"One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book's compassionate message, Peterson made a decision：He was going to go outside and introduce himself.In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris. He'd moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. "I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn't shaved in probably a year, because his story, the life inside of him, inspired me," Peterson recalled. Therefore, Peterson asked if he could paint Faris's portrait. Faris agreed.Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a "love account" for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.Many of Peterson's new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities medical care, hotel rooms, food. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, "Can I use the money to pay my daughter's rent? " When the check was delivered, "They both wept in my arms, "Peterson recalls.Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there's more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who's down and out. He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped."People often tell me, 'I was the one that would cross the street, but I see homeless people differently now, ' " Peterson says. "I didn't know that would happen."4．What made Peterson start a conversation?A.The curiosity about strangers.B.The touching story of Matt Faris.C.The disturbance by a homeless man.D.The sympathetic message in Love Does.5．What do we know about Faces of Santa Ana?A.It pays the homeless salaries.B.It is an official nonprofit organization.C.It tries to restore the lives of Peterson's models.D.It spends all the money on helping the unhoused.6．After buying a portrait, a buyer might view the homeless as ______?zy and poorB.odd but inspiringC.disturbing and untidyD.pitiful but respectable7．Which of the following is the best title of this text?A.Art with Purpose: Love Account MattersB.Hope in Paintings: Help Knows No RaceC.Faces of Compassion: Painting a New PerspectiveD.Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New FriendsFilm Puts Justifiable Defense in SpotlightThe film, Article 20, directed by Zhang Yimou, draws its name from Article 20 of the Criminal Law, which focuses on the sometimes controversial legal concept of justifiable defense. Drawing inspiration from real-life cases of justifiable defense, the film gained widespread attention and struck a chord with the public during the Spring Festival holiday. The movie calls for a detailed interpretation of legal terms and urges against compromising on unlawful conduct.According to the Criminal Law, when a person, faced with an unlawful attack, takes action to protect his or her own rights or interests or those of others, and the attacker is thereby harmed, the defender will be considered to have acted in justifiable defense and will not bear criminal responsibility. For some time, justifiable defense has been regarded as a "dormant clause" (沉寂条款) , due to the influence of misconceptions, such as "whoever is injured or killed is right".But the true meaning of the law should be to increase the responsibility for wrongdoers, rather than burdening good people. Recent cases have shown that, for ordinary citizens, justifiable defense is no longer a pipe dream. A high-profile case in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, in 2018 served as a wake-up call and caught the attention of authorities regarding such cases. In that case, a traffic argument led to a motorist who took a knife with him confronting another man.The motorist was killed, and police and judges determined that the defender's actions constituted justifiable defense. Since then, the justifiable defense clause has been applied in several places across the nation. The concern over justifiable defense reflects the public's demand for fairness, justice, security and rule of law.Luo Xiang, a renowned professor of criminal law at China University of Political Science and Law, said in a recent comment about the film Article20 that the public and judges should avoid taking a "godlike" perspective. Instead, they should consider the situation in which the defender was involved, empathize with the defender's position, and stop themselves from making excessive demands on the defender, Luo said.8．Why did the film Article 20 attract the audience's attention?A.It was released during the Spring Festival holiday.B.It is named after one article in the Criminal Law.C.It explores real-life cases of justifiable defense.D.It was directed by Zhang Yimou.9．According to the Criminal Law, the victim will be free from criminal responsibility when ______.A.the victim gave up his legal rightsB.the robber kept silent about the robberyC.the robber was hurt worse than the victimD.the victim knifed the armed robber to stop the ongoing crime10．What is the function of the case in Kunshan in Paragraph 3?A.Making comparisons.B.Listing reasons.C.Explaining misconceptions.D.Providing evidence.11．What does Luo Xiang suggest judges do?A.Take a “godlike” viewpoint with the public.B.Put oneself in the defender's shoes.C.Demand more from the defender.D.Side with the attacker.Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is "eating" its host galaxy to death.The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the black hole, which dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are "a giant leap forward", are reported in the journal Nature.This surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions about how black holes form and grow. The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways: they might be 'born big' or they can eat matter at a rate that's five times higher than had been thought possible. Like all black holes,According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way, this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size. However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected.The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its development. When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This "wind" could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole's source of "food".Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career. "It's a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo's telescope to a modern telescope overnight," he said. "The universe has been quite generous in what it's showing us, and this is just the beginning."12．What does the underlined word "devours" mean in Paragraph 3?A.Changes.B.Swallows.C.Observes.D.Forms.13．According to Paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed?A.Because the host galaxy is too small.B.Because the black hole is killing itself.C.Because the “wind” ceases star formation.D.Because black holes produce too much gas.14．What is Maiolino's attitude to the new discovery about the black hole?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Ambiguous.15．What can we learn from this passage?A.The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size.B.Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight.C.The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward.D.The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the "wind".二、七选五16．The Failed New Year's Resolution: Three Tips to Get on Track January is officially over, and many people are taking stock of their progress towards New Year's resolutions. The fact is that you probably haven't kept up with them as much as you hoped. But that's not your fault. ①______.If you feel like you have already failed, here are three tips before you let go.Practice self-compassionMany people talk to themselves in harsh ways when struggling with new habits, believing self-criticism will help them reach their goals. Research shows, however, that the opposite is true. Self-compassion is more effective for personal improvement, especially when facing failure. ②______, try to be kind and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a loved one.③______Resolutions are often phrased as definitive goals. I will exercise daily. I will kick desserts. ④______. But setting all-or-nothing goals can lead to all-or-nothing decisions that one gives up when faced with challenges. In contrast, intentions focus more on your values than specific actions. For example, the resolution "I will exercise daily" may become an intention of "I want to move my body because it feels good." This approach allows for more flexibility when unexpected stress arises.Solve problems by overcoming barriersIf you are struggling to maintain your desired habits, there are evidence-based techniques available to help you. ⑤______. This involves identifying the specific barriers that lead to your quitting something that you want to do. Perhaps you keep forgetting the new habit, or perhaps you don't understand how to do it. Whatever it is, identify the barrier and cope with it specifically.A. Set all-or-nothing goalsB. Change your resolutions into intentionsC. One such skill is called missing links analysisD. Setting specific behavioral goals can be effectiveE. If you're persuaded to give up on your resolutionsF. Old habits tend to die hard, and new habits tend to die easyG. When you are upset about yourself for not keeping resolutions三、完形填空（15空）My son asked me months ago if he could switch from his mainstream high school to aanother learning environment to complete his study.

They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD andmedical degree.4. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. instant passion.B. continuous efforts.C. great patience.D. selfless ambitions.5. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?A. Sad and disappointed.B. Stressed and defeated.C. Determined and confident.D. Joyous and contented.6. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. From Homeless to YaleB. Meet American’s Top GirlC. Disabled but not DefeatedD. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsCFor 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions ofland and consequently billions of dollars.Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The information of industrial revolution.B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.C. The reasons of climate change.D. The result of extreme weather events.9. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We have made great achievements.B. Some measures are still required to take.C. Mars is suitable for people’s living.D. Some countries will receive urgent aid.10. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Long Live Planet Earth!B.Environment Changes Rapidly!C. What Serious Global Warming!D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!11. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B.C. D.DIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.12. Why didn't the author like the first day of spring?A. He had to work at home instead of at office.B. There wasn't social distance between each other.C. There was an epidemic everywhere in the world.D. His own company had been closed for a long time.13. How did people feel in the face of the epidemic?A. Disappointed.B. TenseC. Confident.D. Cheerful.14. What made the author happy?A. Seeing someone delivering lunches from door to door.B. Talking with his old friend in the street.C. Watching a childhood television at home.D. Staying together with his family.15. What do Mr. Roger's words actually mean?A. It's not necessary for us to find helpers in bad times.B. In good times we needn't do much to help others.C. We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Numerous articleshave been written and intensive research has been conducted on dinosaurs.Scientists believe that dinosaurs came into existence about 180,000,000 yearsago, but have been extinct for several millions of years, and to-date, only reconstructed fossil (31) serve as tangible(实际的) proof that dinosaurs didexist on earth at one time.Dinosaurs were actually reptiles, a separate class of animals with the following (32) ;they are cold-blooded; they can live on land; they have a (33) typeof heart and most of them have scales.The first reptiles appeared long before the dinosaurs (34) big lizards and (35) short tails, thick legs and big heads. They subsisted mainly on plants.The first dinosaurs resembled their reptile (36) ,but they could walk on theirhind legs. Some kinds remained small, but in the course of time, others grew to (37) sizes and lengths, ranging from 8 to 20 feet and weighing more than an elephant. Therewas a giant dinosaur, known as Brontosaurus, measuring70-80 feet long and weighing38 tons. Another(38) kind, called Allesaurus, could walk about on land, and (39) on the Brontosaurus and other plant-eating reptiles, with its sharp teeth and powerfulclaws.Today, dinosaurs are only found in books, pictures and in motion pictures. With the remarkably widespread interest in dinosaurs, people bee agog in asking this question: Why did the giant creatures bee extinct? Many scientists offer one conjecture(猜测) that they disappeared because of the changes in the climate of the earth, which deprived them of the places to live in and feed. Other experts have recently e up with the theory that giant meteors (40) upon the earth and destroyed the dinosaurs in an instant. Many more theories may be put forward by experts, but still, no one had a conclusive and definite answer to the puzzle.HFACI DKBEGIII. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The most obvious benefit of a single currency is that it will no longer be necessary to incur(引起)the costs of exchange from one currency to another. Travelers know that these costs are not negligible. First of all, there is a mission (41) (usually a fixed amount); secondly, the price (42) which the traveler purchases foreign currency for domestic currency (43) from the price of exchanging back surplus (过剩)foreign currency. The removal of these transaction costs constitutes a gain from monetary union.Another benefit is that removal of exchange rate (44) between the countries of the EU would provide much more assurance to (45) location decisions. At present, a pany takes (46) of the risk of exchange rate variation in its location decision, and this may lead it to scatter its plants across the various economies to hedge against(防范)the risk of exchange rate variation. Removing this source of uncertainty allows investors to (47) according to economies of scale and may lead to more plants of (48) size, a reduction in unit cost of production, and increase in (49) .A single currency provides the (50) for counter-inflationary(反通胀)policies.A single currency could lead to a (51) in the market discrimination that currently exists in the EU(for example, prices of motor cars of the (52) specification(规格) stand higher in the UK than they do in France) as the quotation(报价) of prices in mon currency discourages arbitrage(套利)activity and reduces the market division(53) which such discrimination relies.(54) , firms in one country cannot continue to (55) their prices higher than their European petitorsand still remain petitive.41.A. money B. sum C. tip D. charge42.A. on B. at C. in D. over43.A. different B. infers C. differs D. variable44.A. float B. contrast C. difference D. variation45.A. appropriate B. cooperative C. corporate D.reasonable46.A. account B. count C. mind D. range47.A. decide B. locate C. choose D. invest48.A. largest B. maximum C. medium D. optimum49.A. effect B. effectiveness C. deficiency D. efficiency50.A. shade B. firework C. framework D. door51.A. rise B. reduction C. revival D. cause52.A. same B. different C. similar D. excessive53.A. in B. on C. over D. at54.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given inthe passage you have just read.(A)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, bee "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are being more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of remendation in the intense petition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the pletion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.56.what do stiletto heels refer to according to the passage?, ___.A.Heels most appropriate for catwalks.B.shoes that fit retail sector workers best.C.heels with the limit of an inch.D.very high heels that women wear.57.why did the Trade Union leaders propose to ban stiletto heels from the workplace?A.they believed that these shoes are harmful to women workers’ health.B.they maintained that women should decide what to wear at work.C.they thought these shoes give women excuse to ask for a sick leave.D.they didn’t want to work in the place that looks like Hollywood.58.Nadine Dorries disapproved the motion because she felt that the extra height of the heels_____A.improved her vision.B.boosted her confidence.C.helped people to find her.D.made her more in control of her life.59.How does Michelle Dewberry see the motion?.A.It should be supported for the sake of women’s health.B.The union officials shouldn’t have debates o n any motions.C.It’s unnecessary and women have right to decide what to wear.D.The union leaders should decide on the tightness of ties instead.DABC(B)Noad was a tall, handsome 23-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girlbut expected to marry another. His stepmother had arranged everything- he would wed a distant relation and bring the two families closer together. Noad had two choices. He would either marry the girl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of parents and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another choice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friends found him slumped in a ma on hes bed after he had consumed two litres of a powerful insecticide.For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradise where a strong culture and sense of munity protect its inhabitants from the rigors of the modern world. It is an image supported by many millions of dollars from the international hotel munity which provides luxury acmodation and facilities for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annually to the holiday island.Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story- one which exist in stark contrast to the s un, sand and sea”dream”. The truth is that the lives of Bali’s 2.7 million local inhabitants are often marked by poverty, suffering and family conflict. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid who works part-time for an expatriate resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting pany which provides day trips to tourists.”sometimes i have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages.” the husband’s father, unfamiliar with western support system, bats his son’s behavior by calling in the dukun, a spiritual” healer”who makes offerings to the bad spirits at play in his mind.60. You would expect to find this passage in______ ?A. A newspaperB. An advertisementC.a travel brochureD.a book61. It can be inferred from the paragraph 1 that the third choice that Noad’s family failed to foresee is that____.A. He fell into sleepB. He went against their wishes and left homeC. He mited suicideD. He started to take drugs62.In paragraph 2 it refers to______A. Strong culture.B. Sense of munity.C. Heavenly paradise.D. The modern world.BCC(C)Most people dont leave their front door unlocked, and the same is true of their home Wi-Fi networks. But some believe that preventing access to your wireless Internet actually does more harm than good. Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organisation devoted to defending digital rights, is calling for an "Open Wireless Movement" and encouraging people to be "socially responsible" by sharing their connection. Eckersley pares the current situation of locked-down networks to "finding yourself parched(干透的)and thirsty while everyone around you is sipping from nice tall glasses of iced water", and offers a technological solution. We restrict access to our networks for two reasons: to prevent other people from using up our bandwidth, and to ensure our security and privacy. He suggests we can still protect ourselves from both problems by using routers(路由器)that share a certain amount of bandwidth in the open while also providing an encrypted(加密的)connection for personal use, but such technology already exists, and people arent choosing to use it. Perhaps the problem is not technological, but legal, as home users dont want to be responsible for the activities of others on their network. Quite understandable, really. But Eckersley says that "individuals can enjoy the same legal protections against liability as any other Internet access provider", but the law is far from clear in this area and differs from country to country. In a footnote on his article, Eckersley says US law "may" offer protection, but that didnt prevent a man who left his network open from being called a paedophile(恋童癖者)by armed police in his livingroom this past weekend. Courts in Germany have previously ruled that people can be fined if they allow unauthorised users to access illegal materials through their connection, while in the UK disputes over recent changes to the law leave the matter uncertain. Perhaps these legal concerns can be overe by turning to an unlikely role-model —Estonia, where access to the Internet is a legal human right. The country is blanketed in a network of free Wi-Fi access points in cafes, bars and other public locations, allowing people to easily get online almost anywhere. So who wants to open up their network first?63 What does the author say about the Electronic Frontier Foundation?A．It encourages people to share their networks.B．Its work is about protecting digital rights.C．It is advocating an "Open Wireless Movement".D．Its main business is trading electronics.64. One reason leading most people to lock their network is________A. Laws protect home users of internet from responsibilities.B. Internet access provides take no responsibility for their users’ illegal activitiesC. Home users enjoy the same right as internet access providers.D. It is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’s activities.65. What can be inferred from Eckersl ey’s words individual......internet access provider in para4_________.A. Laws protects home users of internet from responsibilitiesB. Internet access providers take no responsibility for their for their user’s illegal activities.C. Home users enjoy the same rights as internet access providersD it is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’sactivities.66. What information can be got about Estonia from the passage? .A.It restricts free access to internetB. Free Wi-Fi is set up all over the countryC. It is impossible for other countries to follow its suitD its people can get free Wi-Fi access almost everywhere.BCBDSection DDirections: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Second Life is an online imaginary world where a puter user can create a new self and experience a separate life. Second Life is similar to other popular "massively multiplayer online role-playing games." The pany Linden Lab of San Francisco, California created Second Life in two thousand three.____67____Then he or she creates an electronic image, or animated character, called an avatar. Some people try to make their avatar look as close to their real self as possible. Other people change their sex or bee an imaginary creature as their Second Life avatar.Once you have your avatar you bee a "resident" of Second Life. ____68____Your avatar also can make friends with other Second Life avatars. Residents can go to school, own a business, even get married. But, there are also activities in Second Life that are impossible in the real world. For example, if you do not feel like walking to that park near your Second Life home, why not fly?____69____But it costs money to get other accounts and to buy land. The virtual world has its own currency, the Linden dollar. You use these to buy virtual clothes, property, entertainment and many other things. You can earn Linden dollars by working at a job. That unreal money has a real life value. About two hundred fifty Linden dollars are worth one American dollar.Second Life is popular among schools and businesses.Many universities have set up campuses on the Web site. Many kinds of stores can also be found there. And, entertainers sometimes perform live on Second Life with their Second Life avatars.____70____It is said that the total number of residents is more than thirteen million from more than one hundred countries.BCDFIV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.It’s a joy to be youngA noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life．Indeed it is, for during childhood, one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills．Each step signals an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities．During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns simple skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently．At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative．His ability to remember things also leaps at this stage． He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering．Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving．As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the plexities of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates．He also learns to experiment with new life situations, including dates and part-time work．Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play.Some youngsters look at life pessimistically. They plain that it is a tragedy to be young because they are faced with what they consider insumountable(无法克服的）problems and pressures at home and school, let alone with the opposite sex. Given that, however, children’s pressures pale in prison with the adults’. It is truethat studying can be burdensome at times, but at least children do not have the same pressure and burden that adults feel-the burden of working to make endsmeet and give the children a decent and fortable life.It is an inescapable truth that childhood is a happy stage- a time of sheer joy, innocence and freedom from the plexities and challenges of the adult world.第II卷（共40分）I.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．A“I think it’s a great thing when I know it’s going to help someone else.” said l3-year-old Spencer Goldstein，after collecting hundreds of pieces of baseball equipment for kids who can not afford to buy their own.Spencer collected the bats，balls，gloves，helmets and masks for his mitzvah(德行)project，which is a community service project that many Jewish kids do around their bar or bat mitzvahs(成人礼). A bar mitzvah is a ceremony for a boy while a bat mitzvah is intended for a girl. The ceremony means that you are old enough to take on a grown-up’s responsibilities.Spencer got the idea for his mitzvah project after seeing the Ugandan national team at lastyear’s Little League World Series. Some of the Ugandan players didn’t even have their own gloves. And Spencer’s donations are going to a group called “Pitch for Baseball”—a group that gives baseball equipment to kids in low-income communities around the world.Mollie Schwartz and Mia Schwartz also came up with a sports-related mitzvah project. The money they raised went to the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled. They raised at least $9,000-enough to pay for at least three wheelchairs made for playing basketball.In Massachusetts，Abigail Miller decided to collect musical instruments for her mitzvah project. The instruments Abigail collected were then donated to groups that distribute them to kids who can’t afford to buy them. “I want to make sure everybody can get the chance to enjoy music like I do,” Abigail said. Abigail collected more than three-dozen instruments--wind instruments，string instruments，keyboards，even a drum set.Whether it’s playing sports，playing music or something else，kids such as Spencer，Mollie，Mia and Abigail are using their mitzvah projects to change the world for the better. “They learned about generosity，’’said Mollie’s mother，Loft Schwartz，“and the power to make things happen”.21. How did Spencer feel after collecting some baseball equipment?A. Tired.B. Confident.C. Proud.D. upset.22. Spencer planned to begin to collect baseball equipment .A. when he was only thirteen years oldB. after he saw some players wearing no glovesC. when he found a group offering equipment to othersD. after he found his classmates still living in poverty23. What do we know about Abigail Miller from the text?A. She collected sport equipment for the disabled.B. She hoped more things would be given to those kids.C. She sent the things she collected directly to those in need.D. She helped many kids have fun with music through her efforts.24. From the passage we can know .A. some kids are famous for their funny projects.B. not all mitzvah projects are related to sports.C. the requirements are different for boys and girls.D. few girls are willing to do the mitzvah projects.25. What can we learn from the text?A. Generosity.B. Bravery.C. Determination.D. Honesty.BOn March 15, Dunes View Middle School held a contest for school bands.Student bands tried out for the opportunity to perform at the school picnic，which will be held at the end of June. The winner of the contest was the band called Four Square.“We’re very proud that we won the contest and are excited to perform at the picnic，” says Peter Zandt，who plays guitar in the band. “And sinc e we hope to perform someday at other local places，like restaurants and parks，this will be a great first step.”The contest was the creation of music teacher Mr. Lopez and drama teacher Ms. Cho. The two thought of the idea while discussing recent years' sc hool picnics. “The picnic is one of the biggest events of the year，but it has become a bit formulaic，"said Ms. Cho. “The activities arethe same every year .We thought that a performance by a student band would make the school picnic more interesting and f un.”Mr. Lopez，Ms. Cho，and three other teachers judged the contest，which took place in the gym. To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills，the teachers asked them each to prepare two songs：one song with original words，and another in which students played instrumental music only. The judges finally chose the band Four Square as the winner of the contest. Four Square is a rock band with an unusual twist：it includes a violin player! The members of Four Square write their own songs and practice three times a week after schoo1.Students and teachers agreed that the band competition was a big success. All are looking forward to the school picnic in June.26. What can be the best title for the article?A. Famous Band Visits Schoo1.B. Teachers Give Music Lessons.C. Students Have Fun at School Picnic.D. School Holds Student Band Contest.29. According to the article，what is unusual about the band Four Square?A. It is named after a popular children’s game.B. Its members practice several times a week.C. It is a rock band with a violinist.D. Its members all play guitar.30. According to the article，what does the band Four Square hope to do in the future?A. Perform at the school picnic every year.B. Perform in many different places.C. Buy new instruments.D. Record an album.CIf you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistake s. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival．Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others’ errors. Ceils in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake．But researchers didn’t know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors．To investigate the brain’s response to errors in more detail，the researchers taught a game to two macaques，a type of monkey．One monkey could press a yellow or green button while theother watched．If the first monkey pressed the right button，the team gave both animals a treat．Every couple of rounds，the two monkeys switched roles．Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal’s brains．When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button，a group of cells in the second monkey’s brain fired．But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn，some of the cells in that group didn’t respond．Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others，not to the monkey’s own mistakes．Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s errors．“You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle．”Ellen de Bruijn，told Science News．She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands．31．According to Paragraph l，animals’ ability to learn from others’ mistakesA．used to be ignored by humans B．ensures that they will never failC．is being lost because of humans D．helps them to survive better32．The underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A．correcting B．making C．sensing D．drawing33．From the game the scientists taught to two macaques，we can see .A．how the brain responds to mistakes B．which part of the brain is more active C．animals can avoid the same mistakes D．how the brain processes information34．In the experiment mentioned，those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to .
