Each word can only be usedvery unusual. The camel, for example, can __41__and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9℃without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it __42__. However, most animals need to maintain a __43__ constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a __44__summer’s day, most of them are __45__only in the night. The desert comes fully to life only after the sun has __46__. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides__47__, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the __48__for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; __49__ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.Ⅲ.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage your have just read.(A)Ralph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took themabout an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arrest.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!”65. Why didn’t Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.D.Because it was time-consuming to go there.66. Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because people always drove too fast.D. Because the road conditions were poor.67. By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,” the author means that ________.A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable pricesC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the man68. What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. Mayor of the city.C. A robber.D. A police officer.(B)It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. “Upbringing” is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as o urs, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent.The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development.Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents’ capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate(天生的) abilities of the child.Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child’s continuing development may be warped(扭曲).A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy” but tactile (触觉的) stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.69. The word “cumulative” in Line 2 most probably means .A. decisiveB. progressively greaterC. strongD. extremely beneficial70. It can be seen from the passage that .A. upbringing and education are mutually complementaryB. by no means does the technological factor affect the dev elopment of children’s characterC. there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD. the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the home71. A child’s development might well be badly affected if .A. he were brought up in a happy environmentB. his mother often gave in to his demandsC. his energies were freely given an outletD. he had to follow unusually strict rules.72. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the humancharacter and personality is a series of .A. actsB. completionsC. functionsD. stagesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing (再评价) the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some respectable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were doubtful at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been quarreled, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where an unchanged society under a relatively kind regime（政治制度）of upper classes contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and energetic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid theWest’s mistakes?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)73. So far, _________________volumes have been published.74. When was the first volume published?75. The subject of this five-volume work is _______________________________________.76. According to the passage, what are the probable reasons for China not keeping up with the west?IV. Writing (20%)Section ADirection: Choose one of the words and expressions from the box to complete each sentence in their proper78. That American’s policy makers might be considering such a change isn't ____________.79. Many citizens, especially the young, have been leaving Gonaives ____________ a better life in other parts of Haiti or abroad.80. He became restless when his wife failed to _________81. Some of their decisions have stood the test of time; others ____________new developments.82.

AI took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him.One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(戒备地). The rest of us were silent.The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good Morning” in reply.The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or—hopefully – on holiday somewhere.When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰) a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.1. From the passage, we can infer that .A. people always cared about each other on the busB. people were unhappy and sleepy on the bus because they were tiredC. smiles can shorten the distance between peopleD. people are not good at communicating in the country2. What are we sure about the old man?A. His name was Charlie.B. He worked at the center for senior citizens.C. He got sick over the weekend.D. He was in great sorrow when we saw him the next Monday.3. Which of the following is not true?A. The atmosphere on the bus was cheerful and lively at first.B. People were surprised at the old man’s first greeting.C. People were worried about the old man’s absence.D. People on the bus at last shared happiness and sorrow together.4. Which would be the best title for the passage？A. How to Shorten the Distance between PeopleB. Smiles Make a Bus Feel Like HomeC. Charlie, A Smiling Gentle ManD. The Key to Friendship — CommunicationBWant to find a job?

If you want to try for a job in Fairmont Hotel, you _________ .A. have to be a woman and know foreign languagesB. should be a university graduateC. have to be taller than 1.72 metersD. should be younger than 30 years oldCThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has clever ly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, indi vidual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one o f the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.8. People use iPlayer to __________.A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers9. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers10. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique11. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.A. portableB. environmentally friendlyC. advancedD. recyclable12. The writer suggests that __________.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last long第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。

Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting（收缩）and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point 50 ________ the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggested that the heart is able to influence 51 ___________ the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation. Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said, ―Our study show for the first time that the way 52 _____ ______ we deal with fear is different, depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart. The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces.

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 you have just read.(A)Here is one of the world‘s largest indoor ski-slopes. It covers an area of 22,500m2, about the same size as three football fields, and the temperature is a constant -1℃to -2℃. However, the strangest thing about this place is that it‘s in the middle of the desert! It‘s called Ski Dubai and the outside temperature s can riseto more than 40℃!It sounds crazy, but it just shows how serious people are about having fun. We spend huge sums on sports facilities. We pay our sports stars ridiculous amounts of money. And we spend hour after hour playing games! I wonder if all the sports - lovers and game - players in the world aren‘t a little crazy. I know I am. I was once driving past a football field where some kids were playing. I turned to watch and crashed my car. I know it‘s stupid but I can do nothing about it. As someone said, ―Football isn‘t a matter of li fe and death. It‘s much more important than that!‖Of course, it isn‘t that important really. No game is. But the problem is that games are addictive. From the tennis court to the golf course, you‘ll find participants and spectators who can‘t live without the drug of their choice. It could be a good thing. After all, despite being addictive, it‘s true that sports and games help us to relax. Maybe if it wasn‘t for sport, our societies would be more violent. Perhaps sport is a substitute for war? It‘s hard to think of a quieter, more peaceful game than chess, and what‘s the objective? Capturing your opponent‘s king, and surely, it‘s better to have wars in athletics stadiums rather than on battlefields.What‘s more, playing is natural. Kittens chase balls of w ool and puppies pretend to fight. Games help us perfect ours kills and prepare us for the serious contest of survival.But do all games help us relax and stay away from violence? What about computer games? A recent article in New Scientist suggest s that playing violent video games and most of them are extremely violent makes people more aggressive and more likely to commit violent crimes.Are these games a rehearsal for life or a substitute for life? Do we play instead of facing up to our real problems? I don‘t know. But what I do know is that I need a break, something to help me relax. Skiing would be nice. I wonder how much it costs to get to Dubai?82. According to the author, the most surprising thing about Ski Dubai is its _____.A. slopesB. sizeC. locationD. facilities83. The expression ―the drug of their choice‖ in the 3rd paragraph refers to _____.A. the game they are keen onB. the medicine they takeC. the activity good for healthD. the sport in place of war84. Which of the following statements does the author most probably agree with?A. Sports stars should be paid more to play well.B. Sports are more important than life and death.C. Chess is too peaceful to be considered a sport.D. Games can make one relaxed as well as violent.85. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage ?A. The relationship between games and crimes .B. Human natural craze for having fun with games.C. Serious concerns about time that is spent on games.D. Real problems facing game players in everyday life.Keys: C A D B（B）Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-education well off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individual and society, are profound.The world is facing as astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity 长寿translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.That even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management knowhow to creativity. Do not necessarily decline with age.86.what is happening in the workforce in rich countries?A. younger people are replacing the elderlyB. well-educated people tend to work longerC. unemployment rates are rising year after yearD. people with no college degree do not easily find work87.what do many observers predict in view of the experience of the 20th century?A. Economic growth will slow down.B. Government budgets will increase.C. More people will try to pursue higher educationD. There will be more competition in the job market.88.What is the result of policy changes in European countries?A. Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.B. more people have to receive in-service training.C. Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.D. People may be able to enjoy generous defined-benefits from pension?plans.89.What is characteristic of work in the 21st century?A. Computers will do more complicated work.B. More will be taken by the educated young.C. Most jobs to be done will be creative ones.D. Skills are highly valued regardless of age.Keys: B A C D（C）At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants' impact on the economy and the realityThere are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the strain that undocumented immigrants place on public services,like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what's going on, consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers –meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the?fiscal? 财政的burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants' access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected –say, low-skilled workers, or California residents –the impact isn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.90. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A .Whether immigrants are good or bad for the economy has been puzzling economists.B .The American economy used to thrive on immigration but now it's a different story.C .The consensus among economists is that immigration should not be encouraged.D .The general public thinks differently from most economists on the impact of immigration.91. In what way does the author think ordinary Americans benefit from immigration?A .They can access all kinds of public services.B .They can get consumer goods at lower prices.C .They can mix with people of different cultures.D .They can avoid doing much of the manual labor.92. What is the chief concern of native high-skilled, better-educated employees about the inflow of immigrants?A .It may change the existing social structure.B .It may pose a threat to their economic status.C .It may lead to social instability in the country.D .It may place a great strain on the state budget.93. What is the irony about the debate over immigration?A .Even economists can't reach a consensus about its impact.B .Those who are opposed to it turn out to benefit most from it.C .People are making too big a fuss about something of small impact.D .There is no essential difference between seemingly opposite opinions.Keys: D B D ASection CDirections: Read the following passage carefully. In the passage there are four sentences missing. Choose the best one from the six sentences.ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.____1____ Try the following steps:Calm yourself. ____2____ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.____4____ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.Don't forget to forgive yourself. ____5____ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from your offender's angle.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G. Keys: B F D ESection DBased on the following passage and write a summaryFinancial setbacks in the form of pay cuts are having a trickle-down effect(涓滴效应) as the depression persists. Families across America are cutting or even axing kids‘ allowance (零用钱) to reflect what‘s going on with household finances and the economy as a whole .Some jobless parents are doing it out of necessity .Other parents are using allowance adjustments to teach children about economic realities and how to budget in leaner times.―Try to use relevant news to explain the reasons behind the depression and how it‘s hitting home. If they see it obvious in their own allowance, they‘ll feel the impact and see how it all ties in, ‖says financial consultant Antwone Harris.Any reduction in allowance should be understood in age-appropriate communication, says Dr. Tony。

AThe Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the rings appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.In the 1950s, the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics.Japan is an Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet.Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps.

It was the worst typhoon to hit Hong Kong in ten years.It began to rain in the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971. At ten o’clock in the morning, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away but already the wind was blowing people’s umbrella away. The wind became stronger and stronger. The typhoon shelters (避风港) were soon full of boats. Ships that were too big to go inside the shelters put down more anchors (锚). Some very big ships went out to sea. It is safer for a big ship to be at sea in a typhoon because it cannot be blown onto rocks. Kai Tak Airport closed. No planes were able to take off or land. At 9:00 in the evening, all the lights went out.No one slept well that night. It is difficult to sleep in such bad weather.In Typhoon Rose, more than one hundred people died. 229 people were hurt and 66 of these had to go to hospital. 1500 lost their homes. The people of Hong Kong will not quickly forget Typhoon Rose!6. What’s true according to the passage?A. Typhoons all over the world have girls’ names.B.

He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year.Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys thatthrew stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告) made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.11. It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to ________.A. build glass-houses in his free timeB. grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cupC.win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new colorD. grow a rose with the longest name12. Boys were often tempted to ________.A. throw stones at Mr. Flowers’ glass-houseB. throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their schoolC. be in or near by Mr. Flowers’ glass-housesD. play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses13.

In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like th is when we retire.” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”．Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look­see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish.” says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die.” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”74. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. The news from the Web.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. His health problem.75. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Write books for childrenC. Do something similar..D. Retire from being a teacher.76. According to the text, Dolly Parton is ________.A. a well-known surgeonB. a singer born in TennesseeC. a mother of a four-year-oldD. a computer programmer77. What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?A. He considers his efforts worthwhile.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He needs more money to help the children.(B)（London）—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.78. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.79. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside80. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.81. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fatSection C 4%Direction:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind --- football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer the hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obvious team work.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts. and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)82. Mountain climbing involves _________________________________.83. The difference between a sport and a game mainly lies in _________________.84. Why can mountaineering be called a team sport?________________________________________________________________________85.

Thailand, known as the “land of smiles” because of the expression its natural beautyand friendly people inspire, is a country where we believe the economic prospects could give investors reasons to smile too.Unlike other Southeast Asian nations, Thailand (known as Siam until 1939) ___42___ to escape European colonial rule. That doesn’t mean Thailand has escaped Western influence, or internal conflict. Protests and periods of military rule have caused social and economic disturbance throughout its history, and political leaders today have ___43___ to negotiate with opposing forces and reform the constitution.Thailand has endured other ___44___, too, such as the financial crisis in the late 1990s, a tsunami which struck in 2004 and disastrous floods in 2011. All of these events caused serious economic setbacks, but Thailand has been skillful at battling back from hardship.An example of this fighting spirit was on full ___45___ when Thailand’s GDP growth sank in 2011 to a mere 0.1% in the wake of flooding there, but then quickly recovered.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirection: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Too much eye contact is instinctively felt to be rude, and in a business context, it may also be regarded as a deliberate intention to make “the other” feel at a disadvantage. So unless you have inmind doing one of those things, it’s better to ___51___ too much eye contact.Too little, ___52___, can make you appear uneasy, unprepared, and insincere. In its analysis of patients’ ___53___, for example, one large county hospital found, that 9-out-of-10 letters included mention of poor doctor-patient eye contact, a failure which was generally interpreted as “___54___ of caring.”“Just the right” amount of eye contact –the amount that produces a feeling of mutual ___55___ and trustworthiness – will vary with situations, settings, personality types, gender and cultural differences. As a general rule, though, direct eye contact ranging from 30% to 60% of the time during a conversation – more when you are listening, less when you are ___56___ – should make for a comfortable productive atmosphere.And did you know these other facts about eye contact?• We reduce eye contact when we are talking about something shameful or ___57___, when we are sad or depressed, and when we are accessing internal thoughts or emotions.• We increase eye contact when dealing with people we like, ___58___, or who have power over us.

While some liars (most often, children) find it difficult to lie while looking ___62___ at you, many liars actually try to “prove” that they are not lying by making too much eye contact and holdi ng it too long.Eye contact is so powerful a force because it is connected with humans’ earliest ___63___ patterns. Children who could attract and maintain eye contact, and therefore increase ___64___, had the best chance of being fed and cared for.

For each of them in passage A, B and C, there are four 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.(A)English is a fun language, and even though it’s considered an accessible and relatively easy one to learn, with 750,000 words and spelling that can throw off even the most skilled learner, learning English fast can seem impossible. Take the following tips on how to learn English faster as your starting point and you’ll master this wonderful langua ge in no time!TIP 1. ______Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, your social media feed: if it’s in English, read it. Why? Well, this content will be full of juicy new vocabulary, as well as a fair amount you already know. This helps you improve quickly, as repeated exposure to learned vocabulary gives you new examples in context, therefore reinforcing those words in your mind.On the other hand, learning new words and expressions is essential to building your vocabulary, particularly in a language like English with so many words!TIP 2. ACTIVELY TAKE NOTE OF NEW VOCABULARYThis tip is a classic one for good reason: it works! When learning, we often enjoy a new word or phrase so much that forgetting it seems impossible. But trust us, not everything sticks the first time. To fight this, get into the habit of carrying around a notebook. Whenever you hear or read a new word or expression, write it down in context: that is, in a sentence and with its meaning noted. This saves you time a s you won’t return to that word and ask yourself: “What did that word/expression mean again?”TIP 3. TALK WITH REAL LIVE HUMANSWhat is a language for if not to communicate? It’s true that speaking a language helps it stick in your head far better than onl y reading or writing it. Just think of how many times you’ve heard people say that they “understand, but can’t speak English.” A lot of would-be English speakers have turned talking into a huge obstacle that only serves to psyche them out. Don’t be like th at. Seek out native speakers for an informal language exchange, enroll in a course, or take classes online.TIP 4. SUBSCRIBE TO PODCASTS (IN ENGLISH)Like humor? Politics? Blogging? Cooking? With topics covering every interest imaginable, there are English-speaking podcasts out there for you. Subscribe to a few and listen or watch while going to school or work. At first, you might find the native accents difficult, but stick with it and you’ll soon start to understand what you hear (as well as learning lots of new vocabulary from a native speaker!)66.Which of the following is the best heading for TIP 1?A. START WITH READING WHAT YOU REALL Y NEEDB. USE CONTEXTUAL CLUES TO BUILD YOUR VOCABULARYC. READ ALL THE PRINTED MA TERIALS YOU CAN BUYD. READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON67.The phrase “psyche them out” is closest in meaning to “______”.A. make them discouragedB. cause them troubleC. relieve their stressD. affect their fluency68.Which strategy of learning new words and expressions is NOT mentioned?A. Reading English materials.B. Noting them down in context.C. Talking with native speakers. C. Listening to English podcasts.69.According to the passage, listening to English-speaking Podcasts ______.A. enables you to like humor, politics, blogging and cooking.B. is allowed at school or at work and they can be customizedC. gets you to be gradually familiar with the native accentsD. helps you to overcome the difficulty of learning new words(B)70.This page is intended for those who ______.A. want to visit New England AquariumB. are interested in marine creaturesC. would like to take the MBTA Blue LineD. want to protect our blue planet71.If a visitor would like to enter the New England Aquarium at 5:30 p.m., he can visit it on______.A.

One can choose the entry time in advance at the Box Office.B. Group visits need to be reserved over the phone.C. Unlimited free admission for a year only applies to members.D. The Aquarium is state-owned and supported by admission fees.(C)Spelling bees have always been cute. But they’re about to get cuter, because now they will actually be about something. The National Spelling Bee has announced that hereafter, contestants will have to know the definitions of words as well as how to write them out. The latter is cruel mechanics, which only became a thing to master and compete in because of English’s awkward and random spelling system. In countries where writing actually corresponds regularly with how words are pronounced, there is no such thing as a spelling bee.Yet in those countries, there is often more of a love for the language itself, even among less educated people. And loving your language means a command of its vocabulary beyond the level of the everyday. This appreciation shows up in things they say that would not “translate” into American. A Russian friend of mine once said she fell in love with her husband because of “his Russian.” Note how hard it is to imagine an American woman saying what hooked her on her husband was “his English.” “The way he talked,” maybe, but not something as specific as his command of the language in an artistic sense.I recently attended a conference where Castilians（西班牙王室）gave the opening addresses, in a distinctly formal layer of Spanish. In English this would have sounded extremely boring even at a university. You can buy volumes of high literature and poetry at an ordinary train station in Spain. At Long Island railroad stops in America, not.Yet even in America, there was once a richer love of English for its own sake. H.L. Mencken knocked Warren Harding for “the worst English that I have ever encountered.” Today we have knocked George W. Bush for “the way he talks” but not something as formal as “his English.”Today we live in a society where in 2001, then President of the University of California Richard Atkinson got good press with his announced horror that high school students “spend hours each month —directly and indirectly —preparing for the SAT, studying long lists of verbal analogies（类比）su ch as ‘untruthful is to mendaciousness’ as ‘circumspect is to caution’.” In the old days, that was called, well, school.Currently, America’s love for language focuses on the informal. Rap and spoken word have reawakened the country to poetry in itself. Texting and Twitter encourage creative uses of casual language, in ways I have celebrated widely. But we’ve fallen behind on enjoying the formal layer of our language. Critics such as Stefan Fatsis have argued that adding a comprehension component to the spe lling bee is, ironically, “small-minded.” It isn’t. It’s getting back in touch with loving our native language, something ordinary in most cultures on earth—but so long unknown to us that the Fatsises and Atkinsons among us can barely imagine it.74.Writing out a word in a spelling bee is difficult because ______.A. it is a thing to master and compete inB. people do not feel it cute any moreC. there is no spelling bee in other countriesD. English spelling system is random75.We can safely conclude from paragraph 2 and 3 that ______.A. less educated people in other countries like the language itselfB. American people don’t appreciate English in its formal formC. an American woman will be easily attracted to a man’s way of talkingD. a formal layer of English can only be found at an American university76.It is implied in Paragraph 5 that ______A. the public felt the same horror as Richard Atkinson didB. SAT didn’t need so much attention from the studentsC. high school students should go to school to prepare SATD. verbal analogies should have been taught in the old days77.According to the author, Americans need spelling bees and vocabulary tests because ______A. they need to avoid being small-mindedB. Rap and spoken words are not artistic enoughC. Fatsises and Atkinsons can barely imagine itD. they need to focus more on formal EnglishIV.
