Their teacher was trying to keep them in order. Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit.He walked into the station cafe. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down, facing a large mirror on the wall. Just then, John, one of Tom‟s friends, came in and sat with Tom.“What time is your bus?” asked John.“Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answer Tom.“Oh, I‟ll get you some more tea then,” said John.They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.“Good heavens! It‟s going back-ward!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it‟s half past eleven.”“You are looking at the clock in the mirror,” said John.Tom wanted to kick himself for being so foolish.

If you have the wish and really make a conscious(自觉的) effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “trick” works the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber(理发师) shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing(有趣的) in incidents caused by people‟s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness.

There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble.61.If you want to have a good memory, ________.A. you should force yourself to remember thingsB. you should make a conscious effort of practice and exerciseC. you should never stop learningD. you should try hard to remember things62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.

How to Get a Good MemoryB. “Tricks” of MemoryC. Forgetfulness and Absent-mindedness Is DangerousD. Get Rid of Absent-mindedness(C)Messages can be sent across the land by means of the electric telegraph; but you cannot put up a line of telegraph posts across the sea. Messages can be sent across the ocean by radio or by cable(电缆). The cable lies on the sea bottom and it has to have very good insulation. If any part of it is weak, the water will get through and stop all signals .The first cable under the sea was between England and France. It was laid（放置）in 1851. In 1851 engineers tried to lay a cable across the Atlantic Ocean, but they met a lot of difficulties. Halfway across the Atlantic the cable broke, and the ship that was laying it had to return.Kelvin advised that another cable ought to be laid. It was made ready, and put on board a big ship. Kelvin and his friends traveled with it and after many days of hard work, they reached America without breaking the cable. Kelvin himself sent the first message by cable from America to Britain. Unfortunately only 732 messages were sent through this cable before it broke.The next cable was laid in 1866, and this time there were no problems. The ship that laidit was the Great Eastern, one of the strongest ships that have ever been built. It was driven by powerful engines and also by sails .66.The undersea cable must be made strong enough to prevent ______.A. fishes from eating itB. enemy stealing itC. water getting through itD. others cutting it67.The first cable across the Atlantic _______.A. was the first undersea cableB. was only laid half- wayC. broke after only 732 messages were sentD. never broke68.The undersea cable Kelvin and his Mends laid was between______.A. England and FranceB. America and EnglandC. American and FranceD. England and Britain69.The cable that Kelvin and his friends laid went through ________.A. the Pacific OceanB. the Indian OceanC. the Atlantic OceanD. the Arctic Ocean70.This passage mainly tells us _______.A. how Kelvin laid the cableB. how the scientists discovered the cableC. the history of the cable in the worldD. how to lay the cable in the seaPART FOUR: WRITINGSection ADirections: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been proved that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no differencein taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor（香味）was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rat did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助餐厅）feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given what ever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what‟s best for them.Obviously, there is a …body wisdom‟, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around us. Research on eating habits71._______ To find out the relationship between the need of the body and eating.73._______SubjectsWays 72.Rats●Given two water bottles without difference in 74. . ●75. water with fragrant flavor and water with vitamins. ●76. water with vitamins to water without vitamins. ●Drink water with fragrant flavor first, then turn towater 77. .78. of 6-12 months Given whatever they pointed to or were interested in. 79. unusual eatingpatterns at first, later select awell-balanced diet.Conclusion Rats and babies have a 80. in selecting food.Section BDirections: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.TV viewers may no longer be able to hear English abbreviations (缩写), like "NBA" (National Basketball Association), from mainland broadcasters.China Central Television (CCTV) and Beijing Television (BTV) confirmed to China Daily on Tuesday that they had received a notice from a related government department, asking them to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs.The channels, however, did not reveal exactly how many English abbreviations are listed in the notice.The notice not only limits the use of English abbreviations in sports news, but also in economic and political news. Abbreviations such as "GDP" (gross domestic product), "WTO" (World Trade Organization) and "CPI" (consumer price index) will also be substituted （代替）with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.The move comes after a growing number of national legislators （立法委员）and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve （保存）the purity of the Chinese language."If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language won't remain pure in a couple of years," said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators' Association of China.The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars."It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization （全球化）," Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communication University of China, said on Tuesday. "It is cultural conservatism （保守主义）。

However, one man in Texas is reusing the trees for a good cause. Jamie Willis set up Canes (拐杖) for Veterans (退伍军人) Central Texas, an organization that makes free canes out of waste wood for veterans in need. Willis started the organization when he found himself in need of a strong cane, he told CBS News.Jamie Willis had served in the army for eight years, but was left disabled. He would use a cane to get around, but didn’t like the one he received from Veterans Affairs. He decided to ask for a suitable replacement (替代品) from the organization Free Canes for Veterans.

However, by the late Qing Dynasty they had been abandoned and nearly forgotten and many of the caves had become damaged by the elements. Around 1900, with the discovery of a library of thousands of ancient documents, the caves received new interest from Chinese and foreign researchers. Unfortunately, this resulted in tens of thousands of items from the caves being taken to foreign museums.In the 1940s, many researchers and artists visited the area to study traditional Chinese art.

An international team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling (捕鲸业) nearly caused them to disappear forever. “The ocean resources at South Georgia were heavily developed during the early 20th-century industrial whaling,” says lead author Susannah Calderan, an ecologist with the Scottish Association for Marine Science.Antarctic blue whales were plentiful in the area until whaling began there in 1904, kicking off the beginning of industrial whaling in the Southern Ocean. While hunters originally focused on species that could be easily caught, like the humpback whale, the focusquickly moved to the blue whale. Between 1904 and 1973, 345, 775 Antarctic blue whales were killed in the Southern hemisphere (半球) and in the northern Indian Ocean. Around South Georgia, blue whale catches were reported year-round without stopping. Between 1904 and 1971, industrial whaling caused 42, 698 blue whales’ death, blue whales almost disappeared in these areas.Researchers studied all Antarctic blue whale data from the last three decades. They examined sightings (目睹) from scientific surveys collected by observers on ships, as well as opportunistic. Sightings reported by sea men and ship passengers to South Georgia. They also examined acoustic (声音的) recordings of blue whales.They found that whale surveys from ships off South Georgia resulted in just one blue whale sighting between 1998 and 2018. But more recent surveys suggest better news. A survey in February of 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测). A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011and 2020.“Their return is very meaningful, as it was widely thought that blue whales at South Georgia might have been hunted beyond a point where they could recover, and. might never be seen again in great numbers at South Georgia,” Caldera n says. “Our research shows that, populations can recover even from very low levels if they’re given enough protection.”12．What does the underlined word “perceived” in paragraph l mean?A．Kept.B．Spotted.C．Hunted.D．Destroyed. 13．What does paragraph 2 mainly want to tell us?A．The wide spread of blue whales in the past.B．The development of industrial whaling.C．The cause of blue whales’ disappearance.D．The tricks of catching blue whales easily.14．What did the researchers find through their surveys in South Georgia?A．More and more people like watching blue whales.B．There is an increasing return of blue whales.C．Blue whales are in a more dangerous situation.D．South Georgia is a good place to watch blue whales.15．What might be discussed in the following paragraph?A．The risk of killing whales at higher rates.B．The signs of Antarctic blue whales’ return.C．The ways of protecting Antarctic blue whales.D．The great loss of ocean resources around the Antarctic.二、七选五While the road to success may differ for each individual, there are certain suggestions that can guide you along the way.16 .

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.AHave you ever ripped（撕坏）a dollar bill by mistake? If so, perhaps you can tape it back together. Sometimes money is damaged in such serious ways that it is nearly impossible for you to fix it. If you cannot repair paper money, you cannot use it. In that case, you have to send badly damaged money to a special government office in Washington, D.C..The people who work in this office sit at long tables under bright lights.Theirs main tools aremagnifying glasses and tweezers, whose job is to piece together the damaged bills.The workers try to find at least half of each of bill, otherwise the government will not pay the owner for it.This office is very busy, and averagely it handles about 30,000 cases per year. People may wait a long time before their case comes up, but it‘s worth it. The service is free, and you may get your money back.How is money damaged? Sometimes it is damaged in a fire.Then a person may have mostly ashes to send in. Sometimes money is damaged in a flood and then the bills are faded and stuck together. People have sent money that had gone through the washing machine. Some bills have been chewed by animals .More strangely, some others somehow got into blenders.Also, some people don‘t like banks, so they hide their money in unusual places. If bills are buried in cans, they sometimes get moldy. Mice often nibble（啃）at money hidden in attics（阁楼）and basements.Once, a truck carrying money for a bank exploded, which led to a big fire.The truck company sent in the remains of the bills, which were worth＄2.5million dollars.Thanks to the government workers, the company got a check for all the money.56.If you have some seriously damaged dollars you can ____________.A.ask the bank to exchange themB.also use them to buy thingsC.hide them in a safeD.have them repaired for free57.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?.A.The workers will use magnifying glasses and scissors to mend the bill.B.People have to wait for a long time before the bill is pieced together.C.Some paper bill ashes can also be sent to the governmetn offices to be repaired.D.The government workers helped the truck company to get back $2.5 million at last.58.The underlined word ―moldy‖ means____________ in Chinese.A. 柔软的B.干燥的C.发霉的D. 新鲜的59.In which column of a magzine can you read this passage?A. sciencecationC. newsD.finance60.What can be the best title of the passage?A. Don‘t rip your moneyB. How to deal with dollarsC. American money doctorD. Be careful with your moneyBFinally, I got a part–time job working at the local coffee shop. I had figured that the job would be easy. However, the actual situation was not what I had expected. The customers were hard to please. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skimmed milk. However, I kept at it.One rainy day, Hank, one of my regular customers, came in looking sad and defeated. I asked what the problem was and if we could help, but Hank wouldn‘t tell me any details. He just said he felt like going to bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few days. I knew exactly how he felt.Before he left, I handed him a bag of his favorite type of doughnuts along with his iced coffee. He looked at me skeptically because he hadn‘t ordered anything else except iced coffee.―It‘s on me,‖ I told him. ―Have a nice day.‖He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.The next day was a horrible one. The rain kept pouring down and I spent my afternoon hanging out the window, handing people their orders. What‘s worse, no one felt like tipping that day.However, around 7:00 pm, Hank drove up to the window. Instead of ordering anything, he handed me a single pink rose and a little note. He said that few people take the time to care about others nowadays and he was glad there we still people like me in the world. I was speechless and very touched;I hadn‘t thought that I had done anything incredible.The note read:Christine,Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday. I was sincerely touched by you. It is so nice to meet someone that’s nice, warm, sensitive and unselfish. Please don’t change your ways because I truly believe that you will excel. Have a great day!HankLater, I did come across more complaining customers. But anytime I felt sad or just sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, ―How can I help you?‖61. How did the author feel after he began to work at the coffee shop?A.Excited.B. Confused.C. Disappointed.D. Satisfied.62. What happened to the regular customer of the author?A．He was very homesick and had to stay in bed for some days.B．He was not satisfied with the coffee served to him.C．He was anxious to stay at home for a long time.D．He was not feeling himself for some reasons.63. What does the underlined word ―skeptically‖ probably mean in the passage?A. questioninglyB.hopefullyC. anxiouslyD. excitedly64. It was Hank who helped the author realize the importance of .A. patience in one‘s workB. not complaining about difficultiesC. taking time to care about othersD. sticking to one‘s own career65. What is the best title of the passage?A. A Warm–hearted ManB. Coffee Shop KindnessC. My Part–time JobD. A Horrible Raining DayCThe way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining(获得) real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment（承担的义务）, and self-improvement.Ask a bachelor（单身汉）why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be more and more satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night‘s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don‘t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating(解放的) realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes will do nothing to increase our happiness. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.66. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he is unwilling to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement67. Raising ch ildren, in the author‘s opin ion is ________ .A. a moral dutyB. a worthless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain68. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes comes from ________ .A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance69. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one‘s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun70. What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happinessPART FOUR 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.The time-consuming and daily chore(家庭杂务) of laundry could soon fade away in a near future, with an invention that generates the power of our own competitiveness. Lee Wei Chen, a 27-year-old student at Kingston University, London, has invented an extremely clever combination of a video game and a washing machine.Housed in the classic arcade(拱形)-game cabinet, the top half is a challenging coin-operated driving game, while the bottom half is a front-loading washer.Even if it was just a creative way to pass the time as the washing machine ran on, Mr. Lee's idea would be a worthy one.But wait, as advertisers say, there's more.Mr. Lee, originally from Taiwan, has linked the circuitry(电路) of the two machines, so the washing cycle is dependent on the proficiency(效率) of the gamer.If you show off the game's various levels, with a decent(体面) score and without losing precious lives, the laundry will be done in no time at all. But, if you stink (招人讨厌) at the game, your clothes will stink too. The washing machine will stop whenever it is in its cycle, and it will refuse to start up again until the gamer adds more money and continues to play.The idea came to Mr. Lee after he realized he had been wasting a good portion of his 27 years playing video games. He said: "I realized that the skills I had developed in the virtual world were useless in the real world. I wanted to make them useful."Parents may have difficulty getting their children out of the laundry—but at least their clothes will be very clean.SECTION B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.One man tells of driving on a long and lonely road, the last 65 miles of it unpaved, in order to watch Indian dances in the state of Arizona. After the dances, he returned to his car only to find that it had a flat tire. He put on the spare and drove to the only service station in that town.―Do you fix flats?‖ he inquired of the attendant.―Yes,‖ came the answer.―How much do you charge?‖ he ask ed.With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ―What difference does it make?‖This is what has been called a ―Hobson‘s choice‖. A Hobson‘s choice is a situation that forces a person to accept whatever is offered or go without.According to Barbara Berliner, the phrase was inspired by sixteenth-century entrepreneur (企业家) Thomas Hobson. There was no choice for the customer—it was strictly Hobson‘s choice.But often we really have a choice, and the choice does make a difference. We may not always believe it. We may feel as if we have no choice, but almost always there is a choice in the matter. And when we realize that we do most things by choice, then we are taking control of our own lives.Someone challenged me to try an experiment that completely chang ed my perspective. ―For the next seven days,‖ he said, ―Remove the words ‗I have to‘ from your vocabulary and say ‗I choose to‘. Don‘t say, ‗I have to work late tonight‘. Instead, say, ‗I choose to work late‘. When you choose to do it, you take control of your life. Instead of saying, ‗I have to stay home‘, try ‗I choose to stay home‘. The way you spend your time is your choice. You are responsible. You have control.‖In just seven days I was no longer saying ―I have to‖ and I felt better about my decision s. I learned that there is very little in my life I actually have to do. You and I decide to do certain things because we believe that it will be for the best. When we eliminate ―I have to‖ from our vocabularies, we take control.Try it for a week and you see what happens. I think you‘ll see it‘s a change for the better.81.

Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the “eyes”for a blind person or “ears”for a deaf people. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”.Americans hold “Be---Kind-to-Animals Week”in the first week of May.Pets shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick(踢)it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or beter yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to shop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.41.“A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!”meansthat__________A. pets have the right (权力) to inherit (继承) money.B. money can give pets happiness.C. it’s the best way to spend money.D. some pets are taken as children.42.Why are dogs brought to hospitals?A.

Let’s get a new pet to get along with it,” Mrs Brown said to her husband.“That sounds like a pretty good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see advertisem ents in the newspaper?”“ Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go,” she said.Next morning the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. “ We want to be sure that the pets here go to good ho mes,” Mr Snow said, “ So I need to ask you some questions.”After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn’t need a big house or a big yard. A small dog would bark and warn them if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care,they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn’t checked her yet. So Mr Snow told them to return on Sunday.On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said, “Shadow has had all of her shots (预防针).

Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Bicycles are very popular around the world today. People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment. In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work. In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities. But who invented the first bicycle?In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Sivrac invented and owned the first bicycle. Mrs. Sivrac rode the bicycle in Paris. The handles (把手) and the seat were wooden. This bicycle was very difficult to move. A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. Finally, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedalsfor the feet! Riding a bicycle was a great risk.In 1817, a German named Baron von Drais de Sauerbrun made the first bicycle better. The seat became more comfortable. The wheel could now change direction. His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot, which surprised people at that time.Sauerbrun brought this kind of bicycle from Germany to France. Then Denis Johnson, an Englishman, made a bicycle for women. It had space for their dresses to hang down. But these bicycles still had no brakes or pedals, and riders often got hurt. These bicycles and the people who rode them were not very popular.It took another forty-five years for the bicycle to become popular. More than 100 years later, bicycle riding is more popular than ever. In fact, in India and China, there are still many more bicycles than cars.The Great InventionTime 51 Items FeaturesIn 1791 53 the first bicycle 57 to ride52 Baron von Drais deSauerbrun the first bicyclemade 5558 to rideUnknow n 54 a 56 Having 59 for dressesto hang downFunctions of riding bicycles---for exercise, 60 and transportation SECTION B (10 marks)Section CDirections: Translate the following Chinese sentences into English and the underlined Englishsentences into Chinese.(10marks)How are you?
