AThe Grand PalaceIf there is one must-see sight without which no visit to Bangkok would be complete, it‟s the spectacular Grand Palace,undoubtedly the city‟s most famous landmark. Built in 1782 and for 150 years the home of the Thai King, the Royal court and the administrative seat of government, the Grand Palace of Bangkok continues to have visitors in awe of its beautiful architecture and complicated details, which is a proud salute（致敬）to the creativity and creativity and craftsmanship of Thai people. Within its walls were also the Thai war ministry, the state departments, and even the mint（铸币厂).Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.Important Notes about the Grand PalaceA strict dress code applies.

Visitors can enter the Grand Palace every day.B. The Grand Palace has nothing to do with the Thai King.C. Clothes for improperly dressed people are sold at the gate.D. You can‟t visit Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall with your ticket.BOne day, a wise man heard some villagers were arguing about whose suffering was the worst. They each thought, “If my pain was as little as my neighbors, I could laugh and be joyous.” The wise man called them together around a tree and hand ed each person a pencil and an envelope with a string through a hole in the corner, and a blank piece of paper inside.“I‟ve been very troubled that many of you feel that Spirit has given you a more severe burden to carry than your neighbors. I took this heartfelt (真心真意的)concern to prayer with me, and Spirit has offered a solution. We will each take the paper out, write down our personal suffering, and put the paper back in the envelope. Write your name on the front of the envelope and find a branch to tie your envelope on. This is our suffering tree. When you tie your envelope，your suffering, onto the tree，Spirit has promised you‟ll be free of it. However, as you have left a suffering on the tree, you must take one from the tree. Every person will be allowed to exchange their sufferings for any other that they pick off this tree as we walk around it. Once all the sufferings have been taken back from this tree, we will be done, and Spirit promises each of us will then be more content with the sufferings we be ar.”It took quite a long time to walk around the tree before anyone took any suffering to be their own. But eventually, the first envelope was claimed (认领）.Little by little，every envelope came off the tree, each person claiming the suffering of their choice.And each person claimed the very same suffering they had hung on the tree. Each one was more content with what was theirs to bear.4. What did the v illagers think of their neighbors‟ suffering at first?A. They think it is as little as their own.B. They think it is worse than their own.C. They think it is not as bad as their own.D. They think it is the worst in the world.5. Why did the wise man call the villagers together?A. He wanted to let them understand a truth.B. He liked talking with the villagers.C. He wished the villagers to help him solve a problem.D. He was ready to help the villagers get rid of their sufferings.6. Which of the following thing is the right order?a. The villagers took one envelope from the tree.b. The villagers wrote down their own sufferings.c The villagers were called together.d. The villagers tied their envelopes on the tree.A. abcdB. bcdaC. cbadD. cbda7. What‟s the best title for the passage?A. A Wise Man Likes to Help His VillagersB. Whose Life Would You Like to Live?C. A Suffering Tree Helps Reduce Your SufferingD. Each Person Claims His Neighbor‟s EnvelopeCBeing PoliteI simply love a tag line：“Isn‟t it nice when someone makes you feel special?” I guess we all feel nice when we arc given good treatment. So how about being someone else‟s reason of delight or even just giving them their due respect?I‟m sure you have heard the quote：“Do to others, what you want others to do to you.” Be nice to people around you. Every time we interact (互动)with people, remember that a smile，a raised hand, a small pat on the back，a firm handshake. That‟s all it takes to show your appreciation. A lot of times we tend to believe that such small gestures don‟t make any difference. Think again and I‟m sure you will think otherwise.I agree that while at work, it might be someone‟s duty to do a particular job and doesn‟t call for a “thank you”. Yet，we should try to be polite with all those we interact. We should respect everyone and not look down upon anyone. As a team manager would agree, every member is important in the team. Everyone is like a piece of the jig-saw puzzle(拼图玩具）and the picture would n‟t be complete without each one of them.A lot of times, we may be facing the anger of someone through no fault of our own. At times，with so much pressure, frustration, and despair all around us we tend to lose control of ourselves and shout，even abuse people for something they do which upsets us.Let me clarify that being polite doesn‟t mean being a soft rubber that anyone can tread over (践踏）.I strongly believe that being polite and giving respect is a sign of strength and not weakness. Be strong; take charge of your emotions and channel your energy. I know, it‟s easier said than done.8. What does the author mainly tell us?A. Being polite to others is important.B. Famous quotes make differences.C. Bringing happiness to others.D. Expressing your appreciation.9. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 is used to ask us to .A. learn how to communicate with othersB. smile at those who don‟t smile at usC. shake hands with others firmlyD. be nice to people around us10. In the author‟s opinion, we should say “thank you”_______.A. only when others help us when we are in troubleB. even if others do what they should do for usC. when others are not polite to usD. if others do something well11. What can be learned from the passage?A. It‟s easy to take charge of your emotions and channel your energy.B. When we face pressure, we are likely to lose control of ourselves.C. Not every member of a team plays an important part in a team.D. Being polite means being a soft rubber.DMany people don't realize the importance of music education in the schools today.A new study showed, however, music education is extremely important.In college, music education is one of the largest programs. Teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques. They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methods; they must learn conducting and so much more. At the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.Music plays a very important role in our education.Music helps with math and science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn‟t. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series", which is about how music is produced by vibration（颤动）and why.Students learn a lot about languages through music．Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; so students are exposed to that very often while singing.Students learn a huge amount of cooperation （协作）of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use motor（肌肉运动的）skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind（管乐器）players mustlearn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns. Students have to be aware of what every other musician does at every time. In that way, it develops cooperation, as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.As one can see, music is very important to education.12. What can we infer about learning music in college?A. It is an easy task without much effort.B. It attracts more and more people to learn.C. It is such a challenging job to finishD. It has no value to our future life.13. Music benefits us a lot in many ways except for_______.A. making us a scientist later.B. improving language abilityC. bettering cooperation of body parts.D. making us think more about how to learn well14. The underlined word “that” in Para. 5 refers to “_________”A. the musicB. the workC. the cultureD. the language15. What can we know from the passage?A. A good achievement of science is vital to music learning.B. Learning music to a higher level on one‟s own is impossibleC. People have long known the importance of music to our growth.D. Music has benefits to the all—around development of human beings.第二节七选五(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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ALife experiences can show one’s “grit”(坚韧). Complex challenges early in life helped the following people develop skills that got them to the top of their professions.Ursula Burns, Chairwoman, VEON; Former CEO, XeroxHer family was so poor that her single mother traded office cleaning for health care. But Burns’ early gift for maths won her a sc holarship and an internship at Xerox, where she would compete her way to the top. “ I'm a black lady from the Lower East Side,” she says, “Not a lot scares me.”Howard Schultz, Executive Chairman, StarbucksSchultz grew up in public housing in Brooklyn, surrounded by poverty, and was the first in his family to go to college (on a football scholarship).After training in sales, he set up the company that would later buy Starbucks. “In the course of the year I spent trying to raise money, I spoke to242 peopl e, and 217 of them said no.” he said.Sean Combs, CEO, Sean JohnCombs began a generation of hip-hop talent and made a lasting influence on fashion. But his story could have turned out much differently: His drug dealer father was killed when he was3. “It m ade me work even harder.” he recently said.Geisha Williams, CEO, PG&EHer parents fled Cuba when Williams was 5. By 7, she was her parents’ main translator in talks with lawyers and accountants at grocery stores they owned. The experience did help her. “I went from thinking I could be a manager to thinking I could do something much bigger.” she told Fortune.1.Who did best in math at school?A. CombsB. BurnsC. SchultzD. Williams2. How did the death of Combs’ father influence him?A.It made him a failure.B.He became a drug dealer.C.It made him even stronger.D.He became a hip-hopper.3. What can we learn from the passage?A.Cuba is a good place to do business.B.No one wanted to help Schultz at first.C.Poor family kids can be successful easily.D.Difficulty in life pushed Williams forward.BLooking at a pile of old photos, I couldn't help feeling rather regretful.I've never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it's almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques. The bald(秃头的) baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, it's now missing.Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes. Though the world is so small and we all livein it, yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances, some smaller, some larger.With the passage of time, one cannot, regretfully relive(重温) it with the same feeling as one had in the picture.What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places.They fill one with nostalgia(怀旧) in various degrees--some more, some less, and others none.That's why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones, they're even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.How these pieces of thought influence me！Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment, which may not remain.The image is always there but not its owner, whom the photo can't keep ,neither can it keep the event.Of course, there are some of the photos still holding my affection, such as those taken with my family members, with favorite playmates, fellow girl-students and best friends, not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.Now, since I have learned all this, I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others. I'll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.4.Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?A .She took fewer of them.B. She took photos thoughtlessly.C. She didn't take good care of them.D. She only liked the bald baby picture.5.What can we get from the old photos according to the writer?A .All the past events.B. Some past happiness.C. All the past excitement.D. The everlasting memory.6. What does the underlined word “sentiment” in paragraph 5 proba bly mean?A. LookB. ThoughtC. FeelingD. Influence7. What is the writer likely to do when asked to take photos others?A To take the photo happily.B To refuse the request politely.C To ignore the request casually.D To think carefully before action.CAs an Asian country, Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized, with English among the country’s four official languages, but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from English we know, the sign read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and “Here can charge phone” instead of “Charge phone here”. This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English or Singlish.The New York Times calls Singlish “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民) from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.For example, in Singlish, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as” Mee Siam” and “da bao”. Sentence structures like ” toilet where” instead of “where’s the toilet” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapore’s government. It is concern ed that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors.It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.But this does not mean that standard English is being abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives credit--they can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switching-- we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how act at work or school,” wrote Cheryl, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine, “To actively urge us to give up a language t hat speaks to the very heart of who we are, that so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is shortsighted, surely.”8．Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A .It is made up of migrants.B. It is highly westernized.C. It is influenced by Chinese.D. It is affected by official languages.9．What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?A. To stop the new trend.B. To better the relationship.C. To keep the English standard.D. To give the government credit.10．What do the young people think of Singlish?A．It’s interesting. B. It’s their identity.C. It’s a sign of status.D. It’s a way of code-switching.11．What can we learn from what Cheryl said?A．Different people speak different styles of Singlish.B．Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.C．People speaks Singlish only to friends and drivers.D．People can use Singlish to express themselves well.DAn article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogsBramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. "What these features and facts appear to be telling us is t hat running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today," says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great dist ances in order to exhaust them before killing them."Research on the history of humans' ability to move has traditionally been controversial, " says Lieberman. "At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. "12. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?A. It has played an important role in human evolution.B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.C. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.13. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors?A. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.C. people's shoulders allow them to look from side to side.D. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances.14. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.A. always came across dangerous situations in lifeB. ran after animals for long distances when huntingC often failed to find food because they couldn't run fastD developed their hunting skills by running long distances15. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________.A completely explain how running developedB revolutionize the theory of human evolutionC. be widely supported within the scientific communityD. encourage more in-depth studies on the topic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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Visitors will find temperate rainforests, glacier-covered mountains, and almost 120 kilometers of wild coastline.HistoryThe Olympic Peninsula has seen travelers from many countries throughout history, including Mexico, Spain, France, Russia, and England. Many travelers from these countries arrived in the late 1700s. Later, in the 1800s, people began moving west across North America to search for gold.This era was known as the “Gold Rush.”To protect the nature of the area, President Grover Cleveland declared the Olympic Peninsula's forests as the Olympic Forest Reserve in 1897. And in 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the bill that established the Olympic National Park.PeopleEight Native American tribes are closely connected to the area. American courts also gave Native American tribes the right to continue their traditional fishing practices in the area. They work with the National Park Service to protect the area’s natural resources.Places to goOlympic National Park has meadows and lakes. It has glacier-fed rivers and mountain peaks that rise more than 2,300 meters. Each area of the park offers visitors something special.The Elwha Valley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula's largest watershed. The Hoh River is on the west side of the park. The river is formed from melted glacial ice on top of Mount Olympus. Hurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park.

It offers relaxing beaches, and exciting walks through lush rainforests. There truly is something for everyone at Olympic National Park.21.What can’t be seen in the Olympic National Park?A.

President Grover started the construction of it.C. No native Americans are living there.D. You can see various animals and plants there.23.You can probably read the passage in _____ .A. a tour brochureB. an announcementC. a story bookD. an official documentBDear Preston Thomas,You were head of the lower school, deputy head, head, and my A-level tutor for economics, and there are a few things I might usefully get off my chest. The boy who secretly gave a candy-shaped laxative(泻药) to the greedy classmate who was stealing everyone’s sweets, causing a hygiene（卫生）crisis in Humanities? That was me. The waste of space who quarreled with another pupil spilled from the classroom on to the gravel pitch and ended up with us chasing each other in circles around the playground, pursued by the supply teacher who never came again? Yep, guilty. I was one of the shadowy figures who were able to let themselves back into the school in the early by means of a stolen skeleton key.It all seems quite silly now but I am sure that if you had been able to pull together the various strands and establish a pattern, you would have dealt with it in that calm, authoritative, sensible and humorous way that you dealt with everything. It was the funniest thing. We weren’t scared of you; but at the same time, we thought we shouldn’t mess with you. You said that I should opt for A-level economics, ignoring my protests about inability in maths. You were right.And then there’s the occasion I carry with me. It occurred in the sixth grade when I commandeered an empty classroom as a changing room and was locked in by schoolmates who, in addition, had stolen my shorts and trousers. That took some explaining when the melee（混战）caught your attention, but you didn’t ask for an explanation. “You don’t stop making mistakes as you get older,” you said with a wry smile. “You just hope to make fewer.”Hugh24.What caused a hygiene crisis in Humanities?A. The author cheated a classmate to eat a sweet-like laxative.B. The author had a quarrel with another pupil.C. The author came back to school with a stolen skeleton key.D. The author had his shorts and trousers stolen.25.Which word can best describe the author in lower school?A. CleverB. NaughtyC. ActiveD. Funny26.Mr. Thomas dealt with students’ tricks by ______ them.A. punishingB. toleratingC. blamingD. comforting27.What’s the purpose of the letter?A. To recall what happened in lower schoolB. To admit what the author did in lower schoolC. To praise the teacherD.To say sorry to the teacherCSomali pirates robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly 1,200 miles off the Somali coast, the farthest-off-shore attack to date, an officer said Tuesday.Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force, said a spokesman.The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that theinter national patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”.“Once they start attacking that far out, you're not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia.” said an officer, Roger Middleton. “Once you're that far out, it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you're looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia to South Africa.”“This is the farthest robbing to date. They are now operating near the Maldives and India.” said another officer.The three ships-the MV Prantalay 11,12，and 14-had 77 members on board in total. All of them are Thai, the spokesman said. Before the Sunday robbing, pirates held 11ships and 228 sailors.Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships, the success rate(率) has gone down, though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.28. The pirate attack reported in the text happened________.A. far out in the Indian OceanB. in the normal patrol areaC. near the Somali coastD. in the south of Africa29. According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?A. More goods on board are lost.B. Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.C. The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.D. Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.30. Which is TRUE about the warship patrols according to the text?A. The patrols are of little effect.B. The patrols are more difficult.C. More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.D. The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.31. How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?A. 228.B. 77.C. 383.D. 305.DLong before iPhones, the cigarette was the companion of choice for restlessness. And longbefore Facebook and WeChat, it was tobacco that promised to better your social life. Now,quitting smartphones has become the new quitting smoking.Of course, technology does not yellow your teeth, cause disease or lead to cancer. But someindividuals are so concerned that device addiction is damaging their mental health. In ordertoreduce their dependence, even in Silicon Valley, people are turning off the messages thatconstantly buzz for their attention, banning smartphones from the bedroom and, curiously,changing the colours on their screens to a less tempting scale of grey.The big tech companies will have to work out how to respond to this new generation ofquitters. Facebook is the first to go public with its attempt, hoping its recent move to make thesocial network feel more homely.Last year the tech industry got a bad name —Big Tech —with unfortunate echoes of otherindustries that have faced fierce opposition, including Big Tobacco. Like them, the tech industryhas to reduce concern from a new generation of activist shareholders（股东）that are questioningits role in the world. These campaigns are never as fierce as those faced by Big Tobacco. In the 1990s, socially responsible investors refused to put money in tobacco stocks.It is far difficult for investors to challenge Big Tech and hard to separate the good thesecompanies do in the world — connecting old friends and giving space for people to share theirideas — from the bad. In the meantime, stopping using technology remains problematic. In TheWorld Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech, Franklin Foer argues that tech shouldbe seen in a similar way to junk food: a convenience that some reject for more continuingnutrition.So we need to do more to turn the tide. In the same way that public service announcementsmade smoking around your children taboo（禁忌）, we can warn parents against losingthemselves in their smartphones while taking care of kids. We can also create no-smartphonezones at dinner. Eventually, smartphones could be banned from all public places and help us giveour attention to the people around us instead.32. How did people keep close relationships with others in the past?A. By smoking.B. By drinking .C. By phoning.D. By dining out.33. Why is the tech industry called Big Tech?A. It plays a bad role in the world.B. It is as big as Big Tobacco.C. It has an unfortunate name.D. It is a giant in Silicon Valley.34. What can we infer from Franklin Foer’s argument about tech?A. It promotes social development.B. It is still favored by some people.C. It is worse than Big Tobacco.D. It offers continuing nutrition.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Creating a No Smartphone LifeB. Smartphones Enrich Our Social LifeC. Smoking Does Greater Harm Than Smartphones DoD.

ALife experiences can show one’s “grit”(坚韧). Complex challenges early in life helped the following people develop skills that got them to the top of theirprofessions.Ursula Burns, Chairwoman, VEON; Former CEO, XeroxHer family was so poor that her single mother traded office cleaning for health care.But Burns’ early gift for maths won her a scholarship and an internship at Xerox, where she would compete her way to the top. “ I'm a black lady from the Lower East Side,” she says, “Not a lot scares me.”Howard Schultz, Executive Chairman, StarbucksSchultz grew up in public housing in Brooklyn, surrounded by poverty, and was the first in his family to go to college (on a football scholarship).After training in sales, he set up the company that would later buy Starbucks. “In the c ourse of the year I spent trying to raise money, I spoke to 242 people, and 217 of them said no.” he said.Sean Combs, CEO, Sean JohnCombs began a generation of hip-hop talent and made a lasting influence on fashion.But his story could have turned out much differently: His drug dealer father was killed when he was3. “It made me work even harder.” he recently said.Geisha Williams, CEO, PG&EHer parents fled Cuba when Williams was 5. By 7, she was her parents’ main translator in talks with lawyers and accountants at gr ocery stores they owned.The experience did help her. “I went from thinking I could be a manager to thinking I could do something much bigger.” she told Fortune.1.Who did best in math at school?A. CombsB. BurnsC. SchultzD. Williams2.. How did the death of Combs’ father influence him?A.It made him a failure.B.He became a drug dealer.C.It made him even stronger.D.He became a hip-hopper.3. What can we learn from the passage?A.Cuba is a good place to do business.B.No one wanted to help Schultz at first.C.Poor family kids can be successful easily.D.Difficulty in life pushed Williams forward.BLooking at a pile of old photos, I couldn't help feeling rather regretful.I've never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it's almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques.The bald(秃头的) baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, it's now missing.Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes. Though the world is so small and we all live in it, yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances, some smaller, some larger.With the passage of time, one cannot, regretfully relive(重温) it with the same feeling as one had in the picture.What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places.They fill one with nostalgia(怀旧) in various degrees--some more, some less, and others none.That's why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept withthe current ones, they're even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.How these pieces of thought influence me！Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment, which may not remain.The image is always there but not its owner, whom the photo can't keep ,neither can it keep the event.Of course, there are some of the photos still holding my affection, such as those taken with my family members, with favorite playmates, fellow girl-students and best friends, not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.Now, since I have learned all this, I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others. I'll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.4.Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?A .She took fewer of them.B. She took photos thoughtlessly.C. She didn't take good care of them.D. She only liked the bald baby picture.5.What can we get from the old photos according to the writer?A .All the past events.B. Some past happiness.C. All the past excitement.D. The everlasting memory.6. What does the underlined word “sentiment” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. LookB. ThoughtC. FeelingD. Influence7. What is the writer likely to do when asked to take photos others?A To take the photo happily.B To refuse the request politely.C To ignore the request casually.D To think carefully before action.CAs an Asian country, Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized, with English among the country’s four official languages, but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from English we know, the sign read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and “Here can charge phone” instead of “Charge phone here”. This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English or Singlish.The New York Times calls Singlish “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民) from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own ver sions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.For example, in Singlish, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as” Mee Siam” and “da bao”. Sentence structures like ” toilet where” instead of “where’s the toilet” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapore’s government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors.It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.But this does not mean that standard English is being abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives credit--they can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switching-- we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how act at work or school,” wrote Cheryl, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine, “To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are, that so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is shortsighted, surely.”8． Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A .It is made up of migrants.B. It is highly westernized.C. It is influenced by Chinese.D. It is affected by official languages.9． What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?A. To stop the new trend.B. To better the relationship.C. To keep the English standard.D. To give the government credit.10． What do the young people think of Singlish?A．It’s interesting. B. It’s their identity.C. It’s a sign of status.D. It’s a way of code-switching.11． What can we learn from what Cheryl said?A．Different people speak different styles of Singlish.B． Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.C． People speaks Singlish only to friends and drivers.D． People can use Singlish to express themselves well.DAn article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. "What these features and facts appear to be telling us is t hat running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to theprotein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today," says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great dist ances in order to exhaust them before killing them."Research on the history of humans' ability to move has traditionally been controversial, " says Lieberman. "At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. "12. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?A. It has played an important role in human evolution.B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.C. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.13. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors?A. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.C. people's shoulders allow them to look from side to side.D. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances.14. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.A. always came across dangerous situations in lifeB. ran after animals for long distances when huntingC often failed to find food because they couldn't run fastD developed their hunting skills by running long distances15. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________.A completely explain how running developedB revolutionize the theory of human evolutionC. be widely supported within the scientific communityD. encourage more in-depth studies on the topic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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

But this habit can cause us pain in the neck, shoulders and the lower back. Worse still, this posture (姿态) may also make us age more quickly.The most common change in posture as we age is that our bodies gradually return to the foetal (胎儿的) position: the head and shoulders move forwards, the chest curls inwards and the spine (脊柱) goes from a healthy Scurve to a less healthy Cposition.The main cause of this is weak abdominal (腹部的) muscles from years of sittingin a hunched position, according to Carolyn Hewison, physiotherapy manager for the Nuffield chain hospitals group.“If you look around, you see many people over 50, particularly women, who are starting to develop this stance (姿态)，” Hewison told the Daily Mail early this month.Hewison suggests standing up straight several times a day with your back to the wall, heels against the skirting board (踢脚线) and your shoulders and head touching the wall to encourage better posture.“Try to maintain the position as you walk away，” she says. “The more often you do this, the more accustomed our abdominal and back muscles become to providing the necessary support.”Besides bad posture, another cause of weak abdominal muscles is sarcopenia (肌肉减少症) — a gradual loss in muscle mass. According to research, from the age of 25 we all lose an average of a fifth of every 450 grams of muscle each year.There is no means of preventing it completely, but latest research suggests the best preventative measure is doing regular weight training to keep up muscle strength.Osteoporosis (骨质疏松) also contributes to the problem, according to Tom Crisp, a sports expert and lower back expert at the Barbican BUPA medical center, London.However, “you can lessen the risk of getting a hump (驼背) just by being active from as young an age as possible to slow the rate of bone loss linked to osteoporosis，” Crisp said.4. What could be the worst effects of bad sitting habits?A．Speeding up the aging process. B． Pain in the neck and shoulders. C． Loss of bone mass. D． Loss of muscle mass.5. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3?A． The change in posture. B． Years of bad posture while sitting. C． Weak abdominal muscles. D． The main cause of posture change. 6．According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A． Standing up straight frequently can contribute to better posture.B． Doing regular weight training can completely prevent sarcopenia.C． From the age of 30, people lose a fifth of every 450 grams of muscle each year. D． Old people no longer have any abdominal muscles.7．What can be concluded from the article?A． Weak abdominal muscles lead to sarcopenia.B． Osteoporosis is the main cause of weak abdominal muscles.C． Our bone mass doesn't experience a decrease until the age of 25.D. Doing regular sport at a young age can keep bones and muscles stronger.CWeaving hammocks（吊床） is an art that takes a sharp eye, a skilled hand and lots of patience. But in Lenwood Haddock’s case, being blin d works to his advantage. His trained, sensitive hands can perfectly handle every step of the complicated process. Since beginning his craft in 1986, Lenwood has woven about 145,000 perfect hammocks.Now 61, Lenwood lost his sight in 1973, at age 18, during a hunting accident. “My whole working career has been blind,” he says. He first found a job as a woodworker, but when that organization closed, the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind connected him with Hatteras Hammocks.On his fir st day of work, “I did a total of one hammock,” Lenwood recalls, laughing. “And then I came home and laid on the sofa and went to sleep. I lift weights, but I wasn’t as tough as I thought until I started weaving. It takes a lot of energy, and you’re standing up all day.”In time, however, Lenwood got into a good working rhythm and found he had a gift for the job. At first he worked on-site at the company, but after a year Lenwood moved his operation to the home workshop where he’d worked for 10 years du ring his woodworking days.Since Lenwood began with Hatteras Hammocks 30 years ago, the company has acquired other brands and changed its name to The Hammock Source.

How to Become a Successful CraftsmanDThe girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo，California，all have the same access to computers as boys.But researchers say，by the time they get to high school，they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender gap in technology.Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Woman says，“Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer.They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving，rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information.”After reexamining a thousand studies, the American Association of University women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes.Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.The instructor of this computer lab says he’s already noticed some differences.Charles says，“Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer，whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow.”Six years ago，the s oftware company Purple Moon noticed that girls’computer usage was falling behind boys.Karen Gould says，“The number one reason girls told us they don’t like computer games is not because they’re too violent，or too competitive. Girls just said they’re incredibly boring.” Purple Moon says it found what girls want，characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what’sgoing on in their own lives.The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this，the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.12．The best title for the passage would be________.A． The Uses of Computers B． The Development of ComputersC． Types of Computers D． Computers and Girls13．When does the difference begin to appear in using computers?A． In kindergarten.
