For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Diane Van DerenOn February 19, 2009, Diane Van Deren was one of a dozen runners taking part in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, a 400-mile race across frozen tundra (苔原)in the middle of winter. Not a single woman (21) ___________(complete) it ever. With temperatures of 30 degrees below zero and only seven hours of daylight each day, it's probably the (22)___________(tough) race in the world. But, then, there is no woman like Diane Van Deren.Twelve years earlier, Van Deren, a former professional tennis player, had a kiwi-size piece of(remove)___________ to treat her epilepsy (癫痫).The operation was successful, but she noticed a strange side effect: she could run without stopping for hours.At the start of the Arctic Ultra, icy winds frozen Van Deren5s water supplies, so she had (24) ___________to drink for the first hundred miles. She kept (25) ___________(go) on with frozen fruit and nut bars. On the eleventh day, the ice (26)___________her feet cracked open and Van Deren fell up to her shoulders into a freezing river. She managed (27) ___________(climb) out but her soaked boots froze to her feet.Yet somehow through it all, Van Deren remained positive, (28)__________ was perhaps helped by another curious byproduct of her operation. "I have a problem with (29) _________ is called short-term memory. I could be out running for two weeks, but (30) ___________someone told me it was day one of a race/" She jokes, “I'd say, Great, let's getstarted!”On February 26, 2009, exactly twelve years after her surgery, Van Deren crossed the finish line of the Arctic Ultra. She was one of eight finishers一and the first and only woman.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. agreementsB. chatteringC. effortsD. feasiblyE. fulfillmentF. hardG. introduced H. morality I. persuaded J. seized K. spoiledHere's to guilt-free flyingMaj a Rosen gave up flying a decade ago out of concern for its environmental impact. But when she became a mother and started hanging out with other parents, she didn't bring it up, even when the conversation turned to flying. It would have _____31_____ the mood.Then in April 2018, her home country of Sweden _____32_____ a tax on aviation (飞行).The climate impacts of flying were on the evening news and the mood changed. Rosen_____33_____ the moment. With her neighbor Lotta Hammar, she launched a campaign called "We stay on the ground", which has_____34_____10,000 people to commit to avoid flights in 2019.Kudos. But here's the _____35_____ truth: in the grand scheme of things, barely anyone will follow suit. The _____36_____ classes tend to have a lot to say about the eco benefits of avoiding meat, cycling and eating locally sourced food. But that _____37_____ generally disappears when it comes to flying.We can't rely on international ___38_____ to stop aviation emission either. Yes, the UN has fixed up a deal to cap aviation emissions beyond 2020. But it lacks real bite, allowing airlines to continue emitting carbon provided they offset (抵消)it.All this means we could really do with green tech riding to the rescue. Here, at least, there is a little good news. Even rather simple measures like freeing planes to fly in straighter lines could _____39_____ cut carbon emissions. Hybrid (混合动力的)electric aircraft are also the pipeline. And we already know that planes can mix up to 50 per cent biofuels into their tanksand fly safely.It's time to redouble our_____ 40_____ to make planes green. In the meantime, if you are still looking for a New Year's resolution, you might want to think about joining those 105000 Swedes.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In summarising the state of the planet—rising population, widespread conflict, one-sixth of the planet suffering extreme poverty and hunger, global warming一Jeffrey Sachs, author of "The Common Wealth、can paint a terrible picture. However, he's an_____ 41_____ and believes that all of these problems can be overcome in relatively straightforward ways and at relatively little cost. That's because the root causes are interconnected and _____42_____ man-made.Take child morality(死亡).Perhaps surprisingly, the higher the child morality rate is, the higher the birth rate. This leads to a _____43_____ population which puts a greater stress on already scarce resources, so farmers have to work harder to produce enough food for all, which means children are often put to work in the fields or at home. This, _____44_____ , stops children getting the education which will allow them to learn, among other things, about better farming techniques to increase crop yields and provide more food to eat and sell. Sachs argues that the_____45_____ of providing every child in poverty with an anti-mosquito bed net is a major first step. Malaria(疟疾)is a huge cause of death in children and the bed nets massively _____46_____ infections. The fewer children that die of malaria, the more secure parents feel about their children surviving. The more secure parents feel, the fewer children they have, and so on, revising the _____47__ trend just described.However, it is _____48_____ a combination of measures at the same time that truly makes a difference: free school meals improve school attendance and health; supplying fertilisers to improve soil and better seeds provides even better harvests; basic health care and clean water supplies_____ 49_____ more fatal diseases.These ideas are already being _____50_____ implemented in over 100 African villages in underdeveloped regions. The cost of the proj ect is just $10 per person per year, of which 50% comes from donors and the rest from a mixture of local and national governments and the villagers themselves.So if it's so _____51_____ , why hasn't it been done before? What about all the aid that has been given to Africa and the underdeveloped countries of the world? Has it been lost to corruption （腐败）? Sachs argues that the real problem is not corruption, but the fact that rich governments have _____52_____ such a lot, but actually given so little. They agreed to give 0.7% of national income in aid, but only five countries have met that _____53_____. He suggests current aid is $24 billion per year, which translates as just ten dollars per person—not nearly enough to implement the _____54_____ measures.So while Sachs sees an opportunity to end poverty forever, he also raises an _____55_____ that this could be the last chance we have, 'The longer we wait, the greater is the suffering and the larger the long-term costs?41.A. economist B. optimist C. expert D. opponent42.A. prospectively B. essentially C. thoughtfully D. refreshingly43.A. declining B. global C. booming D. local44.A. in turn B. by contrast C. on end D. with care45.A. truth B. principle C. solution D. statement46.A. transmit B. specify C. worsen D. reduce47.A. downward B. general C. modem D. previous48.A. describing B. reserving C. adopting D. protesting49.A. modify B. intensify C. prevent D. locate50.A. successfully B. hesitantly C. personally D. worthlessly51.A. popular B. simple C. hard D. strange52.A. spent B. promised C. learned D. featured53.A. requirement B. condition C. challenge D. target54. A. restricted B. standardized C. requested D. combined55. A. alarm B. objection C. amount D. instanceSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）I'm in Marrakech, the heart of Morocco at the base of the Atlas Mountains, with my son, Sam. He's eight. We've come here with Mohamed, a friend who owns a store in our New York neighborhood. We're regular customers at Mohamed's store, where Sam can often be found negotiating with his friend. When they're not bargaining, they're chatting about swords, or camels, or the desert. "You need to come to Marrakech," Mohamed told me. I'll show you around and teach Sam how to really get a bargain!” So here we are.We meet up with Mohamed over a cup of tea at a table outside the tiny Cafe ben Youssef, deep in the old city of Marrakech. We're sitting in an area bordering the stalls of the marketplace. Vendors(小贩)with carts offer freshly squeezed orange juice, others sell dates or figs. Nearby are the workshops that supply the goods to this world-famous market.Later, as we walk around, Mohamed begins the first of his bargaining tutorials for Sam. "Everything in Morocco is open to negotiation, Sam. When you hear a price, the first thing you say is 'Too much一bezqf and then walk away.""But what if I like it?"“When you see something you like, maybe a lamp, you ask about something else instead. Then, as you walk out, you ask, "And how much is that lamp?9 as though you5d just noticed it and aren't really that interested in it."We turn a comer and are greeted with sweet-smelling orange blossoms. "Don't always give an offer. Make them continue to lower the price. Oh, and wear something Moroccan：Mohamed continues, as we enter a fairly large shop. Most of the stalls in Marrakech specialize in one thing, but not this one. Decorative and lethal-looking swords hang beside soft hand-dyed fabrics; large camel bones covered in writing sit beside massive copper lamps. It is here that Sam spots a box. “Look, a treasure chest!” It's made of wood, and painted red and gold. He opens the lid, then closes it. “Cool." Then he spots a tall, cobalt blue, tear-shapedold perfume bottle. "Four hundred dirham,” the shopkeeper pronounces. Fifty dollars. Sam says nothing. Whether he's too shy or is practicing Mohamed's bargaining technique, I can't tell. He eventually agrees to pay 200 dirham, about $24. rd say the bottle is worth $10, at most. Clearly, his negotiating skills need a little work. "Just to get started, Dad,” Sam measures me as he pays for the bottle.56.According to Mohamed, people in Marrakech like__________.A.bargainingB. tradingC. drinking teaD. showing friends around57.What does Mohamed advise Sam to do when he finds something he likes?A.To look for something similar in another shop.B.To complain to the vendor about its high price.C.To conceal his real preference from the vendor.D.To ask the vendor about the price as soon as possible.58.What does the writer imply about Sam's first negotiating experience?A.It is far from successful.B.It costs Sam more than the money he pays.C.It reveals Sam's potential in negotiation.D.It shows that Sam is too shy for negotiation.59.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Shopping Trip.B.The Charm of the MarketC. A Busy City.D.The Art of the Deal(B)The Man Who Ate his Boots is a fascinating account of expeditions that went wrong. The book examines the 19th century search for a route to Asia by way of the Northwest Passage through the Arctic Ocean. Author Anthony Brandt describes the many attempts by both land and sea that ended in failure and tragedy, including the 1845 expedition led by Sir John Franklin. Brandt shows how these brave, yet sometimes foolish, explorers could have avoided starvation, frostbite, and even death if they had copied the survival techniques of the local Inuit people. Some of the more surprising details the book reveals include:IGLOOS The explorers, despite repeatedly watching the Inuit build igloos, insisted on using canvas tents. Tents freeze in sub-zero temperatures and give little protection to anyone inside them. If they had learned to build igloos, the explorers would have been warm even in the worst Arctic weather.SEALSKIN If the explorers had worn sealskin and furs like the Inuit, they wouldn't have suffered from the frostbite that was common among them, but rare among the Inuit.DOG TEAMS Why didn't the British use dog teams to pull their sleds? Pulling sleds themselves was a tradition among many explorers right into the early 20th century It cost Scott and his men their lives on their return from the South Pole in 1912.The British did get something right, however, when Captain Edward Parry grew salad vegetables in boxes on board his ship. It was known that fresh vegetables and fresh meat prevented scurvy (坏血病)，although at that time the reason for this (vitamin C) had not been discovered. Parry's men wouldn't have been as healthy if they hadn't eaten the salads.60.In The Man Who Ate his Boots’ the author mainly ________.A.introduces some foolish explorersB.focuses on some unsuccessful expeditionsC.analyzes the Inuit people's survival techniquesD.explores the advances in equipment used for expeditions61.According to Anthony Brandt, what should the explorers have done?A.They should have learned more about how seals survived in cold water.B.They should have set up more canvas tents to keep themselves warm.C.They should have helped the Inuit people build igloos.D.They should have used dogs to pull the sleds for them.62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.Edward Parry found a way to prevent scurvy by accidentB.Edward Parry's successful voyage was a rare case at that timeC.Edward Parry was the first captain that grew salad vegetables on boardD.Edward Parry's men could have been more healthy if they took vitamin C（C）Everything we know suggests that the universe is unusual. It is flatter, smoother, larger and emptier than a "typical" universe predicted by the known laws of physics if we reached into a hat filled with pieces of paper, each with the specifications of a possible universe written on it, it is unlikely that we would get a universe anything like ours in one pick—or even a billion.The challenge that cosmologists face is to make sense of this specialness. One approach to this question is inflation―the hypothesis(假设)that the early universe went through a stage of fast expansion. At first, inflation seemed to do the trick. A simple version of the idea gave correct predictions for the spectrum of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.But a closer look shows that we have just moved the problem further back in time. To make inflation happen at all requires us to fine-tune the initial conditions of the universe. And unless inflation is highly tuned, it leads to a runaway process of universe creation. As a result, some cosmologists （宇宙学家）suggest that there is not one universe, but an infinite number, with a huge variety of properties: the multiverse. There are an infinite number of universes in the collection that are like our universe and an infinite number that are not. But the proportion of infinity to infinity is undefined, and can be made into anything the theorist wants. Thus the multiverse theory has difficulty making any firm predictions and threatens to take us out of the area of science.These other universes are unobservable and because chance dictates the random distribution of properties across universes, suggesting the existence of a multiverse does not let us get to anything about our universe beyond what we already know. As attractive as the idea may seem, it is basically a sleight of hand, which turns an explanatory failure into an apparent explanatory success. The success is empty because anything that might be observed about our universe could be explained as something that must, by chance, happen somewhere in the multiverse.We started out trying to explain why the universe is so special, and we end up being asked to believe that our universe is one of an infinite number of universes with random properties. This makes me suspect that there is a basic but unexamined assumption about the laws of nature that must be overturned.Cosmology has new questions to answer. Not just what are the laws, but why are theselaws the laws? How were they chosen? We can't just hypothesise what the initial conditions were at the big bang, we need to explain those initial conditions. Thus we are in the position of a computer program asked to explain its inputs. It is clear that if we are to get anywhere, we need to invent new methods, and perhaps new kinds of laws, to gain a scientific description of the universe as a whole.63.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of our universe?A.There are several hypotheses about its early stage.B.There are more than one billion universes similar to ours.C.It is expanding at a greater speed that it did at the stage of the big bang.D.It is different from the predictions made according to the laws of physics.64.What does the writer imply about the hypothesis of inflation?A.It hasn't been challenged.B. It doesn't make much sense.C. It is by far the most reasonable approach.D. It is the simple version of a complicated idea.65.Which word in the passage is similar in meaning to the phrase "sleight of hand" (paragraph4)?A.processB. predictionC. trickD. infinity66.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer___________.A.believes the idea of the multiverse will help us to understand our universe betterB.argues there is a fixed proportion of universes like ours to those unlike oursC.holds computer programs can work better than humans in cosmologyD.thinks some laws of nature that we take for granted may be falseSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Unsurprisingly, when his customers heard about the jokes they didn't see the funny side and the share price of the company crashed.B. All I can say is that it's just as well I'm not famous!C. The same is not true for everyone, particularly if you are famous.D. What makes things worse for the famous is that these mistakes become even more widely publicised because of 24-hour news channels and websites.E. This is the kind of thing many people might do privately when they get together with colleagues after work.F. As a result, what was private suddenly became public.Silly Mistakes Hit the HeadlinesWe have probably all had moments when we said the wrong thing. I certainly have. There was the time at university when I met a friend in a coffee bar after class and immediately started complaining about our tutor, who was called Dr Gray. I was going on and on about how miserable she was一strict, boring, unfriendly—and my friend wasn't really saying much. After a minute or so, she interrupted me and said, 'Um, I think I should introduce you'. She then turned to this other student who I hadn't really noticed up till then and said, "This is Tracy. Tracy Gray'!Fortunately, the result of putting my foot in it was only an awkward moment and a stony silence. Maybe my friends thought a little less of me, maybe they thought I was an idiot, but no real harm was done. __________67__________Take Gerald Ratner. He was the multimillionaire owner of a chain of shops that sold cheap jewellery. In what was supposed to be a light-hearted speech to some fellow businessmen, he joked about the quality of some of his products. He said some earrings were 'cheaper than a sandwich, but probably wouldn't last as long'. Other products could be sold at such low prices because they were rubbish. __________68__________ Ratner had to resign as director and shortly afterwards the company was taken over by a competitor.In some ways, Ratner could be seen as unfortunate in that he was in a semi-private meeting with friends and colleagues he was at ease with, but there happened to be a journalist there. __________69__________ And with the rise of social media, there have been plenty of others who have been caught out by the increasingly vague boundaries between our private and public faces. For example, a group of flight attendants made jokes about the engines on their planes failing and complained about their airline and clients (客户).__________70__________ Unfortunately, they did it publicly on Facebook and it led tothirteen of them being fired.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.Cities in the SeaThey may be small, but they build big things! Coral polyps (珊瑚虫), which live in the warm, shallow parts of the Earth's oceans, are probably the biggest builders on the planet. Coral polyps turn calcium from seawater into a hard material called limestone. Slowly, they build up a hard skeleton (骨架) around their bodies. When polyps die, their skeletons remain. Young polyps attach themselves to the old skeletons and make new skeletons. Over time, weird and wonderful shapes are slowly built up into amazing coral reefs （珊瑚礁）.Scientists sometimes think of coral reefs as underwater cities. A quarter of all known marine species live in reef habitats―there are nearly a thousand coral species. Reefs are also home to millions of sea creatures, like fish, crabs, turtles, and sharks.Humans don't live in coral reef cities, but we benefit from them. Reefs create jobs for people in the fishing industry and other related businesses. Coral reefs are also popular for divers一many countries benefit from the tourists that they attract. Lastly, chemicals from reef creatures help scientists create new medicines, which help doctors treat different illnesses.Coral reefs are very important, yet we don't take good care of them. Environmental problems have already killed about twenty percent of the world's reefs. About half of the remaining reefs are dying, and experts believe all of Earth's coral reefs will be in danger by 2050.Why are the reefs in such trouble? For one thing, people catch too many reef fish and often damage the reefs—divers sometimes break off pieces of coral.Polluted water also causes problems because reef-destroying algae grows in dirty water. Even air pollution hurts coral reefs. Global warming causes warmer ocean water, which can cause polyps to lose helpful algae. Without that algae, coral turns white. This is called "bleaching”，and if it continues, the coral dies.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.不努力一把，怎么知道人生会不会有更多的可能？（If）73.过去的三年里，这个曾经无人问津的小村庄吸引了大量游客。

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewestpossible words.In today’s world, the most successful companies are the ones who understand how important it is to make contacts around the world. However, doing business in different countries is very rarely simple. It is important to be aware of the local customs and traditions of the people you are dealing with, which is the best way to impress your hosts.One example that comes to mind is of a German company that recently tried to gain a new contract in South Korea. The German visitors arrived at the Korean company’s office early in the morning and spent the whole day in long meetings. By the evening, the Germans were so tired that they politely declined the Korean’s invitation to go out for dinner and drinks, since they wanted to return to their hotel and get some rest. The Germans did not understand that in South Korea business talks often continue into the evening. The Germans only came to realize that they offended their hosts after they had lost the contract.In Europe or the USA, business is rarely discussed into the evening. However, it is important to be on time for a meeting. If you are late, your hosts may think you do not care. In fact, it is better to arrive at least ten minutes before the meeting starts. This way, you can show how keen you are to do business with them, and you will also have time to talk with your hosts before you sit down to discuss business.However, in many countries meetings may not start on time. There are a number of reasons for this, such as transport difficulties due to poor roads, unusual weather and the cost of cars. Sometimes the time of day is also important. In South America and many countries in southern Europe, people have a short sleep for a couple of hours after lunch. Therefore, if you try to arrange a meeting for the early afternoon, you may find that not many people will attend, or that you hosts will be in a bad mood.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. In Korea, what confuses many western businessmen is _______._____________________________________________________________________________82. In the West, what does a businessman do if he wants to show a keen attitude to the business ina negotiation?_____________________________________________________________________________83. Where is it common for people to have a nap after lunch?_____________________________________________________________________________84. According to the passage, it can be concluded that _______ helps a company make goodcontacts in different countries._____________________________________________________________________________4.第II卷I.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)American parents usually think that their child （25）have less pocket money than the children whom he often connects with even if they are wealthier. And they don’t expect their children to compare with the richer if some conditions make （26） impossible for the children to get the same pocket money （27） the children in the neighborhood.The pocket money is not controlled by the parents, because a child can learn to use money correctly （28）dealing with it himself. If a 7 –year –old child gets one dollar as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he can’t know （29） the real use for the money is. The children can use part of his pocket money to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough that parents can take the child to the bank, （30）（open）a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain amount of his pocket money into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry by entry （存入）is made. He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how （31）（manage） money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. If a boy can’t join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him, he is a sorry child.（B）Have you ever lain in the sun, ___(32) (enjoy) the entertainment of reading a newspaper? Have you ever sat in an underground railway, killing your boring time by turning a newspaper? If you have made it, there is no doubt_ (33)__you may not deny the importance of newspapers as a popular medium.Newspapers provide us with great convenience. (34) the electric media like televisions and computers offers us another way to obtain information, their generation by electricity limits their uses indoors. On the other hand, newspapers may be carried (35) we plan to. In addition, their small size and light weight will surely spare our effort to take them.__(36) advantage of newspapers lies in their non-pollution. It may be said without fear ofexaggeration that almost all those electronic media do harm to people’s health. (37) (take)televisions for example: exposures to radiations (辐射), a kind of pollution, from them in the longrun will damage people’s health, (38) (especial) for pregnant women. The same case can also befound in computers. Newspapers, by contrast, are made of natural materials. Therefore nopollution will be given off nor are people subjected to the risk of illness when they read anewspaper.It is true that electronic media also has some superior (39) newspapers. They can give usmore direct information, not only by words but by sounds and pictures as well. But regardingnewspapers as a medium of the past is (40) apparent understanding, far from the truth.

A. reluctant B. disappointed C. painfulD. ashamed65. A. weaker B. bigger C. smallerD. strongerSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal expertsmay not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.66. A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A. pretending to be injuredB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. getting closer to its young67. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps are jealous of the winnersC. chimps are sometimes dishonestD. chimps can be selfish too68. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.69. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How do animals learn to lie?B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?C. Do animals lie?D. How does honesty help animals survive? （B）“My kids really understand solar and earth-heat energy,”says a second-grade teacher in Saugus, California. “Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course.” These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and more.The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and predict its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. “Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,”says the teacher who developed this program. “They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected “official” and “planning group” makes all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children's own standards.70. The Program is designed to __________.A. develop children's problem-solving abilitiesB. train young scientists for city planningC. direct kids to build solar collectorsD. train kids to be future architects71. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom to ___________.A. find out kids' creative ideasB. help kids with their programC. give children lecturesD. discuss with the teacher72. Who is the designer of the program?A. A teacher.B. An architect.C. An official.D. A scientist.73. The children feel free in the program because they _____________.A. can design future buildings themselvesB. need not worry about making mistakesC. are given enough time to design modelsD. have new ideas and rich imagination(C)Stonehenge（巨石阵）may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.After a two-week dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England”because of the existence of “bluestones”---the smaller columns of dolerite（辉绿岩）that formed an earlier stone structure.By dating pieces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000BC. Professor Wainwright added: “I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We’re able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why---all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”The research reveals the importance of the henge’s famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects---the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research,Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the “Amesbury Archer”---a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee---whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument. 74．Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people .A．to recover from poor health B．to observe star movementsC．to hold religious ceremonies D．to gather huge bluestones75．What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?A．The springs could cure coughs and heart disease best.B．The new discovery was the same as what had been expected.C．Some huge bluestones were not produced at Stonehenge.D．The original bluestone circle was thought to be constructed around 2000BC.76．The sick traveler in the passage is supposed to be .A．a devoted religious person from StonehengeB．one of the earliest discoverers of StonehengeC．the first explorer to test the magical power of bluestonesD．a patient trying to cure his infection at Stonehenge77．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A．Stonehenge: A New Place of Interest B．Stonehenge: Still Making NewsC．Stonehenge: Heaven for Adventurers D．Stonehenge: Still Curing PatientsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work.Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon V aldez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation.So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency（透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 78. Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities.79. Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage.80. With the emphasis on opportunity, the third layer of CSR is meant to_________.81. According to the passage, "good business" (paragraph 6) means that corporations ________ while making p rofits.第II卷（共47分）I.

Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Of the many factors that contribute to poor performance on standardized tests like the SAT, nerves and exhaustion, surprisingly, (21) ______ not rank very high. In fact, according to a new paper published in Journal of Experimental Psychology, a little anxiety – not to mention fatigue – might actually be a very good thing.The study was conducted by psychology professors Phillip Ackerman and Ruth Kanfer. They recruited 239 college freshmen, each (22) ______ (agree) to take three different versions of the SAT reasoning test (23) ______ (give) on three consecutive Saturday mornings. The tests would take three-and-a-half hours, four-and-a-half hours and five-and-a-half-hours, and would be administered (24) ______ a random order to each of the students. (25) ______ (boost) the stress level in the students – who had already taken the SAT in the past and gotten into college – Ackerman and Kanfer offered a cash bonus to any volunteers who (26) ______ (beat) their high-school score.(27) ______ the test began on each of the three Saturdays, the students filled out a questionnaire that asked them about their fatigue level, mood and confidence. They completed the questionnaire again at a break in the middle of the test and once more at the end. Together, all of these provided a sort of fever chart of the students’energy and anxiety during the experience.When the researchers scored the results, it came as no surprise that volunteers’fatigue and stress rose steadily (28) ______ the test got longer. (29) ______ was unexpected was their corresponding performance: as the length of the test increased, so (30) ______ the students’scores.

The app feeds on a collective ____31____ that we are missing out on something, whether it’s a fabulous party, a pop-up sale, or the mere concept of vacation. But the same concept doesn’t quite ____32____ to parents sharing pictures of their young children online. There certainly may be an element of proud boasting: “Admire my little son’s taste in jazz,” etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day _____33_____. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience ____34____, connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____35_____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____36_____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The _____37_____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____38_____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.”How long will it be until someone ___39_____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____40____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.III. Reading Comprehension 45%Section A 15%Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)You can actually catch a good mood or a bad mood from your friends, accordingto a recent study in the journal Royal Society Open Science. But that shouldn’t stop you from ___41___ with pals who are down in the dumps, say the study authors: ___42___, the effect isn’t large enough to push you into depression.The new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that happiness and sadness—as well as lifestyle and behavioral factors like smoking, drinking, obesity, fitness habits and even the ability to concentrate—can ___43___ across social networks, both online and in real life. But while many ___44___ studies have only looked at friendship data at one point in time, this is one of the few that measured social and mood changes over time.The new research involved groups of junior-high and high-school students who took part in ___45___ screenings（筛查） and answered questions about their best friends, many of whom were also enrolled in the study. In total, 2,194 students were included in the ___46___, which used a mathematical model to look for connections among friend networks.Overall, kids whose friends suffered from bad moods were more ___47___ to report bad moods themselves—and they were less likely to have improved when they were screened again six months to a year later. When people had more happy friends, ___48___, their moods were more likely to improve over time.Some symptoms related to depression—like helplessness, tiredness and loss of interest—also seemed to follow this ___49___, which scientists call “social contagion.” But this isn’t something that people need to ___50___, says lead author Robert Eyre, a doctoral student at the University of Warwick. Rather, it’s likely just a “___51___ empathetic response that we’re all familiar with, and something we recognize by common sense,” he says. In other words, when a friend is going through a rough patch, it makes sense that you’ll feel some of their ___52___, and it’s certainly not a reason to stay away.The study also found that having friends who were clinically depressed did not ___53___ participants’ risk of becoming depressed themselves. “Your friends do not put you at risk of illness,” says Eyre, “so a good course of action is simply to ___54___ them.” To boost both of your moods, he suggests doing things together that you both ___55___—and taking other friends along to further spread those good feelings, too.”41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information givenin the passage you have just read.(A)For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets，and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history hasthe car and been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk,the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience--one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become moredenser, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”--are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.56. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators.B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.57. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______A. to contrast their functions with elevators’B. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain people’s preference for elevators58. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from otherlife experiences?A. Vertical directionB. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space.D. Uncomfortable conditions.59. The author urges readers to consider______.A. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators in city developmentD. the relationship between cars and elevators(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

As he looked back over his short life, the Dutchman found little to celebrate among the endeavors of his faltering career. By conventional, middle-class standards, he was a failure. After a couple of dead-end teaching jobs in England, as well as a short, forgettable spell working in a bookshop in Dordrecht, he moved to Amsterdam to become a minister of religion, following in his father’s footsteps. At the end of 1878, he set off for the depressed coalmining district of the Borinage to the west of the city of Mons in Belgium, determined to establish himself as a preacher(牧师) to the working class.There, he lived in a humble hut, gave away much of his money, and changed his smart clothes into the practical work-wear of the “Borins.” Unfortunately, he was not a gifted speaker, so his meetings were sparsely attended. His inability to connect with the local coalminers was compounded by a practical, linguistic difficulty: he couldn’t make head or tail of their quick-fire regional dialect known as “Walloon French,” while they were mystified by his own attempts at French,which to their ears sounded overly formal. In July 1879, only half a year after he had arrived in the region, he received another setback: the authorities terminated his trial religious appointment.Yet it was at this rock-bottom moment that van Gogh, now 26, started to draw. “I often feel homesick for the country of paintings,” he wrote to his brother Theo in the summer of 1880. He felt sympathy for the working-class miners. For the first time in his life, middle-class van Gogh was friends with poor, working-class people. The people were poor and illiterate, and their work was hard and dangerous. Yet for van Gogh, there was some kind of bigger truth in their simple way of life. After he became an artist, he chose to find his subject matter there. Like artists that he admired, such as Jean-Francois Millet, he wanted to portray the life of working-class people, and he remained interested in doing so certainly for the first half of his career. Really, it stayed important to him forever. In addition to this general concern for everyday reality and the rural poor, particular themes that van Gogh encountered in the Borinage would later feature prominently in his art. As he once put it in a letter: “It was in the Borinage that I began to work from nature for the first time.”Few works from van Gogh’s Borinage period survived, because the artist burned most of them. As he revealed in a letter to a friend, he felt they were too clumsy or related to an uncertain time when he was still developing his own style and artistic voice.63. What happened to Vincent van Gogh in 1878?A. He learned a lot from different jobs.B. He felt dissatisfied with his career.C. He was a member of the working class.D. He became the apprentice of his father.64. Why did van Gogh have difficulty communicating with the local miners?A. The miners didn’t appreciate his dressing style.B. Their French wasn’t agreeable in each other’s ear.C. His French pronunciation wasn’t standard.D. He had trouble in making a speech.65. What can we infer from the passage?A. Van Gogh interacted with working-class people all through his life even thoughhe was born middle-class.B. Van Gogh and Jean-Francois Millet both found inspiration from the rural peoplein the Borinage.C. Van Gogh’s paintings in the Borinage mirrored the life of working-class people.D. Van Gogh ruined many of his works in the Borinage because his artistic voicewas unheard then.66. What is the proper title of the passage?A. The Subject of van Gogh’s Works.B. The Turning Point of Van Gogh’s Life.C. The Way van Gogh Viewed His Art.D. The Working Class and Van Gogh’s success.Section C 8%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. You are only allowed to purchase a firearm if you have had a background checkand meet certain legal requirements.B. There have been many enlightening articles on gun control in America.C. If you were to visit the United States for two months, the only gun you mightsee is in a museum or on a police officer.D. Less than fifty percent of homes in the United States own weapons, and many ofthose homes are in rural areas where guns may have a greater use.E. More people are deciding to legalize their gun transactions instead of buyingthem on the black market.F. What alarms people the most about American gun culture are the illegal guns and shooting.Guns have a special place in American culture, and though not everyone agrees on whether or not they are a good thing, there is no mistaking that they will be part of the cultural landscape for some time. To answer the question, no, not everyone has a gun._____67_____. Americans use guns for one of two uses: either for sport, where they can use them on firing ranges or for hunting in approved areas, or for self-protection. The latter is where most people begin to take sides, either arguing for the removal of guns from society or allowing more people to have them. There are organizations and community groups for both sides and both sides have strong feelings.Legally, there are restrictions on gun owners._____68_____. Only certain kinds of weapons can be purchased by the public, and that excludes automatic weapon and military grade weaponry Gun owners must transport their weapon in a safe way, unloaded and in most cases, out of sight. Special—concealed carry permits from the police station must be obtained for people who want to wear weapon, and most people are rejected for this kind of permit. ______69______. Criminals steal guns or buy them illegally to commit crimes, and the news is terrible stories of what happened next. Occasionally a child will get a hold of legal weapon and accidentally hurt themselves or others.It is important to remember, however, that the news stories that make the United States seem like a dangerous place are deceiving; guns are not everywhere or constant.______70_____. After all. America is a safe place to live.IV. Summary Writing 10%Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are learning more about its causes.The first environmental cause of shyness many be a child’s home and family life. Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbours and friends. Because of their lack of social skills, they may begin to feel socially inhibited, or shy, when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In a large study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy. Researchers Henderson and Zimbardo say, “One expectation is that in Japan an individual performance success is credited externally to parents, teachers, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.” Therefore Japanese learn not take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years .Due to our huge advances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults, too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives. Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.V.

高三英语试题1II. Grammar and vocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)American parents usually think that their child （25）have less pocket money than the children whom he often connects with even if they are wealthier. And they don’t expect their children to compare with the richer if some conditions make （26）impossible for the children to get the same pocket money （27）the children in the neighborhood.The pocket money is not controlled by the parents, because a child can learn to use money correctly （28）dealing with it himself. If a 7 – year – old child gets one dollar as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he can’t know （29）the real use for the money is. The children can use part of his pocket money to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough that parents can take the child to the bank, （30）（open）a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain amount of his pocket money into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry by entry （存入）is made. He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how （31）（manage）money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. If a boy can’t join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him, he is a sorry child.（B）Have you ever lain in the sun, ___(32) (enjoy) the entertainment of reading a newspaper? Have you ever sat in an underground railway, killing your boring time by turning a newspaper? If you have made it, there is no doubt_ (33)__you may not deny the importance of newspapers as a popular medium.Newspapers provide us with great convenience. (34) the electric media like televisions and computers offers us another way to obtain information, their generation by electricity limits their uses indoors. On the other hand, newspapers may be carried (35) we plan to. In addition, their small size and light weight will surely spare our effort to take them.__(36) advantage of newspapers lies in their non-pollution. It may be said without fear ofexaggeration that almost all those electronic media do harm to people’s health. (37) (take)televisions for example: exposures to radiations (辐射), a kind of pollution, from them in the longrun will damage people’s health, (38) (especial) for pregnant women. The same case can alsobe found in computers. Newspapers, by contrast, are made of natural materials. Therefore nopollution will be given off nor are people subjected to the risk of illness when they read anewspaper.It is true that electronic media also has some superior (39) newspapers. They can give usmore direct information, not only by words but by sounds and pictures as well. But regardingnewspapers as a medium of the past is (40) apparent understanding, far from the truth.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.66. A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A. pretending to be injuredB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. getting closer to its young67. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps are jealous of the winnersC. chimps are sometimes dishonestD. chimps can be selfish too68. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.69. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How do animals learn to lie?B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?C. Do animals lie?D. How does honesty help animals survive?（B）“My kids re ally understand solar and earth-heat energy,” says a second-grade teacher in Saugus, California. “Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course.” These young scientists are part of City Building Educational Program (CBEP), a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading,writing and math skills, and more.The children don't just plan any city. They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and predict its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. “Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom,” says the teacher who developed this program. “They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected “official” and “planning group” makes all the design decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.”CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the children's own standards.70. The Program is designed to __________.A. develop children's problem-solving abilitiesB. train young scientists for city planningC. direct kids to build solar collectorsD. train kids to be future architects71. An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom to ___________.A. find out kids' creative ideasB. help kids with their programC. give children lecturesD. discuss with the teacher72. Who is the designer of the program?A. A teacher.B. An architect.C. An official.D. A scientist.73. The children feel free in the program because they _____________.A. can design future buildings themselvesB. need not worry about making mistakesC. are given enough time to design modelsD. have new ideas and rich imagination(C)Stonehenge（巨石阵）may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthedat the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.After a two-week dig, scientists have concl uded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England” because of the existence of “bluestones”---the smaller columns of dolerite（辉绿岩）that formed an earlier stone structure.By dating pieces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000BC. Professor Wainwright added: “I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We’re able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why---all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”The research reveals t he importance of the henge’s famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects---the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research, Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the “Amesbury Archer”---a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee---whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument. 74．Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people .A．to recover from poor health B．to observe star movementsC．to hold religious ceremonies D．to gather huge bluestones75．What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?A．The springs could cure coughs and heart disease best.B．The new discovery was the same as what had been expected.C．Some huge bluestones were not produced at Stonehenge.D．The original bluestone circle was thought to be constructed around 2000BC.76．The sick traveler in the passage is supposed to be .A．a devoted religious person from StonehengeB．one of the earliest discoverers of StonehengeC．the first explorer to test the magical power of bluestonesD．a patient trying to cure his infection at Stonehenge77．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A．Stonehenge: A New Place of Interest B．Stonehenge: Still Making NewsC．Stonehenge: Heaven for Adventurers D．Stonehenge: Still Curing PatientsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon V aldez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation.So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency（透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitiveadvantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 78.
