Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AHe's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he'll fix them for you right away.”But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait”—without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.”I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“See what I can do?” he said with pride.“Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ”When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hot, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.56. Why did the author think the man was a skilled cobbler?A. Because the cobbler was old and kind.B. Because he had observed the cobbler’s shop for a long time.C. Because the cobbler wiped his hands on his blue apron.D. Because the cobbler refused to fix his shoes at first.57. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” implies that _______.A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like himB. it was difficult to communicate with this manC. the man was very strangeD. the man was too old58. According to the author, many people work just to ________.A. realize their abilitiesB. gain happinessC. make moneyD. gain respect59. This story wants to tell us that ________.A. craftsmen make a lot of moneyB. whatever you do, do it wellC. craftsmen need self-respectD. people are born equalBEveryone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn（顽固的）, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up（卷曲）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.60. According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.A. only in a normal nightB. only when you go to sleepC. only when you refuse to show yourself to the worldD. only when you change sleeping position61. Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach？A. He or she is careful not to offend(冒犯) others.B. He or she doesn't want to stick to his or her opinion.C. He or she can't be successful in any business.D. He or she likes to bring others happiness.62. Maybe you don't want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why？A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.B. He or she is rarely ready to help you.C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out.D. He or she wouldn't like to get help from you.63. It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because __________.A. he or she always shows pity for peopleB. he or she is confident，but not stubbornC. he or she has more strengths than weaknessesD. he or she often considers annoying peopleCWhat will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.64. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller as time passesD. man will disappear65. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because ________.A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on66. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.67. We can infer that _______.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its becoming worseC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictableDIf you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare," "Samuel Johnson," and "Webster," but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English-----William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.68.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were______.A. Welsh and ScottishB. Nordic and GermanicC. Celtic and Old EnglishD. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic69.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.B. They know little of the history of the English language.C. Many French words are similar to English ones.D. They know French better than German.70.What is the subject discussed in the text?A. The history of Great Britain.B. The similarity between English and French.C. The rule over England by William the Conqueror.D. The French influences on the English language .71.The underlined word “distinction” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.A differenceB similarityC extinctionD likenessELATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s “She Is Not Invisible” is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflect ion on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager whose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets“Six Bad Poets” is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon.For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger Knight looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s park s, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.72. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself73. The book “Britain Against Napoleon” focuses on_______A. how the British defeated NapoleonB. how Napoleon occupied the UKC. the contribution of politiciansD. the influence of war74.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) fraud. Your card information can even be on sale on an illegal website. Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive thegoods they thought they had bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers(黑客) have broken down security system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer(批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay $ 157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for web-only credit-cards, with a lower credit limit. The card can be used only for shopping online. However , there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm’s online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first $ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information only if the website offers advanced security system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The website address may also start with https://--the e xtra “s” stands for security. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.56. The underlined word “fraud” in the first paragraph probably means ______.A. cheatingB. saleC. paymentD. use57.

Why Thieves Steal Credit-card InformationBMovies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as theOscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm—the first mobile film festival.The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length—ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.New PlatformsThe awards highlight(突出) the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances.In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.61.

Films made for mobiles will likely be clearer.CBEIJING, China ---Pollution in China remains very serious as the country's rapid economic growth brings new environmental problems, a minister said Saturday.Vice Environment Minister Zhang Lijun said China has made progress on environmental protection, but admitted that its rapid economic growth over the past decade has had a negative effect on the environment."Our rapid economic development has continuously brought our country new environmental problems, particularly dangerous chemicals, electronic waste and so on. These environmental pollutants (污染物) bring new problems and affect human health," Zhang told a news conference.He said that emissions(排放)of traditional pollutants remain high and some areas have failed to meet government standards.China has pledged（保证）to continue reducing emissions this year of three key air pollutants--- ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide（二氧化硫）and nitrogen oxide. The government has also promised to bring down demand for chemical oxygen---a measure of water pollution by l.5 percent from the 2010 levels.In the last five years, there were 912 "environmental emergencies" involving heavy metalpollution, including several well-publicized instances of mass contamination, Zhang said. Thousands of children were affected by lead poisoning(铅中毒) in several provinces in 2009 and 2010 because they lived near metal smelters or battery factories.Other incidents included a diesel fuel leak(漏) in the Yellow River, chemical contamination(污染) in the northeast Songhua River following a flood, and crude oil leakage off the northeastern coastal city of Dalian after a pipeline burst(爆炸).The minister noted that rapid development in the next five years would increase the need for China to improve environmental protection and change to a more sustainable(可持续的) model of economic development from its dependence on industries which consume huge quantities of energy.China is focusing on clean energy, including solar（太阳的）, wind and nuclear power（核能）, as one way to reduce its dependence on coal, which generates three-quarters of its electricity and is also used for winter heating in northern cities. China also hopes the strategy will reduce its demand for oil and gas and increase economic growth and jobs.Zhang told reporters there was no plan to adjust China's overall strategy for nuclear development but he said Beijing will learn lessons from Japan after a violent earthquake resulted in a radioactive leak(放射能泄露)."Some lessons we learn from Japan will be considered in the making of China's nuclear power plans," he said. "But China will not change its determination and plan for developing nuclear power."66. According to the minister, the pollution problem requires China to______.A. slow its economic developmentB. ask industries to meet their own standardsC. depend on industries consuming large amounts of energyD. change its economic development model67. From the text, we can know water pollution is partly measured by______.A. the demand for chemical oxygenB. the amount of waste gas emissionsC. the degree of heavy metal pollutionD. the number of environmental pollutants68. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?A. Rapid economic growth helps to improve the environment.B. Dangerous chemicals are one of the traditional pollutants.C. Coal is used more in northern cities than in southern cities.D. The use of clean energy will help increase job opportunities.69. The underlined word "generates" in Paragraph 9 means "______".A. reducesB. transportsC. producesD. needs70. What is Zhang's attitude towards what happened in Japan?A. He is astonished at it and feels pity for the Japanese peopleB. He thinks China will pay more attention to nuclear safety.C. He thinks Japan should do something to prevent it from happening again.D. He doesn't think it will influence China's nuclear power plans at all.Part 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder… if scientists can send a ma n to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.There is one interesting thing to note —some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only sevenSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Knowing others constantly makes us understand others' differences.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and an open mind.You need to remember an old saying ,“Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too, If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.81.What is the passage mainly about?

When we are faced with them, nothing is more important than hope and self-confidence. With confidence, we can find sometimes the question is not as “huge” as we imagine.Take most of us for example, the entrance exam to college seems to be a horrible monster. Accordingly, some people give up, some persist. In my eyes, with confidence, right assessment of the difficulties, as well as full preparation, try and exert your strength, and then we will overcome all problems and challenges. On the whole, I believe we youngsters should face the difficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, brave it out and just do it!。

Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Bicycles are very popular around the world today. People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment. In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work. In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities. But who invented the first bicycle?In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Sivrac invented and owned the first bicycle. Mrs. Sivrac rode the bicycle in Paris. The handles (把手) and the seat were wooden. This bicycle was very difficult to move. A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. Finally, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedalsfor the feet! Riding a bicycle was a great risk.In 1817, a German named Baron von Drais de Sauerbrun made the first bicycle better. The seat became more comfortable. The wheel could now change direction. His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot, which surprised people at that time.Sauerbrun brought this kind of bicycle from Germany to France. Then Denis Johnson, an Englishman, made a bicycle for women. It had space for their dresses to hang down. But these bicycles still had no brakes or pedals, and riders often got hurt. These bicycles and the people who rode them were not very popular.It took another forty-five years for the bicycle to become popular. More than 100 years later, bicycle riding is more popular than ever. In fact, in India and China, there are still many more bicycles than cars.The Great InventionTime 51 Items FeaturesIn 1791 53 the first bicycle 57 to ride52 Baron von Drais deSauerbrun the first bicyclemade 5558 to rideUnknow n 54 a 56 Having 59 for dressesto hang downFunctions of riding bicycles---for exercise, 60 and transportation SECTION B (10 marks)Section CDirections: Translate the following Chinese sentences into English and the underlined Englishsentences into Chinese.(10marks)How are you?

At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he might lead a poor life being a mathematician, so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph. D．in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).World War Ⅱ hugely changed von Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematical theories into practice. During the last part of the war, he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died of cancer in 1957.Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.Von Neumann really was a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving abilities is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was dr iving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”4．According to the text, von Neumann’s father believed that _________.A．a mathematician needed a good memoryB．von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same timeC．von Neumann had the gift for solving problems at a high speedD．a mathematician couldn’t earn a lot of money5．How old was von Neumann when he published his first bookA．25. B．26. C．29. D．32.6．How did World War Ⅱ affect John von NeumannA．He lost interest in chemistry.B．He began to research how to put mathematics into practiceC．He realized the importance of engineering.D．He left college and served at the government department.7．From the last paragraph, we can infer John von Neumann was __________. A．humorous B．intelligent C．brave D．calmBreathing is something you do all day long, without even thinking about it. However, you might be doing it wrong. Research shows that the way you breathe affects theamount of oxygen (氧气) you take in，as well as how you think and feel.So which is it Do you breathe through your nose or your mouth Some health experts recommend people breathe in through the nose and out through their mouth. Others say that people should just focus on breathing easily, paying no attention to their mouth or nose preference. But mouth breathing has also been connected with bad breath, high blood pressure and bad teeth.Nose breathing may improve how memories are stabilized (稳定) in our brains, according to Swedish researchers. During the study, participants smelled 12 different smells and they were asked to breathe either through their nose or mouth for an hour afterwards. Then, they were presented with the original set of smells and a new set. Those who smelled with their nose remembered the smells better.A research team recognized the differences in brain activity that happened when seven epilepsy (癫痫) patients breathed through the nose or through the mouth. The team found three areas of the brain where activity is connected with breathing. These areas showed more changes in brain activity only when volunteers breathed in through their noses.So, should people breathing through the mouth change their breathing habits If you’re happy with the way you breathe and you aren’t experiencing any health problems, be yourself and just keep your own way. But if you think it might be time for a change, focus on breathing through your nose until it becomes a habit. It might help you survive an emergency.8．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer toA．Your life style. B．How you breathe.C．How you think and feel. D．The oxygen you take in.9．What did Swedish researchers findA．Nose breathing may improve memory.B．Mouth breathing causes health problems.C．People breathing through the nose identify smells difficultly.D．People breathing through the mouth have a good sense of taste.10．What is the effect of nose breathing according to the researchA．It helps one to stay healthy.B．It cures bad breath and snoring.C．It makes one’s brain more active.D．It improves one’s sense of smell.11．What does the author think of nose breathingA．It’s hard to get used to.B．It’s suitable for everybody.C．It’s what people have to do.D．It’s what p eople can benefit from.As a research scholar at the Indian Institute for Science Education and Research, I once monitored birds that inhabited grasslands in Daying Ering Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected area in Northeast India. This habitat forms a part of one of the most bio-diverse places on Earth. Yet despite their ecological importance and uniqueness, most grasslands are classified by the Indian government as “wastelands”.Ecosystems throughout the world are suffering from the effects of unchecked habitat loss and climate change. While all types of ecosystems—forests, grasslands, oceans, wetlands and deserts—feel these effects, there is evidence of bias (偏好) towards the conservation of forest biodiversity. This bi as hurts the preservation of other ecosystems, including the grasslands that make up 24 percent of the Indian landmass. These grasslands are home to important biodiversity and support the livelihoods of millions of people, yet are defined in India by their value in being turned into forests for fighting climate change.Apart from being costly, the move overlooks the ecological and social value of grasslands by turning them into mono-culture forests, which do not provide the same ecological benefits. Yet, grasslands could be equally good at storing carbon. India and other countries with substantial grasslands need to recognize, support and prioritize evidence-based scientific attempts that focus on grasslands by establishing grassland-specific restoration efforts, as well as by mapping their extent and the ecosystem services they provide for humans. The time is ripe for abandoning outdated labelings like “wastelands”.Already, communities like the Todas and the Idu Mishmi people are protecting grasslands in India through collective action and local stewardship (管理), which are helping them connect with the grasslands. With the aim of preserving the richness of nature, the government must restore greater rights to local communities to manage grasslands. Grasslands are an important feature of an ecologically sound India, one that must be preserved for that value above all others.12．What does the author want to stress in the second paragraphA．Forests are hotspots of biodiversity. B．Deserts badly affect local ecology. C．Climate change threatens ecosystems. D．Grasslands need equal conservation. 13．What is the author’s attitude to Indian government’s moveA．Tolerant. B．Unclear. C．Negative. D．Favorable.14．Who should be encouraged to protect the grasslands according to the text A．Government officials. B．Local communities.C．University researchers. D．International agencies.15．Which is the most suitable title for the textA．Stop Treating Grasslands as Wastelands B．Take Active Steps to Limit Grasslands C．Recognize the Polluted Grasslands D．Transform Grasslands into ForestsMusic can relax the mind, energize the body, and even help people better manage pain. 16 Music therapy (疗法) is an intervention sometimes used to promote emotional health, help patients cope with stress, and boost psychological well-being.17Research suggests that background music improves mental performance. Playing more positive music leads to improvements in processing speed. So next time you are working on a task, turn on a little music in the background for a boost in your mental performance.Music can help you eat less.Music can be a helpful weight-loss tool. To lose weight, listen to soft music and dim the lights. According to one study, people eating at low-lit restaurants where softmusic was played consumed less food. 18 where participants may consume their food more slowly and feel full sooner.Music can help you sleep better19 While there are many approaches to treating this problem, research has demonstrated that listening to relaxing classical music can be a safe, effective, and affordable therapy.Music can help you manage painResearch has shown that music can be very helpful in the management of pain. One study of fibromyalgia (纤维性肌痛) patients found that those who listened to music for one hour a day experienced a significant reduction in pain. 20A．Music can reduce stressB．Music can improve mental performanceC．The psychological effects of music can be powerfulD．Music and lighting help create a more relaxing settingE．Some people enjoy listening to music before they go to sleepF．Such a result suggests music therapy can help treat some diseases G．Sleeplessness is a problem that affects people of different age groups二、完形填空Once there was a little girl who had many misfortunes in life and was struggling with problems.

Your card information can even be on sale on an illegal website. Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they had bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers(黑客) have broken down security system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer(批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay $ 157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for web-only credit-cards, with a lower credit limit. The card can be used only for shopping online. However , there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm’s online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first $ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information only if the website offers advanced security system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The website address may also start with https://--the e xtra “s” stands for security. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order.

They are getting their turn at MoFilm—the first mobile film festival.The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length—ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from theshortlist by an audience voting using their phones.New PlatformsThe awards highlight(突出) the increasing impact thatmobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Manygrassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances.In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simpleability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.61.

These environmental pollutants (污染物) bring new problems and affect human health," Zhang told a news conference.He said that emissions(排放)of traditional pollutants remain high and some areas have failed to meet government standards.China has pledged（保证）to continue reducing emissions this year of three key air pollutants--- ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide（二氧化硫）and nitrogen oxide. The government has also promised to bring down demand for chemical oxygen---a measure of water pollution by l.5 percent from the 2010 levels.In the last five years, there were 912 "environmental emergencies" involving heavy metal pollution, including several well-publicized instances of mass contamination, Zhang said. Thousands of children were affected by lead poisoning(铅中毒) in several provinces in 2009 and 2010 because they lived near metal smelters or battery factories.Other incidents included a diesel fuel leak(漏) in the Yellow River, chemical contamination(污染) in the northeast Songhua River following a flood, and crude oil leakage off the northeastern coastal city of Dalian after a pipeline burst(爆炸).The minister noted that rapid development in the next five years would increase the need for China to improve environmental protection and change to a more sustainable(可持续的) model of economic development from its dependence onindustries which consume huge quantities of energy.China is focusing on clean energy, including solar（太阳的）, wind and nuclear power（核能）, as one way to reduce its dependence on coal, which generates three-quarters of its electricity and is also used for winter heating in northern cities. China also hopes the strategy will reduce its demand for oil and gas and increase economic growth and jobs.Zhang told reporters there was no plan to adjust China's overall strategy for nuclear development but he said Beijing will learn lessons from Japan after a violent earthquake resulted in a radioactive leak(放射能泄露)."Some lessons we learn from Japan will be considered in the making of China's nuclear power plans," he said. "But China will not change its determination and plan for developing nuclear power."66.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder… if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t acure for each one.When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.There is one interesting thing to note —some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight i t and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but itSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one ofyour classmates?If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Knowing others constantly makes us understand others' differences.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and an open mind.You need to remember an old saying ,“Treat others how you want to be treated.”You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too, If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.81.What is the passage mainly about?

(注意：紧扣主题的发挥都是正确的)1、生活中困难不可避免，面对困难需要信心…2、试举一例说明信心在学习(或考试、生活等)方面的作用…3、你对困难的态度…It is well-known that we exist in a dynamic world with various difficulties. When we are faced with them, nothing is more important than hope and self-confidence. With confidence, we can find sometimes the question is not as “huge” as we imagine.Take most of us for example, the entrance exam to college seems to be a horrible monster. Accordingly, some people give up, some persist. In my eyes, with confidence, right assessment of the difficulties, as well as full preparation, try and exert your strength, and then we will overcome all problems and challenges. On the whole, I believe we youngsters should face the difficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, brave it out and just do it!。
