Still,your airport journey doesn’t always have to be terrible. Here are some cool airports that will make you forget about all your baggage of travel.Hamad International Airport, QatarThis $ 16-billion airport is famous for its luxury. It features a 25-meter-long swimming pool. The airport is also equipped with quiet rooms, ideal for passengers seeking a pre-flight snooze.

There are over 300 retail stores available and two movie theaters—free of charge—for you to take advantage of. There’s also a fascinating butterfly garden. Here, you can find a rainforest-themed garden with about 1,000 butterflies surrounded by flowering plants and a six-meter grotto waterfall.Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong, ChinaHave you ever wondered what it's like to fly a plane? If you have, then head to the Aviation Discovery Center and hop the plane cabin simulator. This ride allows passengers to see what it's like to actually fly a plane. It will be pretty cool if you’re about to board a real flight in a couple of hours. This airport is also home to an IMAX theater and an indoor, multimedia golf course.Helsinki Airport, FinlandIf you have an appreciation of art,then you’ll love your layover in Helsinki, It’s the MoMa of airports,complete with a 24-hour art gallery and an aviation museum. There are paintings and art installations all over the building. Passengers can also relax between flights in a sleeping pod, an ergonomic seat complete with a pull-up cover to keep out light and noise, storage for yourcarry-on under the seat, and a power outlet for your phone or laptop.1.At Changi Airport, Singapore, passengers have a chance to ________.A.watch a movie with butterflies around themB.make purchases free of charge in the retail storesC.enjoy the beauty of a waterfallD.take photos with a yellow teddy bear2.If you would like to fly a plane, which of the following airports do you like most?A.Hamad International Airport, Qatar.B.Changi Airport, Singapore.C.Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong, China.D.Helsinki Airport, Finland.3.According to the passage, what's the similarity between Hamad International Airport and Helsinki Airport?A.Their quiet space for rest.B.Their luxurious decoration styles.C.Their rich artistic atmosphere.D.Their high-tech equipment.2、In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time wentsomething like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, “No, thanks. I’ve got a good horse under me.”The city planners decided to build an underground drainage(排水) system, but there simply wasn’t enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city’s streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That’s where George Pullman came in. He had devel oped some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews(螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building’s foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman’s signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn’t even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city’s next s tep was to clean the polluted river.1.The author mentions the joke to show_________.A.horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB.Chicago’ streets were extremely muddyC.Chicago was very dangerous in the springD.the Chicago people were particularly humorous2.The city planners were convinced by Elllis Chesbrough to__________.A.get rid of the street dirtB.lower the Chicago RiverC. fight against heavy floodsD.build the pipes above ground3.The underlined word “hoist” in Paragraph 4 means ___________.A.changeB.liftC.repairD.decorate4.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A.It went on smoothly as intended.B.It interrupted the business of the hotel.C.It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D.It separated the building from its foundation.5.The passage is mainly about the early Chicago’s_________.A. popular life styles and their influencesB.environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievements3、The popular TV program Readers has prompted more people in China to practice reading aloud in booths(亭) set up in big cities across the country.As the latest TV show to help people’s love for literature recover,CCTV program Readers invites people from all walks of life to read aloud their favorite poems,essays and books,or even personal letters they wrote to their loved ones.Just as the weekly show has been well-received, its reading booths,equipped with professional recording devices and cameras,have become instant hits.A crowd of more than 200 people were pictured lining up outside the Shanghai Library at 11 am on March 4 -- the first day of the booth’s opening to the public in Shanghai.The deadline for registrations was brought forward to 2 pm instead of the scheduled 5:30 pm, as the number of waiting readers continued to grow.Some waited more than nine hours for a try-out in the booth, according to library management.“There is an old photo in the late 1970s capturing people linin g up outside the Shanghai Library before it opens.If that was a spring of reading in Shanghai,now I think another spring has arrived again,”library manager Zhou Deming,told the Shanghai-based The Paper.The reading booth is the only one of its kind in the city of economic center at the moment,but more are expected to be put into use in the coming months,according to the library’s website.The program has also led to booths in other cities including Beijing,Hangzhou,Guangzhou and Xi’an to appeal to m ore people to read and share their life stories.With the recent boom of culture-themed TV shows such as Readers and Chinese Poetry Competition,some are optimistic that this will help the country love literature and reading again in general.1.What is the aim of the CCTV program Readers?A.To teach people how to read.B.To attract people's attention to CCTV.C.To invite people to read aloud in the booth.D.To arouse people's enthusiasm for literature and reading.2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Some people waited for a long time to read in the booth.B.March 4 was the first day of the opening of Shanghai Library.C.On March 4,200 people read in the booth.D.The time for registrations was lengthened for three and a half hours.3.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.Many people line up to read aloud in reading booths.B.More reading booths will be set up in the future.C.Readers has become popular all over China.D.Readers has inspired more people to read aloud in reading booths.4、 A crew(全体船员)of six teenage girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently, after braving seasickness and strong winds.For the past three years, the Sea Cadet teenagers who set sail were all male. Roger Noakes, who captained(担任队长)the boat, said this was the first time he'd taken out an all-female crew.The girls asked for an all-girls trip in August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls lo sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts(轮流换班)along the coast and then return. Things turned out differently, however. "The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down," said Abby Fairchild, 16. "Everybody got seasick." Noakes gave the girls the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. "But they decided they were going."The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. "We're learned everything from controlling the boat to putting up the sails while we have rough seas," said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn't make it to their original destination (目的地) in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinnert due to the weather and winds.

Until Thursday, the 26-yearold Urschel played for the Baltimore Ravens football team. But not anymore.

He wrote that he loved math, but also loved to play football.Urschel was an offensive lineman. That means he used his large body--over 1.9 meters tall and 136 kilograms--to keep the opposing team's players from tackling his teammates. But also means that he ran into other players over and over again. A study was released about the1/ 26brains of American-style football players. Researchers examined the brains of 1ll former NFL players who had died. All but one of them showed signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. That is the brain disease known as CTE.

It’s responsible for winter tourism as we know it today. It was a small band of English holidaymakers that changed Switzerland forever. In 1864 a bet took place between hotelier Johannes Badrutt and the vacationers on a damp September evening in St Moritz. As they sat around the fire at the Engadiner Kulm Hotel, concerned about returning to the foggy London winter, the Swiss manager saw a golden opportunity.“You holiday here in summer,” he challenged them over a bottle of red wine. “Why not enjoy the mountains year-round? Winter is so pleasant that on fine days you can even walk without a jacket.” Attracted by the promise of clean skies against a backdrop of towering peaks, the Englishmen were pleased to accept it; up until then, St Moritz had been a modest hiking destination in July and August. But if Badrutt’s promise proved false, the hotelier would pay for their journey and winter-long stay. How could they lose?Come mid-December, the group of men returned to Switzerland. Towards the end of their week-long journey, sitting on a horse-pulled---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ sledge and wrapped head-to-toe in furs, they went through the 2,284m Julier Pass in southeastern Switzerland. But by the time of their arrival in St Moritz, the skies had cleared, they were sweating abundantly, and Badrutt, jacketless and with his shirt sleeves rolled up, was there to greet them.Of course, Badrutt won the bet. Word quickly spread throughout Britain about St Moritz’s distinctive climate—dry and sunny with a high degree of snow certainty. Year-round tourism landed the Alpine town of St Moritz.That Badrutt almost single-handedly marketed this undeveloped winter wonderland is a little unbelievable. The first tourist office in Switzerland had been established in the same year as the bet. Other resorts like the ones in Davos and Grindelwald were also popping up then. The story of St Moritz is, in some ways, also a tale of social transformation. But what Badrutt did made the Swiss mountains accessible in a way that no one else had done before, so his role as pioneer cannot be downplayed. 1.What can we infer about Johannes Badrutt? A.He had a good sense of business. B.He was a man with some disabilities. C.He disliked living in mountains. D.He was addicted to gambling. 2.How did the British vacationers react to the bet? A.They refused it because they thought it was unfair.7/ 26B.They’d rather pay for their winter journey by themselves.C.They thought that a jacket-free walk was possible.D.They were sure that Badrutt would lose the bet. 3.What finally made Badrutt the winner of the bet? A.His warmest welcome. B.The hotelier’s courage and wealth. C.The vacationers’ passion for travelling.3---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ D.The unique climate of St Moritz.4.What does the author think of the success of St Moritz?A.Davos and Grindelwald helped a lot.B.He owes it completely to the bet.C.Badrutt played an important role.D.The success was made by tourist office.4、Michelin inspectors, the super secret spies of the restaurant industry, are the anonymous(匿名的) keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They’ve been writing anonymous reports ofrestaurants for over 100 years.“We say it’s a little like th e CIA,” said inspector “M” with a laugh. She asked that heridentity not be revealed. “My whole life is staying under the radar, staying away from cameras,using fake names, trying to steal in and out of restaurants quietly.”Along with their boss, Jean Luc Naret, the director of the Michelin Guide, about 90inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the cooking equivalent (等价物) ofan Oscar, the Nobel Prize and Megamillions jackpot (百万彩票) all at once. The Michelin Guidecovers 23 countries, and out of the 45,000 rated restaurants, less than 100 have the top rating —only nine American restaurants carry three stars.If the name “Michelin” brings the tires on your car to mind, you’re not too far off. TheMichelin rating began in France in 1900 as a9/ 26marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought theircustomers would bum more rubber if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.Inspector “M” admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. “Most of the time wedine alone,” she said. “It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and t he atmosphere andcapture the entire experience.” To cover their tracks, “M” said sometimes two inspectors will dinetogether and write two separate papers. It’s better than saying “table for one”, right?“When you’re really, really into food and very crazy about food, everything else that’s goingon around you isn’t so important,” she said.1.The underlined words “under the radar” in Paragraph 2 mean.A.living in dangerB.being the focus of the mediaC.trying to be unnoticedD.making programs on the radio2.The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to .A.open more hotels and restaurantsB.bring more convenience to driversC.make people familiar with “Michelin”D.make a profit by selling more tires of a certain brand3.Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can.A.cut the expense on the foodB.protect their identitiesC.save trouble by sharing a paperD.talk about the food over the meal4.What would be the best title for the text?A.M’s experience as a CIAB.The legend of---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Michelin brothers411/ 26C.Michelin inspectors: food industry spiesD.Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry 5、 It can be truly terrifying to fall into a frozen lake. ①__________In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.As you first enter the freezing water, you should breathe quickly at once.

AMarineLand Theme ParkWith numerous rides，a variety of wildlife from both land and sea and shows filled with action-packed excitement，no wonder it’s a hit with visitors from all over the world．Whether riding on the world’s biggest steel roller coaster，Dragon Mountain，or enjoying a show filled with fun-loving dolphins and intelligent whales，you’re sure to have the time of your life at MarineLand．Having been in business for more than 50 years，this park has something for every member of the family!Highlights＆Attractions：The King Waldorf Stadium Show：This entertaining，educational and heart-warming show features dolphins，white whales，sea lions，and walruses and is sure to leave you in awe as well as help you understand and appreciate these wonderful marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物)．Arctic Cove：It featuring one of the largest white whale collections in the world，visitors are able to purchase a pass to Arctic Cove where they can touch andfeed the whales as well as view them underwater．Friendship Cove：Breathtaking underwater viewing allows you to enter the magic world of the killer whale below the water surface or on a surface level walkwav．Hotels：Villager Lodge：It is located in Niagara Falls，Ontario．Diplomat Inn：Within half a mile of the Skylon Tower，it is the choice for an inexpensive location．Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel&Spa：It is close to popular attractions and the Scotiabank Convention Center．Days Inn Lundy’s Lane：It is located just two miles from the gorgeous Niagara Falls and the Skylon Tower Observation Deck．Hours of Operation：10：00 am-5：00 pm(Sept．11th—Oct．13th)Phone：417—823—09811．What can be learned about MarineLand Theme Park?A．It is only suitable for kids．B．It was opened fifty years ago．C．It has both 1and and marine animals．D．It has the world’s biggest roller coaster．2．What is special about Arctic Cove?A．It has the largest white whale collection in the world．B．It allows visitors to enter the magic world of the killer whale．C．It features an entertaining show starring various marine mammals．D．It provides visitors with a chance to interact with white whales personally．3．Which hotel suits you best if you have a tight budget?A．Diplomat Inn．B．Villager Lodge．C．Days Inn Lundy’s Lane．D．Marriott Niagara Fails Fallsview Hotel&Spa．BA few weeks ago，I bought a locally-grown salad from a vending machine(自动售货机)．But then I immediately realized that it was packaged in a plastic jar．“I guess I live with this jar now and forever．”I thought sadly as I stared down at my new child．The salad jar was only the latest in a long line of examples of how I am addicted to the responsibility of reusing everything，trying to never throw anything away．Water bottles have been given second lives，and berry containers are transformed into Tupperware．I recently even looked at a plastic straw in my fruit juice：Could I reuse it too…?Yet trying to squeeze my salad jar under my kitchen counter this weekend，I finally had to admit：Being an environmentalist has turned me into a hoarder(囤积者)．While keeping a certain number of jars and vegetable bags will allow me not to buy new containers，at a certain point those 30 berry containers begin to get a bit unnecessary．Who am I kidding?Then one day I came across a blog post that asks accusingly．“Are you turning your own home into a landfill(垃圾填埋场)?”In my defense，there is absolutely no excuse not to be a conscious consumer．The solution is painfully obvious，but hard to admit：Delaying waste is not，in fact，rejecting waste．In an over-packaged，over-consuming culture，this can feel like a burden．While I refuse to throw away packaging，the fact remains：I already have it．The damage is done．I’ve been ignoring one of the most essential and difficult parts—reduce，reuse，recycle．Even if I go out of my way to reuse the waste I do have，I need to reduce what I am bringing home in the first place．While I might not be ready to go full zero-waste，it’s a goal that is admirable to work toward．Until then，my salad jar child is going to make a great overnight oats jar．4．What does the author try to indicate by the last sentence in paragraph 2 ? A．How important reusing is．B．How enthusiastic she is about reusing．C．How she makes use of the plastic straw．D．Why she is responsible for reusing plastic straws．5．Why does the author say she has turned into a hoarder?A．She enjoys collecting a variety of small jars．B．She has saved far more containers than she needs．C．She likes the idea of saving fine packages in daily life．D．She stores more berry containers than other containers．6．What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Over-packaging．B．Delaying waste．C．Over-consuming．D．Rejecting waste．7．The author realizes at last that she should___________．A．buy fewer over-packaged goodsB．throw away unnecessary packagingC．reuse materials as much as possibleD．appreciate the value of recycling materialsCIt is common for adults to use“baby talk”when interacting with babies．This way of speaking attempts to imitate the sounds babies make when they first try to talk．But is this form of communication helpful to a child’s development?Several studies have suggested a clear link between parental language methods and a child’s early language development．Studies showed that language learning in babies was improved when parents spoke more than a few simple words and used a wider vocabulary．Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could have an influence on language development．One such speaking style is known as“parentese”．Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life．Generally，parentese involves adults speaking in a higher voice and at a slower speed．The language is simplified，while sentences are short and often repeated．Studies from the past 30 years have confirmed that babies spoken to in parentese developed larger vocabularies throughout the first three years of life．A new study on the subject，a project of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences，examined whether parents can be effectively taught methods to improve their parentese skills．Naj a Ferjan Ramírez．working in the Institute for Learning＆Brain Sciences，said that the parents involved in the research were first shown the importance of language input for their baby’s development．Parents were then given suggestions on how to use different parentese methods，and then rated on how well they used these methods with their child．She added that the new study is important because there are still a 1ot of parents with little knowledge about how to use parentese to help their child．This was one reason the researchers included parents from different cultural and economic groupings．8．How do parents usually talk with their babies?A．By speaking in a funny style．B．By copying babies’sounds．C．By raising speaking speed．D．By whispering in babies’ears．9．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Babies’language skills are decided by talent．B．Babies’language is improved by simple words．C．Parental language style helps improve babies’behavior．D．Parental language methods affect babies’language development．10．Where can you find how parents were trained in parentese skills?A．In paragraph 2．B．In paragraph 3．C．In paragraph 4．D．In paragraph 5．11．What can be the best title for the text?A．Communicating with babies matters moreB．Parentese is a good way to practice languageC．The more parents help，the better babies 1earnD．Speaking parentese helps with babies’language learningDGwheezie，a nurse，wrote about her heart attack symptoms on social media．“Last Sunday I had a heart attack．I’m alive because I called 911．I never had chest pain．It wasn’t what you read in brochures．”Gwheezie pointed out that she recently helped her neighbor clean out the garden and actually thought it was muscle strain(扭伤)．The pain ran across her upper back，shoulders and equaly down both arms．“I’d just written it off because it wasn’t really bad，”Gwheezie said．She even drove six hours to help her mother the day before the actual attack came．However，she almost died because she didn’t call it“chest pain”．“I was lucky，”she wrote．“And I wanted to warn women our heart attacks feel different．”“Pain that comes and goes seems like a surprising symptom，but it’s actually common for heart disease，”women’s health expert，Jennifer Haythe says.“Some women will experience chest pain，but it may feel different than the typical ‘crushing pain(压迫性疼痛)’men will describe．Other women won’t have chest pain at all，which can be deadly．”Sanjiv Patel，MD，says．“Women are far morelikely to develop untypical symptoms for a heart attack，including indigestion，shortness of breath，tiredness，and arm，neck and back pain，etc．”But there are ways to distinguish if the pain is heart-related．“If you have pain and it gets worse when you exhaust yourself，that’s more likely to be a sign，”Patel says．“If you have pain and difficulty breathing when you’re sitting and watching TV，you get up and walk around and it goes away，the pain is probably not related to your heart．Moreover，if it comes back the next day for a longer period of time．you’11 want to see a doctor．”“Any new symptom that doesn’t feel quite right calls for an immediate call or visit to your doctor，”Haythe says．“Take your body seriously．It’s usually telling you something．”12．Why did Gwheezie post her heart attack symptoms on social media?A．To raise some money．B．To record the process．C．To inform other women．D．To share her lucky story．13．What does the underlined phrase“written it off”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Ignored it．B．Recorded it．C．Treated it．D．Discovered it．14．What do Jennifer Haythe’s words indicate?A．Pain is a fairly rare symptom for heart disease．B．Chest pain may be a good thing for heart disease．C．Women are far more likely to die of heart disease．D．Men have more chest pain symptoms than women．15．How can we distinguish heart-related pain?A．Ftom the breath and sleep．B．Ftom the position and frequency．C．From the tiredness and heart beats．D．From the degree and length．第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Reading ComprehensionSection A (15’)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.(A)This summer we said goodbye to unnecessary plastic waste. Starbucks committed to ___41___ plastic straws in all locations by 2020, IKEA banned all single-use plastics from its stores, and entire cities banned the use of plastic bags and straws. And now we have one more thing to add to our consciousness-raising list: People are starting to understand the ___42___ of contact lenses.According to a new research out of the American Chemical Society, 20 percent of people who wear contact lenses throw them away in the toilet or sink. But as medical ___43___, contact lenses are specifically designed to be resistant to such environm ents, and ___44___ they don’t biodegrade easily. Throwing contact lenses into toilet is particularly concerning because their size and ___45___ allow them to slip through filters（过滤器）meant to keep non-biological waste out of wastewater treatment plants.The study found that the chemical and mechanical processing at these treatment facilities were unable to ___46___ break down contact lenses, leaving them as part of the treated water. Post-treatment wastewater is typically spread on fields, where contact lenses can make their way into surface water and cause environmental damage.It may seem like a small thing, but with over 45 million contact ___47___ in the United States, all that plastic adds up. We are talking about 22 tons of contact lenses being improperly thrown away every year here, unnecessarily adding to the hundreds of thousands of tons of microplastics ___48___ in our oceans.So what is the right way to throw away contact lenses?It turns out that properly dealing with contact lenses is pretty ___49___. One option is to throw them in the garbage. While this will keep them out of our water ___50___, it sends them to landfill—which is not really any better. Unfortunately, you can’t just throw your contacts in the recycling bin and call it a day, either. Due to their size and packaging materials, recycling facilities typically cannot ___51___ contact lensprocessing, so they go to landfills. In order to actually be recycled, contact lenses need to be ___52___ at a specialty recycling facility.This does n’t mean that all eco-conscious contact-wearers must stick to glasses, though. Fortunately, in an effort to ___53___ the waste produced by contact lenses and facilitate the recycling process, some eye care companies have started their own recycling ___54___. Through these programs, individuals can ship their used contacts to TerraCycle（a company that ___55___ in recycling the hard-to-recycle）for free.41. A. eliminating B. deleting C. producing D. saving42. A. role B. function C. impact D. efficiency43. A. terms B. devices C. tools D. equipment44. A. moreover B. nevertheless C. however D. therefore45. A. flexibility B. possibility C. capability D. similarity46. A. restrictedly B. respectively C. comparatively D. fully47. A. designers B. manufacturers C. wearers D. destroyers48. A. floating B. following C. flashing D. flooding49. A. sensitive B. extensive C. concrete D. tricky50. A. systems B. resources C. sources D. energies51. A. control B. handle C. repair D. touch52. A. reversed B. processed C. fixed D. programmed53. A. analyze B. realize C. minimize D. maximize54. A. initiatives B. performances C. events D. conferences55. A. consists B. results C. participates D. specializesSection B (14’)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by questions or unfinished statements. 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.AI’ve become increasingly concerned about the linguistic sloppiness of the average worker, and not those who have learned English as a second language but native English speakers, regardless of income level, schooling or other determining factors.The number of people who read seems to be decreasing. The digital world has become the preferred baby sitter for children and the most effective way for adults to comfort themselves after a day’s work. Teachers, overworked and underpaid, seem to be fighting a losing battle – or are some prolonging it?These days I see glaring grammatical errors on résumés and cover letters, websites, signs, emailsregardless of management skills or income level. Job h unters write asking me for “advise”. People who are in the job market, hoping to be invited in for an interview, write some of these, and the paperwork is full of punctuation and grammatical mistakes. Were they careless? Or do they not know? Maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe the hiring authority doesn’t know the difference either.The other day I saw the back of a company shirt that said: “providing quality service since 10 years.”A company shirt? How many were printed and are worn by employees who walk around advertising that their company has someone in an upper-level management position who didn’t catch the error or, worse yet, didn’t know the difference?Last week a senior level manager emailed me. He confused “its” and “it’s” in three different places. Here’s another example: I do product testing for a research panel. The product came with a slip of paper that said: “This commitment covers not discussing this product or it’s usage with others outside your home.”Here’s what really bugs me: a rule that s eems to have come into effect – if in doubt, add an apostrophe. So what has happened is that people all over America have lost the understanding of the difference between plural and possessive.Your résumés and your cover letter are not just a summary of your background. They are not just an introduction of you when you hope to be considered for an interview. First and foremost, it is a brochure, and it is selling a product, and the product is you. If you wouldn’t go to an interview in blue jeans, don’t send your cover letter and résumés with mistakes to a prospective employer.Don’t rely on Microsoft Word’s ABC/grammar checker. It isn’t able to detect if a word is spelled correctly but used out of context. The grammar checker won’t help you unless you hav e a fundamental understanding of grammar to begin with. In fact, if you defer to the grammar checker’s advice, you’ll probably increase your number of mistakes.An excellent reference book to keep on hand is The Elements of Grammar by Margaret Shertzer. In “Words Often Confused”, it clarifies the differences between pairs of words such as “well/good” and “less/fewer”.Don’t tell yourself it doesn’t matter. Above all, don’t tell yourself that everyone speaks poorly these days, and the hiring authority won’t know or care. The ability to communicate, written and spoken, is of utmost importance – certainly in business. And it only becomes more valuable as fewer people are able to demonstrate it.56. The examples cited in paragraphs 4 and 5 are intended to illustrate ______.A. the employees are proud of their companyB. to err is humanC. holding senior positions doesn’t guarantee correct usage of languageD. managers are so busy as to be careless with their language57. According to the author, when Ameri can people are not sure whether to use “it’s” or “its”, they arelikely to ______.A. use the formerB. use the latterC. ask the author for adviceD. turn to Microsoft Word58. The underlined word “defer” can be best replaced by ______.A. consultB. followC. objectD. yield59. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A. Going to a job interview in smart jeans is better than sending résumés with mistakes to aprospective employer.B. Microsoft Word’s sp elling checker cannot always spot a mistake because it has a limitedvocabulary.C. Some teachers are themselves using language incorrectly.D. The hiring authorities care about linguistic correctness and act as role models.BKettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way.1. Get a medical clearance.Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense.2. Always be aware of your surroundings.Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell.The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them.3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread.Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native.4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell.Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet.5. Practice all safety measures at all times.Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.6. Keep moving once your heart rate is high.After a hard set, keep moving by walking, shadow boxing, or moving your arms to help your heart pump the blood. Stop only when your heart rate is halfway down to normal. Consider getting a heart rate monitor.7. Don’t put your spine into flexion during or after training.Forward-bending stretches and slouching after training, harmless as these seem, could injure your back.Unless counter-indicated, back-bending stretches are recommended following training.8. Focus on quality, not quantity.Gray Cook, physical therapist extraordinaire, points out that motor control goes south with fatigue and “the body will always sacrifice quality for quantity.” When you are no longer able to continue with perfect technique, the gig is up.Instruction cannot cover all possible scenarios and there is no substitute for good judgement. Be a responsible adult, not a victim.60. What is probably a kettlebell?A. A domestic appliance.B. An exercise tool.C. A medical device.D. An offensive weapon.61. Which of the following is recommended in the passage?A. Getting the assent of doctors before using a kettlebell.B. Using a kettlebell when no one is in sight.C. Persisting until exhaustion when using a kettlebell.D. Bending your back forward after using a kettlebell.62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The passage advises caution.B. A kettlebell comes with a heart rate monitor.C. It is undesirable to stop immediately after you use a kettlebell.D. Going barefoot is better than wearing boots when you use a kettlebell.Section C (8’)Directions: Read the following article and choose the most suitable statement from A – F for each blank. There are two extra statements which you do not need.UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. 63___ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 64 .Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _65 .

He came to my room and sat near me. It was then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding. I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat. I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usualpranks though he limped a bit. After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense. I really admired him a lot for his courage.Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. I patted him on his back and came inside. The next day morning, my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty.

But there were no signs of him. Then one day my Dad got transferred to Mumbai. We shifted back to Mumbai. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died?

AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is ofered by EasyJet - from Bristo, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister arline Iberia combine fores from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Miniterios station and takes about 30 minutes.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4. What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D. Underground water was used for the plants.6. What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type oftraumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8. Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A. To raise safety standards of sports.B. To protect athletes from concussions.C. To set rules for health care evaluation.D. To help players return to the game quickly.9. What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13. What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
