He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.'' His voice dropped a bit. ''When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had an old truck which was older than he was. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he drove toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!''He paused and then went on, ''I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, 'No, Dad. I‟m too old for a goodbye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.''''My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out the windshield (挡风玻璃). 'You're right,' he said. …You are a big boy....a man. I won't kiss you anymore.‟''Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. ''It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the ships or boats stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat floating with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a gale (狂风) and was trying to save the nets and the floats.''56.

Terrified.BAmerican teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his sophomore year at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin class, he quickly changed his mind.''I thought it would be more useful than Latin,'' said Cheatham, who is now in his second yearof studying the language.He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read Face book posts from his Chinese-speaking friends.While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be a valuable thing in his career.''Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,'' he said. Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.''People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing,'' said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. ''We're seeing it in all parts of the country.''The number of students studying Mandarin in public schools nationwide in grades 7 through 12 grew from 20,000 in 2004-2005 to 60,000 three years later, according to the council's most recent survey.Abbott estimates that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin, in public and private schools, throughout the nation.She said the US government has considered Mandarin to be an ''important needs'' language and provides professional development programs for teachers.''Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness, ''Abbott said.At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes established in many states.The Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas, founded in 2007, opens Confucius Classrooms at 11 local public and private schools where more than 700 students are learning Mandarin.61. Why does the writer mention Thomas in the passage?A. To tell us how changeable he is.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To introduce his college life.D. To tell us Latin is less popular now.62. Many experts in America agree that _______.A. Mandarin is becoming more beneficial than LatinB. Mandarin is very difficult to learn for most American studentsC. Mandarin will be of some help to American students in the global economyD. China is a competitor of America in culture63. Why does Mandarin become so popular in America?A. Because Mandarin is more interesting than Latin.B. Because there are many good teachers in the Confucius Institutes.C. Because Mandarin is very helpful in the global economy.D. Because the Chinese government has tried his best.64. From the passage we know that Confucius Institutes _______.A. have trained 100,000 students to learn Mandarin in AmericaB. provide professional development programs for teachersC. have been established in many states in AmericaD. were founded in 200765. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. An increasing number of students in America are learning Mandarin.B. Confucius Institutes have been established in many states in America.C. Latin is less popular in America now.D. China now is becoming a growing power.CYou don't need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives, such as the way we shop．Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist．Let's see what's in store for your future shopping．Try it on, virtually （虚拟的）．Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't need to guess which pair looks best on you ---use the eBay Fashion iPhone app （程序）to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face．But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body．You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience．Get a perfect, custom fit．Everyone's body is shaped differently．To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed．But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly．Some companies scan your body using High-tech to get the most accurate measurements, so they can make special clothes just for you．High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters．High-tech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets．Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test．The cart can follow you along the aisles （通道）, controlled merely by your movement and your voice．In China, a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles．In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop．While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner．The machine identifies a product as soon as it's placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code．66．What's the best title for this text?A．Ways for future shopping B．Influence of new technologyC．Inventions to change habits D．A new time-traveling machine 67．According to Paragraph 2, The eBay Fashion iPhone app can _____．A．make vivid pictures of our face B．help us sell more clothes onlineC．create us a virtual dressing room D．choose suitable eyeglasses for us 68．Which of the following can get the most accurate shape of our body?A．Object Recognition Scanner．B．The eBay Fashion iPhone app．C．3D scanning technology．D．Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts．69．The Object Recognition Scanner can identify a product more quickly by____．A．the customer's voice B．its shape and colorC．the customer's movement D．the bar code on it70．What can we infer from this text?A．Checkout counters will disappear from supermarkets in future．B．Buyers can use Scan It to go around the supermarket by themselves．C．High-tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets．D．The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true．DIf you're in Florence, Italy, and see a man on a ladder wiping the dust off statues and buildings, don't worry．It's just Alessandro Ricci gathering material for his famous smog paintings．Ricci is not a common artist, because he used smog as the main medium of his artworks．Unlike other painters seeking fast recognition of their talent, he doesn't really care about "being this big artist"．Instead he is more concerned about bringing attention to how much smog there really is in his home town and how it's destroying both its monuments and people．Although he did take a couple of art classes a few years back, he is mainly self-taught, doesn't work in a studio, donates most of his work, and refuses to play by the rules of the Florentine Art Gallery, which he considers dishonest．Alessandro Ricci believes selling his smog paintings will not only compromise his belief, but also oppose the very thing he's trying to do---raise awareness about smog pollution in this city．Alessandro lives with his parents nearby Florence, but almost every day he visits the streets of the city, and collects smog for his paintings．He gets it from several meters above ground, from clean surfaces like marble, plastic and stone, using damp pieces of cotton．Then he applies the smog directly onto a cloth and creates street scenes and reproductions of the very buildings from which he got the dangerous material．Finally, he seals his paintings with a natural resin （树脂）．His actions helped win a small victory for the people of Florence, as in October 25,

If not properly dealt with, loneliness may result in mental problems among some students.You can always find lonely students around us. They lack physical and mental energy and show no interest in doing anything. Usually, they speak very little and being timid, they refuse to deal with things actively. Some have a cold attitude toward others or even hide themselves from society.The reasons why students feel lonely are probably as follows. Some of the lonely students lack the company of their parents who are busy with their work. When in trouble, they can find nobody to turn to. Besides, some suffer from a lot of pressure in their studies, which also can make them hopeless and helpless.When it comes to loneliness, I am no exception. However, whenever I feel lonely, I will remind myself of what happy things I want to do. For example, I can go skating, walk my dog or have good food to remove my loneliness.听力原文：Text 1W: Waiter, can you come here for a second, please?M: What’s the problem, ma’am?W: This soup is cold.M: I’m sorry.

The score was two to one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O'Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O'Donnel had scored!Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie (平局). For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie. Everybody won."36. What was the result of the soccer match?A. Two to two, equal to both the teams.B. Three to one in Mickey's team's favor.C. Two to one in the opposite team's favor.D.

Mickey would again hug the opposing players.D. The opposite team would laugh at Mickey's goal.38. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. both teams liked and respected MickeyB. both teams were thankful to Mickey's goalC. Mickey didn't mind though his goal was wrongD. Mickey was a kind-hearted boy and hoped everybody won39.

But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louver Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since ex perts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louver by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World WarⅡ, the French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.44. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa ________.A. will lose its valueB. is being damaged after so many yearsC. will rot awayD. is getting more valuable with years passing45. The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen ________.A. by indirect visionB. at a distanceC. by direct visionD. in shadows46. Choose the right order about the happenings onto Mona Lisa.a. It was stolen from the Louver.b. Its painter sold it to King Francis I.c. Its state of health was checked.d. It was returned to France and housed in the Louver Museum.e. It was hidden and protected against Germans.A. b-a-d-e-cB. d-e-c-b-aC. d-a-e-c-bD. b-c-a-d-e47. It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting in that ________.A. experts haven’t noticed changes in its shape as visitors doB. it is likely to be stolen again when it’s under repairC. it is uncertain which country, Italy or France, should take chargeD. experts aren’t sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paintDImagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fort unately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (标签). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting---whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source---batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, which sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.48. The article is meant to_______.A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technologyB. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technologyC. convince people of the uses of RFID technologyD. predict the applications of RFID technology49. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people_______.A. will have no trouble getting data about othersB. will have more energy for conversationC. will have more time to make friendsD. won’t feel shy at parties any longer50. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of _______.A. scanning devicesB. radio wavesC. batteriesD. chips51. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.B. Because market competition will become more fierce.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.EUntil I was twelve years old, I thought everyone in the world knew about the grinnies, if I thought about the term at all — which is unlikely. After all, everyone in my family used the word quite naturally, and we understood each other. So far as I knew, it was a word like any other word — like bath, or chocolate, or homework. But it was my homework which led to my discovery that grinnies was a word not known outside my family.My last report card had said that I was a “C” student in Eng lish, and my parents, both teachers, decided that no child of theirs would be just an average student of anything. So nightly I spelled words aloud and answered questions about the fine points of grammar. I wrote and rewrote and rewrote every composition until I convinced my mother that I could make no more improvements. And the hard work paid off. One day the teacher returned compositions, and there it was —a big fat, bright red “A” on the top of my paper. Naturally, I was delighted, but I didn’t know I w as attracting attention until the teacher spoke sharply, “Helen, what are you doing?”Called suddenly out of my happy thoughts, I said “Oh, I’ve got the grinnies!” The teacher and my classmates burst into laughter, and then I understood that grinnies were used inside my family. Other people were not so lucky.And it is really lucky to have the grinnies, an uncontrollable, natural state of great pleasure. Grinnies are shown on the outside by sparkling eyes and a wide, wide smile — not just any smile, but one that shows the teeth and stretches the mouth to its limits. A person experiencing the grinnies appears to be all mouth. On the inside grinnies are characterized by a feeling of joyful anxiety. Grinnies usually last just a few seconds, but they can come and go. Sometimes, when life seems just perfect, I have occasional attacks of the grinnies for a whole day.The term originated in my mother’s family. Her younger sister, Rose, who had deep dimples (酒窝), often expressed her pleasure with such a grin that the dimples appeared to become permanent. When Rose was about four, she started explaining her funny look by saying, “I have the grinnies”. The term caught on, and it has been an important word in our family now for two generations.The occasion doesn’t matte r. Anything can bring on the grinnies —just so long as one feels great delight. When my brother finally rode his bicycle —without training wheels —from our house to the corner and back, he came home with the grinnies. When I was little, my mother’s announcement that we would have homemade ice cream for dessert always gave me the grinnies. My father had the grinnies when I was chosen to make a speech at the end-of-school-year ceremony. Grinnies can be brought on by a good meal, a sense of pride, a new friend, a telephone call from someone special, an achievement. Or sometimes one gets the grinnies for no reason at all: just a sudden sense of happiness can bring on a case. Whatever brings them on, a n attack of the grinnies is among life’s greatest pleasures.In fact, now that I look back on the experience, I feel sorry for my seventh-grade teacher. I think it’s a pity that she didn’t know the word grinnies. It’s such a useful term for saying, “I’m really, really pleased!”52.
