READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions.Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage OneBike trailers are now becoming a popular mode of transportation. If you are wondering what a bike trailer is, it is a motorless wheeled frame attached to your bicycle. Its primary function is to help the bike rider in carrying additional load．Instead of carrying the load on the bike, it can now be carried on the bike trailer which greatly reduces the strain placed on the bike. It is convenient, easy to use and it helps you live an active lifestyle.Bike trailers are an alternative to carrying different sorts of loads. Instead of using your car to go to the nearby grocery store perhaps, why not use your bike trailer? It not only saves you money from the gas which should have been spent by your car, it also does the job of carrying your groceries.Planning to get a bike trailer? Make sure to decide on what you are going to use it for first. Different bike trailers are made for different uses. There are a variety of bike trailers being commercially manufactured．The general trailers available in the market today are the general cargo trailer which is used to carry different sorts of loads from groceries to furniture, child passenger trailer which is used to carry a child, pet trailer which is used to carry cats or dogs, and canoe trailers which are used to carry long and narrow loads like canoes and surfboards.If you want a trailer to carry cargo all around, then a cargo trailer would definitely suit your needs. If you want to take your child along with you while you ride your bike, then check out the different child trailers available in the market.There are two types of bike trailers in the market today based on the number of wheels. The first is the single wheel trailer which can carry light to medium loads. It is popular among hikers since it is great for trail riding and narrow surfaces. It is also stable when making sharp turns at high speeds. The other type of trailer is the two-wheel trailer which obviously has two wheels. It can carry heavier loads than the single wheel type. When making sharp turns at high speeds it may roll over, so be sure to slow down before making the turns.Caring for your bike trailer is easy and comparable to that of a bike. Cleaning the trailer requires water, soap and wax. Regularly check the tires for abnormalities like low air pressure or wear and tear for this may cause accidents.When you are out riding in your bike trailer, keep in mind that it is different from riding a bike. The responses are different. You may notice that your bike may be a bit unresponsive due to the extra load．Be sure to take trial runs in non-busy roads to get you acquainted with the newriding conditions.Riding at night is more dangerous than riding during the daytime. Make sure that you have a front light and a rear light and that both are switched on. Be sure also to have front, back and side reflectors so that you would always be visible to traffic．41. The passage mentions all the following aspects about a bike trailer EXCEPT ______.A．its maintenance B．its priceC．its definition D．its uses42. Which of the following is an advantage of a bike trailer over a car?A．It can help reduce the weight on your riding.B．You don’t have to check the tires regularly.C．You don’t have to spend money on gas.D．It can carry groceries for you.43. A two-wheel trailer should be a better choice than a single wheel trailer when ______.A．you carry heavy loadsB．you ride on a narrow surfaceC．your additional load is not heavyD．you make a sharp turn at high speed44. Which of the following is a difference between riding in a bike trailer and riding a bike?A．You need to check the tires regularly for a bike trailer.B．It is easier to ride in a trailer than riding a bike.C．A trailer requires water and wax for cleaning.D．A trailer cannot react as quickly as a bike.45. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To provide information about bike trailers.B．To advertise for a new mode of transportation.C．To arouse your interest in more active lifestyle.D．To advise you to be careful when riding in a bike trailer.Passage 2Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother over in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag; it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and, over the months, he had grown to hate them.Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; they enjoyed game-playing, and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough—but then there was all the moaning afterwards. “The usual people say the usual things.” “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.” “I was thinking of making a suggestion—but I couldn’t be bothered.”As this morning’s meeting began, Martin braced himself for the usual moroseness (闷闷不乐) and monotony. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London—he had had to sit over the wing and the noise was terrible. But, as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.He realized—to his amazement—that he could hear what his colleagues were thinking as well as what they were saying. As he concentrated still harder, he found that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be unpopular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions, based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying …?” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” He was aware that his colleagues were unsettled by how insightful these interventions were. They looked at him mystified．In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly-acquired talent.Given more confidence now, Martin forgot his usual misery at participating in such meetings and began making comments of his own. However, he became aware that some of his colleagues were looking at him totally confused．One or two even had a gentle smile playing on their lips. Only gradually did it dawn on them—he could hear their thoughts and they were not really saying what they were thinking.As the meeting progressed, Martin became aware of changes to the tone and style of the event. It was clear to him now that, one by one, each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of all the others and this was subtly changing how they interacted with one another. The game-playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.The meeting ended．As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.”“All meetings should be like that.” “In future, I’m going to say what I think.”46. Why did Martin hate the team meetings?A．His colleagues were making stories.B．His colleagues complained too much.C．His colleagues pretended to be friendly.D．His colleagues held back their true feelings.47. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to “braced himself for” in Paragraph 3 ?A．prepared himself for B．adapted himself toC．concemed himself about D．persuaded himself into48. With the strange power of being able to hear what others were thinking and saying, Martinrealized that______.A．he had been cheatedB．he was lucky to know the truthC．people didn’t mean what they saidD．people were unwilling to work there49. Which of the following can be expected at future team meetings?A．Everyone will be cooperative. B．Everyone will be straightforward．C．Everyone will be respectful. D．Everyone will be considerate.50. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．A Mysterious Power B．A Meeting of MindsC．Trust Means All D．Unity Is Success非选择题部分注意事项：用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能答在试题卷上。

Scientists have identified a "sleepless elite"- a small group of people for whom staying in bed longer is a waste of time.Rather than being tired and bad-tempered losers, they are an energetic, outgoing and optimistic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four or five hours of sleep a night. And, they tend to be slim, able to hold down two jobs at the same time, and handle their extra-long days easily without needing coffee or catnaps (小睡).Working out how the gene (基因) cuts sleep without any obvious impact on health could help in the design of drags that give us all a few extra hours in our day. The bad news is that while many of us get by on a few hours' sleep a night, just one to three people in 100 qualify to be part of the sleepless elite.The research team is now calling for members of the lucky group to come forward to allow their DNA to be studied. Harvard University researcher Dr. Christopher Jones said: "My long-term goal is to learn enough someday so we can control the sleep mechanism without damaging our health. Everybody can use more waking hours, even if you just watch movies."Many of those who have already volunteered share fascinating characteristics. They are cheerful, thinner than average, and seem to have a high tolerance for physical pain and psychological setbacks.Dr. Christopher Jones told the New York Times: "Typically, at the end of along phone interview, they will admit they have been sending short text message sand surfing the Internet and doing word games at the same time, all on less than six hours of sleep."21. According to the passage, the sleepless elite（C）A. perform less well than othersB. regard sleep as a waste of timeC. are energetic despite less sleepD. are likely to make others angry22. Researchers study the sleepless elite to（B）A. develop the mechanism of sleepB. invent a healthy way to cut sleepC. find the impact of sleep on healthD. design drags for sleepless people23. The phrase "come forward" (para. 4) is closest in meaning to（D）A. decideB. donateC. contributeD. volunteer24. According to Dr. Jones, it is typical of the sleepless elite to（C）A. sleep at least six hours a nightB. watch more movies than othersC. do more than one thing at a timeD. do word games better than others25. The passage is mainly about（D）A. a disease which is related to genesB. a new drag that cures sleeplessnessC. recent studies on sleepless patientsD. people who do well with less sleepPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.There are a couple of things to know about the use of humor in a speech. One thing is to distinguish healthy and unhealthy humor. Unhealthy humor usually has a victim. It is based on differences. Healthy humor is taken from our everyday experiences and is based on the things people have in common. Therefore it unites them.Another thing is that when sharing humor with the audience a speaker has to take into account what part of the day it is. The "morning" audience can be tough, because everyone is just getting into work; the "lunch" audience is better, but the best time for sharing humor is dinner-time, because people relax after their working day and are more likely to feel the speaker.There are certain rules that are strongly advised to be followed. The primary rule is not to offend anybody by a joke. The jokes are not supposed to relate to the audience but to the speaker himself. When a speaker shares his personal stories he will be better accepted by the audience. He can kid about his fame, problems,image, etc. However, he does not have to belittle himself or sacrifice his reputation for a laugh. Besides, the jokes and humorous stories that are used by the speaker have to relate directly to the topic of his speech. The speaker is supposed to speak clearly and keep from laughing at his own story or joke while telling it, so that he can make it clear and to the point. Finally, once a joke is said it may not be repeated once more. So the speaker must not repeat a joke that fails or one that works.And, remember these tips always work: personal jokes, short remarks that go well with the speech, good choice of vivid words and appropriate body gestures.26. Healthy humor differs from unhealthy humor in that it is BA. intended to enrich one's experiencesB. linked to the things that people shareC. used most frequently to unite victimsD. based mostly on the differences in life27. The writer thinks that a joke works best with an audience who is AA. relaxedB. toughC. hungryD. busy28. To connect closely with the audience, the speaker is advised to BA. repeat a good jokeB. joke about himselfC. laugh at his storiesD. improve his image29. According to paragraph 3, a joke should support DA. the nature of an issueB. the fame of a speakerC. the taste of an audienceD. the subject of a speech30. One of the tips the writer gives for a successful speech is CA. dramatic gesturesB. proper eye contactC. vivid expressionsD. good time controlPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Are passwords ont-of-date? It is starting to seem like it. Everybody hates them. These days a typical Intemet user has dozens of online accounts. If you really want to be safe, you need to generate a different password for each one, and each password needs to be extremely complicated, with a mix of letters, symbols, and numbers. Who can keep all that stuff in their head?Most people do not bother. Some just create one password and use it everywhere. Othersmight have a few passwords - one for all their banking and financial stuff, one for their social networks, one for email accounts. Problem is that if one site gets hacked, the bad guys now have the password you use elsewhere. These attacks are happening so frequently these days that you might as well assume there is no way to keep a password secret.Computer scientists realize the system is broken, and they are looking for alternatives. But most attempts have not been very good. Fingerprint readers require special hardware, and many people find them scary and don't want to use them. Smart cards can be lost or stolen. Scientists have tried all sorts of other approaches, but they end up back with passwords. They are the least worst in a series of bad choices.Markus Jakobsson, a researcher in computer science, has produced something he calls "fastwords." Instead of inventing a password, you join three simple words that come from a thought known only to you. If one day you were driving to work and ran over a frog that ended up flat, you might choose "frog work flat." You can enter the three words in any order, and the system still knows that you are you. If your mind goes totally blank, the fastwords system will tell you one of the three words, which should enable you to remember the original thought and thus the three keywords.The fastwords system represents a step in the right direction, but it is not the promised land. Someone, somehow, needs to come up with something radically different- and radically better - than what we have today.31. Today people find passwords CA. difficult to createB. easy to figure outC. hard to rememberD. apt to be replaced32. We learn from paragraph 2 that many people use passwords AA. without due cautionB. in a rational mannerC. with frequent changesD. in simple combinations33. Compared with passwords, other alternatives are even more CA. complexB. confusingC. troublesomeD. expensive34. One unique advantage of fastwords is that they can be used DA. with greater speedB. with more certaintyC. with greater securityD. with more flexibility35. The writer seems to think that fastwords AA. offer a hopefu'l inspirationB. are as simple as passwordsC. offer a decisive resolutionD. are as safe as passwordsIV. Word Spelling (10 points, 1 point for two words)36. 不同的 a. various 37. 肌肉n. m udcle38. 传统n. t radition39. 幸运的ad. f ortunately40. 影响vt. a ffect 41. 边缘n. e dge42. 怀疑的 a. d oubtful 43. 减少vt. r educe44. 集合vt. a ssemble 45. 逐步的 a. g radual46. 可行的 a. f easible.. 47. 污染n. p ollution48. 方便的 a. c onvenient 49. 拉长v. s tretch50. 维生素n. v itamin 51. 经受vt. w ithstand52. 五十num. f inance 53. 财政n. f inance54. 发源vi. o riginate 55. 两倍ad. t wiceV.

V.5 2 1 6 3 4Ⅵ.有些人认为阅读就是为了寻找信息，通过记忆文章中的表达来获取知识。
既然只有专家学者才应该具备批判性阅读的能力，或者说只有在学术机构才需要培养批判性阅读能力，那么我们普通人就没有必要培养这种能力了。
对于这种观点你是否同意？请给出理由，并举例证明。

但是后来我明白了，做一件事情失败并不是做所有事情都失败。
实际上，失败是成长路上不可或缺的组成部分。
生活中到处都要反复尝试。
为了走上成功之路，一路上你可能会拐错弯。
借用约翰·麦斯威尔的话说，我所明白的就是“从失败中吸取教训”，也就是利用每次失误来完善自我。
对于失败，人们面临的最大问题之一就是，过早地对生活中彼此孤立的事情做出评判，认为那些就是失败。
相反，他们需要考虑得更全面一些。
成功的棒球运动员不会把一次出局看作是失败，而是从全局出发来考虑。
他的这种观点让他能够坚持到底，坚持带来了长远，长远使他有机会成功。
V．2 1 4 3 6 5Ⅵ．正如谚语所说的那样，“失败乃成功之母”。
有些人坚信做任何事情都会失败。
亨利·福特说过一句名言，“我不犯错误；我从中受益匪浅。
”失败教会我们什么呢？如何从失败中吸取经验教训，最后获得成功呢？请陈述理由，举例证明你的观点。

首先，成功人士失败的时候不会自责，而是勇于承担责任，但是他们不必本人亲自接受失败。
第二，成功人士不会因为个人的失败而对自己妄下评论，因为他们意识到每次失败只不过是整个事件中的一小部分而已。
第三，成功人士喜欢根据不同的问题，而采取不同的方法，这一点对于每个行业来说都是很重要的。
如果一种方法不奏效，你一次又一次失败，那么就要尝试下别的方法了。
要想转败为胜，就必须采取对自己有效的方法，当然了这种方法不一定对别人有效。
最后一点，成功人士能屈能伸，不会因为一次失误而一蹶不振，而是从中吸取教训，继续前进。
