Lots of kids at the same age as you are. Not only are students in China 16 from this problem, but kids in the United States are 17 fed up with heavy school bags.Experts are starting to 18 that more and more young students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags 19 too heavy for them. “It’s hard for me to get up the 20 with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rich Hammond,21 11-year-old student in the US. Rich is among the students who have _22 backpackswith two straps(带子) to carry them, 23 a number of other students choose rolling backpacks. But even with rolling backpacks, 24 up stairs and buses with them is 25a problem for kids. Many of them have hurt their knees, backs or necks because ofheavy school bags.But how much is too 26 ? Experts say students should carry 27 more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight. Scott Bautch, a Wisconsin 28 doctor, said kids under 4th grade should 29 with 10 percent. But it’s also important that older kids don’t go 30 15 percent, because their bones are still growing. Bautch explained that there are other injuries caused by backpacks. “Kids are 31 their balance and falling down with these backpacks,” he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell the kids to only take 32 library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using worksheets or 33 workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is, as some 34 themselves suggested, to have no homework 35 !16.

Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too.”US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion, with consumers spending an average of $17.65, according to the National Federation estimates.Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.But this year, the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower sales — and has or dered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day.Last month, Soto, who also operates website , closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.36. The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means_______.A. sharp decrease in priceB. great fear for losing jobsC. global worry of floral storesD. sudden fall by a large amount.37. According to the author, Mother’s Day should be an occasion of_______ .A. a large family get-togetherB. a big annual holiday purchaseC. a great love showed to mothersD. a celebration among Americans38. This passage implies that Americans have ________ .A. met financial problems recentlyB. no longer bought flowers for mothersC. delivered flowers to every house for mothersD. cut back on spending because of having lost jobsBMany university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: . The advantage of using Loot is that there is some economical private housing. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is www. renting. couk.Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. If you are lucky to find a good one, he/ she will listen to your requirements and can save your time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.39. What is the advantage of using Loot?A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.C. Their website is designed mainly for students.D. There are some good bargains.40. A good agent can help you_______.A. know more peopleB. find cheap accommodationC. get the right accommodation quicklyD. get free information about most accommodations41.The information passed on by word of mouth is important because_________.A. it is better than that found through any other sourceB. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC. the final year students always offer better informationD. the landlords have little valuable informationCThey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories（配饰）. Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.”Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same —about 5 or 6 percent of spending — the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 perce nt cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years.She said, "When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There's also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago. "42. Professor Twiggy found that, compared with the 1960s, ____________________.A. people spend 30% less than they did on clothesB. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%D. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%43. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because ____.A. they get tired of themselves more quicklyB. TV shows teach them how to stay in shapeC. they feel much younger nowD. clothes are much cheaper than before44. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?A. They are often ignored by fashion designers.B. They are now more easily influenced by stars.C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.45. Which is the best possible title of the passage?A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans.B. The More Fashionable, the Less Expensive.C. Unexpected changes in Fashion.D. Boom of the British Fashion Industry.四．七选五 (共10分，每题2分)46 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 47 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 48 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.49 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them. 50 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself?

Enjoy your own club!C. Invite a designer to join you．D. What are you interested in?E. Some vacation is just around the corner．F. Then you need to pick a name for your club．G.

Some people go to fast food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners(路边小餐馆)for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t really a diner. It was only a food cart(手推车). People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late–night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late–night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuet Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters (柜台)and stools(板凳), and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition(另外), diners soon became permanent（永久的） buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.51. Why did people in the past usually go to diners? Which of the following is NOT the answer?A. They could eat quickly there.B. They just liked to eat out.C. It was cheap to eat there.D. It was interesting to eat there.52. Why is the first diner in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?A.Because it is spelled differently from “dinner”.B.Because the first diner was not a real diner,C.Because it is a new word.D.Because it is a special kind of restaurant.53. What meals did the first diner serve?A.Only breakfastB. Only lunchC.Only night-mealsD. All of the above54. According to the third paragraph, diners changed in _____ ways.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five(B)Mr. Black was the head of an office. He was very busy and often went to another city on business. He had no children and his wife stayed at home alone when he was out. The woman had nothing to do and was interested in others’ secrets. She always hoped to talk with somebody about it. And it often made her happy.Once Mr. Black was sent to the capital and he would stay there for half a year. His wife felt lonely and often went to the park. There she made friends with a few women like her and they often spent much time in chattering(聊天).It rained for nearly ten days one autumn. Mrs. Black could not go to the park to chatter. She had to stay at home and felt deeper loneliness. As soon as the rain stopped, she went to the park again and her friends were waiting for her there. They were happy to meet again and began to chatter.“The wall between my rooms and my neighbours (邻居) are very thin,” complained(抱怨)Mrs. Black, “and my neighbours can hear what we say in my rooms.”“That’s easy,” one of the women said. “You’d better hang some thick tapestries (挂毯) on the walls and they won’t hear anything, I think.”“I’m afraid I can’t agree with you,” said Mrs. Black. “I won’t be able to hear what my neighbours say if I do as you suggested!”55. According to the passage, which of the following about Mrs. Black is WRONG?A.Her husband had little time to stay with her.B.She had no children and no job.C.She was very happy every day .D.She felt lonely while her husband went out.56. Mrs. Black made friends with the women _____ .A.who were busy all the timeB.whose husbands went to capitalC.whose walls were very thinD.who also felt very lonely at home57. Mrs. Black complained that _____ .A.her husband didn’t love herB.her house was in dangerC.her neighbours could hear themD.her neighbours wanted to know her secrets58. Mrs. Black wouldn’t hang some thick tapestries because _____ .A.she hadn’t enough money to buy anyB.she didn’t think it useful to herC.she thought it was not necessary since she didn’t have any secretsD.she was afraid she couldn’t hear her neighbours(C)Dantes was wise enough not to fight for air. He kept his mouth shut. In his righthand he still held the knife. He quickly cut open the bag, got his arm out, and then his body. But he could not free himself from the stone; it was pulling him down. Then he reached down and cut the stone free, just as he felt that he was at the end of his strength. He rose quickly to the top of the water, while the stone pulled down to the bottom of the sea the bag which had almost become his gravecloth(寿衣) indeed.Dantes drew in the night air. Then he began to swim under the water so that he might not be seen. When he came up a second time he was nearly a hundred yards (英尺) from the place where he had first touched the sea. He saw above him a black and stormy sky over which the wind was driving the hurrying clouds. In frond of him lay the great ocean, black, fearful. Behind him, blacker than the sea, blacker than the sky, rose the Cateaud’If (伊夫堡), whose rocks like arms held out to seize him; and on the highest rock, was a lamp that lighted the forms (人影) of two men. He thought that they were looking at the sea; perhaps they had heard his cry. Dantes went down again under the water and remained there a long time.59. When he was nearly a hundred yards away he _____ .A.was very happyB.began to free himselfC.was sure he was safeD.was afraid of being found60. From the passage we can conclude that the rope must have tied the stone to _____ .A.his armB. his feet or his legsC. his headD. his hand61. Which of the following is the correct order?a.Dantes rose to the top the water for air.b.Dantes was tied in a bag and throw into the sea.c.He rose to the top again.d.He freed himself.e.He swam under the water.f.He stay under the water.A. b, d, a, e, f, cB. b, d, a, e, c, fC. f, c, e, a, b, dD. b, d, e, a, f, c(D)New Zealand is an English-speaking country. But the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found a dark-skinned people living there. These were the Maoris. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before —in the 14th century.For a long time the British government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony (殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britainafter that.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris' land. So in 1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years were very bad for the Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from the new diseases broughtby the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200, 000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42, 000.62. The Maoris began to live in New Zealand ____.A. after 1770B. before 400C. in the 1300sD. 1400 years ago63.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Perhaps you’ve tracked how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve 51 in a day.If so, you’ve 52 a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.”Individuals gather information about their daily activities in this widespread movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound 53 , but technology is making the process easier.Perhaps you’ve wanted to 54 a bad habit and couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze it to help get a 55 lifestyle.Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly 56 wearable gadgets(工具), are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone UP, Google Glass or a smart watch to 57 personal data including hours slept, stress levels, heart rate and mood.So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to 58 what foods make him sleepy and modify his diet accordingly.Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. 59 , doctors have also helped patients to document parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health issues. 60 , it wasn’t until 2007 that Wired magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the 61 “Quantified Self.”Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its 62 . Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addiction(癖好). Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.While self-tracking doesn’t 63 that one’s quality of life will improve,it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. 64 , the Quantified Self Movement’s primary focus is 65 people to employ enough energy to make healthier choices.51. A. gathered B. managed C. eaten D. digested52. A. taken part in B. taken notice of C. known about D. carried out53. A. strange B. interesting C. valuable D. difficult54. A. change B. develop C. strengthen D. reduce55. A. happier B. healthier C. clearer D. simpler56. A. discovered B. tracked C. released D. built57. A. monitor B. analyze C. process D. record58. A. identify B. increase C. decrease D. choose59. A. Particularly B. Similarly C. Surprisingly D. Generally60. A. Furthermore B. However C. Therefore D. Meanwhile61.

At last65. A. stimulating B. forcing C. persuading D. motivatingSection BDirections: 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 you have just read.(A)In the 1850s, a vast wilderness separated California from the eastern U.S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow.William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks from extreme weather, hostile Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the rider s’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kansas. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided mealsfor people who were traveling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons for tired travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark. For a few dollars, you can tour the site. In a nearby visitor center, there is also a small gift shop and a theater where you can see films about the station.66. Why, mainly, did William Russell and his partners start the new service?A. To make mail delivery somewhat safer.B. To expand mail delivery to other nations.C. To dramatically speed up mail delivery.D. To reduce the high cost of mail delivery.67. What does this article imply about the work that the delivery people did?A. It continued for decades.B. It was widely imitated.C. It made investors rich.D. It was quite dangerous.68. What do we learn about Gerat Hollenberg from this article?A. The various fees that he charged.B. The age at which he went into business.C. The type of business he ran.D. The expenses which he had to pay.69. What has the Hollenberg Station become since the 1860s?A. A center for research.B. A tourist attraction.C. A set for movies.D. A social club.(B)It’s always great to experience a new location in a unique way. For those brave travelers who enjoy testing exciting stunts, rides and thrills, the members and editors of provided a list of the best spots to get an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush.70. Who provided the list of the spots in the article?A. The brave travelers who enjoy testing exciting stunts, rides and thrills.B. The travelers who like to travel around the world.C. The travel agencies in Switzerland, Costa Rica and Fiji.D. The members and editors of .71. Why do VirtualTourist members suggest taking Paraglide in Switzerland?A.

Because it is comfortable and exciting.72. According to the passage, which of the following do those who like wildlife prefer?A. Paraglide above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland.B. Zip line in Costa Rica.C. Surf Tavarua Island, Fiji.D. Bungee jump at the Macau Tower, China.73. What does the word “Restaurants” in the last paragraph refer to?A. A place where people can eat.B. A sport name.C. A surf spot.D. A famous wave’s name.(C)Social networks have found a promising new source of advertising income: targeting users with ads for products they browsed online.The latest form of advertising, called “retargeting,”is expected to not only get more common, but increase worries over privacy.Most people are aware they are being watched online. They also know that the marketers who are tracking their movements are going to show them ads tailored to their interests.But many say it’s frightening when an ad for the product they eyed on one websitebegins popping up on Facebook. Analysts say these ads are only going to multiply because they are potentially very profitable for social networks under pressure from investors.With its new service called “Tailored Audiences,”marketers can reach consumers who have shown an interest in their brands, the company said.Retargeting is still a small part of the overall online advertising industry but it’s growing quickly because shoppers are clicking on the ads, according to emarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.Whether Twitter users will enjoy seeing these personalized ads or will be set apart by the more intrusive tracking remains to be seen.Twitter said it would disable the service for users who check the “Do Not Track”option in their browsers. Twitter users can also choose not to receive “promoted content”– advertising that appears in tweets and in trends on Twitter – by adjusting their privacy settings.But retargeted advertising may be a wake-up call for many users to how much of a data trail they leave that marketers can now follow back to their accounts.That’s just why the strategy is so effective – and why social networks are rolling out such ads, analysts say.People are much more likely to buy something they were already shopping for, said Larry Kim, founder of marketing firm WordStream.Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo have been tracking users across the Web to show them retargeted ads for years. It’s a more recent phenomenon on social networks.In retargeting, marketers use small text files called cookies. When users look at a particular item on a website, a cookie is placed on their browser. Marketers can then target FaceBook and Twitter users who recently visited their websites.No identifying information about users changes hands, FaceBook and Twitter say.“If you see an ad in your feed from a website you visited, the website doesn’t know it’s you specially seeing the ad, just a group of people who visited the website,”Williamson said, “…For some people, that is going to be a problem. For others it is going to be a benefit.”74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Retargeting is helping social networks make advertising earnings.B. Retargeting is becoming more and more popular among young people.C. Retargeting plays a positive part in all the network users’ life.D. Retargeting ads are forcing Twitter users to leave the website.75. What does the phrase popping up in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. becoming popularB. appearing unexpectedlyC. attacking suddenlyD. tracking quickly76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. No identifying information about users changes hands.B. Retargeting is beneficial to a special group of people.C. The website you visited will keep your personal information for you.D. Whether retargeting is safe to network users is still unclear for sure.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Strategy of Network MarketingB. The Source of Advertising IncomeC. The Trend of Targeted AdvertisingD. The Difference between Internet GiantsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to Hong Kong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel – a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, the kids have classes. Delphine boasts that all of Bethel’s kids are fluent in English before turning 18.The Gauvains and their three kids moved to the Philippines in 2012 after devoting 10 years to Bethel China. They still remain involved with Bethel’s leadership. And in their new location, they have opened a community center to help train people with work skills.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Compared with those who make noble plans that end up going nowhere to bless others,the French couple’s difference is that ________________________________________________.79. The couple’s purpose of starting Bethel – a foster care program is______________________.80. Why did the children call the couple Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba?81. What else can the kids from Bethel do besides handling daily routines themselvesat the age of 18, according to Delphine?第II卷（共47分）I.
