Teams of up to four participants will compete in an all-day race. On foot, the Amazing Foot Rally is a green and healthy way to see Winnipeg, earn points and contribute to the building of a new home for a family in need.Money raised through fundraising and sponsorships goes directly to help Habitat for Humanity Manitoba build more affordable homes that create more opportunities and brighter futures for families in need.Date: Saturday, June 7,2014Registration: 9:00 amAddress: Delta Winnipeg, 350 St. Mary AvenueTeam Information:• Teams can include up to 4 members.• At last 1 team member must be over the age of 18.

It is recommended that you refer to these documents prior to registration. Registration deadline is May 30, 2014.56.According to the passage, the Amazing Foot Rally is mainly ____.A.an entertainment organizationB.a charity activityC.a body-building activityD.a house-building organization57.According to team information, ____.A.school children can organize their own teamB.each team has at least four membersC.individual registration fee may be differentD.the team raising the most money can stay at Lakeview Hecla ResortBIf you glance at the Facebook page of General Motors(GM), it seems like business as usual at the Detroit automakers, even though the company is struggling to cope with the recalls of 1.6 million cars that it has linked to 12 deaths.GM’s page promotes jobs at the once-bankrupt company, congratulates the winner of a Chevy photo contest and shows off the antislip technology on the new Camaro Z28.However, dig into the comments on those posts, and you will find customers like Donna Genader, whose daughter died due to GM’s problematic car. You will also see dozens of messages back from GM customer service representatives trying to answer their questions about the recall and engage them in private messages to iron out individual problems.GM’s dual (双重的) approach reflects the company must depend on social media like Facebook and Twitter, where a customer’s opinion about a brand is shaped by both what the company does and what other people say about it.“This issue cannot define GM going forward,” said Dave Evans, vice president for social strategy at Lithium Technologies. “They really have the opportunity to fundamentally r edefine themselves, as an open and listening organization.”Lauren Munhoven turned to Twitter after wasting an hour on the phone with GM trying to get help with her 2006 Saturn Ion, which was recalled in February because of a defective(有缺陷的) ignition switch.“Your agents keep telling me to take my car to GM dealer for the recall, after I’ve explained I live on an island in Alaska! Help” she wrote in a public tweet.After a series of private messages with a member of GM’s Twitter team the company agreed t o pay the $600 cost of a round-trip ferry to ship Ms. Munhoven’s car to the nearest dealer and pay for a rental car for the time she is without the Saturn.Amrit Mehta, GM’s director of customer and relationship services, said the company’s social media te am tried to reach out to people like Ms. Munhoven to understand and resolve their specific concerns.Roland Rust, a professor at the University of Maryland, said that GM’s responsiveness online was “absolutely the right thing to do.” A healthy public response is critical to the company’s future profits.Despite the outpouring of headlines about federal investigations into GM’s decade-long failure to issue the recall, overall sentiment about GM and its brands on Twitter has remained the same since the crisis began.Consumers are not tweeting much about the recalls. But car owners are using social media to trade tips and put public pressure on the company on issues like giving affected customers loaner cars until their vehicles can be fixed.58. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ______.A. GM’s business continues as normal even though many cars of GM have to be recalled.B. GM pretends to be calm in the face of the problematic cars.C. GM’s new technology is worth attention.D. GM is cold towards human lives.59. The underlined word “define” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “______”.A. lead toB. witnessC. account forD. prevent60. The example of Lauren Munhoven is meant to show ______.A. GM is willing to help its customersB. GM would like to be kept an eye on by the publicC. social media has become an accepted marketing tool of GMD. social media is an important tool for GM to help customers out61. What can be inferred from the passage?A. GM has succeeded in solving a brand crisis.B. GM’s future profits aren’t influenced by recalls at this timeC. The author thinks every coin has two sides as to social media.D. The author thinks some customers didn’t make full use of social media.CEvery year, people with extraordinary memory skills compete at that definitive(有权威的) memory event: the World Memory Championships. They are required to do these tasks: looking at and reciting a two-page poem, recollecting a page of 40-digit numbers, remembering the order of 52 cards in a deck, memorizing the names of 110 people after looking at their pictures, etc. Completing any of these tasks may seem impossible for the average person, but scientific evidence seems to show that even someone with average skills can be transformed into a memory champion through training.One memory champion explained his method of recalling the order of the cards in deck. He used a memorable image and linked a person, an action, and a thing to each card in the deck.Still even having created images for each group of three cards, it is difficult to keep them in order. This is done using the method of loci (轨迹). First, imagine a path that is well known to you. Along the path there need to be landmarks that you know well. Into each landmark, you mentally put one of the vivid images you created. Then, in your mind, go back and follow the path, stopping at each land mark along the way. With practice, you’ll be able to remember a deck of cards in order.The 2006 World Memory Championships were held at Oxford University in England. The winner, Clemens Mayer from Germany, is the perfect example of how someone with an average memory can improve it. Just three years before, Mayer had seen another memory champion on television, memorizing the order of cards in a deck. Mayer was a champion runner, without any special memory skills. Still, he thought he could do it, and he began to work hard at training his memory. He spent two hours a day practicing, and succeeded.Don’t be satisfied with limited memory power. By using the me thods of grouping, lining to vivid images, and the method of loci, we can all improve our memories. You might even become the next World Memory Champion!62. Which memory task is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Remembering the order of the cards.B. Remembering a drawing.C. Memorizing a poem.D. Memorizing names.63. Why is the method of loci useful for memorizing a deck of cards in order?A. It makes images even more vivid.B. It lets you go back again if you forget.C. It allows landmarks to be more easily remembered.D. It helps create images for each group of three cards.64. According to the passage, what do we know about Clemens Mayer?A. He won the championship in 2004.B. He learned memory skills from watching TV.C. His running skills helped his memory training.D. He developed excellent memory skills by training.65. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ______.A. praise World Memory ChampionsB. explain a good memory is a matter of trainingC. show the history of the World Memory ChampionshipsD. recommend some special people with great memory skillsDSurvey the world’s campaigns to reduce poverty and improve people’s lives, and a common thread emerges: people in wealthy countries feel it’s important that people in poor countr ies stay at home. Development organizations in Africa, in particular, receive billions of dollars each year to oversee programs designed to make “life at home” better for Africans.One could go further and argue that if Africans in one particular state or region migrate(移民) or want to migrate, then development in that area hasn’t worked. In his 2007 paper “Keeping them in their place: the ambivalent relationship between development and migration in Africa”, the International Migration Institute’s Oliver Bak ewell wrote that “from its earliest roots, development practice has commonly seen a reduction in migration as either an aim of intervention(干预) or an indicator of a program’s success.”But a fascinating new paper from the World Bank turns this logic on it s head. “Does migration promote exports?” has a title with an unnecessary question mark. According to the authors, migration does indeed promote exports in Africa, and in numbers large enough to catch the attention of development and policy leaders worldwi de. Their findings “suggest that one additional migrant creates about 2,100 dollars a year in additional exports for his country of origin.”African countries tend to have weak legal institutions and therefore loose enforcement(实施) of the rule of law, and African migrants living abroad play an especially important role in addressing these challenges. The migrants create an “enforcement channel”, the authors write.If, for instance, a shop owner in the United Kingdom wants to purchase and resell Ghanaian(加纳的) fabrics, a member of the Ghanaian diaspora living in London can help ensure--- if not by law then by the threat of shame in his native community--- that the dealer doesn’t get tricked by sellers from an unfamiliar culture a continent away.Indeed, the loss of human capital is often used as an argument against the concept of migration as a form of development. But the Center for Global Development’s Michael Clemens has shown that rather than create a void(真空), African health professionals leaving home may actually encourage more people to attempt to duplicate their success by becoming health professionals themselves.Back in 2007, Bakewell argued that international development has been shaped by one of the annoying elements of colonialism, which depended heavily on controlling the movement of locals for the benefit of European migrants to Africa.In a study for the Overseas Development Institute, Priya Deshingkar and Sven Grimm made a similar argument. They wrote, “Policymaker have tended to regard migration largely as a problem, presenting a threat to social and economic stability, and have therefore tried to control it, rather than view it as an important livelihood option for the poor.”“The paper would thus suggest that through migration, trade barriers h ampering African trade could be further reduced,” wrote the authors.66. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. What stops Africa’s brain drain(人才流失)?B. The brain drain originates from a better cultural understandingC. Why can the brain drain actually benefit African countries?D. The brain drain is a realistic way developed countries help developing countries67. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. the more successful an African migrant is, the more he is helpfulB. African people are intelligent and will create great wealth for the worldC. African migrants can help enforce the rule of law of their home countriesD. African migrants will feel ashamed if sellers in their home countries fool dealers68. The underli ned word “duplicate” in Paragraph 6 can best be replaced by “________”.A. proveB. copyC. guaranteeD. create69. Policymakers in Africa should ________.A. cooperate with African migrants very oftenB. reflect on existing policiesC. keep a record of the information about African migrantsD. work on reducing poverty70. What’s the passage’s attitude towards Africa’s brain drain?A. Supportive.B. Subjective.C. Unknown.D. Critical.五、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1分；满分10分）There are many variables (变数) that can keep you from achieving your goals, which is why your focus is absolutely needed. But all the focus will be of little good unless you have the motivation and direction you’ll need to succeed. What we’re going to discuss here are simple strategies you can employ to help you reach goals you’ve set for yourself.To achieve any goals, you must first start with learning what it takes to reach your goals. Stating a desire to simply accomplish this or achieve that gives you direction, which is what you’ll need to succeed. Your goals must be specific so you can make a plan to reach them, otherwise you’re just dreaming, which is far different from establishing a clear-cut plan to reach your goals. Without having a solid and realistic plan, to reach goals is much like trying to hit a target without seeing it.You’ll never be able to reach goals of any sort unless you have a burning desire to make them your reality, therefore you must be passionate about this. The process of making your dreams come true typically involves several activities or tasks that may seem mundane (平淡的) or even boring. It is primarily for this reason that many people quit and walk away before they taste success. On the other hand, if you really possess a burning desire to accomplish what it takes to live your dreams, losing your motivation will not be an issue.No matter what your goals may be, it’s quite likely that somebody has already achieved what is now the point of your focus. Following their path and even modifying their approaches to suit your purpose can only make sense and may be all you’ll need to succeed. Quite often we find ourselves trying to reinvent the wheel to get the same results others have gotten but as you can hopefully understand, there is little point in doing so. If the answers are sitting right there in plain sight, why spend the time and effort to try and find new ones? Of course, the accomplishment of others and your own goals are the same.As the discussion above clearly implies, whatever you set out to achieve will require a bit of planning as well as your focus and effort. Failure to take the time and diligence (勤勉) your preparations and efforts demand will simply result in your own frustrations and unfulfilled goals.六、书面表达（满分25分）阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
