第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Coffee is one of the world's most widely-enjoyed drinks. Now，a new research suggests that if you drink enough coffee，it might help you avoid certain kinds of cancer.
Dr Mia Hashibe of the University of Utah School of Medicine was interested in the connection between coffee drinking and certain cancers of the head and neck. Researchers have looked into this before，but without reaching any firm conclusions. She said, “So this finding from our new study was quite a surprise. We didn't really have any expectation of which direction it could go into.”
To sort out the confusion, Hashibe and her assistants used statistical(统计学的) techniques to, in effect, make one big study out of the earlier smaller studies. She explained，“Thanks to the earlier studies, we have a lot more power than earlier studies that looked at this. And we included 4，000 cancer patients who have cancer of the mouth and throat. And then 9，000 controls, people who do not have cancer.” Those studies in Europe and the United States found that people who drank a lot of coffee were less likely to develop cancers of the mouth and throat. “We saw 4 cups of coffee per day，”Hashibe said, “This was the 40 percent decrease in risk. We did not see the same effect for drinking three cups or less per day.”
Mia Hashibe said there was a weak connection between cancer risk and drinking coffee without caffeine. And she and her assistants found no proof that drinking tea provided the same protection as drinking coffee. Their research is published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
Hashibe says it is not clear how coffee might protect drinkers from certain cancers. “There are a few chemicals that are known to be antioxidants(抗氧化物) in coffee. So we are thinking perhaps they are playing some sort of protective role against several cancers.”
36．This passage is probably taken from ________．
A．a literature book B．a travel journal
C．an old directory D．a medical magazine
37．Dr Hashibe expected nothing of her research because ________．
A．it was impossible to get the desired result
B．the research was much surprising in fact
C．no conclusions had been reached before
D．the research team lacked faith in success
38．What do we know about Dr Mia Hashibe and her research?
A．She knew for sure how coffee may affect drinkers.
B．She included 4，000 people without cancer in study.
C．She found an effect for three cups of coffee a day.
D．She based her research on several earlier studies.
39．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Drinking Coffee May Protect Some Cancers
B．Drinking Coffee May Prevent Some Cancers
C．Drinking Coffee May Cure Some Cancers
D．Drinking Coffee May Cause Some Cancers
B
I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids'. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9：00 each night and up at 7：45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bring up my three children. I'm filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

Surface Exploration. Robots make great explorers on planets，moons，and other landing areas. Aside from the Earth，just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe，making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation，weather，and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
Data Collection. Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at a time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals，analyzing ground samples，and finding water are all performed more quickly and accurately (精确地) by robots.
Cost Effective. The use of robots have made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.
Space Travel. Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are the Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.
44．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?
A．The use of robots in space exploration cost more than the use of humans.
B．It may be dangerous for humans to explore the solar system except the Earth.
C．Both the Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water in the Mars.
D．Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
45．Which column could the passage come from?
A．Education. B．Finance. C．Travel. D．Science.
46．The underlined word “withstand” most probably means “________”．
A．arise B．bear C．defeat D．diverse
47．What is the writer's attitude in writing this passage?
A．Negative. B．Persuasive. C．Subjective. D．Objective.
D
The European Union announced plans on Tuesday to temporarily ban the use of animal cloning for food production, while allowing imports of food derived from the offspring(后代) of clones from the United States and elsewhere.
The report from the European Commission followed a call by EU lawmakers in July for a total ban on food derived from cloned animals and their traditionally bred offspring, citing ethical concerns over the industrial production of cloned meat.
The Commission said a temporary five-year EU ban on cloning for food production was justified on animal welfare grounds, but said banning imports of food from the offspring of clones was unnecessary and would disrupt global trade.
“Food from cloned animals is safe. In fact, the scientific opinion is that it cannot be differentiated in any way from food from normally bred animals. The issue is animal welfare，” EU Health and Consumer Commissioner John Dalli told reporters.
Food derived from the offspring of clones presents no such animal welfare issues, and banning its sale and import would be impossible because the origin is untraceable, Dalli said.
“Such a prohibition would lead to a ban of imports of any food of animal origin (meat, milk and processed products) from third countries allowing the cloning technique，” the report said.
“We're not going to regulate for the world，” Dalli added.
But animal welfare groups criticized the Commission's decision, saying it had bowed to pressure from third countries.
“We do not accept the Commission's position that it would be impossible to enforce a ban that includes the offspring of cloned animals, as (other) meat traceability systems are already in place，” said Sonja Van Tichelen, director of the Eurogroup for Animals.
48．From the passage we can infer the ban is ________．
A．justified B．welcome C．controversial D．meaningless
49．The text is most probably a ________．
A．news report B．book review
C．newspaper ad D．science fiction story
50．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The ban is permanent.
B．The imports of food from the offspring of clones are not banned.
C．Animal welfare groups support the ban.
D．The ban has been into effect.
51．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．The plans of the European Union
B．A temporary five-year EU ban
C．EU proposes ban on animal cloning for food
D．The danger of food derived from cloned animals
E
He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.
In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall，Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University，where he studied physics，and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.
Professor Hawking said，“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy，and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，”he said. “But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein，so presumably they saw signs of something better.”
But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death，it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”
52．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Stephen Hawking is the second Einstein in the world.
B．Stephen Hawking couldn't read at the age of 7.
C．Stephen Hawking's handwriting was once terrible.
D．Stephen Hawking's sister once performed much better than him.
53．We can infer that Stephen Hawking was ________when he was a child and studied in Oxford University.
A．clever B．lazy C．bright D．mean
54．What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?
A．Patience. B．Knowledge. C．Health. D．Laziness.
55．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Stephen Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.
B．It was possible for Hawking to face the early death.
C．Hawking didn't realize life was too limited until 21 years old.
D．His life might be taken away by long hard work.

第一节 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Speaking in public is most people's least favorite thing. The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.
But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It's just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I'm basically shy (honest！), I've been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not 10 or 20. If you can't express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused on well enough. And if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, there's no way your audience will.
No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to get your ducks in a row—how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close.
When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. When you know where you're headed, you can choose any route to get there. A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.
The standard length of a vaudeville act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn't go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?

第二部分
A
[文章大意] 文章主要介绍了Dr Mia Hashibe和她的助手在原来的研究的基础上，进行研究，发现每天喝一定量的咖啡可能会降低患癌症的概率。
36．D 文章出处题。文章是说喝咖啡会降低患癌症的概率。这样的文章不可能是摘自文学书、旅游日记和旧的电话簿，而是摘自医疗杂志。
37．C 细节理解题。从第二段的Researchers have looked into this before, but without reaching any firm conclusions. She said, “So this finding from our new study was quite a surprise. We didn't really have any expectation of which direction it could go into.”看出，原来的研究者已研究过，但是没有结果，因此她对他们的研究没有太多的期待。
38．D 推理判断题。从第三段的To sort out the confusion, Hashibe and her assistants used statistical techniques to, in effect, make one big study out of the earlier smaller studies. 可推出他们是以原来的研究为基础的。
39．B 主旨大意题。文章第一段a new research suggests that if you drink enough coffee, it might help you avoid certain kinds of cancer. 就点出了主题。
B
[文章大意] 本文主要讲述了母亲对子女严格要求和作者对此由讨厌至感激的情感转变。
40．B 推理判断题。 通读全文我们可以看出作者母亲对子女要求非常严格。
41．A 推理判断题。 根据文章第三段最后两句可得知作者学习成绩很好。文章是以一种幽默的笔调将母亲的严格称为“吝啬苛刻”，将母亲对其劳动的培养称为违反了并不存在的“儿童劳动法”，故B项错误。由此也可推知D项错误，作者家庭生活并不贫困，只是母亲要求比较严格。从第三段中的…our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing.及第四段中的She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.可知C项错误。
42．D 推理判断题。母亲的严格管教使孩子们受益匪浅。作者是怀着对母亲的感激之情写这篇文章的。虽然一开头把母亲说成“mean (吝啬、刻薄)”， 但并不恨她。文章最后一段也说明了这一点。
43．A 推理判断题。作者用诙谐的语气将严格的母亲形容成“吝啬、刻薄”， 讲述母亲怎样将子女抚养成有素质、诚实的人。
C
[文章大意] 本文主要介绍了机器人是如何在一些星球上进行太空探索及与人相比所占的优势及所起的作用等等。
44．A 细节理解题。由第三段The use of robots have made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.可知使用机器人进行太空探索比人类做这项工作花费更少，因此A项说花费更多是错误的。
45．D 推理判断题。本文主要介绍机器人在太空探索中的运用，这应该属于科学栏目，故选D项。
46．B 词义猜测题。前面提到这些星球的表面太热或太冷应该是会让人难以忍受，故选B项，bear意为“忍受”。
47．D 推理判断题。纵观全文可知作者只是客观地介绍了机器人在太空探索中的使用，并未带有否定的、说服性的或者是主观的看法，故选D项。
D
[文章大意] 欧盟委员会近日宣布，将在近期就克隆食品提出一项立法建议，建议欧盟在今后5年暂停用于食品生产的动物克隆，但是克隆动物通过传统方式繁殖的后代用于食品生产和销售不在禁止之列，因为这些产品的源头无法追踪。
48．C 推理判断题。文章首先介绍了该禁令的内容意义及产生的背景，后文又介绍了对该禁令的异议But animal welfare groups criticized the Commission's decision…We do not accept the Commission's position that…，由此可以推断，人们对于这一禁令是有争议的(controversial)。justified “合乎情理的”； welcome “受欢迎的”； meaningless“没有意义的”。
49．A 出处推断题。由文章大意可以看出，这是一篇新闻报道，故选A项。
50．B 细节理解题。 由文中第三段的…but said banning imports of food from the offspring of clones was unnecessary and would disrupt global trade可知B项正确。由The Commission said a temporary five-year EU ban on cloning for food production was justified…可知A项错误； 由倒数第二段可知C项错误； 由文章的第一句话可以看出，该计划目前仍在计划中，因此D项错误。
51．C 标题判断题。纵观全文可以看出，文章向我们报道了欧盟委员会近日宣布，将在近期就克隆食品提出一项立法建议，建议欧盟在今后5年暂停用于食品生产的动物克隆，故C项最能概括全文。
E
[文章大意] 文章向我们介绍了传奇科学家史蒂芬·霍金。
52．A 细节理解题。由第三段But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein，so presumably they saw signs of something better.可知绰号“爱因斯坦”是同学们给起的，但不意味着他就是第二个爱因斯坦。故A项不符合文意。
53．B 推理判断题。由第一段特别是But outstanding astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old和第二段开头句可知，他8岁之前和在大学里是非常懒惰的。故选B项。
54．C 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句…only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone disease made him concentrate on his work可知，是“运动神经元疾病”促使他有所作为。故选C项。
55．B 段落大意题。由最后一段，特别是最后一句He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death，it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”可知，他有可能要面对英年早逝的不争事实。故选B项。

Dear_Mike，
You_asked_me_about_the_present_situation_of_the_public_transportation_in_our_town_in_the_last_letter. Here I'm very glad to share something with you.
Our town government has been trying their best to improve the public transportation in the past two years. The measures include rebuilding all the roads, cleaning all the streets, carrying the system that every department should be in charge of the places belonging to it, cleaning up a lot of business stands occupying the road and electro-tricycles as well as opening buses running in our town.
I am lucky to be one of the citizens who have benefited from the system. After this, there is no traffic jam. Traffic accidents are gradually decreasing. All the streets are clean and tidy. It is convenient and cheap for us to take a bus. Our government did do a very good deed for our citizens. We should be thankful to our government.
What about the public transportation in your city? I am interested to know about it.
Yours，
Li_Hua
