AWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for b oys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as per sonal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that r epresented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it m eans heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a sy mbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often w ear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evil s（灾祸）.People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ re actions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increa se people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in t he restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catc hes a person’s eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause pe ople to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what colo r to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.1.

He planted vegetables, fruit trees a nd even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken hou se in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When w e complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger t he manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For exa mple, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with it s sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he ann ounced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabb ages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For abo ut half an hour. the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and th e pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we tho ught Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked u s out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows toair out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak! Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and pas sed them around it didn’t look that bad, and after the first wav e had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose s o much, tasty, and we drank up every last drop of soup.5.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regul arly?A.

But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’r oll. Long-ago builders could have tied wooden pole s to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physi cist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, ea ch of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a l arge pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away. The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the block s along smooth paths. Many scientists guess workers first wo uld have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have made the path slippery(滑的) either with wet clay or with the fat from animals. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging hea vy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers foun d small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way , led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watchinga television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things？’“A square could be turned into a rough so rt of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized. That , he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier t o roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somew hat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along d ifferent kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block re quired about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolli ng has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers would n’t have needed to carry animal fat or water to smooth the pat hs.12. It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles13.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to ?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.D. rolling the blocks with fat.14. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.15. What is the text mainly about ?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyra mid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks t o the pyramid site.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共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。

Their reasons are as follows: First, being ready to help others is one of the traditional virtues of our nation. Secondly, It’s our instinct that leads us to help those in need. As a saying goes,“Helping others is helping ourselves.”Last but not the least, If the injured receive immediate treatment, they may survive. However, some other students said they would walk away for fear of being scammed. As is reported ,quite a few of people were scammed by the injured or their relatives after they helped them.As far as I’m concerned, actions speak louder than words. Good deeds will be paid off sooner or later. As long as everyone gives a hand to the need, they will make a big difference.附：（听力材料）(Text 1)W: Excuse me. Is the flight from New York on time?M: Yes, it is. It should be arriving in 20 minutes at Gate 5.(Text 2)W: It’s very hard to decide what to eat.

I have an international meeting there.W: When are you leaving?M: This coming Friday, that is to say, the day after tomorrow.(Text 5)W: Hi, Tom! How are you today?M: Fine, thanks. What’s up, Ann?W: There’s an American folk concert tomorrow night. Do you want to go with me?M: Sorry. I don’t want to miss my favorite movie on TV then, and besides, I really prefer jazz, not folk music.(Text 6)W: Would you like some coffee?M: Yes, but I don’t think you have time. You’re working this evening, aren’t you?W: Yes, but I won’t start until 8:30. That’s half an hour from now. In fact, I wanted to ask you for a favor.M: What is it? Go ahead.W: Do you still remember me talking about Sally and David?M: You mean your friends from New York? Why?W: They will stay here for a couple of weeks, and I wonder if you’d be free to show them around a bit.M: I’d love to.W: They haven’t been to Hong Kong before, so you’d have plenty of choices of where to take them.(Text 7)M: Morning, Mary.

I’ve already started doing someresearch.M: That’s certainly a practical hobby. I know of many such people who have turned out to be great inventors.W: It certainly is.

I hope you will be successful sooner rather than later.W: Thanks.(Text 8)W: Mr. Depp, I’m going to teach in Paris very soon, perhaps next month.M: Congratulatio ns, Miss Evans! I’m sure you will be very happy there. Paris is such a big city; there are a lot of interesting things to see.W: Yes, that’s why I’ve come to you. You studied there, right? I have mixed feelings, you see. I’m excited but I’m also a bit wor ried.M: What’s bothering you?W: It’s this: someone told me that people from Paris look down upon people from other places. Is this true?M: Oh, yes. I hate that kind of attitude. Some people in Paris do, but I’m sure not everyone in Paris is like that.W: That attitude is difficult for me to understand. You know a lot of my classmates here are from other countries. I often help them, and I’ve learned a lot from them. They are all hard-working. Most of them are very talented.M: Well, I’m sure you will find life in Paris to be wonderful, even if some people aren’t very nice. It’s a beautiful city in which to start a new life.W: Yes.

I want to make full use of every minute.M: It seems everything is easy for you.W: I think everything is easy if you’re willing to do it. If you like, you could use that method toimprove your English. What do you think?M: Yes, I know learning English by doing something I like would help me improve, but I would still have to take out time to watch TV to improve my listening.W: Why not talking to native speakers or listening to the radio?(Text 10)Welcome to the History and Archaeology website.

Compare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this several times，you will find that each version is better than the last.Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If y ou play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all，have fun!( )46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others.( )47.Which of the following is the most important in learning English?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.Vocabulary.( )48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary( )49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true in learning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the moodtakes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感).Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (准时)，and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.( )50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it( )51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.( )52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable( )53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their childr en, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”( )54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless( )55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use( )56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible( )57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has don e, is doing and will do.( )58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on( )59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement( )60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we have that spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in times of difficulty( )61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to knowwhether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.( )62. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C( )63.

explored the town's abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）．I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through．Inside，there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark．After my eyes adjusted，I noticed a shaft （升降机井）that rose all the way to the top of the barn．On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller．I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft，but stopped halfway．After a brief panic attack，I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals，forming a ladder．For reasons known only to an 11-year-old，I decided it would be better to go up than down．So，with shaking hands，I began climbing the wall．After what seemed like forever，I reached the top of the shaft．I stood up，dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest．It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof．I climbed all the way up here for this？Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器），which I'd always wanted to shoot off．So this was the chance of a lifetime．I tried it，even find my body．Luckily，I remembered the ladder to the roof．I climbed up，popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky．I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention．So when the dust had settled，I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door．I'm not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught，but I ran all the way back home．41.When the author got inside the barn，he ______ ．A.noticed a man on the elevatorB.opened the chained sliding doorC.saw many dead mice in the darkD.found a shaft leading to the top42.Which of the following is the right order of the author's adventure？______a．The elevator stopped halfway．b．He entered the round grain barn．c．He climbed to the top of the shaft．d．He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off．A.b-a-d-cB.a-c-b-dC.c-a-d-bD.b-a-c-d43.After getting out of the chained door，the author might feel ______ ．A.inspiredB.relievedC.surprisedD.disappointed44.From the passage，we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of ______ ．A.passionsB.dreamsC.curiosityD.imagination．BEverywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices，while driving，walking，shopping，even sitting in toilets．When connected electronically，they are away from physical reality．People have been influenced to become technology addicted．One survey reported that"addicted"was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices．One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep，cigarettes and alcohol．The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products，not to actually improve our quality of life．They have successfully created a cultural disease．Consumers willingly give up their freedom，money and time to catch up on the latest information，to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern．I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology，where they serve technology more than technology serves them．I call this technology servitude．I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money．What is a healthy use of technology devices？That is the vital question．Who is really in charge of my life？That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology．When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week，then we can regain control and personal freedom，become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology．Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that"too much of a good thing is wonderful．"But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology．Richard Fernandez，an executive coach at Google acknowledged that"we can be swept away by our technologies．"To break the grand digital connection people must consider how lifeA.advantageB.attractionC.adaptionD.attempt46.From the passage，technology companies aim to ______ ．A.attract people to buy their productsB.provide the latest informationC.improve people's quality of lifeD.deal with cultural diseases47.It can be inferred from this passage that people ______ ．A.consider too much technology wonderfulB.have realized the harm of high-tech devicesC.can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD.may enjoy life better without overused technology48.What's the author's attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices？______A.Neutral．B.Sceptical．C.Disapproving．D.Sympathetic．CEach of us can live strong，healthy，energetic lives for a long time to come．The key？Actually，there are many of them．Eat fewer calories，but more foodSlimming down can help prevent disease，and cutting way back on the amount you eat may even slow the aging process．When nutrition researchers invited themselves over for dinner in kitchens across the globe-from Greece to Japan to the state of Pennsylvania--they discovered a stomach-satisfying secret to good health：Pile your plate high with vegetables and fruits，add respectable parts of beans and whole grains，and ignore high-calorie food like cheeseburgers，cream sauces，and fatty meats．Use exercise as an anti-aging vaccineExercise can help you gain a better quality of life as you age．It's no secret that physical activity strengthens muscles，burn calories，and puts a happy bounce in your step．But recently，researchers discovered a new，extra benefit：Exercise acts as a powerful way against the aging process itself．When exercise physiologists put healthy people aged 60to 85on Weight-training programs for six months then tested them for signs of free-radical（自由基）damage，they were surprised by the results．By the end of the study，low-intensity exercisers had a drop in free-radical damage，while high-intensity exercisers had a slight increase．Find something interesting to doLife is always busy no matter what your age．But the truth is，when people are retired，time usually does become more available for adults after 60．With this time come choices．The easy one is merely to relax：watch more TV，eat out more often，talk on the phone as much as you want．The better choice？Discover something more meaningful to devote yourself to and do it wholeheartedly．49.Which of the following is what you should eat more？______A.Fatty meats．B.Whole grains．C.Cream sauces．D.Cheeseburgers．50.The new discovery of exercise probably is that ______ ．A.it can help you live a better lifeB.it can strengthen musclesC.it can burn caloriesA.In your fifties．B.Beyond sixtyC.Over seventyD.Before sixty．52.The best title of this text should be" ______ "．A.How to Keep a Balanced DietB.The

But my husband Larry and I were in the midst of packing to move. Our house was a mess. I stood looking at all the tasks that should be taken care of—and did nothing. I couldn’t focus. Occasionally, someone would speak to me with offer, “If there’s anything I can do, please let me know.”“Thank you, thank you very much,” I’d reply. But I was too confused to concentrate.The bell rang and I opened the door to see Emerson King standing at the door. “Donna has to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to get the children’s shoes cleaned and shined for the funeral. So that’s what I’ve come to do for you. Give me all your shoes.” Oh, 高考资源网, I hadn’t even thought about shoes!Emerson’s request gave me something specific to do. While he was spreading newspapers on the kitchen floor, I tried to gather all our shoes. Emerson settled himself on the floor and got to work, saying nothing. Watching him concentrate on one task helped me pull my own thought into order. And one by one, I got all the jobs into place. When I finally returned to the kitchen, I only found him gone. Lined against one wall were all our shoes, spotless, gleaming (闪光). And the love in that act released my tears at last.Now, whenever I hear of an acquaintance who has lost a loved one, I no longer call with the vague(模糊的) offer, “If there’s anything I can do, ” I try to think of one specific task that suits that person’s need, and I’m always successful. It’s just because a man once cleaned my shoes.46.The writer couldn’t do anything at first most probably because __________.A.there was too much to doB.her house was in a mess.C.she was shocked by the newsD.her husband was doing the packing47.Donna, as is mentioned in Paragraph 3, was most likely to be ______.A. Emerson’s wifeB. Emerson’s wifeC. another neighbour of the writer’sD. one of Emerson’ acquaintance48. The reason only Emerson’s offer was accepted was that his offer was _____.A. sincereB. specificC. vagueD. simple49. We can judge from the article that Emerson __________.A. must be the writer’s friendB. was a close relative of the writer’sC. was a mere acquaintance of the writer’sD. was only a stranger to the writer50. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. This story happened in the morning.B. Emerson said goodbye to the writer before he left.C. People are in need of help when they have just lost a loved one.D. Specific offers are difficult to accept.BIt was the first snow of winter----an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now，I had been old enough to dress myself，but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson，my kindergarten teacher，had been through first snow days many times，but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother，and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine，and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.（靴子）．In her calm，motherly voice she said，“By the end of winter，‘you will all be able to put on your own boots.”I didn’t reali ze at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）．I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children，I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing，she managed to get the first one into place and then，with a sigh，worked the second one on too.I announced，"They’re on the wrong feet.”She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again."They’re my brother's boots，you know，”I said. "'I hate them！”Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying （烦人的）little girl. She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，"Now，where are your mittens（连指手套）？”I looked into her eyes and said，"I didn’t want to lose them，so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”51. The little girl was more satisfied with her＿．A. trousersB. jacket C boots D. hat52. Miss Finlayson had, difficulty with the girl's boots mainly becauseA. the girl got them from her brotherB. the girl put something in themC. they were on the wrong feetD they did not fit the girl well53. Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?A. Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.B. Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.C Because the little girl played a trick on her.D. Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.54. We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson＿．A. was losing confidence in the little girlB. gradually lost patience with the little girlC became disappointed with the little girl D. was getting bored with the little girl55. What does the underlined word “announce” in the fifth paragraph mean?A. 承认 B 认识到 C 叹气 D 宣布四、单词拼写（10%）1. During the war we suffered many h_____ (艰难) you can’t imagine.2.

AMy son has poliomyelitis（小儿麻痹症）and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kinds of treatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid.So he was laughed at by his peers for his walking style. His tears burnt our eyes like sulphuric acid. Then, he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other people’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and we will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being mocked or despised anymore. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them in the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to MIT. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.21.

Its collections, which number more than 13 million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present.The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. The museum first opened to the public on 15 January 1759 in Montagu House in Bloomsbury, on the site of the current museum building. Its expansion over the following two and a half centuries was largely a result of an expanding British colonial footprint and has resulted in the creation of several branch institutions. Until 1997, when the British Library（previously centered on the Round Reading Room）moved to a new site, the British Museum housed both a national museum of antiquities and a national library in the same building. The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored（赞助）by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Since 2002 the director of the museum has been Neil MacGregor.Admission and opening hours:The museum is open every day from 10am to 6pm（Fridays 10am to 5:30pm）and itcharges no admission fee, except for loan exhibitions.How to get there:By train: 7:00-18:30 every day.By Underground: 8:00-18:30 every day.By bus: 7:30-18:30 every day.By coach: 7:00-19:30 every day.Nearest underground stations:Tottenham Court Road（500m）Holborn（500m）Russell Square（800m）25. When was the British Museum opened to the public for the first time?A. In 1753.B. In 1759.C. In 1997.D. In 2002.26. You are at the Museum at seven in the evening and you want to go back to Oxford. Whichmeans of transportation will you choose?A. By coach.B. By bus.C. By train.D. By underground.27. Which statement is TRUE according to the text?A. The British Museum has collected less than 13 million objects.B. The British Museum is open from 10 am to 6 pm every day.C. The British Museum is a great museum of human history and culture.D. The British Museum’s expansion in the past was not a result of an expanding Britishcolonial footprint.C“Where are we going, Dad?”, one of the hottest Chinese reality shows, has become a hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids raised a lot of people’s emotional common feelings. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows l ike “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot moms” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.In real life, on the one hand, the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy toaccompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand, they continue to do so. The data collected by Hunan TV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34. We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The partic ipation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.28. In raising a child in modern society, parents should _______.A. let their children go without caring anythingB. keep their children at home to avoid socializingC. balance well between family and careerD. break down the barrier between children and teachers29. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?A. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the educatio n of children to the old.B. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.C. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.D. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.30. The passage suggests young parents feel helpless in raising children mainly because_______.A. they have no professional knowledge for this fieldB. the old are free and forced to raise the grandchildren insteadC. their children feel isolated and lonely with themD. they are occupied with working and making a living31. What chief attitude towards modern family education does the author express in thepassage?A. Pessimistic.B. Worried.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.DSchool is much more than a place where students gather to learn. For children, school is their first opportunity for social development and introduction to people outside of their family unit. Lessons learned in school go beyond mathematics and language arts. Students learn to develop individual interests and find other people who share their interests.Music is one of the ways like-minded children come together. When many people talk about the benefits of music education, they’re quick to point out all of the numerous and measurable results of music education, many studies show the positive impact music programs can have on children in other areas of study.Dr. Laurel Trainor, a professor of psychology, at McMaster University, has said young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory compared to children who do not receive musical training. Stanford University researchers have found that musical training improves how the brain processes the spoken word; a finding that researchers say could lead to improving the reading ability of children who have dyslexia and other reading problems.Furthermore, in an analysis of data on more than 25,000 secondary school students, researchers at the United States Department of Education found that students who report consistent involvement in instrumental music during middle school and high school perform significantly better in mathematics by Grade 12 than those who do not participate in music programs.There are many reasons why music education can help to make a child a better student, but there also are other benefits that go beyond the classroom environment.Being involved in music is also a social endeavor that can set the course for lifelong friends and help create social groups that last through school and beyond. Music education breeds familiarity during a school career, when going from class to class or from school to school every year can be nerve wracking and unfamiliar.32. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To show school is the place for students to learn.B. To stress the importance of learning knowledge.C. To lead to the main topic of the passage.D. To explain what the author really thinks of.33. According to the researchers, we can know that ________.A. music lovers tend to use their brain in a wise wayB. music training can cure children of many diseasesC. learning music is beneficial to students’ performa nce in mathematicsD. senior students disliked attending music lessons34. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” mean?A. Having difficulty with reading.B. Receiving training for music.C. Gaining knowledge from learning.D. Losing the ability to read music.35. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. music can ensure you have a lot of close friendsB. changing schools is a bad experience for everyoneC. music does offer social and understanding benefitsD. few schools really focus on music education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填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

You had better learn to be grateful. If you are grateful, you naturally 21 yourself up to receive all kinds of blessings and good things in life. You can receive almost everything you want 22 . If you want recovery soon, start by feeling grateful that you are still 23 . If it is more money that you want, start being grateful for whatever 24 of money you already have.You see, showing gratitude(感恩) is the key to every 25 thing in life. It is the key to successful relationships, it is the key to successful futures and it is the key to 26 healthier and happier lives. And this is where the importance of being grateful lies. 27 , it makes life better.One of my favorite 28 is “If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have, you will find yourself having more to appreciate.” Think about that!Something as 29 as a “Thank you for being in my life” or “I 30 having you here with me”, can go a long way. It will make the other person feel good, and 31 it also will make you feel better!So maybe your wife is not very 32 around the house, but she’s great at cooking your favorite 33 . Or, maybe your child 34 milk all over your new shirt right before you walked out the door for work, but usually he makes you laugh so much and makes you 35 the luckiest parent in the world.I strongly 36 you to make a promise to yourself for the next week. Decide to 37 every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are 38 for. Then say them out loud. You will notice a smile on your face without even 39 .

I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up theshaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regularintervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. Sowhen the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.41. When the author got inside the barn, he _______.A. noticed a man on the elevatorB. opened the chained sliding doorC. saw many dead mice in the darkD. found a shaft leading to the top42. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?a. The elevator stopped halfway.b. He entered the round grain barn.c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.A. b-a-d-cB. a-c-b-dC. c-a-d-bD. b-a-c-d43. After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.A. inspiredB. relievedC. surprisedD. disappointed44. From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.A. passionsB. dreamsC. curiosityD. imagination（B）Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted”was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.45. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. advantageB. attractionC. adaptionD. attempt46. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.A. attract people to buy their productsB. provide the latest informationC. improve people’s quality of lifeD. deal with cultural diseases47. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.A. consider too much technology wonderfulB. have realized the harm of high-tech devicesC. can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD. may enjoy life better without overused technology48. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A. Neutral.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.(C)Each of us can live strong, healthy, energetic lives for a long time to come. The key？Actually, there are many of them.Eat fewer calories, but more foodSlimming down can help prevent disease, and cutting way back on the amount you eat may even slow the aging process. When nutrition researchers invited themselves over for dinner in kitchens across the globe-from Greece to Japan to the state of Pennsylvania--they discovered a stomach-satisfying secret to good health：Pile your plate high with vegetables and fruits, add respectable parts of beans and whole grains, and ignore high-calorie food like cheeseburgers, cream sauces, and fatty meats.Use exercise as an anti-aging vaccineExercise can help you gain a better quality of life as you age. It's no secret that physical activity strengthens muscles, burn calories, and puts a happy bounce in your step. But recently, researchersdiscovered a new, extra benefit：Exercise acts as a powerful way against the aging process itself. When exercise physiologists put health y people aged 60 to 85 on Weight-training programs for six months then tested them for signs of free-radical(自由基) damage, they were surprised by the results. By the end of the study, low-intensity exercisers had a drop in free-radical damage, while high-intensity exercisers had a slight increase.Find something interesting to doLife is always busy no matter what your age. But the truth is, when people are retired, time usually does become more available for adults after 60. With this time come choices. The easy one is merely to relax：watch more TV, eat out more often, talk on the phone as much as you want. The better choice? Discover something more meaningful to devote yourself to and do it wholeheartedly.49. Which of the following is what you should eat more?A. Fatty meats.B. Whole grains.C. Cream sauces.D. Cheeseburgers.50. The new discovery of exercise probably is that__________.A. it can help you live a better lifeB. it can strengthen musclesC. it can burn caloriesD. it can prevent aging process51. When do you have more free time according to this text?A. In your fifties.B. Beyond sixtyC. Over seventyD. Before sixty.52. The best title of this text should be "_______".A.
