You just got promoted last week! How could they do this to you?W:April Fools!Text 4W:You mistook the salt for sugar? I told you the salt was in the black container and the sugar was in the white one.M:Yes,that was so silly of me.I forgot that you told me,and I couldn’t tell the difference at the time.This coffee is terrible now!Text 5M:Mars moved slower than the earth.W:Yes.A day on Mars is 37 minutes longer than a day on the earth.Text 6M:Good morning,Native Tongue Translations.Can I help you?W:Yes.I was wondering how much it would cost to translate a document from English into Arabic.M:Well,it depends on the kind of document,how long it is,and when you need it returned.W:It’s a cookbook about 20,000 words long.It is not urgent,so you can take your time.M:Well,Madam,Arabic is one of the most difficult languages in the world,and there aren’t very many translators compared to,say,Spainish.In other words,the charge for Arabic translation will be higher than for most other languages.W:I understand.Could you give me an estimate?M:For this project,we would charge between five and ten cents per word.W:OK.Thanks for your time.I think I’ll keep looking.Text 7M:Hello?W:Hi,my name is Kelsey Adams.I’m calling about the TV.M:Oh,hi!

I had no idea,Ms.Robertson.W:I know my work has suffered these past few weeks,but I promise I will make up for it!M:Listen,why don’t you take a couple of days off? It’s much more important that you be with your mother while she is recovering.W:Really,sir? Thank you so much!M:My pleasure.And I’ll have a word with Morrison.That kind of talk has no place in this office!Text 10Good afternoon,shoppers! This is a special request from the security department here at Wal-Mart.We hope you are finding everything you are looking for,but right now,we need your help.We are looking for a 10-year-old boy named Brandon Mcsorley.Brandon,if you can hear this,please go to the security desk located at the front of the store near the Pizza Hut.Your mum is looking for you.All other guests,please take a moment to help us find Brandon.His mother Sally was last with him in the frozen foods section about 10 minutes ago,and she thinks he is still somewhere in the store,possibly in the toys section or the sporting goods section.Brandon is wearing a red shirt,blue jeans,white shoes,and a black baseball cap.He is about 5 feet 2 inches tall with dark hair and blue eyes.If you see Brandon,please help him to get to the security desk located at the front of the store.You can also approach any of our staff members if you see Brandon or have any other information about where he might be.Thank you very much for your help,and enjoy the rest of your day here at Wal-Mart.1-5 BABCB 6-10 BACBC 11-15 CACCA 16-20 ACABC 21-25 CBDAD 26-30 CABCB31-35 DBACD 36-40 BFCDG 41-45 BDAAC 46-50 BBDAC 51-55 DCCAB 56-60 DDABC第五档(很好)：(21-25分)1. 完全完成了试题规定的任务。

AI was in Houston a few weeks ago, and needed to be back home in Austin by midmorning the next day. Though I usually left in the evening, for some reason last time I had to choose to set off after midnight.I was on my way back to Austin when I realized I left an important file, and knew I had to return to get it. I took the first exit I could, but when I rounded the corner, an 18-wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane. I swerved（急转弯）to avoid it, and then I realized that there was something wrong with my car. So I pulled into a small parking lot and unsurprisingly found the area deserted at 3:15 am. I’ve lived in urban areas most of my life. I’m fairly street-wise and don’t become frightened easily, but I knew I was in a pretty tough neighborhood.There was no one in Houston to pick me up. I immediately locked the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck. Soon a young man knocked on my driver’s side window and asked if he could help me. Judging from his appearance, he was far from a mad man, but I knew he was far more likely to rob than help me. So I lied to him. After a while, he asked again, but this time I politely refused and told him the tow truck was due any minute. He finally said, “Madam, you need help. A tow truck in Houston will arrive anywhere between 45 minutes and approximately never （which I knew was true）, and you aren’t going anywhere until you change your flat tire.”After considering thoroughly, I got out. He looked surprised, but got right to work. He changed the tire, returned the seat to its place and said, “Thank you for letting me help you. You gave me a chance when most people would never open the door to someone like me. Would it be okay if I gave you a hug?” When I recovered, I gave him a giant hug. I left with a new tire and a renewed faith in human nature.21. What’s the matter with the author’s car?A. It could n’t get started.B. Its tire blew out.C It was out of control. D. Its oil ran out.22. Why did the author lie to the man and refuse his help in the beginning?A. Because she thought the man was playing jokes.B. Because she thought the man wanted to get a lift.C. Because she thought the man might be a bad man.D. Because she thought the man was a mad man.23. Which of the following can best describe the author?A. Cautious and brave.B. Impolite and dishonest.C. Stubborn but brave.D. Generous but dishonest.24. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Help in the Dead of NightB. Attitude Determines EverythingC. The Fight against Robbing on My WayD. An Unexpected Traffic AccidentBFormer South African president Nelson Mandela died on 6 December 2013 Beijing time. President Jacob Zuma announced it in a televised speech to the nation.He was 95. Those 95 years were remarkable.At the age of seven, he entered a local school, where he w as given the name “Nelson”, af ter Admiral Horatio Nelson of the Royal Navy, by a teacher who had difficulty in pronouncing his African name. That name, Rolihlahla, means “troublemaker”.In 1927, when Mandela was nine, he decided to become a lawyer, influenced by the cases that came on his father. In 1942 Mandela entered politics by joining the African National Congress （ANC）, South Africa’s major liberation movement and today the country’s ruling party. It was during this time that he and a small group of mainly young members of the ANC got down to a task transforming the party into a mass movement.In 1952 , he was charged and brought to trial for his role in the campaign of fighting against Unjust Laws and given a prison sentence. The 1950s turned out to be a time of hardship and suffering for Mandela--he was banned, arrested and imprisoned.While in prison, Mandela studied by correspondence with the University of London, earning a Bachelor of Law degree. He never faced with his teachers, but his name was familiar to all the teachers by means of his writing letters.After spending 27 years in prison, Mandela became South Africa’s first democratically elected president in 1994. He united a fearful country, bringing together blacks and whites in harmony when South Africa was living through violent and troubled times. After serving a five-year term as president of the country, he retired from public life, though not from the public eye.He is the greatest son of the nation and a great father of his people. More than 1,115 awards and honors, even the Nobel Peace Prize had been on him. More than 85 streets, roads, avenues, bridges, highways had been named after Mandela.25. Why did the teacher give Mandela the name “Nelson”?A. Because Mandela respected Admiral Horatio Nelson very much.B. Because Mandela was very naughty at school.C. Because Mandela had no formal name at school.D. Because his original name was hard for the teacher to pronounce.26. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. Mandela hated white people and the government for white peopleB. Mandela tried his best to set up a government ruled by black peopleC. Mandela wanted blacks and whites to live equally and peacefullyD. Mandela set up the ruling party of African National Congress27. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Mandela became a lawyer in order to help the black.B. Mandela kept on studying laws even when he was in prison.C. Mandela disappeared from the public eye after he retired.D. Mandela named many streets and other buildings in his nation.28. How old was Mandela when he retired?A. 95.B. 91.C. 81.D. 76.CSome light colors humans are exposed to late at night could cause symptoms of depression. That is the conclusion of a study that builds on previous findings that individuals exposed to low levels of lights overnight can develop signs of clinical depression.Investigators, curious as to whether the color of light contributed to depressive symptoms in humans, designed an experiment that exposed hamsters（仓鼠）to different colors. Hamsters sleep during the day and are active at night; in reverse, humans sleep at night and are active during the day. That is why they chose hamsters to do the experiment.The first group of hamsters （G1）was kept in the dark during their nighttime period. The second group of hamsters （G2）was exposed to blue light and the third group （G3）slept in the presence of white light. The fourth group of hamsters （G4）was exposed to red light.After four weeks, researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. Randy Nelson, chair of Ohio State University’s Department of Neuroscience and co-author of the study, said animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed.“What we saw is these animals didn’t show any sleep disruptions at all but they did have disturbed the biological clock genes and they did show depressive symptoms. However, if they were in the dim red light, they did not,” Nelson said.Nelson said there’s a lot of blue in white light, and this type of light is similar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime, which explained why hamsters seemed more depressed in blue light and white light than hamsters exposed to red light or darkness.Nelson had suggestions for so-called “night owls” or people who work the night shift.“My recommendation is that you should live a typical mostly active life during the day and the mostly inactive at night. You should limit exposure to TVs which are quite bluish in the light they give off and computer screens and things like that,” stated Nelson. “Of course, you can also install protective glass on your computer screen.”29. What does the underlined phr ase “in reverse” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. as a resultB. on the contraryC. in additionD. in other words30. It can be learnt from the passage that ________.A. hamsters in G2 and G4 are influenced most by light colorsB. light colors have nothing to do with hamsters’ biological clock genesC. Nelson suggested those “night owls” watch TV more at nightD. the experiment proved hamsters in G2 and G3 were more depressed31. The experiment on hamsters shows that ________.A. light colors affect their moodB. light colors disturb their sleepC. light colors influence their dietD. light colors change their habit32. In which part of a website can you most probably find this passage?A. Business.B. Sports.C. Health.D. Travel.DWelcome to the MoMath MuseumIntroductions:The National Museum of Mathematics（MoMath）opened on Dec. 15, 2013 on two floors of an office building north of Manhattan’s Madison Square Park. It i s the builder, Glen Whitney, 42, a mathematician and former fund analyst who helped raise $ 23. 5 million for the 19,000-square-foot museum.A door handle of the museum is shaped like the symbol π, which stands for a door opening a new world of maths, including numbers, shapes, colors and so on. The MoMath museum is America’s first math museum.Features:It provides a unique and interactive experience that makes math exciting. Its mission is to develop stronger future mathematicians across the nation by giving people fun and hands-on ways to learn math concepts.Activities:Throughout the museum, visitors take part in various games and programs. The museum hopes that by having visitors participate in the exhibits, they will better understand mathematical concepts. An example of this hands-on method of learning is a ride called The Coaster Roller. Visitors glide in a rounded triangle cart across an acorn-shaped track that miraculously creates a smooth surface.The Marble Multiplier, 3 D Printer, and the Enigma Cafe are among other user-friendly play zones where math theories are applied and challenged. In the exhibit Rhythms of Life, guests fill a circle with fractions（分数）that add up to 1. Each fraction represents a different sound and rhythm. When combined in a single circle, visitors learn how they combine to form complex patterns of sound. Each of these exhibits brings math concepts to life and sparks curiosity for visitors of all ages.The MoMath museum is a place where everyone can connect by learning complicated math concepts. Even the students who live far from New York City can be part of the fun. MoMath has a traveling museum called the Math Midway, which tours around the country to schools and community centers.33. Which of the following sentences about the MoMath museum is true?A. Its founder is not only a mathematician but a fund analyst.B. Its door looks like a letter π.C. Its purpose is to promote the popularity of math around the world.D. It is the only math museum in the world.34. From the text, we can know the Math Midway is ________.A. a traveling museum to meet the demand of students living far from New YorkB. another online math museum similar to the MoMath museumC. an item exhibited in the MoMath museumD. a plan to build another museum in New York35. The author takes the exhibit Rhythms of Life as an example to _________.A. tell us math is the most popular subject at schoolB. stress the importance of listening to musicC. show us math concepts can be learnt in an interesting wayD. explain the reason why math can develop students’ curiosity第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
