【浙江专升本】2014年浙江专升本英语真题及答案

2014年浙江专升本考试《英语》真题卷参考答案与解析Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section A （每小题2分）Format ⅠPassage One1. B【解析】主旨题。

此题解题技巧是：文章以问题开头，往往可从其后紧跟的句子中概括出主旨题的答案。

本文开头的问句有两个，涉及where与who，因此可以排除最大的干扰项C，而更有概括性的选项B为正确答案。

2. B【解析】细节题。

细节题常用的一个出题套路是正确选项不是照抄原文，而是对原文进行同义替换。

本题B选项的leftover food就同义替换了原文第二段中的scraps of food。

3. C【解析】细节题。

此题不难，定位到第三段“She replaced the soft center with spices and nut s”一句，很容易得出正确答案C4. D【解析】词汇语义题。

对词汇量较小的考生来说，代入法是针对这类题目较为实用的解题技巧。

即用四个选项逐项替代原词，看看哪个选项最符合上下文的逻辑。

定位到第三段最后一句，根据常识，用拳头击打炸面圈的中间，很可能中间会被打出一个洞来。

因此，选项D“result（后果）”一词最合题意。

5. B【解析】推断题。

倒数第二段说到，这些“Doughnut Girls（炸面圈女孩）”都在靠近士兵的危险地方工作，这里的“dangerous conditions near the soldiers（靠近士兵危险地方）”玩的是文字游戏，显然指的就是靠近前线战场的地方，因此B为正确选项。

Passage Two6.A【解析】短语语义题。

本文的前两句很容易利用对照关系确定plain是gook look的反义，即长相平凡之意。

而且本文围绕着长相与收入的关系展开，因此，可确定A为正确答案。

7. D【解析】细节题中的数学题。

首先要提醒各位考生，凡是数字题正确答案一般都要经过简单的计算，涉及原文数字的选项则多为陷阱。

浙江省统考专升本英语2014年作文题目全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite ToyHi there! My name is Lily and I'm nine years old. Today, my teacher asked us to write about our favorite toy and why we like it so much. Well, that's an easy one for me because my absolute favorite toy in the whole wide world is my stuffed elephant named Ellie!Ellie has been with me for as long as I can remember. My grandma gave her to me when I was just a tiny baby. Whenever I look at Ellie, I feel so happy and loved because she reminds me of my grandma's warm hugs and her sweet smiles. Grandma lives far away, so having Ellie makes me feel like a little bit of her is always with me.Ellie is the softest, cuddliest stuffed animal you'll ever meet. Her gray fur is so velvety smooth, and her body is perfectly squishy for snuggling. I love to bury my face in her tummy and breathe in her familiar, comforting scent. It smells like home,safety, and endless playtimes. Whenever I'm feeling sad or scared, holding Ellie close makes everything better.My favorite part of Ellie is her long trunk. It's stretchy and bendy, so I can wrap it around my wrist or use it as a handle to carry her wherever I go. Sometimes, I pretend Ellie is a real elephant and I'm her zookeeper or a brave explorer on a safari adventure. We go on incredible imaginary journeys together, swinging from vines and splashing in rivers and seeing all kinds of exotic animals. Ellie is the best adventure buddy an explorer could ask for!I take Ellie with me everywhere – to school, to my friends' houses, even to the grocery store with Mom and Dad. She's more than just a stuffed animal; she's a part of my little family. When I'm having a bad day, Ellie always cheers me up with her sweet elephant smile. And every night when I go to bed, she keeps me company and protects me from bad dreams and monsters under the bed. I don't know what I'd do without her!Some kids might think it's babyish for a third grader like me to still sleep with a stuffed animal. But those kids just don't understand how awesome and important Ellie is. She's been my very best friend since before I can even remember. We've been through so much together – learning to walk, losing my firsttooth, my first day of school. Ellie was right there by my side for all of it. We share a million special memories, and I know we'll make a million more as we keep on growing up side by side.That's why Ellie will always, always be my favorite toy, no matter how old I get. She's not just soft and cuddly; she's like a furry little piece of my heart that I can hug anytime I need to. As long as I have my sweet Ellie elephant, I'll never be lonely. She's the most loved, most traveled, most irreplaceable toy in the entire universe. And I can't wait to take her on many more grand adventures!篇2My Favorite ThingsHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm in the 5th grade and I love writing stories. My teacher Mrs. Park asked us to write an essay for homework on our favorite things. I thought it would be really fun to write about all the stuff I love the most!First up is my family. I have the best mom, dad, and little brother ever. My mom's name is Jing and she is so kind and caring. She always makes my favorite foods like dumplings, fried rice, and hot pot. My dad Jin works really hard at his job but he still finds time to play games with me and take me to the park.And then there's my goofy little brother Liang who is 6 years old. He does silly things that make me laugh all the time! We fight sometimes but I really love him.Another one of my favorite things is my dog Buddy. He's a golden retriever and just a big bundle of energy and love. Buddy greets me so happily when I get home from school every day, wagging his tail and licking my face. He's super playful and loves to catch frisbees and play tug-of-war with his rope toys. I like to snuggle up and read books with Buddy cuddled next to me. He's my best furry friend!School is one of my favorites too, believe it or not! I love learning new things and my classes are really interesting. My favorite subject is science because I'm obsessed with animals and nature. I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up to study whales, dolphins, and other amazing sea creatures. Math class is cool too because I'm a total math whiz. English is hard for me but I'm getting better thanks to my nice teacher Mrs. Park. She makes grammar fun with songs and games.Summer is definitely my favorite season! I love swimming at the community pool and having big water fights with my friends. We also go camping a lot as a family in the nice weather. Sleeping in a tent under the stars is so peaceful and fun. We tellghost stories, make s'mores over the campfire, and go on long hikes to see cool plants and critters. Summer is the best!Speaking of the outdoors, one of my top favorite places is the Moganshan rainforest reserve near my grandparents' home. The lush green trees, colorful birds, and wandering trails make me feel like I've stepped into another world. My grandpa used to be a ranger there so he takes us on guided tours and teaches me all about the plants and animals. I love breathing in the fresh, earthy scent and listening to the sounds of the forest.Food is another big love of mine! As I mentioned before, my mom makes incredible Chinese dishes. But I also adore pizza, hamburgers, pasta, ice cream, and pretty much any kind of dessert or snack. Chocolate is definitely my #1 vice - I can't get enough of chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, hot chocolate, you name it. It's soooooo delicious! When I'm craving something savory, french fries are my go-to choice, especially from McDonald's. Those crispy, golden, salty fries are just perfection to me.Well, I think I've covered most of my biggest loves and obsessions! As you can see, I'm a kid with a ton of different interests and passions. From family and pets to hobbies, nature, food, entertainment and more, there's so much I adore in thisworld. Life is just so bright, vibrant, and full of amazing things to discover. I feel very lucky and grateful to have such a happy childhood surrounded by so many of my favorite things and people. Can't wait to see what other cool stuff I'll get into as I keep growing up!篇3My Grandpa's GardenHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I love spending time with my grandpa because he's the best storyteller ever! He grew up on a farm and always has amazing tales to share about his childhood adventures. But my favorite thing about Grandpa is his incredible garden. It's like a magical paradise full of wonderful surprises!Grandpa's garden is huge - it takes up nearly his entire backyard. As soon as you step inside, you're surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and delicious smells. Grandpa grows all sorts of flowers, veggies, fruits and herbs. He says keeping a garden is hard work but that's what makes it so rewarding.In the spring, the first blooms appear and perfume the air with their sweet scents. Bright yellow daffodils poke through the soil, followed by purple and white crocuses. Soon after,Grandpa's prized tulips open in shades of red, pink, orange and yellow. He has an entire tulip bed with hundreds of bulbs! The bees absolutely love buzzing around those velvety petals.Once the warm weather arrives, Grandpa's garden is an explosion of life and vibrancy. Towering sunflowers stretch toward the sun while bushy tomato plants are weighed down with ripe red fruits. Juicy strawberries snuggle under leafy greens just waiting to be plucked. And don't get me started on Grandpa's roses - he has every variety you can imagine! My favorites are the cream-colored ones with delicate ruffled petals.The herb section is my second favorite spot. I love running my hands along the fragrant plants and inhaling their earthy, robust scents. Dill, rosemary, thyme, sage, lavender, mint - you name it and Grandpa grows it! He likes to grab handfuls and crush them between his palms, releasing those incredible aromas.But as much as I adore the flowers and herbs, I think I like the vegetable patch best. That's where Grandpa taught me all about growing my own food and respecting nature's bounty. We've planted everything from leafy greens and root veggies to beans, peas, squash and corn. There's nothing better than biting into a crisp carrot you pulled straight from the ground! Grandpa alwaysrecites his gardening motto: "From tiny seeds, mighty plants grow if tended with love and patience." So wise, that Grandpa!My job is to help water the garden every evening when it's cooler. Grandpa has an old metal watering can that I lug from plant to plant, carefully giving each one a refreshing drink. The water glistens like diamonds on the leaves and flower petals. It's hard work but I don't mind a bit. Just being surrounded by such vibrant life is reinvigorating.Once the harvesting begins, Grandpa and I spend hours picking bucketfuls of fresh produce. We've grown so much that we have plenty to share with neighbors and friends. Grandma cans and preserves like crazy too so we can enjoy our "garden goodies" all year round. Let me tell you, there's nothing more delicious than Grandma's famous vegetable soup made with Grandpa's homegrown veggies! He always sneaks a handful of his pungent herbs in at the very end too.I'm so lucky that Grandpa has instilled his passion for gardening in me from such a young age. Working side-by-side with him, getting my little hands dirty, has taught me incredible lessons about patience, hard work and appreciation for nature's cycles. It's amazing to watch those tiny seedlings blossom into big, bountiful plants - all through our loving care and efforts!I dream of having a garden like Grandpa's one day. He's already teaching me all his secret gardening wisdom so I'll be prepared. "Every flower and vegetable has a story," he always reminds me. Grandpa has shared so many heart-warming stories from his childhood on the farm. Someday, I'll be able to pass those stories - and my own new ones - down to future generations too.In the evenings after our gardening chores, Grandpa and I like to sit outside together and watch the sunset colors dance across the sky. We'll sip icy lemonade and breathe in the heavenly perfumes all around us as the garden falls into slumber. Those tranquil moments are pure magic. Grandpa always gives me a warm smile and says, "This garden is proof that with devotion and nurturing, seeds can blossom into something breathtakingly beautiful." I know he's not just talking about the plants. Deep down, he means life itself.Thanks for letting me tell you about Grandpa's amazing garden! It's honestly my favorite place on Earth. The garden has given me so many cherished memories - and life lessons - already. I feel blessed to have such a warm, giving soul like Grandpa to guide me. As long as we keep tending to thosespecial seeds of wisdom together, our bountiful garden of love and joy will never stop growing.篇4My Big DreamWow, getting to write about my dream for the future is so exciting! I'm only in 5th grade but I've had my dream job picked out for years. I want to be...a zookeeper! I love animals more than anything in the whole wide world. They are just the cutest, fuzziest, most adorable little creatures. I can't get enough of playing with my dog Rufus and watching all the animal shows on TV. My favorite is the one about the saltwater crocodiles in Australia - those things are massive!I've always loved going to the zoo ever since I was a tiny little kid. My earliest memory is going to the zoo for my 3rd birthday party. We got to go behind the scenes and see where they keep the baby monkeys! One of the zookeepers let me feed a bottle to the youngest one. It was so tiny and held my finger with its little hand while drinking the milk. My heart melted into a big puddle right there! From that day on, I knew I wanted to work with animals when I grew up.At our local city zoo, I've probably gone about a hundred times by now. I have all the exhibits completely memorized - I could give the tours myself! The zookeepers there are really nice and let me ask them tons of questions whenever we go. I've learned so much from them about how to properly take care of different species. Like did you know that gorillas are actually really shy and get embarrassed if you look them directly in the eyes? Or that giraffes only sleep for about 20 minutes each day? Wild!My absolute favorite animals at our zoo are probably the big cats like the lions and tigers. I'm always completely mesmerized watching them laze around in the warm sun. But then if they catch sight of something moving like a zookeeper with their food, they suddenly turn into these crazy fierce hunters! Their eyes get all narrowed and they start stalking around checking out the scene. Then in a massive burst of energy, they'll pounce on their meal. It's so amazing to witness their raw power up close like that.The more I learn about zoo animals, the more I realize how much work goes into keeping them all healthy and happy. Zookeepers have to be super knowledgeable about each species - what their nutritional needs are, how their habitats need to beset up, what temperatures and humidity levels they like, how to safely work with them for check-ups, all of it. It's a lot of responsibility! But that's why I want to do it so badly. I'm determined to be the best zookeeper those animals have ever had.My parents keep telling me that being a zookeeper is a really hard job and the animals can be dangerous if you get too close. I always tell them "No way, not for me! Those animals will be my friends." I'm not worried about getting hurt at all. I just have a way with critters y'know? Whenever I see a dog or squirrel outside, I make this little kissing sound and they always come right over to me. My family calls me a real-life Dr. Dolittle!It will probably take a very long time before I'm finally old enough to apply for zookeeper training. You have to go to university and get a degree in biology or zoology first. But I'm already working on getting prepared for that step. For my 10th birthday last year, my parents replaced my fish tank with a much bigger one that has a 3D background painted like an ocean scene. I've been studying up on how to cycle the water, test for ammonia and nitrates, and all the other science behind keeping an aquarium healthy. Looking after those fishies is getting me ready!In a few more years when I'm in high school, I plan on volunteering at our city zoo as a junior zookeeper assistant on the weekends. I'll finally get to go behind the scenes and get hands-on experienced with feeding routines, cleaning enclosures, and learning the personalities of each individual animal. I'm sure once they get to know me they'll just adore me as much as I adore them. Maybe I'll even get to bottle-feed another baby animal - that would be a dream come true!After university, who knows where in the world I'll end up as a zookeeper? I have my sights set on possibly the famous San Diego Zoo in California or the wildlife reserves in Africa. Can you imagine getting to look after real live lions and elephants every single day? That would be unbelievably amazing! Although honestly, I'd be just as happy working at a small local zoo somewhere too. As long as I get to spend all my time caring for animals and learning everything about them, I'll be so crazy happy.Sometimes I let my mind wander and picture what my life will be like in 20 years. I'll wake up bright and early before the sun rises to start my morning routine around the zoo grounds. I'll prepare all the meals for my protégés - fresh bamboo for the篇5My Favorite ToyHi there! My name is Tommy, and I'm eight years old. I'm in the third grade, and today my teacher asked us to write an essay about our favorite toy. Well, that's an easy one for me! My favorite toy is definitely my stuffed bear named Mr. Snuggles.I've had Mr. Snuggles for as long as I can remember. Mom says she got him for me when I was just a tiny baby, and we've been best friends ever since. He's a big, soft, brown teddy bear with a friendly face and a cute little bow tie. His fur is so fluffy and cuddly, it's like giving a big hug to a cloud!I take Mr. Snuggles everywhere with me. He's my constant companion, whether I'm playing in my room, going to school, or even just watching TV on the couch. Whenever I'm feeling sad or scared, all I have to do is give him a big squeeze, and suddenly everything feels better.One of my favorite things to do with Mr. Snuggles is to have pretend tea parties. I'll set up a little table with my plastic tea set, and we'll sit down together and "drink" our imaginary tea. Sometimes I'll even put on a fancy hat and talk in a silly British accent, just for fun. Mr. Snuggles is always such a good listener, and he never interrupts or makes fun of me.At night, Mr. Snuggles sleeps right next to me in my bed. I know some kids might think it's babyish to still sleep with a stuffed animal, but I don't care. Mr. Snuggles helps keep me safe from monsters under the bed and bad dreams. Plus, he's just so cozy to snuggle up with!I remember one time when I was really little, maybe four or five years old, I lost Mr. Snuggles at the park. I was so upset, I cried and cried until mom found him under a bench. I was so relieved to have him back in my arms, I hugged him extra tight and made a promise never to lose him again.Even though I'm getting older now, I know I'll always love and cherish Mr. Snuggles. He's more than just a toy to me – he's my best friend in the whole world. When I'm an adult, I'll probably still keep him around, just for old times' sake. Maybe I'll even pass him down to my own kids someday, so they can experience the same joy and comfort that Mr. Snuggles has brought me.So that's why Mr. Snuggles is my favorite toy. He's been with me through thick and thin, always there to lend a cuddly ear or a soft shoulder to cry on. Some people might think stuffed animals are just for babies, but to me, Mr. Snuggles will always be acherished friend and companion. I can't imagine my life without him!篇6Certainly! Here's an essay of about 2,000 words, written from the perspective of an elementary school student, as if it were a response to a 2014 Zhejiang Province entrance examination essay prompt for upgrading from junior college to university:My Awesome Summer VacationHi there! My name is Andy and I just got back from the best summer vacation ever! I'm a kid in 5th grade and I had sooooo much fun over the past few months. You won't believe all the amazing things I got to do and see. Let me tell you all about it!It all started on the last day of school back in June. I was super excited because my parents had planned this awesome trip for us as a family. We were going to go see my aunt and uncle who live out in the countryside near Anji County. They have this big farm with lots of animals and wide open spaces to run around in.The morning we left, I could hardly sit still in the car I was so hyped up! The drive took forever, or at least it felt like it did tome. I kept asking "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" like a million times. My little sister was being really annoying and wouldn't stop singing stupid songs. But I didn't even care because I was just too pumped about our vacation.When we finally made it to my aunt and uncle's place, it was everything I dreamed of and more! They had chickens, pigs, sheep, and even a couple horses. The best part was they let me help out feeding the animals and taking care of them. Every morning I got up bright and early to let the chickens out and collect their eggs. Man, there's nothing like a fresh egg straight from the chicken coop!In the afternoons, I loved going on long walks and hikes around their land with my aunt. She knew so much about all the different plants and trees. She taught me which berries were safe to eat and which ones would make you sick. We picked tons of wild strawberries that were the most delicious things I've ever tasted. My aunt showed me how to make a whistle out of a blade of grass too. That was really cool!Some days we went fishing down at the big pond on their property. My uncle is a master fisherman and he taught me all his secrets and techniques. I caught my first fish ever - a big old bass! We cooked it up for dinner that night with some veggiesfrom their garden. My aunt makes the yummiest food from all her fresh ingredients.But that's not all we did, not even close! Another awesome day, my uncle took me to this park about an hour away. It was kind of like a forest playground with all these crazy wooden bridges, treehouses, zip lines and more. He let me run totally wild and free through the whole place. We played intense games of hide-and-seek and tag for hours. I was whooped by the time we left but it was an absolute blast!On the Fourth of July, we had a massive celebration at my aunt and uncle's farm. What made it really special though was that a bunch of their friends came over too with their families. There were kids my age to play with! We had mayhem-filled water balloon fights and did silly dancing contests. As it got dark, all the parents lit off these incredible fireworks. The whole night sky was lit up in blazing colors. I've never seen anything quite like it.Throughout the rest of the summer, we did so many other super fun activities too like going to museums, parks, hiking, swimming, seeing movies, and just generally having a great time. My aunt and uncle really know how to make the most of everysingle day. They were always coming up with creative new activities and adventures for us.Honestly, I learned so much from them about all sorts of things - how to take care of animals, identifying plants and trees, fishing techniques, appreciation for nature and the outdoors, and most of all just having a laidback, free-spirited kind of lifestyle. They were true masters at really enjoying the simple pleasures in life.My absolute favorite part though was just the quality time we got to spend together as a family. No school, no homework, no extracurricular activities...just us hanging out, relaxing, and making fun memories. Don't get me wrong, I love school and my friends and all that. But there's something really special about taking a break from all of that and just being 100% present with your loved ones too.By the time August rolled around and it was time to head back home, I was kind of bummed. That vacation was just what my soul needed - peace, nature, imagination, excitement, love. I'm so grateful my parents made it happen for us. It's funny because usually kids can't wait to get back home after being away for awhile. But after this trip, I actually wished we could have stayed at my aunt and uncle's place just a little bit longer.Even though the summer is over now, I'm going to hold on tight to all those amazing memories we made. Whenever I'm having a rough day or feeling stressed out, I'll just close my eyes and think back to those long summer days on the farm. I can vividly picture myself hiking through wildflower fields, petting the velvety noses of the horses, and watching a million stars twinkling in the night sky. My heart feels happy and free just reminiscing about it all.Yup, that summer at my aunt and uncle's place was absolutely life-changing and magical for me. I already can't wait for next summer so we can go back and do it all over again! Only a few more months to go. Hang in there Andy, hang in there...the fun and adventures will return before you know it. Honestly though, my biggest takeaway is that you don't need to go on some crazy exotic vacation to have an amazing time. Sometimes the greatest memories happen simply by being surrounded by those you love most in this world. That's a lesson I'll never forget.。

浙江省统考专升本英语2014年作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Zhejiang Province Unified Examination for Adult Higher Education English Writing 2014Introduction:In 2014, the Zhejiang Province Unified Examination for Adult Higher Education included an English writing section. This section aimed to test the candidates' ability to express themselves in written English and demonstrate their understanding of the language. The essay prompt focused on a contemporary social issue, requiring candidates to analyze the issue and provide their own insights and opinions.Essay:The essay prompt for the Zhejiang Province Unified Examination for Adult Higher Education in 2014 was: "Discuss the impact of social media on interpersonal relationships in today's society." This topic is highly relevant in the age of technology and social media, as these platforms have become anintegral part of how we communicate and interact with one another.Social media has revolutionized the way we connect with others, allowing us to stay in touch with friends and family members regardless of geographical distances. However, it has also led to changes in the nature of our relationships, asface-to-face interactions are increasingly being replaced by virtual communication. This shift has both positive and negative impacts on interpersonal relationships.On the positive side, social media has made communication more convenient and efficient. We can now easily share updates, photos, and thoughts with a wide audience in real time. This has brought people closer together and facilitated connections that would not have been possible otherwise. Social media platforms also provide a space for us to express ourselves and showcase our personalities, hobbies, and interests, which can help to strengthen relationships and foster a sense of community.However, the reliance on social media for communication has also had negative consequences for interpersonal relationships. Some argue that the rise of social media has led to a decrease in the quality of our interactions, as face-to-face communication is often replaced by impersonal messages andemojis. This can make it difficult to truly connect with others and can lead to misunderstandings or lack of empathy. Additionally, social media can create feelings of jealousy, insecurity, and FOMO (fear of missing out) as we compare our lives to those of others on these platforms.In conclusion, social media has had a profound impact on interpersonal relationships in today's society. While it has made communication more convenient and connected us in new ways, it has also altered the nature of our interactions and raised concerns about the quality of our relationships. It is important for us to strike a balance between using social media as a tool for staying connected and maintaining meaningful face-to-face relationships with those around us.篇2Zhejiang Province Unified Entrance Examination for Adult Higher Education English 2014In recent years, there has been an increasing trend for adults in Zhejiang Province to pursue higher education through the unified entrance examination.

With the rapid development of industry and technology, our environment has been greatly damaged, leading to various problems such as pollution, deforestation, and climate change. It is high time for usto realize the importance of environmental protection and take actions to preserve our planet for future generations.First and foremost, we need to reduce pollution by decreasing our carbon emissions and using renewable energy sources. Air and water pollution have a detrimental impact on our health and ecosystems, so we must use cleaner technologies and support policies that promote sustainability. Additionally, we should reduce our waste production by practicing recycling and reusing materials, which can reduce our reliance on landfills and incinerators.Furthermore, we need to protect our forests and natural habitats from destruction. Deforestation not only contributes to climate change, but also leads to loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction for many species. We can support conservation efforts by planting trees, creating wildlife corridors, and preserving natural areas for future generations to enjoy.In conclusion, environmental protection is a crucial issue that requires the cooperation of individuals, communities, and governments around the world. By taking small actions in our daily lives, such as reducing our waste and supporting sustainable practices, we can make a big impact on the health ofour planet. Let us work together to protect our environment and create a sustainable future for all.(Word Count: 223)。

PartⅠReading Comprehension(共60分)Section A(共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)Directions:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C，and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40 points)Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without.We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds.Moreover,an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment.Such an increase presumes(意味着)an abundant and cheap energy supply.Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible(用不完的)and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society.There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy.Firstly,nuclear power,except for accidents,is clean.A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff.The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and,whatever the anti-nuclear group says,it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel.However,opponents of nuclear energy point out thatnuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.Furthermore,it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have,for example,been very costly accidents in America,in Britain and,of course,in Russia.The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium(铀)in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market.In the long run,environmentalists argue,nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology(生态)to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race.Thus,if we wish to survive,we cannot afford nuclear energy.In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above,nuclear energy programs are expanding.Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands.However,it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue.Having weighed up the arguments on both sides,it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.1.According to the passage,what can help solve the social problem of unemployment?A.Developing science and technology.B.Increasing the industrial production.C.Increasing the demand for commercial products.D.Providing an abundant and cheap energy supply.2.Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why some people support the nuclearenergy?A.Nuclear energy cannot be used up and it is clean.B.Nuclear energy saves money and manpower.C.Nuclear energy is symbolic of the scientific development.D.Nuclear energy brings people comfort and convenience.3.Which of the following statements may the writer agree with?A.Nuclear energy programs will undoubtedly continue expanding.B.The demand for commercial products will surely keep growing in any case.C.Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological reasons.D.The increasing cost may possibly force nuclear energy to withdraw from the market.4.The writer mentions the nuclear accidents in America,Britain and Russia to showthat.A.if an accident should happen,it would cost a lot of moneyB.there will be no uranium to be used in the futureC.nuclear waste is a potential danger to human healthD.nuclear energy will finally destroy the human beings5.What is the writer’s attitude towards nuclear energy?A.indifferentB.tolerantC.negativeD.supportivePassage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:Lloyd Slocum was unemployed for18months,but like hundreds of thousands of Americans, he’s working part time this holiday shopping season,unloading trucks and stocking shelves for a Bealls store in Port St.Lucie,Fla.“It gives you something to look forward to,”says Slocum,29.He plans to use cash to buy his father a Christmas present and hopes to move on to a full-time position with Bealls/Burke’s stores,a Sunbelt chain.Black Friday,the official start of holiday shopping heat,also kicks off the less-celebrated season of the part-time worker.Retailers(零售商)alone are hiring about5000,000seasonal employees this year,most of whom are part time,according to the National Retail Federation. Retailers’recent shift to opening on Thanksgiving or midnight on Black Friday has intensified the need for part-time workers.Holiday jobs offer financial and emotional lifeline for many of the nation’s jobless.They also point up a troubling reality:A near-record number of Americans are working part-time throughout the year,even though they would prefer full-time jobs.It’s not just because of the sluggish economy(萧条的经济).Economists cite a broader,longer-term shift toward part-time work as employers cut expenses and more precisely match staffing with the ebbs and flows of customer demand.The number of part-timers who really want full-time positions——so-called involuntary part-time employees——has risen from8.4million in January to8.9million last month,according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.The total has hovered at8.5million to9million since early 2009——double the pre-recession level.By contrast,the tally of unemployed Americans has stayed flat at about13.9million this year and is down from about15million in late2009as employers have added a modest2million or so jobs.The disparity underscores how the nation’s official9%jobless rate doesn't fully reflect the toll inflicted by a half-speed economic recovery.6.Lloyd Slocum is one of those American who.A.volunteer to unload trucks and stock shelvesB.seek only full time positions with retailersC.prefer to be paid in cash to checksD.offer to do part-time holiday jobs7.The employers offer seasonal jobs for holidays mainly because.A.business is getting slowerB.customer demand growsC.less-celebrated season endsD.full-time position are filled up8.In American“Black Friday”usually marks the beginning of.A.24-hour work shiftsB.Thanksgiving dinnerC.Christmas celebrationsD.a holiday shopping9.Why does the writer say“holiday jobs offer financial and emotional lifeline”?A.They are a steady staff supply for employersB.They give hope and support to the joblessC.They help cut the expenses for retailersD.They point to a troubling reality10.The growing number of part-timers indicates that.A.there is a noticeable shift in attitude toward workB.the unemployment rate has reached a record highC.American economy is recovering unsatisfactorilyD.the nation’s official jobless rate is not reliablePassage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:We covet their food,their wine and their confounding ability to stay slim while consuming both…but should we be admiring the French for their parenting skills,as well?In her very buzzy new book,“Bringing Up Bebe,”American mom and Paris resident Pamela Druckerman makes the argument that the French have a leg up on rearing their children.“There’s something about the way the French parent that makes it less of a grind and more of a pleasure,”writes Druckerman,a former Wall Street Journal reporter.She cites a2009 study finding mothers in Ohio think caring for their children is far less pleasant than mothers in Rennes,France.What exactly do French parents do that’s so different from their American counterparts?A few examples:Teaching kids patience and self-control through delayed gratification:French parents teach their children to wait for what they want from an early age——for a few minutes, usually——instead of immediately giving into kids’demands.“I’m now convinced that the secret of why French kids rarely whine or collapse into tantrums(发脾气)——or at least do so less than American kids——is that they’ve developed the internal resources to cope with frustration,”Druckerman writes.Sleep training often begins at birth:In France,babies are expected to be sleeping through the night by the time they’re four months old.Parents don’t ignore their babies’cries but they dopause before responding to them.“French parents believe it’s their job to gently teach babies to sleep well,”she writes.“They don’t view being up half the night with an eight-month-old as a sign of parental commitment.They don’t give in to guilt over spending time away from their kids:French women,believe that“it’s unhealthy for mothers and children to spend all their time together.…Children——even babies and toddlers——get to cultivate their inner lives without a mother’s constant interference.”11.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that.A.French people are superior to AmericansB.French food is better than French wine.C.French people are admirableD.French food is tasty12.The underlined words“have a leg up”in paragraph2probably means.A.offer helpB.gain advantageC.act fastD.stand up13.Druckerman cites the2009study in order to show that.A.French parents are more friendly to their childrenB.American parents love their children very muchC.French parents are more skillfulD.American parents enjoy caring for children14.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.American parents are more responsibleB.American parents often have to be up half the nightC.French parents often ignore babies,criesD.French parents feel guilty spending time away from their kids15.The writer may agree with the following statements except.A.French moms have more free timeB.French way of parenting is betterC.American kids are easily frustratedD.American kids are more independentPassage FourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:The U.S.Travel Association confirmed in a survey what many frustrated fliers already know: The No.1airport headache is passengers who pull too many carry-on bags through security and onto flights.That number has skyrocketed in recent years——86million more bags were carried on in the year than during the same period two years earlier,the Transportation Security Administration estimates.The reason for the carry-on jump is no mystery:All the major domestic airlines now charge tocheck(托运)even one bag,generally$25.To save money and time at the baggage claim, passengers carry as much as they can on board,with predictable consequences.At security checkpoints,these millions of extra bags,many of them densely packed,mean longer lines.Once past security,the fun continues at boarding.On a typical flight,there’s a fierce fight for scarce overhead bin space,extending the boarding process.Bags that are stuffed under seats make passengers even more uncomfortable.There has got to be a better way.In fact,there is.Here’s what a more sensible system would look like:No fee for the first piece of checked luggage.It would be better if airlines simply raised fares （机票）instead of fees.Limit the carry-on size and charge for large e templates(标尺)at the security checkpoints to cut off the monster bags that now often escape airline staff’s notice until they’re right at the door of the plane.Tax the airlines’income from fees the same way that fares are taxed.Currently,the fees are tax free,encouraging airlines to generate income through fees rather than fare increases.We’re sympathetic to the airline industry’s need to make money,but the baggage fees——previously intended to offset rising fuel costs——have become an interruption that slows down the security check,offloads costs onto fliers and makes the boarding process even more unpleasant than it already is.16.What makes the air travelers most frustrated at the airport?A.The limited overhead bin space for bagsB.The number of bags they carry on boardC.The long line at the baggage claimD.The extra fee they have to pay for carry-ons17.What is the main cause of increasing number of carry-ons?A.The fee for the first piece of checked baggage.B.The tax placed on the fees on the carry-onsC.The bitter fight for the overhead bin space.D.The complicated boarding process.18.What does the author mean by saying“the fun continues at boarding”?A.It’s a great pleasure traveling by air.B.There are even more troubles at boarding.C.Passengers often feel relieved after passing security.D.Passengers can relax in comfort once they are on board.19.What is a predictable advantage to tax luggage fees according to the writer?A.To offset rising fuel costs.B.To keep the air fares from rising.C.To discourage airlines from profiting from fees.D.To stop oversized bags from passing the security.20.What is the writer’s attitude toward airline industry?A.CriticalB.SympatheticC.ApprovingD.IndifferentSection B（从7个选项中选5个，每空格2分，共10分）Directions:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions 21—25,choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the gaps.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(10marks)Food is fuel.You need it for energy.When you don’t eat,you lose energy.It’s that simple. 21Unfortunately,it is almost impossible to get your daily recommended nutrients if you don’t eat.The daily nutrients are vital to the healthy functioning of all parts of your body.And although you may not notice when your body is running well,you certainly will notice when it starts to break down.Good daily nutrition is the easiest way to achieve health and best performance.22 And the things you can’t see,including a healthy immune system,are directly related to what you eat as well.23As with all successful efforts,planning is the key.If you typically don’t have time for lunch, brown bag it and nibble when time allows.Energy bars,fruit,even a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich provides an adequate supply of nutrients to get you through the afternoon.24Skipping midday meals leads to unhealthy binge eating(大吃大喝)in the afternoon and at dinner.Skipping dinner often leads to a similar fate late at night,and sleeping on a full stomach has its own negative impacts.25Chop herbs,onions,and vegetables and keep them in your freezer.Prepare sauces, and pre-portion meats.When you’re busy,you’re more likely to eat if you have something ready to go than if you have to start from scratch(从零开始).To maintain a healthy eating schedule,routine is the key.Standardized menus may sound boring,but they make a lot of sense,especially if healthy eating is your goal.A.When you do cook,cook extra.B.Brain function,attentiveness,memory,and moods are all affected by nutrition.C.Your body needs a constant flow of energy to run smoothly,and eating regularly iscrucial to that end.D.If time is your problem,planning is the key.E.If you enjoy cooking,but are short of time,use your day off to prepare foods ahead

In1972it was replaced in name by Universal Coordinated Time(UTC)but that essentially remained the same as GMT,UTC is based on about400atomic clocks at laboratories around the world but then corrected with“leap seconds”(闰秒)to adjust itself in line with the Earth’s rotational speed,which fluctuates.But the tiny difference between Earth speed and atomic speed have become a problem for GPS,the global positioning systems and mobile phone networks on which the modern world relies.The meeting in London are looking at the possible effects of abandoning the leap seconds and moving fully to atomic time.That would see atomic time slowly move apart from GMT,by about one minute every60to90years,or by an hour every600years,and there would need to be “leap minutes”a couple of times a century to bring the two in line.British science minister David Willetts has opposed the plan by saying:“We should stick to real time as experienced by humans.Without leap seconds we will lose contact with the reality of Earth’s rotation.Eventually our midnight would happen at noon.”In January,the International Telecommunication Union will meet in Geneva to vote on whether to adopt the new measure,despite protests from Britain.56.Leading scientists are considering replacing.57.What will be voted on at Geneva meeting in January?. 58.What is new measure of timekeeping based on?.59.Leap minutes can be used to.60.How did Britain react to the proposal?.PartⅢTranslation(共30分)Section A Chinese-English Translation（共5小题，每小题3分，共15分）Directions:Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in the brackets.Please write your translation on The Answer Sheet.(15marks)61.The more careful you are,(你写作中可能犯的错误就越少).62.Not until he finished writing his report(他开始订火车票，开始出行).63.Parents(往往起到重要的作用)in theirchild’s personal development.64.The government should(把减少失业放在首要位置)in time of financial crises.65.When the teacher asked Joe(他是如何解开这道数学难题)，he smiled and handed her a book.Section B English-Chinese Translation（共5小题，每小题3分，共15分）Directions:Translate into Chinese the underlined sentences in the following passage.Write your translation on The Answer Sheet.(15marks)As I’ve said many times,Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.No gifts.A good meal.Often a four-day weekend.66）But what I like best about the holiday is that it gives us time to actually pause and think about what we’re thankful for.And I have much this past year.A good relationship(Got married.)Good health.(I have a new knee!)Good times.(A vacation in Argentina.)Not that I can’t,and don’t,take it all for granted on occasion.It took a mongrel dog thousands of miles away to make me aware of my good fortune.And she did it with just a wag of her tail.While in Argentina on vacation,we stayed on a villa(别墅)outside on Cordoba.Its name: Dos Luna.It sits at the end of a dirt road that seems to never end.67)When we finally pulled onto the villa,a dog appeared out of nowhere,eager to greet us before we even got of the car.Her name was Branca.She had wandered onto the place a couple of years ago,hungry, homeless,in need of a good bath and a good meal.To their credit,the hosts took her in.68)And no fool was she,she decided to stay.In return for room and board,she now works as the mascot (吉祥物).A perfect fit for everyone involved.Branca and I bonded immediately.For your days,she went where I went.69)She sat under my table at lunch,she ran alongside us as we rode horses up through the hillside.I suspected it didn’t hurt any that I fed her from the table,that I scratched her ear as I sat and read.At night,she slept curled up on a chair,not far from our room.It was her chair.All the guests quickly learned that.Her tail swept the ground whenever I happened to ask if everything is OK.70)She was beyond thankful to be right where she was.And so were we.Happy Thanksgiving.66.But what I like best about the holiday is that it gives us time to actually pause and thinkabout what we’re thankful for.67.When we finally pulled onto the villa,a dog appeared out of nowhere,eager to greet usbefore we even got of the car.68.And no fool was she,she decided to stay.69.She sat under my table at lunch,she ran alongside us as we rode horses up through thehillside.70.She was beyond thankful to be right where she was.Part IV Writing(共30分)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write a composition on the topic City Problems.You should write about120words following the Chinese outline given below.1.越来越多的人涌入城市，产生了很多问题。

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section A (每小题2分)Format ⅠDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.(40 marks)Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Have you ever wondered where the first doughnut(炸面圈) was made? Who thought up the idea of a fried cake with a hole in the center?No one knows for sure who made the first doughnut. Some people think that doughnuts probably began in the 1800s as Dutch “olykoeks” or “oily cakes.” In those days, a cook would not want to waste any scraps of food. Leftover pieces of bread dough(生面团) were put into hot oil and fried. Olykoeks were tasty on the outside, but soft and uncooked in the center.Some people say that the mother of a New Englandsea captain invented the first real doughnut. Her name was Elizabeth Gregory. She replaced the soft center with spices and nuts. But,Elizabeth’s son, Captain Gregory, did not like nuts. He punched out the center, and the consequence was the first hole in a doughnut.Others say the real story is that Captain Gregory had difficulty steering his ship while trying to eat doughnuts. He asked the ship’s cook to make his doughnuts with holes so he could hang them on the steering wheel! Others think that Captain Gregory saw holed cakes in Europe and brought the idea back toAmericawith him.During World War I, homesick American soldiers inEuropewere served doughnuts by the Salvation Army. These brave women volunteering for the job were called “Doughnut Girls.” They often worked in dangerous conditions near the soldiers, so the Doughnut Girls wore helmets and uniforms. The women made doughnut cutters out of a large can with a smaller can inside it to cut out the hole. They could set up a kettle of hot oil to fry the dough almost anywhere.In the 1920s, doughnut machines were invented. Doughnuts were produced faster and easier than ever before. Still, many people preferred to make their favorite doughnuts at home.1. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the popularity of doughnutsB. the history of doughnutsC. the inventors of doughnutsD. the types of doughnuts2. The first Dutch “olykoek” came into being probably because ______.A. people did not like to eat fried foodB. cooks did not like to waste leftover foodC. Dutchmen liked oil cakes very muchD. cooks liked the soft center of cakes3. What was used to replace the uncooked center to improve doughnuts?A. Scraps of food.B. Jelly filling.C. Spices and nuts.D. Leftover bread dough.4. In paragraph 3, the word “consequence” probably means ______.A. actionB. damageC. problemD. result5. What can be inferred about the Doughnut Girls during World War I?A. They worked aboard a ship.B. They worked near battlefields.C. They used untested machines.D. They used helmets to cook doughnuts.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes — research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay checks more than intelligence. Those judged to be the most attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues. Applied to the average salary of ￡25,000 a year, the “plainness penalty (处罚)” would make a difference of ￡2,500 a year — or around ￡50 a week.It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.Researcher Jason Fletcher, ofYaleUniversityin theU.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14-point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent.For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one, they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.Dr Fletcher said: “The results do show that people’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.”6. What is the “plainness penalty”?A. To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking.B. To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking.C. To be fired for being ordinarily-looking.D. To be questioned for being ordinarily-looking.7. What’s the average annual salary of a good-looking person?A. ￡2,500.B. ￡25,000.C. ￡22,500.D. ￡27,500.8. Good-looking people are paid more probably because ______.A. they look smarterB. they have higher degreesC. they are better at pleasing othersD. they are more confident9. How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher’s study?A. About 280B. About 4,000C. About 2,000D. About 32010. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. IQ is less important than appearance.B. Confidence makes people prettier.C. Good looks earn an extra penny.D. How Plain Janes get a higher salary.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Were you constantly bored as a child? Maybe that helped you to develop your ability to be creative.Boredom can be a good thing for children, according to Dr Teresa Belton, researcher at theUniversityofEast Anglia’sSchoolofEducationand Lifelo ng Learning. After interviewing authors, artists and scientists inBritain, she’s reached the conclusion that cultural expectations that children should be constantly active could block the development of their imagination.British actress and writer Meera Syal grew up in a small mining village with few distractions. The researcher said: “Lack of things to do urged her to talk to people she wouldn’t otherwise have engaged with and try activities she wouldn’t, under other circumstances, have experienced, such as talking to elderly neighbors and learning to bake cakes.”Belton added: “Boredom made her write. Meera Syal kept a diary from a young age, filling it with observations, short stories, poems.”The researcher didn’t ignore the old saying the devil finds work for idle hands, though. Belton pointed out that young people who don’t have the interior resources to deal with boredom creatively may end up smashing up bus shelters or taking cars out for a joyride.How about watching TV and videos on the computer? The researcher believes that nothing replaces standing and staring at things and observing your surroundings.It’s the sort of thing that stimulates the imagination, she said, while the screen “tends to short circuit that process and the development of cre ative capacity”.Dr Belton concluded: “For the sake of creativity, perhaps we need to slow down and stay offline from time to time.”11. Dr Teresa Belton did her research by ______.A. studying cultural differencesB. interviewing professionalsC. keeping a diaryD. observing the surroundings12. Which of the following best describes the village where Meera Syal grew up?A. Modern and open.B. Tiny and unexciting.C. Poor and underdeveloped.D. Remote and violent.13. The expression “the devil finds work for idle hands” probably means that people are more likely to ______.A. do what they should not do if they meet devilsB. achieve nothing if they work with devilsC. do more work if they didn’t work hard when they were youngD. get involved in trouble if they have nothing to do with their time14. What is Dr Belton’s advice for youngsters?A. Observe the world around them.B. Get information online from time to time.C. Remain constantly active.D. Read as many books as possible.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Deal with boredom wisely.B. Learn from a young age.C. Enjoy village life.D. Forget old sayings.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:During her junior year of high school, Candice Backu s’s teacher handed her a sheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life. Backus pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a credit card. Then, she and her classmates played the “stock market game,” investing the hy pothetical(假设的) earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the fateful fall of 2008. “Our pretend investments crashed,” Backus says, still horrified. “We felt what actual shareholders were feeling.”That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public schools increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some types of financial instruction at the elementary or high-school level, including lessons in balancing checkbooks(支票本) and buying stock in math andsocial-studies classes. The interest in personal-finance classes has risen since 2007 when bank failures became a regular occurrence.Rather than teach investment strategies, these courses offer a basic approach to handling money: Don’t spend what you don’t have. Put part of your mo nthly salary into a savings account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Backus, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spen ding, and saving. “Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend,” she says one weekday after school.After Backus finished her financial classes, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family woul d pay for college. “She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world,” says her mother, Darleen. All of this talk of money can make Backus worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.16. The purpose of the high sch ool class’s “stock market game” is to ______.A. introduce a new courseB. encourage personal savingsC. learn about investmentD. teach credit card hazards17. Student interest in taking classes on finance has increased because of ______.A. the state of the economyB. the need for employmentC. the rate of graduationD. the desire to purchase cars18. According to the passage, taking money management courses will help young people to ______.A. get accepted by collegesB. become very wealthyC. take more vacationsD. prevent from going into debt19. After Candice Backus completed the class about money, she ______.A. is debt freeB. manages the family incomeC. will graduate earlyD. feels more competent20. The author’s attitude toward financial classes i n public schools is ______.A. positiveB. criticalC. objectiveD. worriedFormat ⅡDirections: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed.

Make sure yours offers a broad range of protection.● 21. ______ Anything higher than SPF 50+ can tempt you to stay in the sun too long. Even if you don’t burn, your skin may be damaged. Stick to SPFs between 15 and 50+. Pick a product based on your own skin color, time outside, shade and cloud cover.● News about vitamin A. Eating vitamin A-rich vegetables is good for you, but spreading vitamin A on your skin may not be.

EWG’s sunscreen database rates the safety and effect of about 1,400 SPF-rated products, including about 750 sunscreens for beaches and sports use.

In 2009, nearly twice as many American men died from skin cancers as women. Surveys show that 34 percent of men wear sunscreens, compared to 78 percent of women.● Got your vitamin D? Many people don’t get enough vitamin D, a hormone manufactured by the skin in the presence of sunlight. Your doctor can test your level and recommend supplements if you are low in this vital nutrient.A. No powder!B. Avoid midday sun.C. Message for men:D. Cream or spray?E.

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section A （每小题 2 分）Format ⅠDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.（40 marks）Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Have you ever wondered where the first doughnut(炸面圈)was made? Who thought up the idea of a fried cake with a hole in the center?No one knows for sure who made the first doughnut. Some people think that doughnut probably began in the 1800s as Dutch “ olykoeks ” or “oily cakes.” In those days, a cook would not want to waste any scraps of food. Leftover pieces of bread dough (生面团) were put into hot oil and fried. Olykoeks were tasty on the outside, but soft and uncooked in the center.Some people say that the mother of a New England sea captain invented the first real doughnut. Her name was Elizabeth Gregory. She replaced the soft center with spic es and nuts. But, Elizabeth’s son, Captain Gregory, did not like nuts. He punched out the center, and the consequence was the first hole in a doughnut.Others say the real story is that Captain Gregory had difficulty steering his ship while trying to eat doughnut. He asked the ship’s cook to make his doughnuts with holes so he could hang them on the steering wheel! Others think that Captain Gregory saw holed cakes in Europe and brought the idea back to America with him.During world war I, homesick American soldiers in Europe were served doughnuts by the Salvation Army. These brave women volunteering for the job were called “Doughnut Girls.” They often worked in dangerous conditions near the soldiers, so the Doughnut Girls wore helmets and uniforms. The women made doughnut cutters out of a large can with a smaller can inside it to cut out the hole. They could set up a kettle of hot oil to fry the dough almost anywhere.In the 1920s, doughnut machines were invented. Doughnuts were produced faster and easier than ever before. Still, many people preferred to make their favorite doughnuts at home.1.The passage is mainly about .A. the popularity of doughnutsB. the history of doughnutsC. the inventors of doughnutsD. the types of doughnuts2.The first Dutch “ olykoek ” came into being probably because.A.people did not like to eat fried foodB.cooks did not like to waste leftover foodC.Dutchmen liked oil cakes very muchD. cooks liked the soft center of cakes3.What was used to replace the uncooked center to improve doughnuts?A. Scraps of foodB. Jelly fillingC. Spices and nutsD. Leftover bread dough4.In paragraph 3, the word “consequence” probably means.A. actionB. damageC. problemD. result5.What can be inferred about the Doughnut Girls during world war I?A. They worked aboard a ship .B. They worked near battlefieldsC. They used untested machinesD. They used helmets to cook doughnutsPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes ——research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay checks more than intelligence. Those judged to be the more attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues. Applied to the average salary of ￡ 25,000 a year, the “ plainnesspenalty(处罚)”would make a difference of ￡2,500 a year —— or around ￡50 a week.It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14-point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent .For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one , they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.Dr Fletcher said:“The results do show that people’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.”6.What is the “plainness penalty”?A.To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking.B.To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking.C.To be fired for being ordinarily-looking.D. To be questioned for being ordinarily-looking. 7.What’sthe average annual salary of a good-looking person?A. ￡2,500B. ￡25,000C. ￡22,500D. ￡27,5008.Good-looking people are usually paid more probably because .A. they look smarterB. they have higher degreesC. they are better at pleasing othersD. they are more confident9.How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher’s study?A. About 280B. About 4,000C. About 2,000D. About 32010.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage ?A.IQ is less important than appearance.B.Confidence makes people prettier.C.Good looks earn an extra penny.D. How Plain Janes get a higher salary.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Were you constantly bored as a child? Maybe that helped you to develop your ability to be creative.Boredom can be a good thing for children, according to Dr Teresa Belton, researcher at the University of East Anglia’s School of Education and Lifelong Learning.

Modern and openB. Tiny and unexcitingC. Poor and underdevelopmentD.

Read as many books as possible.15.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Deal with boredom wisely.B.Learn from a young age.C.Enjoy village life.D. Forget old sayings.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:During her junior year of high school, Candice Backus’s teacher handed her a sheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life.

倒数第二段说到，这些“DoughnutGirls（炸面圈女孩）”都在靠近士兵的危险地方工作，这里的“dangerous conditions near the soldiers（靠近士兵的危险地方）”玩的是文字游戏，显然指的就是靠近前线战场的地方，因此B为正确选项。

Passage Two6.【答案】A。

解析：短语语义题。

本文的前两句很容易利用对照关系确定plain是gook look的反义，即长相平凡之意。

而且本文围绕着长相与收入的关系展开,因此，可确定A为正确答案。

7.【答案】D。

解析：细节题中的数字题。

根据第一段第三、四句可知，“Thosejudged to be the more attractive earned up to10percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues.（公认长得非常养眼的那些人的收入比长相一般的人多得10%),而“平均工资是￡25,000”，因此不难计算长相好看的人的年收入为￡25,000+￡25,000*10%，不难计算出结果是￡27,500,因此D为正确选项。
