Alan Moore was born on November 18, 1953 in Northampton, England. He led a marred childhood growing up in poverty and a neighborhood lacking basic facilities. His father, Ernest Moore, was a worker and mother, Sylvia Doreen, a printer.

Alan loved reading and began borrowing books from a local library at the age of five. Moore attended Spring Lane Primary School and was later accepted to Northampton Primary School. Here,

he was introduced to middle class and better educated people. Not able to cope with the change, Moore went from being a top class student to a low-grading one, and as a result he lost interest in academic studies.

Moore began publishing his poetry and essays in various fanzines (magazines written for and by fans) during the late 1960s and eventually set up his own fanzine named Embryo. He continued to live with his parents for some time and worked on different jobs, including cleaning toilets. In 1971, Moore met Phyllis, whom he married some time later, and then had two daughters, Amber and Leah. Also, during the 1970s, Moore became a cartoonist. His work began appearing in publications such as Sounds and NME. He moved on to contribute to more significant publications including Doctor Who Weekly and 2000 AD. Also during this time Moore began creating several popular series such as The Ballad of Halo Jones and D.R. & Quinch.

Alan gained life-changing recognition when he started writing for the British magazine, Warrior. He worked on his most important series, Miracleman and V for Vendetta. He was awarded the British Eagle for Best Comics Writer awards for both these works in 1982 and 1983. The famous book V for Vendetta was also adapted for the screen in a successful Hollywood movie in 2005.

His five American series was Saga of the Swamp Thing.Moore’s writing set new styles and standards in the comic writing type. This influence can still be seen in the works of many comic writers. His 1986 work Watchmen redefined the comic book medium, changing the tone of comics to date. Many readers and critics consider Watchmen to be the best comic ever produced.

By the end of the 1980s, Alan Moore was publishing his own graphic novels(漫画小说) while also contributing to Batman and superman stories. Despite disagreements with mainstream comic publishers, Moore still continues to sell a lot and remain on the top. Also towards the late 1980s, Moore set up his own publishing company called Mad Love Publishing.

24. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“marred” in the first paragraph?

C. Typical

D. Influential

25. Alan Moore fell behind others in Northampton Primary School because ________.

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.

Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.

But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City— its present population is 762.

28. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?

A. Its business culture.

B. Its small population.

C. Its geographical position.

D. Its favourable climate.

29. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?

A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.

B. One out of five people got rich.

C. Almost everyone gave up.

D. Half of them died.

30. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?

A. They found the city too crowded.

B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.

C. They were unable to stand the winter.

D. They were short of food.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A. The rise and fall of a city.

B. The gold rush in Canada.

C. Journeys into the wilderness.

D. Tourism in Dawson.

Some people like to have a few close friends on Facebook, while others have hundreds whom they barely know. Researchers now believe that the number of friends you have can show how successful you are, and even how often you move.

Researchers from the University of Virginia and the London Business School say the perfect number of friends actually depends on several socioeconomic factors, and varies from country to country. Shigehiro Oishi, a psychology professor from the University of Virginia’s college of Arts & Sciences, and Selin Kesebir of the London Business School explored the benefits of social networking strategies in two studies currently published in the journal Psychological Science.

One reason that Americans may prefer a large social network, the researchers claim, is because Americans move around a lot. Another important factor may be the economic conditions at a given time. Oishi and Ksesbir predicted that a broad, shallow networking strategy would be ideal for people living in a residentially (在居住条件上) mobile, economically favorable context. A narrow, deep networking strategy, on the other hand, would be ideal if people tend to stay in one place and economic conditions aren’t as favorable.

In the first study, they created a model that simulated （模拟）the benefits individuals received from their social network under various socioeconomic conditions. The researchers were able to simulate people who have different numbers of friends at different levels of friendship, and they were also able to account for the investment required by each type of friendship. As they predicted, they found that having a small social network with deep ties to friends is advantageous when friends are not likely to move away and the economy is unstable.

Oishi and Kesebir conducted the second study to investigate whether this pattern of results would hold up in the real world. They found 247 Americans to participate in an online survey through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. The survey was designed to parallel the computer simulation from the

first study. The findings from the second study repeated those of the first study. In postcodes in which residents were stable and had relatively low incomes, participants who had a narrow, deep friendship strategy reported greater well-being than those who had a broad shallow friendship strategy.

32. Why do most Americans have a large social network?

A. Because they often change the places they live.

B. Because they enjoy travelling very much.

C. Because of the cheap cost of network.

D. Because of the need of their work.

33. According to the two studies, which of the following is the best for people who are economically

unstable?

A. Making a few close friends on Facebook.

B. Making a lot of close friends on Facebook.

C. Making a few shallow friends on Facebook..

D. Making a lot of shallow friends on Facebook.

34. The purpose of the researchers conducting the second study is to _________.

A. discuss the benefits of making real friends online

B. explore the possibilities of making real friends online

C. attempt to explain the functions of a social network

D. prove whether their theory still works in real life

35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Why is Facebook popular in America?

B. What are the benefits of making friends on Facebook?

C. How you make friends on Facebook could say something about your life.

D. The number of friends on Facebook could say something about your life.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

There is a collection of positive habits that make a person so successful in class.36.

Here are some habits of top students that you can use as tips to do better at school: First, 37. In college, homework assignments generally make up 5-20% of your grade, but can

be the biggest time- suck for most students. Working problems is one of the best ways to turn new concepts into working knowledge, but you’ll never see on an exam a large majority of those problems that take you hours and hours to work through.

Second, they never“read through” the textbook. Per time spent, reading the textbook is one of the least effective methods for learning new materials. 38, but otherwise use Google, lecture notes, and old exams for study materials.

Third, they test themselves frequently. Testing yourself strengthens your brain’s connections to new materials.39. Bottom line, repeated self-testing significantly improve long-term memory of new materials.

Last, they study in short bursts, not long marathons. Studying in short burst tends to help you focus strongly because you know there is at least a short break coming. 40, which makes studying continuously for multiple hours on end.

A. It helps relax our mind.

B. they always focus on their homework

C. they don’t always do all of their homework

D. Top students use examples and practice problems

E. This also fits in nicely with our natural activity or rest cycle of our bodies

F. It gives you immediate and clear feedback on whether you know something or not

G. An accumulation of such habits can combine to produce high-level academic performance

There is a disease sweeping the world today that is killing far more people than any other, 61

The WHO has stated that of the 56.5 million62(die) per year around the world, over 50 percent of these are caused by diseases63(close) associated with unhealthy diet and lack of exercise and 64 many of these deaths could be prevented.

作文范文：

Dear Peter,

I’m Li Hua, a high school student in China. I’ m glad to learn that you want to pay a visit to China during the summer vacation and that you are in need of a Chinese student who can be your guide. I think nobody is more qualified than me. Here are the reasons for it.

First, I have been learning English for many years and I can speak it fluently. Therefore, there will be no difficulty in communicating between us. Second, I have not only learned about many places of interest in China, but also traveled around these places. As a result, I know much about them and can share my knowledge with you.

I hope to have a good journey with you in the near future!

Yours Sincerely

Li Hua
