s a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes，hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better. paid job. Except. for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best that money could buy. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else. The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. Like a dream
come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing，fine food and vacation abroad. However, the family still did not get to see Father for most of the week. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager. In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, he took another course in an open university. Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else. Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Happily, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough. It would be nice for his family to be able to enj0y the facilities and comfort of a condominium. Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, Father resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get to see much of him. In fact, sometimes Father had to work on Sundays entertaining clients. Over again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else. As expected, Father's hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore. On the first Sunday evening at their new home, Father declared to his family th
at he decided not to take any more courses or pursue any more promotions. From then on he was going to devote more time to hi s family, and it was a promise. Father did not wake up the next day. 56. Father worked and studied very hard because ________. A . he had to support his family B. he was enthusiastic in attending classes C. he wanted to bring his family a better lire D. he had to so as to reduce his family’s complaint 57. What CAN’T Father get through his hard work? A. Family time. B. Higher education. C. Better housing. D. Vacation abroad. 58. How would the family feel when ‘‘Father did not wake up the next day”? A. To their joy, Father can have a good rest in the end. B. They should have stopped Father from working so hard. C. Thank God, Father can stay home with them. D. There is no point working hard for a better life. 59. What is the function of the italicized(斜体)paragraphs in this passage? A. To make readers show sympathy for Father. B. To show how stubborn Father was. C. To make readers fee l how hard Father worked . D. To imply a sad ending to the story. B Plagiarism(剽窃)is the act of taking another person’s writing, conversation, song, or even idea and passing it off as your own. This includes information from web pages, books, songs, television shows. email messages, interviews, articles. artworks or any other medium. Whenever you paraphrase, summarize, or take words, phrases, or sentences from another person’s work, it is necessary to indicate the source of the information within your Paper using ail internal citation(引用). It is not enough to just list t11e source in a bibliography at the end of your paper. Failing to properly cite(引述)or acknowledge someone else’s words or ideas with an internal citation is plagiarism. Each of the 10 most common types of plagiarism is defined below. The types are ranked in the order of the seriousness of intention.
60. In terms of seriousness, which of the following is the worst? A. REMIX. B. MASHUP. C. CLONE. D. RECYCLE. 61. If an essay contains copied passages, but without citation, it could still be regarded as _______. A. HYBRID B. FIND-REPLACE C. CTRL-C D. RE-WEET 62. The Code “404 ERROR” probably means “________”. A. No Citation B. Not Found C. Some Changes D. Many Errors C It’s a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now conies the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behavior. Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If Kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well. What is your cat’s IQ? In a new study from the University of Mess
ina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behavior of their owners. “Cats are intelligent animals with a long memor
y, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the CATalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions. as evidenced by knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that’s been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas fife. ”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match. ”So. if you felt guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you call feel even worse：You fife making your cat fat! There’s no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study. it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you. There’s a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes. the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private 1esson in inner meditation. ”Brant said. Sure. But cats don’t have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their in-laws. They’re probably pretty good at remaining calm. So, according to science。even though we assumed that cats were not close to us all these years, it turns out they fife in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh? 63. According to the passage. which of the following is NOT true? A. Cats can copy humans’ schedule. B. Humans can learn from cats in some way. C. Cats are smart and have fl long memory D. Green tea and Yoga can benefit cats. 64. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Humans’ keeping searching the fridge. B. Cats’ going to their owners for food. C. Cats’ copying humans’ habit of looking for food. D. Humans’ leaving cats home while working. 65. What can we learn from our cats? A. To remain calm. B. To be able to copy. C. To stay proud. D. To look up to friends. 66. The best title for the passage could be . A. Your Cat Can Bring You Pleasure B. You Are Copying Your Cat C. You Can Make Your Cat Social D. Your Cat Is Copying Your Habit D Christmas is long gone. and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. That means it's a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether you’re out shopping for gold, or silver, here fife a few things you need to know: What determines price? The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l 8K. Anything over l 8K is really too soft for everyday wear. That’s why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K. How much can you expect to pay? That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(宝石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getti
ng ripped off, ask yourself the following: ●How long has the company been around? ●What is its return policy? ● Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions? ● Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones? Yellow gold? White? Rose? Yes, it's confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there fife a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “look for less”, consider gold. plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but
more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best. What about sterling silver(标准纯银)? Sterling silver has been。an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver--something you used to see only with gold. Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Don’t buy it if there isn’t a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price you’re paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box. 67. According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”. A. being charged B. being cheated C. being affected D. being attracted 68. Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time? A. A 14K necklace. B. A gold-plated ring. C. A vermeil ear ring. D. A gemstone necklace. 69. We call infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept ________ A. in a dry place B. in a cold place C. in a wet place D. in a hot place 70. The author writes the passage mainly to ________. A. encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry B. tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver C. introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver D. inform people of the factors to consider in buying jewelry 第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 How to Release Creativity According to most dictionaries. creativity is the ability to create. However, creativity is more than what is defined by the dictionary. It is an idea, a process, a thought。or a state of mind. One cannot learn to be creative because creativity is natural and unique to each individual. People should know that creativity doesn’t equal success. It equals the act of expressing. So. if at first the goal that is aimed for is not achieved, there is no need for worry or frustration. Creativity can, however, be released by discovery. Some people need encouragement to help release their creativity. There are quite a few ways to release it. One way to release creativity would be to look for what can inspire you. Looking at the world and admiring the differences in people and places help. Creativity can be drawn from their beauty. A person can touch, taste, smell, hear, and see hundreds of different objects. Aromas from foods, textures of blankets, and sight of unusual objects can all give inspiration. Many people are too concerned with how things should look. The focus should be on how it actually looks in the raw, to the human eye. Colors and shapes can be distorted(扭曲)by the mere fact that people want others to see it for what it is. It’s more difficult for someone to let go of all that and just let their creativity flow, unblocked. Another way to get the creativity flowing is to research what other artists have done or are currently doing. Their cultures and biographies alone can be an inspiration. Examining their works can help some appreciate artistic expression. New techniques can even be drawn from their works. Some people are even inspired by everyday events, like reading the newspaper or watching the news. Some can take other people’s situations and describe how it makes them feel. That is a wav to release creativity. Controversial issues, such as War or abortion, can inspire writings like poems. They can be used to express death, loss, or tragedy. General topics such as religion or politics can branch off into many directions, sending creativity into overdrive. Creativity is not about reaching a goal or being a perfectionist. It’s about being, feeling, and taking all that is inside and letting it out in one way or another. Creativity is not always expressed by paintings, drawings, or writings. One’s action is the main form to express creativity. Romance, for example, is a form of creativity. Love and emotion are inspired by one person for another. Taking something inside and then putting it back out into the world as another thing is the key of creativity. Knowing and loving someone so much that there is a need to express it is a very natural form of creativity. Another form of expressing creativity is talking. Some people are more blessed in this area than in more obvious ones。such as painting or drawing. They Paint a “word picture”. Speeches can be centered around new ideas and thoughts. It can contain an of one’s being and transform it into either simple or complicated words. Inspiration is vital to creativity. Even if it’s only a slight feeling or thought that inspires. Creativity can be released each time attempts are made to use the body as all outlet. Remember that creativity is not an art form, but that it forms art.

They are always aware of them In the morning some people have to get up when it is still dark. Others sleep through several hours of sunlight. But both groups wake up when they hear their alarm clock ring. When they get dressed and eat breakfast, they listen to the radio, and the radio tells them again and again exactly what time it is. On the way to work or school, people look at their watches. If they think they are going to be late, they hurry. At work, Americans think it is important to arrive at meetings on time Their lunch breaks are short, lasting only half an hour or all hour.
