AThe Harvard Pre-college Program is a nice experience for high school students．Alongside peers(同辈)from around the world，you’ll be introduced to college life as you attend classes，live on camps，and enjoy fun outings and activities.◆Learning without limitsBiology，physics，law，writing and philosophy—these are just a few of the 30-plus courses you can choose from in each session．In our noncredit classes，we set aside grades so that you can fully commit to your growth as a well-rounded student．Class sizes typically range from 14 to 18 students to encourage interactive learning．◆Living at HarvardWhen you attend the Pre-College Program，you’11 live in a historic undergraduate house，near Harvard Square．You will be with your fellow Pre-College students，resident directors，and proctors who provide support．You’ll also enjoy meals in one of Harvard’s dining halls，which are a short walk from Harvard Yard and provide many options for a variety of dietary needs．◆Thriving outside the classroomThe summer Pre-College Program offers many mentally challenging co-curricular(补充课程的)activities beyond the classroom．With faculty and Harvard-affiliated experts，you will have the opportunity to participate in workshops on topics like the psychology of color-blindness，classic literature from around the world and science of happiness．From our Cambridge scavenger hunt to a trip the Sand Sculpting Festival at America’s first public beach，there’s no shortage of fun activities in the Pre-College Program．21．What do We know about the 30-plus courses?A．You can only choose five of them． B．They provide credits for students．C．You should set aside other subjects． D．They assist your full development．22．Where can you enjoy meals during the programme?A．Near Harvard Square． B．Close to Harvard YardC．In one of the workshops． D．In an undergraduate house．23．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To advertise meals． B．To comment on an activity．C．To introduce a program． D．to recommend courses．BI used to live in Southern Africa and recently went back to Botswana to visit the Central Kalahari Game Reserve with my friend Oscar. Why? Because there's nothing quite like the vast African wilderness...Our jeep moved slowly along the too-hot-to-touch sand．With no air conditioner and an engine which might break down at any time， it was tough work．The dry heat was fierce and the only break came from using our precious water for brief bucket showers．With no supplies available within the park—it was a sort of no man's land which was inhabited by the occasional cow —it is necessary to bring all your fuel， food and water with you．We camped in a small place in the center of the woods． At the height of the dry season，leaves in the trees had all fallen down， shade was in scant supply， so we placed ourselves near a leaf less tree． As the sun set， we drove towards the watering hole a few miles away， and were reminded just why we'd chosen to spend weeks suffering this exercise on ourselves． A lone lion paused his lapping to acknowledge（致意） our arrival． He yawned，and then carried on drinking．That night， sleeping on the roof of the jeep， we felt his shouting as much as heard it ． Those vast African skies offered the only indication that the outside world hadn't come to a state of quietness，as bright satellite whipped across the blackness．In the morning we saw that the lion had walked in the road overnight，his paw prints pressed into yesterday's tyre tracks．We set off for another morning inching through the sand; another day of changing landscapes and raw，wild beauty; another night lit by shooting stars．24. What can we learn about the author?A. He slept in a hotel at night．B. He is now living in Botswana．C. He enjoys the wildness of nature．D. He didn't take enough food and water．25. What did they think of their journey?A. Amazing and hard．B. Terrible and annoying．C. Comfortable and safe．D. Pleasant and easy．26. What does the underlined word “scant” in paragraph 4 mean?A. shortB. unbendingC. richD. ready27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Shining Stars and A Lone LionB. Travelling in the Southern AfricaC. My Great Escape into the WildD. Camping in Too-Hot-to-Touch SandCGrowing up, I was an extremely reserved(腼腆的) boy. I didn't have many friends in primary and middle school and rarely opened up to anyone. I didn't even ask my teacher questions in class. I was scared of the world and the people around.As a child, I was scared to do anything without my parents mainly because I was afraid that I would do it badly. I was getting good grades and was well-behaved, but I wasn't happy. It was my belief that I was, for some reason, unable to do the things the others kids could do. I felt inadequate.While in my second semester of college, I ran into some information on the Internet about something called social anxiety. I didn't really know much of the disorder. Thus I began to read about some of the symptoms(症状) and realized that social anxiety was the thing that hurt me so much.It is common knowledge that people with social anxiety experience nervousness in social situations. What a lot of people don't know is that one of the main causes of social anxiety is negative thinking. People having a negative idea of themselves often think that they are ugly or stupid.I realized what I was truly afraid of: not being good enough. I was afraid that people would look at me and would not like what they saw; I was scared of rejection（拒绝）. To help deal with these problems, I began to practice meditation(沉思) and other mindfulness exercises. My mind slowly began to change.I realized that everyone, from star athletes to noble prize winners, experiences fear in their lives. Whether people are afraid of heights, planes, spiders, or talking to girls, we all experience anxiety and fear. There is no reason for anyone to feel excluded(排除在外的) because something scares them. People with anxiety disorders might have "problems", but there is nothing wrong with them as people. They are just as humans as everyone else.28. What do we know about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. He was poor at his subjects.B. He grew up in an awful environment.C. He was shy and lacked confidence.D. He did not show respect for his teachers.29. What are the characteristics of people with social anxiety?A. They want to have high social status in society.B. They desire to get more with less effort.C. They talk a lot about themselves in public.D. They often believe that others are better than them.30. How did the author recover from his social anxiety?A. He did a lot of exercise.B. He adjusted his way of thinking.C. He sought help from his professors.D. He surrounded himself with something positive.31. What is the writer' s attitude towards people with anxiety?A. He believes that they should overcome it together.B. He argues that people treat them equally.C. He insists that they be given some help.D. He thinks people should sympathize（同情）with them.DA man in London has become the second known HIV-positive adult to be cleared of the virus that causes the disease AIDS. The man received a stem cell transplant（干细胞移植）three years ago. He was treated with anti-retroviral (抗逆转录病毒) drugs until about 18 months ago. Now, tests show he has no sign of the HIV virus in his blood.“There is no virus there that we can measure. We can’t detect(检测) anything,” said Ravindra Gupta, a professor and HIV scientist who played a leading role in treating the man. The patient’s name, nationality or age is not public. He is called “the London patient” because he was treated in the British capital. A similar identification was given to the first known person cleared of HIV infection over ten years ag o, the “Berlin patient”. Both men experienced a similar treatment.But there was something unusual about the person who gave the London patient stem cells. The giver or donor had a natural resistance(抵抗力) to HIV. In other words, something about this person’s body made it impossible for him or her to become infected（感染）with the HIV virus. As a result, when the London patient received the stem cells, his immune（免疫） system changed and he developed a natural resistance to HIV, too.Ravindra Gupta notes that the donor’s unusual resistance to HIV may not be the only reason the treatment cleared the London patient’s infection. He notes that the Berlin patient and the London patient had similar side effects after the treatment. In both cases, the donors’ stem cells immediately began to attack the patients’ immune cells. This interaction may have helped destroy some of the HIV infection in the patients, Gupta says.Experts who study AIDS say the success of the Berlin patient and the London patient is very important. Their experiences show that scientists will one day be able to end AIDS. But they also warn that a cure has not been found. The blood treatments the Berlin and London patients had have failed in other patients. The treatments are also too dangerous, expensive and risky to do for the large number of people who already have the virus that causes AIDS.32. From the example of the two patients, we can learn that HIV virus _______.A. shows no sign in p eople’ bloodB. is bound to lead to the disease AIDSC. is mainly treated in the British capitalD. can be cleared with a stem cell transplant33. What was special in the London patient case?A. His immune system totally broke down.B. No side effects appeared in his treatment.C. He would not be infected with HIV again.D. His treatment was the first case in the world.34. What’s the author’s attitude towards the treatments?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Favorable.D. Indifferent.35. Where does this text probably come from?A. A science news report.B. A biology textbook.C. A medication guide.D. A science fiction.第二节七选五（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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．For most Americans， a clean glass of water is just a matter of taming on a faucet （水龙头）_____36_____.On Wednesday， the United Nations （UN） marked World Water Day by trying to cut the number of people without good drinking water— one billion human beings worldwide— in half． In the next ten years， the UN will work with governments around the world to reduce the shortage．_____37_____ In India，many people bathe and wash their clothes in rivers that are polluted by human waste．_____38_____ “The links between water and human health are powerful，” said Dr. Lee Jong-wook director-general of the World Health Organization （WHO）．“We cannot live without clean water．”____39_____ The agency provided clean water to nearly 500,000 people in Indonesia and Sri Lanka after the tsunami．_____40_____ Since then， it is celebrated each year on March 22．A．World Water Day was first celebrated in 1993．B．According to the UN， not having enough clean water and sanitation （卫生）causes more than three million deaths a year．C．We are badly in need of clean water．D．Without clean water，many people use water which is harmful to their health．E．But for many of the world's poorest，it's hard to get．F．In fact，the International Federation of the Red Cross said that quick reaction after last year's Asian tsunami had stopped disease．G．We provide clean water to the people in tsunami．第三部分完型填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beaut y and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”4、What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.5、What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.6、What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against7、What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsBefore the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon th ere would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.8、Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?A. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential.9、What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.10、Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.11、What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B. It was a temporary success.C. It was a robbery of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the big number t han the little one.”12、What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13、How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A. By drawing a circle.B. By touching a screen.C. By watching videos.D. By mixing two drinks.14、What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.B. They could understand simple words.C. They could memorize numbers easily.D. They could hold their attention for long.15、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Science.二、七选五16、Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.①________ We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea.
