21．（6分）My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now，most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”1、What does the passage mainly discuss?A．How to develop a new system.B．The function of the PIN.C．A home for the future.D．Easy life in the future.2、What's the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A．To let readers know why his ideas are new.B．To let readers know how special his house is.C．To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D．To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.3、The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because . A．it has been controlled by computersB．you can make a telephone call anywhereC．it has your favorite music following youD．the writer is able to change his new idea into practice4、What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A．An IT expert. B．A famous doctor.C．An idealist. D．An experienced teacher.22．（8分）It's rare that you see the words "shyness" and "leader" in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent net-workers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards andrisk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flashychit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent. Don't believe me? Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's that I stay with problems longer." Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.1、We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ___________.A．shy people are sensitive to rewardsB．shy people care more about contentC．outgoing people are more careful about chancesD．outgoing people consider what to learn while listening2、The example of Johnny shows ____________.A．shy people are likely to be modestB．hardworking students speak little in publicC．some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD．shy people may have an advantage in discussion3、We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that ____________. A．success results from devotion B．shyness contributes to popularity C．outside reward leads to insistence D．uncertainty counts more than certainty4、The author supports his ideas mainly by ____________.A．giving definitions and presenting research resultsB．explaining problems and providing solutionsC．quoting authorities and making evaluationsD．making contrasts and giving examples23．（8分）I’d like to share a little stor y with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.1、The incident that happened when the author was four______.A．hurt the author’s feeling deeplyB．has puzzled the author ever sinceC．left a deep impression on the authorD．made the author dislike dogs2、What made the author think about the story of about 20 years ago?A．His friend’s attitude.B．The photo of the dog.C．His father’s wound.D．His friend’s suffering.3、The author's friend said harsh words to the author because______.A．he was bad-temperedB．he was suffering the pain of losing his wifeC．he was bothered by an unexpected visitD．they once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author4、What conclusion did the author get from the two stories?A．Misunderstanding should be removed in time.B．Sometimes one will be hurt without any reason.C．Many people think more of themselves and less of others.D．Many factors will affect one’s behavior.5、What’s the author’s advice to us?A．Help those in need.B．Look before you leap.C．Learn to understand others.D．Tolerance is a kind of virtue.24．（8分）Earlier this month, two rock climbers achieved what many thought impossible: They climbed up the 3,000-foot-high Dawn Wall in Yosemite National Park without specialized equipment. Climbing without this equipment is called “free-climbing.” Until now, no one had free-climbed to the top of the rock face, which is a part of the mountain EI Capitan.EI Capitan, which means “the captain” or “the chief” in Spanish, has always presented a challenge to climbers. But the Dawn Wall, on the mountain’s southeast face, is a particularly difficult route to the summit (顶峰). It is a rock formation that is both steep and relatively smooth. This makes free-climbing the rock face seem almost impossible. About seven years ago, professional climber Tommy Caldwell spotted a possible routeup the wall. It took years of planning and preparation, but this month, Caldwell, 36, and his friend Kevin Jorgeson, 30, finally make the climb.Free climbers do use ropes and other basic safety equipment to catch them if they fall —and Caldwell and Jorgeson fell often. Before starting their climb, they broke down their route into 32 sections. Each section was based on a rope length called a “pitch.” The rope was secured into the rock face to catch the climbers if they fell.Caldwell and Jorgeson’s goal was to climb the Dawn Wall without returning to theground. If they fell, they had to start that pitch all over again. The two men started climbing on December 27. They slept in hanging tents, and a team of friends brought them food each day.The men had spent years rehearsing (排练) the movements it would take to get through each pitch. They made it through the fist half of the climb relatively easily. But halfway up, Jorgeson ran into trouble. In one difficult spot, he fell each time he attempted to climb. After 10 days of trying, Jorgeson finally made it to the next pitch.Getting through that troublesome pitch gave both climbers renewed energy. They finished the rest of the climb five days later, on January 14.1、What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain?A．Why the Dawn Wall is a hard challenge.B．Why people prefer climbing El Capitan.C．How to free-climb the Dawn Wall.D．How El Capitan got its name.2、To climb Yosemite’s Dawn Wall, Caldwell and Jorgeson ________.A．received one year’s trainingB．chose the nearest routeC．made thoughtful preparationsD．used special equipment3、What can we learn about this world’s toughest climb?A．It includes 32 different routes.B．It is also the world’s highest climb.C．It was once completed by Caldwell 7 years ago.D．It took the two climbers 19 days to get to the top.4、Which of the following words can best describe Jorgeson?A．Proud but patient.B．Cautious and friendly.C．Brave and determined.D．Imaginative but half-hearted.25．（10分）In 2011, the old style Malta buses were taken off the road and replaced by modern vehicles. Most of the old buses were deserted, a few were sold, and about 100 of them were put into storage in the hope of showing them in a museum atsome stage.A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldn’t have been complete withou t a ride on one of the colorful buses. Until 1973 you could tell the destination of the bus just by looking at its color — Sliema was green and white, Zabbar was red and white with a blue stripe(条纹)etc. . Later, the buses all had numbers. For a while, they were all painted green and white before the ‘final’ orange, yellow and white.In their prime, walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station, you would have found it very difficult to see two buses of exactly the same design. Most of them had locally built bodies. On the front of the buses carried names like Dodge, Leyland, Bedford etc. . You were equally likely to find football pennants(锦旗)and the like decorating the cabs. Real bus experts would have recognized that these were there mainly for decorative reasons, and were seldom an accurate reflection of the vehicle’s origins.Nowadays much more modern buses are to be found at the Floriana bus station. They are more environmentally friendly and possibly even more comfortable than the older types. However, I miss the old buses. I remember, when you boarded your bus, you had to prepare the correct change to pay the usually bad-tempered driver as you got on. If you were seated anywhere near the front, you would have noticed that most drivers sat well to the right of their steering wheel. The reason for this, as any Maltese would tell you, was to leave space for their pet to sit alongside them. I wonder where the pet sits these days.1、What makes a pre-2011 visit to Malta special according to Paragraph 2? A．Traveling in colorful buses.B．Using buses with stripes.C．Painting buses bright colors.D．Telling destinations by different colors.2、Which of the following best explains “prime” underlined in Paragraph 3? A．Painful time. B．Exciting time.C．Moment of fantasy. D．Moment of glory.3、What can we learn about Malta buses when they were popular?A．They were of the same pattern.B．The decorations reflected their origin.C．Most were uniquely designed.D．Only football pennants decorated the cabs.4、How would the author feel about the old style Malta buses?A．Comfortable. B．Environment-friendly.C．Safe. D．Memorable.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）I could see the sky was black up ahead as I came back from a visit up north.
