We sang 37 for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.As we were 38 on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer(老年痴呆症), most of them 39 off at the walls or floor. However, one lady 40 my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren‘t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn‘t41 like that. As we got 42 with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. 43 she was singing, she was also 44 out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my 45 were to my students. People who worked at the care centre could 46 to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling 47 about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.Justin also 48 the same lady. The difference between us is that he 49 on her needs, but I didn‘t. During the last son g, ―Silent Night,‖ Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her 50 and with his actions said, ―You are important, and I will take my51 to let you know that.‖ This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No 52 can completely describe that touching moment...It 53 a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin‘s example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a 54 that I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself 55 to have witnessed his lesson.36.

When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn‘t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.Book ReviewsDiscuss an author‘s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you‘ve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.Movie ReviewsThink of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn‘t? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don‘t give away an exciting scene or the ending!College ReviewsBegin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campusand/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.56. When writing a review, you ________.A. cannot refer to any previous reviewB. must express your own views and opinionsC. must provide some information about the authorD. needn‘t give any examples to support your views57. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?A. Strengths and weaknesses.B. Plot and character.C. Programs and scenes.D. Location and description.58. Where can you probably find the passage?A. In a personal diary.B. In an official report.C. In a tourist guidebook.D. In a popular magazine.BMy grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with its gifts. When I was a child, she took me to museums, restaurants, dances. She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world. But I can only remember her giving me one book—a book that, to this day, I have not read. She presented me with her own favourite childhood book: Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing.I tried to read it. I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn‘t let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliar—even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress.Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother.The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction. The book weighed on me.Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I‘ve lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift. Don‘t ask, despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer. The desire for such connection is what gives book-giving with special meaning—and increases the owner‘s possibility to be a letdown.Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts, though. If the giver doesn‘t have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed, and asks whether it is, then the owner—unless she can truthfully say ―yes‖—either has to admit to not liking the present, or else lie on the spot. Neither is pleasan t. So, don‘t ask.59. When the author was a kid, his grandmother ________.A. took him to travel around the world a lotB. loved to take him to museums and storesC. shared her childhood stories with himD. gave him many gifts60. What does the author think about the book his grandmother gave him?A. Boring.B. Interesting.C. Puzzling.D. Disappointing.61. The underlined sentence ―The book weighed on me‖ in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.A. the book is too heavy for the author to carryB. the author feels stressful facing the bookC. the book is full of powerful viewpointsD. the author keeps reading the book62. The author learns from the Hans Brinker‘s experience that never________.A. give others books as giftsB. lie to people who give you giftsC. get close to others through giftsD. talk about the books given as giftsCGoogle has kicked off Google Science Fair(GSF) 2014, its annual online competition for bright, creative and ambitious teenagers who want to change the world with science. While the project is led by Google, it also has the backing of the Lego Group and world-famous publications National Geographic and Scientific American. The competition is open for students aged 13 to 18, who can sign-up now, form a team and begin working on a submission.The winner will be rewarded with a ten-day exploration to the Galapagos Islands aboard the National Geographic Endeavour, as well as a VIP tour of ‗Spaceport America‘ in New Mexico. Google is also throwing in a $50,000 scholarship and $10,000 for the winner‘s school to purchase cutting-edge science lab equipment.Google suggests that each project should be ―an in-depth investigation of a science question or engin eering problem‖ but otherwise, it‘s up to students to pick and develop an idea that follows the competition rules.Completed projects need to be submitted by May 12, 2014 at 11:59 PDT. Google will announce the regional competitors in June, ahead of global finalists in August and the competition winners in September. Interested? Here are the rules.If you want to enter the competition as an individual(个人), you should register first. Complete requested information about yourself and your project in the registration section before creating your project.You may edit this later. Click the box stating that you have read, accept, and agree to be bound by these Official Rules and Terms.Upon completion of registration you may begin working on your project. The project must follow the technical, creative, and legal entry requirements set out in these Official Rules and the Site. You will be required to complete all sections of the Project Site.You may begin working on your project after completing the registration process, however, you may not submit it for judging until you have requested and received parental consent(允许). Once you have done this, your parent or guardian will receive an email from Google with instructions on how they can give their consent for you to participate. The project will not be judged unless this consent is received.63. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ________.A. GSF is a science competitionB. teenagers should form a teamC. every teenager can take part in itD. GSF is organized by Google alone64. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A. Parental consent.B. Submission time.C. Registration process.D. Project requirements.65. If you plan to enter GSF alone, you ________.A. should create your project firstB. you needn‘t follow the official rulesC. you should provide some personal informationD. your should start your project before registration66. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. offer tips on how to enter GSFB. provide information about GSFC. persuade teenagers to enter GSFD. show teenagers the importance of GSFDDear Mom, Clear My CalendarSeptember is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer‘s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child‘s sc hedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child‘s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术).Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of ―enrichment,‖ three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a child‘s confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.A child‘s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it‘s time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle(空闲的) time now.Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That‘s too much for a five-year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let‘s be honest with ourselves – our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child‘s.67. The author holds that it‘s a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _____.A. a child‘s schedule is too complexB. activities suitable for kids are limitedC. parents are stuck in numerous choicesD. children always say no to parents‘ advice68. What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2 implies that _____.A. children love to stay at schoolB. they are popular with childrenC. children dislike after-school classesD. after-school classes are of poor quality69. According to the author, what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes?A. Parents want to make up for their own regrets.B. After-school classes develop children‘s potential.C. Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children.D. After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent.70. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. For children‘s benefits, the earlier the better.B. Childr en‘s spare time should be carefully designed.C. Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past.D. Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason.,第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Flash Mob: The Pop CultureIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don‘t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs(暴民)? 71 Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate.A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.72 At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper‘s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy‘s department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpe t department of Macy‘s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. 73Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. 74 They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.75 People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson‘s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michael‘s famous song ―Beat It‖ together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.A. Don‘t be confused by their name.B. People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities.C. The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.D. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place.E. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.F. The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people.G. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）(15分)你在北京的英国朋友Tom非常喜欢中国绘画。

The choices are endless.No matter what your plans are, we look forward to helping you experience Hawaii to the fullest! Thank you for choosing Blue Sky Tours as you plan your trip to Hawaii. We are proud to help you create memories that last a lifetime.Eat a small snack such a few slices of cheese or drink a glass of milk. Apples are also a great snack because they help to keep your blood sugar even. No matter what you eat, avoid eating a large amount of food at once. It is also a good idea to eat a light meal that contains lots of vegetables for dinner before your all-nighter.ExerciseOne of the easiest ways to avoid falling asleep during an all nighter is to keep moving. Many people fall asleep if they sit in one place for too long, but moving will keep them awake. You could try running in place, doing jumping jacks, or dancing to your favorite band. It doesn’t really matter how you move, as long as you avoid sitting still. It often works best to take a movement break for five to ten minutes every hour.Switch Subjects OftenIf you are bored with the task you are doing, you are likely to fall asleep. Try to switch tasks at least every hour so that you aren’t doing the same thing over and over. Your brain gets bored quickly, especially if you are already tired, so switching subjects gives you a break and allows you to break up the work you are completing into small parts. Making a list of everything you need to complete before morning an d checking things off the list will help keep you motivated (有积极性的) to push through the tiredness and get your work done.Just remember: staying awake all night is not healthy, and certainly not suggested, unless absolutely necessary. If you do have to pull an all-nighter, make sure that you take time off the next day to let your body and mind recover fully.53. From the passage we can know that _________.A. a pleasant smell may help stop us from feeling sleepyB. sleeping for a short time can make us feel energeticC. running in place is a better way of exercising at nightD. we feel sleepy and tired when we eat a light meal考点：推理判断题．题型：阅读理解．思路：此类型题目必须根据上下文及其相互间的关系或对整篇文章进行深层理解后，才能找No matter what Gary did, it was never enough to please his father. When he got seven A’s and three B’s, his dad asked about the B’s. When he described the wonderful girl he’d fallen in love with, he got a serious lecture that she may not be what he thought.He thought he had a great relationship with his son so he was surprised and hurt when Gary turned down an offer to work at his company and instead took a lower-paying job in another town. He tried to talk Gary into staying, explaining the advantages of being close to the family and the problems of moving. Finally, Gary shouted, “Dad, I’m moving to get away from you! I love you, but I can’t stand the way you tear down everything I do.”Gary prepared for an answer, but for the first time in his life he saw his dad’s confidence disappear. With tears in his eyes, his dad said sadly, “All I ever wanted was to make you better and help you reach your goals and avoid failure. It’s what I do. It’s why my business is so successful.74. 根据中文和英文提示，写一封意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于50词的回信．信的开头和结尾已给出，其词数不计入所要完成的回信内．所给提供的英文提示词语仅供选用．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．假如你叫李明，你的笔友David给你写信，想了解你在学校丰富多彩的校园活动．请你根据他的问题回信．提示词语：volunteer, competition, club, prepare, helpful, teamwork, understandTo DavidFrom Li MingHi!

When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn't like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.Book ReviewsDiscuss an author's technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you've read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.Movie ReviewsThink of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn't? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don't give away an exciting scene or the ending! College ReviewsBegin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after﹣class programs are available? What are the students like? What makesthe college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.（1）When writing a review, you ________.A cannot refer to any previous reviewB must express your own views andopinions C must provide some information about the author D needn't give any examples to support your views（2）Which aspects should be included in all three reviews? ________A Strengths and weaknesses.B Plot and character.C Programs andscenes. D Location and description.（3）Where can you probably find the passage? ________A In a personal diary.B In an official report.C In a tourist guidebook.D In a popular magazine.18. My grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with its gifts．When I was achild, she took me to museums, restaurants, dances．She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world．But I can only remember her giving me one book﹣a book that, to this day, I have not read．She presented me with her own favorite childhood book: Hans Brinker．My grandmother was happy to share this book with me．She even decorated the title page with her proud writing．I tried to read it．I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once．But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn't let me in．The story was set in Holland, a long time ago．It felt dull and unfamiliar﹣even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places．I simply read the first pages over and over．I could not progress．Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided．It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother．The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked．Had I read it? Did I likeit? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer．I would make some kind of excuse, feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction．The book weighed on me．Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker．Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf．The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I've lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift．Don'task, despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer．The desire for such connection is what gives book﹣giving with special meaning﹣and increases the owner's possibility to be a letdown．Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts, though．If the giver doesn't have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed, and asks whether it is, then the owner﹣unless she can truthfully say"yes"﹣either has to admit to not liking the present, or else lie on the spot．Neither is pleasant．So, don't ask．（1）When the author was a kid，his grandmother________．A took him to travel around the world a lotB loved to take him to museums andstores C shared her childhood stories with him D gave him many gifts．（2）What does the author think about the book his grandmother gave him？________A Boring．B Interesting．C Puzzling．D Disappointing．．（3）The underlined sentence"The book weighed on me"in Paragraph 4probablymeans________．A the book is too heavy for the author to carryB the author feels stressful facing the bookC the book is full of powerful viewpointsD the author keeps reading the book．（4）The author learns from the Hans Brinker's experience that never________．A give others books as giftsB lie to people who give you giftsC get close to others through giftsD talk about the books given as gifts．19. Google has kicked off Google Science Fair （GSF） 2014, its annual online competition forbright, creative and ambitious teenagers who want to change the world with science．While the project is led by Google, it also has the backing of the Lego Group and world﹣famous publications National Geographic and Scientific American．The competition is open for students aged 13to 18, who can sign﹣up now, form a team and begin working on a submission．The winner will be rewarded with a ten﹣day exploration to the Galapagos Islands aboard the National Geographic Endeavor, as well as a VIP tour of‘Spac eport America'in New Mexico．Google is also throwing in a 50, 000scholarshipand10, 000for the winner's schoolto purchase cutting﹣edge science lab equipment．Google suggests that each project should be"an in﹣depth investigation of a science question or engineering problem"but otherwise, it's up to students to pick and develop an idea that follows the competition rules．Completed projects need to be submitted by May 12, 2014at 11: 59PDT．Google will announce the regional competitors in June, ahead of global finalists in August and the competition winners in September．Interested? Here are the rules．If you want to enter the competition as an individual （个人）, you should register first．Complete requested information about yourself and your project in the registration section before creating your project．You may edit this later．Click the box stating that you have read, accept, and agree to be bound by these Official Rules and Terms．Upon completion of registration you may begin working on your project．The projectmust follow the technical, creative, and legal entry requirements set out in these Official Rules and the Googlesciencefair．com Site．You will be required to complete all sections of the Project Site．You may begin working on your project after completing the registrationprocess, however, you may not submit it for judging until you have requested and received parental consent （允许）．Once you have done this, your parent or guardian will receive an email from Google with instructions on how they can give their consent for you to participate．The project will not be judged unless this consent is received．（1）From the first paragraph，we can learn that________．A GSF is a science competitionB teenagers should form a teamC every teenager can take part in itD GSF is organized by Google alone．（2）What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph？________A Parental consent．B Submission time．C Registration process．D Project requirements．．（3）If you plan to enter GSF alone，you________．A should create your project firstB you needn't follow the official rulesC you should provide some personal informationD your should start your project before registration．（4）The main purpose of the passage is to________．A offer tips on how to enter GSFB provide information about GSFC persuadeteenagers to enter GSF D show teenagers the importance of GS F20. Dear Mom, Clear My CalendarSeptember is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer's end．But parents have a special reason to do so．The end of summer means the start of school．And these days, planning a young child's schedule is a big challenge．The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child's day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available．Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts（武术）．Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend．In the name of"enrichment, "three﹣year﹣olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch．One teacher tells of a four﹣year﹣old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis．Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time．What happened to unstructured time?A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had．The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families．And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves．David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better．Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a child's confidence．The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure．A child's time does not have to be planned to be meaningful．Remember the lazy days of summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it's time to come home for dinner．However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle （空闲的） time now．Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after﹣school program until 6P．M．, when a working mom or dad comes to take them home．That's too much for a five﹣year old．Finances, of course, do limit some parents．But let's be honest with ourselves﹣our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child's．（1）The author holds that it's a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainlybecause________．A a child's schedule is too complexB activities suitable for kids are limitedC parents are stuck in numerous choicesD children always say no to parents'advice．（2）What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2implies that________．A children love to stay at schoolB they are popular with childrenC children dislike after﹣school classesD after﹣school classes are of poor quality．（3）According to the author，what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after﹣school classes？________A Parents want to make up for their own regrets．B After﹣school classes developchildren's potential． C Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children． D After﹣school classes give parents an excuse for being absent．．（4）Which of the following will the author probably agree with？________A For children's benefits，the earlier the better．B Children's spare time should be carefully designed．C Idle time for children is becoming a thing of thepast． D Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason．．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，共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。
