AArthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of t he 20th century.Miller`s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great Am erican Dream” However, he experienced severe financial hard ship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depres sion of the early l930s.Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we s ee a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “b urnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room fo r sentiment : if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go.Willy is pa infully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lac k of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed an d kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Pla y, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticu t, on the evening of February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.1.Why did Arthur Miller' s father move to the USA?A.He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B.He was attracted by the "Great American Dream.C.He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D.His family business failed.2.The play Death of a Salesman ________ .A.exposes the cruelty of the American business world B.discusses the ways to get promoted in a company C.talks about the business career of Arthur Miller D.focuses on the skills in doing business3.What can we learn about Willy Loman?A.He treats his employer badly.

T he houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they h old Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd lov e affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the n atural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to ge t creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the la te eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie o n the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader inter pretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so t hat employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in gl ass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooft op park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers a re the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says . “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, a nd we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do th at.”This craft based on theory is rooted in history, William Morri s, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” M orris said. Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged t o “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rache l Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environme nt. Her research found that workers with access to nature at t he office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.6. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.A. Twitter is having a hard timeB. old cottages are in need of protectionC. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montan aD. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology7. Low technology is regarded as something that _______.A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virt ual world8. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ______ __.A. have destroyed many per-industrial artsB. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines9. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be describ ed as ________.A. positiveB. defensiveC. cautiousD. d oubtful10. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Past Glories, Future DreamsB. The Virtual World, the Real ChallengeC. High-tech Companies, Low-tech OfficesD. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity第二节:阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)What is life's greatest gift? 11 . Choice is the ability to se lect one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from d umb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free,however,for the price of choice is responsibility. 12 . The reward is happiness.Life is not still. It is a flow. 13 . We constantly need to monito r where we are on our journey.We need to ask questions:Am I moving closer to my goals? If not,what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take n ow to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.14 . And your life becomes more convenient or comfortab le because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far more important than decidin g where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference betw een minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy t he game. The pleasure is in the playing. Life is like a chess g ame. 15 .A.It is free will or choice.B.You have to make choices every day.C.Make the best moves you can under the circumstances. D.But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return .E.Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from o ur goals.F.Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the har der they get.G.Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to.第二部分:英语知识运用(共四节,满分65分)第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to l earn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 16 students’ strong interest in co mputers?Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 17 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using comput ers to teach students. There is 18 about the fact that IT le arning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology. 19 , views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success 20 whether they ca n make use of computers effectively.Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 2 1 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At pres ent, 20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computer s. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 22 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the e xperts should know the 23 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 2 4 to see the policy through.Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledg e, will still be forced to 25 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 26 IT learning has just started. All teachers — incl uding the seniors who are very 27 in teaching, but who su ddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 28 from the very beginning. They will become 29 and their teaching performances may be badly affected . The experts have found out how much of each subject is tau ght by computers in every school, and have 30 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 31 or the cour ses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT lea rning and then 32 the usual way. Furthermore, he may le ave school work to his 33 through the computer before cl ass comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning 34 . 35 the teaching of the Chinese language is concern ed, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to rai se the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.16. A. show B. be C. matchD. have17. A. with B. to C. inD. from18. A. no reason B. no doubtC. no needD. no time19. A. However B. ThereforeC. AndD. So20.

But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊)and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.65. The main idea of the first paragraph is that .A. words have a lasting effect on usB. inspiring words give us confidenceC. negative words may let us downD. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us66. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because .A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB. talking to ourselves always gives us courageC. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone67. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely .A. remind ourselvesB. praise ourselvesC. make ourselves relaxedD. give ourselves amusement68. The author would probably hold the view that .A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB. negative words may motivate us to make more progressC. people tend to remember friendly wordsD. it is better to think twice before talking to othersCFlying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless——you just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport.

He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favourite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michael had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The children’s Hearing Institute reports th at hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one-third of the damage is caused by noise.Surrounded by NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, car and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone. Many “modern” restaurants have chosen noisy enhancement instead of abatement (减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel (分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed tonoise above 85 decibels.Introduction A boy lost much of his hearing due to being 1. __________ to headphones.

AA little homeless girl stood crying near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was too crowded. “ I can’t go to Sunday school.” She cried to the priest (牧师) as he walked by. The priest took her inside. The child was very happy because they found a room for her . She went to bed that night thinking of the children who had no place to sleep or pray in.Two years later , the girl died there. As her little body was being moved, a worn and red purse was found, which she had found in the rubbish .Inside the purse was 57cents and a note , written in childish handwriting, which read :“This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school.”After the priest tearfully read that note, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion(热爱) to others. Soon, a newspaper reported on it .It was read by a wealthy man who offered the church a piece of land worth many thousands of dollars. When told that the church could not pay much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents. Soon, the church collected a large amount of money. Within five years, the girl’s gift had increased to $250,000. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, visit Temple Baptist Church , Temple University, and the Sunday school building .No child here is left outside on Sunday school days again . One of the rooms of the Sunday school building is hanged with the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose57 cents made such a remarkable and real history.21.How did the girl feel when she thought of other homeless kids?A. Joyful.B. Shameful.C. Sympathetic.D. Lucky.22. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?A. The wealthy man sold his land for $250,000 in all.B. The little girl picked up the purse from piles rubbishC. A small sum of money sometimes can make a remarkable historyD. At first, the girl wasn’t allowed in because the church was too crowded.23. What is the best title for the passage?A. Poor and Rich.B. A Red Purse.C. A New Sunday School.D. What Fifty-seven Cents Can Do?BWomen make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth—women are queens of the road.Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.Speeding is what men do best on the road. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don’t get pulled over as frequently. We don’t speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and they’re totally lost int o loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving like that.I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men. We women rule the road. Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing (批评) women for being bad drivers, bring it on.24. If a woman driver feels lost, she will __________.A.stop the car and ask people for helpB. take the wrong turns at a high speedC. tell the man next to her to shut upD. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping25. According to Paragraph 4, men drivers __________ worries the writer most.A.making jokes about womenB. not paying full attentionC. not stopping for directionsD. getting more speeding tickets26. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A B C D①①②③④①①②② ③ ④ ③② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ④ ⑤(①=paragraph 1;②=paragraph 2;③=paragraph 3;④=paragraph 4;⑤=paragraph 5)CIf you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power tomake a difference in the lives of others.We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Wh atever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.27. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Your life style.B. Your life value.C. Your trouble in life.D. Your life experience.28. Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A. They possess different kinds of superpowers.B. They have got the power to change the world.C. Some people around them are making the world better.D. There are many powerful people in their life and work.29. What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?A. Trying your best to help the poor.B. Rising above self and acting to help others.C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.D. Learning more and contributing more to a cause.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Much more progress will be made in the near future.B. The work on health is the most valuable experience.C. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.D. People’s efforts have been materially rewarded.DThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.
