At the airport he had to accept the 5 customs check.The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 6 . Glen knew that carrying such goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 7 for his watch. So while checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 8 fake（假货）. When he was 9 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 10 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 11 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 12 .

The officers looked over everything carefull y,and 15 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 16 reusing and carrying fake goods, he would be 17 by law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind afterboarding the plane for long.After that, he often told the story to his family and his employees.

The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What is the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to each state.Local control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live. They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student scores on tests required by the No Child Left behind Act.Kara Schlosser is communications director for the CCSSO. She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.Forty--eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states refuse to accept the idea. Critics say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the national standards will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still others fear federal control.Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify (取得资格) for some federal grant money.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A．Local Control of Education Standards out of DateB．American National Education Standards under ConsiderationC．Education Standards in Each State--Good or Bad.D．Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States【2】Why is local control of education no 1onger a good idea today?A．Because local standards are limited.B．Because it is required by the federal government.C．Because people today moves among states more often than before.D．Because America has never had the same school standards throughout the country.【3】Some people are against the nationa1 education standards because__________A．the standards are higher than those of each stateB．they are not yet prepared for the new standardsC．the standards may prevent some students gaining excellenceD．they don't want the federal government to train their teachers【4】If a state agrees to accept the national standards, it will probably get ________.A．more students B．advice on how to improve teachingC．better textbooks D．money from the federal government2.One girl decided to study judo(柔道) although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won herfirst two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干预).“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”The girl’s biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.【1】What can we learn about the girl?A．She was disabled in an accident.B．She disliked judo training.C．She learnt several moves.D．She won the first two matches hard.【2】The underlined word “overmatched” probably means .A．impatient B．depressed C．defeated D．trapped【3】The girl won the championship because of .A．her bravery B．her skills C．her tricks D．her strength【4】Which of the following is probably the best title of the story?A．The Story of a Girl.B．A Disabled Girl.C．Defense Matters.D．Weakness Becomes Strength.3.Puerto Rico may be part of the USA but its music and dance is a mixture of both Spanish and African rhythms. The country, as a result, is a mixture of very new and very old. It exhibits the open American way of yet retains the more formal Spanish influences. This is reflected in the architecture, not just the contrast between the colonial and the modern in urban areas but also in the countryside, where older buildings sit side by side with concrete schools and buildings.However, if you do not wander beyond the tourist areas on the coast, you will not experience the real Puerto Rico. Old volcanic mountains, long inactive, occupy a large part of the interior（内陆）, with the highest peak, Cerro de Punta, at 1,338m in the Cordillera Central. North of the Cordillera is the karst （岩溶）country where the limestone（石灰石）has been acted upon by water to produce a series of small steep hills and deep holes. The mountains are surrounded by a coastal plain with the Atlantic shore beaches cooled all the year round by trade winds.The population is 3.8 million, of which about 1.5 million live in San Juan, although about another two million Puerto Ricans live in the USA Average life expectancy is 73.8 years and GDP per capita is US $12,212, the highest in Latin America, although not up to the level of mainland USA. Most Puerto Ricans do not speak English and less than 30% speak it fluently. Second generation Puerto Ricans who were born in New York but who have returned to the island, are called Nuyoricans. The people are very friendly and hospitable but there is crime, liked to drugs and unemployment.【1】What are the disadvantages of Puerto Rico?A．Too many Puerto Ricans live in the USAB．Few people in Puerto Rico can speak EnglishC．Puerto Rico’s GDP is lower than that of the USAD．Social problem connected with drugs and lack of jobs.【2】We can learn from the passage that Puerto Rico _________.A．is a state of the United States B．used to be ruled by SpainC．is an agricultural country D．is gently affected by Africa【3】Nuyorican is a person who _______.A．has been living in New YorkB．is living in New YorkC．was born in New York but has returned to Puerto RicoD．has got the citizenship of America【4】What does the underlined word “retains” mean?A．loses B．keeps C．enjoys D．returns4.Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish — if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits （半导体电路）．But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality （虚拟的永生）.Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles （履历）. By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp（头皮） and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.At first, the Soul Catcher's companion system — the Soul Reader — might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities （永生实体）. Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine．For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.【1】The main idea of this passage is that _______．A．human beings long for living foreverB．there are many difficulties in making the Soul CatcherC．people might live forever as technology developsD．the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance【2】According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be ______．A．a new machine on which research measures have already been madeB．a new invention in order to catch and keep human's thoughts and emotionsC．made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living foreverD．made of silicon circuits which can catch people's nervous activity【3】According to the writer, semblance of immortality is ______．A．to be a reality sooner or later B．far from certainC．just an idea that couldn't t be realized at all D．a fading hope【4】The meaning of the underlined word "revitalize" in the fourth paragraph is close to .A．make dead B．make famous C．make known D．make active5.When people hear that I’m the youngest person to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean, they all have the same question: How did a 22-year old woman row a 19-foot boat for 70 days through high winds and crashing waves? Well, the biggest difficulty for me wasn’t physical. By the time I decided to do the ocean row, I had already biked 3,300 miles cross-country, run across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the tough part would be mental: How would I handle the loneliness, the boredom of the vast sea?I set off on January 3, 2010. I set my sights on getting past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days.Day 20, January 22, was gray and cloudy. I could have done something to celebrate, such as treating myself to a chocolate bar. But I didn’t.I was suffering from terrible loneliness. I hadn’t seen landing over two weeks. Every day was beginning to feel the same. Eating, rowing, sleeping, watch the sky, watch the ocean.Then, around sunset, I saw something move on the horizon. They were dolphins! They circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so grateful. They had come to help me celebrate, just when I needed them. I rowed at full strength for the next 20 minutes with the dolphins around. By the time we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely. Better yet, I knew I would be okay.I did make it, all 2,817 miles. I hit the coast of Guyana, South America, on March 14, after 70 days and five hours at sea. My ocean row raised $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, which funds drinking water programs around the world. I know some athletes spend the entire journey imagining the end, and that helps them get through. But for me, the secret is to focus on the moment, where you experience the personal growth — those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, those dolphins, which freed myself from terrible loneliness.【1】Which is the step taken as part of preparation for the tough row?A．swimming the 325-mile length of the riverB．answering the same question raised by peopleC．running 3,300 miles cross-countryD．biking across the Mojave Desert【2】What does the underlined part mean?A．I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy.B．I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal.C．It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter of the wayD．It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar on Day 20.【3】What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?A．Imagination was an effective way to help me get through.B．The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.C．The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destinationD．The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness【4】Which can be the best title of the passage?A．The day I stopped being lonelyB．The only challenge for a 22-year oldC．How to overcome loneliness at sea.D．How to row alone across the Atlantic6.阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卷相应的位置上(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

Our parents were both gone now；I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye - a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.The woman, the host o£ the stoop (门廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn‟t need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal ，recover, or grow.I wasn‟t planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated herthings and I would give them a safe home. Then I had my first stoop sale —I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder,From that day on, I became interested in stoop sales. Some of my favorite things are from someone else‟s life. I find no joy in shopping at regular stores any more. I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer. It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.A few weeks ago, I carried my mother‟s dresses to a friend‟s stoop. These were her best items ，which were once worn by the most important person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的）as my memory of her, I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly，it needs to find a new home. Even that green dress is long gone by now.31. The author took her mother*s dresses after her death because ______A. she valued the things used by her momB. she didn‟t want to throw them, awayC. she could sell them laterD. they were her mom‟s best items32. From the passage, we know that ______.A. the things the author bought from the woman are too bigB. the author is fond of imagining others‟ life experiencesC. the author will never shop at regular stores any moreD. the author still keeps most of her mom‟s things33. In the last paragraph ，the author tries to tell us that ______.A her mom is the number one person in her lifeB. she didn‟t really want to sell her mom‟s dressesC. she still thinks of her mother quite oftenD. love doesn‟t mean holding on to something tightly34. It can be inferred that the author will ______.A. not sell her own things at stoop salesB. keep her mom in her mind in another wayC. be sad about all the memory of her momD. move to another city for a new lifeBA father in Wuhan, nicknamed "Eagle Dad" for his controversial parenting style, has dismissed critics' claims that he pushes his 4-year-old son too hard.Police officer Wang Shaoyan came under the spotlight this month after his child took part in an 18-kilometer race in the Hubei provincial capital.Some parents attacked his methods of extreme physical training, while others reacted strongly to his admission that he regularly exposes the youngster to cold showers. "I just want my son to reach his full potential," Wang said, adding that 4-year-old son not only runs 3 km every day he also takes cold showers from time to time to strengthen his body's resistance and willpower."He has never taken any sick leave from kindergarten," he said proudly. However, some parents find his methods too extreme."I'm not sure a 4-year-old is prepared for such intense training," said Zhang Ruxia a woman who gave birth to two boys in October in Tianjin. "You can have good intentions to train your child atan early age but you also have to consider whether he can take it." Wang responded by saying children are too young to make decisions, and it is up to parents to lead them on the right path."I read many materials before and the whole process is step-by-step without pushing or imposing on my son," Wang said. The father said he was not acting rashly but following a scientific way of education. He said the doubts about his methods reflect the declining standards of modern education."Many people in Japan give their children cold showers too ,and no one is fussing about it，" he said. The traditional way of education applied by most of his peers might not necessarily help bring the best out of a child he said.Wang said in addition to the physical training, he has also laid out a detailed and particular program to strengthen the intelligence of the child. "I have hired some university students to expand his knowledge in natural sciences, while playing the video for English-language teaching as well," he said.35. For what reason was Wang made known to the public?A. He employed some college students to teach his son.B. He made his kid take a long distance race.C. He exposed his 4-year-old to cold showers.D. He forced his youngster to run 3 km every day.36. Which statement is supported by the parents who hold the opposite opinion?A. Extreme physical training can explore children's full potentials.B. Taking cold showers regularly is beneficial for children's development.C. It's up to parents to lead children on the right path.D. The way to educate children should agree with their age.37. What does the phrase "fussing about” probably mean in the 8th paragraph?A. Minding about.B. Paying attention to.C. Laughing at.D. Talking about.CPeople think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘）.If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes，being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talentedWhy do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话）.Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview -as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.39. What are the stars like according to the author?A. They always treat others rudely.B. They always talk about something dull.C They are acutually ordinary people.D. They are usually honest and polite,40. We worship stars because ______.A, we need true mental heroes to support usB. we can learn something useful from famous starsC. we concern about the stars ，family and friendsD. we like talking about the stars ，dressing styles41. When the author is writing this article ，his tone sounds ______.A, excited B. angry C. worried D. calm42. What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?A. To show the disadvantages of working with stars.B. To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.C. To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.D. To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.DSome young Cambodians are learning a new sport —skateboarding. The country‟s first skateboard park is located on the grounds of a local charity group at the edge of Phnom Penh, the capital.Sports like Khmer boxing and soccer are wildly popular in Cambodia. But Chea ，who has been skating for 6 months ，says skating has already become his favorite sport.The skaters are learning tricks like launching off a jump or half-pipe and flying through the air on their narrow wooden boards.A non-governmental organization called Skateistan Cambodia organizes weekly programs at the park. Skateistan started its work in Afghanistan years ago. Rory Burke is working with the group which expanded to Cambodia last year.Rory Burke point s out, “Yeah, it‟s definitely not a typical Cambodian pastime (消遣）.And I think the idea of …why skateboarding‟is that it‟s not been done before here. We want to use skateboarding as something saying, …Hey，this is new ，this is something different.，And that kind of itself becomes a little bit of hook. People see it and they think and they say, …Wow, what isthat?，and they want to get involved. ”Skateistan partners with local groups that work with young people. The park is on the grounds of the group known as PSE, where children attend school and learn a trade. There are almost one hundred twenty participants. They all come from troubled lives.Seventeen-year-old Sang Rotha is a student at PSE. “Sometimes I don‟t do well on subjects like math,”he says, “I feel bad when I find it hard to keep up with my lessons. So that is why I skateboard -to improve my bad feelings. ‟，He says he began skateboarding more than a year ago. Before he started training, it seemed very easy. But it was very difficult to learn tricks, and he got hurt a lot from falling off.Rory Burke says learning to deal with the difficulties is part of the lesson for these young skateboarders.43. According to the passage, PSE is a group ______.A. that works with Cambodian studentsB. for young Cambodians to learn a tradeC. for young Cambodians in troubled livesD. for young Cambodians taking skateboarding44. What is said about skateboarding in the passage?A. It is easy for young Cambodians to learn.B. It is a good sport to help regain good feeling.C. It originated in Afghanistan years ago.D. It is as popular as Khmer boxing in Cambodia.45. The underlined part a little bit of hook probably means ______.A. something strangeB. something quite newC. something differentD. something attractive46. It can be inferred from the passage that skateboarding is becoming ______.A. a sport liked by most young CambodiansB. an increasingly popular sport in CambodiaC. a sport used to better young Cambodians‟ lifeD. a good way to train young Cambodians‟ learning skillsEYawning sends out certain messages -either “Oh ，this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?A new study, led by a research team at Princeton University, has indicated that yawning could be the brain‟s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily. com.The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched ，which increases blood flow and may also helpcool the brainThe study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.47. The purpose of the experiment is ______.A. to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equallyB. to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturallyC. to find the f requency of people‟s yawningD. to show the real reason why people yawn48. The information we get from Paragraphs 5 and 6 is that ______.A. longer outdoor summertime results in more yawnsB. yawning frequency changes with outdoor timeC. yawning frequency increases with outdoor timeD. longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns49. Acorrding to the text ，people yawn more often ______.A, when the air temperature is lower outside the bodyB. when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotterC. when the air temperature is higher than the bodyD. when the air temperature is equal to the body50. What could be the best title for the text?A. Yawning Is A Sign of Brain DiseaseB. Yawning Carries Some InformationC. Yawning Benefits Your BodyD. Yawning Cools Your Brain第二节: 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上。
