Mailing your entry on October 30.BI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as Ican remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.As a novelist, I've found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.4. Which word best describes the author's relationship with books as a child?A. cooperative.B. uneasy.C. inseparable.D. casual.5. What does the underlined phrase "an added meaning" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Pleasure from working in the library.B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.D.A closer bond developed with the readers.6. What does the author call on other writers to do?A. sponsor book fairs.B. write for social media.C. support libraries.D. purchase her novels.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Reading: A Source of KnowledgeB. My Idea about WritingC. Library: A Haven for the YoungD. My Love of the LibraryCThe Little Baby Face Foundation(LBFF)is an NYC-based nonprofit organization with a great deal of controversy. Founded in 2002, it provides free plastic surgery for children born with facial deformities(畸形). Many teenagers who have been teased for their looks are now applying to have their problem areas “fixed” by LBFF.Nadia, one 14-year-old teenager, had her face greatly changed in June when she went under the knife. Her classmates had been constantly making fun of her appearance. “They said I have the biggest ears that they’ve ever seen. They called me elephant ears,” Nadia said. Those comments hurt her a lo t. She even considered how to end her own life.But Nadia tried to keep the bullying a secret from her mother, Lynda. Her mother was already dealing with mounting medical bills for her 9-year-old son, Josh, who had a serious brain disease. When her mother did finally find out about the bullying, she was heartbroken.Nadia decided to end her bullying problems with plastic surgery. Then her mother turned to the LBFF, which accepted Nadia’ s application. The surgeries were very painful and it took months for her face to heal, but she did manage to return to school with a new face, a face she was finally proud of.Nadia’s surgery may have helped her overcome her emotional pain, but should teenagers go to those extremes just because they are being bullied?Experts warn if the deformities are not really a problem to the child, plastic surgery is not the answer! In fact, when a teen decides to get plastic surgery because he or she is being bullied, it can send the wrong message. By surgically changing the victim of a bully, it is as if you support the bullying and agree the victim is in fact worthy of all those names he or she has been called. It is like saying to teenagers: “Yes, there is something wrong with you, and you should get it fixed!”8. What did Nadia think of her school life in the past?A. Busy.B. Exciting.C. Miserable.D. Ordinary.9. Why did Nadia keep the secret from her mother?A. Her mother had heart disease.B. She didn’t want to burden her.C. Her mother was afraid of being bullied.D. She did n’t know how to share it withher.10. Why does the author say plastic surgery can send the wrong message?A. It may let bullies feel they are right.B. Itmay become popular among teens.C. It may damage the name of the LBFF.D. It may change victims into bullies.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Why many teenagers are being teased?B. Is plastic surgery the answer to bullying?C. Why surgery helps overcome emotional pain?D. Should we pay more attention to appearance?DThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) have taken it a step further-changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day," explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow(发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.12. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A. They must run long distances.B. They are qualified for the marathon.C. They have to follow special rules.D. They are good at swinging their legs.13. What advantage does race walking have over running?A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.B. It’s less challenging physically.C. It’s more effective in body building.D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.14. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A. Getting experts’ opinions.B. Having a medical checkup.C. Hiring an experienced coach.D. Doing regular exercises.15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A. Skeptical.B. Objective.C. Tolerant.D. Conservative.二、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

B. C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AAn abandoned car in Chicago worth about $600 has been issued more than $100,000 in parking tickets over the past three years. Now Jennifer Fitzgerald, 31, is stuck with the bill but says the 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo actually belongs to an ex-boyfriend who registered the car in her name without informing her.The Expired Meter reports that from May 23, 2009 to April 30, 2012, the Chicago Department of Finance (DOF) issued 678 tickets against the car, totaling $105,761.80. It set a Chicago record both for the total number and amount of parking fines issued. In fact, it blew past the previous record holder, which was $65,000 from about 400 tickets.But Fitzgerald says she doesn’t owe the city a dime and has filed a laws uit (诉讼) in Cook County circuit Court against the city of Chicago, United Airlines and the ex-boyfriend. Fitzgerald has two main arguments in her case. First, she says her ex-boyfriend, Brandon Preveau, is the actual owner of the car, having purchased it from her uncle for $600 in 2008. In fact, Preveau paid for the car’s title, registration and insurance, but it was registered in Fitzgerald’s name. “ Brandon used his 2007 income tax refund to pay Patrick $600 for the automobile,” reads Fitzgerald’s complaint. “ For reasons not recalled by Patrick, however, Patrick signed the title to the car over to Jennifer.”Second, Fitzgerald’s lawyer is arguing that the city should have simply towed the vehicle after 30 days from O’Hare Airport, where it was parked an d where Preveau worked at the time. According to Fitzgerald’s complaint, on or before November 17,2009, Brandon drove the car into the parking lot and never drove it out again. And as the Expired Meter reports, Chicago law does specify that an abandoned vehicle is to be towed 30 days after being illegally parked.36. After the Chicago Department of Finance noticed the car, it ______.A. wanted to break a recordB. tried its best to find its ownerC. kept issuing tickets against the carD. decided to play a joke on its owner37. From Paragraph 3, we know that Jennifer Fitzgerald ______.A. sold the car to her ex-boyfriend long agoB. received the car from her ex-boyfriendC. didn’t know anything about the carD. wasn’t the real owner of the car38. Jennifer Fitzgerald filed a lawsuit against the city of Chicago because the city ______.A. didn’t inform her immediately it found the missing carB. didn’t’ tow the vehicle after 30 days from O’Hare AirportC. didn’t specify that an abandoned vehicle was to be towe dD. didn’t help her find the car when it was missing in the beginning39. After reading the passage we learn that Jennifer Fitzgerald ______.A. doesn’t’ want to pay any moneyB. thinks Patrick should pay the finesC. isn’t trying to find her ex-boyfr iendD. has never been to O’Hare AirportBCompanionship can affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear（折磨）than those who have a support system of friends.Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms（症状）of depression and loneliness.Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a “fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have large r, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wivesor other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically（心理上）, friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.40．In the author’s opinion, a real companion should _________.A．tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it.B．try to persuade you to change your mind quickly.C．judge your decision according to his/her experience.D．give you advice but respect your own decision.41．Women benefit more from friendship than men because _________.A．women are always cared for by more people than men.B．women are usually less stress-out when staying with others.C．women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ helpD．women can always keep more long-life friendship than men 42．According to the passage we can infer that _______.A．it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or notB．friends are always more important than family membersC．men don’t want to share their problems with many peopleD．the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed43．This passage mainly talks about _________.A.why people should develop friendshipB.when friendship affects people’s healthC.people’s different attitudes towards friendshipD.the friendship which can make people live longerCFor those who study the development of intelligence（智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras,including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, “We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”44. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?A. Whether they have large brains.B. Whether they have self-awareness.C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.45. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?A. They are most familiar to readers.B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.C. They are included in the study by Reiss.D. They are already known to be intelligent.46. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.C. She painted a mark on her own face.D. She found the hidden camera.DIn 1968, Easter preparations started on Saturday and Mom colored eggs. Mom boiled a few dozen eggs and while they cooled, Dennis, Diane and I gathered supplies. We dropped some color powder in each of six bowls, added boiling water and vinegar, and then mixed them together. Before using a spoon to carefully dip an egg into one of the pretty colors, I’d grab a crayon and neatly print “Darlene” on one egg. Dennis and Diane followed suit. That way, when we hunted on Easter morning we’d be sure to get the right basket.Being 8-years-old, I was an Easter veteran (老手), but I was quick to remind younger sister Diane of the rules: First, if you find someone else’s basket quietly put it back and continue the hunt. Second, if your basket isn’t found by fifteen minutes before church you have to continue looking after church.That year I was the un-lucky looker who didn’t find her basket before church so I spent the whole hour at St Mary’s plotting my hunt.The next Easter was a different story since I was lucky enough to find my basket first. I was jumping up and down and glancing at the big chocolate rabbit in my basket when Mom and Dad told us to get dressed. I proudly left my basket in the sun porch before heading out the door.After church my siblings ran ahead but I was content to walk between Mom and Dad since I’d already found my basket and huge chocolate rabbit. As I skipped up the porch steps I figured Dennis found his too since he was 1aughing his head off.“Hungry for chocolate soup?” Dennis laughed. “Chocolate soup?” I was surprised. One look at Dennis’ pointed finger made me realize my beautifu1 chocolate rabbit was now chocolate puddle (胶土). It was really one of my great childhood Easter memories.47.Different names were written on the colored eggs so that _______.A. the eggs looked more beautifulB. kids could recognize their ownC. kids could hide other kids' eggs secretlyD. kids could exchange their eggs48.It can be inferred from the text that among the siblings, the writer _______.A. was the luckiest oneB. was the rule-makerC. was the cleverest oneD. knew the activity best49.Why did the writer put her basket in the sun porch?A. To show off her chocolate.B. To make a chocolate puddle.C. To heat her chocolate.D. To encourage her siblings.50.When Dennis said “Hungry for chocolate soup?”, he w as to _______.A. ask the writer to eat togetherB. give his eggs to the writerC. just greet the writerD. laugh at the writer四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He claims the “glassceiling” phenomenon is probably due to inferior (差的) intelligence，ratherthan lack of opportunity.The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after scrutinizing the results of university ability tests taken by 1 00,000 studentsaged 17 and 18 of both sexes.A focus on the factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept，verbal reasoning skills and creativity― some of the key factors of intelligence ―showed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63points higher. The average person has an IQ around 100.The findings，which held true (适合) for all classes and levels of education,overturn (推翻) 100-year opinion that men and women average the same in generalmental ability. They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in schoolexams than boys.But Professor Ruston argues that the faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining (胜过) boys in the classroom.36. The report is mainly about ______.A. a study that shows men are cleverer than womenB. the “glass ceiling” phenomenonC. Professor Ruston’s theory on IQD. the difference between male and female37. The underlined word “scrutinizing” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. making upB. carrying outC. looking atD. examining carefully38. We can infer that the average woman has an IQ of ______.A. a little less than 100B. 100C. more than 100D. 96.3739. Which of the following opinions does Professor Ruston NOT accept?A. Men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.B. Few women make it to the top in the workplace.C. Men and women average the same in general mental ability.D. The faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining boys in the classroom.BSome people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim( 苗条) withoutany effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it.The question is : what can they do about it? Some believe exercise can behelpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You mightsweat out (减去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, butyou put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food - choosing. But what sort of food should you choose?Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like. It' s straight —forward and often quite effective. Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.40. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that____________A. it makes you sweatB. it' s hard workC. it tires you outD. it makes you eat more41. The practical method suggested in this passage means___________.A. sticking to bananasB. not eating many carbohydratesC. eating things that are hard to digestD. eating as little as possible42. A calorie is a unit(单位) of_____________.A. weightB. powerC. electricityD. heat43. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Various Ways of Losing WeightB. Don't Eat Too MudC. Ways to Keep FitD. Food and HealthCIn every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart towear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive carsat seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher.Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, have the courage to bow out mannerly. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.44. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the Lead.B. Top Crowd.C. Being Yourself.D. Bright Red.45. The author doesn’t think it good wearing red sweaters if ________.A. the crowd does itB. you can’t afford themC. you don’t look good in redD. the situation isn’t safe46. According to the passage, people who follow the crowd ________.A. sometimes do things against their better judgmentB. make mistakes blindlyC. are willing to put their lives in dangerD. will in the end become pace-settersDThe Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.The fire started on Sunday mor ning in the house of the King’s baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning.By eight o’ clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “People threw theirthings into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was the new St Paul’s Cathedral.The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.47．The fire began in .A．a hotel B．the palace C．Pudding Lane D．Thames Street48．The underlined word‘family’in the second paragraph means .A．home B．children C．wife and husband D．wife and children 49．It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that .A．some people lost their livesB．the birds in the sky were killed by the fireC．many famous buildings were destroyedD．the King’s bakery was burned down50．Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?A．Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B．Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C．To show that poor people suffered most.D．To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AIn today’s world of cell phones, mini laptops and MP5 players, most peoplehave at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these devices are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extrapiece of equipment with no necessary function”. Many yo ung adults agree anduse their cell phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wearwatches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that thewatch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money ona quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakersboasted about their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watchindustry has transformed itself into an accessory（饰品）business. And for manytoday, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the timeit tells.“Complications” --- features that go beyond simple timekeeping--- are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of fe aturesthat meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golfswings（挥棒方式）!Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchm aker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches.The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell thetime. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet (手镯) than a watch.Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative flair or a love ofsports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. Nowadays, everyone hasthe same kind of gadget(小玩意儿) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in w rist fashionlast? Only time will tell!36.The underlined word “redeem” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by“__________”.A. enlargeB. regainC. proveD. lose37. According to the passage, a multi-function watch can _________.A. store the list of phone numbersB. remind you of your dailyaffairsC. be used as a calculatorD. show the direction38. In Paragraph 4, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned to _________.A. prove today’s watche s are fashionableB. compare a watch with a cool braceletC. show how popular Shinshoku watches are.D. stress it’s Tokyoflash that makes Shinshoku watches39. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Japanese watches stand outB. Watches tell more than timeC. Watch industry is in a bad situationD. Watches are becoming lesspopularBMickey Mouse wants to help kids kick the junk food habit. The Walt Disney Company announced that it plans to advertise only healthier foods to kid.By 2015, all food and drink products that are advertised on its TV channels, radio stations and websites will have to meet the company’s nutrition standard for limiting calories and reducing fat, sodium and sugar. Many foods, such as fruit drinks, candy and snack cakes, won’t meet the standard.First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer”. “Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the US – and what I hope every company will do in the futu re.”“This is a landmark（里程碑）, because a major media company is taking responsibility for what food they advertise to children,” says Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “This should be a real wake-up call to Nickelodeon(an American children’s channel) and the Cartoon Network to do the same.”But the company will still be able to advertise “better-for-you versions （种类）of products that are not perfectly nutritious.” Under the new standards, breakfast cereals that are advertised will have to contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar in a serving, Wootan says. “That’s a good step forward, but it’s not perfectly nutritious.”Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, says Disney is making this mov e “at perhaps some risk of affecting their incomes, so that’s why we should praise them.”Food marketing is really “important because it shapes the way kids are fed,” Wootan says. “If we don’t deal with food marketing to kids, we don’t have any chance of a ddressing childhood obesity.”Currently, a third of children are overweight, putting them at a greater risk for serious health problems.At its theme parks, Disney began offering healthier kids’ meals, serving carrots and other vegetables, fruits, low-fat milk and yogurt at meals, instead of fries and soft drinks.40. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to __________.A. the wake-up callB. the Walt Disney CompanyC. the habit of eating junk foodD. the nutrition standard in the US41. What does Margo Wootan think of Disney’s new move?A. He thinks it is a risk.B. He thinks very highly of it.C. He thinks it will get wide support.D. He thinks it will affect theirincome.42. According to Disney’s new standards, ________.A. soft drinks are not allowed to be advertisedB. foods that are advertised should be fat-freeC. only perfectly nutritious products can be advertisedD. foods advertised should contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar43. What is the main idea of the text?A. Disney calls for a ban on junk food.B. Disney aims to help kids lose weight.C. Disney is to serve healthier food for kids.D. Disney is to quit taking ads for junk food aimed at kids.CI just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed，when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise，Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. “What are you doing?” I starte d to ask. The words choked up in my throat，and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know.He then answered me with a simple statement“TEACH THE CHILDREN！”I was puzzled; what did he mean?Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR(杉木) TREE .“Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round，describing the everlasting hope of mankind，all the needles point heavenward，makin g it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven.”He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. “Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a savior(救世主) for the world，and the star was the sign of fulfillment of his promise.”He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. “Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world，and when we see this great light we are reminded of he who displaces(取代) the darkness.”Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound，and from his bag he pulled out a BELL. “Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell，it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.”Santa looked back and was pleased. I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said，“Remember，teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center，for I am but an humble servant of the one that is, and I bow down to wor ship HIM, our LORD, our GOD.”44.

Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life．" Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide．"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused．I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty．Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when 1 wonder．On those days．I remind myself of the real reasons why I teach: It's in my blood．My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990．She instilled （逐渐灌输） in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors．Teaching is a way to make a difference．If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore．You can't have ripples without a "stone．" Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive （努力） to do．I genuinely love teenagers．I want to share with others what 1 know and what I have learned through the years．Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes （路面坑洼） on the road of life, I want to do so．If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too．Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice．47．What is the answer that the author gives to her student to the question why she teaches?A．She loves teenagers．B．Her mother influenced her a lot．C．She thinks something she said might make a difference to her students．D．She wants to share her knowledge with others．48．Why did the author's student shake her head and walk away when he got the reply?A．He thought the author's answer is smart and witty．B．He felt angry at the author's answer．C．He didn't want to talk about the question with the author any more．D．The author's reply made him feel confused．49．It can be inferred from the text that _____．A．it was her mother who asked her to be a teacherB．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her studentsC．students of the writer all have great achievementsD．the writer took up teaching with the aim of changing others' life 50．The writer mentioned "stone" in paragraph 5 in order to _____．A．tell everyone to throw stones in the riverB．express that teachers should have some positive influence on their studentsC．convey that every teacher can make a good difference to their studentsD．prove that stones can make some ripples in the river四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life ---no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. The diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 3037. It seems that visitors _________ in Bangkok.A. often feel hungryB. can always find cheap thingsC. can’t take any photosD. can enjoy themselves38. The best title of this article is_________.A. My First TravelB. The Outside WorldC. Traveling in ThailandD. A Country on the Train39.The people in the village _______.A. are friendly to othersB. like to speak EnglishC. are very weakD. hope to live in the citiesBWhat do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.40. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.41. According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavor each day42. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.43. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool JobCWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.44. If your American or English friend wants to invite you to dinner, he will invite you _________A. on the night before the dinnerB. on the day before the dinnerC. at the last momentD. a week before the dinner45. It would be impolite to _____.A. put bones on your plates with fingersB. persuade others to drink moreC. drink soup with your spoonD. make sure that there is nothing left on your face after dinner46. Which of the following is not true?A. After dinner, you'd better stay and talk with your friends for a long time to show your thanks.B. You'd better ring your friend the next day to show your thanks.C. After dinner, you'd better leave in half an hour.D. After dinner, use napkin to clean your mouth.DWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.47. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.48. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.49. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker50. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

B. C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AShopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacke t is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wa sting my time and yours by trying it on.”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is o nly “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.36. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. differences between men and women shoppersB. A man goes shopping because he needs somethingC. How women go about buying clothes.D. Women are better at shopping than men37. The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ________.A. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dearB. he buys whatever he likes without considering its valueC. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right thingsD. he often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.38. What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?A. He buys a similar thing because of the color he wants.B. He usually does not buy anything.C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.39. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A. Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do.B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.C. The time they take over buying clothes.D. Men go shopping based on need, but women never.B.Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friend ship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to friends. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing then you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends; you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.40. Some friendships don’t last long because __________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those (who never give others friendships) receive no friendship from othersC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don’t know friendship is something serious41. According to the passage honesty is __________.A. something countableB. the base of friendshipC. as important as moneyD. more important than anything else42. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A. Always tell your friend the truth.B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D.A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.43. The best title of this passage is __________.A. Honesty Is the Best PolicyB.A Friend In Need Is a Friend IndeedC. How To Be a FriendD. Three Important Points In LifeCWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that were also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants will become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help a country's economy (经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects( 影响)them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well being of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy will suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs.Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, broad roads, and other things needed by places of interest. For example, a five star tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities (支撑设施) as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, and sewers to handle waste and water.All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.44. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the part that goes before this passage?A. It is very important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.C. Support facilities are highly important.D. Planning is very important to tourism.45. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____.A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure (压力) on traffic46. Not enough tourism can lead to ____.A. an increase of unemployment (失业)B. a decrease(减退)in tourist attractionsC. the higher cost of support facilitiesD. a rise in price and a fall in payDMoney is all surrounding us．Every day, we see it, use it, and it is on the tip of our tongue．Did you ever stop to take into consideration where the money that you carry around every day comes from?Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task．It has up to 65 steps. When the money in circulation（流通）gets dirty and worn out, it is replaced with new money.The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is ually, the old money is burned.The burned money is replaced by new paper moneyIf old money is being replaced, then new money is printed in a place called a mint（造币厂）．Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency （流通货币）．These large sheets are cut into individual bills.The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks．Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture (portraits of statesman and places of interest are favoured)or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill. It takes a long time, and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks, first, people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed ;Then, they ask anartist to design the new bill．A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die．The dies are made and put onto large printing machines.Then, very special paper is used, which no one but the mint can have．Along with this special paper, the mint also prints currency using special colours．After the dies print the new currency onto the paper, the bills are cut, stacked, and sent off to the banks．47．From the passage we know thatA．banks make new moneyB．it takes 65 procedures to make new moneyC．mints decide what kind of bill is neededD．old money that is not used is forever stored in a special place48．We can infer from the passage that a die is ____A．something for dead peopleB．a special machine that prints the moneyC．a special piece of paper that the money is made fromD．a piece of metal that puts the picture on the money49．'Which of the following shows the right order of dealing with new money?①New money is printed in a mint．②Bills are cut from large sheets of special paper．③New money is sent in large amounts to banks．④The government decides to make new money．A. ①②③④ B．④③②① C．④①③② D．④①②③50．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．The reason for making new money．B．The processes of making a new bill．C．The amount of new money needed．D．Things used．to make new money or a new bill．四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He notes however, that although patients have such interest, only up to 2% of doctors in the United States offer e-mail services.Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point patients to patients information materials and sources on the Internet. It’s said that more than 10.000 health-oriented websites already exist now.However some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care—one “haves” and another for the “have-nots”. But Pal points out that “In the near future nearly every library wil l offer (Internet and e-mail)services in the United States, ” allowing even low-income patients to use such means. Pal also talks about other possible barriers to acceptance of medical e-mail.“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload and uncertainty about the time they spent,” he explained, and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others. “But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.E-mail may well help us a lot in health care, Pa l concludes. “Patients want to know more than they can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway less fearful than face-to-face dialogue with their doctors.”36. The article introduces a new way of patient-doctor communication ________.A. by e-mailB. by visiting websitesC. by searching the InternetD. by using the computer37. According to the passage, some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might ______.A. help both those who have access to the Internet and those who don’tB. meet double doubts from those who have access to the Internet and those who don’tC. make trouble between those who can use the Internet and those who cannotD. make trouble between those who have Internet experiences and those who haven’38. All the following points are advantages of using medical e-mail EXCEPT _______.A. it is more reliableB. it is less frighteningC. it enables patients and doctors to understand each other betterD. it provides patients with more choices of treatment39.What does the underlined word “barriers” mean?A. Ways.B. Dangers.C. Things that prevent progress.D. Secrets.BThousands of years ago, birthdays were considered special days. On birthdays, the bad spirits were able to harm you and change your life. It was believed that the only way to solve the problem was to have your friends and family around you, so that good wishes and presents would keep the bad spirits away. Also, noisemakers were thought to be used at parties as a way of scaring away the evil spirits.The custom of lighting candles was created by people believing that the gods lived in the sky. By lighting candles and torches, they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods, so they could be answered. Blowing out the candles and making a wish were thought to be another way of sending a signal or a message.This is how the way we celebrate our birthdays came about. But different cultures celebrate in different ways.The birthday story in the Bible（圣经）that we know best is about the birth of the Christ in Bethlehem（地名：伯利恒）. For nearly 2000 years since that day, the Christian world has been honoring this birth. The day many Englishmen celebrate is, of course, Christmas. There are other references to birthday parties. King Pharaoh celebrated his birthday by making a feast for his court followers. That was over 4000 years ago. The story of King Herodtells that on his birthday he made a supper for his lords, high captains and other special friends in Galilee (地名：加利利).40. According to the passage, good wishes and presents given by one’s friendsand family on his birthday can _____________________.A. cheer him upB. push bad spirits awayC. bring him a big fortuneD. prove that he’s a popular person41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. People send messages to the gods by lighting or blowing out the candles.B. The gods celebrate their birthdays by lighting candles.C. The custom of lighting candles originated with the gods.D. The gods will help people realize their dreams on their birthdays.42. The two ancient kings’ ways of celebrating their birthdays show__________________.A. how great the two kings wereB. that their court followers were awarded the special honorsC. the two kings’ excellent cooking skillsD. how different cultures celebrate in different ways43. The passage is mainly about __________________.A. the functions of the noises made on birthdays.B. how to scare away the bad spirits on birthdaysC. how birthdays came aboutD. the origin of a famous day ChristmasCLanguage is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.44. The early language had ________.A. a lot of problemsB. words and easy grammarC. words but no grammarD. grammar but not many words45. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.A. stay exactly the sameB. change a great dealC. change only a littleD. ask more words and drop some grammar46. What this article shows is that _____.A. languages change fastB. languages really don't want to changeC. language is really with changes in societyD. Spanish and English changeDIf Confucius(孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be many candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t eve n remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.47. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC. show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations48. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. take an active part in Chinese competitionsC. try to get high scores in Chinese examsD. fight for a chance to learn Chinese49. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the ChineseLanguageC. Chinese Culture for WesternersD. Old Thinker with a Big Future50. The passage is likely to appear in ___________.A. a biography(自传)B. a history paperC. a newspaperD.a philosophy textbook四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑ABEIJING—Seven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that theywould begin using the same independent exam —besides the national one —totest students hoping to gain entrance to them in 2011.The seven are Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing NormalUniversity, Nankai University, Fudan University, Xiamen University and HongKong University.Students who want to gain entrance to any of the seven universities will only have to sit one independent exam, according to the joint announcement.“This will help lighten the students’ load, otherwise they must take several exams for different universities ,”said the announcement.Passing the exam could result in more than one interview chance, giving the students more opportunities to choose their favorite universities.China’ s college entrance exam system is undergoing reform as universities aim to select students based on independent criteria rather than just using the results of the national exam.In 2003, Peking University and another 21 universities were allowed to pilot (试用) the reform by using their own criteria to independently select five percent of their students.Now nearly 80 universities across the country have the right to select talented students based on their own exams.Education experts regard universities selecting students according to independent examinations as conducive (有助的) to better understanding where the students’ talents lie.Although this may be the case, it has also created problems as students may sit many different exams as they often apply for a number of universities.To relieve students from such pressures, the national education outline (2010—2020) released in July this year encourages high-level universities to group together to use the same exams.36. If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities, they can______.A. only pass the interview.B. only take the national exam.C. only take the independent exam.D. either take the national exam or take the independent exam.37. What’s the purpose of students sitting one independent exam to gain entrance to the seven universities?A. It can reduce students’ load to take several exams.B. The universities will have the same standard to test students.C. There will be less trouble marking students’ test papers.D. It can avoid fierce competition among these universities.38. If students pass the independent exam, they will ______.A. take the national exam.B. have one or more interview chances.C. be admitted to one of the universities.D. he trained to be adapted to universities life and studies.39. What is the advantage of universities selecting students according to independent examinations?A. Students needn’t take the national exam.B. Students ’education cost can be lowered.C. Students’ abilities and talen ts can be better found.D. It can encourage middle schools to recommend more qualified students.BThe United Nations is warning that the world is not prepared to deal with the fast growth of cities. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013 calls for new ways to meet the needs of city populations. More than 6.5 billion people are expected to be living in cities by 2050.Most new city dwellers will be in developing countries. The United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge. The World Economic and Social Survey points to the increasing demand for energy, water, sanitation, public services, education and health care.The world population is expected to rise to more than nine billion by 2050, two-thirds of all people are expected to live in cities. The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.The report says sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination and investments to deal with important issues, these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.Willem Van Der Geest is with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, he says cities need to work closely with rural communities, so that food supplies can be secured, and the environment can be protected."We need enough integration(整合，融合) with cities... An integration between the rural and urban economies is absolutely vital for issues of nutrition, food security, and environmental sustainability."The report says development in a sustainable（可持续发展）way is important to end poverty. The report also examines the problem of food insecurity, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. One in eight people still severely lack nutrition.UN officials say some things are clear. The Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Shamshad Akhtar, says world food production will have to increase by 70%, that increase will be needed to feed the additional 2.3 billion people expected on the planet by the middle of the century. She says an important part of meeting that need is to waste less food. "There has to beefforts to reduce food wastage. ."Food and nutrition security are core elements of the sustainable development agenda.40. The survey includes the following statements except that ______.A. varieties of demands are hard to meet because of the increasingpopulation in Africa and Asia.B. one way to put an end to poverty is to be able to develop for a long time.C. transportation is an important issue to deal with when it comes tosustainable development of urban areas.D. hundreds of millions of people around the world are affected by theproblem of food insecurity.41. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. cities g row so fast that the world can’t find out new ways to deal withthe growing population.B. the growing city dwellers who mainly come from the developing countriesgreatly challenge limited resources in the world.C. sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination andinvestments to deal with important issuesD. food wastage is an effective way to feed the additional 2.3 biilionpeople by the middle of the century.42. What is the best titile of the passage?A. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013.B. City Population Will Increase to 9 Billion.C. Cities Need to Cooperate with Rural Areas.D.

Recently my attitude has began to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn Enlish well. Standing in front of my people,I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my specch ,leaving everyone puzzled.

I have received many awards in school,but they don’t show anything about me.I am just storing knowledge,yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good change to get to know society.44、From the passage we can learn that the author______.es to know how important it is to make some moneyB.realizes that it is more impotant to develop oneself than just to learn knowledgeC.does not think education is the most important thing in his life any moreD.thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education45.

I feel bad for her. I can tell that she just wants to be around her big brother. The look on Nita’s face reminds me of the look on T.J’s face earlier in the evening . Now I don’t feel so good about T.J’s silence at the dinner table.When Brad and I finish working on the project, I see Nita in the front of the room .She still looks sad.“Hey, Nita! Do you know what the hamburger named his daughter ?” I ask.“I don’t know.
