistakesD. know what you are talking about9.You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ________ .A.you find the way of speech-making more importantB.you don't fully understand the speechC.you don't know what the speaker plans to sayD.you attention is on the content10.It can be inferred from the passage that ________ ・A.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badB.giving a speech is like giving a perfoimanceC.the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD.the more mistake a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be11.What would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB. How to Make a Perfect SpeechC. Don't Expect Mistakes in a SpeechD. Don't Expect a Perfect SpeechDThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated （隔绝）and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation（导航）tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations- Phil Blythe explains： "For many older people, particularly those living alone or in thecountry, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get outand about without having to rely on others ："But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.Thc result is that people stop driving before they really need to ：Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: "The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress .points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems/5"For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined.We*re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that?""We hope that our work will help with technological solutions （解决方案）to ensure that olderdrivers stay safer behind the wheel ；12. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A. To explore new means of transport.C. To find out older drivers 1 problems. 13. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?14. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?B • Develop driver -assist technologies.15. What is the best title for the text?D.

NOK 120.BGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block outdisease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king ofEnglandin 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor inEuropelived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king ofFrance, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit(优点) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And thelatter position is gaining some ground.4. The kings ofFranceandEnglandin the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as cause of skin diseaseD. They believed disease could be spread in public baths5. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. CuriousB. AfraidC. ApprovingD. Uninterested6. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of time.B. By making comparison.C. By providing examplesD. By following the order of importance.17. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passages?A. To call attention to the danger of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To stress the role of dirt.C8. The five passes all include ________.A. a dinner cruiseB. a magic showC. a city tourD. a trolley ride9. Accordingto the rules and restrictions, ________.A. visitors can return their ticketsB. reservations cannot be cancelledC. passes cannot be shared among usersD. users can visit attractions more than once10. To make reservations, you can ________.A. write an e-mailB. make a phone callC. send a text messageD. fill out an online form11. In which section of a newspaper would you most likely find this advertisement?A. Leisure & TravelB. Health & BeautyC. Restaurants & FoodD. Sports & EntertainmentDThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conductedin Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A new study of different plants.B. A big fall in crime rates.C. Employees from various workplaces.D. Benefits from green plants.13. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?A. To detect plants’ lack of waterB. To change compositions of plantsC. To make the life of plants longer.D. To test chemicals in plants.14. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?A. They will speed up energy production.B. They may transmit electricity to the home.C. They might help reduce energy consumption.D. They could take the place of power plants.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Can we grow more glowing plants?B. How do we live with glowing plants?C. Could glowing plants replace lamps?D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously hurt, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute fail to open, and he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for “men only”. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action.Now there are “stuntgirls” too!1．Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A．Film Stars.

The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Traveling, just like reading, is a refreshing journey from the busy world.

The fancy natural scenery and life there, along with the author’s romantic and intensive emotions will inspire you to explore themysterious land. Reading the book is like participating in a dialogue with the author, who is sincere and humorous.4. Lotus,2006, by AnnbabyThis novel set in Tibet, tells three people’s stories, each with their unique characteristics.

No matter if they’re a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says.McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them, I just don’t think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV.It’s safe to say the challenge was effective.“I feel spe cial,” said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.”5．What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Presented. B．Rejected.C．Ignored. D．Evaluated.6．How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first? A．Nervous. B．Thrilled.C．Curious.

If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, ＂5-second rule!＂This so-called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of food—bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on various types of flooring-carpet, laminate(复合地板), and tile (瓷砖) for three seconds to 30 seconds.Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer from carpet, while they’re most likely to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces after more than five seconds.The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carried an infection(感染) risk. ＂It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time,＂ Hilton told Forbes.9．What is the ＂5-second r ule＂ about?A．People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.B．Food is safe when you pick up off the floor in less than five seconds.C．It’s better to eat dropped food when it’s been on the floor for over five seconds. D．Food will go bad when dropped on the floor in five second or less.10．Hilton’s test wanted to find out ________.A．if the ＂5-second rule＂ is trueB．the students’ favourite foodC．which food is easily droppedD．if different types of floor have different bacteria11．According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.A．the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longerB．the dropped food on carpet had the least bacteriaC．bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tied surfacesD．the wetter food was more likely to pick up bacteria12．According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped food does NOT depend on _______.A．how long the food sits on the floor B．what the dropped food wasC．what the bacteria are D．what the weather is like that dayDYou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memori es suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.”Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks atta chment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if y ou take them on holiday and there’s no internet,” says Griffiths.13．Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A．We waste too much time on phones.B．Phones have become part of some users.C．Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D．Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.14．According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A．we are accustomed to having a phone on usB．we need our phones to help us store informationC．we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD．we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble15．Where can you probably find the above passage?A．In a research report. B．In a fashion brochure.C．In a science textbook. D．In a popular science magazine.第二节（共5小题；每小题是2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A“I’ve always loved food，” says Cassie Dawson in the kitchen of her flatin London。

“But I’ve become bored with eating out。

I've had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them！ At one point， fed up with my complaint， a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs.。

.”Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party — you go to a stranger’s house and he/she cooks dinner for you。

Like a restaurant, you payfor your food, but like a dinner party， you eat at the same table as other people。

They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu andlittle information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.“It’s like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning，I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV back and it’s myli ving room again.”Cassie opens her “restaurant" for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings she’s had so far。
