Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main th ing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what youwrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper(1). The topic of the passage is ________A. how to be a good writerB. how to be a good speakerC. how to express yourself with your wordsD. how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2). The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A. how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB. how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC. how to collect data needed and organize itD. how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3). The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat _______A. you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB. you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC. you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD. both of them have audience(4). In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _______A. public speaking requires less effort than writingB. it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC. you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writingis otherwiseD. in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5). The author of this passage probably is a ________A. bossB. politicianC. writerD. professor2."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil warwas the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2).

What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".3. The ordinary raindrop is a mighty earth mover with sufficient strength to cut rock. When rainwater collects on the surface of the ground, some of it evaporates and some of it sinks into the earth.The remainder begins to flow downhill, commencing its lengthy journey form brook to stream to lake, or to a river that will carry it to the sea.As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.(1). Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.A. narrowerB. deeperC. widerD. both B and C(2). The average height of the United States above sea level ___.A. is being raised each yearB. remains constantC. will reach sea level in 9000 yearsD. is being lowered little by little(3). Erosion by water results in _______.A. wearing down the soilB. building up landC. enriching the soilD. both B and C(4). Implied but not stated: ________A. Millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is nowB. Great amounts of land are moved to the sea by riversC. The water that sinks into the earth also reaches the oceanD. The Gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years(5). The best title for this selection is ________.A. How Water Destroys MountainsB. How Rivers Help UsC. The Average Height of the United StatesD. The Mighty Raindrop4. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent ( 代表 ) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1). From the passage, it can be inferred that ( ).A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems(2). The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to ( ).A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers'' attention(3). The main idea of paragraph three is that ( ).A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. Problem solving is part of life(4). According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ( ).A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems(5). The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggest that ( ).A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoid答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）1.

It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along the seafront (滨海马路) for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on his excellent cooking.I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction.When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant overand asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you!

Man young British doctors drink too much and use cannabis and other illegal drugs, according to a survey released last week.The poll of 14 junior doctors in northeastern England, published in a letter in The Lancet medical journal, showed that more than 60 per cent drank more alcohol than the recommended safe limits.Over 35 per cent of male doctors and 19 per cent of female physicians also admitted using cannabis and up to 13 per cent also took other drugs.“The current drinking habits, illegal drug use, and stress in some junior doctors is of concern,not only for their own well being, but also how they affect patients’ care,” said Dr. Farhad Kam all of the University of Newcastle, who conducted the study.The British Medical Association (BMA) said the findings were consistent with its own research into the habits of the junior doctors.The survey was released a day after Dr. Patrick Dixon, a British AIDS expert and author, called for random testing of doctors for alcohol and drug abuse.EXxon, the author of The Truth about Drugs, said that the problem, posed a significant threat to the public health because patients’ lives were being put at risk.“With around 10 per cent of all doctors either intoxicated(沉醉)or withdrawing (from drugs or alcohol) we are faced with the fact that significant numbers of doctors have impaired judgment because of addiction,” Dixon said in a telephone interview.He claimed that more than 1,000 addicted doctors in London were addicts but he said their colleagues were reluctant to identify them because of fear of retribution (报复).“Our estimate is that up to 10 percent of doctors may have a drug or alcohol problem at some time in their working lives,” a BMA spokeswoman said.36. From the first paragraph, we can know ________________.A) it is quite fashionable to take cannabis in BritainB) taking cannabis is against the law in BritainC) cannabis is something delicious to eatD) there is no limit to the use of cannabis37.

The word “impaired” (Para. 8) means ____________.A) irresponsible B) weakened C) false D) paired up40. The colleagues of the addicted doctors were unwilling to identify them because they_____________.A) did not want to lose friendshipB) lacked self-confidenceC) didn’t want to get punishedD) didn’t’ t want the addicted doctors to be punishedC. One of the most daring deep-space missions NASA has ever launched is turning out to be one of the least publicized. The target is a large asteroid (小行星) named 1992KD, which orbits the sun millions of miles from Earth. But that destination is almost incidental to the performance of the spacecraft that will make the trip. Though it looks little different from countless other unmanned probes NASA has launched, the ship will be navigated by an electronic brain that has been likened to HAL, the independent-minded computer in the film 2001, and will move through space under power of a system that has long been the stuff of technological fantasies: an ionpropulsion (离子推进) engine.If all goes as planned, Deep Space 1, scheduled for launch later this month, will be the forerunner of a new’ generation of spacecraft. While flight planners hope the ship will make some interesting observations about the target asteroid, including its composition and the structure of its surface, DS1 ‘s primary assignment is to validate a host of new technologies NASA has always considered too risky to try on a mission that may attract a great deal of public attention. Says Mar Rayman of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, DS1’ s chief engineer, “We have an unproven propulsion system, powered by an unproven solar panel, commanded by an unproven navigation system.What is most remarkable about the spacecraft is how it gets from place to place. After being launched by an ordinary rocket, DS1 will be pushed through space by an engine that works by firing electrons into atoms of xenon gas, stripping each of an electron and giving the atoms an electric charge-ionizing them. The ions are then accelerated through an electric field and emitted from the thrusters at 65,000 m. p. h. Despite that speed, the particles produce little thrust, comparable to the weight of a piece of paper.41. What is special about NASA’s planned deep-space mission regarding its publicity?A) It is targeted at a large asteroid.B) It is much less reported by the media.C) It is the same as other unmanned probes.D) It isn’t certain whether it will be successful.42. What is the primary, purpose of the DS1 mission?A) Testing new technologies for future spacecraft.B) Calculating risks for the benefit of other missions.C) Studying the surface of a large asteroid.D) Proving a new generation of spacecraft.43. Once launched, whether the spacecraft will reach its destination is incidental to theperformance of all the following EXCEPT ___________.A) the self-navigation system B) the ion-powered engineC) the solar cells D) the flight planners44. How does the DS1 leave the earth’s orbit?A) By its special propulsion engine.B) By a conventional rocket engine.C) By firing electrons into the atoms of xenon gas.D) By accelerating through an electric field.45. Which of the following is NOT true according to this article?A) The author likens the DS1’s navigation system to an electronic brain.B) The DS1 is the first of a new breed of spacecraft.C) The DS1 chief engineer has nothing to lose in such a mission.D) The DS1’s power system used to be the dream of scientists.D. Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind-foot-ball, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山).Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked uponwith astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and are powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier if probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time that younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.46. Mountaineering involves everything EXCEPT ______________.A) cold B) hardship C) risk D) astonishment47. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of __________.A) activity B) rules C) uniform D) participants48. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because _________.A) it is an Olympic eventB) teams compete against each otherC) mountaineers depend on each other while climbingD) there are 5 climbers on each team49. Mountaineers compete against __________.A) nature B) each other C) other teams D) international standards50. The best title for the passage is ___________.A) Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and FootballB) Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other SportsC) MountaineeringD) Mountain ClimbersE. Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from other.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words charactering differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.51. By using the simile (直喻) of fingerprints, the author tells us that _____.A) people differ from each other in facial featuresB) people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprintsC) people have different personalitiesD) people can learn to recognize faces52. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of _____.A) typing each otherB) telling people apart by how they behaveC) recognizing human facesD) telling good people from bad people53. Who most probably knows best hw to describe people’s personality?A) Psychologists. B) The modern TV audience.C) The ancient Greek audience D) The movie star.54. According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person form another because_____.A) human faces have complex featuresB) people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristicsC) human fingerprints provide unique informationD) people’s behavior can be easily described in words55. Which of the following is the major point of the passage?A) How to get to know people.B) Why it is necessary to identify people’s personality.C) Hoe best to recognize people.D) Why it is possible to describe people.三、完形填空(每题20分，共1题)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

(阅读理解题)The comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age, the ability to adapt towide-ranging comfort zones becomes more difficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated with self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). In order to grow and change, we must first be discontent with our current comfort zone. We must realize that all meaningful and lasting changes occur first in daydreaming and then they work their way into reality. The more clearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more real the pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once our subconscious accepts thisimage and its expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring it into reality. If we feel that these things are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the change mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management and workers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them too. Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and workers and vice versa.Note: If the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.(1). (单选题) As one grows older, ______.

(阅读理解题)Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself o r herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in buildingself-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1). (单选题) What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” in Para.1?(本题3.0分)A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B、People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C、It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D、Shy people think they are different from others.学生答案： B解析：得分： 3(2). (单选题) According to the writer, too much self-awareness is _______. (本题3.0分)A、 a weak pointy of shy peopleB、the cause of unhappinessC、 harmful to peopleD、a good quality学生答案： C标准答案：C解析：得分： 3(3). (单选题)That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ________.(本题3.0分)A、goodB、unrealC、harmfulD、very reasonable学生答案： B解析：得分： 0(4).

(单选题) It can be inferred from the passage that shypeople_________.(本题3.0分)A、should find more of their weaknessB、can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemC、had better ignore their weaknessD、should understand themselves in the right way标准答案：D19.

Recently, however, there has been a renewed interest in holistic medicine. The term “holistic” refers to treating the whole person, including the physical, emotional, mental, andspiritual aspects.Holistic medicine has many benefits. For example, it can help prevent illnesses from developing in the first place. By promoting healthy habits and behaviors, such as eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and managing stress, holistic medicine can help keep a person healthy and prevent them from getting sick.Another benefit of holistic medicine is that it focuses on treating the root cause of an illness, rather than just the symptoms. For example,traditional medicine might prescribe medication to relieve pain, but this does not necessarily solve the underlying problem. In contrast, holistic healers try to understand why the person is experiencing pain in the first place and help address the root cause of the problem.In addition, holistic medicine often takes a more personalized approach to treatment. The practitioner takes into account the patient’s unique needs, preferences, and circumstances when developing a treatment plan. This can lead to more effective treatment outcomes because the patient is more likelyto be invested in their own health.Finally, holistic medicine often incorporates a variety of healing methods, such as acupuncture, massage, meditation, and yoga. These treatments can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can in turn improve overall health and well-being.51. Holistic medicine is focused on treating the entire person, rather than just the physical aspects.52. Traditional medicine may only treat symptoms, not underlying causes.53. Holistic medicine can help prevent disease.54. Holistic medicine takes a more personalized approach to treatment.55. A variety of healing methods are used in holistic medicine.Paragraph 1: 51.Paragraph 2: 53.Paragraph 3: 52.Paragraph 4: 54.Paragraph 5: 55.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneThe Role of Music in Our LivesMusic plays an integral role in our lives. It is a form of art that touches the soul in a way that other art forms cannot match. It has the uniqueability to communicate emotions and feelings that are difficult to express in words.So, why is music so important to us? Well,for one thing, it has been with us for as long as we have been human. Archaeologists have found evidence of musical instruments from over 40,000 years ago, and it is likely that music has been a part of human culture for even longer.Another reason music is so important is that it is an universal language. Different cultures and peoples all over the world use music to express emotions and connect with each other. Even if people do not share a common language, they can still connect and bond over music.Music is also important because it can evoke strong emotions in people. Listening to music can calm you down when you are feeling anxious or stressed. Alternatively, it can make you feel energized and motivated when you need to get things done.Finally, music is important because it helpsus form our identities. The music we listen to says a lot about who we are and what we value. It can bring people together who share similar interests and tastes in music.Music has been a part of human culture for thousands of years and it is likely that it will continue to be an integral part of our lives for thousands more.56.

It can communicate difficult emotions and feelings.59. C. By forming a sense of community60. B. The role of music in human culturePassage TwoThe Importance of SleepMost adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night to function at their best. Unfortunately, many people are not getting enough sleep, which can have serious consequences for their overall health and well-being.One reason for this is the increasing use of electronic devices in the bedroom. The blue light emitted by cell phones, computers, and tablets caninterfere with the body’s production of melatonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate sleep. This can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.Another reason people may be getting less sleep is that they are not making it a priority intheir lives. Many people try to cram too much intotheir waking hours, leaving little time for sleep.This can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which can cause a range of health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.In addition, some people may have disorders that prevent them from getting enough sleep. For example, sleep apnea is a disorder in which aperson’s breathing is interrupted during sleep, leading to frequent awakenings and a loss of quality sleep.Finally, stress and anxiety can alsointerfere with sleep. When we are stressed out, our bodies produce cortisol, which is a hormone that can make it difficult to fall asleep. Furthermore, anxious thoughts can keep us awake at night, preventing usfrom getting the rest we need.In order to improve sleep, there are several things people can do. For example, they can create a bedtime routine, avoid electronic devices before bed, and make sleep a priority in their lives. Additionally,people who have disorders that prevent them from getting enough sleep should talk to their doctor about treatment options.61. How many hours of sleep do most adults need each night?A. Six to eightB. Seven to nineC. Nine to tenD. Ten to eleven62. What is one way that electronic devices can interfere with sleep?A. By emitting a blue light that disrupts melatonin productionB. By making too much noise at nightC. By causing nightmaresD. By waking people up too early63. What is one consequence of chronic sleep deprivation?A. Increased productivityB. Increased heart functionC. Decreased risk of obesityD. Increased risk of heart disease64. What is one disorder that can prevent people from getting enough sleep?A. DiabetesB. Heart diseaseC. Sleep apneaD. Stress and anxiety65. What are some strategies people can use to improve their sleep?A. Avoid using electronics before bed and make sleep a priorityB. Take medication to help you fall asleepC. Drink caffeine before bed to help you stay awakeD. Exercise vigorously right before bed to tire yourself out61. B. Seven to nine62. A. By emitting a blue light that disrupts melatonin production63. D. Increased risk of heart disease64. C. Sleep apnea65. A. Avoid using electronics before bed and make sleep a priorityPart II Writing (45 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Your Favorite Leisure Activity.

Ilove getting outside and exploring new trails and taking in the views. There are few things that compare to the feeling of standing on top of a mountain, looking out over the landscape below.I enjoy hiking because it is both physically and mentally challenging. The terrain can be rough and steep, which makes it a great workout, but it also requires you to pay attention to where you are going and to be aware of your surroundings. It is a great way to clear your mind and let go of stress.I have derived many benefits from hiking. It has improved my physical fitness and help me maintain a healthy weight. It has also helped me connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of the world around me. Additionally, it has allowed me to meet new people and make new friends with similar interests.If you are interested in hiking, there are a few tips I would recommend. First, start slowly and choose trails that are appropriate for your fitness level. Second, make sure to bring plenty of water and wear appropriate footwear. Finally, make sure to pack a few snacks and enjoy the scenery along the way. Hiking can be a wonderful experience, and I would encourage anyone to give it a try.。

It is all unexpected difficulty in reading in people who have the intelligence and motivation thought to be necessary to be（32） readers.The brains of people with word blindness have difficulty taking images that they see or hear and turning it into（33）language，explained researcher Sally E. Shaywitz. This means that someone with word blindness not only has （34）reading but may also have difficulty speaking quickly. Typical readers can （35） recognize words after seeing them a few times; those with word blindness don’t.The new study（36）evidence for the first time showing that the （37）between IQ and reading over time is not the same for readers with word blindness as it is for typical readers.In people without word blindness，intelligence and reading do in fact connect and can （38） each other over time.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by writing the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .How Geniuses Work(A) In 1905, Albert Einstein developed the theory of special relativity. He also proved that atomsexist and figured out that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. To top it all off, he developed his famous equation E=mc2, which describes the relationship between matter and energy, the same year. He was only 26 years old.(B) Without a doubt, Einstein was a genius. So wa s Isaac Newton ― as any f an of "Star Trek:The Next Generation" can tell you, he invented physics. He also played a big role in the development of calculus, which some people have trouble comprehending even after extensive classroom study. Another genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, started composing music when he was 5 years old. Mozart wrote hundreds of pieces before his death in 1760 at age 35.(C) According to conventional wisdom, geniuses are different from everyone else. They canthink faster and better than other people. In addition, many people think that all that extra brainpower leads to eccentric or quirky behavior. And although geniuses are fairly easy to spot, defining exactly what makes one person a genius is a little trickier. Figuring out how that person became a genius is harder still.(D) There are two big things that make it difficult to study genius:1. The genius label is subjective（主观的）. Some people insist that anyone with anintelligence quotient (IQ)（智商）higher than a certain value is a genius. Others feel that IQ tests measure only a limited part of a person’s total intelligence. Some believe high test scores have little to do with real genius.2. Genius is a big-picture concept. Most scientific and medical inquiries, on the other hand,examine details. A concept as subjective as genius isn’t easy to quantify（量化）, analyze or study.(E) So, when exploring how geniuses work, it’s a good idea to start by defining precisely whata genius is. For the purpose of this article, a genius isn’t simpl y someone with anexceptionally high IQ. Instead, a genius is an extraordinarily（非常）intelligent person who breaks new ground with discoveries, inventions or works of art. Usually, a genius’s work changes the way people view the world or the field in which the work took place. In other words, a genius must be both intelligent and able to use that intelligence in a productive or impressive way.(F) But what makes a person able to do all that? Even though scientists are not sure exactlyhow or why it happens, it’s clear that the human brain plays a part in determining a person’s intelligence. But what’s the difference between genius and intelligence? And what makes one person more intelligent than another? We’ll look at how intelligence relates to genius next.Genius and Intelligence(G) Like genius, intelligence can be difficult to quantify. Psychologists and neuroscientists studyintelligence extensively. An entire field of study, known as psychometrics（心理测量学）, is devoted to studying and measuring intelligen ce. But even within that field, experts don’t always agree on exactly what it is or how best to analyze it. And while intelligence is central to genius, not all geniuses score well on intelligence tests or perform well in school.(H) Intelligence testing has existed for thousands of years. Chinese emperors used aptitudetesting to evaluate civil servants as early as 2200 BC. The tests we know as IQ tests got their start near the end of the 19th century. Today, IQ tests generally measure a person’s memory as well as language, spatial（空间的）and mathematical abilities. In theoretical terms, these tests measure a concept or factor known as g. You can think of g as a unit of measure or a way of expressing the amount of intelligence a person has.(I) IQ tests are also standardized so that most people score between 90 and 110. When placed ona graph（曲线图）, the IQ test scores of a large group of people will generally resemble a bellcurve, with most people scoring in the average range. A common perception is that anyone scoring above a certain number ― often 140 ― is automatically a genius. But in spite of the existence of high-IQ organizations, many scientists caution that there is no such thing as a genius-level IQ.(J) Many educators and researchers feel that, in general, standardized IQ tests do a good job of predicting how well a child will perform in school. Schools often use these tests to determinewhich children to place in gifted or special education classes. Most colleges and universities and some employers also use standardized tests as part of their application processes.(K) However, in spite of their widespread use, these tests are not foolproof（十分可靠的）. In general, some minorities and people with lower income level tend to score lower than people from other racial and economic groups. Critics contend（争辩）that this makes IQ tests invalid or unfair.(L) In addition, some researchers argue that the concept of g doesn’t really give a full view of a person’s intelligence. They feel that intelligence is a combinati on of many factor. One theory that tries to provide a more complete view of intelligence is Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence (MI). According to Gardner, there are seven types of intelligence:●Linguistic（语言的）●Logical-mathematic●Musical●Bodily-kinesthetic（动觉的）●Spatial●Interpersonal●Intrapersonal(M) Many parents and educators feel that these categories（类别）more accurately express the strengths of different children. But critics allege that Garddner’s definiti ons are so broad and inclusive that they make intelligence meaningless.Another theory is Robert J. Sternbert’s triarchic（三元的）theory of human intelligence.According to Sternbert, human intelligence includes:●Creative intelligence●Analytical intelligence●Practical intelligence(N) In Sternbert’s view, a person’s total intelligence is a combination of these three abilities, Critics claim that he has little empirical（经验的）evidence for his theories. They also argue that practical intelligence is not intelligence at all, or that it can be explained through other theories of intelligence.(O) The triarchic and MI theories are both relatively new, and critics have pointed out flaws in both of them. However, they may be better able to explain the concept of genius than traditional IQ test can. Geniuese aren’t just people with a lot of g. Mozart, for example, combined musical genius with an innate understanding of mathematics and patterns.Einstein’s genius spanned the r ealms（领域）of logic, math and spatial relationships. And all geniuses have a very important aptitude in common — they have an abundance of creative intelligence. Without it, they wouldn’t be geniuses. They’d simply be exceptionally smart._______ 41. The author defines genius as one who breaks new ground in science, technology or art._______ 42. In popular conception, geniuses are unlike all other people._______ 43. Many people think that Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences reveals with more accuracy the abilities of individual children._______ 44. Einstein made many great scientific achievements when still young._______ 45. Compared with traditional IQ tests, the triarchic and MI theories probably better explain the concept of genius._______ 46. Critics of IQ tests argue that they are not just or right._______ 47. Creativity forms a key feature shared by all geniuses._______ 48. The difficulty in studying genius lies in the fact that different people form different concepts of genius._______ 49. Some geniuses fail to achieve good scores on intelligence tests or do well in school. _______ 50. IQ tests are characterized by the fact that they are standardized.Section C (30’)Directions：There are 4 passages in this section．Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet．Passage OneShoppers on Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season in America are notoriously（声名狼藉）aggressive．Some even start queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first to lay their hands on heavily discounted goods．Last year destructive bargain-hunters in the suburbs of New York City trampled（踩踏）a Wal-Mart employee to death．Despite the madness at many stores，however, the global economic recession appears to have accelerated the pace at which shoppers are abandoning bricks and mortar（灰浆）in favour of online retailers—e-tailers.E-commerce holds particular appeal in poor times as it enables people to compare prices across retailers quickly and easily．Buyers can sometimes avoid local sales taxes online，and shipping is often free．No wonder, then，that online shopping continues to grow even as the offline sort shrinks．The shift in spending to the Internet is good news for companies like P&G that lack retail shops of their own．But it is a big concern for physical retailers，whose prices are often higher than those of e-retailers，since they must bear the extra expense of running stores.The most obvious response to the growth of e-tailing is for conventional retailers to redouble their own efforts online．The online arms of big retailers are performing well, on the whole.The concept of “multichannel” shopping，where people can buy the same items from the same retailer in several different ways, is gaining ground，and retailers are trying to encourage users of one channel to try another．Retailers are also trying to make shopping seem fun and exciting to act against the recession．One common method is to set up “pop-up” stores，which appear for a short time before vanishing again，to develop a sense of novelty and urgency．51．Why does the author say the recession has accelerated the pace of online shopping?A) Because shoppers are aggressive when shopping at brick-and-mortar stores.B) Because online shopping allows people to look for cheaper goods more easily.C) Because the sales of brick-and- mortar shops shrink during economic recession.D) Because the same item is definitely cheaper when it is sold online.52．The price of goods of physical stores is often higher than that of virtual stores because ________.A) the physical stores bear higher operating costB) physical stores bear more local sales taxes than virtual onesC) the quality of good in physical stores is betterD) the giant manufactures like P&G favor e-commerce53．How do the traditional retailers react to the growth of e-tailing?A) They turn to focus entirely on online business.B) They sell goods both online and offline.C) They resist such kind of trend.D) They give more discounts for the goods to attract buyers.54．What is the retailers’ purpose of setting up “pop-up” stores?A) To cut down the operation cost．B) To offer bargain goods．C) To make shopping funny and urgent．D) To increase the sales in their online shops．55. Best Buy sells music lessons along with its musical instruments in the hope of ________.A) establishing its unique pattern of sellingB) competing against the same service offered onlineC) persuading customers to abandon online-shoppingD) making online shoppers go to its shops frequentlyPassage TwoFor Roy Johnson, a senior magazine editor, the latest indignity came after a recent dinner at a fancy restaurant in the wealthy New York City suburb where he and his family live. First the parking valet handed him the keys to his Jaguar instead of fetching the car. Then an elderly white couple came out and handed him the keys to their black Mercedes-Benz. “It took them a while to realize that I was n ot a valet,” says Johnson. “It didn’t matter that I was dressed for dinner and had paid a handsome price for the meal, just as he had. What mattered was that I didn’t fit his idea of someone who could be equal to him.”Such incidents, which are depressingly familiar to African-Americans of all ages, incomes and social classes, help explain why black and white attitudes often differ so completely. A recent survey found that 68 percent of blacks believe racism is still a major problem in America. Only 38 percent of whites agreed.Many Americans find the gulf between blacks and whites bewildering. After all, official segregation (隔离) is a bad memory and 40 years of law, policies and court decisions have helped African-Americans make significant progress toward equal opportunity. Indeed, a black man born in Harlem could be the nation’s next president.But racism persists, unmistakable to every black but largely invisible to many whites. It is evident in the everyday encounters African-Americans have with racial prejudice and discrimination, like the valet parking incident. Such encounters often strike whites as trivial misunderstandings. But they remind blacks that they are often dismissed as less intelligent, less industrious, less honest and less likely to succeed. Some insults are clearly racist; others may be evidence of insensitivity or bad manners rather than racial prejudice. But the accumulation of insults feeds anger.“What is amazing to me is the number of whites who express surprise that any of this ha ppens,” observes Mary Frances Berry, chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, who says she has been watched at shopping malls.56. The word “valet” in the first paragraph most probably means__________ .A) a restaurant ownerB) a driver of expensive carsC) a wealthy-looking gentlemanD) a restaurant employee taking care of dinners’ car57. Roy Johnson was unfairly treated because________ .A) his car was inferior in qualityB) he didn’t wear proper clothesC) he failed to express himself clearlyD) he is black58. From the passage we can learn that_________ .A) both blacks and whites are bewildered by racismB) examples of racism are becoming rare in the USC) official segregation is forgotten because of bad memoriesD) a black man born in Harlem will be the next US president59. It is implied in the passage that many white people deny the presence of racism in the USbecause__________.A) they tend to regard instances of racism as trivial misunderstandingsB) they have never seen any instance of racism in their daily encountersC) they believe African-Americans have made significant progressD) they have treated black people as their equals on all occasions60. Judging from the context, the most possible explanation for Mary Frances Berry’s b eingwatched at shopping malls is that .A) she was a celebrityB) she didn’t fit people’s idea of an Afro-American womanC) many people nowadays are insensitive and rudeD) she is blackPassage ThreeThe Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is pitting rice farmers against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.Located on the Mediterranean just two hours south of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent’s most important rice-growing areas. As the sea creeps into these fresh-water marshes, however, rising salinity（盐分）is hampering rice production. At the same time，this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to harness one foe against the other.The battle is currently being waged on land，in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner “Project Neurice”are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and Italian dishes.“The project has two sides,” says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona. “the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid- to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project gre ater urgency.”Originally from South America，the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies, a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums（水族馆）, but failed to prevent their escape. For now, the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. “The question is not if it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when.”Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of salt-tolerant rice they’ve bred. In 2018, farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe’s other two main rice-growing regions—along the Po in Italy, and France’s Rhone. A season in the field will help determine which, if any, of the varieties are ready for commercialization.As an EU-funded effort，the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt-resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that incorporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome（基因组）.61.
