AFrom: jovangagic56@memail. comTo: kmallory@Subject: Hi!Dear Mr. Mallory,I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July. I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK, but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations.Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated "in the heart of Edinburgh". This is misleading as my accommodation was, in fact, situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque（美丽的） part of the suburbs.In addition, the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of Europe's most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park, another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars. Finally, on our one trip into the city center our "guide" readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh, and had in fact never visited the city before. I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotland's treasures. In fact, I was left in the city center with no map and told to "check things out" while your employee went shopping in Princes Street. This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years' hard work and saving. Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring), the accommodation andactivity programme were wholly unsatisfactory.I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciatea reply within the next two weeks.Yours sincerely,Jovan Gagic21. Jovan wrote the email to __________.A. express dissatisfactionB. raise expectationsC. provide informationD. share experiences22. According to Jovan, the guide __________.A. had a good knowledge of the cityB. received punishment for bad behaviorC. organized cultural activitiesD. failed to perform duties23. What effect does Jovan want his email to have on Mr. Mallory?A. To bring him disappointment.B. To get him into trouble.C. To make him feel sorry.D. To cause him worry.BAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel bloo d flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped thecar, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. "I was losing faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it."Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer."24. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?A. She was taking exercise.B. She was feeding wild animals.C. She was driving home.D. She was resting on the road.25. What did Alexis do to save Sue?A. She drove the car to hit the deer.B. She beat the deer with a hammer.C. She pushed the deer away.D. She hit the deer with her feet26. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?A. Energetic.B. Brave.C. Strong.D. Cruel.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyB. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer AttackC. A Woman Was Seriously InjuredD. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanCA Good Night's SleepSleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life.While you're sleeping, your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information. Although we all know the importance of getting a good night's sleep, not all of us know the best way of getting it. A sleep expert, Phil Atherton, gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night, which will leave you ready for action in the morning.According to Phil Atherton, not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good night's sleep. The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours. So you'd better avoid eating any food three hours before bed, as it will low er your blood sugar during sleep and help minimize damage from too much sugar floating around.It's also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep. You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within 1 hour before bed, as your brain uses light to help set internal "body clock". Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep, the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that it's time to sleep.Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music. Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures.Having a suitable bed, especially a suitable mattress (床垫), is necessary for a good night's sleep. Sleep is a personalized activity, and we all adopt different sleeping positions. Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position. The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user, allowing for space to move around.The recent research is pretty clear that a good night's sleep in a major component of good health. Since the start of the 21st century, studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you.28. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A. What to do with sleep problem.B. Why to form a good habit of sleeping.C. When to start a sound sleep.D. How to get a good night's sleep.29. According to the author, before going to sleep, you'd better __________.A. relieve your pain in the backB. record your biological clockC. free yourself from tensionD. check your blood sugar30. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Not sleeping well.B. Having a good sleep.C. Not eating food.D. Taking a meal.31. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionDEverybody needs bloodHave you ever seen buses on the street for donating blood? Medical workers on board collect blood from volunteers. The blood is then stored up and given to people who have lost a large amount of it due to accidents or diseases.Blood is one of the most important substances (物质) supporting our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. Type O negative blood (O-), for example, only exists in 7 percent of people, according to Sunday Times. There are fewer donors and therefore there isn’t enough of this type of blood for everybody who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to be examined carefully for disease such as hepatitis (肝炎) and HIV to make sure that it’s safe for transfusion.This is why scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now, someone finally succeeded—Marc Turner at the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes.Unlike many other scientists, who have tried to make blood substitutes by mixing up different ingredients together, Turner chose to grow blood directly from human stem cells (干细胞). He developed a special technique to create a chemical environment similar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully into red blood cell.According to Turner, his version of artificial blood is unlikely to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that what he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, it’s also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.The new blood is scheduled for human tests in 2016. However, Turner stressed that the new study should not be taken as a signal for people to stop donating blood because it could be another 20 years before the artificial blood can be manufactured on a large sc ale. “It is one thing to bake a cake and another thing to bake a cake 100 times the size,” said Turner. “It’s not just a matter of putting in 100 times the ingredients.”32．According to the text, a potential danger of blood transfusion is that_____.A. it is impossible to store up large amounts of bloodB. blood transfusion may lead to some terrible infections（感染）C. it is very hard to find matches for certain blood typesD. blood transfusion often leads to serious side effects33．The study Marc Turner did is different from those of many other scientists in that _____.A. he grew artificial blood using human stem cellsB. he was able to discover the special function of type O- bloodC. he produced the first artificial blood in the worldD. he used special ingredients to produce artificial blood cells34．We can know from the text that__________.A. people with type O- blood can receive blood transfusion from anyoneB. the practice of blood transfusion will end in 20 yearsC. the new blood produced by Turner has been experimented on human beingsD. the artificial blood produced by Turner will be a safe and uni versal type35. Which of the following words best describes Turner’s attitude towards theapplication of his artificial blood?A. Pessimistic.（悲观的）B. Doubtful.C. Cautious.（谨慎的）D. Uninterested. 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，共10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ALive in CaveKokopelli’s Cave Bed &Breakfast, Farmington, New Mexico.The idea may seem very stone age, but this lone unit, which was carved into a 65-million-year-old sandstone rock, is filled with modern amenities(便利设施). The Travel Channel says these “cave comforts” include a comfortable bedroom, large fire circle, and rainfall shower. Plus, the views of the La Plata River and nearby mountains are breathtaking.$260/ night;Sleep below the SurfaceJules’ Undersea Lodge, Key Largo, Florida.This hotel, which is named after20,000 Leagues Under the Sea author Jules Verne, is the world’s only underwate r hotel.

Science.BIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big hums(脊背)in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it –---there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale----actually as big as our boat----was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other。

It can be inferred that the places are mainly intended for____.A. childrenB. young couplesC. the disabledD. familiesBIt’s a little known fact that August 13th is celebrated as Left-handers’ day throughout the world. A number of left-handers’associations celebrate it and draw attention to this special day but it is not done enough.We have not heard of left-handed parades(游行) or large parties. There will always be some mention of this day in a few newspapers or local TV stations that can be easily missed by public at large. The question is what we can do to bring moreattention to Left-handers’ Day.On August 13th, 1976 an organization known as Left-handers International first declared this holiday. This organization served as a source of information for left-handers. It also sold left-handed products for several years before going out of business. No one really picked it up from there. Now, it’s up to individuals (个人) and local organizations to celebrate this day.To celebrate Left-handers’Day, you can organize a party and invite left-handers from your family, neighborhood, workplace or school. Also, don’t forget to invite your right-handed friends. Give your good wishes to all the left-handers you know and send them cards/e-cards. Buy a gift, preferably a left-handed product, for a special left-handed friend.On August 13th, wear a T-shirt that says something about left-handers or the left-hander’s day. Let your local newspaper and TV station know about Left-hander’s Day by writing to them. Write to your senator (参议员), congressmen (众议员), mayor etc. informing them about left-hander’s day. Send cards to left-handed celebrities (名人), wishing them a happy Left-hander’s Day. If you are a school teacher or are associated with school activities, educate the kids about Left-handers’ Day.If you have any other suggestions, please let us know. We will add it to this list. Also, if you have a local left-handers’ association, tell us about it and we will help you spread the word so that you can attract new members. Finally, send us photos, stories, articles on how you have celebrated Left-handers’ Day and we will publish them here.24. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that Left-handers’ Day____.A. is often celebrated with paradesB. is drawing more and more attentionC. is not known by many peopleD. is seldom mentioned in any newspaper25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How to celebrate Left-hander s’ Day.B. History of Left-handers’ Day.C. Advantages of being left-handed.D. How the date was chosen for Left-handers’ Day.26. To celebrate Left-handers’ Day, you are advised in the passage to____.A. wear a special T-shirt to celebrate the dayB. use your left hand to write cards to left-handersC. hold a party that doesn’t include right-handersD. ask left-handed celebrities to celebrate it in public27. The passage was written mainly to____.A. collect people’s opinions about being left-handedB. introduce left-handed celebritiesC. promote Left-handers’ DayD. encourage left-handed people to live a normal lifeCA jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And whoever doesn’t exist cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital (资本). He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet (车队) of deliveryvehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail.”The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail? ”The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”28. Why can’t the man have the job at Microsoft?A. Because he was lazy.B. Because he didn’t pass the test.C. Because he didn’t have a computer.D. Because he didn’t have an e-mail.29. The underlined word “triple” can be replaced by____.A. become 3 timesB. become largeC. increase quicklyD. decrease quickly30. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The man is one of the biggest food retailers in the world.B. The man didn’t give up though he failed the interview.C. He started his career by selling tomatoes in the supermarket.D. Those who have e-mails can work at Microsoft.31. Which proverb can best describe the story?A. Accidents will happen.B. Business is business.C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.D. No pains, no gains.DWhat should you think about in trying to find your career (职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the otherhand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.32. Which of the following best sums up (总结) the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. The importance of being good at all subjects.C. Using school performance to help to choose a career.D. The indirect value of school work.33. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably____.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. a good way to earn extra moneyC. useful for his future workD. a good way to find out his weak points34. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A. History.B. English.C. Technical Drawing.D. Mathematics.35. The whole passage centers on____.A. developing one’s abilities useful in school workB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one’s strong and weak pointsD. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Yet, I was determinedto go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “ not athletic ”.The idea that I was “ not athletic ” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!T he night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS ! ”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “ marathon winner ”.4. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope5. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.6. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.7. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.CHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic(立体的) sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width—can be perceived(感知). So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular(双目并用的) sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. Ifyou think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.8. According to the passage, an eye is like a camera because both_______A. can record images.B. can imagine objects.C. provide wrong images.D. work at the same speed.9. Stereoscopic sight is a result of having _____________.A. a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sight．B. hundreds of eyes, all seeing tiny parts of an image．C. two eyes close to each other that work together．D. one eye on either side of the head, each seeing a different image．10. Which of the following is true according the passage?A. The function of the camera is complex.B. With stereoscopic sight, humans can see the world in 3-D.C. Humans should realize the importance of eyes.D. Humans and animals have the same sight.11. What can be inferred from the underlined sentences in the last paragraph ?A. Only humans can judge how far it is from other objects.B. It is beneficial for us to wear glasses.C. Humans have better eyesight than animals.D. It is fortunate that humans have stereoscopic sight．DSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film(薄膜) plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited(禁止) in some 90 citiesin California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers’arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground todayThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.12. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Argue for the use of plastic bags.D. Stop things falling off trucks.13. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.14. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMost people love to lose themselves in a great book, maybe a classic novel, a modern storybook or a great work of history. But many people also live busy lives, and for them finding time to sit quietly and read are different. Fortunately, with the coming of the Internet, more and more people are making literature a part of their lives again.A very special website now makes it possible for people to listen to books that they simply would not have time to read. The site is called Audible Inc., and it’s the best place to download audio books. Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of these books have been recorded. They include nearly every classic, as well as most newly-published ones. Most of these are read by voice actors who really bring the text to life.Audible Inc. lets you easily and quickly download a book and load it onto your iPod or other MP3 players, or onto CDs so that you can listen in your car. The site is like , but for audio books. It includes thousands of recommendations and customer reviews that are extremely helpful. The site lets you listen to a free piece of each book so you can tell ahead what the narrator(讲述者)sounds like. No wonder that most people who listen to an audio book for the first time are immediately attracted.This is the perfect opportunity to find out what so many people know about audio books.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything.I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was not something she should go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one ofdisbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest o f the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.5.What made Kate so angry one evening?A．She couldn’t find her books.B．She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.D．She heard the author shouting loud.6.The author tidied up the room most probably because _______.A．she was scared by Kate’s angerB．she hated herself for being so messyC．she was asked by Kate to do soD．she wanted to show her care7. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A．By showing differences B．By analyzing causesC．By describing a process D．By following time order8.What might be the best title for the story?A．My Friend Kate B．Learning to Be RoommatesC．How to Be Organized D．Hard Work Pays OffCFriendships can be difficult — because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. During a period of friendship people often just take care of themselves and their own needs, not those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she was in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.9.This passage mainly talks about ________.A．the importance of friendshipB．the advantages of friendshipC．the disadvantages of friendshipD．the problems of friendship10.According to the writer, problems with friendship may appear when _____.A. one is selfishB. one is honest C．one is open D．one is kind11.According to the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is ________.A．not to hurt your friends' feelingsB．to give your friends whatever you haveC．to treat your friend as you like to beD．not to think of your own need any more12.What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems?A．To have a comfortable life.B．To be treated the way you want.C．To build stronger and healthier friendships.D．To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.DWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness? The answer is not the common cold or flu, but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults, costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain’s National Health Ser vice (NHS) will be offering a new solution: acupuncture(针灸). The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years, but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS.Traditionally, doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active, do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines. However, there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections, so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture, patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation (脊柱推拿), or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK, acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment, which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS, some are still doubtful about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks (牙签) which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced, back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.13. According to the passage, which is the best way to treat back pain?A. To stay active.B. To do stretching exercises.C. To be acupunctured.D. To take X-ray treatment or injections.14. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture?A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture costs too much.15.The underlined word “available” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _______.A. expensiveB. usefulC. perfectD. amazing第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

It can be inferred that the places are mainly intended for____.A. childrenB. young couplesC. the disabledD. familiesBIt’s a little known fact that August 13th is celebrated as Left-handers’ day throughout the world. A number of left-handers’associations celebrate it and draw attention to this special day but it is not done enough.We have not heard of left-handed parades(游行) or large parties. There will always be some mention of this day in a few newspapers or local TV stations that can be easily missed by public at large. The question is what we can do to bring moreattention to Left-handers’ Day.On August 13th, 1976 an organization known as Left-handers International first declared this holiday. This organization served as a source of information for left-handers. It also sold left-handed products for several years before going out of business. No one really picked it up from there. Now, it’s up to individuals (个人) and local organizations to celebrate this day.To celebrate Left-handers’Day, you can organize a party and invite left-handers from your family, neighborhood, workplace or school. Also, don’t forget to invite your right-handed friends. Give your good wishes to all the left-handers you know and send them cards/e-cards. Buy a gift, preferably a left-handed product, for a special left-handed friend.On August 13th, wear a T-shirt that says something about left-handers or the left-hander’s day. Let your local newspaper and TV station know about Left-hander’s Day by writing to them. Write to your senator (参议员), congressmen (众议员), mayor etc. informing them about left-hander’s day. Send cards to left-handed celebrities (名人), wishing them a happy Left-hander’s Day. If you are a school teacher or are associated with school activities, educate the kids about Left-handers’ Day.If you have any other suggestions, please let us know. We will add it to this list. Also, if you have a local left-handers’ association, tell us about it and we will help you spread the word so that you can attract new members. Finally, send us photos, stories, articles on how you have celebrated Left-handers’ Day and we will publish them here.24. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that Left-handers’ Day____.A. is often celebrated with paradesB. is drawing more and more attentionC. is not known by many peopleD. is seldom mentioned in any newspaper25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How to celebrate Left-hander s’ Day.B. History of Left-handers’ Day.C. Advantages of being left-handed.D. How the date was chosen for Left-handers’ Day.26. To celebrate Left-handers’ Day, you are advised in the passage to____.A. wear a special T-shirt to celebrate the dayB. use your left hand to write cards to left-handersC. hold a party that doesn’t include right-handersD. ask left-handed celebrities to celebrate it in public27. The passage was written mainly to____.A. collect people’s opinions about being left-handedB. introduce left-handed celebritiesC. promote Left-handers’ DayD. encourage left-handed people to live a normal lifeCA jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And whoever doesn’t exist cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital (资本). He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet (车队) of deliveryvehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail.”The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail? ”The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”28. Why can’t the man have the job at Microsoft?A. Because he was lazy.B. Because he didn’t pass the test.C. Because he didn’t have a computer.D. Because he didn’t have an e-mail.29. The underlined word “triple” can be replaced by____.A. become 3 timesB. become largeC. increase quicklyD. decrease quickly30. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The man is one of the biggest food retailers in the world.B. The man didn’t give up though he failed the interview.C. He started his career by selling tomatoes in the supermarket.D. Those who have e-mails can work at Microsoft.31. Which proverb can best describe the story?A. Accidents will happen.B. Business is business.C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.D. No pains, no gains.DWhat should you think about in trying to find your career (职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the otherhand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.32. Which of the following best sums up (总结) the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. The importance of being good at all subjects.C. Using school performance to help to choose a career.D. The indirect value of school work.33. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably____.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. a good way to earn extra moneyC. useful for his future workD. a good way to find out his weak points34. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A. History.B. English.C. Technical Drawing.D. Mathematics.35. The whole passage centers on____.A. developing one’s abilities useful in school workB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one’s strong and weak pointsD. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Yet, I was determinedto go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “ not athletic ”.The idea that I was “ not athletic ” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!T he night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS ! ”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “ marathon winner ”.4. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope5. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A.

A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.CHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important.Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them together and you see a single image in the centre.Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic(立体的) sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and width—can be perceived(感知). So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2-D image, as in a photograph.Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular(双目并用的) sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they don’t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is.With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. Ifyou think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.8.

Stereoscopic sight is a result of having _____________.A. a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sight．B. hundreds of eyes, all seeing tiny parts of an image．C. two eyes close to each other that work together．D. one eye on either side of the head, each seeing a different image．10. Which of the following is true according the passage?A. The function of the camera is complex.B. With stereoscopic sight, humans can see the world in 3-D.C. Humans should realize the importance of eyes.D. Humans and animals have the same sight.11. What can be inferred from the underlined sentences in the last paragraph ?A. Only humans can judge how far it is from other objects.B. It is beneficial for us to wear glasses.C. Humans have better eyesight than animals.D. It is fortunate that humans have stereoscopic sight．DSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film(薄膜) plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited(禁止) in some 90 citiesin California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers’arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground todayThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.12. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Argue for the use of plastic bags.D. Stop things falling off trucks.13. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.14. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
