Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized it or not, women are besieged by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth ?But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced with many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage , concern for others, etc.In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concept. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good looks are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.56. According to the first paragraph, why are women caught by a sea of fashion ?A. Because they are rich.B. Because they are taught to follow any fashion.C. Because they don’t dare to look attractive.D. Because they think that they will look youthful and charming with beautiful clothes.57. Which is more important to a woman in the author’s opinion ?A. Richness of one’s mindB. LooksC. Following the fashionD. Wealth58. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?A. The richness of women’s minds proves to be more beautiful than their looksB. A woman who may be called “aunt” is no longer beautifulC. A woman who has experienced many troubles may still maintain her beautyD. It is not necessary for women to show their beauty through their beautiful clothes59. What is the best way for a woman to appear young according to the writer ?A. Dressing upB. Reading and learningC. Feeding the flowerD. Making up(B)It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives only three to five minutes. Sometimes the hurt brain gets better by itself. More often the doctors can’t fix the hurt. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help. It is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctor might make the person worse if he works on the brain.Dr. Robert J. White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for thirty minutes. This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain temperature was 50 degrees. Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back. He warmed the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were like they were before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.Dr. White’s idea works well on the monkeys. Are there other problems on human beings? Dr. White thinks doctors will use his idea on human beings. He thinks it will help people who have heart problems, too. A person doesn’t have to die when his heart stops. Doctors can start it again. The problems e when the brain is without blood for three to five minutes, the person has a living body, but a dead brain. Maybe in the future , doctors will try Dr. White’s idea. When the person’s heart stops, the doctors will quickly try to cool the brain. They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again. Maybe there will be no problem with the brain.60.The passage mainly discusses _______.A. the importance of the brainB. Dr. White’s test on some monkeysC. the cause of brain deathD. Dr. White’s idea on operating the brain61. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______.A. blood is very important to the brainB. doctors have much trouble in curing a patient of a hurt brainC. at present there is no way to fix the hurt brainD. doctors are not willing to operate on a patient with a hurt brain62. According to the last paragraph, it could be inferred that when a heart attack happens,_______.A. the patient will die in three to five minutesB. doctors will cool the patient’s brain in no timeC. blood will stop flowing in three to five minutes in the patient’s bodyD. doctors will start the patient’s heart again in thirty minutes63. It seems that the writer believes _______.A. the brain is more easily hurt than any other part of the bodyB. in fact Dr. White’s test on the monkeys is not so successfulC. the heart disease means deathD. at present Dr. White’s idea can’t be used on human beings(C)Without proper training, dogs will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongs, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems . But it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of munication between you and your dog. Effective munication is necessary to instruct your dog in what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “e here! Sit” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach you’re your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. A well –trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.64. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.A. get worse in modern societyB. occur only when they go wildC. be just part of their natureD. present a threat to society65. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.A. teach the dog to perform tricksB. teach the dog to serve its ownerC. make the dog aware of its owner’s powerD. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior66. Effective munication between a dog and its owner is _______.A. a good way to teach a dog new tricksB. the foundation for dogs to perform tasksC. an extreme measure in obedience trainingD. essential to solve a dog’s behavior problems67. Why pet dogs love performing tricks for their master ?A. To avoid being punishedB. To win leadership of the dog packC. To show their willingness to obeyD. To show their affection for their masters68. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.A. will enjoy a family lifeB. can give the dog more freedomC. can give the dog more rewardsD. will have more confidence in himself(D)THEATRECity VarietiesThe Headrow, Leeds, Tel. 430808Oct 10 –11 only A Night at the Varieties.

You won't be for long . Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too .In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System , a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated . The system , which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use , enables glass , plastic , paper , metal , and other rubbish to go into separate boxes .The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door . The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button , a microputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box es under the chute . The puter also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full . And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclablesSorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting . Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive , so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted . Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials bee more cost-effective.72. The purpose in writing this text is _________.A．to encourage people to recycle their rubbishB．to introduce a recycling system for high risesC．to describe the use of puter technology in recyclingD．to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises73. When he says "You won't be for long" the writer means that _______.A．you'll soon be living in a cleaner buildingB．rubbish chutes will bee out of date before longC．you won't wait long for your turn to recycle rubbishD．it won't be long before you'll have to recycle your rubbish74. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ___________A．lock the other floors' chute doors B．check if the container is fullC．press the correct button D．break up the rubbish75. The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________A．it reduces the cost of recycling B．it saves time and spaceC．it saves money for people living in high risesD．it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment四、短文改错(10分)：We got up early this morning and took long walk after 76__________breakfast.

The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的）state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to.

Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents’ genes. Except for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make.But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births---some are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters.Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins.Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this.We could ask, “Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are.46. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. We cannot easily change our physical appearance.B. How we turn out depends on our parents’ genes.C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world.D. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are.47. Why are scientists studying twins?A. To find out how many twins are born every year.B. To discover what shapes us as individuals.C. To compare differences between twins.D. To study brother-and-sister relationships.48. According to the passage, __________.A. one in 70 twins are genetically identicalB. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sexC. twins separated at birth behave exactly the sameD. identical twins are genetically the same49. Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage?A. Eating habits.B. Eye-sight.C. Pain resistance.D. Marriage patterns.50. What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Our love of sport.B. Our attitude to risk-taking.C. Our skill at bungee jumping.D. Our ability to take drugs.CFOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move."I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled. During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time."I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained.Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams.The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks.Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends."I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said.Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong."I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel. It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.51. Li Qinmei has to shoulder the family because ________.A. her father was badly injured in a car accidentB. her mother passed away when she was 3C. her grandma died when she was 12D. misfortune in her life forced her to do so52. From the passage we can infer that _________.A. Li Qinmei doesn’t like others talking about her fatherB. many young students hate going to school with their parentsC. Li Qinmei has made great progress in her studyD. Li Qinmei has lost three relatives and has to take care of her father53. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “hanging out” in the passage?_________.A. playing outsideB. working hardC. exchanging ideasD. talking happily54.

Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Stress：Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years，stress（21）（regard） as a cause of a whole range of medical problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But like so many other things, it is only too much stress（22）does you harm. It is time you（23）________(consider) that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stress, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain point, the more stress you are under,the（24）_______（good）your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, though, further stress will only lead to exhaustion, illness and finally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself （25） number of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is being expected of you, and yet find（26） impossible to say no？Do you find yourself getting impatient or（27）（annoy）with people over unimportant things？…If the answer to all those questions is yes, you had better（28）（control）your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is good for you.To some extent, you can control the amount of stress in your life. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stress is involved（29）_______various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12, etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely（30）（get）ill.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people___31___ value individualism——the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the____32___ that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work ____33____and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient ___34____ society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching __35____ are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.There are advantages and disadvantages to both ofthese____36___ of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it ___37___students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an____38_____ learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values ___39____ ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't ___40____as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.III． Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response towhat people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to （41）our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy．For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they（42）. As a member of that group, you would likely （43）that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be （44） to really get behind yourself．Because you might fear that your （45） would not pay off．Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not （46） would probably stop your trying．And that would be a major （47） to invest your energy in your dream．On the other hand，belief isn't anything （48）．If you found a way to （49）_______ that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market．And in both cases, （50） plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something．One way to openup the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable（51）we sometimes think．There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our（52） in, such as passion, feeling, and sense．Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the（53）opinion held by ordinary people about what will work．In the same way，we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guide us,（54）____ any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we（55） the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper．41．A．simplify B．challenge C．eliminate D．maintain 42．A．possessed B．trusted C．objected D．missed 43．A．reject B．preserve C．deny D．share 44．A．willing B．sorry C．reluctant D．ready 45．A．success B．knowledge C．profession D．investment 46．A．devoted B．talented C．concerned D．interested 47．A．obstacle B．excuse C．chance D．principle 48．A．important B．fixed C．changeable D．stimulating49．A．enhance B．reserve C．release D．follow 50．A．energy B．hobby C．expense D．belief 51．A．guide B．ability C．goal D．policy52．A．aim B．faith C．task D．dream 53．A．unacceptable B．strange C．unbelievable D．common 54．A．questioning B．understanding C．interpreting D．believing 55．A．stick to B．lead to C．free up D．leave outSection B（11×2=22分）Directions: Read the following three passages.

Safety Department.（C）Talking to human-like devices can be great fun – just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems.A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas (KU) in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”The results showed that the participants were happy withthe comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, according to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at KU.But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend.“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes away. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level.”Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products thatcan increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relation ships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections.”63.

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. 67 Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populous continent. 68 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.69 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 70 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinkingabout the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.第II 卷 (共40分)I.
