One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson fann. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Bonogee paddock.

But the air was still ftill o f smoke and fallen trees had blocked the ti ack. Jack was just going to him back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited.

But she rode back to the fann wit h Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack's horse. The ride back to Bonogee was temble.

Dr. Aiken studied a munber of couples who had been mairied for at least hventy-five year s. Each couple provided four photogiaphs-one photo of each partner at the time of th eir maniage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All bac kground was cut fiom the photos to remove any chies. The photos were then displaye d in gi oups: a random giouping of the persons at thetime of their mamage and anothe r random grouping of the same persons who took photogi aphs later. Some testees wer e asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first gioup. Their judgeme nts were no better than chance. But with the photos taken hventy-five or more years af ter the maiTiage. the testees were quite successftil with the most happily-manied coup les.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as some one else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the fa ces of their loved ones. u Another possible reason J he says, “is the common experienc e of the couples." There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21.Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos fbr the piupose ofA.imitating the coupleslifeB.grouping the couples againC.leaving no trace fbr the testeesD.giving the testees more chances22.Tlie underlined sentence u Tlieir judgements were no better than chance“ iinpl ies that the testees.A.did a good job in making theii, choices.B.had difficulty in picking out the partnersC.had no chance to make the right judgementsD.did better with the first gioup than with the second23.The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similai, meaning toA. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24.From the passage we can diaw the conclusion that.A.couples who look alike can live longerB.most partners have been proved to grow alikeC.the influence between partners can be quite strongD.happily-mamed couples are often richer than others25.The main piupose of the passage is to.A.explain why couples glow alikeB.tell how couples like each otherC.discuss the fiuiction of mamageD.describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThieeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) "Of coiir se ril respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these tlii ee little white lies, the worst is the third. Ifs the only one that can nev er be tine. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know wha t theclerk is sure to say,“ It was a computer error." Nonsense. The computer is reporti ng nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most amioying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery st ore shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points o ut the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and o ffer the famil iar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn't, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an elect ric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code-chat bar of black and white line s ina comer of the package-and then checks the code against a price list stored in m emory. If the price list is right, you'll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboar d and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two expla nations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer erroi” is supposed to e xcuse everytliing.One reason we let people hide beliind a computer is the common misperception t hat huge, modem computers are ele ctric brain with “artificial intelligence.^ At some p oint there miglit be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest co mputer on Earth riglit now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point i n the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has iiistnicted it to do.26.Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer it self.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. caimot make the enorD. does not admit its eiTor27.According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just.A. a machine to coimt moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC.an instnunent to print codesD.an iiistniment to read codes28.Grocery store price lists are updated by.A. a computerB. a keyboaidC. an employeeD. an electr ic brain29.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers.A. are veiy cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?puters are stupid and inefficient.puter eiTors are due to its dishonesty.puters help stores update the price list.puter errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old coimtiy guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in eac h village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of sendees which were availabl e onone's own doorstep in the late Victorian coxmtryside.Nowadays a tiaveler in niral England miglit conclude that the only village tradesmen still floiuishing were either selling frozen food to the \ illagers or selling antiques to vi sitors. Nevertheless, tliis would really be a false impression. On the suiiace, there has been adecline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supeiinarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and excha nge the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supennaiket • And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those ill the town, but he will deliver anything at any ti me.His assistants think notliiiig of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopp ing lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy fbr some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figiu' e, instantly obtains it fbr them.31.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are.A. still veiy activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flouiishD. pe rsonal to visitors32.The local grocer's shop is expanding because.A.the competition there is weakB.it is a place fbr women to chatC.it provides good personal serviceD.the goods there are more valuable33.Wliich of the following is true about the supeiinarkets?A.Prices there are much liigherB.Customers often have to queue up.C.Customers can order by telephone.D.Their personal services are satisfactoiy34.How do the village grocet's assistants feel about giving extra seivice?A.They don't think it a tionble.B.They don't think it worthwhile.C.They don't consider it a good deal.D.They don't consider it a pleasant experience.35.One special featiu e of the village shop is that.A.there is a very wide range of goods availableB.customers can order goods by word of mouthC.customer have to order goods one hour earlierD.there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Abcabulary and Stnictiire (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Read the following passages and choose the best answer for each question.Passage 1Gifted children can be a joy to teach, but they can also be a challenge. Some teachers don't know what to do with children who are already reading by age four, or doing multiplication by age five. They may feel uncomfortable with students who think in ways that are more advanced than their own thought processes. Other teachers become resentful, feeling that they have to modify their teaching to accommodate the unique needs of these children.More than any other student, gifted children must be understood and nurtured as the individuals they are. Acurriculum that is too easy for them may lose their interest, making them unmotivated. But a curriculum that is too difficult may make them feel that school is not for them. They may act out or withdraw, simply to avoid the challenge.Gifted children often exhibit a wide range of characteristics. They may talk early, be able to concentrate for long periods of time, or simply understand concepts with a depth that is surprising for their age. They may also be perfectionists, and have a strong sense of justice. They may have an offbeat sense of humor or an ability to see connections where others don't.Teachers can help gifted children by creating an environment that supports their unique needs. They can offer challenging material, such as advanced reading, writing or math problems. They can give these students the freedom to explore topics in depth or pursue their own interests. They can allow them to think outside the box and demonstrate their understanding in unconventional ways. By fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and encouragement, teachers can help gifted children thrive and reach their full potential.1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Gifted children can be difficult to teach.B. Teachers should modify their teaching for gifted children.C. Gifted children have unique characteristics that require support.D. Teachers should push gifted children to achieve more.2. The author suggests that a curriculum that is too easy for gifted children may make them feel __________.A. unmotivatedB. challengedC. smarterD. bored3.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology—Caltech—said this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.” The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech: Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations( 模拟) to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet.“My jaw hit the floor,” said a stronomer(宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around the sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine”, has a mass about 10 time s the size of Earth. If they are right, the newly found planet would be the ninth planet in our solar system. Pluto(冥王星) had been called the ninth planet until 2006, when it was renamed a “dwarf planet.”Actual confirmation of a ninth planet would be very big news. “This would be a real ninth planet,” Brown said in the statement. “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting.”While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine” yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest—and best—telescopes on Earth to try to find “Planet Nine.” They are also working on improving their computer simulations. They want to find out more about “Planet Nine’s” orbit, and its impact on the outer part of our solar system.16.The newly-found planet .A.moves around the SunB.was discovered by two astronomersC.travels a round orbitD.is far away from our solar system17.The possibility of finding a ninth planet made Mike Brown .A.confusedB. frightenedC. satisfiedD. surprised18.According to the scientists,A.the planet is ten times larger than the EarthB.it takes the planet less than 10,000 years to make a full orbitC.Pluto was once thought to be the ninth planet in the solar systemD.Pluto was given a new name after it was discovered in 200619.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that .A.there is no actual confirmation about the ninth planetB.no true planets were discovered in ancient timesC.scientists have found three planets in modern timesD.the ninth planet is the only one discovered since ancient times20.To find “Planet Nine”, scientists are using all the following EXCEPT .A.mathematical modelingB. computer simulationsC. advanced telescopesD. large spacecraftsPassage Two“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are ov er- protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who hover( 悬停) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adull. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activies and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven't forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something.” Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parentsthat their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.21.The term “helicopter parenting”.A.describes parents who give children directions in the airB.was probably invented in the late nineteenth centuryC.gains more meaning as modern technology developsD.refers to parents who concern too much about kids22.According to Lythcott-Haims, over-parenting has all the following f eatures EXCEPT .A.over-directiveB. over-dependentC. over-preventiveD. over-protective23.It can be inferred that a concierge mother will .A.regard the world as very dangerousB.allow children to do whatever they likeC.keep a close eye on the kid’s assignmentD.let the kid alone when he falls on the ground24.In Julie’s eyes, the first-year students at Stanford University are .A.very clever in studyingB.really good at problem-solvingC.unable to communicate with teachersD.having problems making friends25.Lythcott-Haims’ attitude towards helicopter p arenting is .A.supportiveB. negativeC. uninterestedD. unclearPassage ThreeI recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, thiswas a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we realised just how bad they were for the environment!26.Which of the following can be the title of the passage?A.We Love GreenB. We Love EnvironmentC. Music FestivalsD. A Unique Public Event27.What is special about the music festival?A.It has a special band.B. It has a unique program list.C. It is held every weekend.D. It is environmentally friendly.28.At the music festival, guests were encouraged to .A.make furniture from woodB.bring plastic-bottled drinksC.recycle rubbish by themselvesD.drink free fresh water29.According to Paragraph 3, the author .A.fully enjoyed the festivalB. expected muh from the festivalC. found the event very funnyD. liked listening to music at home30.The purpose of this passage is to .A.raise funds for environment protectionB.highlight that being green can be funC.encourage people to go to music festivalsD.introduce the author's favourite musiciansPassage FourChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洞). The eighth- grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to d o something about the pothole problem in my city,” said Chokwe. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends, “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,” Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.” Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available inform ation about the streets of Jackson. “It works by using the city’s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,” Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. As Chokwe and his friends worked on the app, they also went street by street throughout the city. They determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test it.Although the app isn’t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it’s nationwide,” Chokwe says.31.Chokwe Selassie got the idea to develop the app from .A.his own experienceB. a recent news reportC. his friendsD. his mother32.When you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you with .A.a voice reportB. a red lightC. a beeping soundD. a map image33.Drivers can also use Chokwe’s app to .A.report emergency traffic problemsB.look for information other than potholesC.choose safer routes without potholesD.avoid traffic jam caused by potholes34.To develop the app, Chokwe and his friends .A.reported potholes to 311 call systemB.conducted field trips on the streetsC.built their own information databaseD.collected samples in their neighborhood35.We can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe .A.is quite successfulB. is facing difficultiesC. has regained hopeD. has a great ambitionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentence in this part.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of themthere are four choices marked A,B,C and D, choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.Passage OneHave you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the ..Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern ..At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first . president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third . president, was also s fan of the fruit. He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very special environment---low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.16. Many American people do not know that the pawpaw _____A. Was once popular in the .B. Is native to the . onlyC. Has become popular againD. Is a healthy fruit17The pawpaw used to be found mainly _____A. Around NebraskaB. In the eastern .C. All over FloridaD. In New York suburbs18George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are mentioned in paragraph 3 as _____A. American explorersB. Famous politiciansC. Early pawpaw plantersD. Pawpaw lovers19It is difficult to sell the pawpaw on a large scale for the following reasons EXCPEPT that the fruit _____A. Requires a very special environmentB. Has a very short harvest seasonC. Does not taste goodD. Is difficult to preserve after harvesting20.Pawpaw festivals are organized in some states _____A. As a way of celebrating harvestB. As part of the traditional cultureC. To display pawpaw growing techniquesD. To reintroduce people to the fruitPassage TwoThroughout history, humans have suffered from a condition that they have never been able to escape—ageing. Some researchers, however, believe we may be thinking about it in the wrong way. They say we should start treating ageing itself as a disease—one that can be prevented and treated.Their hopes are founded on recent discoveries that suggest biological ageing may be entirely preventable and treatable. From a biological preventive, the body ages at different rates according to genetic and environmental factors. Tiny errors build up in our DNA and our cells begin developing faults that can grow into tissue damage, which leads to ageingand ageing—related diseases.One of the leading figures in human life research, Aubrey De Grey, explains in an interview that their goal is to develop a set of therapies for middle-aged and older people that will leave them physically and mentally equivalent(相当的) to someone under the age of 30. “Of course, without wiping their memories,” he adds. But he doesn’t think that is will be possible to stop ageing altogether. He sees a future where “rejuvenation technologies” can be applied to old people in order to revert their cells to what they were like when they were in their youth, buying them extra time. The idea is that someone who is treated at the age of 60 will be biologically reverted to 30. But because the therapies are not permanent fixes. Their cells will end up becoming 60 years old again in another 30 years time.21.By “treating ageing itself as a disease”, some researchers mean _____A. Aged people are liable to diseasesB. Ageing can be dealt with like a diseaseC. Ageing is a disease hard to cureD. Ageing should be treated carefully22.Humans age at different rates due to _____ reasons.A. PhysicalB. BiologicalC. Genetic and environmentalD. DNA and cell-related23.The goal of De Grey’s research is to _____.A. Freeze people’s ageB. Make people youngerC. Stop ageing altogetherD. Adjust people’s memories24.What does “rejuvenation” possibly mean?A. Relating to cellsB. Relating to genes.C. Becoming healthy.D. Becoming young.25. What will happen if someone is treated with De Grey’s technology?A. He will stay young for a longer timeB. He will no longer grow old.C. He will live up to at least 60 years old.D. He will not get ageing-related diseases.Passage ThreeWhen jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesn’t see just the stars. He sees his future. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer space and the alien(外星的) beings he thinks might live there.In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officer and decided he was the right person for the job. The position, which focuses on preventing astronauts from accidentally bringing extremely small, potentially dangerous alien life-forms back to Earth and ensuring that astronauts do not take Earth-based germs with them into space, pays from $124,406 to $187,000 per year.Jack wrote a letter to NASA, noting his qualifications for the job. “My sister says I am an alien,” Jack wrote, pointing out that since he is young, he can “learn to think like an alien.” He signed the letter “Jack Davis, Guardian of the Galaxy.”Within days, Jack received a personal letter from NASA’s planetary science director, James L. Green. “We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us,” Green wrote.”I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!”Jack said he was “shocked” when Green’s response arrived. “I shouted, I got a letter from NASA!”Green says he loves to answer letters from children. He calls his response a “gravity assist.” Spacecraft use gravity assistance fromobjects like planets and moons to help power the craft toward another celestial(天上的) body. Green hopes a reply can influence a person’s path in life in a similar way.26. Which of the following can best describe Jack Davis?A. MatureB. Curious.C. Talented.D. Honest27.What is the job responsibility of the planetary protection officer?A. To ensure the mental and physical health of the astronautsB.

Guide young people by giving them a gravity assistD. Explain how Green’s letter serves as a gravity assistPassage FourOnline dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to start a relationship. But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed(有缺陷的).An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselves to forming strong relationships. T hefindings also indicated that the concept of an online profile(介绍) is not entirely useful and “can result in treating potential partners as mere objects”.Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. Ho wever, there are two problems.” First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on , does not reveal much about them. Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said.He compared it to shoppin g at “supermarkets of love” and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions.The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms(算法) employed by sites such as to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing it to having a real estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as two people meeting at random, Dr Finkel explained, adding the chances are no better than finding a relationship by walking into any bar. “There’s no better way to figure out whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,” Dr Finkel said.31.What is the author’s attitude towards online dating?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Neutral32.According to Paragraph 2, online dating _____A. Attracts a limited number of singlesB. Has been widely studied recentlyC.
