The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. help people who are very poorB. provideinformation about free things to doC. give guidance on how to have some funD. introduce ways tosave moneyBOn the high-speed train Avignon to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remaining seats on the train in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremely uncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books. The woman produced a large makeup case and made up her face. Except for a lunch break, she continued this activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, but never once did she catch my eye. My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.I was amused, but some people would have felt uncomfortable, even repulsed(厌恶的）.there is something about making up in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it’s a question of hygiene. And it’s a matter of degree. Making up ---- a private act---- has a way of neglecting the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brush and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while she was next to me, she was not with me.In fact, I am generally prohibited from making up in public, except when I am in the company of cosmetics moment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would do so.Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920’s and 30’s. Deploring(强烈反对) the practice as a waste of company time, trade journals advises managers to discourage it among workers. Peiss theorizes that it was female’s making up in what has been an all-male field that disturb some gentlemen.Peiss tells me that after the 30’s, pulling out a make-up case was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice. I asked if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she would save that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why? Because it would be “a gesture of inappropriate feminity(女性化）.” One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticks that remain in place all day without retouching.61. According to the author, “My husband and I could have been a blanket wall.” (Line 6, Para.1) most probably means “________”.A. We were of no existence in the French woman’s eyes.B. We looked at the French woman expressionlessly.C. We were treated with an expressionless face.D. We used books as a wall to avoid the woman’s eyes.62. In the author’s opinion, she _______.A.feels comfortable when making up in public.B. makes up before any professional gatherings.C. only makes up on social occasions.D. allows public making up on certain occasions.63. According to Peiss, nose powdering in an office was criticized mainly for the reason that ____.A.normal office work was disturbed.B. make dominance was emphasized there.C. it discouraged women’s interest in career.D. it distracted make workers’ focus on work.64. Why do most professional women give up using lipsticks in public?A.Because they are worried about being looked down upon.B.Because it implies women’s disadvantages in academic fields.C.Because they are ashamed to be seen making up in front of males.D.Because it emphasizes their female features in wrong situations.65. It can be inferred that in a highly open society, the differences between men and women ______.A. have attracted little attention.B. hinder the social development.C. still call for great concern.D. are attractive topics in talk shows.CPeople in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “ Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. ”The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races. Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “ A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. ” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. Thesystems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,”Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. “It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. ”Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.66. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Driverless vehicles are now legal in the whole USA.B. Volvo will be the first to sell driverless cars.C. Google’s self-driving cars have covered a long distance.D. Driverless cars are pointing us a faraway future.67. We learn that Governor of California Jerry Brown_________.A. helped design self-driving cars.B. improved the self-driving car systems.C. considers self-driving cars science fiction.D. supports self-driving cars on roads.68. What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. They can take the place of drivers now.B. They can help people drive more safely.C. They can make cars run without fuel.D. They can help cars run much faster.69. According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A. They are now too expensive for consumers.B. Their technical problems remain to be solved.C. They are not allowed to run on the road.D. They are more dangerous for people on the street.70. What's the best title of the passage?A. The benefits of the self-driving cars.B. The biggest challenge of the self-driving cars.C. Self-driving cars-science fiction future is near.D. Safer or more dangerous-self-driving cars.Part 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.Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV sitcoms (情景喜剧) and in movies . The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can learn in an easy way. Thus it is necessary for you to learn the secrets of becoming straight-A students.Among the students we interviewed, study times are a matter of personal perference. Some work late at night when it is quiet ,whereas others awake early. And there are still others who decide to study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All of them agree,however,on the need for study time.“Whatever I was doing,I would find some time every day for studying,” says a top student from New Jersey.Being organized is another habit they share in common. McCray, an outstanding student interviewed, runs track, plays football and is ina band . “I was so busy; I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,” he says. Some students maintain two folders (文件夹）—one for the day’s assignment, another for papers completed and graded. However, some students have another system, filing the day’s papers in color-coded(颜色编码的）folders by subject.The top students also take good notes while reading the text assignment. In fact, David Cieri,another top student interviewed,uses “my homemade” system in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lecture delivered by his teacher on the other. Then. He is able to review both aspects of the assignment at once .Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. But the top students use the few minutes to write a two-or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s important points, which he or she scans before the next day’s class.Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questionsaccording to the information given in the passage.(Reuters) — At least 115 miners were pulled alive from a flooded coal mine in north China after being trapped for over a week, eating bark to survive, prompting extremely happy officials to hail their survival a miracle.Officials said 153 miners were trapped in the unfinished Wangjialing mine, belonging to two of China's larger state-owned firms in Xiangning, Shanxi Province, after water gushed (喷, 涌) into the shafts last Sunday.Late on Sunday night and throughout Monday, the survivors were pulled out from a platform, where the rescuers had drilled a vertical hole to ensure oxygen in the water-flooded pit and send down bags of glucose (葡萄糖). Thirty-eight miners were still missing."It is a miracle," said Luo Lin, head of the State Administration of Work Safety. "The trapped miners stayed so firmly determined down the mine shaft, passing through eight days and eight nights to live." The workers also survived by eating bark from pine wood used in building the mines, Chinese television said.The government had succeeded in encouraging thousands of rescue workers to pump out water and search for the miners. After that, the water level dropped low enough for rescue workers to enter the shaft.It was rare good news in China's dangerous coal-mining industry, the deadliest in the world with thousands killed every year in floods, explosions, collapses and other accidents. Shanxi Province is the heartland of that industry.Strong demand for energy and not strict safety standards have made China's mines often deadly places to work, despite a government drive to clamp down on (对……进行压制或取缔) small, unsafe operations where most accidents occur.Workers are tempted into (被诱惑去) the mines by wages that can be much higher than for many other jobs open to blue-collar workers and rural migrants.China has consolidated (合并) or taken over many private mines, which has helped cut accidents. According to official statistics, the number of people killed in Chinese coal mines dropped to 2,631 in 2009, an average of seven a day, from 3,215 in 2008. But the deadliest accidents are not limited to private firms.81. According to the second paragraph, what caused the serious accident? (no more than 6 words)___________________________________________________________________________________82. How did the rescuers manage to send down oxygen and bags of glucoseinto the pit? (no more than 5 words)____________________________________________________________________ _______________83. According to the passage, what measures does the government take to help cut accidents?

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.ABill Fulton doesn’t remember losing his wallet, but its return helped him remember the past. The leather stayed smooth and the cowboy design unblemished (完美无缺的). And when he looked inside, the contents brought back memories from 1946, when he apparently dropped the wallet behind the balcony bleachers (露天看台) in the Baker Middle School gym.Fulton’ s So cial Security Card and bicycle license, bearing the address where he lived during his teenage years, were positioned in their respective compartments, apparently untouched since the year after World War Ⅱ ended.Worker Nathan Osborne found the wallet — along with old homework, lost library books anda 1964 talent show program — while removing the bleachers for renovations on June 17. Itwas brought to Fulton’ s door the following day by Melanie Trindle, the Baker Middle School secretary.Middle School Principal Mindy Vaughan said the brown pine bleachers were connected to the gym balcony’ s brick wall and had remained in the same place since the school, known as the Helen M. Stack Building, opened in 1936.Fulton, 78, said he probably lost the wallet while cheering for the Baker High basketball team with a group of friends. Fulton said the bicycle ID was needed because he delivered medicine for Roamer Drug. He was surprised, however, that his bicycle ID wasn’t inside. He said he always kept it there.But rather than focus on what was inside the wallet, Fulton said the recovery has led him to reflect on his life — one that took him to the Korean War and Berlin before the return to Baker City. He worked at Ellington Lumber Company for 30 years, from March 1964 to April 1994.Since his retirement, Fulton has enjoyed spending time with his 11year old black dog, Smokey. The two often hike the nearby mountains. Trindle’ s knock on the door, wallet in hand, induced a slight ripple in his life, prompting him to conside r the times he hadn’t thought about in many years. “Where did all the times go？” Fulton said with a deep sigh. “It’ s hard to believe that the times have gone so fast.”56．When the wallet was found, it________.A. was still in good conditionB. was a little damagedC. had just lost colorD. was just repaired57．The wallet was important to Fulton because ________.A. he could get his bicycle ID backB. it called up his memories of the pastC. it could help him to find his student IDD. it made him think of his school days 58．Fulton lost the wallet when________.A. he was doing his homework on the balcony bleachersB. he was doing some exercise in the Baker Middle School gymC. he was removing the bleachers for renovations on June 17D. he was watching a basketball match with his friends59．After he retired, Fulton________.A. lived a peaceful and pleasant lifeB. often regretted losing his walletC. lived a hard life by raising dogs in the mountainsD. quite missed his past life 60．Which of the following best describes Fulton’ s feeling when the wallet was returned?A. Thankful.B. Overjoyed.C. Surprised.D. Doubtful.BSimply saying “thank you” may benefit both the person who is thanked and the person who expresses gratitude(感激)，according to the results of studies conducted by researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee.The studies were published in the latest issue of Psychological Science. It was found that saying “thank you” strengthens relationships by ca using the person expressing thanks to feel more responsible for the person who is being thanked.To understand how expressing gratitude helps strengthen relationships，the researchers conducted three different studies.In one study,137 college students completed a survey regarding how often they expressed gratitude to a friend or partner .Results showed that gratitude was positively linked with the person's perception(看法)of the relationship between him and his friend or partner.In another study involving 218 college students，the expressers believed that expressing gratitude made the relationships become closer.In the third study, 75 men and women were divided into four groups. Over a three-week period, one group expressed gratitude to a friend；another thought grateful thoughts about a friend，while a third thought about daily activities and a fourth had positive interactions(互动)with a friend. Those who expressed gratitude reported stronger relationships at the end of the study than those in the other groups.Gratitude，when expressed，strengthened relationships，according to the studies' lead author，Nathaniel Lambert .He said the findings make sense because when you express gratitude to someone，you are focusing on the good things that person has done for you. It makes you see them in a more positive light and helps you to focus on their good qualities.Although the studies only looked at the people expressing gratitude，Lambert thought that those who are being thanked will often want to express their gratitude back，which helps form a harmonious(和谐的)atmosphere among people.61 Researchers at Florida State University believe that expressers of gratitude may________.A．receive better education B．care more about othersC．know the benefits of saying “thank you” D．know the benefits of being thanked62 In the third study，why did researchers divide the participants into several groups?A．To prove a conclusion. B．To test a theory.C．To compare research results. D．To collect more information.63 How many people were involved in the first two studies?A．137. B．218. C．75. D．355.64 Which of the following would Lambert agree with?A．Appreciating a person's good points helps build a good relationship.B．Expressers of gratitude are more likely to succeed in their careers.C．Expressers of gratitude forget an unhappy experience quickly.D．Expressing gratitude is easy to do for everyone.65．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Saying “thank you” helps defeat your enemiesB．Saying “thank you” to create a sweet atmosphereC．Simple “thank you”，high expectationsD．Simple “thank you” has new benefitsCWhen Gretchen Baxter gets home from work as a New York City book editor，she checks her cellphone at the door.“I think we are attached to these devices(装置)in a way that is not always positive，”says Baxter，who'd rather focus at home on her husband and 12yearold daughter.“It’s there but we get crazy sometimes and we don't know where it s hould stop.”Americans are connected at unprecedented(前所未有的)levels—93% now use cellphones or wireless devices；onethird of those are “smartphones” that allow users to surf the Internet and check emails，among other things. The benefits are obvious：checking messages on the road，staying in touch with friends and family，efficiently using time once spent waiting around.The downside：Often，we're effectively disconnecting from those in the same room.That's why，despite all the technology that makes communicating easier than ever,2010 was the Year We Stopped Talking to One Another. From texting at dinner to posting on Facebook at work or checking emails while on a date，the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention. Many analysts say it's time to step back and reassess.“What we're going to see in the future is new opportunities for people to be connected like never before，”says Scott Campbell，assistant professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan，who studies the social implications(暗示)of using mobile devices.“It can be a good thing.But I also see the traditional social structure is getting somewhat torn apart.”Sherry Turtle，director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self in Cambridge，Mass.wants to remind people that technology can be turned off.“Our human purpose is to reallyhave connections with people，”she says.“We have to reclaim(收回)it. It’s not going to happen naturally.”66．According to the first paragraph，Gretchen Baxter thinks________.A．cellphones are not always helpfulB．we benefit a lot from the invention of cellphonesC．using cellphones too much may be bad for healthD．cellphones play an important role in her life67 The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________ ”．A．advantage B．weakness C．characteristic D．importance 68．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．People communicate more now than in the past.B．Using mobile devices can focus people's attention quickly.C．93% of Americans often use cellphones to surf the Internet.D．The use of mobile devices has a negative effect on the social structure.69．What is Sherry Turkle's attitude towards using mobile devices?A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Confused. D．Uncertain.70．The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers that________.A．something must be done for people to get a real connection with othersB．cellphones may be replaced by new devicesC．cellphones should be turned off on some occasionsD．people should have more connections with othersPART FOUR WRITING(45’)SECTION A(10’)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.The atmosphere is a gaseous envelope that surrounds the Earth. It is a collection of gases, vapor and particulates surrounding the Earth.The atmosphere is very important to life on this planet because, firstly, it acts as a system for cycling and recycling carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen; living things transform these elements into sources of carbohydrates and proteins for nourishment(营养品). Secondly, it protects us from invisible threats such as the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Thirdly, it protects the Earth’s surface from rapid heating during the day and rapid cooling down at night. Lastly, it provides us with the air we breathe as it is our basic life support system; every breath we take requires oxygen in the air.However, human activities are causing the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere.This has resulted in many environmental and health problems. Urban air pollution, acid rain,contamination by toxic chemicals, the lessening of the stratospheric ozone layer and changes in the global climatic system are all important environmental threats to the atmosphere. Air pollutionOur planet is becoming choked with poisonous gases mostly from our daily activities like driving cars, warming our house and running power stations. And pollution doesn’t need a passport to travel around the world.Ozone depletionFor years, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)were used as a cooling device in freezers and air conditioners. CFCs destroy the ozone layer, the layer that filters(过滤)ultraviolet radiation from the sun which causes eye damage and skin cancer.The greenhouse effectAs more greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere reflect more heat back to the Earth, it causes a rise in temperature, beyond that which is considered to be normal. Rising temperature will cause the climate change, which may lead to more natural disasters, extinction(灭绝)of some animals and plants. Additionally, passing through surface, while some is lost in space, greenhouse gases reflect back some solar energy and make the atmosphere hotter.Humans are damaging the atmosphere, which serves to be our coat. One day it deserves their right. And the world is warming up, the polar icecaps to melt, sea levels to rise and extreme weather conditions to occur more frequently.Section B (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening，an idea came to his mind，“I'll send Mum some ro ses.” While John was picking his flowers，a young man went inside.“How many roses canI get for only five dollars，madam？” he asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roseswere as expensive as forty dollars a dozen. Maybe he would be happy with carnations.“No，I have to have red roses，” he said.“My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special；it has to be roses as rose is her favorite.”After hearing it，John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them，the assistant said，“Well，lovely young men，thirty dollars a dozen，only for you.” Taking the roses，the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop.It was well worth twentyfive dollars that Jo hn paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.As he walked out，he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地)．Crying，the young man carefully put down the roses，“Mum，oh，Mum，why didn't I tell you how muchI loved you？God，please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”Seeing this，John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.81．Why did John want to buy flowers for her mum？(No more than 5 words.)________________________________________________________________________82．How many roses did the young men get for his mum？(No more than 2 words.) ________________________________________________________________________ 83．What did the young man regret？(No more than 13 words.)________________________________________________________________________ 84．Why would John take the flowers home himself？(No more than 13 words.)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你校要举办一次主题为“How to communicate with our parents”的英语演讲比赛，请你用英语写一篇演讲稿。

In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难 ), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an icechest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir ErnestShackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of AntarcticaWeddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled( 雪橇 ) across the continent. Thejourney was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott hadreached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’ s last journey, completed as he lay in a te dying of cold and hunger, caught the world ’imagins ation, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, aconfident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most ofwhich have never before been published.25.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last week.B. They showed undersea sceneries.C. They were found by a cameraman.D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.26. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.

If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are theclassic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread andmonitored (监控 ) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people ’e-mails andonline posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“ The ‘ ifit bleeds ’rule works for mass media, ”says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University ofPennsylvania.“ They want your eyeballs and don’ t care how you’ re feelingshare.Buta whenstory withyouyour friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’ t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication — e-mails, Web posts and reviews,face-to-face conversations— found that it tended to be more positive than negative( 消极的 ), but that didn’ t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced moregood things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular setof news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed t “ most -emailed ” list for six months. One of his first find ings was that articles in the science section were muchmore likely to make the list than non- science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and mad them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like angeror anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused( 激发 ) one way or the other, andthey preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Bergerexplains in his new book,“ Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”32.
