Two things, above others, have caused the enormous __56__ of the communication industry.

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)She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house." “No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking the four puppies I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.65. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoyed.D. Upset.66. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie________.A. felt worriedB. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire67. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ________.A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingsC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old house68. The passage is organized in order of ________.A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexity(B)69. Probably most injuries happen to skaters’ wrists because ________.A. few skaters wear wrist guardsB. the wrist is the most fragile (脆弱的) body partC. skaters often push out their hands when fallingD. skaters don’t know how to protect their wrists70. ________ are the majority in the study.A. Those who wore helmetsB. Those who wore wrist guardsC. Those who wore knee padsD. Those who wore no protective gear71. What was the main point of the study?A. To encourage people to learn skating.B. To advise skaters to wear safety pads.C. To advertise for skating protective gear.D. To introduce ways of protecting skaters.(C)Almost a decade after the hit Finding Nemo made clownfish seem totally warm and lovable, environmentalists are now looking for a real-life sequel: Saving Nemo.In the United States, a request has been made to extend the protections of the Endangered Species Ac t to marine species including the clownfish.But before you start shedding tears for Nemo and his buddies, keep in mind that this request is not based on any evidence of a decline in the clownfish population. Instead, what has sparked concern is the worsening health of coral reefs, which more than one million aquatic species including the clownfish depend on to thrive, even survive.In ways it makes more sense to move to protect a species when its habitat declines rather than its actual population. The most important mission of the Endangered Species Act is the protection of species’ habitats; without their habitats, there’s almost no hope of saving endangered animals, except perhaps in a zoo.Earlier this year, alarming news came about the world’s largest coral reef system, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR, 大堡礁). A study has shown the Reef is in sharp decline, with half of its coral cover gone in the past 27 years.Katharina Fabricius, an Australian coral reef ecologist co-authoring the study, has been diving and working on the GBR since 1988—and has watched the decline. “There are still a lot of fish ... but not the same color and diversity as in the past,” she said.The study team used information from more than 2,000 surveys to determine the rate of decline between 1985 and 2012. That overall 50-percent decline, they estimate, is a yearly loss of about 3.4 percent of the Reef. If the trend continued, the coral cover could halve again by 2022.Several main factors are responsible for the decline, the study found. Intense tropical cyclones (热带气旋), believed to be fueled by global warming, have caused massive damage to reefs in the central and southern parts of the Reef. Meanwhile, population explosions of the coral-consuming crown-of-thorns starfish (长棘海星) have affected coral populations along the length of the Reef. Two severe coral bleaching (变白) events, caused by ocean warming, have also had major damaging impacts in northern and central parts of the GBR.72. A request has been made in the United States to save the clownfish because ________.A. it is a totally warm and lovable speciesB. the health of its habitat is worseningC. its population has dropped sharplyD. few clownfish can be found in zoos72. What does the underli ned word “thrive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. To feed oneself.B. To keep oneself safe.C. To grow and develop well.D. To attract attention.74. According to the article, what is the AUTHOR'S attitude toward the request in the U.S.?A. He/she supports it.B. He/she finds it ridiculous.C. He/she thinks it is reasonable but needs revising.D. There's no WAY to tell.75. According to the article, all of the following factors contribute to the decline of Great Barrier Reef's coralcover except ________.A. the growing popularity of scuba (水肺）diving around the ReefB. stronger tropical cyclones fueled by global warmingC. the rapidly growing population of type of coral-eating starfishD. coral bleaching caused by rising temperature of the ocean waterSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.People are always saying that you should make friends with native speakers to practise the language. Now in the internet age, that's much easier.The best way to strike up a friendship with English speakers online is to find those you share a common interest with. If you're able to discuss a hobby like movies or basketball together it will be much easier to start those friendships.76. __________Getting involved in a forum based on your interests is also a great way to learn words that you might never have met in class. Different people may join different groups or forums, and you have to find the one that suits your case.77. __________so, where do you go to find English speakers with like-minded interests? The most obvious places to look are Google and Yahoo. These popular Internet sites are bursting with groups and forums.Once you've found a group that suits you, spend some time thinking about what you want to say in your first post. it's a good idea to introduce yourself, give your nickname and age, say where you're from, and tell what your interests are.78. __________This is generally the fastest way to get involved in a forum and to introduce yourself to others. On a movie forum you could ask someth ing like, “I've just seen the movie Revolutionary Road. I thought it was brilliant. Has anyone read the book?”79. __________: To find someone to talk to using Skype, check out his site. simply put Skype in the search engine and that will bring up the many people who have posted a desire to practice their English using Skype. Its chatrooms are also good places to find English speakers.: The website is an online language exchange community. There are even lesson plans to help structure the conversation./en: The British Council's English online website is another place with lively forums worth checking out. Or you could join a Facebook group. There are thousands on the website.80. __________One common mistake people make when they approach English speakers online is to begin by saying that they want to be friends to improve their English.While this may be the truth, don't say it. it suggests you have little interest in a real friendship.Be imaginative in approaching people. Perhaps you see that someone is from a certain country that you would like to visit. Tell them so, and then ask if they can tell you a bit about it. Then tell them about yours.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When your country relies heavily on tourism and you lose more than a third of your visitors due to political revolution, you've got to do something pretty dramatic to get them back. And if you are Egypt, you reopen a pyramid.The Egyptian government recently announced that one of its great pyramids 一the Pyramid of Chefren 一and as many as six other ancient tombs at the Giza Necropolis (吉萨金字塔群) will be reopened after a long restoration project. The move was made in an attempt to revive (重振) a tourism industry that was badly affected by last year's unrest.Egypt became a no-go area following the unrest in 2011. Scenes of violent protests, mainly in the Capital Cairo, were broadcast ACROSS the world and understandably took the country off the holiday trail.Despite that questions are still being asked about the security of potential tourists visiting the region, Egypt's antiquities minister Muhammad Ibrahim insisted that it was a safe country. He said the region was far more stable one year on, adding that other archaeological (考古的) sites were due to be opened across Egypt in coming months.The Pyramid of Chefren, also known as the Pyramid of Chafren, is the second largest pyramid at the Giza site. It was built as the tomb for the Pharaoh Chafren from ancient Egypt's fourth dynasty. The pyramid and the other around it, were discovered in 1927 by American archaeologist George Reinser, and have been closed for restoration on several other occasions in the past.In 1990s a site management plan was carried out to try and preserve these historic treasures when the antiquities ministry discovered that the large volume of visitors over the years had raised levels of humidity inside the structures to levels of up to 80 percent. Research found that every visitor to the pyramids released an average of 20 grams of water vapor through sweat, which slowly caused damage to the walls inside.The project, which cost around $4 million, included cleaning the walls of the tombs and strengthening them, as well AS removing graffiti left by previous visitors. Inscriptions (铭文）and paintings were also preserved.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS.)81. The Pyramid of Chefren will be reopened following restoration project in an attempt to82. According to the passage, why were tourists unwilling to go to Egypt after the unrest in 2011?83. What else does the Egyptian government plan to do in the coming months to help the country's tourismindustry?84. A site management plan was carried out in the 1990s because_______________________________.第II卷（共45分）I.

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)She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house." “No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That’s why it w as such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking the four puppies I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.65. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoyed.D. Upset.66. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie________.A. felt worriedB. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire67. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ________.A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingsC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old house68. The passage is organized in order of ________.A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexity(B)69. Probably most injuries happen to skaters’ wrists because ________.A. few skaters wear wrist guardsB. the wrist is the most fragile (脆弱的) body partC. skaters often push out their hands when fallingD. skaters don’t know how to protect their wrists70. ________ are the majority in the study.A. Those who wore helmetsB. Those who wore wrist guardsC. Those who wore knee padsD. Those who wore no protective gear71. What was the main point of the study?A. To encourage people to learn skating.B. To advise skaters to wear safety pads.C. To advertise for skating protective gear.D. To introduce ways of protecting skaters.(C)Almost a decade after the hit Finding Nemo made clownfish seem totally warm and lovable, environmentalists are now looking for a real-life sequel: Saving Nemo.In the United States, a request has been made to extend the protections of the Endangered Species Act to marine species including the clownfish.But before you start shedding tears for Nemo and his buddies, keep in mind that this request is not based on any evidence of a decline in the clownfish population. Instead, what has sparked concern is the worsening health of coral reefs, which more than one million aquatic species including the clownfish depend on to thrive, even survive.In ways it makes more sense to move to protect a species when its habitat declines rather than its actual population. The most important mission of the Endangered Species Act is the protection of species’ habitats; without their habitats, there’s almost no hope of saving endangered animals, except perhaps in a zoo.Earlier this y ear, alarming news came about the world’s largest coral reef system, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR, 大堡礁). A study has shown the Reef is in sharp decline, with half of its coral cover gone in the past 27 years.Katharina Fabricius, an Australian coral reef ecologist co-authoring the study, has been diving and working on the GBR since 1988—and has watched the decline. “There are still a lot of fish ... but not the same color and diversity as in the past,” she said.The study team used information from more than 2,000 surveys to determine the rate of decline between 1985 and 2012. That overall 50-percent decline, they estimate, is a yearly loss of about 3.4 percent of the Reef. If the trend continued, the coral cover could halve again by 2022.Several main factors are responsible for the decline, the study found. Intense tropical cyclones (热带气旋), believed to be fueled by global warming, have caused massive damage to reefs in the central and southern parts of the Reef. Meanwhile, population explosions of the coral-consuming crown-of-thorns starfish (长棘海星) have affected coral populations along the length of the Reef. Two severe coral bleaching (变白) events, caused by ocean warming, have also had major damaging impacts in northern and central parts of the GBR.72. A request has been made in the United States to save the clownfish because ________.A. it is a totally warm and lovable speciesB. the health of its habitat is worseningC. its population has dropped sharplyD. few clownfish can be found in zoos72. What does the underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. To feed oneself.B. To keep oneself safe.C. To grow and develop well.D. To attract attention.74. According to the article, what is the AUTHOR'S attitude toward the request in the U.S.?A. He/she supports it.B. He/she finds it ridiculous.C. He/she thinks it is reasonable but needs revising.D. There's no WAY to tell.75. According to the article, all of the following factors contribute to the decline of Great Barrier Reef's coralcover except ________.A. the growing popularity of scuba (水肺）diving around the ReefB. stronger tropical cyclones fueled by global warmingC. the rapidly growing population of type of coral-eating starfishD. coral bleaching caused by rising temperature of the ocean waterSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.People are always saying that you should make friends with native speakers to practise the language. Now in the internet age, that's much easier.The best way to strike up a friendship with English speakers online is to find those you share a common interest with. If you're able to discuss a hobby like movies or basketball together it will be much easier to start those friendships.76. __________Getting involved in a forum based on your interests is also a great way to learn words that you might never have met in class. Different people may join different groups or forums, and you have to find the one that suits your case.77. __________so, where do you go to find English speakers with like-minded interests? The most obvious places to look are Google and Yahoo. These popular Internet sites are bursting with groups and forums.Once you've found a group that suits you, spend some time thinking about what you want to say in your first post. it's a good idea to introduce yourself, give your nickname and age, say where you're from, and tell what your interests are.78. __________This is generally the fastest way to get involved in a forum and to introduce yourself to others. On a movie forum you could ask something like, “I've just seen the movie Revolutionary Road. I thought it was brilliant. Has anyone read the book?”79. __________: To find someone to talk to using Skype, check out his site. simply put Skype in the search engine and that will bring up the many people who have posted a desire to practice their English using Skype. Its chatrooms are also good places to find English speakers.: The website is an online language exchange community. There are even lesson plans to help structure the conversation./en: The British Council's English online website is another place with lively forums worth checking out. Or you could join a Facebook group. There are thousands on the website.80. __________One common mistake people make when they approach English speakers online is to begin by saying that they want to be friends to improve their English.While this may be the truth, don't say it. it suggests you have little interest in a real friendship.Be imaginative in approaching people. Perhaps you see that someone is from a certain country that you would like to visit. Tell them so, and then ask if they can tell you a bit about it. Then tell them about yours.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When your country relies heavily on tourism and you lose more than a third of your visitors due to political revolution, you've got to do something pretty dramatic to get them back. And if you are Egypt, you reopen a pyramid.The Egyptian government recently announced that one of its great pyramids 一the Pyramid of Chefren 一and as many as six other ancient tombs at the Giza Necropolis (吉萨金字塔群) will be reopened after a long restoration project. The move was made in an attempt to revive (重振) a tourism industry that was badly affected by last year's unrest.Egypt became a no-go area following the unrest in 2011. Scenes of violent protests, mainly in the Capital Cairo, were broadcast ACROSS the world and understandably took the country off the holiday trail.Despite that questions are still being asked about the security of potential tourists visiting the region, Egypt's antiquities minister Muhammad Ibrahim insisted that it was a safe country. He said the region was far more stable one year on, adding that other archaeological (考古的) sites were due to be opened across Egypt in coming months.The Pyramid of Chefren, also known as the Pyramid of Chafren, is the second largest pyramid at the Giza site. It was built as the tomb for the Pharaoh Chafren from ancient Egypt's fourth dynasty. The pyramid and the other around it, were discovered in 1927 by American archaeologist George Reinser, and have been closed for restoration on several other occasions in the past.In 1990s a site management plan was carried out to try and preserve these historic treasures when the antiquities ministry discovered that the large volume of visitors over the years had raised levels of humidity inside the structures to levels of up to 80 percent. Research found that every visitor to the pyramids released an average of 20 grams of water vapor through sweat, which slowly caused damage to the walls inside.The project, which cost around $4 million, included cleaning the walls of the tombs and strengthening them, as well AS removing graffiti left by previous visitors. Inscriptions (铭文）and paintings were also preserved.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS.)81. The Pyramid of Chefren will be reopened following restoration project in an attempt to82. According to the passage, why were tourists unwilling to go to Egypt after the unrest in 2011?83. What else does the Egyptian government plan to do in the coming months to help the country's tourismindustry?84. A site management plan was carried out in the 1990s because_______________________________.第II卷（共45分）I.

2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——完形填空（长宁）All over the world, people admire the beauty and grace of butterflies. Butterflies come in every color imaginable, and their 50 display an incredible variety of patterns. The largest butterfly, Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, has a wingspan (翼展) of up to 280 millimeters and lives in Papua New Guinea. The smallest, the Western Pygmy Blue in the southern U.S., has a wingspan of only 12 millimeters. Sadly, some of these beautiful creatures are now 51 .Estimates indicate that between 15 and 20 thousand species of butterflies exist around the world. A number of these species are endangered, over 20 in Japan 52 . Although that number may seem small, losing even one species would be 53 . Nowadays scientists even look to butterflies as a 54 of the environment’s health, since they are 55 to environmental changes. Many environmentalists around the world are eager to protect the endangered butterflies from extinction. The American Museum of Natural History in New York, for example, has an unusual butterfly exhibit. This exhibit 56 the important role that butterflies play in our environment.In recent years, environmental groups have made significant progress in 57 endangered butterfly populations. Governments throughout Asia have passed laws to help protect endangered wildlife, including butterflies. An area called Butterfly Valley in Assam, India, has become the focus of conscious 58 to protect the butterflies’ habitat(栖息地). Other projects in Serbia, Japan, and Canada are also hoping to 59 . Some of these efforts are already starting to work. The population of the El Segundo Blue Butterfly in California, for instance, has increased by 8 percent since 2010.Finding a cure for the butterfly crisis is, 60 , not just for environmental groups. 61 citizens can plant butterfly gardens to support and enjoy these gentle creatures. A group of female prisoners in Belfair, Washington, are helping to rescue an endangered species called Taylor’s Checkerspot. They recognize how 62 seemingly insignificant creatures can be. The world cannot afford to lose any butterflies. As environmentalist John Muir once 63 , “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it 64 to everything else in the Universe.”50.

Through background checks, employers can also make sure that the information applicants provide is truthful, which __51__ the applicants' moral quality.Then what do background checks investigate? Many include a review of the employee's employment history trying to confirm whether the employeehas ever been fired or forced to __52__ . Employers also pay attention to the length of unemployment, afraid that long-time __53__ from work may bring negative influence to the employee's performance. Sometimes, an applicant's residential history is also an issue. Jobs With state or local governments often require that the employee live in certain areas, reducing the chances for them to have contact with __54__ people. Besides living near the work place is always welcome as it saves time and fares on __55__ . Another item which can't be neglected is the applicant's criminal history as in whether he has ever been arrested or put into prison. Although __56__ like traffic ticketing or queue jumping are usually pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely __57__ and, in most cases, is sure to result in the ending of the employment. Then comes the social history. A background check that involves the applicant's social history is __58__ needed for government posts or employment in finance and law industries that require greater self __59__ . A small mistake in these posts may result in huge loss. The investigation usually checks drug use, family relationships and social contacts, in order to __60__ hiring someone unsuitable for the posts. Background investigators who __61__ social history may interview neighbors and professional references __62__ by the applicant.Finally in the field Of education background, an application form may ask for copies of licenses or University diplomas to show the applicant's __63__ performances.

If animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals’ intelligence, scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill __50__ into an animal’s brain by its genetic heritage (基因遗传). Tricks can be learned by repetition, but no real thinking is __51__. Cuing, in which animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals, does not demonstrate intelligence. Scientists believe that insight, the ability to use tools, and communication using human language are all __52__ measures of the mental ability of animals.When judging animal intelligence, scientists look for insight, which they define as a flash of sudden understanding. When a young gorilla (大猩猩) could not reach fruit from a tree, she noticed crates (木板箱) on the lawn near the tree. She __53__ the crates into a pyramid, then climbed on them to reach her __54__. The gorilla’s insight allowed her to solve a new problem without trial and error.The ability to use tools is also an important sign of intelligence. Crows (乌鸦) use sticks to pry (撬开) peanuts out of cracks. The crow __55__intelligence by showing it has learned what a stick can do. __56__ , otter (水獭) use rocks to crack open crab shells in order to get at the meat.Many animals have learned to communicate using human language. One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 250 __57__ symbols on a keyboard. These symbols __58__ human words. An amazing parrot can __59__ five objects of two different types. He can understand the difference between the number, color, and kind of object. The ability to __60__ is a basic thinking skill. In addition, he seems to use language to express his needs and __61__. When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first overnight stay, this parrot turned to go. “Come here!” he cried to a scientist who works with him. “I love you. I’m sorry. Wanna go back?”The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than __62__ thought, would that change the way humans interact with them? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or __63__ experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a difficult __64__ even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own.50. A. developed B. admitted C. programmed D. injected51.

Research suggests there is not enough evidence to link the substance to cancer.A(n) 53 petrochemical factory in Zhenhai, which was built in 1975, processes 21 million tons of crude oil each year. The new PX plant will process 15 million Tons of crude oil every year, according to the Newspaper.At first sight, the villagers' 54 partly originated from the plan proposed by the local government to 55 their losses and to relocate them. The land will be used for purposes relating to the project.56 , the article says that the project actually mainly aroused the villagers' anger due to the local government not talking with them 57 about both compensation and 58 .It goes on to say that although 59 had all the relevant details, the villagers were left 60 when they requested information concerning their health and future.The article suggests that the local government draw lessons from the incident and establish effective communication 61 in order to respect the right of villagers to 62 such information.After receiving the information they 63 , the villagers would be more certain about their future and their suspicions could be 64 , the article concludes.50.A.protect B.persevere C.predict D.prevent51.A.enjoyment B.anger C.passion ziness52.A.definitely B.specially C.probably D.potentially53.A.past B.deserted C.existing D.closed54.A.concern B.excitement C.dissatisfaction D.delight55.A.make out B.make for C.make up for D.make of56.A.Therefore B.However C.Briefly D.Moreover57.A.impatiently B.effectively C.negatively D.vividly58.A.relocation B.health C.pollution D.production59.A.manufacturers B.authorities C.plants D.the public60.A.in the dark B.at thebottom C.around thecornerD.beyonddescription61.A.channels B.canals C.tunnels D.events62.A.convey B.present C.access D.eliminate63.A.owned B.doubted C.owed D.required64.A.removed B.enhanced C.existed D.proved50〜54 DBDCC 55〜59 CBBAB 60〜64 AACDA（青浦）Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪汉）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to inform their 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 ,whistling as he went along.50.

Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,” they said.This theory — a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs — has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance,differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’ is at least as important as ‘nature.’ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. This is a message that most of us will find __64__ — even if we haven’t won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss51.

In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 50 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 51when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people 52 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diets. However, such diets might have 53 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carbohydrate diet created certain 54 in the colon that could lead to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the 55 of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.Diets 56 high in protein and lower in carbohydrates have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People should not be 57 from losing weight,” Dr Flint said.58 , he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber (纤维) and a high protein over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.The findings are based on seventeen overweight men who 59 three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with 60amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds (亚硝基化合物) that have been61 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds (源自纤维的混合物) thought to be protective against 62 .Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is 63 ; But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. 64 , experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.50.

Advertising is necessary as a __51__ of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are offered, and of which most of them would never __52__ to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising helps a great deal to promote a __53__ standard of living.In talking about advertising, one should not think only __54__ a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest __55__ , advertising includes a host of other __56__ such as packaging, shop displays and — in the sense of communication —even the spoken word of the salesman. __57__ , the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place.For many years it was thought that it was enough to __58__ goods and supply services, it is only more __59__ that it has become increasingly understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources __60__ those goods can be sold at a fair price within a __61__ time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is essential that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important role in this respect, whether selling at home or in __62__ markets.Approximately 2 percent of the UK gross national product is spent on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Of course, advertising does try to attract the interest of the __63__ consumer, but if the articles when __64__ does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well.50.A.enjoyable B.considerable C.agreeable D.knowledgeable51.A.data B.proportion C.means D.messages52.A.get B.put C.find D.avoid。

As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, __41__ physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that the physician’s order is __42__ or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to __43__that order or refuse to carry it out. Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the __44__. The emotional and physical stress, however, which __45__ due to hard working hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career __46__. It is sometimes required that we work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except __47__ friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand __48__ in our medical system. But if __49__ continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced and sometimes inadequately-trained nurses.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: 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.The famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison once claimed that genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水).

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)You are walking along a lane and never know what you will find. It might be a shop selling oil paintings, or a place where you can buy Dutch cheese. One thing is for sure, you will end up by a canal.Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.The year 2013 will be a good time to explore Amsterdam as the city has a lot to celebrate: the famous canal ring will turn 400 years old. Amsterdam will also celebrate the 160th birthday of Dutch painter of the Van Gogh museum, home to the biggest collection of the artist’s colorful works.The famous canal ring is a trademark of the city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the ‘Venice of the north’. But unlike the Italian town, where boats were originally used for transport, the canals in Amsterdam were mainly used for defense in the 17th century. Today ferries on canals offer a different way to explore the city.But to truly experience Amsterdam, you can’t miss the city’s historic museums and monuments, among which Van Gogh museum is the most famous one. It holds 200 paintings, 700 letters and 500 drawings by the artist. Another famous museum is Anne Frank’s house. Anne Frank became famous around the world because of a diary she left explaining her and her family’s experience as a Jewish girl during World War II, hiding out in a house hoping that she would not be captured by German Nazis.Amsterdam is small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere, but it is rarely dull. Best of all it combines its glittering past with a rebellious edginess.65. Which of the following is TRUE of the canals in Amsterdam?A. They had to be rebuilt after years of use.B. They protected the city in ancient times.C. They were built to provide transport for the city.D. They are the main theme of Van Gogh’s paintings.66. In the passage, Amsterdam is described as a city _____.A. that can be explored by footB. that is completely built on waterC. that has two historic museums in allD. that is famous for its modernization67. What can we infer from the passage?A. People get lost easily in Amsterdam.B. Van Gogh spent his life time in Amsterdam.C. Many Jews in Amsterdam were caught by Nazis.D. Taking a ferry ride is the most popular activity in Amsterdam.68. Where would this passage most probably appear?A. In a museum leaflet.B. In a history textbook.C. In an academic magazine.D. In a travel brochure.(B)Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's a style to suit everyone ？Best for young childrenLeapPad Explorer 2, £68Aimed at children betweenthreeandnine(thougha nine-year-old might find it a littlesimple), it comes in pink or blueand with five built-in educationgames (you can buy more).Besides, the LeapPad does notallow access to the internet — so it is impossiblefor your child to stumble across anythinginappropriate.Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun wayto play at being a film director.Cons: Some of the games are shockinglyexpensive. And the power adaptor is notincluded.Best for teenagers iPad 4th generation, £399-£659 The iPad is still the market leader, and for good reason. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose. Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ‘apps’ (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad. Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors. Best for working parentsMicrosoft Surface, £399-£559Tablets are brilliantfor leisure — but what ifyou want to do a bit ofwork? No tablet can yetcompete with a full-sizelaptop computer, but this is the only tablet thatallows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel andPowerpoint (they are all pre-installed andincluded in the price) and you can buy a prettylovely mini- keyboard for typing letters andemails, which also doubles up as the cover.Pros: The Surface is good for watchingmovies — a bonus when stuck in the airport ona business trip — and surfing the internet.Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on— costing up to £109. It might be cheaper tobuy a laptop (though a tablet is much smallerand lighter).Best for bookworms Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, £109Nearly all tablets let you download books. It's a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase. But most tablets have a shiny screen — which can be very distracting when you're trying to read. The Paperwhite is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering imitate the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark. Pros: Easy on the eye, excellent battery life, 180,000 free books (if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service) plus hundreds of thousands more to buy. Cons: No TV, films, games, internet orcamera.69. The underlined phrase ‘stumble across ’ most probably means ‘___________’.A. meet withB. quarrel withC. compare withD. compete with70. Which of the following about Surface is NOT TRUE?A. The keyboard will add to the cost.B. The keyboard can serve as a cover.C. You have to pay extra to install Microsoft Word.D. You can watch movies or surf the Internet with it.71. If you are a game lover, which tablet is least likely to be your choice?A. LeapPad Explorer 2.B. iPad 4th generation.C. Microsoft Surface.D. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.(C)Seligman is leading the research on what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology. Since World War II, psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken —repairing psychosis（精神病）, and neurosis（精神衰弱）. Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such ‘positive psychology’ he found only 800 out of 70,000. ‘Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,’ said Seligman, a psychology professor of the University of Pennsylvania. ‘My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.’In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. ‘While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time, and we’ve become richer, we’re in an epidemic of depression,’ Seligman said. ‘Depression is 10 times more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.’ Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology’s model away from its narrow-minded focus on mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength that increase people’s happiness. If you want to be happy, forget about winning the lottery（抽奖）, getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can increase our own happiness by making use of the strengths and virtues that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the field ‘Positive Psychology,’ arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than mourning, and, hence, trying to repair, our weaknesses. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.Science has shown that there are several distinct roads to being a happy person — though happiness might not mean what you think. Material goods — even simple ones like ice cream, and massages — are only stimulating things that rapidly give people a boost.To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance your happiness-generating system.72.The distinctive feature of Seligman’s work lies in ______.A. evaluating the psychological state of peopleB. making a study of people who suffer from mental illnessC. focusing the scientific examination on the happy or joyful peopleD. figuring out the exact number of the academic articles about ‘positive psychology’73.What does Seligman mean by saying ‘take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6’?A. We should focus on happy or joyful people.B. We need more and more happy and joyful people.C. It’s difficult to make people happy from a plus 2 to plus 6.D. Happy people also need to improve their level of happiness.74.According to the passage, which of the statements might Martin Seligman support?A. Promotion leads to true happiness.B. We can rely on our strengths for happiness.C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.75.The passage mainly talks about ______.A. strengths and happinessB. ways to cultivate happinessC. development of psychologyD. effect of positive psychologySection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. What is Interpol?B. What was your role?C. How did you become involved in Interpol?D. How was the Interpol office run on a local level?E. How is it different from other police organizations?F. What did you find most interesting about your work?A journalist is interviewing Charles Chang, who is recently retired, about life as an Interpol agent. Interpol is the popular name of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO). 76.Sometimes people think that Interpol is some sort of international police force, but it isn’t. Its agents arrest people, but they don’t chase criminals from country to country. Instead, each ICPO member sets up a central bureau that acts as a window for joint operations and exchanging information on criminal activities. Let’s say, for example, that police in Australia are looking for a criminal in Thailand. The Australian police might not know which police agencies they should deal with. They might also experience language barriers. Interpol acts as a local contact to help police from different countries overcome those problems.77.Originally, I worked as a police office of the foreign affairs police. Then in 1982, I passed the detective’s test for the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) and was assigned to the Interpol Division. My first task was to attend an ICPO conference in Paris, France, with the director of Interpol Taipei, China. That was my first trip abroad.78.I was a police captain from 1982 to 1989. My job was basically to investigate criminal cases that involved a second country. Since criminal cases are usually urgent, I spent a lot of time communicating with agencies from other countries. When we received information on a crime, we took the necessary actions. We made a search or made an arrest.79.When I was involved, international policing was the responsibility of the CIB. There were two sections at Interpol Taipei, China. The first was a communications section that kept in contact with other communications sections all over the world. The second provided operational support services. Like other police at the CIB, its officers were all detectives selected from universities.They had to speak and write in a foreign language like English, Japanese, Spanish or French.80.It was very challenging work, but it gave me lots of opportunities to travel and study abroad. Oh, and I was once responsible for sending two dangerous criminals back from Japan!Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.We delight in the stories passed down to us by oldergenerations. Tales from the past reveal our loved ones’ truepersonalities that we didn’t know before and can unite familymembers. But they are still just small pieces from a lifetime ofexperience, leaving a wealth of personal memories and stories that can go untold.A growing company, LifeBook, is helping people to ensure that the rich, personal histories of our loved ones can be captured in detail in elegant, well-crafted books that can be handed down through the generations. These individual autobiographies, professionally written and illustrated with photographs, hold a lifetime of memories and can form an everlasting family legacy.Linden, who commissioned(委托写) a book on her father from LifeBook, said, ‘It has been a wonderful thing, both for myself and my father. He was quite worried about it at first, but once it got going he established a very good relationship with Will, his interviewer, and I know they had lots of fun and laughs. He started looking forward to the meetings very much, someone showing interest in him outside the family.’Now, LifeBook is becoming increasingly popular as a gift, requested by sons and daughters who wish to preserve the memories of their older loved ones for future generations. The process of creating a LifeBook brings family members closer together as they learn more about the family’s past. And for the authors, LifeBook gives them a project to focus on. It also gives them the benefits of face-to-face companionship in the weekly interviews.For Linden, it was a highly positive experience, ‘I feel very happy because I have given my father this huge gift. It has made him happier and he’s got a newfound interest in life. He’s got more things to talk about and, I think, a sense of great pride.’‘Also it’s something he can hand down to future generations.We’re all thrilled with the book, delighted — and I’m sure he’ll wantto do volume two very soon.’(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOMORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. Tales from the past generations can not only ___________________.82. What does the company, LifeBook, do in those special books?83. Linden’s father started to look forward to the meetings with the interviewer because_________.84. Besides a project to focus on, what else can creating a LifeBook bring its author?第II卷（45分）I.

By the time we are adults， we have the ability to distinguish around 100 ， 000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to 43 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood，but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain andprocesses44for facial recognition.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in45 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA) ， which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars， is from46 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been47thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile ， research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process ， but 48 involves three steps. The first step appearsto be an analysis of the physical features of a person ’s face， which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step ， the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally ， the brain furnishes the information we havecollected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex49is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.(324 words)III.

The question is： Is economic globalization50for all?According to the World Bank ， one of its chief supporters， economic globalization has helped reduce51in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth52to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration ( 交融 ) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people ， these twenty-four countries have seen incomes53at an average rate of five percent — compared to two percent in developed countries.Those who54globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.55， small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in56open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view， believing that economic globalization is actually57the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission onthe Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually58from integration into the world economy and that the poor， the uneducated， unskilled workers， and native peoples have been left behind.59， they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example ， Indian craftsmen who currently seemto benefit from globalization because they are able to60their products may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of61. When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods， or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in ， these small businesses will not be able to62and will be crowded out.One thing is certain about globalization — there is no63 .

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFor some people， music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.”People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调 ). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs.Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result ， songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact ， most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However ， this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties，”says Margaret， a seventy-year-old woman who onlyrecently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret ， scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex ， and it doesn’tinvolve defective hearing . Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’tsee certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊疗). For years，Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert， I just say ，‘No thanks ， I’m amusic ，’”says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”(335 words)65.Which of the following is true of amusics?A.Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B.They love places where they are likely to hear music.C.They can easily tell two different songs apart.D.Their situation is well understood by musicians.66. According to paragraph 3， a person with“defective hearing ” is probably one who __________.A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system67.In the last paragraph， Margaret expressed her wish that __________.A.her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB.she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC.her problem could be easily explainedD.she were able to meet other amusics68.What is the passage mainly concerned with?A.

Asnurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, __41__ physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that the physician’s order is __42__ or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to __43__that order or refuse to carry it out. Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the __44__. The emotional and physical stress, however, which __45__ due to hard working hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career __46__. It is sometimes required that we work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except __47__ friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being affecteddramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand __48__ in our medical system. But if __49__ continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced and sometimes inadequately-trained nurses.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison once claimed that genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水). Now, it seems, there isscientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and —most important of all —__52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,” they said.This theory — a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs —has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reportedfew early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented —whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance runningare largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’is at least as important as ‘nature.’__63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)You are walking along a lane and never know what you will find. It might be a shop selling oil paintings, or a place where you can buy Dutch cheese. One thing is for sure, you will end up by a canal.Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.The year 2013 will be a good time to explore Amsterdam as the city has a lot to celebrate: the famous canal ring will turn 400 years old. Amsterdam will also celebrate the 160th birthday of Dutch painter of the Van Gogh museum, home to the biggest collection of the artist’s colorful works.The famous canal ring is a trademark of the city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the ‘Venice of the north’. But unlike the Italian town, where boats were originally used for transport, the canals in Amsterdam were mainly used for defense in the 17th century. Today ferries on canals offer a different way to explore the city.But to truly experience Amsterdam, you can’t miss the city’s historic museums and monuments, among which Van Gogh museum is the most famous one. It holds 200 paintings, 700 letters and 500 drawings by the artist. Another famous museum is Anne Frank’s house. Anne Frank became famous around the world because of a diary she left explaining her and her family’s experience as a Jewish girl during World War II, hiding out in a house hoping that she would not be captured by German Nazis.Amsterdam is small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere, but it is rarely dull. Bestof all it combines its glittering past with a rebellious edginess.65. Which of the following is TRUE of the canals in Amsterdam?A. They had to be rebuilt after years of use.B. They protected the city in ancient times.C. They were built to provide transport for the city.D. They are the main theme of Van Gogh’s paintings.66. In the passage, Amsterdam is described as a city _____.A. that can be explored by footB. that is completely built on waterC. that has two historic museums in allD. that is famous for its modernization67. What can we infer from the passage?A. People get lost easily in Amsterdam.B. Van Gogh spent his life time in Amsterdam.C. Many Jews in Amsterdam were caught by Nazis.D. Taking a ferry ride is the most popularactivity in Amsterdam.68. Where would this passage most probably appear?A. In a museum leaflet.B. In a history textbook.C. In an academic magazine.D. In a travel brochure.(B)Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's aBest for young childrenLeapPad Explorer 2, £68Aimed atchildrenbetween threeand nine (though a nine-year-old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more).

Since World War II, psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken —repairing psychosis（精神病）, and neurosis （精神衰弱）. Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such ‘positive psychology’he found only 800 out of 70,000. ‘Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,’said Seligman, a psychology professor of the University of Pennsylvania. ‘My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.’In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. ‘While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time, and w e’ve become richer, we’re in an epidemic of depression,’Seligman said. ‘Depression is 10 times more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.’ Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology’s model away from it s narrow-minded focus on mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength that increase people’s happiness. If you want to behappy, forget about winning the lottery（抽奖）, getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can increase our own happiness by making use of the strengths and virtues that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the field ‘Positive Psychology,’arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than mourning, and, hence, trying to repair, our weaknesses. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.Science has shown that there are several distinct roads to being a happy person —though happiness might not mean what you think. Material goods —even simple ones like ice cream, and massages —are only stimulating things that rapidly give people a boost.To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance your happiness-generating system.72.The distinctive feature of Seligman’s work lies in ______.A. evaluating the psychological state of peopleB. making a study of people who suffer from mental illnessC. focusing the scientific examination on the happy or joyful peopleD. figuring out the exact number of the academic articles about ‘positive psychology’73.What does Seligman mean by saying ‘takea plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6’?A. We should focus on happy or joyful people.B. We need more and more happy and joyful people.C. It’s difficult to make people happy from a plus 2 to plus 6.D. Happy people also need to improve their level of happiness.74.According to the passage, which of the statements might Martin Seligman support?A. Promotion leads to true happiness.B. We can rely on our strengths for happiness.C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.75.The passage mainly talks about ______.A. strengths and happinessB. ways to cultivate happinessC. development of psychologyD. effect of positive psychologySection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A journalist is interviewing Charles Chang,who is recently retired, about life as an Interpol agent. Interpol is the popular name of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO).76.Sometimes people think that Interpol is some sort of international police force, but it isn’t. Its agents arrest people, but they don’t chase criminals from country to country. Instead, each ICPO member sets up a central bureau that acts as a window for joint operations and exchanging information on criminal activities. Let’s say, for example, that police in Australia are looking for a criminal in Thailand. The Australian police might not know which police agencies they should deal with. They might also experience language barriers. Interpol acts as a local contact to help police from different countries overcome those problems.77.Originally, I worked as a police office of the foreign affairs police. Then in 1982, I passed the detective’s test for the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) and was assigned to the InterpolDivision. My first task was to attend an ICPO conference in Paris, France, with the director of Interpol Taipei, China. That was my first trip abroad.78.I was a police captain from 1982 to 1989. My job was basically to investigate criminal cases that involved a second country. Since criminal cases are usually urgent, I spent a lot of time communicating with agencies from other countries. When we received information on a crime, we took the necessary actions. We made a search or made an arrest.79.When I was involved, international policing was the responsibility of the CIB. There were two sections at Interpol Taipei, China. The first was a communications section that kept in contact with other communications sections all over the world. The second provided operational support services. Like other police at the CIB, its officers were all detectives selected from universities. They had to speak and write in a foreign language like English, Japanese, Spanishor French.80.It was very challenging work, but it gave me lots of opportunities to travel and study abroad. Oh, and I was once responsible for sending two dangerous criminals back from Japan!Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.We delight in the storiespassed down to us by oldergenerations. Tales from the past reveal our loved ones’ true personalities that we didn’t know before and can unite family members. But they are still just small pieces from a lifetime of experience, leaving a wealth of personal memories and stories that can go untold.A growing company, LifeBook, is helping people to ensure that the rich, personal histories of our loved ones can be captured in detail inelegant, well-crafted books that can be handed down through the generations. These individual autobiographies, professionally written and illustrated with photographs, hold a lifetime of memories and can form an everlasting family legacy.Linden, who commissioned(委托写) a book on her father from LifeBook, said, ‘It has been a wonderful thing, both for myself and my father. He was quite worried about it at first, but once it got going he established a very good relationship with Will, his interviewer, and I know they had lots of fun and laughs. He started looking forward to the meetings very much, someone showing interest in him outside the family.’Now, LifeBook is becoming increasingly popular as a gift, requested by sons and daughters who wish to preserve the memories of their older loved ones for future generations. The process of creating a LifeBook brings family members closer together as they learn moreabout the family’s past. And for the authors, LifeBook gives them a project to focus on. It also gives them the benefits of face-to-face companionship in the weekly interviews.For Linden, it was a highly positive experience, ‘I feel very happybecause I have given my fatherthis huge gift. It has made himhappier and he’s got a newfound interest in life. He’s got more things to talk about and, I think, a sense of great pride.’‘Also it’s something he can hand down to future generations. We’re all thrilled with the book, delighted —and I’m sure he’ll want to do volume two very soon.’(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. Tales from the past generations can not only ___________________.82. What does the company, LifeBook, do in those special books?83. Linden’s father started to look forward tothe meetings with the interviewer because_________.84. Besides a project to focus on, what else can creating a LifeBook bring its author?第II卷（45分）I.

Butterflies come in every color imaginable, and their 50 display an incredible variety of patterns. The largest butterfly, Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, has a wingspan (翼展) of up to 280 millimeters and lives in Papua New Guinea. The smallest, the Western Pygmy Blue in the southern U.S., has a wingspan of only 12 millimeters. Sadly, some of these beautiful creatures are now 51 .Estimates indicate that between 15 and 20 thousand species of butterflies exist around the world. A number of these species are endangered, over 20 in Japan 52 . Although that number may seem small, losing even one species would be 53 . Nowadays scientists even look to butterflies as a 54 of the environment’s health, since they are 55 to environmental changes. Many environmentalists around the world are eager to protect the endangered butterflies from extinction. The American Museum of Natural History in New York, for example, has an unusual butterfly exhibit. This exhibit 56 the important role that butterflies play in our environment.In recent years, environmental groups have made significant progress in 57 endangered butterfly populations. Governments throughout Asia have passed laws to help protect endangered wildlife, including butterflies. An area called Butterfly Valley in Assam, India, has become the focus of conscious 58 to protect the butterflies’habitat (栖息地). Other projects in Serbia, Japan, and Canada are also hoping to 59 . Some of these efforts are already starting to work. The population of the El Segundo Blue Butterfly in California, for instance, has increased by 8 percent since 2010.Finding a cure for the butterfly crisis is, 60 , not just for environmental groups. 61 citizens can plant butterfly gardens to support and enjoy these gentle creatures. A group of female prisoners in Belfair, Washington, are helping to rescue an endangered species called Taylor’s Checkerspot. They recognize how 62 seemingly insignificant creatures can be. The world cannot afford to lose any butterflies. As environmentalist John Muir once 63 , “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it 64 to everything else in the Universe.”50.

If animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals’ intelligence, scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence.

When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first overnight stay, this parrot turned to go. “Come here!” he cried to a scientist who works with him. “I love you. I’m sorry. Wanna go back?”The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than __62__ thought, would that change the way humans interact with them? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or __63__ experimentation?

This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to informtheir 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satis faction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 , whistling as he went along.50.

Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,”they said.This theory —a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs —has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’ is at least as important as ‘nature.’ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. T his is a message that most of us will find __64__ —even if we haven’t won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss51.

In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 50 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 51when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people 52 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diets. However, such diets might have 53 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carbohydrate diet created certain 54 in the colon that could lead to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the 55 of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.Diets 56 high in protein and lower in carbohydrates have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People should not be 57 from losing weight,” Dr Flint said.58 , he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber (纤维) and a high protein over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.The findings are based on seventeen overweight men who 59 three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with 60 amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds (亚硝基化合物) that have been61 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds (源自纤维的混合物) thought to be protective against 62 .Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is 63 ; But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. 64 , experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.50.
