并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.1. What dose the author intend to tell us?A. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. One can never be too careful.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his father’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.3. The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means“___________”.A. astonishedB. frightenedC. struckD. excited4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Accidental InjuryB. Mother’s DayC. Flower PowerD. An Embarrassing MomentBWalt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automaticallyassociated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此)her name.In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的)stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.”Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.5. How did Cinderella get her name?A. The Birds came up with it.B. It was given by Disney.C. She got it from her mother.D. It came from the word “ash”.6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.7. The moral of the original story is that ____________.A. a well-behaved child earns a great reward.B. a devoted person certainly deserves respect.C. a wicked person cannot escape punishment.D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love.8. What does the author think of the Disney version?A. Dull.B. OrdinaryC. Excellent.D. Ridiculous.CScientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total —fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and wherethe shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.9. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.A. what caused the shipping accidentB. whether it was all right to use their shoesC. when and where the shoes went missingD. how much they lost in the shipping accident10. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ___________________.A. phoning about any doubtful objects on the seaB. making records for any lost objects on the seaC. running a global currents research associationD. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world11. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.DSagrada Familia ( 2,056,448 visits/year)Opening hours: 09:00—18:00 (October—March);09:00—20:00 (April—September)Admission: $ 11, or $ 10 with the Barcelona Card.Disabled Access: Yes.The temples have been under construction since 1882 and they’ve still got another 30 to 80 years to go be fore it will be finished.

If that job was leftto any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a littlediscouraging.But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn moneyeven at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles asfuel—something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.York to join a theatre company, sheIt’s no surprise, then, that when she moved to Newfound herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of thisseemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted,confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world.

Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spiritis the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn’t constantly watched. The expectations of hermother (whoraised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless orthat she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her orthey basically ignored her. But there wasn’t one moment Duncan doubted her own genius.There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believingthat it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.56. What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean?A. Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.8B. Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.C. Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.D.

What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?A. It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.B. Everybody is a genius in his own way.C. Miseries come from human stupidity.D. Teachers can impact students greatly.59. What is this passage mainly about?A. Isadora Duncan’s childhood and her achievements today.B. Duncan’s career development and other dancers’ opinions of her.iences and the reasons for her success.C. Isadora Duncan’s early experD. Duncan’s high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.(B)Taking your pulse during physical activity allows you to measure how hard you are exercising.

Here are the steps for using the chart:?If you are doing moderate exercise , your heart rate should be closer to the 50% range.?If you are doing vigorous exercise , your heart rate should be closer to the 85% range. ?Try to stay in the 50–85% range when exercising by increasing or decreasing exercise intensity.Measure your exercise heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).Look at the chart.- Find your age. If your age falls between the ages listed, round up to the next older age listed. - Compare your heart rate to the target exercise range.?Use your index finger (食指) and middle finger. Don ’t use your thumb (拇指) —it has a pulse of its own.?Place these two fingers on your wrist, just below the base of the thumb. ?Count the number of beats (pulses) for 15 seconds.?Take this number and multiply by 4 to find your heart rate in beats per minute.

Just beyond the northwest edge of the vast Greenland Ice Sheet, researchers havediscovered lake mud that have survived the last ice age. The mud, and remains of common flies init, record two interglacial periods(间冰期)in northwest Greenland.Although researchers have long known these two periods—the early Holocene and Last Interglacial—experienced warming in the Arctic, the mix of fly species shows that Greenland waseven warmer than previously thought. “As far as we know, it has never been found in Greenland.We think this is the first time anyone has reported it in ancient deposits or modern lakes there,ow far north it migrated (迁徙).”Axford said. “We were really surprised to see hsensitivity to This new information could help researchers better measure Greenland’swarming, by testing and improving models of climate and ice sheet behaviour. Those modelss ice sheet might respond to man-made globalcould then improve predictions of how Greenland’warming. After all, Greenland covers 80 per cent of the Arctic country and holds enough ice toequal 20 feet of global sea level. “Northwest G reenland might feel really remote, but whathappens to that ice sheet is going to matter to everyone in every coastal city around the world,said Yarrow Axford, an associate professor in the team. “One of the big uncertainties in climate science is how fast the Earth changes when it gets warmer. Geology gives us an opportunity to seewhat happened when the Earth was warmer than today,” said Axford.12People might be surprised to see how today’s Greenland looked during the last two interglacial periods. During the Last Interglacial, global sea levels increased by 15 to 30 feet,ice sheets. However, now researchers largely due to thinning of Greenland and Antarctica’sice sheet experienced stronger warming than previously thought, believe northern Greenland’swhich could mean that Greenland is more responsible for that sea-level rise.Finding lake deposits older than about 10,000 years, however, has been historically very difficult in Greenland. To measure these ancient temperatures, researchers look to ice cores (冰核) and lake deposits. Since ice and lake deposits form by a gradual buildup on annual layers of snowor mud, these cores contain history of the past. By looking through the layers, researchers can obtain climate clues from centuries ago.63.Why are the remains of flies mentioned in the first two paragraphs?A. They serve as evidence that there is still life in the Northwest Greenland.B. They were one of the many ancient lives that were left in the Greenland mud.C. They are indicators that Greenland was much warmer than previously thought.D. They help the researchers realize that there was once a warm period in the Arctic.64.The new information about Greenland is important because______________.A. researchers have no idea how to measure Greenland’s warming speedto warmingB. it can help researchers better predict Greenland’s responseC. people should be more sensitive to the changes in the ice in GreenlandD. it is uncertain how fast the Earth changes with man-made global warming65.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. It is easier for today’s scientiststo find ancient lake deposits.B. People are surprised at the landscape feature of Greenland today.C. Researchers measure the changing temperatures by directly examining mud.D. Greenland holds enough ice that might one day threaten life in coastal cities.66.Which do you think is the best title of the passage?13A. Greenland Used to Be Much GreenerB. Earth Once Experienced Warm PeriodsC. Coastal Cities Warned of Coming DisastersD. Northwest Greenland, A Perfect DestinationSection C (8分)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.South Africa still has a long way to go on the right to foodA. As a result, questions of hunger are largely absent in South African politics.B. Handling food injustice requires a transformation of the undesirable structure of the foodsystem.C. Therefore, the government has put forward numerous food and nutrition security programs tofight against hunger.D. This means that smaller scale producers, processors and retailers are squeezed out.E. Hunger, lack of nutrition and related illnesses are not equally spread.F. There are international examples of governments taking their obligations seriously with regardto the right to food.Fifty-four percent of South Africans are hungry or at risk of hunger. Hunger affects people’s health, as well as their ability to live full and productive lives because the rights to dignity, healthand education are affected by hunger.______67_____ There are significant race, class and gender differences. For example, blackSouth Africans are 22 times more likely to be food insecure compared with white South Africans.Food insecurity is defined as not having physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe,and nutritious food that meets dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.This unequal distribution indicates a situation of severe food injustice in South Africa. Yetfrom the research with urban farmers it’s clear that people do not know of the right to food, anddon’t see unequal acces s to nutritious food as an injustice. ______68_____While there are14frequent protests around access to jobs, education, housing, water and electricity, we rarely, if ever,see protests about access to food.One of the drivers of unequal access to food is the way in which the industrial food systemworks. For example, a few large companies dominate each aspect of the food value chain.______69_____Because the large companies dominate the supply chain, they are able tomaximize profits at the expense of small-scale producers, to whom they pay very low prices.______70_____It needs to ensure that marginalized producers, processors and retailers havean opportunity to earn a decent living. At the same time corporate dominance needs to beaddressed.Anyway, at the most basic level, it requires that South Africans know they have a right tofood in the first place.IV. Summary writing (10分)71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of thepassage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Most of us — even those at the top — struggle with public-speaking anxiety. When I ask myclients wh at makes them nervous, invariably they respond with the same answers: “I don’t likebeing watched”, “I don’t like the eyes on me” or “I don’t like being in the spotlightTo understand why, we need to go way back to prehistoric times, when humans regarded eyeswatching us as an existential threat. Those eyes were likely predators (肉食动物) and people wereterrified of being eaten alive. The bad news is that our brains have transferred the ancient fear ofbeing watched into public speaking. In other words, public-speaking anxiety is in our DNA.Fortunately, there is a solution: human generosity. The key to disarming our panic button is toturn the focus away from ourselves and toward helping the audience. Studies have shown that anincrease in generosity indeed leads to a decrease in amygdala(扁桃腺) activity, which isresponsible for our panic feeling in the brain. When we are kind to others, we overcome the senseof being under attack and start to feel less nervous.olutely possible to become a generous speaker. To Admittedly, this is hard to do. But it’s absbegin with, when you start preparing for a presentation, the mistake you often make is startingwith the topic. Instead, you should start with the audience. Identify the audience’s needs a message that speaks directly to those needs. Also, you are the most nervous right before you15speak. This is the moment when your brain is telling you, “Everyone is judging me.” But it is exactly the moment when you should refocus your brain.

ABookstores are a traveller's best friend: they provide convenient shelter in bad weather, and they often host readings and other cultural events. Here is a look at world’s six greatest bookstores.Adrian Harrington—since 1971. Rare books; rare first editions; leather bound sets and general antiquarian (古玩). Address: 64A Kensington Church Street, Kensington, London, England, U.K.Another Country—Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany. Another Country is an English Language second hand bookshop which is mostly used as a library. They have about 20,000 books that you can buy or borrow. Some regular events are held at the shop, such as readings, cultural events, social evenings and film nights.Atlantis Books—Oía, Santorini, Greece. Atlantis Books is an independent bookshop on the island of Santorini, Greece, founded in 2004 by a group of friends from Cyprus, England, and the United States. Throughout the year it has hosted literary festivals, film screenings, book readings, and good old fashioned dance parties.Bart’s Books—Ojai, California, U.S.A. “The World’s Greatest Outdoor Bookstore”, a bookstore founded by Richard Bartinsdale in 1964. Shelves of books face the street, and regular customers are asked to drop coins into the door’s coin box to pay for any books they take whenever the store is closed.10 Corso Como—Milan, Italy. Extensive selection of publication on art, architecture, design, graphics and fashion, along with a strong emphasis on photography. It was founded in 1990 in Milan, Italy, by Carla Sozzani.The Bookworm—A bookshop, library, bar, restaurant and event space, now with four divisions in three cities—Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu. The interconnecting rooms with floor-to-ceiling books on every wall are light and airy in summer, yet warm and comfortable in winter.21. Which of the following bookstores has the longest history?A. Adrian Harrington.B. Atlantis Books.C. Bart’s Books.D. 10 Como Bookshop.22. What can you do in Atlantis Books?A. Attend a festival.B. Learn photography.C. Enjoy rare books.D. Buy books anytime.23. How is The Bookworm different from the other bookstores?A. It is used as a library.B. It hosts all sorts of activities.C. It focuses on photography.D. It has branches in different cities.BMany young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patter ns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.24. What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Inconsistent.B. Reasonable.C. Unusual.D. Similar.25. The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______.A. getting dirty is stylishB. looking fierce is beautifulC. strong people cut their skinD. American girls love shopping26. According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_______.A. care a lot about their appearanceB. put the beauty of eyes in the first placeC. pay great attention to their abilityD. are crazy about double eyelid surgery27. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Inner beauty is of great importance.B. Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.C. Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.D. Fashion magazines easily influence young people.CPati ents in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can’t be easily accessed.Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modifie d neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects’ brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.“The important point is that this is evid ence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It’s a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shoc k.The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.“Short-term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they’re unable to learn or store this memory.”28. What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?A. They are the pioneers of brain research.B. They have used the method in human trials.C. They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.D. They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.29. Why did the Alzheimer’s mice behave normally a third time?A. They failed to remember the electric shock.B. They were accustomed to the situation.C. They managed to overcome the fear.D. They activated the association.30. For long-term memory, the early Alzheim er’s mice _______.A. can activate their blood cellsB. can’t learn new tricks wellC. can easily get back their memoryD. can’t access the information stored31. The main purpose of the text is to _______.A. introduce a method of a researchB. report the latest discovery about a diseaseC. give advice on how to improve memoryD. explain how our brain stores informationDHalf off usually unaffordable products? Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner? That’s the magic of Groupon, but for some small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death. How could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance, but upon further inspection the numbersdon’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses. A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service, then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business. While Groupon has already received the profit in advance, the merchant is left waiting for their cut. Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50, which, in some cases, is being generous.When you break it do wn to numbers, a Groupon deal seems disastrous, but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about. The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers. Yet, does this actually happen? The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated, “I love the deals offered by Groupon! They can really save you so much money.” However, she went on to say that she hadn’t returne d once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses, the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers, who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years. When you break it down, Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price, but also that their product or service isn’t worth the price they’re charging for. When combining these factors, it’s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.Now I by no means say Groupon have bad effects on all businesses; however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.32. What is good about Groupon?A. It can offer a large discount.B. It helps add up the numbers.C. It can improve the quality of the product.D. It brings small business owners more profit.33. CFHS Junior Angelita Pope’s statement suggests that _______.A. small business owners needn’t worry about dealsB. people like using Groupon in the same businessC. the purpose of Groupon is to promote businessD. Groupon may not bring customers back34. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. New faces.B. Loyal customers.C. Groupon dealers.D. Small businesses.35. What could be the best title for the text?A. A new business trend—Groupon dealingB. The development of a Groupon companyC. The effects of Groupon on small businessesD. A fantastic shopping experience—Groupon第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
