Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night. It’s a story about Jennings, a boy living in various orphanages（孤儿院）with only his stuffed animal（毛绒玩具）, Doggie, for companionship.

No matter what you answer, you are partially right.A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.46. This passage mainly talks about research conducted by ___________.A. Gallup PollB. “Personality and social Psychology Review”C. Campbell Leaper and Melanie AyresD. The author47. According to the passage which statement is true?A. Women are born to be good at conversation.B. Women are more talkative than men.C. Women are more talkative than men when they converse with their close friends.D.

Men are born more talkative than womenC. Women and men are talkative in different cases.D. Women are no more talkative than men.49. The underlined word “gender” in Paragraph 1 means ________.A. peopleB. nationalityC. cultureD. sex50. Talking with strangers, _____________.A. women are more talkative than with people they knowB. men are more talkative than with their wivesC. women prefer to listen more rather than speak moreD. men speak a lot to have their opinions acceptedBLocal businessmen are increasingly facing competition from on line retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues, which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it online,” he said.According to the state comptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “You have a larger selection and it’s easier to compare prices.”Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping online.“Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping online I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping online saved me from having to buy from Dell.”Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.“I’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information online no matter how safe the site claims it is.51. Larry Pollock has been facing the problem __________.A. before longB. after the InternetC. since there were mail-order cataloguesD. since he worked as a businessman52. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?A. Traditional business can provide valuable services to customersB. People can get cheaper goods from traditional businessC. More and more people will turn to the Internet for their needsD. There are still many people who don’t like on-line shopping53. More people like online shopping because _________.A. the consumers can easily compare a variety of goods on lineB. it’s easy for consumers to get what they wantC. it’s cheaper to buy what they need from on-line retailersD. all above54. Mitch Wilson prefers to build his personal computer by shopping on line because _________.A. he can easily get what he needs at a lower priceB. he can not get the price at traditional businessmanC. he is not satisfied with the service of local businessmanD. the quality of Dell is not satisfying55. Why doesn’t Jenny Brazeal like to buy things on line?A. She is not sure about the quality of the goods on lineB. She doesn’t like to give her personal information to othersC. She can’t use the computerD. She doesn’t know what she is going to buyCKincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much ofthe time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”He didn’t stay in touch.

Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England. One had only to go to one of the important 16 to see this.

In England, it is believed that 29 is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the 30 ; it also means character training; and one of the 31 ways of training character is by means of games, 32 team games, where the boy has to learn to 33 with others for his team, instead of working just for himself alone.

ALearning English is one of the few things I have been doing consistently over the past 16 years. Like most Chinese students, I started learning English because it was a compulsory (必修的) course in my middle school. More importantly, English was a central subject for the college entrance exam.At that time, studying English was not a pleasant experience for me. There was no fun in the process of learning. The focus of our English education was getting a good mark in exams. And nobody told me that the real meaning of studying mother language was communication.When I became a university student, I spent nearly half of my time on English. In fact , more than 90 percent of the job offer ads in Shanghai list proficiency (精通) as a main requirement.How did I improve my English? People told me that TOEFL was very helpful and useful. As a result, I took a TOEFL training course and studied like mad. After six months’ preparation, I took part in the exam and got a high score. Later on, I had a chance to further my study in Britain. I soon discovered that all of my past English learning had been futile (没用的) . When I first went shopping in a local supermarket, I really could not understand what the cashier was saying at all.It was then that I realized I had totally missed the point. Instead of just passing exams, the main function of learning English or any other language is communication. What is more, language does not exist independent of culture. Hence, mechanical memorization helps very little in communication. Th at’s why I was still unable to freely express myself after learning English for many years. By no means am I talented in any foreign language. I am still learning English. Why?First and foremost, my job requires me to use English everyday. Secondly, English helps me to have access to more information. Thirdly, as a bookworm, English gives me a chance to dive into the huge pool of inspiring English books. Last but not least, it is such a great experience to write in another language. Indeed, English has become part of my life.36. How did the writer find English when he was a student?A.He was interested in it .B.He studied it because it was compulsory course.C.He thought it funny to study English.D.He often recited something when he studied English.37.What is the purpose of studying English according to the writer’s idea?A.To get high marks in exams.B.To prove that English is very important.C.Studying English well can help you get a good job.D.To use English for communication with others.38.According to the text, how is my English ?A .I am good at English.B .I can speak English like natives.C .I can master it but I can’t use it correctly.D .I continued to study English.39.How can we master English well ？A.We need more mechanical memorization.B.We should read and recite more books.C.We should study English as well as its culture and use it more.D.We can study hard in classrooms and houses and get high marks in exams.BHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy .After all ,you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy .However ,they sing most of the time for a very different reason .Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is ?A territory is an area that an animal ,usually the male,claims（声称）as its own .Only he and his family are welcome there .No other families of the same species（物种）are welcome .Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome . If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you ,you might shout .Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so ,you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him .A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time ,especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time ,whether he can see an outsider or not .This screaming is what we call a bird’s song ,and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language all their own .Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.40．Some scientists believe that most of the time birds’ singing is actually.A．an expression of happiness B．a way of warningC．an expression of anger D．a way of greeting41．What is a bird’s “territory”?A．A place where families of other species are not accepted.B．A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C．An area for which birds fight against each other.D．An area which a bird considers to be its own .42．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A．Because they want to invite more friends.B．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C．Because they want to find outsiders around.D．Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.43．How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A．By comparing birds with human beings. B．By reporting experiment results.C．By describing birds’ daily life. D．By telling a bird’s story.CSomething in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatments. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful（有害的）it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge ste p forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.Ten healthy volunteers（志愿者）were given theobromine, codeine or a placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicines are stopping coughs.The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they needed only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with theplacebo.The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity（神经活动），which causes coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.44. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine .A. cannot be as effective as codeineB. can be harmful to people’s healthC. cannot be separated from chocolateD. can be a more effective cure for coughs45. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?A. Theobromine.B. Codeine.C. Capsaicin.D. Placebo.46. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment .A. were patients with bad coughsB. were divided into three groupsC. received standard treatmentsD. suffered little side effects.47. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Codeine: A New MedicineB. Chocolate May Cure CoughsC. Cough Treatment: A Hard CaseD. Theobromine Can Cause CoughsD48. From the second paragraph we can infer that the boy is ______ in some subjects.A. mind-blowingB. slow-wittedC. fun-lovingD. badly-behaved49. What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time?A. D-.B.C. C. B+.D.E.50. The underlined word “tucked” in the passage most probably means “________”.A. stuckB. listedC. hidD. copied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。
