I’m not very demanding; I don’t need amazing downhill skiing and the Cresta Run. What I want is a few days out with the kids. And, much as I like blue skies and sun in summer, I’d swap it every time for frozen ponds, a hillside covered in fresh snow and ice hanging off the houses. Maddy, 11, wants the same and so, instead of waiting and hoping, we are going to make sure. We are going to Sweden.Winter fun in Sweden is a bit more advanced than in most of the UK. They do snowshoeing, ice-fishing, snow house-building and so on. They also do lots of Father Christmas matter, which Maddy didn’t want: “I’m too old for that kind of nonsense, Dad.”Above all, what Maddy wanted was dogs with puppies. She’s not too old for that.We flew to Lulea, a city at the top of the finger of Baltic Sea that reaches out to the north between Sweden and Finland, almost touching the Arctic Circle, then transferred, with some other winter-hungry families, to woodland houses by the sea. There was plenty of snow and ice,but the guides were keeping a nervous eye on the instrument for measuring temperature, which was dangerously close to zero.“Normally, we are 10C below,”said Roger, our guide, who was also handing out our equipment for the days ahead: snowshoes, boots, gloves and so on. A holiday that provides all the necessary outfits will save you a fortune.52.“I find myself praying for a pr oper winter” because _________.A. winter is much more fun than summerB.

It’s one of the major tap-dancing awards in New Zealand and offers $1000 in prize money to the winner.“I entered because the competition offers a lot of prize money, but also because it attracts a lot of really good dancers from around the country,”Brandon told the Times.“I really like competing."If I’m entering a tap-dancing contest, I want to beat good dancers so I can learn and get better.”Brandon, 16, trains under tutor Simon Watts at the Carter-Chan Dance Performance Centre in East Tamaki, run by his mother Brigid.Mrs Carter-Chan says her talented son wasn’t as prepared for the contest in Tauranga as they would have liked.“It was a real struggle in a way,”she says.“Brandon had worked so hard on his school studies all year and was also quite sick.“One of the dances he was doing, a tango, he had to make up the week of the competition.“It was a different style to what he’s used to and that put pressure on him for the senior tap award.“He was totally out of his comfort zone.”Brandon is having a highly successful 2014. Brandon has only been competing in tap-dancing for two years and is also a highly skilled singer. He earned the people’s choice award, voted on by the viewing audience, at the Xtreme Talent Quest stage performance competition for teenagers in Howick in 2012.The rising star regularly performs in public as a singer and dancer, including as a cast member of the annual Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park entertainment showcase.55.

During samples collected fromthe Apollo task, researchers claimed that the moon featured a magnetic field as strong as 70 microteslas(单位：微特斯拉). That’s compared to 50 microteslas here on Earth. At present, the moon does not have a global magnetic field.Benjamin Weiss, the co-author of the new study, say s, “Earth’s magnetic field is currently 50 microteslas in strength. The early moon may have had a magnetic field that was bigger, maybe up to more than 70 microteslas.”Weiss and Sonia Tikoo, who had their study published in Journal Sciences, suggest that the magnetic field of the moon can be the result of the molten liquid core that our satellite had taken for research. They believe that planets and other bodies move electrically conducting fluids around themselves, thus producing magnetic fields through a process which they compared to a dynamo(发电机). They note that earlier scientists did not understand whether the moon produced the magnetic field itself or if it was due to the outside forces.The group of researchers spent the last six years using new and advanced search methods in order to find strong signals that the moon might have had a magnetic core of its own. They believe that if the moon had a similar inner dynamo, it would allow them to better understand its inside structure and solve a problem scientists have grappled with for years.After several conducting studies, they could not say why the moon actually stopped producing the magnetic field. Researchers are also still confused at how such a small core on the moon could have created the original strong magnetic field it is originally believed to have produced.58. The word " grappled" (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to______.A. exchangedB. dealtC. connectedD. started59. We can infer from the conclusion of Weiss and Tiko o’s research that______.A. the magnetic fields of the moon can produce its electricity owing to the outside forces.B. only planets move electrically conducting fluids around themselves.C. the result of the molten liquid core leads to the magnetic field of the moonD. the moon might have had a magnetic core of its own.60. Which is true about the magnetic field of the moon?A. The moon did not have a global magnetic field in the past.B. The magnetic field of the moon is as strong as that on the earth.C. The satellite took it for finding strong signals.D. The moon could have created the original strong magnetic field due to its core.61. What is the best title of the passage?A. The secret of the magnetic field of the moonB. The result of the magnetic field of the moonC. The moon can produce the magnetic fieldD. The process of the magnetic field of the moonSection C (6%)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statemen ts in the fewest p ossible words.There are about 29,000 deaths annually in the UK from air pollution. PM2.5, carbon and other chemicals are linked to heart and lung diseases as well as cancer. Some particle matter lies in the lungs, while the finest particles can enter the bloodstream, risking damage elsewhere in the body.There are nearly as many deaths now caused by air pollution as there are from smoking, so the main thing is we stop a new generation of children being exposed. It is said government has taken measures to make green air. Such as: Monitoring all over the country and predicting what result it will bring on time; A national plan for dealing with heavily polluting vehicles; Changes to fuel duty to encourage low nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮) vehicles as well as low carbon dioxide(二氧化碳); Financial encouragement for other choices of fuels; Encourage walking and cycling, etc.Our dirty air will simply not clean itself, and this issue is one that will, without the government's involvement, continue to impact on present and future generations. Enough is enough. The government must act on these pieces of advice quickly if we are to improve the qu ality of the air we breathe and protect the nation's heart health."A government spokesperson said there would be a full response to the report in the future, but added: "Clean air is important for people's health and, while air quality has improved greatly in recent decades,we are investing heavily in measures across government to continue this, spending £2 bn since 2011 in green transport."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)62. What harmful matters are connected to heart and lung diseases?63. Give two examples of the measures of making green air according to the passage.64. _________ is the key to improve air quality and impact on our current and future generations.第II卷（共25分）IV.

During samples collected from the Apollo task, researchers claimed that the moon featured a magnetic field as strong as 70 microteslas(单位：微特斯拉). That’s compared to 50 microteslas here on Earth. At present, the moon does not have a global magnetic field.Benjamin Weiss, the co-author of the new study, says, “Earth’s magnetic field is currently 50 microteslas in strength. The early moon may have had a magnetic fieldthat was bigger, maybe up to more than 70 microteslas.”Weiss and Sonia Tikoo, who had their study published in Journal Sciences, suggest that the magnetic field of the moon can be the result of the molten liquid core that our satellite had taken for research. They believe that planets and other bodies move electrically conducting fluids around themselves, thus producing magnetic fields through a process which they compared to a dynamo(发电机). They note that earlier scientists did not understand whether the moon produced the magnetic field itself or if it was due to the outside forces.The group of researchers spent the last six years using new and advanced search methods in order to find strong signals that the moon might have had a magnetic core of its own. They believe that if the moon had a similar inner dynamo, it would allow them to better understand its inside structure and solve a problem scientists have grappled with for years.After several conducting studies, they could not say why the moon actually stopped producing the magnetic field. Researchers are also still confused at how such a small core on the moon could have created the original strong magnetic field it is originally believed to have produced.58. The word " grappled" (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to______.A. exchangedB. dealtC. connectedD. started59. We can infer from the conclusion of Weiss and Tikoo’s research that______.A. the magnetic fields of the moon can produce its electricity owing to the outside forces.B. only planets move electrically conducting fluids around themselves.C. the result of the molten liquid core leads to the magnetic field of the moonD. the moon might have had a magnetic core of its own.60. Which is true about the magnetic field of the moon?A. The moon did not have a global magnetic field in the past.B. The magnetic field of the moon is as strong as that on the earth.C. The satellite took it for finding strong signals.D. The moon could have created the original strong magnetic field due to its core.61. What is the best title of the passage?A. The secret of the magnetic field of the moonB. The result of the magnetic field of the moonC. The moon can produce the magnetic fieldD. The process of the magnetic field of the moonSection C (6%)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statemen ts in the fewest p ossible words.There are about 29,000 deaths annually in the UK from air pollution. PM2.5, carbon and other chemicals are linked to heart and lung diseases as well as cancer. Some particle matter lies in the lungs, while the finest particles can enter the bloodstream, risking damage elsewhere in the body.There are nearly as many deaths now caused by air pollution as there are from smoking, so the main thing is we stop a new generation of children being exposed. It is said government has taken measures to make green air. Such as: Monitoring all over the country and predicting what result it will bring on time; A national plan for dealing with heavily polluting vehicles; Changes to fuel duty to encourage low nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮) vehicles as well as low carbon dioxide(二氧化碳); Financial encouragement for other choices of fuels; Encourage walking and cycling, etc.Our dirty air will simply not clean itself, and this issue is one that will, without the government's involvement, continue to impact on present and future generations. Enough is enough. The government must act on these pieces of advice quickly if we are to improve the qu ality of the air we breathe and protect the nation's heart health."A government spokesperson said there would be a full response to the report in the future, but added: "Clean air is important for people's health and, while air quality has improved greatly in recent decades, we are investing heavily in measures across government to continue this, spending £2 bn since 2011 in green transport."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)62. What harmful matters are connected to heart and lung diseases?63. Give two examples of the measures of making green air according to the passage.64. _________ is the key to improve air quality and impact on our current and future generations.第II卷（共25分）IV.

Americans are no exception. Americans might complain about “blue Monday”when they have to go back to work after the weekend, but most of them put a lot of importance on their job, not only about money but also about social identity. In fact, when Americans are introduced to a new person, they almost always ask each other, “What do you do?”They are really asking, “What is your job or profession?”Today, however, we won’t look at work in terms of what work means socially or psychologically. We’re going to take a look at work in the United States today in three different ways. First, we’ll take a historical look at work in America. Uh, we’ll do that by looking at how things changed for the American worker from the year 1900 to the year of the latest 2010. That is, from the beginning of the twentieth century to recent times. Then we’ll look at how U.S. workers are doing today. And after that, we’ll take a look at some possible reasons for the current economic situation. And finally, we’ll look at what people say about what the government should manufacture in factories.(Now listen to it again, please.)11. What does the “blue Monday”mean?12. Why do Americans put a lot of importance on their jobs?13. Wha t’s the first point discussed in this passage?Section CDirections: In section C, you will hear a longer conversation.

Now the deadlines are near but I have finished neither of them.W: Is there anything I can do for you?M: Well, I guess no one can help me but myself. For the moment, I just need someone to talk to so that I can relieve my stress.W: I know your feeling. Take it easy and say something to me if you like.M: Oh, you are so kind. Thank you!W: Not at all!(Now listen to it again, please.)。

I’m not very demanding; I don’t need amazing downhill skiing and the Cresta Run. What I want is a few days out with the kids. And, much as I like blue skies and sun in summer, I’d swap it every time for frozen ponds, a hillside covered in fresh snow and ice hanging off the houses. Maddy, 11, wants the same and so, instead of waiting and hoping, we are going to make sure. We are going to Sweden.Winter fun in Sweden is a bit more advanced than in most of the UK. They do snowshoeing, ice-fishing, snow house-building and so on. They also do lots of Father Christmas matter, which Maddy didn’t want: “I’m too old for that kind of nonsense, Dad.”Above all, what Maddy wanted was dogs with puppies. She’s not too old for that.We flew to Lulea, a city at the top of the finger of Baltic Sea that reaches out to the north between Sweden and Finland, almost touching the Arctic Circle, then transferred, with some other winter-hungry families, to woodland houses by the sea. There was plenty of snowand ice,but the guides were keeping a nervous eye on the instrument for measuring temperature, which was dangerously close to zero.“Normally, we are 10C below,”said Roger, our guide,who was also handing out our equipment for the days ahead: snowshoes, boots, gloves and so on. A holiday that provides all the necessary outfits will save you a fortune.52.“I find myself praying for a pr oper winter” because _________.A. winter is much more fun than summerB.

During samples collected from the Apollo task, researchers claimed that the moon featured a magnetic field as strong as 70 microteslas(单位：微特斯拉). That’s compared to 50 microteslas here on Earth. At present, the moon does not have a global magnetic field.Benjamin Weiss, the co-author of the new study, says, “Earth’s magnetic field is currently 50 microteslas in strength. The early moon may have had a magnetic field that was bigger, maybe up to more than 70 microteslas.”Weiss and Sonia Tikoo, who had their study published in Journal Sciences, suggest that the magnetic field of the moon can be the result of the molten liquid core that our satellite had taken for research. They believe that planets and other bodies move electrically conducting fluids around themselves, thus producing magnetic fields through a process which they compared to a dynamo(发电机). They note that earlier scientists did not understand whether the moon produced the magnetic field itself or if it was due to the outside forces.The group of researchers spent the last six years using new and advanced search methods in order to find strong signals that the moon might have had a magnetic core of its own. They believe that if the moon had a similar inner dynamo, it would allow them to better understand its inside structure and solve a problem scientists have grappled with for years.After several conducting studies, they could not say why the moon actually stopped producing the magnetic field. Researchers are also still confused at how such a small core on the moon could have created the original strong magnetic field it is originally believed to have produced.58. The word " grappled" (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to______.A. exchangedB. dealtC. connectedD. started59. We can infer from the conclusion of Weis s and Tikoo’s research that______.A. the magnetic fields of the moon can produce its electricity owing to the outside forces.B. only planets move electrically conducting fluids around themselves.C. the result of the molten liquid core leads to the magnetic field of the moonD. the moon might have had a magnetic core of its own.60. Which is true about the magnetic field of the moon?A. The moon did not have a global magnetic field in the past.B. The magnetic field of the moon is as strong as that on the earth.C. The satellite took it for finding strong signals.D. The moon could have created the original strong magnetic field due to its core.61. What is the best title of the passage?A. The secret of the magnetic field of the moonB. The result of the magnetic field of the moonC. The moon can produce the magnetic fieldD. The process of the magnetic field of the moonSection C (6%)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statemen ts in the fewest p ossible words.There are about 29,000 deaths annually in the UK from air pollution. PM2.5, carbon and other chemicals are linked to heart and lung diseases as well as cancer. Some particlematter lies in the lungs, while the finest particles can enter the bloodstream, risking damage elsewhere in the body.There are nearly as many deaths now caused by air pollution as there are from smoking, so the main thing is we stop a new generation of children being exposed. It is said government has taken measures to make green air. Such as: Monitoring all over the country and predicting what result it will bring on time; A national plan for dealing with heavily polluting vehicles; Changes to fuel duty to encourage low nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮) vehicles as well as low carbon dioxide(二氧化碳); Financial encouragement for other choices of fuels; Encourage walking and cycling, etc.Our dirty air will simply not clean itself, and this issue is one that will, without the government's involvement, continue to impact on present and future generations. Enough is enough. The government must act on these pieces of advice quickly if we are to improve the qu ality of the air we breathe and protect the nation's heart health."A government spokesperson said there would be a full response to the report in the future, but added: "Clean air is important for people's health and, while air quality has improved greatly in recent decades,we are investing heavily in measures across government to continue this, spending £2 bn since 2011 in green transport."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)62. What harmful matters are connected to heart and lung diseases?63. Give two examples of the measures of making green air according to the passage.64. _________ is the key to improve air quality and impact on our current and future generations.第II卷（共25分）IV.
