Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others’ opinions or pay too much attention to details.As we all know, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one’s daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment with them. Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of keeping the promise. On the other hand, lateness sometimes brings about much trouble in solving urgent problems.As for those who are unintentionally late, like Johnson and Joanna, I have two suggestions as follows. First, whenever you make appointments with others, make sure you have understood all the details and try to get there a few minutes before the appointed time. Second, make good preparations for the appointments but never become too particular about every detail.附-1—评分标准1.本题总分为25分,按5个档次给分。

ALast year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along my iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed(推特简讯). I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vac ation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail and Twitter, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. ―I don’t need it,‖ I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed .I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.1. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.2. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.A. keep control of when and how to use the InternetB. continue to read more and more booksC. stay away from the Internet for everD. stop checking what is being said right now completely3. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.BTrip to Alaska National ParksThis four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’ Express is the most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic (全景)windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows.Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies(水稻梯田)and locals riding elephants.Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram BinghamThe Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip —which covers about 50 miles —the train winds through the thick jungle and across two high mountains. Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu, passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.4. The underlined word ―traverses‖ in Paragraph 1 probably means _______.A. leaves forB. consists ofC. moves acrossD. arrives at5. According to this passage, the longest journey may be _______.A.

The Eastern & Oriental Express is different from Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express in that _______.A. it offers satisfying serviceB. travelers feel every relaxedC. the dining car has a good environmentD. it provides a better view of the scenery7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. On the Trip to Alaska National Parks, visitors spend the night in the luxurious dining car.B. India Tour offers different attractions, varying from experiencing the cultural relic todoing some shopping.C. On the Tales of Laos Tour, visitors can enjoy wonderful rice paddies and ride elephants.D. The Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route starts in Cuzco and ends in Machu Picchu.CDid you know that many people today are getting extra work by taking translating jobs online? It’s true! And you can do it too. Many companies in the USA need translators now to translate simple documents online from Chinese to English, such as emails, website content, movie subtitles and more.Companies like Real Translator Jobs are actively seeking translators from China to fill demand. There are more translation jobs than people to complete them. This leaves a big opportunity for anyone to start doing this and earn extra money.Do you have to speak perfect English? No! Even basic knowledge of English is OK. This is really a job for anyone from China who wants to do it.We spoke to one student from Beijing, Harris, who has been doing this for 2 years now and is earning between $150 and $225 every day. He completes about 3 to 4 jobs per day which takes him about 3 hours. It’s an incredible amount ofmoney to earn !It is great that we now live in the ―Information Age‖ and opportunities like this are available to people in China to earn extra money working from home over the Internet. This type of work is surely to do great things for young people in China.If you would also like to do this, it’s easy to get started. Just follow these steps:1. Sign up at Real Translator Jobs (where Chinese translators are needed now), or a similar service.2. Review the job posting and complete the ones you like.3. Get paid once per month by cheque, PayPal or bank wire transfer.I hope you enjoyed this information and good luck earning extra money online translating documents.8.

Getting paid once a month in cash.DWe spend a quarter of our lives asleep. Sleep is necessary for the body to rest, yet our brains continue to process information. Studies have shown that students are more successful when they sleep after studying–instead of pulling all-nighters–because the brain reviews information learned. Similarly, dreaming is an opportunity to work out emotional problems and form thoughts and memories. About 25 percent of the time spent sleeping is spent in rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. This type of sleep is known for when dreams occur, but it also helps energize the brain and body.Researchers have found two important factors regarding humans and sleep: basic sleep need and sleep debt. Basicsleep need is the amount of sleep we need to have regularly to perform at our best. Sleep debt is the loss of sleep. A few studies say that most adults function best with a basic sleep need of seven to eight hours a night. The problem is that sleep debt also factors in, just because that you meet your basic sleep needs a few nights of the week doesn’t mean it cancels out the effects of one night’s sleep debt.Of course, everyone is different and some people require more or less sleep than the standard basic sleep need. But the real problem lies in what lack of sleep does over the long period to people who either does not meet his or her body’s needs or for one reason or another doesn’t get enough regular sleep. It is more possible for these people to have motor vehicle accidents, weight gain and risk for heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) and may be at increased risk for psychological conditions such as depression or drug abuse. Sleeping too long also can be associated with depression and poor health.12. Most people spent around ______ of the sleeping time in REM sleep?A. One third of the timeB. More than half of the timeC. One fourth of the timeD. More than 5 hours every day13. Which of the following is NOT the result for lack of sleep according to the passage?A. Car accidents.B. Putting on weight.C. Heart problems.D. Review learning things.14. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Why We Need SleepB. REMSleep and Basic SleepC. Sleep Causes ProblemsD. How Much Sleep We Need15. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students will forget what they have learned if they go to sleep immediately after study.B. People may have an idea on how to solve an emotional problem if they have a dream.C. It’s all right to have a night of sleep debt if you fulfill several days of basic sleep need.D. Sleeping as long as you can is considered to be good for your health and performance.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。

Even though he was a great teacher, he seemed rather like a character out of a horror movie. He didn’t look that bad, but somehow, he looked extremely scary to me.Some kids began to believe that he was a murderer or a ghost; some believed he was mad and a few believed that he might have suffered a lot in his life. I was one of those “few”.One day I gathered up my courage and headed towards the school garden. He was, as usual, sitting on a bench alone. I breathed heavily a few times and then walked towards him.“How are you?” I asked with my voice crackling.He managed to say, “Fine.”“Well, good to know,” I tried to be happy.“Hmmm…” was all I heard.“What’s up with you?” then seeing a puzzled look on his face, I tried to be more formal and respectful. “I mean, why aren’t you like all other people in the school? Why are you always so quiet and sad? Why…”“No dear, some things are better left unsaid,” he said gloomily.“Oh no sir, nothing is better left unsaid. If you want to share your feelings with me and reduce the pain of your heart, you are free to do so. I promise I will never ever tell anyone.”“With you? You are just a little girl;what will you understand?”I was somehow offended but still I managed to persuade him, “So what, Sir? You see, if you tell me your problem, you will have a light heart and you will have the feeling that someone somewhere cares about you.”“Oh okay, that was a very nice belief indeed; let’s take a walk and I will let you know everything.”Soon after our little talk, there was a visible change on his face. Later that day in the class, there was a smile on his face.21. From the text, we can know about Mr. Patrick that he .A. once acted a character in a horror movieB. scared his students with his looksC. often punished the students for bad marksD. did better in teaching than others in the school22. Mr. Patrick was thought by the author to .A. be a murderer or a ghostB. be madC. have suffered a lotD. have a special personality23. While walking towards Mr. Patrick in the school garden, the author felt .A. excitedB. nervousC. worriedD. happyBInland waters may be grouped into two general classes: standing waters and flowing waters. As is often the case, the boundary between these two classes is not sharp and clear. A pond is an example of standing water. But most ponds are fed by springs or brooks and most have an outlet. Thus some current of changing water flows through them. On the other hand, a river is an example of flowing water. In some places, however, a river may have such a slow current that it is very difficult to detect.Standing inland waters differ in size, in age, and in many abiotic environmental characteristics. They range in size from roadside puddles to the Caspian Sea. Puddles may last for only a few days or weeks; ponds, for a few hundred to a thousand years.

Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries. By the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.This is act ually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development, “ both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,” Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities. Thosecities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usually unrepresentative city governments.”32.
