Wicked! Note the intonation(语调). It means “wonderful”, “great”, “cool”, “splendid”. It came into English from United States’ slang in the 1980s or maybe earlier. Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s.It was part of a trend which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good concepts, or the other way round. I mean you might remembe r saying, “ That’s great” meaning “ It isn’t great”. And always there’s been this use of the word “naughty” to mean “nice”. So it’s part to a general trend.It’s mainly used as an adjective in front of a noun, for example “ We had a wicked time!” Or, of course, you can use it on its own by just saying “ Wicked!” as a reaction ― that’s how youngsters use it. And youngsters, of course, knowing that grown-ups are now using it as well, have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of way ― I’ve heard young people in recent years use words like “ evil” meaning “good”, or “brutal” meaning “good”.“Wicked” is still around. This means, of course, that the traditional sense of “wicked” is now being squeezed out. So with "wicked", tone of voice is the on ly way to tell the old meaning from the new meaning, and even that’s ambiguous(含糊不清的) sometimes, so you have to be careful, and pay very careful attention to the context.And notice that the word is extending its use. The other day, for the first time,I heard somebody say “wicked cool”, meaning “very cool”.21. What does the text mainly tell readers?A.The changing meaning of English words.B.The change of the word ”wicked” in meaning.C.The way to use English words.D.English words from American slang.22. Th e author tells readers to pay attention to the intonation of the word “wicked”because_____.A.the word is easy to misunderstandB.there is another word with the same pronunciationC.its intonation decides its meaningD.there are many meanings of the word23. According to the text, which of the following words is often used to express itsopposite meaning?A. Cool.B. Wonderful.C. Splendid.D. Evil.24. According to the text, we know that the word “wicked”_____.A.has been used in Britain for more than 20 yearsB.is only used in front of a nounC.has lost its old meaningD.was first used by American childrenBI had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people makea bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated（主持）at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased（已故）woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault tha t she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It’s my fault.”When things don't turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume（假设）that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty(内疚). Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping Mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense—there is a reason for everything that happens.The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby es to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone es to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not pletely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.25. What is true about the two deceased elderly women?A．They both died of old age.B．They died from hard work.D．They died due to the fact that family members didn’t care about them. 26. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _____.A．they cannot find a better way to express their sadnessB．they believe that they are responsible for what has happenedC．they don't know the natural course of eventsD．they don't know things often turn out in the opposite direction 27. The underlined part“the world makes sense”in Paragraph 3 probably means that _____.A．everything in the world is planned in advanceB．the world can be understood in different waysC．there's an explanation for everything in the worldD．we have to be wise in order to understand the world28. People have believed since early childhood that ______.A．everybody is at their mandB．life and death is an unsolved mysteryC．every story should have a happy endingD．their wishes are the cause of everything that happensCEfficiency(效率)and productivity are the key factors in the workplace．Being noticed is essential for the employee to progress．What if you are shy? People often make assumptions that being shy means you can't plete a job as well as others and this can seriously hold you back．A shy person is likely to be the one who works hard and struggles for a quiet life rather than being put in an awkward（令人不舒服的）situation．Unfortunately it means that you may be the one who misses a promotion（晋升）．Being shy means your boss is less likely to remember you despite your ability．You end up with the "reliable" one who will not pete with others．munication is essential and while you may be a good listener it is important to make your voice heard．Shy people may have a lot of thoughts, but keeping their ideas to themselves is only to punish themselves when someone else receives praise for the same idea．Bosses may assume that you haven't the ability to think of ideas despite the fact that you have plenty but feel afraid to say them．If deals have to be made, your boss may think you won't be able to win over customers．If you are unsure of carrying out a task and afraid of being laughed at, you will feel depressed．This could cause you not to plete the task effectively enough, Askingfor help will ease the pressure．Being shy can lead to missing a promotion and pay increase because you are afraid to ask．It could be the opportunity for the pany to provide extra training for you．If you don't ask you will miss out on greater expertise（专业知识）．Find strategies（策略）to overe your fears．The challenges may be something such as being the first one to speak to a colleague．The sense of achievement will be inspiring．Later on it could be suggesting at least one idea the next time there is a meeting．If you feel you have serious problems with shyness then try confidence training to help you．Making that decision to try could change your life．29. According to the passage, a shy person______．A．often has low efficiency at workB．will feel embarrassed in the workplaceC．will not be regarded as abler than othersD．will be regarded as the most reliable employee30. What can we infer from the passage?A．People often look down upon a shy person．B．Shyness will prevent our career advancement．C．Bosses will never give important tasks to a shy person．D．A shy person will not ask for help when meeting difficulties．31. To overe our shyness at work, we can ______．① greet our colleagues actively②declare what we're good at to everyone③get trained to increase our self-confidence④put forward at least one idea during a meetingA．①③④ B．①②④ C．①②③ D．②③④32. What's the best title for the passage?A．How to overe shyness? B．The character of a shy personC．The effects of being shy on people D．Disadvantages of being shy at workDMicro-blogging is popular just about everywhere in the world, including China. Recently Yao Chen became the first micro-blogger in China to reach 9 million followers, on Sina’s Weibo. She is catching up with singer Justin Bieber (10 million followers) and Lady Gaga (11 million followers) on Twitter.It would seem our interest in celebrities is endless. Worse yet, not only do we admire entertainers and athletes, we model our behavior on them, by sending out our own micro messages. We think that we, too, are celebrities, self-indulgently (放任自我地) posting our daily activities and thoughts. It’s as if our every word is gold.But in fact, we don’t really think about what we are posting. Even the tweets(博客留言) and micro messages of celebrities are rather shallow (浅薄的).So why do we feel so good when we send out these short munications?Researchers at Princeton and Harvard Universities have found that short activities make us feel powerful and creative.Speedy activities give us a happy feeling. So we keep on sending out our micro messages, regardless of the content and finally send out messages or photos that we regret.Let’s look at an example. The NBA basketball “King”, “King James” LeBron started tweeting in July of xx, just before announcing that he would join the Miami Heat. He proudly tweeted for almost a year, bragging (吹嘘) how he would help the Heat win the championship. Me, me, me, I am the best. But he and his team fell short. In this case, LeBron James has gone too far in “sharing”. He has forgotten what it means to have dignity (尊严) and purpose in his personal and public lives.The Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote: “The body is a house of many windows. There we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-byto e and love us.”Yes, everyone wants to be loved. But keeping our private lives private is a good thing. We don’t need fans to find meaning in our lives.33. The author mentions Yao Chen in Paragraph 2 in order to ______.A. show that Chinese celebrities can pete with international onesB. stress the influence of celebrities on micro-bloggingC. encourage more people to take up micro-bloggingD. question the popularity of celebrity micro-blogging34. According to the article, micro-blogging is popular because it ______.A. lets people ment freely on other’s micro-blogsB. helps people share their daily activities and thoughtsC. makes people feel like celebrities themselvesD. helps people get in touch with their favorite celebrities35. LeBron James is used to show that ______.A. we should consider carefully what we post in micro-blogsB. athletes need not share their feelings with their fansC. everyone wants to get attention and be lovedD. people need clearly to separate their private and public lives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。

In order to be admitted into a good university, most of us study extremely hard. The classes begin at 9 o’clock every morning and end at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. In some less developed areas, the students have to go to school in the evening. We study several subjects,such as Chinese, maths, English and geography. Our after-school activities are various. For instance, we play football, basketball and table tennis. I am keen on playing badminton, because it helps me to feel relaxed and fit after a day of hard study.All in all, my high school life is both stressful and fulfilling.

AAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected (影响) in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everythingin shades of green － a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors.

Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets in many places.Where I live, there has been a law in place since October 1, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness(知觉). When he was just awakening, a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan showed that he had a concussion (脑震荡). That evening, while my dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when my dad and I go out cycling, the wearingof our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.5. In the writer’s opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets?A. Because a law requires them to do so.B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.C.

From the accident that happened to the writer’s dad, we can infer that ___________.A. the cyclists should follow the lawB. his dad was not worried about this accidentC. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmetsD. everyone should care about lifeCMost people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry(产业)there is called “Bollywood”. Each year, Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood.The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. Because Bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. Masala is an Indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(调味品).Another big difference is the way the movies are made. It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本) is finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made.Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it.Bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time. They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戏装) and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps to keep the cost(成本) of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.8. What is Not True about Mumbai?A. It is the movie capital of India.B. The new name is Bombay.C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.D. It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.9. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?A. They have spicy stories.B.

It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or oxwhose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today --- a person who is new in a job.About 100 years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east. The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression es from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello."It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someonehas something that he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead.A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on.
