More information about Beginners Writing Project can be found at ____.A. /townerB. C. D. BIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indian, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and could n’t function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A. It is wise to value on e’s time.B. It is important to make an effort.C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ___.A. recite their homework togetherB. grade their homework questions orallyC. answer their homework questionsD. check the answers to their homework questions63. The author could work out which question to answer since the teacher always ___.A. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questionsC. chose two or three questions for the studentsD. requested her students to finish their usual questions64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ____.A. the class did n’t begin as usualB. several students didn’t come to schoolC. he did n’t try hard to make his estimateD. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB. A Future MathematicianC. An Effective ApproachD. A Valuable LessonCThe behavior of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emission (排放) by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own – though extremely important –is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behavior of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率), which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,”explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, “consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面), suggesting that individuals’behavior in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted –whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (位温器), for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about building and their own behavior in them.66. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of ___.A. zero-carbon homesB. the behavior of building usersC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emission67. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to “____”.A. the waysB. their homesC. developmentsD. existing efforts68. What are Katy Janda’s words mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users’ habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building design.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.69. The information gap in energy use ___.A. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB. affects the study on energy monitorsC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users’ old habits70. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behavior of building users is unpredictable.D. The behavior preference of building users is similar.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many of us invest valuable time, energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK –but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分). Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness –time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destination to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is from more important.Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions. Second, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possession.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Kids and PondsYears ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to go skating in the neighborhood.One day, a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominium. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures (签名) to stop the development. A group of citizens met and decided to support him.At the meeting of the town planning board (委员会), the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds, his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children. A few days later, the developer stopped his plan.Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness, he used environment protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land, and are still there today.81. What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter?(No more than 6 words) (2 marks) 82. How did the boy win the citizen s’ support?(No more than 10 words) (2 marks)83. What did the boy tell the town officials?(No more than 16 words) (3 marks)84. What helped the boy to protect the ponds successfully nine years later?(No more than 12 words) (3 marks) Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.学校正在组织科技创新大赛，你想为日常生活中某件物品（如钢笔、书包、鞋子……）设计添加新功能来参赛。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to b etter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier— our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that________.A. the author complains about her parents ‘being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD. some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always right.D. Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimaterelationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should ________firstly .A. have willingness to do soB. have love for themC. get into connection with themD. care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to________ .A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage 2Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gi fts back to the store to exchange for something they reallywanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)________.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. Must be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ________ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC.abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that ________.A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping.70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is________ .A. indifferentB. protestingC.objectiveD. supportivePassage 3They already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’t need to communicate ver bally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for________.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. communicating with the owner in a non verbal wayD. helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to stay with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will________.A. respond to t he owners’ orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners’ instructionsD. act on the trainers’ order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be________.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage 4It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally.Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They gave CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs77.

It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.

official report．24．（12分）Passenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers．Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours．It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons﹣a number equal to 24to 40percent of the total bird population in the United States，making it perhaps the most abundant bird in theworld．Even as late as 1870when their numbers had already become smaller，a flock believed to be 1mile wide and 320miles （about 515kilometers）long was seen near Cincinnati．Sadly，the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing．Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an ever﹣lasting supply and killed them by the thousands．Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain，waited until pigeons had settled to feed，then threw large nets over them，taking hundreds at a time．The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans'need for wood，which scattered （驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north，where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline．Soon the great flocks were gone，never to be seen again．In 1897，the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then，no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10years．The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County，Ohio，in 1900．For a time，a few birds survived under human care．The last of them，known affectionately as Martha，died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1，1914．24．In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeons．A．were the biggest bird in the worldB．lived mainly in the south of AmericaC．did great harm to the natural environmentD．were the largest bird population in the US25．The underlined word"undoing"probably refers to the pigeons'．A．escape B．ruin C．liberation D．evolution 26．What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons？A．To seek pleasure B．To save other birdsC．To make money D．To protect crops．27．What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan？A．It was ignored by the public B．It was declared too late．C．It was unfair D．It was strict．28．（12分）A typical lion tamer （驯兽师）in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭）and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）﹣﹣﹣﹣only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．28．Why does the lion tamer use a chair？A．To show off his skills．B．To trick the lion．C．To get ready for a fight．D．To entertain the audience．29．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？A．They feel puzzled over choices．B．They hold on to the wrong things．C．They find it hard to make changed．D．They have to do something for show．30．What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？A．Tolerant B．Doubtful C．Respectful D．Supportive．31．When the world is"waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to．A．wait for a better chanceB．break your old habitsC．make a quick decisionD．ask for clear guidance．32．（12分）As more and more people speak the global languages of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing．In fact，half of the 6，000﹣7，000languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century，according to the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）．In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations﹣﹣﹣﹣UNESCO and National Geographic among them﹣﹣﹣﹣have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect．Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Center，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following in that tradition．His recently published book，A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working，andraising a family in a village in Nepal．Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China．But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record．At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials﹣﹣﹣﹣including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes﹣﹣﹣﹣which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection．Now，through the two organizations that he has founded﹣﹣﹣﹣the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project﹣﹣﹣﹣Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected．Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities．32．Many scholars are making efforts to．A．promote global languageB．rescue disappearing languagesC．search for language communitiesD．set up language research organizations33．What does"that tradition"in Paragraph 3refer to？A．Having full records of the languages．B．Writing books on language teaching．C．Telling stories about language users．D．Living with the native speakers．34．What is Turin's book based on？A．The cultural studies in India．B．The documents available at Yale．C．His language research in Bhutan．D．His personal experience in Nepal．35．Which of the following best describes Turin's work？A．Write，sell and donate．B．Record，repair and reward．C．Design，experiment and report．D．Collect，protect and reconnect．第二节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15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．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（15分）The jobs of the future have not yet been invented．（36）By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds．1．CuriosityYour children need to be deeply curious．（37）Ask kids，"What ingredients （配料）can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？"and then try them out．Did those ingredients make the pancakes better？What could we try next time？2．CreativityTrue creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it．（38）There are a dozen different things you can do with them．Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity．3．Personal

jumping to false conclusions．（39）"Why do you think she's crying？""Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face？""If someone were to do that to you，how would you feel？"4．Self

with you．B．And we can't forget science education．C．We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways．D．We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories．E．Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill．F．So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don't yet exist？G．Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．41．（40分）As a general rule，all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine

numbers．Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours．It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons﹣a number equal to 24to 40percent of the total bird population in the United States，making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world．Even as late as 1870when their numbers had already become smaller，a flock believed to be 1mile wide and 320miles （about 515kilometers）long was seen near Cincinnati．Sadly，the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing．Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an ever﹣lasting supply and killed them by the thousands．Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain，waited until pigeons had settled to feed，then threw large nets over them，taking hundreds at a time．The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans'need for wood，which scattered （驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north，where coldtemperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline．Soon the great flocks were gone，never to be seen again．In 1897，the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then，no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10years．The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County，Ohio，in 1900．For a time，a few birds survived under human care．The last of them，known affectionately as Martha，died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1，1914．24．In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeons D．A．were the biggest bird in the worldB．lived mainly in the south of AmericaC．did great harm to the natural environmentD．were the largest bird population in the US25．The underlined word"undoing"probably refers to the pigeons'B．A．escape B．ruin C．liberation D．evolution 26．What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons？CA．To seek pleasure B．To save other birdsC．To make money D．To protect crops．27．What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan？BA．It was ignored by the public B．It was declared too late．C．It was unfair D．It was strict．【分析】文章主要讲述了旅鸽的灭绝的故事，由于人们警惕意识弱，相关法律出台太晚，最后一只旅鸽也在100年前死去．【解答】24．D．推理判断题．根据第二段的内容可知，据计算，旅鸽数量最多时，有30多亿只，相当于美国鸟类总数的24%﹣40%．到1870年，旅鸽的数量已经减少了，但是，有人在Cincinnati附近看到鸽群的规模为1英里宽，320英里长．由此可见，在18至19世纪，旅鸽的数量最多．第一段的第二句也是关键信息．故选D．25．B．词义猜测题．根据第三段的内容可知，旅鸽的数量巨大最终导致它们灭绝．undoing意为"毁灭"，与ruin同义．故选B．26．C．细节理解题．根据第三段可知，商业猎人用大网来围捕旅鸽，然后运到大城市卖给餐馆，由此可见，人们捕杀旅鸽主要是为了赚钱．故选C．27．B．推理判断题．根据最后一段的内容可知，1897年密歇根州出台了法律，禁止捕杀旅鸽．那时，人们已经十年没有看到大规模的旅鸽群出没．由此可知，保护旅鸽的法律出台太晚了．故选B．28．（12分）（2014•新课标Ⅰ）A typical lion tamer （驯兽师）in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭）and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）﹣﹣﹣﹣only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want togo，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．28．Why does the lion tamer use a chair？AA．To show off his skills．B．To trick the lion．C．To get ready for a fight．D．To entertain the audience．29．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？AA．They feel puzzled over choices．B．They hold on to the wrong things．C．They find it hard to make changed．D．They have to do something for show．30．What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？BA．Tolerant B．Doubtful C．Respectful D．Supportive．31．When the world is"waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to C．A．wait for a better chanceB．break your old habitsC．make a quick decisionD．ask for clear guidance．【分析】本文是一篇议论文．文章以驯兽师拿一把椅子在狮子面前，狮子感到困惑，呆立不动的例子导入，其实我们人也一样，当面对多个选择时，不知该选哪一个，又怕选错了，因此往往进展很小，甚至保持原样．文章旨在告诉我们当遇到多种选择时，要专注一件事，并下决心做下去．【解答】28．A 考查细节理解．根据第一段中"When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time"可知，当驯兽师拿着椅子在狮子面前时，狮子关注椅子的四条腿，因此椅子用是用来戏耍狮子的．故选A．。

When children learn a language, they learn the grammar as well as the words or vocabulary. No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired, and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling（牙牙学语）stage”. A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child first utterances（言语）are one-word sentences. After a few months，the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race（种族）, social class, geography, or even intelligence. This ability is uniquely human.（10分） (1) This passage is mainly about _________. （2分）A.the difference between a child s language and an adult sB. ways of teaching babies to talkC.children‟s learning of the mother languageD.the importance of learning foreign languages★标准答案：C(2) The phrase “pick them up”（Line 2，Paragraph1）means “_________ ”. （2分）A. raise them from the groundB.learn them without much efforte hands to help carry themD.study very hard and remember them★标准答案：B(3) During the “babbling stage”, babies _________. （2分）A.can only produce soundsB.learn to walk steadilyC.can unders tand people‟s talkD.begin to produce two-word sentences★标准答案：A(4) The two-word sentences produced by babies _________. （2分）A.are simpler than those produced in the “babbling stage”B.are more difficult than those produced in the telegraphic stageC.are strictly grammaticalD.are meaningful and have function★标准答案：D(5) Any child can learn language as long as he is _________. （2分）A. well-educatedB.clever enoughC.uniqueD.physically normal★标准答案：D2. In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment,a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12.On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 A.M.S several arrived after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students‟ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. Ifthey had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late. （10分） (1) The word “punctual” most probably means _ __. （2分）A.leaving soon after classing earlyC.arriving a few minutes lateD. being on time★标准答案：D(2) Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior? （2分）A.He felt puzzled at the students' being late.B.He felt angry at the students' rudeness.C.He wanted to make the students come on time later.D.He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.★标准答案：A(3) It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that __ __. （2分）A.American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time★标准答案：C(4) From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil __ __. （2分）A.it is important to arrive at the appointed timeB.it is rude to keep the professor staying after callsC.it is normal for students to leave during lecturesD.it is acceptable for professors to be late for class.★标准答案：D(5) What is the main idea of this passage? （2分）A.It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time from the culture they are in.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.★标准答案：B3.

Mother‟s Day is certainly a very special day for the community. The SOS mothers are regarded as great examples of maternal care. They are admired and respected for their committed work and patience in the care of so many children, normally six to ten kids in a family.For the kids of the village, the celebration has turned out to be twice as important. For them, it is not a common mother‟s day. Many have lost their biological mot hers, others have no contact with them, and a few cannot live with them because their mothers and family are in trouble. In this context, the SOS mother is everything to them, and, of course, she receives all their attention and love during this celebration. At school, the kids prepare special cards for their mothers. Most of the time, they make them with their own hands, while other children, the more imaginative, add on a little flower, often taken from the garden of a neighbor. At the end of the day, though, no child forgets to give a present to his mother. They all love them and feel proud of having someone like her when Moth er‟s Day arrives. At school, they shout out “Mummy” in front of their school mates, kind of trying to underline that they also have a mother.Right on Mother‟s Day, which is commemorated the second week of May in Ecuador, I came across Zoila, an experienced SOS mother. And as I took the chance to ask her what it feels like to be an SOS mother, she answered, “I am proud of being a mother, and I feel happy to have the chance to care for innocent, ingenious and mischievous creatures—my sons and daughters. They are so young that they give me their love with total sincerity. They don‟t seem to expect anything from me but just an …I care for you and I love you‟. I don‟t have children myself, but these kids really make me feel like a mother—more human, fuller of life. This work is hard, but the recompense of my children is absolutely great.”So, Happy Mother’s Day to every woman in the world! （10分） (1) According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true about SOS mothers? （2分）A.They are dedicated and patient to their children.B.They are admired for their maternal care for their children.C.They normally have six to ten biological kids in a family.D.Mother‟s Day is very special for them.★标准答案：C(2) Why is SOS mother important to these SOS children? （2分）A.

Among the few scientists who have had a great effect on science and history, Albert Einstein is perhaps the greatest. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new view of the universe. His theory has completely changed the way scientists understand time and space. Now, more and more people agree that the universe is something complicated than what they have ever thought before.Einstein was born is Germany in 1879. By 1914, young Einstein, already internationally famous, became a professor at an institute in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study. However, his peaceful life was soon broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. He was deeply affected by the war; he sat unhappily in his office doing little and lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following the First World War, people showered honors upon him. He became the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize for Physics and was greatly honored and respected in Germany.
