For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)To the cheering of taxi drivers and the honking of horns, the edian and actor Eddie Izzard ran into London yesterday to plete his 43rd marathon in 52 days. In total he had covered 1,100 miles. His 43 marathons were in aid of the charity Sports Relief, which raises money for the poor all over the world. So far Izzard has raised more than £200,000.Fighting blisters (水泡) that have caused the nails on his smaller toes to fall off, he ran up The Mall and into Trafalgar Square, where he had started 7.5 weeks ago. In finishing he proved what many thought was an impossible task: that a 47-year-old edian with no sporting experience could do something a top athlete might find difficult.After only six weeks’ training he started out on a journey that would take him to every corner of the Briti sh Isles. “The first three weekswere the hardest,” he said. The non-stop pressure on his body made him unable to sleep at night and he would wake exhausted with “blisters on top of blisters”.But the people he met along the way cheered him up. “People sto pped their cars and cheered. They gave me money and food.” More than 500,000 people “followed” the edian, in a different sense, on Twitter. Running into London he looked lean and muscular. “Everyone says my legs look very good but I thought they looked qui te good beforehand,” he said.Simon Blease, 51, a sports doctor and mountain runner who has been following his progress, was waiting on Tower Bridge. “I didn’t think he could do it,” he said. “Like a lot of people I thought he would have a good try, but his body would break down. Someone with so little training, I find it extraordinary that he has done it.”Asked what he had gained, Izzard said: “I know now I can do that. Sport is one of those words that stopped being part of my life when I was about 14. Sporting success was not something I ever associated myself with.” He now plans to continue jogging and hopes to inspire others into sport.66. Which of the following statements is true about Eddie Izzard?A. He took part in 43 marathon petitions in 52 days.B. He was sponsored by Sports Relief in the running.C. He ran 1,100 miles for the purpose of helping the poor.D. He took the challenge to prove he could be a top athlete.67. What difficulty did Eddie Izzard meet with during the running?A. Injury in his ankles.B. Sleeplessness at night.C. Pressure to win.D. Inadequate time.68. What Simon Blease said implies that ________.A. he thought Eddie would fail halfwayB. training may not be necessary for marathon runnersC. Eddie is a good model for others to followD. Eddie owed his success to his strong body69.Which of the following words can NOT describe Eddie Izzard?A. Humourous.B. Persevering.C. Loving.D. Creative.(B)CAGAN SEKERCIOGLU is an ornithologist (鸟类学家) who works to document and prevent bird extinctions. He’s also a professor in the U.S. who runs an award-winning conservation (保护) group in his native Turkey. All those pursuits require flexibility --- and each involves big risks.Why do you do what you do? Who inspired you?I’ve always been drawn to nature. When other kids were playing soccer, I was bringing home insects and other animals. My mom took me to a child psychologist! But my beloved dad is my biggest inspiration. During tough economic times he left a safe accounting job to start Turkey’s first model-airplane pany. It lasted 30 years.What are the physical dangers of your work?A whole range of dangers. While surveying birds I’ve been chased by a brown bear in Alaska and an elephant in Tanzania. I’ve been faced with a poisonous snake in Uganda. I’ve been caught between the military and terrorists, mistaken for a spy, held at gunpoint, kidnapped in Ethiopia, and attacked by a masked man in Costa Rica. Honestly, I’m often more afraid of people and traffic than I am of wildlife.Is it politically difficult to be an environmentalist in Turkey?It is when I criticize the institutions that grant my research permits. But it’s my duty as a scientist to tell the truth. The government talks about conservation, but its priority is to turn nature into cash. So it uses double standards. They are reforesting while cutting down old-growth forests. Actually every river is dammed, and the organization building those dams is responsible for regulating them. I’m trying to stop one that will destroy the Aras River wetlands, where half of Turkey’s bird species live. Yet if I speak out too much, I’ll be punished for a seemingly official, legal reason. Revenge in Turkey is usually indirect.You spend many hours on advocating conservation. Does that hurt your academic career?Some academics see it as a distraction (不务正业). So far my school, the University of Utah, has been very understanding and appreciative. But I have to walk a thin line.Do you ever feel scared by all the risks you face?Well, I don’t actively seek risk. But I don’t avoid it either. Taking a risk means you can fail. But if you fail, at least you tried. And that’s all I can do. If I fail in the end, I fail fighting.70. The interviewee’s father inspired him to ________.A. take risksB. pursue his own goalsC. love natureD. develop his unique character71. Which of the following experiences has the interviewee NOT encountered?A. Being suspected of collecting secret information.B. Being chased by wild beasts.C. Being punished for a legal reason.D. Being pointed at by a gun.72. According to the passage, which of the following can be referred toas advocating conservation?A. Opposing double standards.B. Criticizing the government’s policies.C. Regulating dams.D. Protecting wetlands.73. By saying “I have to walk a thin line.” the interviewee means that ________.A. he should make a balance between the Turkish government and the University of UtahB. he should spend more time on research work than on advocacyC. he should cope with the difficult situation cautiouslyD. he should not do anything against the law(C)The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as plex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to make it intelligent by loading in the right software or by altering the architecture.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to pete and then exceed (胜过) their human ancestors. Once they exceed us, they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce (繁殖) themselves. Silicon will have ended human beings’long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost falls through economies of scale, we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to hold out against environments harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a bination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands of millions of people, will be within our power.74. In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A. By making it work in such environments as deserts or oceans.B. By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C. By properly programming it or changing its structure.D. By reproducing it.75. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A. He believes they will be useful to human beings.B. He believes that they will claim themselves to be the finest intelligence in space.C. He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D. He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.76. A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when ________.A. there’s no question as to its intelligence and costB. it is able to bear the rough environmentC. it is made as plex as the human brainD. its architecture is different from that of the present one77. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. after the installation of a great number of cells and connections robots will be capable of self-reproductionB. with the rapid development of technology, people have e to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC. once we make a machine as plex as the human brain, it will automatically possess intelligenceD. it is certain that in the distant future robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in spaceSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories e from fat,” says Chwang.Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, Asians’ hospitality（好客）is the first and foremost reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.Needless to say, that children are being spoilt by their parents is another cause of children’s overweight. More than anyone else, childrenare on the receiving end of their parents’ improved circumstances. “In the past, people had four or more children —now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look t hin.”When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says: “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play children spend too much time on. Children get fat because they don’t move, and eventually, they don’t want to move because they’re fat. Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the puter playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” s ays Chwang.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. _______________________ has led to the increase of children’s calorie intake despite the same volume of food.79. Thanks to_______________________, big meals nowadays are no longerenjoyed on special occasions.80. Why do some parents feel bad when their children look thin?81. According to Dr. Chwang, what are the three factors causing Asian children’s overweight today?第II卷I.

Cancer Defeats No Willing HeartCEach year, people buy millions of aquarium (水族箱) fish, Most of the fish species have a natural life span of at least several years. Some of them can live up to a decade or more in the wild. But somehow most of the fish died within weeks or even within hours after you had bought there. For sure, fish are weak creatures compared to us. It does not mean they died for no reason at all.Since fish have no body heat, they are sensitive to sudden changes in water temperature. Water pH and water harness can also affect them if there is a sudden change. Most of the quick deaths of fish are due to shock.Tap water is not a perfect choice for aquarium fish because of the chlorine (氯) in the tap water, which can kill the fish. So the best way is to just put the tap water in the sun for a few days.Fish need oxygen in the water. They will die if the oxygen in the aquarium runs out. Several things con cause it to happen. The aquarium is too small, that is, less water means less oxygen. The aquarium is too crowded, for the morn fish you have, the more oxygen they need. The temperature is too high, because the higher the water temperature, the less dis-solved oxygen.Overfeeding the fish can cause a digestive (消化的) problem and kill the fish directly. More food than they are needed can also cause water pollution and create more harmful waste which wail kill the fish too. Feed the fish:only once a day, with no more food than they can eat in less than a minute. In this case, less is better.8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To bring forward the issue.B. To make the article interesting.C. To state aquarium fish are weakD. To provide some advice for the renders.9. Which aspect of change is least likely to be a deadly shock do fish?A. Water temperature.B. Water depth.C. Water harness.D. Water ah.10. What can be inferred about aquarium fish?A. They prefer high water temperature.B. They live longer in the small aquarium.C.

By making comparisons.DWhat happens in your brain when you hear a wrong note in a piece of music? Researchers from the University of Tokyo found that this depends on whether you’ve had music lessons or not.In a recent study, the researchers asked about a hundred 15- year-olds to listen to a piece of music while their brain was scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which shows which areas of the brain are active during a certain task.Two thirds of the volunteers had received music lessons before they were 9 years old, while the remaining third either never took lessons or didn’t start until they were in high school. Each volunteer was asked to prepare for the test by listening to three classical music pieces in the week leading up to the experiment. That way, they would all be familiar with the music, and the students who had heard any of the pieces before in their music lessons would not be at an advantage.During the experiment, the volunteers heard the same pieces, but now with errors in it. Over-all, everyone’s brain showed activity in a region of the brain related to processing sound, no matter what errors they heard. That makes sense-they were listening intently to the music.But there were some big differences between the students who had had music lessons quite young and thosethat didn’t. The musicians group showed much more activity in different parts of the brain. However there was one part of the brain that everyone appeared to use when they heard an error in music-a language region. Even though the music was instrumental, errors in the phrasing of music seemed to be linked to language processing, and this happened regardless of how much music education the volunteers had received.“This connection between music and language might explain why everyone can enjoy music even if they are not musical themselves,” says Kuniyoshi Sakai, who led the research study.12. What do we know about the volunteers of the experiment?A. They were all from the same school.B. They had the same musical background.C. They listened to the music pieces in advance.D. Their brain was scanned using different device.13. Why can music lead to activity in the brain’s language area?A. Music communicated ideas in a way similar to language.B. The language area is responsible for dealing with sound information.C. Other brain regions in charge of music are closely linked to the language area.D. The expression of errors in music has something to do with language processing.14. What does the underlined word “intently” in paragraph four mean?A. In the absence of mind.B. With confusion.C. In admiration.D. With whole attention.15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Environment.B. Science.C. Education.D. Health.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项. 选项中有两项为多余选项,How to apply for high school scholarshipsHere’s a step-by step guide to applying for scholarships as a high school student.Make a list.

This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could bee better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as being one of history’s most romantic characters.Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.61. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?A.

The last of the three hundred gold medals has been awarded and the flags of the winners have been raised for the last time.The final event is the closing ceremony. This occasion is always sad and happy at the same time. It is a sad occasion because the tremendous excitement is over, and it will not happen again for four years. Those who have made friends will have to say goodbye, perhaps for ever. It is also a happy occasion because the petition is over and the athletes can really show their friendship for one another.The closing ceremony is rather like the opening. But now the Olympic flame goes out and the Olympic flag, with its five rings, is lowered. The person who closes the Games calls upon the youth of the world to meet again in four years’ time. The scoreboard lights up with the name of the city for the next Games and the band starts to play. Then the celebration starts.All the athletes try to be at the closing ceremony. They have forgotten all their fears and worries. It does not matter whether they have done well or not. All the teams walk round the stadium together. Everybody is laughing and joking. The band plays and people start to dance.After that, everybody in the Village clears up and gets ready to leave. Everyone is hunting for souvenirs. People exchange track suits, hats, running vests and badges. There is a last chance to take photographs and get addresses of new friends. Then each team starts its journey home.68.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.72._____________Stress es from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. You need stress in your life. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavour, challenge, and opportunity to life. Too much stress, however, can seriously affect your physical and mental peace. A major challenge in this stress-filled world of today is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.73. ____________When you are nervous, angry, or upset, release the pressure through exercise or physicalactivities. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve that “uptight” fe eling, relax you, and turn the frowns (皱眉) into smiles. Remember, your body and your mind work together.74.____________You are special. Get enough rest and eat well. If a problem is beyond your control and cannot be changed at the moment, don’t fight the situation. If you are irritable (急躁的) and tense from lack of sleep or if you are not eating correctly, you will have less ability to deal with stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun, or you should ask your doctor for help. Be good to yourself.75.____________One way to keep from getting aboard, sad, and lonely is to go where it’s all happening. Sitting alone can make you feel disappointed. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, get involved. Offer your services in neighbourhood or volunteer organizations. Help yourself by helping other people. Get involved in the world and the people around you, and you’ll find they will be attracted to you. You will be on your way to make new friends and enjoy new activities.76.____________The best way of avoiding stress is to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relaxat the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. For a while, forget your worries about time, productivity, and “doing right”. You will find satisfaction in just being, without struggling hard. Find activities that give you pleasure and that are good for your mental and physical well-being. Read a good book or listen to beautiful music to create a sense of peace. Forget about always winning. Focus on relaxation, enjoyment, and health.第Ⅱ卷（24%）IV.

（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）AChinese New Year is a celebration marking the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring. This is why decorating rooms with plants, fruits and blooming flowers carries special significance. They represent the earth coming back to life and wishes for new beginnings. Here are some of the most popular things and their special meanings.Oranges TreesOrange trees are more than decorations; they are a symbol of good luck and wealth. They make great gifts and you see them many times decorated with red envelopes and messages of good blessings. The fruits are a lso some of the “lucky” foods, which are a must during the celebrations.BambooChinese love their “Lucky Bamboo” plants and you will see them often in their homes and offices. Certainly during the holiday period, this plant is a must. Bamboo plants and stems are used frequently in feng shui and are associated with health, abundance and a happy home. They are easy to care for and make great presents.Brunches of Plum Blossoms (梅花)The beautiful long branches covered with pink-colored buds(蓓蕾) make fantastic decorations. The plum trees are the first to flower even as snow is melting after a cold winter. They represent the promise of spring and a renewal of life.PeoniesPeonies stand for prosperity and peace and are considered as China’s national flower; they are often a subject of classical paintings. The peony is also known as the “king of flowers” and represents royalty, virtue and honor.NarcissiNarcissi flower right around Chinese New Year and are considered as a symbol of luck and wealth. Their sweet fragrance(芳香) is also highly respected in Chinese culture.1. If you are not good at growing plants, which will you probably choose?A. Bamboo.B. Plum blossoms.C. PeoniesD. Narcissi2. What is special about peony?A. Oil painters prefer painting it.B. It is usually used in feng shui.C. It bears fruits considered as lucky foods.D. It is called the “king of flowers”.3. In which section may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Science.BTo say there are many new holiday romantic comedies made for television every year is the kind of understatement nearly like a joke. One of the reasons why they tend to be formulaic(公式化的) is that to tell a love story in roughly an hour and a half without cha llenging an audience’s settled expectations, there are only so many ways to go with the rhythm. Perhaps that’s why Netflix has better luck with Dash＆Lily, an eight-episode(八集) limited series that’s got the charm that a lot of holiday films lack.Our story begins when a lonely Lily leaves an interesting note in a book on the shelf at The Strand, hoping a stranger will start an adventure with her. Dash finds it and reads it, and he accepts its challenge. Thus begins a correspondence in which they each write down messages in the book and then leave it somewhere for the other, so that they never meet in person, but they get to send each other to their favorite places, sometimes to complete dares before the book can be found. Now, you do not want to think too carefully about this ——the idea that Lily’s hidden clue would be found by an age-appropriate straight boy who likes mysteries and looks like he was born to be her lover is the height of magic, so just stay relaxed and go with it.These eight episodes, each around 30 minutes, never drag; they fly by joyfully. The ending, as is often the case with love stories, is a little messy but worth cheering for. It’s as lovely and comfortable as you could want it, just about perfect for a weekend with a blanket over you.4. What made Dash＆Lily stand out among other films?A. Being formulaic to tell a romantic story.B. Presenting a new romantic television show.C. Attracting the audience with its typical charm.D. Satisfying the audience’s settled expectations.5. What does the underlined word “correspondence” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Relationship between two facts.B. Communication connecting two persons.C. Reports of study sent off by post.D. Action of writing, receiving, and reading letters.6. Which of the following best describes Dash?A. Preferring reading.B. Behaving strangely.C. Acting romantically.D. Enjoying adventures.7. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a charming movie.B. To recommend a holiday comedy.C. To praise the romantic director.D. To explain what makes a good film.CBuying clothes for a special event, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers tends to buy clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” makes it online, they return it to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) --- where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home --- could be contributing to this rising trend.But the rise of social media has meant that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandon ed,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand.Another favorite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work unifo rms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the annoyance of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe”(胶囊衣柜), which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.8. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest?A. Some Britons send outfits back after shoots.B. Britons try on clothes before online purchases.C. Britons follow the fashion stars closely.D. Some Britons over-order and return clothes.9. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service?A. Renting chargeable designer clothes.B. Creating unique shopping experiences.C. Offering customers single-use clothes.D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.10. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”?A. Better fewer, but better.B. Less addition, but more enjoyment.C. Less uniform, and more freedom.D. More choices, and less annoyance.11. What’s the purpose of the author to write the text?A. To compare different wearing trends.B. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.C. To advocate buying high-quality clothes.D. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.DEveryone needs to be safe, loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to please others. And it works for a while. We find that we experience less conflict with others, but the conflict within ourselves grows. Saying “no” produces feeling of guilt andsaying “yes” brings anger.My father was in the military, so we moved frequently. Being shy, I didn’t make friends. What’s more, I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were very important. In our household a “C” was unacceptable, a “B” should have been an “A” and an “A” meant the lesson was too easy. I was too skinny, my sister was too fat and my brother’s lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It’s a long process, one in w hich I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got married. The very first thing we did to end the cycle of pleasing others was develop our own identity as independent human beings and then as a couple. And then we developed a strong set of core(核心) values and a vision for our future. The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.Besides, we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. The struggle is necessary to success. The struggle strengthens character, making people determined. So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.12. How are we likely to feel when pleasing others?A. AngryB. Satisfied.C. GuiltyD. Happy13. What can we infer from the author’s experience as a child?A. He grew up doing a lot of housework.B. It was hard for him to adapt to the moving life.C. He realized the value of opinions from others.D. His parents had great expectations of the children.14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.B. Why the author further developed his values and character.C. How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.D. When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.15. What does the author suggest doing?A. Helping others without delay.B. Thinking twice before offering help.C. Refusing to help others.D. Leaving someone in trouble alone.第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
