该项涂黑。

A

A captain of a boat lost his way in the middle of a storm. While trying to control

the ship and avoid sinking, he started feeling annoyed. The water became bigger; the noise of the water hitting the boat, like a feather carried by the wind, almost led him to hopelessness. But he did not give up and tried harder every time the waves hit the boat. In his desperate attempts to stay strong and keep the boat steady, he was unable to hear one of his crew officers yelling at him.

“Captain, Captain!”kept yelling the officer. He held on to one of the deck’s bars in order not to fall off the boat, “Captain, Captain!” insisted the officer. This time, while the officer was trying to approach him, a huge wave almost made the boat turn over and he fell and rolled on the deck till he luckily found another bar to hold on to. After several attempts, the officer finally was able to reach his fighting and tired captain, who had started to yell out his frustration and thoughts to the angry waves.

“If I am a good and hard-working man, why does this happen to me? And why can’t I get out of this one? I have been sailing the open ocean for years to fish the best catch and get support for my family!! Why, why, why?!!!”

At that moment, his crew officer was able to catch the captain’s shoulder and make him turn so that the captain could hear him.

“Captain, Captain!” yelled again the officer.

The captain looked at him angrily because the officer distracted him from his difficult task.

“What do you need, officer? Don’t you see I am trying to control the ship and find our way back?” complained the captain.

His officer kept holding on to the captain and pointed at the opposite direction, towards the stern (船尾)。

“Captain!” he replied. “The lighthouse is right over there, on the other side. We are going in the wrong direction!!”

The best title of the text would be “__________”.

A. The Boat

B. The Captain

C. The Lighthouse

D. What was wrong?

22. Why was the captain angry with his crew officer?

A. He didn’t want to be disturbed.

B. He was trying to keep the balance.

C. The crew officer shouted too loudly.

D. The crew officer made the boat shake.

23. According to the officer, what was the problem with the boat?

A. It was like a feather carried by the wind.

B. It was not going in the right direction.

C. There were not enough sailors at that time.

D. There was something wrong with the engine.

24. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A. To describe the background of the story.

B. To describe the terrible weather the captain met.

C. To describe the challenges the captain was meeting with.

D. To describe how the captain struggled to help his crew.

B

You've heard of the fat suit and the pregnancy suit；now meet AGNES—the old person suit.

AGNES stands for “Age Gain Now Empathy(换位体验) System” and was designed by researchers at MIT's AgeLab to let you know what it feels like—physically—to be 75 years old.“The business of old age demands new tools,” said Joseph Coughlin, director of the AgeLab. “While observations and surveys can help you understand what the older consumer needs and wants，young marketers never get that ‘Ah ha!’moment of having difficulty opening a jar, or getting in and out of a car. Tha t’s what AGNES provides.”

Coughlin and his team carefully adjusted the suit to make the wearer just as uncomfortable as an old person who has spent a lifetime eating poorly and not doing much exercise. Special shoes provide a feeling of imbalance，while braces on the knees and elbows limit joint mobility.(关节灵活性） Gloves give the feeling of decreased strength and mobility in the hands and wrists，and earplugs make it difficult to hear high-pitched sounds and soft tones. A helmet with straps(带)attached to it presses the spine(脊柱)，and more straps attached to the shoes decrease hamstring(腿筋) flexibility, and shortens the wearer's step.

AGNES has been used most recently by a group of students working on a design of an updated walker. By wearing the suit they could see for themselves what design and materials would make the most sense for a physically limited older person. Coughlin said the suit has also been used by clothing companies, car companies and retail goods companies to help them understand the limitations of an older consumer.

“AGNES is not the fortune of everybody,” he said.“She is a badly behaved lady who didn't eat and exercise very well. A secondary benefit we’ve found with AGNES is that it has become a powerful tool to get younger people to invest in their long-term health.”

25. AGNES has been developed to .

A. make the users more comfortable

B. let us understand old people better

C. help old people move more quickly

D. produce new tools for the old-age business

26. “An updated walker”(underlined)most likely refers to .

A. someone who travels a lot

B. a physically limited old person

C. some equipment that helps old people walk

D. a company whose service involves old people

27. Which may be a fact resulting from the “secondary benefit” of AGNES?

A. Young people respect old people.

B. Old-age business improves their service

C. Old people eat and exercise well.

D. Young people eat and exercise well.

C

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob (快闪族). Don’t be confused

by their name. Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.

Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May, 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003—after the first attempt was foiled at Macy’s department store. Following this, about 200 people flooded the hall of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a bus trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises. Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to make fun of hipsters(赶时髦的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”.

Though flash mobs were firstly regarded as pointless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters(反对者) can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events.

Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and fantastic, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have big economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product. The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michael’s famous song Beat It together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

28 . The underlined word “foiled”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”.

A. forgotten

B. prevented

C. announced

D. confirmed

29. Which of the following could most possibly be a flash mob according to the passage?

A. Sixteen people get together quickly on the square and do jumping and singing and leave there suddenly.

B. A group of people are busy giving out leaflets of a brand to those walking in front of them.

C. Some tourists plan for months and go mountaineering on the first day of Horse Year.

D. Protesters from different factories sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wage.

30. The main purpose of the passage is __________.

A. to entertain

B. to encourage

C. to inform

D. to persuade

31. What can you learn about the flash mob from the passage?

A. The flash mob usually breaks up quickly for lacking enough time.

B. It gives people the chance to come together to do something unusual.

C. The flash mob can be made use of in many fields just for fun.

D. Once the place for the activity is determined, it can’t be changed.

D

In countries like the United States, essays have become a major part of a formal education in the form of free response questions. Secondary students in these countries are taught structured essay formats (格式) to improve their writing skills, and essays are often used by universities in these countries in selecting applicants. Essays are also used to judge the mastery and comprehension of material. Students are asked to explain, comment on, or assess a topic of study in the form of an essay. During some courses, university students will often be required to complete one or more essays that are prepared over several weeks or months. In addition, in fields such as the humanities and social sciences, mid-term and end-of-term examinations often require students to write a short essay in two or three hours.

In these countries, so-called academic essays, which may also be called "papers", are usually more formal than literary ones. They may still allow the presentation of the writer's own views, but this is done in a logical and factual manner, with the use of the first person often discouraged. Longer academic essays (often with a word limit of between 2,000 and 5,000 words) sometimes begin with a short summary analysis (总结分析) of what has previously been written on a topic, which is often called a literature review.

One of the challenges facing US universities is that in some cases, students may hand in essays which have been purchased from an essay mill (or "paper mill") as their own work. An “essay mill” is a ghostwriting service that sells pre-written essays to university and college students. Since plagiarism(剽窃)is a form of academic dishonesty or academic fraud, universities and colleges may look into papers suspected to be from an essay mill by using Internet plagiarism detection software, which compares essays against a database of known mill essays and by orally testing students on the contents of their papers.

32. From the first paragraph, we can conclude that in countries like the United States, __________.

A. writing essays is a basic skill since primary school.

B. college students are often required to finish an essay within two or three hours.

C. students are not allowed to buy or sell an essay.

D. essays serve as an important education tool.

33. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Literary essays are usually less formal, and are longer than academic essays.

B. The writer of an academic essay is not allowed to express his or her own views.

C. Academic essays are usually more formal than literary essays.

D. The use of the first person is discouraged in literary essays.

34. According to the second paragraph, a literature review is actually __________.

A. a summary analysis of what has been said about a topic

B. a summary analysis of literature and art

C. a summary analysis of what a writer is going to say about a topic

D. a summary analysis of 2000 to 5000 words

35. From the last paragraph, we can know that __________.

A. all the papers students have handed in will be looked into

B. students are orally tested before they hand in their papers

C. some of the pre-written essays may exist on the Internet

D. a “paper mill” is usually situated close to universities or colleges

End-of-year celebrations have been over. 37 . Next Christmas if we want to avoid the financial headache after all the parties are over, what should we do? Finance experts Paul and Alan share their advice on how to keep the silly season affordable while having the true spirit of Christmas.

Plan to spend.

“In our f amily, we make a list of all the people we would like to buy presents for and assign an amount to each. 38 .” says Alan. Paul agrees, adding, “The gifts don't have to be a new iPod. It's about the process of giving and spending time with friends and family.”

Give from the heart.

“I also believe the true spirit of Christmas is to be generous, but not silly,”says Paul, “and to give gifts ha s deeper meaning rather than pure dollar value. I love thinking of what this person would truly appreciate. 39 . Allan says, “My sister moved into her first house recently, so I bought her a drill. Nobody had ever thought of giving her a drill. She loved it very much.”

Be a card sharp.

“If you have difficulty controlling your credit card, change it for a debit card （借记卡）.” suggests Alan.“You use it like Visa or Mastercard but you can only spend your own money. 40 . If you do need a bit of credit, reduce the limit. I gave my daughter a credit card with a $500 limit. It can never blow out. But she's got it if she needs something for university, for example.”

A. And then finding that special item shows you really know him

B. Spend as much money as possible on gifts

C. Maybe again we spent more than budget

D. So it will help us survive holiday season hell

E. When it gets to zero, that's it—it gets rejected

F. Then we add it up to ensure we can afford it

G. Have a very merry and debt-free Christmas

Once there was a king who received a gift of two magnificent falcons(猎鹰) from Arabia. They were falcons coming from abroad and the most 41 birds he had ever seen. He gave the pretty birds to his head falconer to be 42 .

Months passed and one day the head falconer informed the king that 43 one of the falcons was flying grandly, soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not 44 from its branch since the day it had arrived.

I simply cut the branch where the bird was 56 .”

We are all made to fly—to realize our unbelievable 57 as human beings. But instead of doing that, we sit on our branches, holding on to the things that are 58 to us. The possibilities are 59 , but for most of us, they remain undiscovered.

So for the most part, our lives are ordinary instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling… So let us learn to 60 the branch of fear we are holding on to and free ourselves to the glory of flight!

As tour guide, I’m glad to tell you that more and more tourists are paying attentions

to environmental protection. Several years before, in one place of interest I saw

rubbish throwing away everywhere, such as waste paper and plastic bags. However, some

tourists climbed trees or picked up flowers. Some even scared or catch little animals.

What’s more, some of them made a fire to cook, which might cause a forest fire.

Recently great changes had taken place. Most tourists take rubbish away with them

while they leave. They no longer hurt little animals. Trees and flowers are well taken

care of. In the forest, smokers give up smoking so as not to start a fire. Now I sing

high praise for so good deeds.
