The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.Her mother Ruby turned around and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed co mplex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pup ils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burn s victims.She is a member of the Scottish Burn ed Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I ’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she s ays. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”【1】What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?A．They were friendly to her.B．They showed sympathy to her.C．They were afraid of her.D．They looked down upon her.【2】Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to___________.A．face others’ unkindness bravely B．hide their scars by proper dressingC．live a normal life D．recover quickly【3】What does the underlined word “permanent” in the 4t h paragraph mean?A．necessary B．life-longC．difficult D．important【4】What can be the best title of the passage?A．A Seriously Burned Girl SurvivesB．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind StaresC．Permanent Scars And Pain For a GirlD．A seriously burned angel of Hope4.Attitudes to AIDS NowMost people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(传染病) is over," a new survey finds.The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths."While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure" says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995.51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures.67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting th e message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message … We have seen signs of complacency.【1】What do activists worry about?A．Recent news about AIDS is not true.B．Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.C．Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline.D．People may stop worrying about AIDS【2】According to the passage, people's attitude toward the cure of AIDS isA．optimistic.B．hopelessC．pessimistic.D．realistic【3】The Gallup Poll shows that the number of people___________.A．who suffer from the worst disease -- AIDS has fallen.B．who think AIDS is the country's top health killer has fallen.C．who worry about AIDS and health problems has fallen.D．who think AIDS threatens the countryside has fallen.【4】According to the Kaiser Poll, which of the following is NOT Correct?A．The country is making progress against AIDS.B．More and more people die of AIDS now.C．AIDS drugs can now make people live longer.D．AIDS drugs still cannot save people's lives.二、其他How to Improve Vocabulary FastYour vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it. Read every day. 【1】 Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.【2】. If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one. Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.Elaborate(详尽阐述)on the meaning of the word. If you have just l earned that the word “stubborn” , think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.【3】Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow.【4】 But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.【5】. The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.A．Find a new word every day.B．The vocabulary can be increased.C．Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.D．The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.E. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.F. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.G. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.三、完形填空We didn’t have a lot of money wh en I was little, so Mum had to ______my fringe(刘海) herself.

It sounded exciting and 31 ! Anyone who has ever climbed knows that you can easily 32 where there is no place to go, or so. It seems you’re stuck. But 33 is not an option. You cannot just stand there and feel 34 for yourself. You cannot go back down, so you are 35 to become solution minded.I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb, 36 about three quarters of the way to the top. It seemed thatthere was no place to go, and 37 to put my hands or feet so that I could 38 upward. But after a few minutes had passed I realized that I had to do 39 . I began to look again for a(n) 40 . I then noticed a 41 sticking out, which I might be able to grab with my hands and 42 myself up to where I could have a small foothold. I called to the instructor at the top and asked him if that rock would hold my 43 if I pulled myself up. I can 44 remember his answer, “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it and see?”In life we many times feel “stuck”. We wonder how we got into the 45 that we are presently in. It is in those times that we need to be careful about how we define(定义)it. Have we failed, 46 is it just a setback? Setbacks, adversity(逆境), or being stuck is never an indication that you are a 47 unless you decide that those things define your life as a failure. For people looking for a(n) 48 to be a failure, there are always plenty to choose from. But if you want your life to be successful, setbacks, adversity and being stuck are 49 stepping-stones to your success. Success minded people 50 those kinds of things for what they really are. They know that for them, they are only temporary.31. A. amusing B. challenging C. boring D. surprising32. A. put away B. take up C. end up D. lead to33.

I was deeply moved by the connection and spirituality that I witnessed during my visit. As a profession who plays a musical instrument, I believe in the power of music to go beyond words and connect people.I have been disabused of any ides that music therapy is simply about playing a guitar. In the hands of a skilled music therapist like Seasons’ Georgia, the guitar and voice are spiritual and deeply connected tools that can be extremely meaningful to a patient that is in pain, or family that is in need of healing.Georgia, her colleague Sophie and I visited two patients at one of Seasons’ inpatient units. One, Ms. Anne, requested Johnny Cash songs initially. I sang along with her to “I Walk the Line”. We then learned from her nephew that she led a church chorus for 50 years. As Georgia played the guitar, Ms. Anne said that she was ready to go, ready to relieve the burden on her family.Ms. Anne’s second song request was “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less.” I hadn’t heard this song before, but I was so moved to see and hear Georgia and Ms. Smith harmonize beautifully, with Ms. Anne repeating the last line—“All other ground is sinking sand”—twice. Ms. Anne sang these lines with a certainly and unshakable belief. We all knew, somehow, that Ms. Anne would soon die. As I leaned in to speak with Ms. Anne, she asked me why I didn’t sing with her. I told her that I didn’t want to mess up her beautiful two part harmony. She smiled, as if she knew that I didn’t really know the words. Two hours later, Ms. Anne died.24. What is probably the authorA. A patient.B. A musician.C. A physician.D. A nurse.25. What does the author think of music therapistsA. They compose songs to cheer patients up.B. They are groups of people who play guitars.C. They provide peace to patients at the end of life.D. They have the right to visit any hospital freely.26. What can you infer about Ms. Anne from the textA. She was an expert in singing.B. She was a relative of Georgia.C. She was a burden of her family.D. She was easily moved by others’ visit.27. Why did the author fail to sing the second song with Ms. AnneA. He was too sick to sing a word.B. He didn’t really know the song.C. He lacked harmony with others.D. He made no request for the song.CScientists have shown that humans appear to have an ability to understand the sighs of apes. The result is a little surprising, since most people haven’t spent much time at all with apes.Humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We’ve been doing this for tens of thousands of years. Apes have their own system of gestures (special movements or signs) to show what they mean. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”. Scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But until now, no one has studied whether humans can understand the gestures of apes. Researchers Kirsty Grahamand Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided to verify this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of apes.The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers.For the videos, the researchers chose 10 of the most common gestures used by apes. Thousands of people played the game. They were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. That’s twice as good as people would be expected to do by chance.For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the gesture of wiping the mouth, which people correctly guessed meant “give me that food”. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it’s not clear why.28. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 3 probably meanA. Quit.B. Believe.C. Trail.D. Admit.29. How do researchers show whether humans could understand the gestures of apesA. By using an online game.B. By interacting with apes.C. By watching short video. C. By studying apes’ habits.30. What gesture will apes use to show “give me that food”A. Big loud scratch.B. Wiping the mouth.C. Reaching the hand.D. Biting the lips.31. What’s the main idea of the textA. Apes have their own system of gestures.B. Humans make the same gestures as apes.C. Different gestures show different meanings.D. Humans can understand signals used by apes.DThere are dozens of action and horror films, all focusing on artificial intelligence and what happens when robots take over. While this makes for great entertainment, some people take this idea to heart and are terrified of robots taking over their work. This slight panic by some mirrors what we know from history; when electricity was discovered and mass produced, everyone worried about candlestick makers. When cars became popular, carriage makers were worried they would be out in the cold. Technology advancements do sometimes mean that certain jobs become less needed over time, but that doesn’t mean entire industries are just out of luck. In fact, research shows that automation doesn’t reduce the number of jobs available, and it can even add more jobs to the workforce.Many of these jobs are in the information technology industries. If you’re considering going into IT, now is an ideal time to get the education you need to pursue that career. AI and tech advantages are only going to keep moving forward. As new technology is created, more jobs are needed. Having an IT degree will mean you’re ready to be part of these advancements and can feel secure in your future.Currently many of these new exciting AI advancements haven’t trickled(流) into everyday life. For example, self-driving cars are an exciting and developing technology, but you can’t buy one and likely won’t be able to anything soon. If being involved in these current developments sounds exciting to you, it could be the perfect time to get an IT degree and move into a field where you’d be on the cusp(尖端) of all the technology advances ahead.With new technology, some jobs eventually do become less necessary (there aren’t many carriage makers today). But change is the only constant in the world. And ultimately, technology advancements of the past and present are hugely beneficial for society.32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1A. Remind readers of the history.B. Introduce the topic of the text.C. Express ideas about honor films.D. Show the development of robots.33. What does the author suggest you do for the security of your futureA. Master IT technology skills.B. Enter automation industries.C. Get involved in film making.D. Change your jobs frequently.34. What can we learn from the last two paragraphsA. AI advancements have entered everyone’s life.B. Technology progress does good to us humans.C. More jobs will be accessible to ordinary workers.D. The most exciting job is to make self-driving cars.35. What is the best title of the textA. What jobs are availableB. Are self-driving cars safeC. Will robots take my jobD. Why have robots invented第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

It's not something I'd 1ike to do．so I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a program me to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing hou se for all the world’s new cocoa varieties．They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown．Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4．4 million tons last year but about 30％of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases．Now we don’t w ant that，do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem．The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985，after it took over thetask from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London．And it has improved its facilities．The leader of the institution’s cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material．”The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep themin tropical conditions．After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries，including several in West Africa．That’s where 75％of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comesfrom．The crop is extremely important for the local economy：it employs about two million people.Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection．And more of us seem to count on them now．The scientist says，“there is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates．”【1】What is the text mainly about?A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds．B．Planting cocoa worldwide．C．Keeping cocoa in greenhouse．D．Finding the new market for cocoa．【2】The institution’s cocoa project is to_______．A．have cocoa skin removedB．offer more jobs to peopleC．ensure the quality of

up a reading room as part of a campaign（活动）that stops students from taking their mobile phones with them in case the device distracts（使分心）them from concentrating on their studies.Reportedly a student named Hu Xiaopeng participating in the campaign studied 530 minutes without using his mobile phone.Unlike Hu,another one picked up his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes.“Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library,a habit that shortens their study time and negatively impacts their learning,we decided to open this reading room,”said Zhang Shuran,the person responsible for the project at the university.Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them.The hags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room."Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when there's a call,"said Zhang,adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them,but willnot tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message.Based on the time students hand in their phones when they come to the reading room and the time they get them back when they leave the room,Hu Xiaopeng from College of Animal Science and Technology of the university set a record of the longest time.Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone.Though feeling somewhat surprised,Hu said,"It's bad to keep mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying."The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was launched a week ago.Some Internet users praised the campaign.One user named Liu Jingchang said,"It's good.I don’t bring my phone when going to the library in case I get distracted."【1】Why is the reading room opened in Chongqing City?A．To prevent students using mobile phones in

idea.【3】What is the attitude of the students toward the reading room?A．Cautious.B．Supportive.C．Doubtful.D．Anxious.【4】What is the best title for the passage?A．New methods to attract students to read.B．The harm of mobile phones.C．A student studying nearly nine hours without using the mobile phone.D．Students are encouraged to study with their mobile phones.4.I was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace. While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whisp ered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.”and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session,I asked my colleague,“how do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.【1】What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A．Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B．The author enjoys traveling around the world.C．Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D．The author may start his own business in the future.【2】Hearing the colleague whispering,the author________.A．went back to his seat and got seatedB．knew his colleague had some questionsC．owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueD．thought his colleague would get nowhere【3】Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A．America.B．Africa.C．Japan.D．France二、其他Parents' Day OriginParents’ day is an American event to honor the parents and families.【1】It was only in the year 1994 that this event got officially accepted in the USA.【2】But it can be certainly said that this event is born from the eternal（永恒的）desire of mankind to honor and appreciate parents—who are responsible for the upbringing（养育）of the new generation.Their huge efforts and patience have opened up a new view for the humankind.As said earlier,Parents’ Day got its acceptance in the year 1994.President Mr.Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law.It was decided that the fou rth Sunday of every July would be celebrated as Parents’ Day.【3】It is similar to the Mother's Day and Father's Day.【4】But within few years after its acceptance,the event has spread its wings to the whole world.The event is now widely accepted and the joy of celebration is even more compared to a decade ago.Some of us may say that,it is a duty for the parents to bring up their children in the best possible way.【5】They do it all because of the bondage（捆绑）of love and affection by which they are bonded to their children.A.Of course it is,but not for a duty.B.Parents should bring their children up.C.The tradition of celebrating Parents’ Day is relatively new.D.Surprisingly this event was not even there over two decades ago.E.The Mother’s Day and Father's Day are similar to Parents’ Day in the USA.F.It is very hard to say when the idea of Parents’ Day actually came into picture.G.Parents’ Day is celebrated throughout the USA.三、完形填空As I held my father’s hands one night, I couldn’t help but notice t heir calluses (老茧) and roughness.
