Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma(毕业文凭) represents a Harvard degree or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to an utter deception(欺骗) like this to land their first jobs or to move ahead in their careers.For personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars(注册主任) at most well-known colleges say that they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school refers to them as “special cases”. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says these claims are made by “no such people”． To avoid complete lies, some job seekers claim that they “attended” or “were associated with” a college or university.After careful checking, a personnel officer may discover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester.It may be that “being associated with”a college means that the job seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of non-existent colleges.The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University”．The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”．As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper. 31．The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________． A．college degrees can now be purchased easily B．nowadays it is very hard for people to find jobs C．lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problem D．employers are no longer interested in applicants' actual performances 32．The underlined word “utter” in the second paragraph means ________． A．thorough B．careful C．incomplete D．spoken 33．Once finding applicants with false diplomas, most colleges would ________． A．keep the records of them B．drive them out of college C．avoid direct conflicts with them D．accuse them of such behavior 34．We can learn from the passage that ________． A．US employers value their job applicants with a degree from top universities B．University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same school C．people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in the US easily D．people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different universities Ⅳ.完成句子 35．Rescuers ________________________ the safety of the children trapped in the dangerous building when the earthquake happened. (concern) 地震发生的时候，救援人员担心被困在危险建筑物里面的孩子们。 36．It is the first time that the actor and singer ________________ on the cover of the magazine Times.

When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived.Each family had their own campsite with water and electric，and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional week-long stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.
We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends，and we'd hold hands as we walked around the campground. We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and sing songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you're a teen—a three-week relationship is a really long time. So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common…They'd all received the Evil Eye. The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess_with me.It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光) beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains. “You will not put your hands on my daughter…You will not kiss my daughter…You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter's ear.” I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick “See you later.” Yes, that's the Evil Eye: best way ever to keep wandering teen boys' hands away from your daughter. 11．The Evil Eye in the passage implies that ________． A．Dad gets angry easily B．Dad's eyes are evil C．Dad's eyes are ugly-looking D．Dad's eyes are protective to his daughter 12．The underlined words “mess with” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean “________”． A．cause trouble for B．make untidy C．get married to D．talk to 13．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．As teenagers, we went camping every weekend. B．We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping. C．We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves. D．The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved the Evil Eye. 14．It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________． A．is a teenage girl who loves her father B．is a teenage boy who hates his father C．is now an adult who has come to understand her father's love D．used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then B If women are mercilessly exploited year after year，they have only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion，they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.When you come to think of it，only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.Women who can not afford to throw away clothing in this way waste hours of their time altering(改变) the dresses they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised，and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth，comfort and durability.They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort，as long as they look right.There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day，or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion，the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability？Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide. 15．Designers and big stores always make money ________． A．by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing B．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry C．because they are able to predict new fashions for the coming season D．because they attach great importance to the quality of women's clothing 16．To the writer，that women alter their old fashioned dresses is seen as ________． A．a waste of money B．an expression of taste C．a waste of time D．an expression of creativity 17．According to the passage，which of the following statements is true? A．The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society. B．The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of characters. C．Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women. D．New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women. 18．By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”，the writer means that ________． A．women are better able to put up with discomfort B．men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion C．men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D．women's inconstancy in their choices of clothing is often laughed at Ⅲ.完成句子 19．I think in English study it is your attitude, not your teachers ____________ the key role. (play) 我认为在学英语过程中起关键作用的不是老师，而是你的态度。 20．She had requested that the door to her room ________________. (leave) 她要求不要关闭通向她房间的门。 21．The number of foreigners learning Chinese in China ________________________ nowadays. (increase) 现在在中国学习汉语的外国人的数量在逐渐增加。 22．Hardly ____________________ at the first sight because we haven't seen for a long time. (recognize) 因为我们很长时间没有见面了，所以我第一眼几乎没能认出她。 23．The moment ____________________________ at the meeting, it attracted many people's attention.

(leave) 老板命令他的员工们天黑之前不能离开办公室。 26．____________________ water resources properly and protect natural environment has been universally concerned. (make) 如何合理地利用水资源和保护自然环境已经引起了全球关注。 27．With ______________________________ English every day, we can see that it will be more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.

US citizens are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as near 10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under, where China's thirst for iron ore(矿石) and energy is transforming the Pacific nation into an economic powerhouse. A bricklaying student from Silver Trowel, a leading provider of quality education and training in the building and construction industry, was apprenticed(当学徒) on a building project in Western Australia, where workers are in short supply. Daniel Davila，a 23-year-old floorer from Camarillo, California made the 14-hour move across the Pacific two years ago. He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work fixing floors. On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars( US $50.21 ) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the US. He plans to start his own flooring business. “I can make what I did in a week in the US in less than a day here”，said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia. Australian government figures show just under 7，000 Americans currently work on long-term visas, an 80% jump over the past five years.US citizens are now the third-largest group applying for so-called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers，can obtain a nonrenewable(不可更新的) permit for as much as a three-year stay.After that, they can apply for the renewable 457, which allows up to a four-year stay. The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia.The mining state's unemployment rate was 4.5% in November, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six-figure salaries while experienced crane(起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the US and Europe, according to migration data. 31．________， a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia. A．As a result of the encouragement of Australia B．As a result of high unemployment in the US C．Out of their ambition of finding valuable resources D．Out of their determination to realize their dreams 32．It can be inferred from the passage that 457 work visas are ________． A．for skilled workers in some fields B．for students on the building project C．especially for American workers D．especially for those out of work 33．It is implied in the passage that ________． A．foreigners have to give up their original professional jobs when working in Australia B．it is possible for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countries C．there are more US citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries D．Australians think it fair to exchange their talent with American skilled workers 34．Which part of Australia needs workers particularly? A．North-western Australia. B．Eastern Australia. C．South-eastern Australia. D．Western Australia. Ⅳ.完成句子 35．I graduated from university twenty years ago and ____________________ ever since.

After breakfast Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone.I'll take care of the dishes！” With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off_came_the_suit_coat_he_had_worn_to_church_that_morning._Up_went_the_shirtsleeves._On_went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder”？
I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—but I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together.“Tommy”， he said，“There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities．” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？”I started to say something about a man's job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears. I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Let's go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to. People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.” With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder. 11．What is the main purpose of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph? A．To show the unwillingness of his father when doing dishes. B．To instruct the main steps of how his father does dishes. C．To emphasize his father's clumsy way of doing dishes. D．To stress the enjoyment and happiness of his father's doing dishes. 12．What does the underlined word “responsibilities” in the second paragraph refer to? A．Taking care of the brothers. B．Making progress academically. C．Doing all the dishes. D．Washing the apron with race cars. 13．What did the author mean by saying “People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son” in the fourth paragraph? A．Mind acts upon mind. B．Like father like son. C．A child is better unborn than untaught. D．Obedience is the first duty of a boy. 14．How did the author feel at the end of the passage? A．Proud. B．Enjoyable. C．Surprised. D．Regretful. B All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. … Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources(revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse(细读). Tokyo's National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1，236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals. A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person. The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books—an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop. 15．The best title for this passage would be “________”． A．Three Benefits of Libraries B．Libraries Going Digital C．Space-saving E-learning D．Security of Electronic Reading 16．Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?

Europe, on the whole, has the world's most restrictive laws on animal experiments. Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research.Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year.But that is misleading.The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher.Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America. Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs.Alternatives to animal testing, such as using human tissue or computer models, are now strongly recommended.In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested, the work never sees the light of day.This practice means wasting time, money, and animals' lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments. Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives.It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer.Europe' s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted. 11．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The success of animal experiments should be ensured. B．Ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced. C．Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals. D．Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other. 12．Which of the following statements is true about animals used in the lab? A．America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year. B．Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all. C．Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does. D．Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year. 13．Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments? A．Statistical studies. B．Computer models. C．DNA planted in animals. D．Tissue from dead animals. 14．What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments? A．They are not revealed to the public. B．They are made into teaching materials. C．They are collected for future publication. D．They are not removed from the research topic list. Ⅲ.完成句子 15．He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we ________________________.

A severe heatwave sweeping India, with temperatures of almost 44℃， the highest in 52 years, has killed at least 80 people this month, officials said on Sunday. The hot weather, which officials said would continue over northern, northwestern and central India in the next 48 hours, also may have some impact on wheat production, exporters and flour-mill associations said. New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.7 ℃ on Saturday, indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India.The highest temperature in the past 24 hours was 47℃ at Ganganagar city, in Rajasthan state.Summer temperatures have been 4℃～6℃ above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March, weather officials said. In the eastern state of Orissa, authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday, advancing the annual summer holiday.Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53 deaths from various parts of the state. “District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths”， Bhimsen Gochhayat, a government official said. Other deaths were reported from northern state of Uttar Pradesh and central Madhya Pradesh states. India is expected to produce about 82 million tons of wheat in 2009～2010, but there could be a shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons due to the heatwave, said Veena Sharma, Secretary General of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India. “Most of the harvesting is over, but there definitely will be a slight shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons due to the extreme weather conditions”，she told Reuters. India is relying on an abundant wheat crop to make up for a 14.2% drop in rice output, the major summer-sown grain, marred by the worst monsoon(季风) in 37 years last year. Weather officials said with summer temperatures in India set to remain above average, there were hopes of heavy rain at the start of the monsoon that would help early sowing of rice, soybeans and lentils. 31．The purpose of the passage is ________． A．to tell a piece of news of a heatwave B．to record the highest temperature in India C．to report the deaths in the heatwave D．to inform people of a drop of rice output 32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

D．India has a good harvest of wheat while the rice output is decreasing. 33．The underlined word “marred” in the last paragraph probably means “________”． A．dropped B．damaged C．blown D．followed 34．What is the main idea of the passage? A．A severe heatwave would continue over India. B．At least 80% people were killed in the disaster this month. C．A severe heatwave swept India with a great loss. D．A slight shortage of 1 million—1.5 million tons of wheat is due to the heatwave. Ⅳ.完成句子 35．The child was told to remain ____________________ so that he could be found easily.

There are currently 791 pupils on the school roll(名单). The school has a long and distinguished history, and it is also one of the oldest charities in the country, providing scholarships to pupils and organizing a Charity of the Term. The curriculum(课程) at King's is based on strong academic roots. It emphasizes and relies upon what is best in traditional independent school education: scholarly excellence supported by a caring and tutorial system, and a wide-ranging co-curricular programme. However, it is continually adapting and reacting to the changing demands of modern education: new subjects are added, new teaching techniques are adopted, and there is an increasing awareness of the need to provide programmes of study that match individual needs and skills. The curriculum is divided into three units: the Lower School(Year 9 ), an introductory year; the Middle School(Years 10 and 11 ), working to GCSEs; and the Sixth Form(Years 12 and 13), taking AS and A levels. Full details can be found in: Shell Guide and Handbook; Middle School Academic Guide 2009—2011; Middle School Academic Guide 2010—2012; Sixth Form Guide 2009—2011 and Sixth Form Guide 2010—2012. Formal and structured educational support, for those who need it, is available at all levels. The well-stocked library is open 7 days and 6 evenings per week. ICT facilities (including the Internet) are available for all and the whole school(studies within the houses as well as classrooms) is extensively networked. Pupils are offered extensive career advice throughout their time at King's. Almost all go to university, either immediately or following a GAP year. The most popular university destinations are Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Durham, Leeds, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, and University College, London.

People living in the US Midwest might find a fact hard to believe, though. The scientists suggest that the change in the Midwest climate may have happened because of farming. The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist(气候学家) at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.Changnon and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the Midwest. They found that since 1970, the average temperature in the region during July and August has gone down—by up to one degree Fahrenheit(华氏度)—from what it was during the years between 1930 and 1969. Their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. Between 1970 and 2009, about 0.33 inch more rain fell than between 1930 and 1969.These_changes may be connected by humidity(湿度), Changnon says. Humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air. Humid air, which contains a lot of moisture，takes longer to heat up than dry air, Changnon notes. And humid air often releases its moisture through rainfall. So where did the extra moisture in the air come from？Changnon points to farms in the region. As plants grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. And among plants, soybeans (大豆) and corn plants release a lot of moisture. Midwestern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. In the 1930s, corn and soybeans covered only about 57 percent, Changnon says. He also notes that the plants are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there are more plants per acre than in the past. The second study, like Changnon's, also found an increase in rainfall in the same area. But it points to another possible source for the increased moisture. Alan Robock at Rutgers University was part of the team that produced the second study and presented the group's findings. The team found that irrigation practices in the Great Plains have changed over the years. The researchers studied a vast area in the region. They found that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland. In 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres. Plants use the water and then release it into the air. These results by Changnon and Robock and their colleagues are the first step toward understanding a change in the weather. 15．What does the underlined term “These changes” refer to? A．Lower temperatures and more rainfall. B．Higher temperatures and higher humidity. C．Making a record both in the past and now. D．The two periods of the 40-year investigation. 16．Which of the following could be the possible sources for the increased moisture in the US Midwest? A．Scientists' research and farmers' attention. B．Less farmland and more plants. C．More plants and irrigation practices. D．Natural reservoirs and underground rivers. 17．The studies show that in America's Midwest，________． A．the average temperature is getting higher and higher B．more and more farmland has been deserted C．the amount of rain is closely related to the temperature D．summers are now cooler and wetter than they were in years past 18．According to the passage, irrigating more and more plants means ________． A．making more space for farms and buildings B．making more and more water into the air, and thus causing more rain C．more farms depending on water-saving systems D．using plants to change the climate Ⅲ.完成句子 19．An order came that all the vehicles having seven or fewer seats __________________________________________ on the highway during the eight-day holiday.

You roll over, smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate. And then, your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare(噩梦) when someone is screaming, “Get up！” It's just what every teenager goes through each morning! Now, there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school. Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising. Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy,_even hardly any lateness, and best of all, higher test scores. One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep. The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late. While adults are wide awake and ready at 8 am, teenagers are not fully awake until 10 am, sometimes even noon. Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning, but in fact, it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy, making the students easier to control.Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake. The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change. 31．What's the meaning of the underlined word “truancy”？ A．Grades. B．Classes. C．Absence. D．Practice. 32．What can we learn from the passage? A．Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle. B．Teenagers are fully awake at 10 am as a whole. C．Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study. D．Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason. 33．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．Monkseaton High School is satisfied with the result of the experiment. B．It is very cruel for the teenagers to show up in class at 9 am every day. C．Monkseaton High School plans to change the school time forever. D．In fact, teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon. 34．What's the best title for this passage? A．Get up early, teenagers! B．Finally, a school understands teenagers C．Why do teenagers stay up late? D．Differences between teens and adults Ⅳ.完成句子 35．Scientists ____________________ the cure for AIDS for the last 20 years.

It's been over a decade since this mom entrepreneur(企业家) began making cakes out of her family's kitchen. During that time, she has managed to grow Magical Moments & Elite Party Rentals into a well-developed wedding planning and rental operation. Statistics show that these kinds of mommy-owned businesses are on the rise. Many women say they can't find work that allows them to balance their responsibilities at home. Indeed, according to a national study conducted by IpsosReid on behalf of Microsoft Canada, fifty-four percent of female small business owners agree that being able to work at home to raise their family is a key reason to leave the corporate world behind. “Being a mom entrepreneur means trading a typical 9-to-5 work week for a more irregular routine”，says Gemma Moore, a busy mother of two who owns and operates MG Moore Designs, a design company specializing in website, photography and print media.“Finding a business that you can build in the evenings will allow you to spend time with your children during the day and continue your business after they go to school.” Ninety-two percent of female small business owners say that mobile equipment and computer software can help a mom entrepreneur make her own hours and work whenever she is most productive. In fact, ninety-five percent agree that small business owners need to be_more_technology-savvy than ever before. The more technology they master, the more successfully they will run their businesses. “Balance is a key aspect for most entrepreneurs, but this is especially true for women”， says Ruth Bastedo, President of Women Entrepreneurs of Canada(WEC). “Entrepreneurs recognize that today's technology can help them to find work/life balance while still providing them with the tools and materials they need to grow their businesses more effectively.” 11．Many female employees left their corporate jobs in order to________． A．master more and more technology B．support their family in a better way C．look after their children more carefully D．carry out their responsibilities as housewives 12．What can we know about Gemma Moore from the passage? A．She has two companies of her own. B．She was once doing trade business. C．She does not work in the daytime. D．She can arrange her time more properly. 13．The underlined part “be more technology-savvy”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “________”． A．save more hours for technology B．spend less money on technology C．have a better knowledge of technology D．find a better balance in the technical field 14．The passage mainly tells us that ________． A．most women can hardly find suitable work B．new technology can help women to find work C．Karl Smith has started her own business at home D．mommy-owned businesses can balance work and life B There are four types of persons who go to work part-time. These include retirees who want a bit more income or socialization, parents who want to spend more time with their children, college and high school students and temporary agency workers who want more experience. Many people enjoy the advantages of working part-time, but benefits are rarely offered to part-time employees. Most people are hoping for health insurance and retirement benefits when taking a job. Traditionally, companies only offer benefits to employees who work 30 hours or more a week. This is only a 25% reduction in hours, so it doesn't free up a lot of time for the employee who needs part-time hours. Even when a part-timer is offered health benefits, he is rarely offered paid time off and retirement benefits. Dental benefits are almost never offered to part-time employees. Many businesses hire part-time employees for the simple reason of saving money. If they work less than a certain number of hours, the employers don't need to pay for benefits. There are companies, however, that are beginning to offer benefits to part-time employees. This includes benefits for health, paid time off and retirement plans. Some companies have begun to offer this in order to take in high quality, trained professionals who just want part-time hours. If a company wants a qualified employee, it will have to compete with other companies. People who may only want to work part-time may be forced to take a full-time job to get the benefits. Companies who offer benefits to part-timers have an advantage by offering more choices to their employees in terms of hours. Conducting an Internet search is probably the quickest way to find companies that provide benefits for part-time employees. Many large corporations like Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods offer benefits to part-time employees among other things. Look for companies that offer a team approach to their employees. Employees are given choices and part of decision-making in the business. Businesses that allow employee input are more likely to offer benefits to part-timers. 15．People prefer to work part-time mainly because they ________． A．don't want to spend more time on work B．have so many household and social affairs C．hope to have more money, time and experience D．only expect to make more friends 16．From the second paragraph we can learn that part-timers ________． A．can enjoy as many benefits as full-timers B．prefer retirement benefits to health insurance C．often retire without enjoying any benefit D．often enjoy fewer benefits than full-timers 17．What's the advantage of hiring part-time employees? A．They don't need the insurance. B．They can save employers some money. C．They have no choice but to work hard. D．They can also be changed into full-timers. 18．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________． A．it's easy to find companies providing benefits B．companies not allowing employees input don't offer any benefit to part-timers C．Starbucks in England doesn't provide benefits to full-timers D．employees are often forced to choose their jobs Ⅲ.完成句子 19．I really appreciate ____________________________ such a good opportunity.

It helps a preschooler(学龄前儿童)： Develop social skills
As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy(同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate. Build self-confidence Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers(摩天大楼) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential. Boost intellectual growth Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king's castle in a mound(堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on. Practice language skills Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills. Work out fears Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role-play about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent(发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling(兄弟姐妹)． To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own. For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures.Reader's Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books—Bambi and Pinocchio. 11．What's NOT the advantage of children having a good imagination?

D．Helping them form a good habit of reading stories. 12．What does the underlined word “Boost” mean? A．Improve. B．Limit. C．Push.

Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allow them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child's life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature. 31．In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by________． A．giving an example B．explaining his opinions C．describing the poor education system D．coming straight to the topic 32．What can we learn from the passage? A．Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl. B．Robinson is a successful expert in population studies. C．Robinson is worried about the population growth. D．Robinson encourages female education. 33．What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education? A．It provides basic knowledge of health. B．It reduces aging population. C．It makes people pay more attention to education. D．It can change people's parenting ideas. 34．According to the passage，one of the most important ways to control high population growth is to________． A．let girls go away from Africa B．keep girls in school C．let young girls remain single D．keep girls in families Ⅳ.完成句子 35．________________________________________________________________________ by her students，the new girl teacher seemed very embarrassed with her face red.(trick) 受到同学们的捉弄后，这个新来的女教师似乎尴尬得脸都红了。 36．The officers came to an understanding ______________ Christmas in peace until midnight.(celebrate) 军官们一致认为我们将和平地度过圣诞节直到午夜时分。 37．Realizing what she had done was wrong, she ______________________________________.

On average, white-collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white-collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work. Buried with e-mails Every morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e-mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails.For her, even scanning through these e-mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky—they have to read at least 100. Bothered with calls
Telephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white-collar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to e-mails, but phone calls are also more distracting(分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone. Solution? Not yet Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(小装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e-mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e-mail management. Yet most white-collar workers think their companies can do more. 11．What does the new survey find about white-collar workers? A．They spend 51 percent of their work time on meetings. B．Only half of the information they receive is useful. C．Over 60 percent of them prefer to use the telephone. D．Some of them have to read at least 100 e-mails every day. 12．Telephone calls cause a problem because ________． A．they take up the time to receive and send e-mails B．they are often not answered C．they are mostly not about business D．they may lead to change of work schedule 13．How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload? A．They start to give staff a pay rise. B．They plan to employ more people. C．They provide employees with more advanced equipment. D．They organize lectures on how to reduce stress. 14．What is the major issue discussed in this text? A．Poor management leads to inefficiency at work. B．Junk mail is causing big trouble. C．White-collar workers suffer from information overload. D．Better computers are in need in workplaces. B Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently—animals. That's right, animals. Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters(缰绳) and tried to escape.Chickens refused to enter their cage. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives. One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It's not an easy job. First of all, not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure. The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It's also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”．A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers, saying that his cougar had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach. A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of the earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes. A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes.(Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quakes that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing. In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning.Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists. 15．Through the passage the writer hopes to explore ________． A．why animals send a danger signal before an earthquake B．how animals know when an earthquake is coming C．why animals not humans have a good sense of danger D．how much animals know about an earthquake 16．During an earthquake in China in 1975 ________． A．chickens refused to go out of their cage B．snakes were frozen to death in their caves C．snakes awoke from their winter sleep earlier D．cows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds 17．Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage? A．An Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure. B．A cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly. C．An Australian horse was perfectly calm. D．A cat acted very strangely in a zoo. 18．The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to ________． A．find out that the machine could record unusual happenings B．compare the reactions of animals with those of humans C．prove that animals could sense more than humans D．find out what exact warnings animals send Ⅲ.完成句子 19．My husband __________________________.

Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or people's constant voices, it was the happening repeatedly nightmare(噩梦) that caused him to stay awake, to fear sleep. Donald was back in his small house. He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window. Yet he couldn't turn out the fearful whimpers(呜咽声) of his little dog, or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door, unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.
Donald didn't want his mother to be upset, but on some level，he was glad to hear she was awake. It meant he wasn't alone in the dark. Though he was 12, until recently it was impossible for Donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side. Suddenly there was a crash. Their living room window is shattered(打碎) by 125-mile-an-hour winds. Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed. He did his best to calm his mother, and she to comfort him. Soon water was seeping(渗透) into the single-floor house.Quickly it rose from ankle level to leg level. At Donald's insistence, they pushed their way through the water—now chest high—toward the front door. When they fought their way into the living room, water rose to their chins. It was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat. In a total panic, desperate to hold on to something, Troy caught a curtain rod(杆). She's breathing hard, shouting that she couldn't swim. Donald called out，“Mom! Hold on！” Just then Donald also caught a floating wood board. 31．The passage is mainly about ________． A．how a storm happened and caused damage B．how a mother and son experienced a storm C．how a mother and son survived a storm D．how a son helped his mother in a storm 32．Which of the following is mentioned in the story?

He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago. Today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. But he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge. Mr Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ. He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania，after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. He decided to make toys. They understood that American society was about to change. The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning. There would be a huge demand for children's toys. One day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm. Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm. Milton Levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. The top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill(风车)．Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and above-ground areas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways. The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold. Through the years the toys continued to attract ant-watchers. People buy Uncle Milton Ant Farms from stores and order from websites. During his life, Mr Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies. The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. For example, people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong. Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are. A writer remembers owning an Uncle Milton Ant Farm when he was about five years old.He says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants. 11．Which of the following words can best describe Milton Levine? A．Strong. B．Creative. C．Loyal. D．Humorous. 12．________ may be studied in the science of entomology. A．Roses B．Butterflies C．Tigers D．Sharks 13．Milton Levine got his idea from the following EXCEPT ________． A．a business newsletter B．the Baby Boom C．ants parading D．a farmhouse 14．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．How to care for the ants. B．Ants are strong and diligent. C．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is more than a toy. D．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is very popular. B At a physics conference dinner with my husband Alex, I sat next to a man I'll call Clayton. Clayton kept talking about himself all through the entire conversation: he had solved problems no one else could; only his views were right; other researchers' work was inaccurate or unimportant. I could not put in a word. Extremely annoyed, I planned to avoid Clayton in that future. In fact, I decided never to have another conversation with him. A few days later I was in an education class. Our professor explained how one child could become the target of the other students' ridicule(讥笑)． “Usually it's because the class sees their own weaknesses glaringly magnified(放大) in that student. They don't want to admit they have the same weakness, so they ridicule and exclude the student. The behavior of both the class and the excluded student is caused by personal insecurity.” As I took notes, suddenly I thought of Clayton. It struck me that I have many of the same faults. How easily I rule a conversation and leave others out. I, too, sometimes feel that only my opinion is right. My concerns or work easily seems most important. As my professor had described, I reacted negatively to someone in whom I experienced my own weakness. I changed my mind. Instead of avoiding Clayton, I'll try to listen patiently with the same kindness and acceptance that I need. 15．The writer was extremely annoyed with Clayton partly because ________． A．he said not all his views were right B．he wouldn't let her put in a word C．he kept silent all through the dinner D．he was too particular about the food 16．Who said the words in Paragraph 3? A．Clayton. B．The writer's husband. C．The writer. D．The writer's professor. 17．The fourth paragraph was written to show ________． A．why the writer changed her mind B．how the writer was annoyed C．when the writer had her education D．what weakness the writer had 18．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________． A．the writer will see other people more positively B．Clayton will not rule a conversation any longer C．the writer will try to avoid talking with Clayton D．Clayton will find out he has his own weakness Ⅲ.完成句子 19．Those reports included one case, ________________________________ and destroyed two cars, although there were no injuries.

Some unusual words describe how a person spends his or her time. For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television. Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato” in 1976. Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the United States government. Mr Armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a full-time television watcher. It is called the Official Couch Potato Handbook. Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers. A computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer, or cursor on a computer screen. The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993. American writer Alice Kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers. Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever. A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city. People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time. Cabin fever is not really a disease. However, people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes. This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside. Often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play. So do their parents. This happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed. Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live. This is called nesting or cocooning. Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds. Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change. Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife. So people like the idea of nests and cocoons, too. The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago. They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things. These people then had children. Now these children are grown-up and have left the nest. They are in college. Or they are married and starting families of their own far away.Now these parents are living alone without children in their empty nests. They have become empty nesters. 11．Which of the following was first used? A．Couch potato. B．Cocooning. C．Mouse potato. D．Nesting. 12．________refers to a person who spends much time on computer. A．A couch potato B．A nester C．A mouse potato D．An empty nester 13．Why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter? A．Because they are addicted to computer games. B．Because they would like to play outside. C．Because it is so cold that they couldn't go outside. D．Because they are too busy at work or school. 14．What's the passage mainly about? A．How to get rid of cabin fever. B．How people become nesters or empty nesters. C．How to spend your leisure time. D．The origin of some words.

In the book's first half, devoted to robots, Turkle gives out toys like the Tamagotchi, Furby, and Zhu Zhu robotic hamster(仓鼠)，then explores children's deep attachments to the creatures and assessments of whether they are alive. Such quasi-pets set the psychological stage for what Turkle is really worried about: robot lovers. One woman even says that if a robot acted like it cared, she'd trade in her boyfriend. The book's second half explores the “network”—instant messages, social networks, confessional websites, and the like—and how it reshapes the self. Fifteen-year-olds send and receive close to 6，000 messages a month.“They communicate all day but are not sure if they have connected.They develop friendships on social networking sites and then wonder if they are among friends.” In texting, a typical question is“Where are you？”， not an open-ended one like “How are you？” Just as robots produce confusion about whether one is alone or with another, Turkle sighs. “We_are_connected_to_each_other,_but_strangely_more_alone.” “What can't be denied(否认) is that technology, with all its faults, makes life a lot easier. It allows us to get in touch with more people in less time; it can make conversation simple—no small talk required. But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in a real, face-to-face setting? Online, you can ignore others' feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is becoming unconcerned. That doesn't spell disaster, but it does mean we might want to start thinking about the way we want to live. We've gone through terribly rapid change, and some of these things just need a little sorting out.”Turkle says. This book is not to be missed and worthy of every dollar you spend. 31．In her book, Turkle worries that ________． A．the robotic creatures are not alive B．all women would fall in love with robots C．children are addicted to keeping animal pets D．more people are lost in the world of technology 32．What can be implied from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? A．Internet sets us apart from each other. B．Social network is not the real world. C．Internet brings us closer to each other. D．Messages are used a lot in people's daily life. 33．If a child keeps using messages a lot, he or she may ________． A．get engaged in small talks B．care little for others' feelings C．get stuck in many disasters D．well sort out personal relationship 34．The purpose of writing this passage is to ________． A．recommend a good book to readers B．urge people to keep away from technology C．analyze the dangers of keeping robots as lovers D．explore the relationship between human and technology Ⅳ.完成句子 35．The minute the shopping mall opened, the customers came ________________________________.

This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end. After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you.No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed，“I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical(愤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wake-up call ever.” Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey. Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on Youtube, becoming a hit on the Internet. 11．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle ________． A．rose from a low social class B．had an unhappy marriage C．lived with a dog alone on a farm D．won the championship in the Britain's Got Talent show 12．At the beginning of the show, almost everybody ________． A．looked forward to her wonderful performance B．was attracted by her beautiful dress C．looked down upon her D．placed great hope on her 13．We can infer that ________ contributed most to her global popularity.

Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades. Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2，200-student school in this neighborhood. He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.” Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap. Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept. Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go around singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a C-average to an A. In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to inspire them. His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”，and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”．Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior. 15．According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been ________ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy. A．a popular teacher 　B．a music teacher C．a mathematics teacher 　D．a famous singer 16．LaMar Queen has won a national award because ________． A．he is good at composing rap songs B．his new musical production was shown on TV C．he created a unique teaching method in math D．he gave students a lot of confidence 17．We can infer from the last paragraph but one that ________． A．Queen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the students B．Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rap C．Queen is willing to help the students who are not good at math D．Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping 18．This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of ________． A．society 　B．education C．entertainment 　D．biography Ⅲ.完成句子 19．With each classroom ________________ a water fountain, all the students now have easy access to clean drinking water.

Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks. Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They belong to “Type A” personality. Studies suggest that these people often get stress-related disorders. The “Type B” personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress. Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are.However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. He notes that men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress. For a man, the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her problems. Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing.Exercise is one of the most effective stress-reduction measures, as physical changes from exercise make you feel better. In addition, exercise can also improve the body's defense system against disease. Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible. 31．According to the experts, ________． A．people respond to stress quite differently B．people make the same response to stress C．unlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easily D．personality has nothing to do with how we experience stress 32．Compared with “Type A” personality, “Type B” personality ________． A．causes more troubles B．is less able to cope with different situations C．is more easily affected by stress D．tends to solve problems more peacefully 33．By saying “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”， John Gray means that they ________． A．experience emotions in a different way B．cope with stress in a different way C．suffer from stress in a similar way D．develop stress in the opposite way 34．If you want to reduce your stress, you can ________． A．take some exercise B．keep it to yourself C．remain silent D．ignore the stressful situation Ⅳ.完成句子 35．Those __________________________ the progress they have made will have greater success.

The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1，500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado. “This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars，” said Boulder's research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters. “The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.” Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon(溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing(使淤积) sediment(沉积物) which formed a delta(三角洲)． “Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us”， said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry. Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago. The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.

B Yawning is so contagious(具有传染性的) that chimpanzees can “catch” it from cartoons, according to research.
Scientists from Emory University in Atlanta，US, have discovered that a cartoon of a yawning chimp will stimulate(刺激) real chimps to yawn. They describe in the Royal Society journal，Proceedings B，how this could assist in the future study of empathy(同感，共鸣)．The work could also help explain if and how computer games might cause children to imitate what they see on screen. Previous studies have already shown contagious yawning in chimpanzees—stimulated by video-recorded footage of yawns. “We wanted to expand on that，” explained Matthew Campbell，a researcher from Emory University's Yerkes National Primate Research Center and lead author of the study.“We're interested in using cartoons for presenting stimuli to animals, because we can control all the features of what we show them，” he continued. Although Dr Campbell doesn't think the chimps were “fooled” by the cartoons into thinking they were looking at real chimps, he explained that there was evidence that chimpanzees “process animated(动画的) faces the same way they process photographs of faces”． He said, “It's not a real chimpanzee，but it kind of looks like a chimpanzee, and they are responding to that.” He and his team, including Devyn Carter who designed the cartoons, showed the animals the yawning sequences. “We also had the cartoons doing other movements with their mouths that the chimps often do，” he said.“The chimps showed a lot more yawning during the yawn video than when the control videos were playing.” He told BBC News that the only way he and his colleagues could explain the “very strong difference” they saw was that seeing the yawns was making the animals yawn. 15．According to the passage, the scientists have found that ________． A．yawning is a contagious facial expression among chimps B．chimps will imitate a cartoon chimp who is yawning C．chimps are able to understand cartoons very well D．chimps like watching cartoons very much 16．According to the passage we can learn that ________． A．yawning on both cartoon videos and pictures can make chimps yawn B．Devyn Carter led the study about contagious yawning C．children will also be stimulated to yawn by the videos of chimps D．people can control all the features of animals through cartoons 17．By studying the action of chimps, the scientists hope to ________． A．teach them more body language of human beings B．learn how chimps use their brains to study C．control the actions and behaviors of animals D．create more charming cartoon characters 18．The passage is mainly talking about ________． A．a serious research about chimps' body language B．those contagious gestures of animals C．why children imitate what they see on TV D．a study about chimps' ability of imitating Ⅲ.完成句子 19．According to statistics, a man is ________________ to die of skin cancer as a woman.

But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales(童话)． The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained
10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschweiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous(匿名) envelopes, each containing
10，000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church. The envelops keep coming, and so far at least
190，000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of
500 inside, with a copy of the article.The name of the family was underlined. “I was driving when I heard the news，”Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine.“I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.” The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for. “For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing，” Mrs Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy. Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said：“Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know.”However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations. 11．The Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of ________． A．a church B．a bank C．a newspaper D．a magazine 12．Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?

Moreover, it finds, the caloric fallout of not paying attention to what we're eating doesn't necessarily end when a meal is over. Rose Cooper from England, and her colleagues gathered 22 men and an equal number of women for an experiment. Each person dined alone, continuously receiving nine small shares of food items. These ranged from cheese twists and potato chips to carrots, cherry tomatoes and sandwiches or sausage rolls. Because the goal was to test the potential impacts of distraction on fullness, the researchers randomly assigned half of the participants to eat in front of a computer—and to gain as many wins as possible at the “card” game. Everyone else was told to focus on the sensory qualities of their meal. According to their instructions, the participants ate all of the food given to them. Yet people who played a computer game during lunch found their meal less filling than the mindful eaters had. Game players also swallow down twice as many cookies, almost an hour later, when they were allowed all the dessert they wanted( in the name of a taste test)．The British scientists present their findings in the February edition of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The real question is why distracted eating should impact snacking.It appears, the scientists say, that memory plays some tricky role in how we register what we eat and the degree to which it satisfies. Interestingly, eight years ago, Britta Barkeling of Huddinge University in Stockholm and her colleagues reported somewhat related findings.Their 18 overweight subjects had no choice other than to get rid of everything but lunch, on one day—because they were blindfolded. Compared to a day when they could view what they were dining on, these people consumed only three quarters as many calories. Yet even hours afterward, they reported being no less full than on the day they had been able to see their plates. Of course dining in the dark isn't practical. And sometimes what we eat doesn't really invite our absolute attention. But there is certainly a growing mountain of data indicating that mindless eating is a waste of resources, a risk to our waistlines—and a costly threat to health. 31．Rose Cooper and her colleagues did the experiment in order to ________． A．show that all the people enjoy snacks B．prove that playing computer games is harmful while dining C．find possible effects of distraction on fullness D．test the impacts of eating snacks on different people 32．Which is the most effective way to concentrate on your food when dining?

From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children weren't getting enough exercise and that it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country.“With regards to physical activities levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries，” Guthold said.“Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activities.”The study was published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looking at 72，845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from North and South America, Asia, Europe，and the Middle East. The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2007. The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV，playing computer games, or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary.
The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia. Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary activities. People show deep concern for kids' lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated(推测)that urbanization(都市化) could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs. 11．If you are sedentary, you________． A．are a diligent student spending much time doing homework B．have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every day C．like watching TV and playing computer games D．spend a lot of time sitting down and not moving 12．Which statement is TRUE about the finding of the study, led by Regina Guthold? A．Most children around the world don't meet the exercise recommendation. B．Girls in every country are no more active than boys. C．Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities. D．Only 4 percent of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise. 13．Which could be the best title of the passage? A．American children are addicted to TVs and computers B．Nearly one third of children globally are couch potatoes C．Effects of physical activities on health D．Unimaginable standard of physical health 14．What would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the following paragraphs? A．The suitable amount of physical activities for students. B．Some of the factors for the popularity of cars and TVs among the kids. C．The reasons behind the lack of physical activities. D．The ways to make the most of physical activities. B Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family-friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought. Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them. A new generation of parents need to discover the meaning of “quality time”， researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time—spending productive time with children vs. just being around，” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than “passive monitoring”， such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV. “This_time_with_children_pays_off，” Brandon says. He notes that good parent-child relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school. As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall. Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them, vs. doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The trade-off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid，” he says, “You're taking away time from other things.” 15．The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us that ________． A．technology lets parents work at home B．parents are satisfied with their work C．technology makes our lives much easier D．the family time is not always satisfying 16．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________． A．some families are not experiencing quality time B．it's enough for parents to stay with their children C．parents enjoy engaging in work-at-home activities D．working hours at home can transform into quality time 17．According to Brandon, the quality time means ________． A．just being around with children B．work time is separate from family time C．spending interactive time with children D．letting the children do whatever they want to do 18．The underlined sentence “This time with children pays off” means________． A．the time with children is of little value B．the time with children costs quite a lot C．the time with children leads to good result D．the time with children has a bad effect on them Ⅲ.完成句子 19．As my secretary, your duty ____________ filing the papers and answering the calls.

Now 34 of them have comfortable beds in a smart new home, with a community hall and medical centre next to it.Another 175 village children eat there daily, with the adults coming in to learn English; it's an amazing transformation. Even more amazing is that the person behind it is just 21. When Alice Pulford was waiting to get into university, she took a five-month teaching position in Malawi.She loved the place, and returned in the spring of 2009 to visit her friend Zulu in Tilinanu.His aunt Mercy owned land there and was doing her best to provide an education for the orphans, many of whom had lost parents to AIDS or malaria(疟疾)． But after helping Mercy out for some time, Alice realised that what the girls in particular really needed was a safe and permanent place to live.There was a derelict(年久失修的) church on Mercy's land.“If you give me the church, I'll set up a home for these children，” Alice told her.Mercy agreed. Alice phoned home and told her family about her plan.The family had already helped Alice raise ￡1，800 to assist the orphans.After they received Alice's call, they threw themselves into raising another ￡6，000, organising theatre trips and special parties and dinners. Alice found Malawian builders, selected materials and even helped with the brick-laying.In ten weeks, the church became a dormitory with toilets and a living area.In spring last year, Alice raised another ￡19，000 to build the medical centre and two new dormitories. The girls are happier—and so is Alice, who has been spending around four months in Malawi a year.“The orphans think they're gaining from me, but when I see their smile, it transforms me，” she says. 31．Over a year ago, the orphans didn't have ________． A．a classroom B．a teacher C．shelter D．food 32．What is known about the home Alice has built for the orphans? A．It looks like a community hall. B．It depends on the villagers' help. C．It provides a place for recreation.

A．Money-raising is a family business. B．Winning orphans' smile calls for skills. C．AIDS has made many children parentless. D．Helping others brings changes in a person.

As soon as the light in the bedroom went out, there was a big noise all through the farm buildings. Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White pig, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn(谷仓) as soon as Mr.Jones was safely out of the way. At one end of the big barn, Major lay on his bed of straw comfortably. He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather heavy, but he was still a nice-looking pig, with a wise and easy-going appearance. Before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves comfortable after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately beside Major. The two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs(蹄子) with great care for fear that there should be some small animals hidden in the straw. Clover was a motherly big horse approaching middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth kid. Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first-rate intelligence, but he was well respected for his steadiness of character and extraordinary abilities. After the horses came Benjamin, the donkey, Benjamin got angry easily. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make all such remarks—for instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would rather have had no tail and no flies. Alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed. If asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at. 11．All the animals came to the barn to ________． A．vote for a farm master B．listen to Major's strange dream C．discuss how to win a prize D．share how to drive Mr. Jones away 12．According to the passage, Clover was ________． A．considerate and in good shape B．old-aged and out of shape C．a fat horse with a gentle heart D．a pretty horse with a nice character 13．What earned Boxer high respect? A．His strong build and great wisdom. B．His calm character and great powers of work. C．His good temper and strong build. D．His steady character and quick mind. 14．Which remark could be to Benjamin's taste? A．Life is like a box of sweets. B．Life is an interesting journey. C．Life is a battle. D．There is nothing exciting in life. B[2012·福建卷] Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons(神经元)in our brains. Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people. Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to(for example：“The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed(in this example, actually taking hold of a ball)． Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动)．Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why. 15．Mirror neurons can explain ________． A．why we cry when we are hurt B．why we cough when we suffer from a cold C．why we smile when we see someone else smile D．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late 16．The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “________”． A．set off B．cut off C．built up D．broken up 17．We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons ________． A．relate to human behavior and interaction B．control human physical actions and feelings C．result in bad behavior and social disorders D．determine our knowledge and language abilities 18．What is the passage mainly about? A．Ways to find mirror neurons. B．Problems of mirror neurons. C．Existence of mirror neurons. D．Functions of mirror neurons.

Some of these people made a great impact on my life, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people. One such person I met was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year. When I met her for the first time, I couldn't believe that she was in her late seventies—I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. After speaking with her for a short period, it was only then that the conversation seemed to turn to age. And, it wasn't a conversation about the frailty(脆弱) of age, or the aches and pains, or about pleasures lost. The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the planning stages of doing. And, what she was planning to do wasn't about going to a seniors group so she and her husband could go on a bus tour. What she was planning was an excursion(旅行) to Europe, unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide. She really impressed me a lot because of her zest for life; for an uncompromising view of the future not in the least affected by her age; for the undying faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness or experience. 11．From the text we know ________． A．the woman had much sight-seeing around the world B．the woman was willing to help others C．the woman made great wealth by selling crafts D．the woman talked a lot about her age 12．The old woman impressed the author because ________． A．she kept young in spite of her age B．she had experienced a lot in life C．she never gave in to the aches and pains in life D．she had a positive outlook on life 13．What kind of tone does the author use to describe the woman?

D．Appreciative. 14．The underlined word “zest” in the fourth paragraph probably means “________”． A．enthusiasm B．concept C．view D．satisfaction Ⅲ.完成句子 15．Believe in yourself ______________________________ in the future. 相信自己，你会在未来做出成就。(make) 16．Often the illness or injury is not serious, but there are other times __________________________ quickly can save lives.

Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by the Global Carbon Project. Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it difficult, if not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades. The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. In the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose by over 4 percent in 2010, the new analysis shows. “Each year, emissions go up, and there's another year of negotiations, another year of indecision，” said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research. “There's no evidence that this path we've been following in the last 10 years is going to change.” Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare at long-term risk. But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs. The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed(超过) the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and the production of cement(水泥) sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the new analysis found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries. On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made headway in stabilizing their emissions. But Dr. Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich countries have simply exported some of them. The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of energy-intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import. “All that has changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced，” Dr. Peters said. Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs designed to make their energy systems greener. While it is possible, the new numbers suggest they have had little effect so far. 31．Many governments in the world resist limiting emissions because ________． A．it is not the best way to solve such problems B．they don't realize the risks of carbon emissions C．it would probably harm human welfare in the long run D．they are unwilling to accept higher energy costs 32．According to Glen P. Peters, we can learn that ________． A．the rapid growth of emissions contributes to potential risks for humans B．rich countries actually take more responsibility for the growth of emissions C．human beings will follow the same path of negotiations in the next 10 years D．some countries negotiate together yearly whether to reduce the amounts of emissions 33．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. Sian Beilock says, “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about them as their cognitive(认知的)horsepower that they could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.” Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort. Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12 percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B＋， compared to a B－for those who did not. The research shows that for students who are highly test-anxious, who'd done the writing intervention(排解), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations. But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance. 11．The purpose of the passage is ________． A. to build the confidence of the highly anxious test-takers B. to introduce a research about the anxious test-takers C. to improve the performance of the test-takers D. to tell something about the highly anxious test-takers 12．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to________． A. attention and memory resources B. worries about the consequences C. concerns about the exam D. cognitive horsepower 13．According to the research, the solution to the test anxiety is to________． A. sit quietly before the exam B. prepare well before the test C. set their mind on happy memories D. write about their feelings before the test 14．The result of the research suggests that ________． A. proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thing B. avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxation C. facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve more D. taking no action before difficulty may result in success B Seen from space the Earth is covered in a blue mantle. It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed(相形见绌)by the oceans surrounding them and the vastness of the marine area. An astonishing 80 percent of all the life on Earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which keep life on our planet. The oceans provide necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable. Without the global ocean there would be no life on Earth. It is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the oceans on a scale that is unimaginable to most people. We now know that human activity can have serious influences on the vital forces governing our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that. As yet largely unseen，but just as serious，are the influences we are having on the oceans. A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. The actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural level. A large quantity of human pressures are being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over. Consequently ecosystems are collapsing as marine species are driven towards extinction and ocean habitats are destroyed. With the decrease and removement of their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their natural recovery. 15．The 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs are given mainly to describe________． A．what the oceans look like B．what the oceans are made up of C．what lives in the oceans D．what functions the oceans have 16．The oceans provide all the following except ________． A. various marine creatures B. rich living resources C. all natural forces D. comfortable habitats for man 17．Man has not yet realized that ________． A．he has done harm to the oceans B．he has done harm to the planet C．he has benefited from the oceans D．he has benefited from the planet 18．The best title for this passage should be ________． A. Protecting our planet B. Defending our oceans C. Making good use of our oceans D. A glimpse of the oceans Ⅲ.完成句子 19．Oil ____________________________， they had to take a taxi home.

But holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet. For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year.Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult. The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment.The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed. While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning. In setting out its plans for a five-term year，Nottingham City Council(委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break.We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning. We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care. 31．The passage is probably written by ________． A．an experienced teacher B．a working parent C．an inspired student D．a city council member 32．The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to “________”． A．environments B．holidays C．wages D．benefits 33．It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to ________． A．2 weeks B．4.5 weeks C．5 weeks D．6 weeks 34．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students ________． A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs B．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment D．have more school days to receive free school meals 35．It can be inferred from the passage that ________． A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time” D．some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday Ⅳ.完成句子 36．____________________________________________cost the young man his marriage as well as his health.

Nature has created huge moving hills of pure white sand. These sand dunes cover more than seventy-thousand hectares of desert. It is one of the largest sand dune fields in the United States. The bright white sand dunes are always changing，always moving, like waves on the ocean.Driven by strong winds, the sand moves and covers everything in its path. It is like a huge sea of sand. You may wonder how anything can live in this extreme environment of a white sand desert. There is not much rain.The heat in summer is intense. The sand lacks nutrients.Plants and animals struggle to survive. A few kinds of plants grow quickly to survive burial by the moving sand dunes. Several kinds of small animals have become white in color in order to hide in the sand. More than five hundred thousand people visit White Sands each year. They climb on the dunes and observe the moving sea of sand. White Sands is about twenty four kilometers southeast of the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the visitor center at the entrance of the park, you can find out special activities and guided walks. You can drive about thirteen kilometers into the center of the dunes. It is like driving on a lonely white planet.Along the way there is information that tells about the natural history of White Sands. You can also explore the dunes on foot, seeing some unusual and beautiful plants and flowers. Signs along the trail tell about the plants growing in the sand. You can even camp there overnight. But you must be careful. It is easy to get lost in the waves of moving sand especially during sandstorms. There is no water to drink. The temperature can rise to thirty eight degrees Celsius in summer. There is no shelter from the sun's rays. White Sands is part of America's National Parks System, and it is just one of the unusual examples of America's natural and cultural treasures. 11．Which of the following plays a major role in making for the extreme environment? A．Plants and animals. B．Strong winds. C．Intense heat and little rain. D．Many people. 12．Walking on dunes, people will ________． A．enjoy the beautiful sight of sand moving B．see many kinds of white plants and animals C．find out some special activities D．get lost easily and quickly especially during storms 13．What do we know about White Sands from this passage? A．It is one of the largest sand dune fields in the world. B．You can get to know its natural history while driving in it. C．The temperature here can rise to thirty-eight degrees Celsius any time. D．You are not allowed to camp here overnight. 14．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To attract tourists to White Sands. B．To describe the history of White Sands. C．To introduce guided tours to White Sands. D．To explain the power of nature at White Sands. B[2012·山东卷] The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1，400 to 900. Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip-mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2，000, Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433，600，000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. 15. What might be the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To seek help for Nauru's problems. B. To give a warning to other countries. C. To show the importance of money. D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war. 16. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? A. Rich and powerful. B. Modern and open. C. Peaceful and attractive. D. Greedy and aggressive. 17. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from ________． A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining C. farming activity D. whale hunting 18. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem? A. Its leaders misused the money. B. It spent too much repairing the island. C. Its phosphate mining cost much money. D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war. 19. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph? A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair. B. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously. C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans. D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.

If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house. So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned. Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle-class families—all very conservative(保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners. Having been an immigrant(移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more open-minded and often work harder than the natives. Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed. To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening—in Cyprus, they're very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers. But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got. 11．After a short overseas holiday, people tend to ________． A．notice small changes B．expect small changes C．welcome small changes D．exaggerate small changes 12．How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?

In the 1960s and 70s, Lennon was one of the most iconic(偶像的) men on the planet. Some 30 years ago from his death, he is still respected by many people in the West. The Beatles, formed in 1960 in Liverpool, were one of the most commercial successful acts in the history of pop music, with, according to some estimates, global record sales over 1.1 billion. The band conveyed the progressive ideals in which many young people of the time believed. In the 1960s and 70s, widespread tension developed in both British and American society, regarding issues such as women's rights and the Vietnam War. Lennon in particular became known for his message of peace and for his opposition to the war in Vietnam. This led to an attempt by former US president Richard Nixon to drive him away from the US. Lennon's second-wife Yoko Ono was also politically active. Lennon was also hugely admired for his musical abilities. Lennon and his fellow Paul McCartney were the Beatles' song-writing team. After Lennon was shot by crazy fan Mark Chapman，one of his most iconic songs，Imagine, became a humanist anthem(颂歌)． Lennon's legacy survived his death and continued till this day.In 2008, he was ranked the fifth greatest singer of all time in US-based Rolling Stone magazine. Former possessions of Lennon or furnishings from his homes continue to be sold for vast sums. In an auction(拍卖) to be held next week in London, lines written by Lennon on the back of a demand for an outstanding bill are expected to sell for ￡ 350，000. In August, a bathroom from his last home in Britain, was auctioned for ￡ 9，500. And in 2009, a British film describing his early years before the Beatles began, was one of the most successful films of the years in the UK. But do Lennon and his music continue to resonate(共鸣) with the young people of today? 31．The passage is written here to show that Lennon has ________． A．lasting appeal B．a long history C．exciting records D．great success 32．Which of the following is right about the Beatles according to the passage? A．It was founded in the 1960s in London. B．It had 1.1 billion sales in Britain. C．It was commercially successful. D. Many of today's young people believe its ideals. 33．Lennon was forced to leave the US as a result of ________． A．the tension between Britain and America B．his wife's political activity C．his struggle for women's rights D．his opposition to the war in Vietnam 34．We can guess that the rest of the passage will tell us ________． A．why Lennon and his music are still popular with today's young people B．why Lennon and his music spoil today's generations of young people C．that today's generations of young people don't like Lennon's songs D．that today's generations of young people like Lennon's songs better Ⅳ.完成句子 35．Some parking spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers are close to the cinema entrance and exit, ____________________________________ for them to get to the cinema.

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit. 11．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest? A．It's small in size. B．It's hidden in trees. C．It's covered with wax. D．It's hard to recognize. 12．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．A bee. B．A bird. C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper. 13．The honey guide is special in the way ________． A．it gets its food B．it goes to church C．it sings in the forest D．it reaches into bees' nests 14．What can be the best title for the text? A．Wild Bees B．Wax and Honey C．Beekeeping in Africa D．Honey-Lover's Helper B “Fathers should be neither seen nor heard，” wrote Oscar Wilde.“This is the only proper basis for family life.” It's hard to say what Wilde would have thought of this week's cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children.Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分开) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended. Gregory Heisler，who did the cover photograph，says he wanted the image to show genuine affections.So，rather than use professional models，he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids”. Adds Heisler, “Instead of doing some skilful，over-produced photographs，I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.” This isn't the first time that Heisler，39，has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME.His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times，ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992，respectively.But this week's TIME cover has special meaning，he says，because he and his wife had their first child，Lucy，16 months ago. The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe.Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures，Lowe was most deeply touched by the father-to-be embracing his pregnant wife. While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera，cover coordinator(协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette，who work behind the scenes，also deserve praise.Freeman，for instance，had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars that appears on page 62. She says, “My greatest reward is working with these talented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood，”she says.At least in this issue，those fathers are seen as well as heard. 15．In this week's TIME the photographers wanted ________． A．to show Oscar Wilde's view had gone out of date B．to show honor to the famous playwright Oscar Wilde C．to support Oscar Wilde's view D．to say sorry to Oscar Wilde 16．In Oscar Wilde's view，________． A．fathers should stay actively involved in their children's lives B．there should be distance between fathers and children in family life C．what fathers enjoy most is family life D．fathers aren't sure about what they should do at home 17．Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers' feelings accurately in his photos by ________． A．trying to experience fatherhood himself B．spending most of his time with his pregnant wife C．studying the relationship between each member in a family D．mixing with many fathers and their children 18．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A．Heisler has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME several times. B．Mary Worrell Bousquette is a cover coordinator. C．Lowe was most deeply touched by his pregnant wife. D．The author praises the work by the photographers and the editors. Ⅲ.完成句子 19．____________________________ could Holmes settle down and dive into his logical deduction.

And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US. Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands！—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely. The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down. American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate(迁移) to higher ground—but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up. The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations. Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed. All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter. 31．The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to ________． A．show the importance of Easter Day B．introduce the issue about bunnies C．remind people of Easter traditions D．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies 32．The word “culprit”(Paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ________． A．criminal 　B．judge C．victim D．producer 33．According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they ________． A．are exposed to more skillful hunters B．have moved to habitats with fewer plants C．haven't adapted themselves to climate change D．can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring 34．The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that ________． A．both are affected by less snow B．both are affected by rising sea levels C．neither can find enough food D．neither can migrate to higher places 35．Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage?

The research，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes(酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE_inhibitors，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body. Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol(胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks. Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said, “The wrong beliefs linking egg-eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods.” The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005.However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies. 11．From the text we know that “ACE inhibitors” are ________． A．a kind of medicine B．a kind of protein C．a kind of illness D．a kind of food 12．According to what Professor Bruce said，eggs ________． A．are the most nutritious food B．have no effect on blood cholesterol C．can be included in a healthy diet D．are forbidden to be eaten in the UK 13．We can infer from the text that ________． A．drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs B．stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases C．most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped D．about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health 14．The text is meant ________． A．to introduce scientific findings about eggs B．to introduce a medicine made from eggs C．to tell people how to lower their blood pressure D．to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible B[2012·山东卷] San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars. The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会). The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”． After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost $1，000. It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world. In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge. Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project. 15.

One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice：flip(掷) a coin.Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost.Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington，the man who started the American Revolution.”The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? Obviously, my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet! 11．What did the author's classmates think about his report? A．Controversial. B．Ridiculous. C．Boring. D．Puzzling. 12．Why was the author confused about the task? A．He was unfamiliar with American history. B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin. C．He forgot his teacher's instruction. D．He was new at the school. 13．The underlined word “burning” in Para.3 probably means ________． A．annoyed B．ashamed C．ready D．eager 14．In the end, the author turned things around ________． A．by redoing his task B．through his own efforts C．with the help of his grandfather D．under the guidance of his headmaster Ⅲ.完成句子 15．Fully ______________________ the housework, she doesn't have time to enjoy various activities in the club any longer.

For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep，enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature，and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand，it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions，many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success.Because not all ventures can be successful，one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success，but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at a too low level of achievement. A wise man once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success，“You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling.Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown.”The man added，“You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like，and to which you have given your best effort.” 31．According to the first paragraph，what is implied as basics in achieving success? A．Ability and goals. B．Goals and determination. C．Ability and environments. D．Goals and environments. 32．Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because ________． A．their life is busy and miserable B．they haven't reached their own standards C．they set their goals at a very low level D．they are not rich in material possessions 33．From the last paragraph we can tell that ________． A．success means achieving great goals B．success comes from setting great goals C．success means efforts and favorites pay off D．success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel 34．The underlined word can be replaced by ________． A．pleasure B．failure C．sorrow D．happiness Ⅳ.完成句子 35．She is ready to believe others, so she is ____________________.

Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality. The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test(能力倾向测验)． According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see. This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer. 11．The writer wrote the passage to ________． A．give a piece of advice for job interviewees B．tell you how to meet a job interviewer C．describe the aptitude test D．advice you how to find a job 12．Why do the interviewers ask such questions? A．They want to discover what the interviewees know. B．They are curious about the answers. C．They try to discover the ability of the interviewees' solving problems. D．They just ask questions without thinking much. 13．According to the writer，in an aptitude test，Chinese job applicants should ________． A．not tell the truth B．learn to tell what they really think C．be more enthusiastic D．try to find out what the examiner really wants to know 14．From the passage we know that ________． A．job applicants are always asked such questions B．more Chinese applicants fail to find a job C．applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner D．the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide B Can you imagine living in a house built by recycled waste? Texas home builder Dan Phillips transforms trash into artful treasures, creating beautiful floors with wood pieces, kitchen counters from ivory-colored bones and roofs out of license plates(牌照)． The fantastic houses which spring from his imagination are made almost entirely of materials which would otherwise have ended up in a garbage area. “People have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years; using whatever is available to build shelter，” Phillips said，“If you think about carefully what could be used, then building materials are everywhere.” The thirteen homes he has built so far would fit better in an art museum than the residential streets of Huntsville, a conservative town of about 35，000 people. Living in these houses is a bit like living in a roadside attraction.“Almost every day, somebody knocks on the door and says ‘Is there any way that we could see？’”said Edie Wells, an artist who rents a room in the Bone House.Her home features a stairway made of bones, floors covered in wine corks(软木塞) and beer bottle caps.Wells said visitors are most impressed when they see a bathroom with its walls, floor and ceiling entirely covered with broken mirror pieces. In addition, each house is highly energy-efficient with plenty of insulation(隔热材料), an on-demand solar hot water heater and a system that can collect and recycle rainwater to clean the toilet and wash clothes. Phillips founded Phoenix Commotion 12 years ago with the aim of creating a new model for sustainable housing.For as little as $10，000 it builds affordable homes for single parents, low-income families and artists. The company has used hundreds of tons of construction waste by recycling the materials into habitable buildings. Phillips tries to spread his recycled-house idea by speaking at events across the United States, and by using the Internet to reach out to like-minded individuals.Phillips said, “I'm not going to be saving the world anytime soon.But there needs to be at least some visibility for this model in this century.” 15．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the homes built by Phillips?

In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education，91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools.Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented(强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices.A stress on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into primary school education. Like in America，there is diversity(多样性) in Japanese early childhood education.Some Japanese kindergartens have clear aims，such as early musical training or potential development.In large cities，some kindergartens are attached to universities that have primary and middle schools.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program，it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities.Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing(智力化) in some Japanese kindergartens. 31．We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe ________． A．Japanese parents pay more attention to preschool edu-cation than American parents B．Japan's economic success is the result of its scientific achievements C．Japanese preschool education attaches greater importance to academic instruction D．Japan's higher education is better than theirs 32．In Japan's preschool education，the focus is on ________． A．preparing children academically B．developing children's interests in music C．discovering children's potential D．shaping children's character 33．Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to ________． A．lighten children's study load B．encourage children's creativity C．broaden children's views D．enrich children's knowledge 34．Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens? A．They can have no problems in their future studies. B．They can have clear aims in life. C．They can succeed in developing in every way. D．They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education. Ⅳ.完成句子 35．Typically, only if there is significant deviation from the plan ________________ on these reports.

Here we look at a few British inventions of recent times. Adaptive glasses Do you wear glasses? If so，can you imagine life without them? In 1985，Joshua Silver，a professor at Oxford University，asked himself，“Can I invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer？” He designed two plastic lenses(透镜) that are filled with a special liquid.Using syringes(注射器) you change the liquid between the lenses until you can see clearly.The glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make. The wind-up radio When you switch your TV on tonight，think about all those people without electricity.Thinking about this，Trevor Baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand.In common with Joshua Silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use.He wanted even the poorest people in developing countries，who don't have electricity and cannot afford batteries，to use it.The radio has a generator(发电机) which is powered by turning a handle.In 1996 it won the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design. The Dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner In many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship.This is the Dyson vacuum cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic，separation” to separate the dirt.You do not need a bag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical.The idea came to Sir James Dyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner.He decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory.The Dyson is now one of the bestselling cleaners in the UK and Dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds. The Zapata Flyboard Have you ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? Now you can thanks to a flyboard，built by water sports enthusiast Frank Zapata.With it you can dive back in the water and out again.It's possible to jump to incredible heights out of the water—over 30 feet.The basic flyboard model comes in at ￡4，200. So keep dreaming and inventing.One day you might get it right. 11．Which might be the best title for the passage? A．Greatest Inventions B．Scientists' Stories C．Magic Glasses D．Beautiful Minds 12．What can we learn about adaptive glasses? A．They are very expensive. B．The inventor is a student. C．The glasses are fragile. D．They don't look very nice. 13．Which invention won an award? A．Adaptive glasses. B．The wind-up radio. C．The Dyson vacuum cleaner. D．The Zapata Flyboard. 14．The Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented with the purpose of ________． A．helping people use cleaners more easily B．making Dyson a rich businessman C．keeping the house cleaner than before D．taking the place of human cleaners B Commuters(上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to￡350 a year.Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country.The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged ￡ 350 a year for each space in two years. Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff－meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers(金库)． Some ten million Britons drive to work each day，and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total ￡ 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide. Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40，000 commuters use their cars to get to work.A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get vehicles off the streets，” he said.“And these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.This is more about increasing the government's income than reducing traffic.” However，Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham.The council says the tax will raise as much as ￡100 million over ten years—one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city. Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline. But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.” 15．Supporters argue that the scheme ________． A．can help improve the parking conditions for the staff B．should be applied to all commuters driving to work C．is certain to be carried out despite the objections D．will relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport 16．According to the objectors，the scheme is unfair for ________． A．the firms with parking lots B．the workforce without cars C．the employees parking their cars on the streets D．the staff driving to work in the daytime 17．Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers's attitude towards the scheme? A．Neutral. B．Negative. C．Understanding. D．Positive. 18．It can he inferred from the passage that ________． A．many firms are willing to pay the charges for their staff B．the public transport in Nottingham is in great need of improvement C．the author believes Britons will benefit from the scheme D．those firms with more commuters will leave Nottingham Ⅲ.完成句子 19．The bank is reported in the local newspaper ________________________ 100，000，000 yuan in broad daylight yesterday.

In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used. This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the Criminally Insane. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414，825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. 11. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary________． A. came out before Minor died B. was edited by an American volunteer C. included the English words invented by Murray D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary 12. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary? A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers. B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray. C. He provided a great number of words and quotations. D. He went to England to work with Murray. 13. Why did Dr. Minor refuse to visit Oxford? A. He was shut in an asylum. B. He lived far from Oxford. C. He was busy writing a book. D. He disliked traveling. 14.

Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor 15. Which of the following best describes Dr. Minor? A. Brave and determined. B. Cautious and friendly. C. Considerate and optimistic. D.

14．C　主旨大意题。本文是一篇调查报道，结合全文尤其是文章第一段的内容可知本文的主要内容是白领深受信息泛滥之苦。 B 利用动物进行地震前的预测不失为一种好方法，种种事实表明，动物在地震之前往往先知先觉，他们的异常表现也许就是地震的征兆。 15．B　作者意图题。文章开门见山地指出科学家们找到了预测地震的帮手——动物，下文则详细分析了动物在地震前的异常反应，再结合最后一段中的内容可知作者希望探寻动物如何知道地震将要发生。 16．C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的内容可知在1975年发生在中国的一次地震中，蛇提前从冬眠中苏醒，结果被冻死。 17．A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“…an Arabian horse became very

11．A　根据文章前面的叙述，“我”从Luxor坐火车去Cairo旅游，在凌晨1点，“我”到达(reach)了目的地Cairo。 12．C　根据下文的“a couple of fast-food restaurants would be open there”可以判断出，“我”饿了，想找吃饭的地方，故正确答案为C。 13．B　由于“我”以前去过Cairo，知道此时城里的大多数餐馆都关门(close down)了。let down使失望，放下；get down记下，写下；put down记下，均不符合语境。 14．D　出租车把“我”放在了Hardee's对面的街道。短语drop sb off意思是“中途卸客”，符合语境。 15．D　作者要进去就餐，当然要去推开(open)那家餐馆的门。 16．C　根据文章的语境，街道上的两个男孩向作者跑来，叫喊(cry)着向他要食物。 17．B　根据空前后的内容，可以知道这里是并列的关系，作者作为一个经常旅游的人，又在埃及生活过一年，很熟悉孩子们的这种乞讨行为，所以要用as well as，意思是“和，又”。apart from(除了……外)；in favour of(赞成)；in return for(作为对……的回报)，均与语境不符。 18．C　根据语境，可以知道“我”对于乞讨的人并没有感到奇怪。 19．D　根据语境可知，“我”为孩子真诚的请求所感动(moved)。surprised吃惊的；regretted遗憾的；appointed约定的，均不符合语境。 20．A　根据下文的“two hamburgers for the boys”可以知道，这里指的是那两个男孩儿(boys)。 21．A　根据语境可知，“我”为那两个孩子点(order)了汉堡包。demand强烈要求；request要求，请求；deserve值得，均不符合语境。 22．B　汉堡包准备好时，“我”走到外边(outside)，邀请孩子们和“我”一起吃饭。 23．C　孩子们听到“我”的邀请，发出了令人惊讶的喊声：“不，我们不应待在这样的好地方！”

me”可知，作者也这样祈祷着。 29．D　表示作者永远记着(remember)这一点…… 30．A　虽然他们无法给予我物质上的回报，但是他们给我的祈祷比物质上的东西更好(greater)。 Ⅲ.本文是记叙文，主要介绍了一对经历暴风雨的母子的故事。 31．B　主旨大意题。第一、二、三段写暴风雨来临之初母子俩的焦虑心情，后文描写母子俩在雨水涌入房子后往外跑的情景，由此可知，全文主要围绕母子俩在暴风雨中的经历进行叙述，由此判断选B。 32．D　推理判断题。由第一段中“people's constant voices”“the howling winds”“the fearful whimpers of his little dog”和“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother”可判断，环境是嘈杂的，故选D项。 33．C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door”和第三段中的“Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.He did his best to calm his mother”可知，暴风雨来临之初，Troy (Donald的母亲)是忧虑和害怕的。 34．D　推理判断题。根据最后两段内容“母亲抓住了一根窗帘杆，儿子抓住了一块木板”可推知接下来作者极有可能写他们母子俩如何在暴风雨中自救，如果作者接着写A、B、C三个话题的内容，则显得太突兀，与上文内容衔接不上。 Ⅳ.35.is drunk driving permitted 36．only to find 37．was on the spot 38．when his attention was caught 39．His not being permitted to/That he was not permitted to 40．did he account for his absence 41．her children

激烈的，暴力的。sensitive 敏感的；serious 严重的，严肃的；strict 严格的。 8．C　考查动词短语辨析。句意：公交车驶进车站，乘客一个个地下来了。drive away开走；push in 是不存在的短语；rush in 冲进，不合题意，所以答案是C。

insects，also known as entomology.”可知entomology是“昆虫学”之意。根据常识可知只有butterflies(蝴蝶)属于昆虫，会在昆虫学中学到，故B项正确。 13．D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter.”“The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning.There would be a huge demand for children's toys.”以及第三段中的“…he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.”等信息可知，他从商务通讯、婴儿潮及蚂蚁搬家中得到启发，发明了这个蚂蚁农场玩具。D项没有提到。 14．C　段落大意题。根据最后一段的中心句“The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants.”可知，本段主要讲这个蚂蚁农场玩具除了告诉大家怎么去照顾蚂蚁外，还有更深层的教育功能。 B 古语说，“以人为鉴，可以知得失”。教授的话使作者在Clayton身上看到了自己的一些缺点，于是她改变了以前的想法，不回避Clayton，而是耐心地听他说话。 15．B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的第二句和第三句可知，由于Clayton一直谈论着自己，作者插不上话，所以对他非常厌烦。 16．D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Our professor explained how one child…”可知，第三段的话是出自那个教授之口。 17．A　推理判断题。第四段讲述了作者在听教授的课时发现自己与Clayton有很多共有的毛病，这就是她决定改变自己想法的原因。 18．A　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，为了改正自己的缺点，作者决定不回避Clayton，而是耐心去倾听他说话，由此可推知作者会用更积极的眼光去看待他人。 Ⅲ.19.where/in which a fire broke

version： When I was admitted to high school two years ago, I felt proud and excited. I ranked first in my class when I entered the school and I dreamed about the same life and treatment as before. However, with time going on, all my sense of superiority faded by and by. Teachers seemed not to pay much attention to me. Besides, my classmates didn't treat me as well as my former classmates did. I felt isolated and greatly depressed. When my English teacher noticed that I was in low spirits, she came to me and had a heart-to-heart talk with me. What impressed me most in her talk was that she told me “the best way to change others' attitude towards you is to change yourself”. It was not until then that I realized what the problem was. After that, I tried to adjust to the new environment. I concentrated on what I should do and treated my classmates sincerely. Later, I got along with them much better.

However, in daily life, people always say that if they did this or that, they would be better off now. Does this make any sense?

Similarly, we should not attach too much importance to the future, for it is really something uncertain unless you make it come true. Therefore, the present, which is what we are sure about, is very important, because by making full use of it we can find a way to success.
