Sherrard had passion for carpentry(木工) and showed promise at a very young age. “I first got interested in wood -making when I was in Grade 10,”he says. “I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the shop classes.”“I real ized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,”he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turn ed my dad’s little shop into my own woodworking shop.” His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.“The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skill set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,” he says. “I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss , who has been doing this for many years, is still learning new things all the time.”Sherrard’s passion for his skill has brought him this far but his thirst for learning keepspushing him further. He’s already planning to go back to school to study engineering.61. What can we know about WorldSkills Competition?A. It provides professional training.B. It is a top event for skilled youth.C.

Confidence.C. Honour.D. Interest.65. What might Dustin Sherrard do next?A. Retum to school to study.B. Find a’ better job.C. Take part in more competitions.D. Work together with his uncle.CDo you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human ( and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate (切断) them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police if the sensors should detect an intruder (不速之客). This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card — the one you use for shopping — maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just wat ching…66. The author intends to tell us that ________.A. in 2040 we will live without the lights and heatersB. in 2040 we will use much more lights and heatersC. in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automaticallyD. in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters67. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.B. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.C. Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.D. The sensor is multi-functional.68. According to the author, in 2040, new technology _______ .A. will turn everything into sensorsB. will free us from the keys we use todayC. will make the lock out of dateD. will remove all crimes69.

AI am so appreciating my daughters today and all that we learned while we were growing together. I am especially grateful for the activities that centered on kindness and brought joy to us at the same time.At one time we decided to bake bread for the homeless community(社区) on the beach near our home. We took 2 days during each week to bake mini loaves of bread and also took cheese of each person. As this project went on (eventually for more than two years), one of my daughters started having short conversations with each person she gave bread to.Eventually we brought some playing cards and checkers and played with some of the people, too. Soon several of our friends joined us and we began to make full lunches once a week for this community.Years later when I saw one of the previous free lunch receivers, they would come up to me, share a nice memory from that time as well as how much the kindness meant to them and have some friendship with children, too. We had great fun together.Both of my daughters, now grown with kids of their own, still take time to do kind things for others and community service projects and then share that with me. I am grateful for a focus away from self and to find real joy and purpose in being kind.1. What did the author do?A. She enjoyed the visit from those who had been provided with free lunch.B. She began to communicate with people who received food.C. She baked bread for people around with kindness.D. She purchased and gave out playing cards and checkers alone.2. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. the author achieved great success due to great effortsB. the author wanted to get appreciation from othersC. the author’s generosity can bring her good luckD. the author’s daughters were influenced by h er behaviors3. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Selfish.B. Modest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-willed.BThe Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language and connect with family and friends.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives —well, that train has left the station. This expression means there is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group — teenagers. The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause heart and kidney(肾)disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia(痴呆), a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people from 14 to 17 years old participated in it. One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Inte rnet users.” Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure.The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn’t consume us.” For th e purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity.”4. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A. The train has stopped at the wrong station.B. There is something wrong with the train.C. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.D. The train has changed its course.5. If a person suffers from Dementia, he ________.A. will remember everything clearlyB. will change his characterC. will develop a brain cancerD. can do analysis accurately6. What is the percentage of young “heavy Internet users” with high blood pressure?A. 26%.B. 14%.C. 25%.D. 19%.7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Internet Does Harm to the Study.B. Too Much Internet May Be Bad for Teenagers.C. We Should Stop Using the Internet. .D. High Blood Pressure Is around the Corner.CA man thirsts for adventure. Often the journey is the destination itself, and you can learn a lot from a brief adventure into the wild. Here are four types of outdoor adventures that every man should attempt to take.1. The Ascent(登高)Mountain climbing and backpacking is one way to truly test your limits. It’s a test of mental and physical strength. Besides, it often requires months of preparation. There are plentiful famous mountains notable for being extremely challenging for even the most dedicated climbers. The one thing they all have in common is that they attract a certain type of a person: one with a desire to defeat nature.2. The Solo(单独的) TripGoing out into the wild, alone, is one of the scariest things a lot of people could ever imagine. If you take proper precautions, a solo trip can be a very freeing and rewarding experience. Particularly if you have some heavy things going on in your life — perhaps a failing relationship, switching careers, or financial conflict — getting away from everyone and everything can put you in tune with nature, and with yourself.3. The Open OceanWhether you find yourself in a kayak(皮船), sailboat, or any other kind of water boat, getting out on the water arouses some very special feelings. Nothing quite compares to having a gentle wind in your face, as you stare out at the vast and glassy expanse of the open water.4. Endurance(耐力) ChallengeThis is when you’re serious about putting your life on hold, and getting away from it all. Endurance, in this case, can mean a number of things.Trips like this can last months, and include thousands of miles. But they will test every fiber of your being —psychologically, you’ll be in constant battle. Physically, you’ll be tired and hungry almost all the time. And all of those things make these types of adventures the extreme test of will. You can climb mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes.8. What is the common point of the well-known challenging mountains?A. They appeal to people who are eager to overcome nature.B. They are beautiful enough to attract visitors.C. They are suitable for those who are experienced.D. They draw the attention of people who are well-prepared..9. A person is likely to choose a solo trip when he ________.A. has a stable jobB. makes a big fortuneC. succeeds in finishing a difficult taskD. has trouble in dealing with the relationship10. What can be regarded as an endurance challenge?A. A bike ride across the United States.B. A short trip to the countryside.C. A relaxing walk around a park.D. A pleasant return to nature.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal to more people to take adventures.B. To introduce four types of outdoor adventures.C. To compare four types of outdoor adventures.D. To present the difficulties of four types of outdoor adventures.DUnable to turn its fortunes around, Yahoo is reportedly thinking about selling its pioneering Internet business.The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Yahoo’s board will meet several times this week, during which the company’s directors will consider whether to sell Yahoo’s profitable share in Alibaba, the company’s core (核心) Internet business, or both. A spokesman for Yahoo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has struggled to reverse Yahoo’s years-long decline in sales. The Internet portal’s(门户网站的) bread-and-butter advertising business has recently been surpassed(超越) by Google and Facebook, and the gap between them is only widening.The company has gone through many attempts at a reform over the past decade, choosing to get rid of its once leading search business, then deciding to focus on its media capitals, then putting emphasis on its apps and services — all ending with the same result: Yahoo is failing to take advantage of its massive audience and transform those eyeballs into growing ad sales.Shares of Yahoo have dropped sharply 35% this year. Meanwhile, the bad news keeps piling up for Yahoo. An unfavorable ruling from the IRS means that Yahoo will have to pay taxes when it sells its massive $30 billion share in Alibaba. Activist investor(投资者) group Starboard has asked Yahoo not to sell its Alibaba business and instead look to sell off its core Internet business.It’s unclear what companies or investors might be interested in Yahoo. Microsoft had offered to take over Yahoo for $46 billion in 2008, but Yahoo fought off the deal.Now, Yahoo is worth just over $30 billion. Since that includes the company’s Alibaba and $8.5 billion Yahoo Japan shares, investors have valued Yahoo’s core business as worthless.Yahoo still is one of the most-visited websites in the world. It received 210 million visitors in October, according to comScore, making it the No. 3 site behind Google and Facebook.12. During the meeting of Yahoo’s board, the directors will discuss ________.A. how they will sell Yahoo’s profitable share in AlibabaB. if they will sell Yahoo’s profitable share in AlibabaC. how much of the company’s core Internet busines s they will sellD. who the company’s core Internet business will be sold to13. The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. ignore the present situationB. better improve the situationC. turn it into the opposite situationD. predict the future situation14. According to Paragraphs 4 and 5, what happens to Yahoo?A. Yahoo is faced with continuous difficult circumstances.B. Yahoo doesn’t take its problems seriously.C. Yahoo makes good use of quantities of its audience.D. Yahoo needs to pay taxes if it sells its core Internet business.15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yahoo stressed its apps and services in the beginning.B. Who shows interest in Yahoo is certain at present.C. Yahoo receives the largest number of visitors all the time.D. Yahoo’s value has declined.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn't return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "signed off" in paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting itB. By turning it on and offC. By switching channelsD. By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people ____.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast musicC. Use smaller spoonsD. Turn down the lights28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the "year off" between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good ne ws for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are li kely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxationC. It is increasingly popularD. It is required by universities30. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.32. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional coursesB. Make plans for the new termC. Earn money for their educationD. Prepare for their graduate studiesDChoose Your One-Day-Tours!Tour A - Bath &Stonehenge: including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge -￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum, Stonehenge is one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years.Tour B- Oxford & Startford: including entrance fees to the University St Mary's Church Tower and AnneHathaway's -￡32 until 12 March and ￡36 thereafterOxford: Includes a guided tour of England's oldest university city and colleges.

We can even use it to learn a new language and connect with family and friends.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives — well, that train has left the station. This expression means there is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group —teenagers. The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause heart and kidney(肾)disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia(痴呆), a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people from 14 to 17 years old participated in it. One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users.” Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure.The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn’t consume us.” For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity.”4.

Often the journey is the destination itself, and you can learn a lot from a brief adventure into the wild. Here are four types of outdoor adventures that every man should attempt to take.1. The Ascent(登高)Mountain climbing and backpacking is one way to truly test your limits. It’s a test of mental and physical strength. Besides, it often requires months of preparation. There are plentiful famous mountains notable for being extremely challenging for even the most dedicated climbers. The one thing they all have in common is that they attract a certain type of a person: one with a desire to defeat nature.2. The Solo(单独的) TripGoing out into the wild, alone, is one of the scariest things a lot of people could ever imagine. If you take proper precautions, a solo trip can be a very freeing and rewarding experience. Particularly if you have some heavy things going on in your life — perhaps a failing relationship, switching careers, or financial conflict — getting away from everyone and everything can put you in tune with nature, and with yourself.3. The Open OceanWhether you find yourself in a kayak(皮船), sailboat, or any other kind of water boat, getting out on the water arouses some very special feelings. Nothing quite compares to having a gentle wind in your face, as you stare out at the vast and glassy expanse of the open water.4. Endurance(耐力) ChallengeThis is when you’re serious about putting your life on hold, and getting away from it all. Endurance, in this case, can mean a number of things.Trips like this can last months, and include thousands of miles. But they will test every fiber of your being —psychologically, you’ll be in constant battle. Physically, you’ll be tired and hungry almost all the time. And all of those things make these types of adventures the extreme test of will. You can climb mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes.8. What is the common point of the well-known challenging mountains?A. They appeal to people who are eager to overcome nature.B. They are beautiful enough to attract visitors.C. They are suitable for those who are experienced.D. They draw the attention of people who are well-prepared..9. A person is likely to choose a solo trip when he ________.A. has a stable jobB. makes a big fortuneC. succeeds in finishing a difficult taskD. has trouble in dealing with the relationship10. What can be regarded as an endurance challenge?A. A bike ride across the United States.B. A short trip to the countryside.C. A relaxing walk around a park.D. A pleasant return to nature.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal to more people to take adventures.B. To introduce four types of outdoor adventures.C. To compare four types of outdoor adventures.D. To present the difficulties of four types of outdoor adventures.。
