Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.Andrews, first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同)with Dream Works' Nashville label. Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Y earwood.With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明）gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."21. What's the meaning of the underlined word “launched" in the fourth paragraph?A. Aimed.B. Sent.C. Started.D. Set.22.

The Prince of Egypt.D. Who I Am24. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Jessica Andrews' LifeB. Jessica Andrews' DreamC. Jessica Andrews' SongsD. Jessica Andrews' Success as a SingerBOne year, my school report made my parents angry. On Christmas Eve, all the presents were stolen, along with our TV. My parents told me that there were no presents because Santa was very angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year on Christmas Eve I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure that he didn't steal the new TV. The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw that there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him, shouting angrily: "THIEF! THIEF!"JackWhen I was young, we always had a specific room for the Christmas tree. My mom never really liked the location, so one year she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced that Santa would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried that he would be mad and put me on the "bad" list and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree. I came up with the idea to make signs leading from the fireplace to the tree. They said things like: "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he began to laugh his head off.LucyDoes everyone remember going to the mall and sitting on Santa’s lap to have his picture taken at Christmas time?Well, I used to think that if I did that, Santa would get mad because he would have to go all around the world and give every kid the chance to have his picture taken with him. Of course his lap would hurt and he would be very fired. I thought he might keep a copy of the picture and that would be how he decided who would be on his naughty list.My mom couldn't get me onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty list.Lydia25. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Belief in SantaB. The Excitement on ChristmasC. Christmas GiftsD. Christmas Celebration26. The real reason why Jack's TV was taken away is that ______________.A. his parents were too carelessB. his parents thought he had watched too much TVC. Santa Claus was not satisfied with Jack’s behaviorD. Santa gave the TV to another child as a present27. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lucy didn't want the tree to be moved?A. Santa would not know where the tree was.B. Santa would be angry and would not give her any gifts.C. Her big brother might laugh at her.D. Santa might think she was a "bad" child.CMUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which aretheir home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire.But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of the movie—is always all around.28. Which of the following is NOT true about the two children?A. They were both excited about receiving the award.B. They had been having a difficult life in India.C. They were interviewed before they went back home.D. They were the only two child stars in the movie, Slum dog Millionaire.29. What can we infer from the text?A. The two children have played in other movies before.B. Rinoms’s mother also went to the Hollywood.C. Rubina may not get used to the American food.D. They will travel to other countries before returning home.30. What will happen to the two children after they return to India?A. They will go back to the miserable life.B. They will play in movies as famous actors.C. They will leave school to learn acting.D. They will have a better education.31. According to the author, the value of the movie is that ________.A. it has been given an Oscar AwardB. it has made the two children famousC. it has become popular all over the worldD. its central theme has become known to the publicDThere were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing.Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.32. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the Us33. The underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution34. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.35. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis. As a matter of fact, we can see this 36 at work inpeople of all 37 . For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about 38 with their new toys. But their 39 soon wears off and by January those 40 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 41 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 42 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 43 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 44 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 45 but are soon looking forward to 46 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 47 , who now complain (抱怨) about the long drives to work, 48 drove for hours at a time when they first 49 their driver’s license (执照)? Before people retire, they usually 50 to do a lot of 51 things, which they never had 52 to do while working. But 53 after retirement , the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they 54 . And , like the child in January, they go searching for new 55 .36.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research._____56_______ Try the following steps:Calm yourself. ______57_______ Y ou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. _____58_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you._____59______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. Y ou may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. _____60______ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G.

But do you know who wrote the song andfor whom it was written?The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lucasville, USA could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two o f Mr. Archibald Hill’s aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning to you, good morning to you, dear children, good morning to all.” This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten c hildren. But not many grown-ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday” to the melody（曲调）of “Good Morning to you” to her little nephew（侄子）. She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!Happy birthday, dear Archie! Happy birthday to you!Miss Patty Hill and her sister had never expected that this song would become so popular,but it really did. People all overthe world like the song because of its simplicity in tune（曲调简单）and friendliness in words.41. Archibald A. Hill was __________.A. EnglishB. RussianC. AmericanD. Australian42. Professor Archibald A. Hill was Miss Mildred Hill’s __________.A. sonB. studentC. brotherD. nephew43. The song “Happy Birthday” has a history of __________years.A. 97B. about 90C. more than 90D. less than 9044. Why did Miss Hiss wrote songs?A. Because they are musicians.B. Because they love children.C. Because they were asked to write for a book.D. Because their nephew asked them to do so.45. The sentence “it really did” means __________.A. The song really became popularB. Their wish would really come trueC. People all over the world like to listen to the songD. Ye s, but the song didn’t become popularBWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried abouthow the grizzly bear and mountainlion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. Infact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist inthe U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.“Eco-passages” may help animals cross the road wit hout being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders （火蜥蜴）and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!46. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that __________.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving condition has improved greatlyC. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidentsD. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work47. From the story, we know an eco-passage is __________.A. an underground path for carsB. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a riverD. a path for animals to cross the road48. When the writer says that “animals seem to be catching on” ,he means __________.A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadB. animals are crossing the road in groupsC. animals are increasing in numberD. animals begin to learn to use eco-passages49. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because __________.A. wild animals may attack carsB. they may see wild animals on eco-passagesC. they may see wild animals in the parkD. wild animals may jam the road50. The best title for the passage is __________.A. Special bridges help animals cross the roadB. Endangered animals increase because of roadkillC. Animals fail to cross the roadD. Take steps to protect animals in dangerCI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then.I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.” My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just waita little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.51. How did the author get to know America?A. From radio programsB. From books and picturesC. From her motherD. From her relatives52. Upon leaving for America the author felt __________.A. excitedB. confusedC. worriedD. amazed53.

The author believes that __________.A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps tryingDWhen did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements.First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finallythe heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system （循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away." 56. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that __________.A. they must reach the age of 60B. they should be easy to make friends withC. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsD. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February57. Doctors __________.A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyB. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming58. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that __________.A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueB. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winterC. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highD. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water59. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for __________.A. they can remain youngB. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life60. The passage is mainly about __________.A. a group of cold-water swimming loversB. the polar bears' lifeC. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmingD. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共60分)第一节：阅读填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)“Cool”is a word with many meanings. Its traditional meaning is used to show a temperature that is fairly cold. It is often used to describe autumn. As the word has changed, however, the word has expanded to take on many other different meanings.“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. And it can often be heard in teenagers’ language.When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help saying, “How cool it is!” You might think , “He is cool.” if you see your favorite football player.We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”, “wonderful”, “unbelievable”, or “amazing”. An interesting story can be used to illustrate the usage of the word. A teacher asked her students to describe the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper there was nothing but one sentence, “It’s so cool that I love it very much..”Perhaps he thought the word “cool”was the best one to describe what he saw and felt. It can be understood that the water of the waterfall was cool, or the scenery of the waterfall was extraordinarily beautiful, or when the student watched the water falling down from high with loud sound , he felt very happy.But the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. Without “cool ”some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is necessary to improve our word strength to maintain some richness.As a popular word, “cool stands for a kind of special culture that people can accept easily. Except “cool” ,can you think of many words that make your life as colorful? I can. And I think they are also very cool.Its______(1)_______meaning Fairly coldIts enlarged meaning 1.new2._____(2)_____3.______(3)_____4.______(4)_____It can be used to ______(5)_____ 1.feeling of______(6)____2.something favoriteIt is often used by _______(7)_______The student perhaps used “cool”todescribe1.the water of the waterfall2.the beautiful _____(8)___3.his feeling of _____(9)__Too much use of the word “cool” shows The shortage of ________(10)第二节：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）11.They are now _____________(争吵）about whether to go or not.12.Here is my card.

Perhaps you’ve tracked how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve 51 ina day.If so, you’ve 52 a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individualsgather information about their daily activities in this widespread movement, also calledself-tracking. This may sound 53 , but technology is making the process easier.Perhaps you’ve wanted to 54 a bad habit and couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze it to helpget a 55 lifestyle.Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly 56 wearablegadgets(工具), are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone UP, Google Glass or a smart watch to 57 personal data including hours slept, stress levels, heart rate and mood.So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to 58 what foods make him sleepy and modify his diet accordingly.Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. 59 , doctors have also helped patients to document parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health issues. 60 , it wasn’t until 2007 that Wired magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the 61 “Quantified Self.”Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its 62 . Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addiction(癖好). Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.While self-tracking doesn’t 63 that one’s quality of life will improve, it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. 64 , the Quantified Self Movement’s primary focus is 65 people to employ enough energy to make healthier choices.51.

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)In the 1850s, a vast wilderness separated California from the eastern U.S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow.William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St.Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks from extreme weather, hostile Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the rider s’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kansas. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided meals for people who were traveling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons for tired travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark. For a few dollars, you can tour the site. In a nearby visitor center, there is also a small gift shop and a theater where you can see films about the station.66. Why, mainly, did William Russell and his partners start the new service?A. To make mail delivery somewhat safer.B. To expand mail delivery to other nations.C. To dramatically speed up mail delivery.D. To reduce the high cost of mail delivery.67. What does this article imply about the work that the delivery people did?A. It continued for decades.B. It was widely imitated.C. It made investors rich.D. It was quite dangerous.68. What do we learn about Gerat Hollenberg from this article?A. The various fees that he charged.B. The age at which he went into business.C. The type of business he ran.D. The expenses which he had to pay.69. What has the Hollenberg Station become since the 1860s?A. A center for research.B. A tourist attraction.C. A set for movies.D. A social club.(B)It’s always great to experience a new location in a unique way. For those brave travelers who enjoy testing exciting stunts, rides and thrills, the members and editors of provided a list of the best spots to get an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush.70.

A sport name.C. A surf spot.D. A famous wave’s name.(C)Social networks have found a promising new source of advertising income: targeting users with ads for products they browsed online.The latest form of advertising, called “retargeting,”is expected to not only get more common, but increase worries over privacy.Most people are aware they are being watched online. They also know that the marketers who are tracking their movements are going to show them ads tailored to their interests.But many say it’s frightening when an ad for the product they eyed on one website begins popping up on Facebook. Analysts say these ads are only going to multiply because they are potentially very profitable for social networks under pressure from investors.With its new service called “Tailored Audiences,” marketers can reach consumers who have shown an interest in their brands, the company said.Retargeting is still a small part of the overall online advertising industry but it’s growing quickly because shoppers are clicking on the ads, according to emarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.Whether Twitter users will enjoy seeing these personalized ads or will be set apart by the more intrusive tracking remains to be seen.Twitter said it would disable the service for users who check the “Do Not Track”option in their browsers. Twitter users can also choose not to receive “promoted content” –advertising that appears in tweets and in trends on Twitter – by adjusting their privacy settings.But retargeted advertising may be a wake-up call for many users to how much of a data trail they leave that marketers can now follow back to their accounts.That’s just why the strategy is so effective – and why social networks are rolling out such ads, analysts say.People are much more likely to buy something they were already shopping for, said Larry Kim, founder of marketing firm WordStream.Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo have been tracking users across the Web to show them retargeted ads for years. It’s a more recent phenomenon on social networks.In retargeting, marketers use small text files called cookies. When users look at a particular item on a website, a cookie is placed on their browser. Marketers can then target FaceBook and Twitter users who recently visited their websites.No identifying information about users changes hands, FaceBook and Twitter say.“If you see an ad in your feed from a website you visited, the website doesn’t know it’s you specially seeing the ad, just a group of people who visited the website,”Williamson said, “…For some people, that is going to be a problem. For others it is going to be a benefit.”74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Retargeting is helping social networks make advertising earnings.B. Retargeting is becoming more and more popular among young people.C. Retargeting plays a positive part in all the network users’ life.D. Retargeting ads are forcing Twitter users to leave the website.75. What does the phrase popping up in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. becoming popularB. appearing unexpectedlyC. attacking suddenlyD. tracking quickly76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. No identifying information about users changes hands.B. Retargeting is beneficial to a special group of people.C. The website you visited will keep your personal information for you.D. Whether retargeting is safe to network users is still unclear for sure.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Strategy of Network MarketingB. The Source of Advertising IncomeC. The Trend of Targeted AdvertisingD. The Difference between Internet GiantsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to Hong Kong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel –a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, the kids have classes. Delphine boasts that all of Bethel’s kids are fluent in English before turning 18.The Gauvains and their three kids moved to the Philippines in 2012 after devoting 10 years to Bethel China. They still remain involved with Bethel’s leadership. And in their new location, they have opened a community center to help train people with work skills.

This may sound 53 , but technology is making the process easier.Perhaps you’ve wanted to 54 a bad habit and couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze it to help get a 55 lifestyle.Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly 56 wearable gadgets(工具), are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone UP, Google Glass or a smart watch to 57 personal data including hours slept, stress levels, heart rate and mood.So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to 58 what foods make him sleepy and modify his diet accordingly.Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. 59 , doctors have also helped patients to document parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health issues. 60 , it wasn’t until 2007 that Wired magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the 61 “Quantified Self.”Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its 62 . Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addiction(癖好). Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.While self-tracking doesn’t 63 that one’s quality of life will improve, it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. 64 , the Quantified Self Movement’s primary focus is 65 people to employ enough energy to make healthier choices.51.

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)In the 1850s, a vast wilderness separated California from the eastern U.S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow.William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks from extreme weather, hostile Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the rider s’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kansas. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided meals for people who were traveling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons for tired travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark. For a few dollars, you can tour the site. In a nearby visitor center, there is also a small gift shop and a theater where you can see films about the station.66.

A famous wave’s name.(C)Social networks have found a promising new source of advertising income: targeting users with ads for products they browsed online.The latest form of advertising, called “retargeting,” is expected to not only get more common, but increase worries over privacy.Most people are aware they are being watched online. They also know that the marketers who are tracking their movements are going to show them ads tailored to their interests.But many say it’s frightening when an ad for the product they eyed on one website begins popping up on Facebook. Analysts say these ads are only going to multiply because they are potentially very profitable for social networks under pressure from investors.With its new service called “Tailored Audiences,”marketers can reach consumers who have shown an interest in their brands, the company said.Retargeting is still a small part of the overall online advertising industry but it’s growing quickly because shoppers are clicking on the ads, according to emarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.Whether Twitter users will enjoy seeing these personalized ads or will be set apart by the more intrusive tracking remains to be seen.Twitter said it would disable the service for users who check the “Do Not Track” option in their browsers. Twitter users can also choose not to receive “promoted content”–advertising that appears in tweets and in trends on Twitter – by adjusting their privacy settings.But retargeted advertising may be a wake-up call for many users to how much of a data trail they leave that marketers can now follow back to their accounts.That’s just why the strategy is so effective – and why social networks are rolling out such ads, analysts say.People are much more likely to buy something they were already shopping for, said Larry Kim, founder of marketing firm WordStream.Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo have been tracking users across the Web to show them retargeted ads for years. It’s a more recent phenomenon on social networks.In retargeting, marketers use small text files called cookies. When users look at a particular item on a website, a cookie is placed on their browser. Marketers can then target FaceBook and Twitter users who recently visited their websites.No identifying information about users changes hands, FaceBook and Twitter say.“If you see an ad in your feed from a website you visited, the website doesn’t know it’s you specially seeing the ad, just a group of people who visited the website,” Williamson said, “…For some people, that is going to be a problem. For others it is going to be a benefit.”74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Retargeting is helping social networks make advertising earnings.B. Retargeting is becoming more and more popular among young people.C. Retargeting plays a positive part in all the network users’ life.D. Retargeting ads are forcing Twitter users to leave the website.75. What does the phrase popping up in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. becoming popularB. appearing unexpectedlyC. attacking suddenlyD. tracking quickly76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. No identifying information about users changes hands.B. Retargeting is beneficial to a special group of people.C. The website you visited will keep your personal information for you.D. Whether retargeting is safe to network users is still unclear for sure.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Strategy of Network MarketingB. The Source of Advertising IncomeC. The Trend of Targeted AdvertisingD. The Difference between Internet GiantsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to Hong Kong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel – a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, the kids have classes. Delphine boasts that all of Bethel’s kids are fluent in English before turning 18.The Gauvains and their three kids moved to the Philippines in 2012 after devoting 10 years to Bethel China. They still remain involved with Bethel’s leadership. And in their new location, they have opened a community center to help train people with work skills.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Compared with those who make noble plans that end up going nowhere to bless others, the French couple’sdifference is that ________________________________________________.79. The couple’s purpose of starting Bethel – a foster care program is ______________________.80. Why did the children call the couple Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba?81.
