The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 37. Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A38wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves39nothing.

Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10-to-15-year-old boys and girls found that girls’ friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道)class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头)a boy for years.As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life—and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone they can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.51. The common belief of adults is that boys.A. don’t care about others as much as girlsB. don’t value friendships as much as girlsC. have the same friendship as girlsD. have healthier friendships than girls52. According to the passage, .A. boys usually build friendships by playing competitive gamesB. boys like to have small groups of friendsC. boys’ friendships seldom result in anyone being hurtD. boys’ friendships can hardly end in failure53. The author mentions the study in Para. 2 to prove.A. girls value relationships more than boysB. most boys consider their friends very importantC. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girlsD. boys may be more active in a friendship54. As a boy gets older, he tends to.A. widen his circle of friends to include his parentsB. shift his focus from his friends to himselfC. leave his parents out of his friendsD. be confused about what a friendship isBLONDON(Reuters)—New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a French-Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities(怪异), researchers said.The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long-lasting without major problems. Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants, neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society, they reported.Only three people have received face transplants. The world’s first was carried out on a French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog. In 2007, her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily, overcoming two periods of rejection.In 2006, Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30-year-old hit by a bear. While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation, two years later the man was doing well, his doctors said. “This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face, and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society, ” Guo Shuzhong and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote.A French team described their work on a 29-year-old man who suffered from V on Recklinghausen disease, an illness that changes the shape of his face. “The man, who was not named, was given a new nose, mouth and chin in a 2007 operation. He began to work 13 monthsafter the transplant has more functions in his face and has not rejec ted the new tissue, ”his doctors said.“Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement, ”Dr. Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the Henri-Mondor Hospital outside Paris wrote.55. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Face transplants can work.B. Face transplants help regain confidence.C. Three people have received face transplants.D. Disfigured people need face transplants.56. What happened to the Chinese patient mentioned in the passage?A. He got a strange illness when he was young.B. He received several operations in hospital.C. He was the first person to receive a face transplant.D. He was once attacked by an animal.57. From the passage we can learn that.A. doctors have different opinions on facial disfigurementB. patients could regain self-confidence after face transplantsC. the new face of every patient has more functions than expectedD. it is easy for disabled people to be accepted by society58. The un derlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 means“”.A. removingB. recoveringC. repairingD. rejectingCFacebook is now used by 30 million people in the UK, around half the population. Joanna Shields, vice president of Facebook Europe, made the announcement this morning at a media conference in London.Globally, Facebook has more than 500 million registered(注册的)users, a milestone it hit last summer. Last July, it had 26 million registered UK users. In the last eight months, it has attracted 4 million extra UK users, bringing the UK total to 30 million.Facebook, the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg while he was still studying at Harvard University, was launched in February 2004. The pace of its global growth has sped rapidly—Facebook had only 150 million registered users in January 2009.One third of women aged 18 to 34 check Facebook when they first wake up, before even going to the toilet, according to the research. 21% check Facebook in the middle of the night, while 42% of the same group think it is fine to post drunken photos of themselves onto the social network, a study by Oxygen Media and Lightspeed Research found.Shields was speaking this morning at the Financial Times Digital Media and Broadcasting Conference about the power Fac ebook’s referrals(好友推荐)can bring to media sites, such as newspapers and TV services. She explained that the average Facebook user has 130 friends who they share links to media sites with regularly. “Media companies which take advantage of that are really s eeing the benefits, ”Shields said. Shields refused to be drawn on whether Facebook would develop its own mobile phone operating system and also said it was “silly” that Google had recently disabled the feature which allowed Google users to refresh their contacts with Facebook friends.59. Eight months ago the number of registered users of Facebook in the UK was about.A. less than half of its populationB. 30 millionC. 4 millionD. 500 million60. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that.A. there are only women users of FacebookB. more women than men like to check FacebookC. all the registered users should post their drunken photos onto their FacebookD. Facebook is very popular among the users61. What does the underlined word “disabled” mean in the last paragraph?A. Invented.B. Strengthened.C. Added.D. Stopped.62. What is the best title of the text?A. Facebook’s referrals bring benefitsB. Facebook: the brainchild of Mark ZuckerbergC. Facebook: used by half the UK populationD. Facebook: women’s preferenceDClenching(攥)your fist could be enough to help you improve your memory. Research suggests that balling up the right hand and squeezing(紧握)it tightly actually makes it easier to memorize lists. Later, when it is time to retrieve the information, it is the left hand that should be clenched. It is thought the movements activate(激活)brain regions’ key to the storing and recall of memories. The American researchers suggest those who are short of a pen and paper should try the trick when attempting to memorize a shopping list or phone number.In the study, volunteers were given a rubber ball and asked to squeeze it as hard as possible before trying to memorize a list of 72 words. They squeezed the ball again a couple of minutes later, ahead of recollecting as many of the words as possible.One group used their right hand on both occasions, another their left. A third group clenched their right fist ahead of memorizing and their left ahead of recalling and a fourth did the reverse(相反). A fifth group held the ball but did not squeeze it. Those who squeezed with their right hand, followed by their left, remembered the most words. The next best were the volunteers who made a f ist with their right hand both times, while those who didn’t squeeze at all did better than those who led with their left.It is thought that the movement of clenching the right fist activates a brain region that is involved in storing memories, while squeezing the left hand activates an area that is key to retrieving information. Lead researcher Dr Ruth Propper said, “The findings suggest that simple body movements—by temporarily(临时)changing the way the brain functions—can improve memory. ”63. The passage is mainly about.A. the way to help improve the memoryB. how to memorize the wordsC. how to memorize a shopping listD. how to memorize a group of words with a ball in hand64. In the study, which group did the best job?A. The third group.B. The first group.C. The fourth group.D. The second group.65. According to the study, .A. you can do a good job by holding a ball without squeezing itB. you can memorize things by holding a ball in the right handC. the movements of left hands can help to memorize things betterD. the movements of right hands can help to memorize things and recall them better66. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1?A. recallB. rememberC. forgetD. reviewEJohnny Jones was a nice and popular boy, who everyone loved. He was so much fun, so good and so kind to everyone that they treated him wonderfully. But as everything he needed was given to him without asking, Johnny became a weed. He was so spoiled by everyone that he couldn’t stand any hardship.One day Johnny heard a mother saying to her son “Come on, my boy, get up and stop crying. You are behaving like Johnny Jones. ”That made Johnny feel very ashamed. But he was sure that he would prefer to be known as a good boy rather than a fool. Worried, he spoke to his father about all this, though he was afraid that maybe he would be laughed at for having such worries. His father, far from laughing at Johnny, told him that a teacher had taught him a secret trick to turn him into the toughest boy of all. “Eat a candy less, study a minute more, and count to five before crying. ”Johnny asked, “Just that? ”“Yes, just that, ”said his father, “It’s very simple, but I warn you that it won’t be easy. ”Johnny was happy like a bird, ready to follow the advice. He went to see his mother, and she noticed how happy he was when she offered him candies. “One candy less”, thought Johnny, so he only took one. That afternoon he had another chance to put it into practice by studying one minute more. The result was that he missed the first minute of his favorite program! But having achieved this gave him a great feeling of satisfaction. The same thing happened when he ran up against the corner of the kitchen table. He only managed to count to four before crying, but that was left deeply in his mother’s memory.Over the following days Johnny kept using the motto in his life as his father told him. Andthe more he put this into practice, the easier it got. Before long he realized that he could also do things that would seem impossible before.67. The underlined word “weed” in the first paragraph refers to.A. a person with a strong willB. a person with a weak characterC. a person who isn’t popular with everyoneD. a person who changes his behavior according to the situation68. What made Johnny Jones decide to change himself?A. A mother’s words.B. Others’ attitude to him.C. His father’s advice.D. His teacher’s warning.69. What is the key point of the a dvice from Johnny’s father?A. Eat fewer candies than before.B. Count to five before crying.C. Talk with parents and follow their advice.D. Learn to control oneself and keep using the motto in life.70. What message does the writer want to convey through the story?A. One should be brave to face his mistakes.B. Nothing is difficult as long as you set your mind on it.C. Spoiling a child too much may result in his selfish behaviors.D. A strong will can be developed by small but consistent efforts.第四部分书面表达(共两节, 满分50分)第一节完成句子(共10小题; 每小题2分, 满分20分)阅读下列各小题, 根据汉语提示, 用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

One of them said, “The visibility is so poor that we can’t take good photos, or even see clearly. We’d better leave early.”In response to worsening air conditions, travel agencies have also taken some measures to avoid a further decline in tourist numbers. An employee with China Youth Travel Service, Wang Tao, said the agency will inform tourists of the weather conditions at their destinations. A tour guide with China Travel Service also told the media that it was a tour guide’s duty to inform foreign visitors of the smog conditions in Beijing, and the agency will provide free face masks to those in need. But efforts to do so merely treat the symptom rather than the disease itself, because the root cause is air pollution. China will introduce various emergency responses and long-term measures against air pollution. Officials and experts called for combined efforts by governments, industries and the public to cooperate more efficiently and to jointly solve the problem.56. In the following statements, which one is NOT TRUE?A. The tourism in Beijing was influenced by the hazy weather.B. The concentration of PM 2.5 has risen, but it will decrease soon.C.

According to the passage, if the weather is fine, how many visitors will the Palace Museum receive in a week?A. About 11,200.B. About 78,400.C. About 40,000.D. About 280,000.58. The most effective way to resolve the problem of air pollution is to _______.A. take some measuresB. inform tourists of the weather conditions at their destinationsC. provide free face masks to those in needD. unite the power of governments, industries and the public59. What does the author most probably mean by “efforts to do so merely t reat the symptom rather than thedisease itself” in the last paragraph?A. Treating the symptom is more important than the disease.B. These efforts are not enough to solve the problem thoroughly.C. These efforts could treat the symptom and the disease.D. These efforts couldn’t treat the disease, so they are unnecessary.60. The main purpose of this news report is to _______.A. introduce the tourism situation of BeijingB. explain the main cause of air pollutionC.introduce the influence of smog on tourism of Beijing and some measures to solve the problemD. introduce the measures carried out to improve the air qualityBA shark has a very good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of things in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. Sharks also sense electrical and magnetic(磁性的) power linked to nerves(神经) and muscles of living animals. These powerful senses help them find their food. Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean. Some sharks will eat just about anything. Many unusual things have been found in the stomachs of some tiger sharks. They include shoes, dogs, a cow’s foot and metal protective clothing.Sharks grow slowly. Many kinds of sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty-five years old. Some reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten younger sharks.About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. The others give birth to live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies, with a cord(脐带) connecting the fetus to the mother, as humans do.Scientists are beginning to understand the importance of sharks to humans. Medical researchers want to learn more about the shark's defense system against disease. They know that sharks recover quickly from injuries. Sharks appear never to suffer cancer or heart diseases. Many people believe that the shark’s soft bones can help prevent cancer. Scientists have questioned this idea. Yet they still study the shark in the hope of finding a way to fight human disease.Most sharks live in warm waters, but some can be found in very cold areas. Most sharks live in the oceans. However, the bull shark leaves ocean waters to enter freshwater rivers and lakes. They have been found in the Zambezi River in Africa, the Mississippi River in the United States and Lake Nicaragua in southwestern Nicaragua.Sharks are important for the health of the world’s oceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in the ocean do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.61. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. A shark is the cruelest animal in the world.B. Sharks eat anything they meet in the ocean.C. A shark has a very excellent receiving system.D. Sharks live in the ocean.62. Which statement is TRUE according to Paragraph 2-3?A. Most sharks give birth to ten young sharks only.B. Some give birth to babies only every third year.C. Many kinds of sharks are able to give birth to babies before twenty.D. About sixty percent of the sharks give birth to live young.63. What does the underlined word “fetus” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Unborn sharks.B. Sharks’ eggs.C. Sharks’ bodies.D. Humans.64. Which of the following do all the scientists agree with?A. The shark’s soft bones can help prevent cancer.B. Sharks are important to humans.C. Sharks never suffer from any disease.D. Ways will be found to fight human disease in the near future.65. We know the following facts from the passage EXCEPT ______.A. sharks’ dietsB. sharks’ abilities against diseasesC. sharks’ lifetimeD. sharks’ reproductionCWhen you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Cop enhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beauty products. This is Europe’s first hotel floor dedicated（专用的）entirely to women—and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Ban g Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.“Women’s hotel preferences（偏爱）are very different from men’s with key priorities（优先考虑的事）being to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.It seems that they are helped by the boom（繁荣）in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in 2010, up from approximately 25% in 1991.Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering（迎合）for women.At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings（预订）for their “Duchess Rooms”，which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.66. We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _______.A. is the first hotel designed for womenB. offers special service to women guestsC. has a big garden with all kinds of flowersD.can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes67. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us _______.A. men are wiser in choosing hotelsB. guests usually care about fort mostC. women differ from men in judging a hotelD.hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest68. What can we learn from the text?A. Men guests usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.D. In the US the number of women travelers is higher than men.69. The example of the London Dukes Hotel is used to show ________.A. London is known for hotel managementB. guests like to experience different hotelsC. the new hotel service is very popularD. hotel industry is developing rapidly70. What is the text mainly about?A. How to run hotels.B. A new practice in hotel service.C. Different hotels’ service in the world.D.Differences between men and women hotel guests.Part ⅣWriting（35 marks）Section A （10 marks）Complete the following sentences:71. Polly found herself staring up at the face of an old man (长着络腮胡子)72.It gives me the chance to (回报帮助) that people give me when it’s sunny.73.In the main type, the shark attacks you because it （把你错当成了鱼），but when it tastes human flesh it decides to give up and swims away.74.In the second type, the shark pushes you with its nose to find out if you （适合被食用）75.Scientists are interested in whether the sense of smell (与庝痛有关).76.One explanation is that women’s sense of smell is better developed than (男性)77. （把信息绑到它的腿上），he sets the bird loose.78.

knows，there is far more to a family meal than food.Sociologist(社会心理学家)Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis and his co－workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes.They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children.But as the number of children gets larger，conversation g ives way to the parents’ efforts to control(控制)the loud noise they make.That can have an important effect on the children.“In general the more question－asking the parents do，the higher the children’s IQ scores.”Lewis says，“And the more children there are，the less question－asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹)．Lewis found that in families with three or four children，dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child，who has the most to talk about，and the youngest，who needs the most attention.“Middle children are invisible(看不见的)，”says Lewis.“When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner，chances are it’s the middle child.” There is，however，one thing that stops all conversations and prevents anyone from having attention：“When the TV is on，” Lewis says，“ dinner is a non－event.”1．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ________.A．show the relationship between parents and childrenB．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC．report on the findings of a studyD．give information about family problems2．Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ________.A．they are busy serving food to their childrenB．they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC．they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family3．By saying “Middle children are invisible” in Paragraph 3，Lewis means that middle children ________.A．have to help their parents to serve dinnerB．get the least attention from the familyC．are often kept away from the dinner tableD．find it hard to keep up with other children4．Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ________.A．why TV is important in family lifeB．why parents should keep good orderC．why children in small families seem to be quieterD．why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life5．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A．It is important to have the right food for children.B．It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C．Parents should talk to each of their children often.D．Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.Ⅴ.阅读表达People visit other countries for many reasons.Some travel on business；others travel to visit interesting places that are only found in other countries，such as the Taj Mahal in India，or the temples of Thailand.Wherever you go，and for whatever reason，it is important to be safe.A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people.Do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful as in your home country.It is important to prepare for your trip in advance，and to take precautions(预防措施)while you are traveling.As you prepare for your trip，make sure you have the right paperwork.You don’t want to get to your goal only to find you have the wrong visa，or worse，that your passport is about to expire(期满)．Also，make sure you travel with proper medical insurance，so that if ________ during your travels，you will be able to get treatment.Buy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going to.When you get to your goal，use official transport.Always go to bus and taxi stations; don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift.If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while traveling，make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside.If you are traveling with valuables such as jewelry，or a lot of cash，you should ask about a safe for storing them in.Finally，remember to smile.Smiling_is_the_friendliest_and_most_sincere_form_of_communication，and_is_sure_to_be_understood_in_any_part_of_the_world!1．Try to give the passage a proper title.(no more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 2．Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(no more than 5

Bose has a large circle of friends, and there‟s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.If that isn‟t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine‟s Young Amazing Women of the Year.After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.Bose‟s achievements aren‟t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she‟ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.28.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we maysuppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain‟s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that man‟s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.32. The passage mainly tells us that __________.A. Ma n‟s life will be different in the futureB. Future man will look quite different from usC. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. Man‟s organs‟ functions will change33. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man‟s hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man‟s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.34. The change in man‟s size of the forehead is probably because __________.A. he makes use of only 20% of the brain‟s capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. he will use his brain more and more as time goes onD. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time35. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn‟t have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in a different way.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。
