AWe moved to a small university town in Illinois and found ourselves living next to a lot of young students. Almost ever y morning, as Dede would walk me to my school, we’d walk through the students’ party wasteland covered with things I was too young to know about and Dede was too old to care about.One day, a group of guys started shouting “Ali Baba” at us and laughing. I turned red and begged Dede to cross the street with me. But she refused. Instead, she laughed in her usual way, yelled “Ali Baba” and waved at them as we walked by. They just watched us in shocked silence and never said anything to us again.Dede set an example for me that day and forever after, because she taught me to be always proud of who I was.Her stories were like a movie that was rich and imaginative and she never sugarcoated anything. While Dede preferred the Queen’s English, her vocabu lary was just as alive. The landscapes she created in her stories were so vibrant(充满活力的) and filled with a wild cast of characters.Almost every day, I would interrupt Dede, whatever she was busy with, and beg her to tell me a story. She would silently stare at me through the large glasses that took up half of her face. Whether it was only 10 minutes or several hours, I would barely speak as Dede took me to places I never wanted to come back from.My mother died while I was a child. Without the care and guidance of Dede in every aspect of life, I couldn’t have lived happily. Dede taught me so much, not only in daily life, but also in her attitude to dealing with unpleasant things that I don’t want to confront.21. How did the author feel when the boy s shouted “Ali Baba” at them?A. Shocked.B. Ashamed.C. Afraid.D. Excited.22. Why was the author always asking Dede to tell stories?A. Her stories were lively and interesting.B. The author had no friends and felt lonely.C. The author liked Dede to speak in the Queen’s English.D. She could make a dull landscape seem beautiful.23. From the text, we can infer that Dede was the author’s_________.A. motherB. neighbourC. auntD. housekeeper24. We can learn from the text that the author__________.A. appreciated Dede very muchB. didn’t like her fatherC. was very selfishD. thought of Dede as her teacherBPassport ControlIf you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and arenot transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a ci tizen of the European Community, you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.After landing, follow the AKRIVALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports, and a second channel marked "Other Passports".Baggage Reclaim (行李领取) AreaAfter passing through Passport Control, follow thesigns to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggagewhich was carried in the aircraft: along with other cargo,it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to Customs.CustomsAll passengers must pass through Customsafter Passport Control. There is a choice of twochannels, Green and Red. If you have nothing todeclare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowances (免税额), or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowances can be found on special notice-boards in the Baggage ReclaimArea. You should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not. Please note that if you go through the Green Channel, you may be stopped and asked to open your luggage for inspection.25. When a Chinese traveller is arriving at Heathrow Airport for a trip in London, he must _______.A. fill out a landing card firstB. pass through Customs before Passport ControlC. walk through the Red ChannelD. immediately reclaim his baggage after landing26.

Which of the following travellers DO NOT have to go through Passport Control and Customs?A. People travelling straight to London.B. Holders of European Community passports.C. Passengers transferring to a city in Ireland.D. Passengers only with some hand luggage.CFree Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor.“Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling—especially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing we bsites.”However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的)camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: socia l media had changed into a habit,” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing (捕捉) moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travel’s deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos”In September, Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature. Would you like to have anunplugged holiday?28. According to the passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT .A. getting out of a library that has no access to the InternetB. thinking ill of a hotel without Wi-FiC. making travel plans via the InternetD. enjoying travelling without Hi-Tech equipment29. Through the fourth paragraph, the author intends to .A. give more evidence to the view mentionedB. show a different opinion on the topicC. get into another topicD. summarize the previous paragraphs30. What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland ?A. Travelers cannot survive without Hi-Tech.B. T aking pictures d oesn’t affect appreciating nature.C. Her over-reliance on technology has come at a price.D. Her fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.31.What does “an unplugged holiday” mean in the last paragraph ?A. A camping holiday. B A holiday in a remote hotel.C. A holiday without Wi-Fi.D. A holiday without taking pictures.DIn summer, millions of people will head for the beach. And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way. Some scientists thinkthat waves could help make electricity.“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said.“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮). The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机).The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy, and it is already being used in Scotland.The resource is huge. We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the s ame pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal.Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface. That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world. There are some drawbacks, however.Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money. He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown. Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said. “Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world. Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional so urces of energy like oil and gas may run out some day. ”In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!32. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Wave power costs too much money.B. Wave energy creates pollution like other energy sources.C. Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic.D. Wave power may affect marine animals.33. We can infer from th e passage that ______.A. finding new energy sources like wave energy is importantB. wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the worldC. wave power is perfect for creating energy around the worldD. wave power d oesn’t create any pollution34. The underlined word “drawbacks” in the seventh paragraph probably means______．A. regretsB. adventuresC. shortcomingsD. difficulties35. What can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Get Electricity by WavesB. A Huge Resource of Energy.C. Can Waves Make Electricity?D. The Disadvantages of Wave Energy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。

" Soliman's mother told Soliman on thesecond day of his college breaks.After years of delivering furniture for his mother'-s store, he knew many people had things they wanted to get rid of. If he borrowed his mom's truck, he could make a little money by carrying away their garbage.One night, Soliman came up with a name for his new business - College Hunks Hauling Junk. He advertised the next day, and within hours, his phone rang. He askedhis friend Friedman to help. They made $ 220 in three hours by cleaning out a woman-s garage. Soliman and Friedman earned $ 10,000 that summer. But the two weren't readyto become full- time garbage mcn after graduation. "We were trained to finish college and get a good job," says Soliman, who first worked at a research firm. Friedman bccame an economic analyst.After working for the firm and the company for a while, both of them changed their minds. They quit their jobs and restarted their business, but had trouble finding a bankwilling to lend them money. "Within months," says Friedman, "we were pretty upset. "At last, one bank risked lending them $ 50,000. At first, they lost money. One customer asked them to deal with a dozen garbage cans filled with construction garbage. They measured the job by volume instead of by weight and charged just $ 130. "The cans wereso heavy that it took us two and a half hours," says Soliman, "And it cost us more than$ 250 to carry the load. "However, the tough experience taught them a lesson. They reduced the cost ofunloading by recycling metals and electronics. Just four years later, they ran a nationwide company that earned $ 3 million in 2014. " I figured if Nick and I failed, we'd learn more from failing than from not trying at all," says Soliman.24. What does Soliman find when helping to deliver furniture?A.

By recycling something useful.27. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Easier said than done.B. Nothing succeeds like success.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.CBlue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on the planet, and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds. But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercialwhaling ended in 1965.The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of BritishColumbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997. Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores, suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s, blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters. But from the 1920s to the 1960s, whaling severely reduced the whale populations. Blue whales never recovered in the Northern Pacific, making sightings in this area rare. However, much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in North Pacific waters. But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely partof the California population.To identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the West Cost of the United States and Southern Pacific. Up to now, the researchers arenot quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns, but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.28. According to the passage, blue whales are .A. following a fixed route of migrationB. dying out due to commercial whalingC. moving from the south to the northD. rarely found in the Southern Pacific29. The whale population in the northern Pacific .A. is different from the California populationB. is probably part of the California populationC. has become the largest group since the 1970sD. has lived there since the 1960s30. The underlined word "cetaceans" in Paragraph 5 probably means .A. land creaturesB. whale speciesC. ocean conditionsD. migration patterns31. What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?A. Commercial whaling.B. Weather conditions.C. Life reproduction.D. Food resources.DWhen slaves were first brought over from West Africa to the southern parts of America, they brought along with them aspects of their own culture-religion, dance, language, music, and cuisine. A mix of the two cultures eventually appeared. Thereligious dance of the ring shout turned into modern dances like the Charleston, and tribal chants slowly transformed into sorrowful hymns (圣歌) sung by slaves that described their hardships.These soulful accounts by slaves of the severe climate and conditions began to be called "the blues" , which continued in popularity among African Americans after the Civil War. This music increased in popularity into the early 1900s when many black musicians became an important part of the music industry.The slaves that had been brought over were from all different regions of West Africa, but they worked together until they gradually formed a common culture. This strengthenedthe identity of their music that, in the 1950s, eventually led to the beginning of rock androll. The Beatles, the most influential band of the 1960s, are often determined as the acceleraior that resulted in the ideology (意识形态)surrounding music that is still around today. The frcedom and individuality associated with that time period brought forth awhole culture surrounding music. It was not just music any more, but a lifestyle.Ovcr the dccadcs, music has developed into such a vital part of society and popculture. Musicians arc glorified, with tons of adoring and screaming fans. The modern technology of present day has allowed for a greater gap betwcen the creator of the musicand the fans, as well as a widespread commercialization of music. However, criticisms of modern pop music often arise due to its mass production, and now there is a lack of thesame soul and quality of naturalness and simplicity in music that was rising in the early20th century.32. What contributed to the birth of the Charleston?A. Various African religions.B. People's love of tribal dances.C.A mix of two different cultures.D. The popularity of sorrowful hymns.33. According to the passage, what can we learn about the blues?A. It became popular in the late 20th century.B. It may include the description of slaves' sad lives.C. It mainly told the stories of the American Civil War.D. It reflected the hard lives of many black musicians.34. What does the underlined word "this” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Slaves' collective work.B. One region of West Africa.C. The new common culture.D. The music by the Beatles.35. It can be learned that the music in the early 20th century____.A. possessed soul and sincerityB. became more commercializedC. was blamed for its mass productionI). widened the gap between musicians and fans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。

That translates to more than 29 liters per person. Experts say the amount of carbonated soft drinks we consume(消费) is growing. New research from the American Heart Association finds that drinking soda, even diet soda, may significantly increase your risk for heart disease. Dr. Ramachandran Vasan led the study. "Drinking just one or more sodas a day may not be as innocuous as people think."In a large study of 9,000 people, doctors discovered that those who drank one or more sodas a day had a 30% increased risk for obesity(肥胖), a 25% increase in the risk for abnormal(非正常的) blood sugar levels, and a 32% increase in the odds of having low levels of good cholesterol(胆固醇).All of these factors increase the risk for heart disease. And there was no difference in the results for those who drank diet soda over regular soda. It’s something that surprised even the researchers.Critics of the study say diet soda may not be the cause of increased risk of heart disease. Connie Diekman is president of the American Dietetic Association. "It does not conclusively say that this will cause that."In other words, it could be that unhealthy people like soda. Dr. Vasan found those who drink soda generally tend to have greater caloric intake. They eat more saturated fat and trans fats. They also eat less fiber and exercise less. Diet soda drinkers may also share this unhealthy lifestyle. Dr. Vasan agrees that the link he found between heart disease risk and diet soda needs additional study.【1】What does the underlined word “innocuous” in the first paragraph probably mean?A．popular.B．harmless.C．effective.D．risky.【2】 According to the study, which of the following is true?A．Only people who overdrink sodas have high risk for heart disease.B．In the study, about one quarter of people have high blood level.C．Both regular and diet sodas can probably increase the risk for heart disease.D．Dr. Vasan is the leader of the American Heart Association.【3】 What can be inferred from the passage above?A．All the experts agree with the results of the study.B．Sodas of any kind are certain to increase the risk for heart disease.C．People have expected the results of the research.D．More studies are needed to prove the results.【4】How does the writer present the passage?A．By comparing opinions.B．By giving advice.C．By showing facts.D．By discussing information.三、阅读理解1."When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood. The happy childhood is hardly worth your while. "Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood. And worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." That was Frank McCourt reading the opening lines of his book Angela's Ashes, released in 1996.This Irish American author best known for the Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography Angela's Ashes that recorded his poor upbringing, died of cancer on Sunday, The New York Times reported. He was 78.Born in New York City, he was the eldest of the seven children born to Irish immigrant parents. Angela's Ashes was a memoir(回忆录)that captured an irresponsible, drunkard(酒鬼)father with a gift for story-telling. When not drunk, his father was absent, turning his back on a family so poor, McCourt wrote, that they were reduced to burning the furniture in their rented hut to keep warm. His mother struggled to raise her many children after his father left the family.In Angela's Ashes, he wrote of hunger, a home flooded with rainwater and the unbearable humiliation(耻辱)of seeking handouts from charities in the Irish city. But he told the story in a way that is expressive, warm and light-hearted.Frank McCourt left Ireland at the age of 19 to return to New York City where he was born. He earned a degree in English education and taught creative writing for nearly thirty years. After retiring in 1987, he decided to write about his childhood. "Angela's Ashes" became a huge success and brought McCourt a 1997 Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award and other honors. Millions of copies of the book were sold worldwide and it was adapted into a 1999 movie starring Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle.【1】In the first paragraph, by saying "The happy childhood is hardly worth your while", the writer really means that ________.A．a lot of readers don't deserve happy childhoodB．his childhood is not worth of others' sympathyC．his childhood is mixed with happiness and miseryD．smooth childhood surely will not draw readers' attention【2】From the passage, we know Frank McCourt's father is ________.A．humorous and trustworthyB．alcohol-addicted but loves his familyC．poor but warm-heartedD．irresponsible but gifted in telling stories【3】Which of the statements about the book “Angela’s Ashes” is right?A．This book is intended to show respect to McCourt’s father.B．The author wrote the book in a sad and serious tone(语调).C．The book enjoyed great popularity after it came out.D．The author got two awards because of the book.【4】 What's the text mainly about?A．A brief introduction to Frank McCourt and one of his works.B．A literary review(评论) on Frank McCourt's book.C．An account of Frank McCourt's miserable childhood.D．A comment on Frank McCourt's life experience.2.BFather’s day Sunset Live Music Dinner CruiseSunday, June 16th, 20136:30pm-8:30pmJoin us abroad the 95’ Dana Pride for our special Father’s Day Di nner Cruise.

A skyscraper type building can house a vertical farm. Since the garden is built upwards，rather than outwards，it requires much less space than a conventional farm.The world is quickly running out of room for conventional farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. An 18-story vertical farm could feed as many as 50,000 people，all in an area which is the size of the average city block. Vertical farms in the city could cut down on transportation costs as well. Think about the amount of fuel it takes to transport food from farmland to city. The resources saved would be surprising. Besides saving travel time，food would be delivered in fresher condition and with less damage.There is a growing concern about the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) in agriculture today. But the vertical farm would be a greenhouse type environment, avoiding the need for a large number of pesticides. Vertical farms can be built in a contained space，therefore they are an excellent solution for living well in an environment far different from our own. Hydroponics(水耕法) could be a big part of vertical gardening. This would reduce the amount of soil needed to grow food. Of course，not all food does well with this type of planting，but there are many crops that actually seem to do better.In some climates，a lack of sunlight creates a short growing season. The solar power option may not work as well here. The addition of grow lights would make it possible to grow crops in vertical gardens in these areas .In other words，we could grow crops in areas where we never could before.Vertical farms may just be a concept for now，but they are a concept that will solve many of our problems in the future.【1】According to the passage, a vertical farm ________.A．is mainly built outwardsB．is dependent on solar powerC．is planted on levels upwardsD．is only an environmental friendly farm【2】Compared to the conventional farm, the vertical farm can ________.A．depend far less on sunlightB．greatly increase the use of soilC．help to protect the limited gardensD．reduce the harmful effect of pesticides【3】 It can be learned from the passage that vertical farms ________.A．have already been put into useB．only use hydroponics to grow foodC．need less room than conventional farmsD．may increase the transportation costs【4】What would be the best title for the passage?A．Vertical farms for our futureB．Ways to deal with future problemsC．Vertical farms and green skyscrapersD．Making full use of our limited land4.The National Park Service in the United States will mark its one hundredth anniversary in 2016. As it nears its second century, the Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.The plans include transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit national parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is believed to have been the world's first national park when it was established in 1872. Other students will get a chance to see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education. One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called NatureBridge. NatureBridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs. The organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfthgrade and uses national parks as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.Now, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a four-million-dollar grant from Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students stay for three to five days in NatureBridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils and study water quality under a microscope.Jason Morris is executive vice president of NatureBridge. He says when they are not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors. Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals. Ms. Washburn says one of the most important services that the Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation. Park rangers (公园管理员) try to make visiting the outdoors more meaningful. Interpretation is a form of informal education. Essentially, it is a word that we use for the people in parks that explain the park or help orient(确定方向)you. So park rangers are interpreters. They orient you to the place you are in and help you make connections, emotional and intellectual connections, with the place.【1】Which of the following descriptions about NatureBridge is NOT correct?A．It’s an organization working together with National Park Service to provide education.B．Some of the activities held by NatureBridge are financially supported by Google.C．Students from kindergarten to college can sign up for the organization’s activities.D．It’s going to cut down budget for the activities because of economic hard times.【2】In which national park will the program by East Coast centre start?A．Yellowstone National Park.B．Prince William Forest Park.C．Yosemite National Park.D．Not mentioned in the passage.【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?A．National parks are used as outdoor classrooms for students.B．Students are called on to be members of NatureBridge.C．Some famous national parks in US are attractive to students.D．Park rangers make visiting parks much more interesting.【4】 Which of the following is the correct structure of the whole passage? (Para=paragraph)A．B．C．D．5.In the winter of 1964, the Beatles, a British musical, packed up their electric guitars, drum kits, and rebellious ways and set off for America.Two days later, more than seventy million people watched the group perform four of their hit songs on the Ed Sullivan Show. This was sixty percent of the American television audience. Here the Beatles sing one of those songs, "I Want to Hold Your Hand."The Beatles soon had the top five hit songs on the Billboard singles chart. Millions of fans became infected with Beatlemania. They rushed to stores to buy Beatles albums, wigs, clothes, dolls and lunch boxes.The Beatles recorded more than twenty number one hits in America. A Beatles song was almost always at the top of the charts until the group's next hit replaced it. They played to more than fifty thousand fans at large sports stadiums. And they filmed several movies that made millions of dollars.The Beatles were influenced by American singers including Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard. Yet the group's music sounded completely new and different. The Beatles wrote more than two hundred songs that revolutionized American popular music.In addition, young people saw the Beatles as spokesmen for their generation. They copied the band members' long hair and free-spirited ways. The band became so popular that in 1966 John Lennon said they were more popular than Jesus Christ.Soon other musicians began writing their own music the way John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the Beatles songs.Many other British groups followed the Beatles to America. This was known as the "British Invasion." They included the Dave Clark Five, the Kinks and the Rolling Stones.The Rolling Stones called themselves the "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." The Stones first performed across America in 1964. This song was the group's first Top 40 hit in the United States.In the spring of 1970, the Beatles released "Let it Be." But their fans were not celebrating. This was the last studio album the Beatles recorded as a group. It tells the story of the band's break up.四、书面表达最近，你们班召开了以“我的‘中国梦’”为主题的班会活动。

We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend s aid “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it?I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb comes from an adjective not a noun.Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I h aven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!【1】“I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .A．it was a firm arrangementB．he prefers a pencil to a penC．the arrangement should be written as a diaryD．it was an uncertain arrangement【2】A website address can be easily found if it has been______.A．favorited B．messaged C．emailed D．texted【3】Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet?A．message B．mobile C．email D．page【4】The best title for this passage is____.A．Technology and Language.B．Development of the English languageC．New Technology and New words D．New Verbs from Nouns2.This Teaching Assistant Level 3 course is designed for people who either are, or wish to become a teaching assistant.

They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to endure almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the box's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement onall U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.【1】What does the author say about the black box?A．It is an indispensable device on an airplane.B．The idea for its design comes from a comic book.C．Its ability to avoid disasters is incredible.D．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.【2】What does the underlined word in the 3rd paragraph mean?A．witness B．experience C．resist D．ensure【3】Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A．New materials became available by that time.B．Too much space was needed for its installation.C．The early models didn't provide the needed data.D．The early models often got damaged in the crash.【4】What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A．There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.B．There is still a good chance of their being recovered.C．They have stopped sending homing signals.D．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.4.As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19 th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This isnot an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects. The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American Westas an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.【1】What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned.B．Land in the West was hard to manage.C．Some railroad stops remained underused.D．Land grants went into private hands.【2】What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs? A．The use of money and power.B．The transmission of power.C．The conservation of solar energy.D．The selection of an ideal place.【3】What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?A．Disapproving.B．Approving.C．Doubtful.D．Cautious.【4】Which is the best title for the passage?A．How the Railways Have Affected the WestB．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedC．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestD．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled5.Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing."One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration.""I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes(模式化形象) and strengthened stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural resistance."The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.【1】What can we learn from some recent studies?A．Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.B．Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.C．Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.D．Interracial lodging does more harm than good.【2】What does the Indiana University study show?A．Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.B．Roommates of different races just don't get along.C．Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.D．Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.【3】What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?A．The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.B．Students of different races are required to share a room.C．Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.D．Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.【4】What can be inferred from Grace Kao’s saying about interracial lodging?A．Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.B．Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.C．Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.D．It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.四、其他阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第76至第85小题的空格里填上适当的单词。

I know how much you wanted to be in the play. Now you feel that maybe acting isn't the right future for you. I think you're wrong. You're a good actor. Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group's play? You were excellent. People clapped(鼓掌)every time you walked on stage（舞台). Even the other actors loved you.All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famous actors don't get every part they want. I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you're good at it. Don't be discouraged because you lose one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all, you can always give up some other time.Love,Jane21. Jane wrote this letter because____.A. she wanted John to get a part in the play he was trying out forB. she wanted to tell John that he shouldn't give up acting.C. she wanted to tell John how to become an actorD. she was unhappy with John.22. Jane talks about other actors to show Jon that ____.A. they are as bad as he isB. acting is a hard lifeC. they sometimes get turned down for parts they want.D. they are lucky enough23. What does Jane think of John?A. He is a good actor, and some day he will be successful.B. He is too easily discouraged to become a good actor.C. He is a better actor than the person who has got the part.D. He is as unlucky as the other actors.24. What does the underlined phrase probably mean ____?A. look forB. take care ofC. take a test, a trial ect. to get sth.D. envies at John's success.BYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and flexible knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, activity of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human bei ng’s heart the interest in wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.When your aerials（天线）are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism (愤世嫉俗的想法)and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.25.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. A man is old when he is 80 years old.B. A man is young when he is 20 years old.C. Years may not only wrinkle the skin, but the soul as well.D. A man may die still young at 80 with his aerials up.26.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind.B. One can choose to be young or old.C. Beauty means youth.D. You must be old when you die.27.What can you infer from the last paragraph?A. Pessimistic people are often covered with snows of cynicism.B. Optimistic people often have their aerials up at home.C. Optimistic people live longer than pessimistic people.D. If you want to die young at 80,you must be optimistic.28.What does the underlined word in paragraph two possibly mean?A.谦虚B.朴实C.胆怯D.固执COne of the most important social developments that helped to make possible a shift in thinking about the role of public education was the effect of the baby boom of the 1950's and 1960's on the schools. In the 1920's, but especially in the Depression conditions of the 1930's, the United States experienced a declining birth rate --- every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118 live children in 1920, 89.2 in 1930, 75.8 in 1936, and 80 in 1940. With the growing prosperity brought on by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed it, young people married and established households earlier and began to raise larger families than during the Depression. Birth rates rose to 102 per thousand in 1946,106.2 in 1950, and 118 in 1955. Although economics was probably the most important reason, it is not the only explanation for the baby boom. The increased value placed on the idea of the family also helps to explain this rise in birth rates. The baby boomers began streaming into the first grade by the mid 1940's and became a flood by 1950. The public school system suddenly found itself overtaxed. While the number of schoolchildren rose because of wartime and postwar conditions, these same conditions made the schools even less prepared to cope with the flood. The wartime economy meant that few new schools were built between 1940 and 1945. Moreover, during the war and in the boom times that followed, large numbers of teachers left their profession for better-paying jobs elsewhere in the economy.29.What does the underlined “it” refer to?A. The Second World War.B. The growing prosperity.C. The economic boom.D. The Depression.30. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. In the 1930's, every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118children.B. Economics was the only important reason for the birth rate rising after the Second WorldWar.C. Many important social developments made people rethink about the role of publiceducation.D. No new schools were built between 1940 and 1945.31. People gave birth to many more children in the 1950's and 1960's because________A. Many new jobs needed many children.B. Many people died in the War.C. People placed more value on the idea of the family.D. There were many wonderful new schools.32. The public school system suddenly found itself overtaxed NOT because________A. Few new schools were built during wartime.B. Too many children became the first grade students.C. A large number of teachers left for better-paying jobs.D. The public school system was worse than the private school system.D“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,”said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to.Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump(树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s not about going to a temple to burn some incense(香) hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; it’s practical advice you can follow each day.Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups; those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,”was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.33. Which of the following proverbs most agrees with the writer’s point?A. Make the best of a bad job.B. Rome was not built in a day.C. All is not gold that glitters.D.A flower in a garden doesn’t make a spring.34. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey?A. She became famous through her family background.B. She is a British talk show host.C. She became successful by her own effort.D. She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life.35. The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show __________.A. man can conquer natureB. luck is in your own handC. bad luck can turn into goodD. you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you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够填入空白处的最佳选项。
