After wandering in the village throughout the month, in search of true stories, the storyteller couldn't find one. Disappointed, he decided to stop his search.The next day, while sitting in the cottage, he suddenly heard a voice—a woman was yelling(吼叫)at someone. The voice was coming from the big wall behind his cottage.He tried to hear the conversation; it sounded like the woman was abusing(辱骂)her daughterinlaw. The storyteller didn't like it but he was happy to finally get his story.Listening to the conversations each day he added them to his story. Though he couldn't see the characters of his story, he started hating the motherinlaw, as she seemed to be a villain(坏人)．Now it was time to finalize the end of the story. But before he did, the storyteller wanted to see the characters once, so he climbed up the wall.There he saw the motherinlaw sitting in a wheelchair. It seemed she was disabled and that the daughterinlaw was resting nearby.He saw the old lady trying to get some food lying on the table near her chair. But because of her condition, she couldn't reach it and it looked like the daughterinlaw was enjoying the old lady's helplessness. Suddenly the old lady fell from the chair and started abusing her daughterinlaw. The storyteller went back and quickly changed the ending of the story.

The trouble is that we get blinded by our Operating System because our Operating System attempts to fit what’s happening around us into expectations.The purpose of the Human Operating System is to show you as much as possible what matches your Operating System. Anything different is resisted as much as it can be.So your Operating System is always full of flaws （瑕庇）. Every flaw you discover and fix in the Operating System is another leap forward in the quality of your life.The evolution of society comes from the fact that each generation rebels against the previous one. And so each generation discovers a flaw and cause an upgrade in our cultural Operating System. The established order in every field and every area of life will find itself challenged. And over time flaw after flaw will be discovered about what we previously believed to be the fact. This is how life progresses and advances.For example, we upgraded our Operating System when we discovered that the world wasn’t flat…when we realized that sanitation（卫生）reduced disease…Now every day there are hundreds of instances when people are making new discoveries and overturning old beliefs. This is the process of life. Living on the edge and pushing the boundaries and so ever expanding.If you want something that you don’t have, it’s your Operating System that blocks it off to you. This means you have to identify the flaw in your Operating System that blocks you from having what you want. Then you transform the structure of your Operating System to let it in. Opportunities are around you all the time. It is only the fact that you aren’t seeing the opportunities that stops you from getting what you want.Upgrading your Operating System is training it to show you the opportunities all around you. And then life becomes like picking fruit from a tree.64．The author gets his idea across by .A．talking about how to operate computersB．pointing out the common mistakes we makeC．talking about the trouble with Operating SystemD．comparing human brains to Operating System65．According to the author, our society progresses because .A．the young approve of what their ancestors didB．younger generations put the wrong things rightC．computers have updated old Operating SystemD．all the old computers are replaced by new ones66．What does the author mean by saying “we upgraded our Operating System when we discovered that the world wasn’t flat”?A．New discoveries improve our understanding of the world.B．Scientific explorations help human beings make progress.C．We make better computers after we know the world better.D．That the earth proved round was a breakthrough in history.67．Which of the following is wrong about our Operating System?A．The secrets of happiness all exist in our Operating System.B．Our Operating System is seldom full of flawsC．Our Operating System tries to fit what’s happening around us into our expectations.D．The flaw in your Operating System can block you from having what you want.DHealthy eating begins with learning how to “eat smart”.

That at least is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors.China Is Not Happy was released in March. It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, onChina. Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today. They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of outstanding performances. "From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world. Westerners should be second," the book says.The authors, single out the US for special scorn (轻蔑), and say their book's message has been helped by the economic crisis. "This economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, and that what we've been saying is right," said Wang Xiaodong, one of the authors in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.Since being released on March 13, the book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores. The publisher has printed 270,000 copies, and says sales are far better than expected.Yet much of the response to the book has been negative. Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical opinions. The book is a way to "fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism (爱国精神), but there is a limit.Wang Xiaodong admitted in an interview that the book’s title is a bit of a trick. “Those words in the title are just for the purpose of promoting the book in the maretplace,” he says. “We didn’t choose them.72. In the book China Is Not Happy, the authors express their dissatisfaction with _____.A. the influence of Western countries on ChinaB. the relationship in economy between China and Western countries.C. China’s position in the international stage in the world today.D. Westerners’ robbing China of many resources in history73. The book China Can Say No was released in ______.A. 1995B. 1996C. 2008D. 200974. We can infer from the fifth paragraph that ________.A. many Chinese express their radical opinions on the bookB. the youth and the elderly in China arer angry with the bookC. the authors of the book are all reporters and sociologistsD. much of the response to the book is negative75. The publishers chose the title China Is Not Happy for the book because ____.A. they thought it would sell wellB. the authors of the book asked them to do soC. they had the right to name the bookD. they were not happy with the society today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。

When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of whom laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm 31 ."I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very 32 , I will do!"When it was possible, he would spend an hour 33 to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons, 34 himself to be the person in the speech."In the beginning, the chickens looked so 35 , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been 36 by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me 37 . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more 38 and I had a better understanding of the exact 39 of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more.""You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He 40 believed in the old saying：'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not 41 much.'

I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh and gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us---at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. Aunt Fannie was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive (and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.Each August, when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. It was vital that I should be on my best behavior. After all, the woman was old, wealthy, very strict with children. Whenever she was at the house, I didn’t need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my tongue.One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter(25分硬币) and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It h ad obviously worked for her. So, I kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eye Aunt Fannie’s success was due to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.51. Paragraph 2 implies that my mother .A. used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipeB. wanted to show off her excellent cooking skillsC. was unable to make the jam without Aunt Fannie’s directionD. tried to convince Aunt Fannie that she would keep the secret52. According to Paragraph 4, the author believed that Aunt Fanni was rich because .A. she had kept her first quarterB. she had never wasted moneyC. she had worked very hardD. she had kept her promise53. The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we .A. share our wealth with othersB. have good fortune and moneyC. know the secret of a jam recipeD. own lasting love and friendship54. Which would be the best title for this passage？A. An old quarterB. Valuable ThingsC. Blueberry Jam Recipe D . Memories of old timeBWhen Marilynne Robinson published her first novel, Housekeeping, in 1980, she was unknown in the literary world. But an early review in The New York Times ensured that the book would be noticed. “It’s as if, in writing it, she broke through the ordinary human condition with all its dissatisfactions, and achieved a kind of transfiguration（美化）,” wrote Anatole Broyard, with an enthusiasm and amazement that was shared by many critics and readers. The book became a classic, and Robinson was recognized as one of the outstanding American writers of our time. Yet it would be more than twenty years before she wrote another novel.During the period, Robinson devoted herself to writing nonfiction. Her essays and book reviews appeared in Harper’s and The New York Times Book Review, and in 1989 she published Mother Country：Britain, the Welfare State, and Nuclear Pollution, criticizing severely the environmental and public health dangers caused by the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in England—and the political and moral corruption(腐败). In 1998, Robinson published a collection of her critical and theological writings, The Death of Adam：Essays on Modern Thought, which featured reassessments of such figures as Charles Darwin, John Calvin, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Aside from a single short story—“Connie Bronson,” published in The Paris Review in 1986—it wasn’t until 2004 that she returned to fiction with the novel Gilead, which won the NationalBook Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Her third novel, Home, came out this fall.Her novels could be described as celebrations of the human—the characters in them are unforgettable creations. Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her sister Lucille, who are cared for by their eccentric（古怪的）Aunt Sylvie after their mother commits suicide. Robinson writes a lot about how each of the three is changed by their new life together. Gilead is an even more close exploration of personality：the book centres on John Ames, a seventy-seven-year-old pastor(牧师) who is writing an account of his life and his family history to leave to his young son after he dies. Home borrows characters from Gilead but centers on Ames’s friend Reverend Robert Boughton and his troubled son Jack. Robinson returned to the same territory as Gilead because, she said, “after I write a novel or a story, I miss the characters—I feel like losing some close friends.”55. Robinson’s second novel came out ____.A. in 1980B. in 1986C. in 1998D. in 200456. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Robinson’s achievements in fiction.B. Robinson’s achievements in nonfiction.C. Robinson’s influence on the literary world.D. Robinson’s contributions to the environment.57. According to Paragraph 3, who is John Ames?A. He i s Robinson’s close friend.B. He is a character in Gilead.C. He is a figure in The Death of Adam.D. He is a historian writing family stories.58. From which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?A. Career.B. Lifestyle.C. Music.D. Culture.CA towering South American plant that is believed to kill animals with its spikes(尖刺) and use their rotting bodies as fertilizer is about to bloom(开花) in England. A rare Puya chilensis was planted at a greenhouse in Surrey, a county in the southeast of England about 15 years ago. However, despite its frightening description, the tall, spiked plant is considered a threatened species.The Royal Horticultural Society has been feeding the plant a diet of liquid fertilizer. “In its natur al habitat in the Andes it uses its razor sharp spikes to snare and trap sheep and other animals, which slowly starve to death and rot at the base of the plant, providing it with a bag of fertilizer,” reads a description on the RHS website, which adds that the plant gives off a “gruesome scent.”But does the plant actually trap and eat sheep? Other sources have simply said it is “believed” that the plant traps small animals with its spikes. After the animals die of starvation, the plant is "believed" to then use their rotting bodies as fertilizer to feed itself."I'm really pleased that we've finally persuaded our Puya chilensis into producing flower," horticulturalist Cara Smith said in a press release on the RHS site. Regardless of whether it actually traps sheep, the plant does have sharp spikes that can grow up to 12 feet high and 5 feet wide. However, it’s not all death and danger for this plant. Its flowery blooms reportedly provide nectar(花蜜) for bees and birds.The Puya chilensis blooms annually in its native land of Chile, but this is the first time it has done so after more than a decade of cultivation efforts from the RHS. "We keep it well fed with liquid fertilizer as feeding it on its natural diet might prove a bit problematic,” Smith said. "It's growing in the dry section of our glasshouse with its deadly spines well out of reach of both children and sheep alike."59. From the passage we learn that in England the Puya chilensis _____.A. feeds on man-made liquid fertilezerB. often kills sheep and other animalsC. has once bloomed 15 years beforeD. uses animals' rotting bodies as fertilizer60. The underlined word “snare” in the second paragraph probably means“_________”.A. catchB. stopC. fightD. kill61. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. it's dangerous to feed the plantB. it's certain that the plant kills sheepC. it's difficult for the plant to bloom in EnglandD. it's rare for the plant to bloom in South American62. What does the writer mainly tell us?A. A new plant is discovered in Chile.B. How a rare plant is fed in England.C. A rare plant is going to bloom in England.D. How a plant traps animals in South America.DDo people ever consider the pos sibility that, if they’re exposed to increased reports about a social problem, it’s the reporting that has increased rather than the problem? It’s increasingly clear that this is the case with school bullying（欺凌）：Only news reports about it have increased, not the behavior itself. In fact, both bullying and fear of it are down among US middle school studentsThe rate of students who reported fearing an attack or harm at school at all has dropped dramatically, from nearly 12% in 1995 to less than 4% in 2011. For black and Hispanic students, it’s an even more encouraging shift—from more than 20% of both groups of students worried about being attacked at school to less than 5% in 2011.The decline in actual physical violence in schools is even more dramatic：It was down 74% between 1992 and 2010, according to the latest US Department of Justice data.What about cyberbullying? Online harassment increased from 6% in 2000 to 9% in 2005 to 11% in 2010 between, and it’s interesting to note that it increased less between 2005 and ’10 than in the first 5 years tracked. Because social media is very much a reflection of school social life for young people, the peer aggression seen in social media is a lot like the peer aggression seen on school bathroom walls. So once it finds its “dead level,” it will probably decline in the same way verbal and written aggression have.Besides education and crime prevention at the social level, medicine treatment and better access to mental healthcare also contribute to this downward trend in victimization of self and others.The rise of social media is what people don’t typically think of as a positive force in society. But Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire says, “The se technologies might have prevented crime and bullying by providing more ways of help, more forms of social supervision, and interesting activities that destroy forms of alienation(异化) that lead to crime”.63. From the first paragraph we learn that __________.A. school bullying has increased because of increased reportsB. school bullying has decreased because of increased reportsC. the number of reports on school bullying has increasedD. the number of reports on school bullying has decreased64. The underlined word is closest in meaning to "_________".A. crimeB. aggressionC. surfingD. communication65. The cyberbullying is still increasing probably because ________.A. it isn't as easy to control as the other school bullyingB. it hasn't been concerned by the governmentsC. it isn't part of school social lifeD. it hasn't come to its top level66. Finkelhor believes that social media have a ________ influence on the falling trend of school bullying.A. positiveB. negativeC. majorD. slightEThe environmental group has launched a new campaign called Climate Name Change that proposes to revise to how hurricanes are named：call them after policymakers who say that humans are not to blame for global warming.This will save the Katrinas and Sandys of the world from the injustice of having their names attached to major disaster, the group says. And, as a bonus, it will produce some peculiar weather reports.“Rick Perry leaves trail of death,” appears under a broadcast titled “Rick Perry：The Tragedy.”“Michelle Bachman is incredibly dangerous. If you value your life, please seek shelter from Michelle Bachman,” says an official while addressing a news conference.The campaign is unlikely to influence the World Meteorological Organization, which has since 1954 named Atlantic tropical storms from an official list.But the campaign’s goal seems less to actually name a hurricane after the speaker of the house, and more to call attention to an issue that this month has reached an alarming level of seriousness. The campaign comes just a month before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will release its most recent report on the state of global warming and a week after a draft（草稿）of the report was given away to Reuters.In the draft, scientists concluded with near certainty –about 95 percent sure –that humans are to blame for the worldwide temperature hikes over the last few decades. That was a revision from the 2007 report, which put scientific certainty that human activities were driving global climate change at about 90 percent.And global warming, the report said, is not slowing down –it, actually, is accelerating. That means that sea levels could balloon upward as much as three feet by the end of the century, if emissions(排放量) continue at their current pace.Still, as the Washington Post Climate notes, hurricanes are not the best sign of global warming. Though current data suggests that global warming will in the future stir up terrible super storms, there is still not enough evidence to support the idea that climate change strengthens the recent hurricanes that have torn at the US’s eastern coastline.67. It can be inferred that__________ is one of the policymakers who believe that humans are not to blame for globalwarming.A. KatrinaB. Rick PerryC. FlossieD. Sandy68. has launched the campaign with the real purpose of _________________.A. changing the ways of naming hurricanesB. introducing the methods of naming hurricanesC. reminding policymakers to change their attitudesD. calling attention to the coming report on global warming69. The draft of the global warming report tells us that _____________.A. global warming is speeding up at the same rateB. it is human beings that have caused global warmingC. the new report has a more accurate data than the one in 2007D. human beings are not the only one to blame for global warming70. The writer of the passage seems to believe that______________.A. policymakers should be blamed for the global warmingB. the campaign will cause the change of naming hurricanesC. global warming has no necessary relation to terrible hurricanesD. global warming will surely cause terrible super storms in the future第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分50分)第一节：完成句子(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)71.

Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said，“Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible (看不见的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see！”My daughter smiled calmly and said，“We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. Y ou will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”．We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most beautiful sight! There were five acres of flowers！“But who has done this？” I asked Carolyn.“It's just one woman，”Carolyn answered.“That's her home，” Carolyn pointed to a well kept Aframe house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio (平台), we saw a poster.“Answers to the Questions I Know Y ou Are Asking” was the headline. The first answer was a simple one.“50,000 bulbs (鳞茎)，”it read. The second answer was，“One at a time, by one woman.” The third answer was，“Began in 1958.”I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun—one bulb at a time—to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.56．The author didn't go to see the daffodils at first because ________.A. she was not interested in themB. they were growing on the mountain topC. the weather was not good enoughD. it was not easy for her to drive there57．What do we know about the woman living in the Aframe house?A. She must be out of mind.B. She acted as a gardener there.C. It took her great determination to grow the daffodils.D. She was poor and made her living by selling the daffodils.58．What could the author probably learn from this experience?A. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.B. We must put the interests of others above our own.C. We can change the world by growing flowers.D. It's never too late to learn.59．What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable ExperienceB. Beautiful DaffodilsC. One Bulb at a TimeD. I Love DaffodilsBWhy do men live a shorter life than women? The latest research indicates that men’s hearts going into a rapid decline when they reach middle age could be the cause.The research of ageing on the heart has shown that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose much pumping power with age.“We ha ve found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 20 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, Samantha of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells which make it beat. Betw een the ages of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men ,” said Samantha. “This is part of the ageing process.”What amazes scientists is that the female heart suffers very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old w oman’s heart could work almost as perfectly as a 20-year-old one’s.“This gender （性别）difference might give the reason why men live shorter than women,”said Samantha. They studied over 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 17 and 80, who are mainly healthy persons so as to reduce the influence of disease. “The team has yet to th ink about why ageing suffers a greater loss on the male heart,” said Samantha.But there is also good news -- men can enjoy the health of their hearts with regular exercise. Samantha stressed that women should also take regular exercise to stop their leg muscles getting weaker as they age.60. The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph means “________”.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect61. The text mainly talks about ________.A. men’s heart cell sB. women’s ageing processC. the gender differenceD. hearts and long life62. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________.A. men have fewer cells than women when they are bornB. women can produce the cells that make the heart beatC. the female heart suffers less loss of the cells with ageD. women will never suffer the loss of pumping power with age63. If you want to live a long life, you should ________.A. enable your heart to beat much fasterB. think about the reason for ageingC. take regular exercise to keep your heart healthyD. stop your cells from being lostCIreland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the n orth, is part of the united kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work , forced many people to leave Ireland and live in theUSA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish song which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.64. What does the author tell us in paragraph 1?A. How the Irish fought against the English.B. How Ireland gained independence.C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D. How two “Irelands” came into being.65. We learn from the text that in Ireland .A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in populationB. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments66. The last paragraph is mainly about .A. the Irish characterB. Irish cultureC. Irish musical instrumentsD. a famous Irish writer67. What can be the best title for the text?A. Life in IrelandB. A V ery Difficult HistoryC. Ireland, Past and PresentD. The Independence of IrelandDWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering lo udly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week lone.”And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .Y ou agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New Y ork tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the checkimmediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New Y ork next week.”The next week we ended up in New Y ork. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is p erfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.68.Why wa s the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.69.From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. ready to help her motherD. unwilling to phone for her mother70.After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they failed to get the checkC. they went to New Y ork immediatelyD. they spoke to their boss at once71.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It helps her tolerate rude people.72.We can infer from the passage that Chinese English .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in AmericaEI hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New Y ork. There, "I'm having a dinner party" means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat. " Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don't drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to tree the same trick, the hostess will shout:"Where are you going?"And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know shave nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New Y ork, the mix is less striking It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.For New Y orkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New Y ork. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New Y ork people would think it was a usual new club.73. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Choice.B. TryC. Style.D. Goal74. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New Y ork?A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bill is not fairly shared.D. People have to pay cash75. What does the author think of the parties in London?A. A bit unusual.B. Full of tricks.C. Less costly.D. Move interesting.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。

Since I had taught in America for many years, I had no 36 about my ability to hold their attention and to 37 them myadmiration for the literature of my native language.I was 38 when the monitor shouted, “Stand up!” The whole class 39 as I entered the classroom. I was somewhat 40 how I could get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 41 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their 42 -- perhaps even their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow （满面红光）which came from a sense of 43 .All my students 44 diaries. However, as I read their diaries, the rosy glow was gradually 45 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. Her next lecture will 46 be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 47 theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 48 for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t 49 them anything?”After a long term, I gradually learned that my ideas about 50 were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to 51 questions and provide enough background so that students could 52 their own conclusions,while my students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 53 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a great 54 !However, I also learned a lot, and my 55 with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.（）36.

I think it ate the ring up.” He told a newspaper by telephone from his hospital as he recalled his struggle with a man-eating animal.“I took my horse for an evening swim in one of the farm dams. There are lots of crocodiles and hippos （河马）in the area and they move around all the time, from dam to dam and into the river and out again. I was on the lookout for hippos and didn’t see any. I t slipped my mind that there might be-crocodiles,” he said.He was standing in the water about 5 metres away from the shore when he felt a biting jolt（摇动）in his left hip. He thought it was a hippo but quickly realized it was a crocodile.“I started to figh t immediately. I hit the crocodile with my left arm and then it went for my left forearm. It pulled meunder the water for a few seconds. I realized if I didn’t stand up my wife would never find me again. What I didn’t realize at the time was that the crocodile let me go because it had taken part of my left arm off,” said Pieter.With his right arm, Pieter then grabbed the rope of his horse, which took him to safety. He walked 200 metres to his house and his wife took him to the nearest hospital.“I’m lucky I didn’t lose too much blood. The biggest problem with a crocodile bite is that it can be septic （受感染的）. Crocodiles never brush their teeth,” said Pieter. （）56. Which of the following best describes Pieter when he fought with the crocodile?A. Clear-headed.B. Frightened.C. Regretful.D. Thoughtful.（）57. Pieter came across a crocodile when he ________.A. was looking for hipposB. was swimming in the damC. was looking out for dangerD. was struggling in the water（）58. Why did the crocodile leave Pieter?A. It had taken his wedding ring.B. It had got part of his left arm.C. It had been badly hurt.D. It had found manyhippos.BAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit（追求） to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched（发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor（市长） appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plotand character.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.（）59. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.（）60. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgrounds.D. They lacked support from the local government.（）61. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached. （）62. The u nderlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph5 probably mean .A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experienceD. used the same language（）63. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by .A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsCBrave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World（NEW YORK） A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told t he Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation ,was walking with his girlfriend along the pier （码头） when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t rea lize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same th ing.”（）64.

I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备） and truly communicat with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop ,iPads ,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology . There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology . There’s no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas.Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas .I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion .I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good r eason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. （）72.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____A. the course materialB. others’ misuse of technolog yC. discussion topicsD. the author’s class regulations（）73.The underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probablymeans ____A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject（）74.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation（）75.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his class第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times. I’ve al ways complained about the quote(引语) although over time I have told myself to learn from it.This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I haven’t been able to see her and she is having a rough t ime in school. The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks.I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mom that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person. I believe that you can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.56．The author’s parents often told him the saying quoted from the song because.A．He liked to complain to them about his lifeB．They expected him to learn from the singerC．He always wanted to get everything he wantedD．They tried to educate him to do things for himself57．What does the world “killer” underlined in the second paragraph refer to?A．Something that is quite troublesome. B．Something that is very difficult.C．A person who kills purposely. D．A person who treats women very badly. 58．What can we infer from the passage?A．The author was lazy and unwilling to work hard.B．The author’s father was too m ean to give him money.C．The author’s actual action won support from his mother.D．The author was unable to tear himself away from his girl friend.59．By writing the passage, the author tries to show .A．we can do nothing without moneyB．fathers are strict while mothers are kindC．it’s hard for parents to bring up their childrenD．we should try to rely on ourselves for everythingBMore than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday.The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets. It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”.The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth. One in there parents said they had never thought to do it.They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.Only 34 percent strongly agreed that t heir children would be able to handle any inheritance(遗产) they plan to leave them.“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,”said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Global Wealth and Investment Management. “Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”The trend is led by the world’s richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金会), and not to his children.“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said.Of his plans for his children, Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage… they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”60．We can learn from the passage that .A．rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritanceB．rich parents don’t equal rich kids, at least in the USC．American children don’t have to inherit their parents’ wealthD．poor children don’t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents61．According to the survey, most rich Americans .A．think they owe their children nothingB．think it best to give their money back to societyC．doubt their children’s ability to handle wealthD．are confident of their children’s ability to handle wealth62．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to .A．responsible children B．Bill Gates and his wifeC．first-generation rich D．rich parents63．From the last paragraph, we can see that Bill Gates wants to show .A．the trend of leaving no inheritance to childrenB．the positive impact of charity on societyC．the way of giving back to societyD．the importance of independence for childrenCWherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression．Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog．The dog bit all four or Molly’s legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital．Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染).At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep．But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good legs from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt．But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals.A book was even written about Molly!64．Molly is the name of a .A．dog B．horse C．parent D．child 65．Which of the following is true according to the text?A．Molly can speak to people in kind words.B．Kay Harris took Molly to a children’s hospital after the attack.C．In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly’s life.D．Molly sometimes leaves smiling marks on people’s faces.66．What is unique about Molly?A．Molly has a false leg with a horseshoe shaped like a smiling face.B．Molly ran a race and won the first prize.C．Molly often visits places such as schools and parks.D．Molly has become a symbol of hope for people of all ages.67．Which is the best title for the passage?A．A Book on Molly B．A False LegC．A successful Operation D．Leaving her MarkDFor high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learnparticular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习)．In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work．In the Unites States，however，such programs are still few and far between．Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later years．The students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education．In Germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships．German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment．But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world．Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track．Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受阻碍的) kids with no jobs and no skills．Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school．James Madison High School in New York，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses．The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school．However，even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is daunting．In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row．“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，”said Michael，a researcher in the US. 68．In the author’s opinion．American high school leavers__________.A．have enough career-related coursesB．need more career advice from their schoolsC．perform better in exams than German studentsD．can get higher earnings in later years69．According to Robert Schwartz，_________．A．there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USB．students should get contact with the working world at high schoolC．education reform should focus on students’performance in examsD．teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience70．What can be inferred from the text?A．Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment．B. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job．C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment．D．High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely71．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Arguments about recent US education reform．B．Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers．C．The lack of career-based courses in US high schools．D．Advice for American high school leavers．ETalk to yourselfIt may be obvious, but the best way to get better at a language is to speak it. Even if there is no one around to speak to, talk to yourself. Name things as you pass them – chair, television, cat, tree, school. Learn basic phrases like –‘it is cold today’ or ‘it is sunny today’ and use whichever is appropriate when you first look out of the window. This simple language learning tip will help this everyday vocabulary sink in and become second nature.Talk to friendsEven if they don’t speak the language, talk to the people you know in your new language. Warm them in advance that you are practicing your new knowledge and they will know what’s coming. Ev en a simple ‘good morning ’ or ‘see you later’ in your new language will make those phrases more natural to you. Your friends may even start to pick up a few phrases as well. Listen to musicListen to music in your new language. You’ll hear the langua ge used in a real context and this will help you pick out the rhythm and the pronunciation even better. You will also come to further understand and better appreciate the culture behind the language.Make mistakesThe easiest language learning tip to try! Go ahead and speak and write! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, because I guarantee you will! In fact, you will learn as much from your mistake as you will learn from your success. Never let the fear of making any mistakes hold you back. Without making any mistakes, how will you ever to be fluent or even comfortable with the language?Find a language clubWhen you are ready, try to find a language club in your area. Speaking with other people who have already gone through or are still going through the process of learning the language can be extremely helpful. They will give you lots of language learning tips and helpful advice.72. If you want to keep everyday vocabulary in your mind, you’d better _____________.A. try to find a language club in your areaB. talk to yourself and name things as you pass themC. not to be afraid to make mistakesD. listen to music in your new language73.According to the passage , we know ___________A. the more mistakes we make, the more fluent our English might beB.

And I’d be there when they 49 home at lunch for sandwiches and piano practice. I had 50 them grow up.

I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.56.In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to______.A. become serious about her studyB. go to her friend’s house regularlyC. learn from her classmates at schoolD. share poems and stories with her friend57.

Unforgettable ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong FriendshipD. Noble CompanionsBDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, "During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, and honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs."Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too of often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.60. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D.

Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, reveals（透露）how to keep your voice youthful.Drink more fluid and avoid spicy（加香料的）foodYou need water for the vocal cords（声带）to vibrate（振动）well. The body must be kept hydrated（使吸水）enough to make the vocal cords operate well. Drinking 1.5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important. Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate.Rest the throat and talk regularlyThe vocal cords can be scarred if you use your voice during a bad cough. If you have a case of laryngitis （喉炎）with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice.Simply staying sociable and using your voice is very important. "As older people get less mobile, they can become socially isolated and speak less," says Mr. Rubin. "The elderly need to communicate with people more. By using the vocal cords, they enable the ageing process to slow down."Improve your posture（姿势）Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we'd better stand properly. Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone.Sing in the showerThis is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates（使润滑）the voice box. "Singing is gymnastics for the voice," says Mr. Rubin. Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone.64.

Most people have realized the importance of protecting voice.B. It's hard to keep the vocal cords strong through exercise.C. Shouting now and then benefits our vocal cords.D. Singing in the shower is among the best ways to keep our voice youthful.DWhen I received a recent invitation to visit Thailand, I immediately thought of the lovely, helpful elephant in Bangkok. I recalled learning its story from an article entitled "Bangkok's Little Elephant" that I read in one of my primary school textbooks. The article told about a smart elephant that not only dragged a car out of the mud, but also cleaned the vehicle with water it had fetched with its long trunk. From then on, the very mention of Thailand has reminded me of images of elephants.We arrived at Bangkok at 9 p.m. We could find lots of elephant sculptures and other souvenirs featuring the animal -- Thailand's national symbol -- in shops and roadside stalls.The only place I saw real elephants in the Thai capital was at Siam Niramit. In this grand show of Thailand's history and cultural diversity, actors rode two elephants onto the stage. But I didn't have enough time for a picture with them before leaving the theater.It wasn't until two days later that we were able to take a closer look at Thai elephants. During our stay in Chiang Mai in the north, we visited the Measa Elephant Camp, some 20 minutes' drive from the city center. The camp is home to 78 elephants. When we arrived there in early morning, many black elephants, some with creamy white tusks, were enjoying their daily bath in the river.In the Thai Buddhist culture, rare white elephants are believed to be sacred animals. Whenever a white elephant is captured, it must be presented to the king.In the past, elephants served as weapons in north Thailand. Later, elephants were employed to transport logs from the mountains. They started to train the elephants to perform various stunts for tourists.At Measa, we were amazed by the elephants’ stunning skills. They could not only play football, but also paint incredibly wonderful pictures with their trunks.At the end of the Thailand tour, everybody in the group rushed to purchase elephant sculptures, toys, ornaments and T-shirts. I was no exception. The elephant-pendant key chains I bought turned out to be popular gifts for my colleagues.There are many elephant sculptures in Bangkok in that_______.A.
