It’s easy to get nervous if you only focus on the grammar rules when you’re speaking. The key to relaxing when you are speaking is to talk about something that you find interesting. Third, practice what you want to say. If you are nervous, try to practice what you want to say to yourself a few times. It can make you more confident.OK, that’s all for today. Goodbye.Part ⅡLanguage KnowledgeSection A21.【答案】B【解析】句意为：快乐和成功总是会眷顾那些善于认清自己的优点和特长的人。

I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.“Who’s there ” I heard.“It’s Billy Let me in”The voice behind the 45 answered; “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.” Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming; I begged; “Aw; c’mon; Mom I’m 46 your son.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A; B; C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.APlanning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events; concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival 19 Oct. cost £169.15 at Booking. A week later; the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen; which allow you to search for events in the UK by city; date and category.STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train; you may want to find a good base close to the station; but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance; the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon; a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London; Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune; especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile; available for £420 for five days in late September; with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention; but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace; saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours and Cardiff free for up to 30 minutes; or £5 per day. 358 words56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation57. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.A. a hotel away from the train stationB. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destinationD. the name of a travel agency58. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September59. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours60. The main purpose of the passage is __________.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsBIn my living room; there is a plaque 匾that advises me to “Bloom 开花where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s; when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville; Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County; Kentucky; Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan; I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey; I crossed the same railroad track five times; giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains; I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school; all gloom 忧郁disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner”lunch. In case you don’t know; poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild; especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification; Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward; she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory; as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal; she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom 传家宝; but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. 360 words61. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college62. In the journey; the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the long trackB. the poor housesC. the same trainD. the winding road63. Upon arriving at the classroom; the author was cheered up by __________.A. a warm welcomeB. the sight of poke greensC. Dorothy’s latest projectsD. a big dinner made for her64. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraphA. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.C. She passed the required assessment.D. She received her Ph. D. degree.65. What does the author mainly intend to tell usA. Whatever you do; you must do it carefully.B. Whoever you are; you deserve equal treatment.C. However poor you are; you have the right to education;D. Wherever you are; you can accomplish your achievement.CIt’s such a happy-looking library; painted yellow; decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven; it’s pedestrian-friendly; too; waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates; along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built with love.A year ago; shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization; a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available; she announced to her family of four; “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break”Son Austin; now a 10th-grader; didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted; and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses; and made a door of glass.After adding the library’s final touches 装点; the family hung a signboard on the front; instructing users to “take a book; return a book;” and making the Henriksen library; now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2;500 in the world; the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read; a mix of science fiction; reference titles; novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them; keep in mind that you might not see it again;” said Janey; a stay-at-home mom.Since then; the collection keeps replenishing 补充itself; thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project’s best payoff; says Peter; are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”317 words66. In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”A. It owns a yellow roof.B. It stands near a sidewalk.C. It protects book lovers from the sun.D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.67. Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.A. a visit to Brian WilliamsB. a spring break with her familyC. a book sent by one of her neighborsD. a report on a Wisconsin-based organization68. The library was built __________.A. by a ship supply companyB. on the basis of toy horsesC. like a mailboxD. with glass69. What can we infer about the signboardA. It was made by a user of the library.B. It marked a final touch to the library.C. It aimed at making the library last long.D. It indicated the library was a family property.70. The passage tells us that the users __________.A. donate books to the libraryB. get paid to collect books for the libraryC. receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD. visit the library over 5 times on average dailyPart IV Writing 45 marksSection A 10 marksDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs; their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants; no entry qualifications are required; they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet; very few include any form of accreditation 认证.Currently offered by some famous universities; MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education; or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses; they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.However; it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable; with many courses offering only recordings of lectures; and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes; research projects or extensive library access. Besides; wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.Considering the challenges; some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate 蒸发. But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education; are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands; and are well worthy of serious consideration. 271 words71.MOOCs 72.no requirement73.cannot afford 74.no formal qualifications 75.potentials 76.providing77.Challenges 78.particularly difficult delivery 79.evaporating 80.consideringSection B 10 marksDirections: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.“Let’s Talk”：The Free Advice ProjectA few weeks ago; I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people：street performers; the Pigeon Guy; a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side; sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.A week or two later; I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.Lisa Podell; 32; started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment；she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.Podell admits that she was doubtful at first; but now she describes the project as mutually 相互地beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues; and they expect her not only to listen; but also provide real answers.Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor; Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.Sometimes; people walk around all day; keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York; which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart; especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen. 303 words81.

You didn’t wear anything when youarrived.”This really angered me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and 40 , “Can I go now?”“Yes,”Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so 41 that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch.42 I realized that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girls were walking toward our house. I ran to 43 behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was 44 the girls had passed by. I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.“Who’s there?” I heard.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the 45 answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.” Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, c’mon, Mom! I’m 46 your son. Let me in!”The door inched open and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your 47 about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I answered. (277 words)36.

Determined to solve this problem, 50 created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.The ball is made of 51 special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It’s lightweight, it’s flexible, and—52 important—it holds its shape.The One World Futbol needs no pump 53 won’t wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, 54 withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.Although it costs more to produce 55 a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries. (154 words)Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.APlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation57. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.A. a hotel away from the train stationB. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destinationD. the name of a travel agency58. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over £100 on average per day in late September59. Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.A. half an hourB. one hourC. one hour and a halfD. two hours60. The main purpose of the passage is __________.A. to tell visitors how to book in advanceB. to supply visitors with hotel informationC. to show visitors the importance of self-helpD. to offer visitors some money-saving tipsBIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)61. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college62. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the long trackB. the poor housesC. the same trainD. the winding road63. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.A. a warm welcomeB. the sight of poke greensC. Dorothy’s latest projectsD. a big dinner made for her64. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.C. She passed the required assessment.D. She received her Ph. D. degree.65. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.C. However poor you are, you have the right to education,D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.CIt’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”(317 words)66. In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?A. It owns a yellow roof.B. It stands near a sidewalk.C. It protects book lovers from the sun.D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.67. Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.A. a visit to Brian WilliamsB. a spring break with her familyC. a book sent by one of her neighborsD. a report on a Wisconsin-based organization68. The library was built __________.A. by a ship supply companyB. on the basis of toy horsesC. like a mailboxD. with glass69. What can we infer about the signboard?A. It was made by a user of the library.B. It marked a final touch to the library.C. It aimed at making the library last long.D. It indicated the library was a family property.70. The passage tells us that the users __________.A. donate books to the libraryB. get paid to collect books for the libraryC. receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD. visit the library over 5 times on average dailyPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs, their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet, very few include any form of accreditation (认证).Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.“Let’s Talk”：The Free Advice ProjectA few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people：street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment；she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.

supply visitors with hotel informationC．to show visitors the importance of self-helpD．to offer visitors some money-saving tipsBIn my living room，there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted．” It reminds me of Dorothy．I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s，when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville，Kentucky．The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program．Dorothy stands out in my memory as o ne who “bloomed” in her remote area．Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County，Kentucky，Appalachian Mountain area．To get to her school from the town of Harlan，I followed a road winding around the mountain．In the eight-mile journey，I crossed the same railroad track five times，giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train fivetimes．Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains，I found it depressing．The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness．From the moment of my arrival at the little school，all gloom (忧郁) disappeared．Upon arriving at Dorothy‟s classroom．I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen．The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects．Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch)．In case you don‟t know，poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild，especially on poor ground．Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students．Her enthusiasm never cooled down．When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification，Dorothy was ready．She came to the assessment and passed in all areas．Afterward，she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory，as if she had received her Ph．D．degree．After the meal，she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand．She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝)，but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things．(360 words)61．“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______．A．a program directed by DorothyB．a course given by the authorC．an activity held by the studentsD．an organization sponsored by Union college62．In the journey，the author was most disappointed at seeing _______．A．the long track B．the poor housesC．the same train D．the winding road63．Upon arriving at the classroom，the author was cheered up by _______．A．a warm welcome B．the sight of poke greensC．Dorothy‟s latest projects D．a big dinner made for her64．What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A．She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant．B．She got a pen as a gift from the author．C．She passed the required assessment．D．She received her Ph.D.degree．65．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A．Whatever you do，you must do it carefully．B．Whoever you are，you deserve equal treatment．C．However poor you are，you have the right to education，D．Wherever you are，you can accomplish your achievement．CIt‟s such a happy-looking library，painted yellow，decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof．About the size of a microwave oven，it‟s pedestrian-friendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates，along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens．It‟s a library built with love．A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization，a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available，she announced to her family of four，“That‟s what we‟re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin，now a 10th-grader，didn‟t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox．But Janey insisted，and husband Peter unwillingly got to work．The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he‟d built years earlier for daughter Abbie‟s toy horses，and made a door of glass．After adding the library‟s final touches (装点)，the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to “take a book，return a book，” and making the Henriksen library，now one of several hundred like itnationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world，the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County．They stocked it with 20 or so books they‟d already read，a mix of science fiction，reference titles，novels and kids‟ favorites．“I told them，keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey，a stay-at-home mom．Since then，the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers．The library now gets an average of five visits a day．The project‟s best payoff，says Peter，are the thank-you notes left behind．“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular．”(317 words)66．In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?A．It owns a yellow roof．B．It stands near a sidewalk．C．It protects book lovers from the sun．D．It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations．67．Janey got the idea to build a library from _______．A．a visit to Brian WilliamsB．a spring break with her familyC．a book sent by one of her neighborsD．a report on a Wisconsin-based organization68．The library was built _______．A．by a ship supply companyB．on the basis of toy horsesC．like a mailboxD．with glass69．What can we infer about the signboard?A．It was made by a user of the library．B．It marked a final touch to the library．C．It aimed at making the library last long．D．It indicated the library was a family property．70．The passage tells us that the users _______．A．donate books to the libraryB．get paid to collect books for the libraryC．receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD．visit the library over 5 times on average dailyPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs，their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants，no entry qualifications are required，they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet，very few include any form of accreditation(认证)．Currently offered by some famous universities，MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education，or who do not have formal qualifications．They also allow participants to study at their own pace．The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast — they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation．They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses，they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education．However，it is still very early days for MOOCs．The quality of the education provision is highly variable，with many courses offering only recordings of lectures，and delivery is particularly difficult in somespecial fields that require practical classes，research projects or extensive library access．Besides，wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource．Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class．Considering the challenges，some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发)．But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education，are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands，and are well worthy of serious consideration．(271 words)Section B (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．“Let‟s Talk”：The Free Advice ProjectA few weeks ago，I took a walk around Washington Square Park．I met all the usual people：street performers，the Pigeon Guy，a group of guitarists singing in harmony．But off to the side，sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice．A week or two later，I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length．Lisa Podell，32，started the Free Advice Project this past May．It began as an experiment；she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice”as a simple way to reach out to people．Podell was astonished at the strong response．Podell admits that she was doubtful at first，but now she describes the project as mutually(相互地) beneficial．People learn from her — but she also learns from them．She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues，and they expect her not only to listen，but also providereal answers．Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor，Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process．Sometimes，people walk around all day，keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way．Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective．I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project．Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York，which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city．It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart，especially in New York — where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen．(303
