This is what you see on Valentine‟s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn‟t allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter which he signed “from your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today.

A Romantic Man(B)Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairy-tales (童话).The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous(匿名) envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news,” Claudia Neumann, the boy‟s mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.‟‟The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing,” Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: “Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know.” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city‟s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.63. The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.A. a churchB. a bankC. a newspaperD. a magazine64. Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?A. The donation amounted to €190,000.B. The donation was sent directly to his house.C. The money will be used for his education.D. His mother felt astonished at the donation.65. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. the donator is a rich old manB. the donation will continue to comeC. the donation comes from the newspaperD. the donator will soon be found out66. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper.B. Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy.C. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in EnvelopesD. Robin HoodSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in not more than twelve words for each question.People need homes: children assume their parents‟ place as home; boarders call school “home”on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers… have noplace to call “home”, at lea st for a few nights．So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Don't they have the right to a home? Of course they do．Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely．Furthermore, driving a camping car during one's travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home——only mobile!And how about maintaining relationships while in travel? Some keep contact with their friends via internet; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well．People find ways to keep in touch．________________________with those who travel or stay together helps travelers feel more or less at home．For instance, backpackers in youth hostels(招待所) may become very good friends, even closer than siblings(兄弟姐妹)．Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home”waiting to be found．Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make the place we stay “home”．67．Why do some put some flowers by the hotel window?68．The underlined phrase “maintaining relationships” probably means ____________________. 69．Fill in the blank with proper words．______________________________________________________________________________ 70．What is the main idea of the passage?______________________________________________________________________________第II卷共30分I.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The friendships never fail to light up our lives. But their power could get stronger with age, and even ___35___ family relationships.A researcher team from Michigan State University, US, recently discovered the large role friendships play in our lives. According to the researchers, friendships can “make a world of difference”, and even influence how we respond to illness.The research involved two studies. The first one looked at survey data ___36___ over 270000 participants of all ages from nearly 200 countries. They were asked information about their relationship, health and happiness.The results showed that both family relationships and friendships were linked to better health and happiness ___37___. However, as people grow older, friendships become more important than family relationships when it comes to ___38___ health and happiness.In the second study, the researchers ___39___ data from a survey of nearly 8000 adults in the US. The study’s aim was to explor e if relationships are related to chronic health problems.It turned out that friendships play an important role in how older adults feel. If you have supportive friends, and you are more likely to be happier and free from health concerns. This goes the other way, too. If your friendships become a ___40___ of stress, you’re more likely to experience chronic illness, such as high blood pressure and cancer.“___41___ of these studies show that friendships predict day-to-day happiness and ultimately how long w e’ll live, more so than spousal and family relationships,” William Chopik, lead author of the researcher, told the Daily Mail.For Chopik, this finding was not a surprise. Friendships are optional – we hang on to the ones that make us feel good and ___42___ those that don’t – but no one can choose his or her family. This means it is more challenging to deal with serious and negative interactions from within our families.“Friendships help us stave off loneliness but are often harder to ___43__ across the l ifespan,” Chopik told VOA.“If a friendship has ___44___ the test of time, you know it must be a good one – a person you turn to for help and advice often and a person you wanted in your life,” he added.III.

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）Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness（孤独） can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation---for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the more severe. Unlike the second type, chronic （慢性的） loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists（心理学家） agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more.

But have you ever given a thought to the science behind this problem?Oliver O’Reilly, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California Berkeley, US, began trying to solve this mystery after noticing that his young daughter could never keep her shoelaces tied. With the help of two of his graduate students, O’Reilly ran real-world experiments in search of a reasonable explanation.“We looked like crazy academics because we were just walking the halls of Berkeley watching our shoelaces come united,” says O’Reilly’s student Christine Gregg. She ran on a treadmill so the team could film her shoes to catch the details.They found that shoelace knot failure happens in a matter of seconds, thanks to a complex interaction of forces.The main cause, accordin g to O’Reily, is inertial forces. Normally, a strong knot has many turns, held together by the friction at its center. The more turns there are, the easier it is to keep it tight.However, stomping one’s foot could produce an acceleration at the base of th e knot. Meanwhile, the laces whip back and forth, pulling at the ends like an invisiblehand. Finally, the knot reaches a point where the acceleration wins over the friction, and it comes undone all at once.“Once you have a little bit of slip, all the for ces change, until [the slip] gets bigger and bigger,” said Gregg. At that point, it only takes a bit of movement for the entire knot to come undone.The team also found that acceleration or whipping alone isn’t enough. They spent an hour swinging their legs and then stomping on the ground, both with little effect.Next, they built a pendulum machine, added weights to the ends of laces, and swung the knots back and forth. As expected, knots failed more often with heavier weights, because the inertial forces were greater.The researchers are confident that their work could shed light on other knotted structures, such as the structure of DNA.“We’re not just trying to figure out why shoelaces come united,” Gregg told New Scientist.” We think this could be app lied to anything that uses entanglement.A knot is really just and entangled linear structure.”66. Which of the following statements is TRUE about O’Reilly’s experiments, according to the article?A. He filmed people walking and running to examine the cause of knot failure.B. He used computer models to describe situations of knot failure.C. He wanted to explain why it takes a long time before shoelaces become untied.D. He got the idea while teaching his daughter to tie her shoelaces.67. We can learn from the article that _______A. short shoelaces become undone more easilyB. more friction on shoelaces could keep the knot tighterC. most knot failures are caused by whipping or stompingD. heavier shoes are less likely to get untied68. Which of the following statements would Christine Gregg agree with?A. The heavier the weights added to the ends of laces, the more easily knots untie.B. The future benefit of the research on shoelaces is still unclear.C. People will soon solve the trouble of untied shoelaces.D. People could stop knot failures by removing inertia force.( D )Have you ever been afraid? Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster? Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test, or your palms（手掌）sweat when it’s your turn to give your report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully (欺负人的人) who chooses you.We all have fears sometimes. That’s true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be. Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn. And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard. Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet. Some people even enjoy being a little scared (恐惧的). That’s why they like to watch scary movies. Usually, our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear. However, sometimes this happens when there doesn’t seem to be anything to be frightened about. When you feel scared but there doesn’t seem to be a clear reason, that’s called anxiety (焦虑). For some kids, the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time. For others, it might appear only at certain times, like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere. For some people, this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do. Your parents can take you to a doctor, who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious. But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself.69. What does the underlined phrase “get butterflies in your stomach” (Paragraph1) probably mean?A. Get angry.B. Get nervous.C. Get hurt.D. Get excited.70. What does the writer want to show in the second paragraph?A. Brave people won’t feel fear whatever happens.B. Children are easier to show fear than adults.C. Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy.D. Fear can be good to people sometimes.71. According to the passage, we can learn that anxiety _________.A. often appears before an important examB. appears when people face some frightening thingsC. can’t b e treated once it beginsD. sometimes doesn’t seem to have a clear reason72. What would be talked about in the next paragraph?A. The great harm fear does to people’s health.B. Who to turn to for help when people feel anxious.C. Some good ways to help people deal with fear.D. What kind of people can easily feel anxious.第II卷(共45分)I. Translation （20分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.73. 年轻人经常发现和他们的父母很难沟通。

TreasureSection B (20%)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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“Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home.This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending.“We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $3,000 a year, just for travel.”As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased.Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York. “The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year.This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.56. Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.A. travel feesB. financial concernsC. poor exam resultsD. worries about living far away from home57.

In case you haven’t noticed, all living things follow very definite, individual rhythms, all as regular as a clock, but what makes them regular?Though many scientists maintain that these rhythms are the result of some outside force like gravity or radiation or both, the results of most scientific researches agree with other scientists who believe that each living thing has its own built-in biological “time clock.”Take the mystery of migration for example. Scientists can’t really explain why many species of birds migrate in the autumn even though the temperature is still summery. The birds just seem to snub the comfortable weather that they are having. When a certain time comes, they travel south by the thousand. In spring time, they migrate northwards eventhough there probably is snow still covering the ground when they finally arrive. Something said “go,” and they did.Animals that hibernate (冬眠) are obeying individual time clocks, too. When their clock indicates the time to take a winter’s nap, they do, and nothing can stop them. At a certain time in the spring, they wake up and come out regardless of the weather outside.Plants appear to have yearly rhythms, such as the sprouting of seeds, and they also have daily rhythms. Notice sometimes that plants raise their leaves in daylight and lower them at night.If you live along the California coast, you can easily observe a demonstration of this mysterious clock functioning regularly. There, from February to September, the highest tides occur exactly every fourteen and four-fifths days, and during these high tides, but at no other time, small silvery fish called grunions surf-ride a wave to the beach. There the female deposits her eggs in the sand and the male fertilizes them; then both hitch a wave-ride back to the sea. Exactly fourteen and four-fifths days later, never before or after, the tiny eggs hatch, and the high tide carries the new babies out to sea.62. According to the passage, the mysterious rhythms result from______.A. the influence of gravity on living speciesB. the effect of radiation on living speciesC. the influence of a mysterious outer force on living speciesD. the internal mechanism inside the living species63. The underlined word "snub" in the third paragraph probably means______.A. fightB. ignoreC. symbolizeD. criticize64. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Hibernating animals are obeying an internal time clock.B. The positioning of the leaves of some plants is due to the daily rhythms.C. The internal clock functioning is demonstrated in the reproducing habits ofgrunions.D. The yearly hibernation is more because of the weather influence than thebiological functioning.65. The passage is mainly about____________.A. the rhythms of lifeB. the reasons of mysterious hibernationC. strange behaviors of speciesD. the timing for different events in the world of species第II卷（共25分）IV.

Reading comprehension(35%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Too much eye contact is instinctively(本能地) felt to be rude, and in a business context, it may also be regarded as a deliberate(故意的) intention to make “the other” feel at a disadvantage. So unless you have in mind doing one of those things, it’s better to___51____too much eye contact.Too little, ___52____, can make you appear uneasy, unprepared, and insincere. In its analysis of patients’___53_____, for example, one large county hospital found, that 9-out-of-10 letters included mention of poor doctor-patient eye contact, a failure which was generally interpreted as “____54___ofcaring.”“Just the right” amount of eye contact—the amount that produces a feeling of mutual _____55___and trustworthiness—will vary with situations, settings, personality types, gender and cultural differences. As a general rule, though, direct eye contact ranging from 30% to 60% of the time during a conversation—more when you are listening, less when you are____56_____—should make for a comfortable productive atmosphere.And did you know these other facts about eye contact?●We reduce eye contact when we are talking about something shameful or __57_____, when we are sador depressed, and when we are accessing internal thoughts or emotions.●We increase eye contact when dealing with people we like,__58___, or who have power over us. Inmore intense or private conversations we naturally look at each other more often and hold that gaze for_____59___periods of time. In fact, we____60__relationships by the amount of eye contact exchanged: the greater the eye contact, the closer the relationship.●We avoid eye contact in elevators, subways, crowded buses or trains---in elevators we face the door, inthe others we stare at our Smartphones—because it helps us____61____the insecurity of having our personal space invaded.●The biggest body language myth(错误观念) about liars is that they avoid eye contact. While someliars (most often, children) find it difficult to lie while looking____62___at you, many liars actually try to “prove” that they are not lying by making too much eye contact and holding it too long.Eye contact is so powerful a force because it is connected with human s’earliest__63__patterns. Children who could attract and maintain eye contact, and therefore increase____64___, had the best chance of being fed and cared for. Today, newborns instinctively lock eyes with their caregivers, and the power of that infantile eye contact still has its impact on the adult mind.

At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great games. The first stamp marking the opening of the White Olympics was issued(发行) on January 25,1932 in the United States to celebrate the third White Olympics. From then on, issuing stamps during the White Olympics became a tradition.To observe the fourth Winter Olympic Games, a group of stamps were published in Germany in November, 1935. The five rings of the Olympics were printed on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the symbol(象征) appeared on stamps of the Winter Olympics.In the 1950s, the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the Winter Olympics came, the host countries as well as the non host countries published stamps to mark those games.China also published four stamps in February, 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to march into the area of the White Olympics.Japan is the only country in Asia that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise funds(经费) for this sports meet.Different kinds of sports were printed on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some athletics.69.Peoplehave published stamps marking the Winter Olympics_______.A.since the first White Olympics in 1932B.when the first Olympic Games startedC.since the third Winter Olympics in 1932D.on the same day of the third Olympics70.From the passage we can see that_________.A.the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the Winter Olympics in 1980B.it was in 1980 that the Chinese began to publish stampsC.the Chinese began to take part in the Olympic Games in the 1980sD.China held the Winter Olympics in 198071.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The third Winter Olympics opened on January 25, 1932.B.Publishing stamps is a way of raising money for the sports meet.C.In Asia only Japan held the Winter Olympics.D.In the 1950s all the countries published stamps to mark the games.(C)Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leaves face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational(职业的) guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all feel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants(受赡养者) with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.72.The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_________.A.certain fierce competition has to be facedB.many employees have no working experienceC.the young people only care about how much they can earnD.schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance73.The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they________.A.have ruined their talentsB.have taken on an unsuitable jobC.think of nothing but their salaryD.are not aware of their own potential74.The word “pathetic” in the passage most probably means_________.A. unsatisfactoryB. miserableC. annoyingD. astonishing75. The best title for this passage would be__________.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Salary Matters Most in Job HuntingD. Suitable Job Make Sense第II卷（共15分）I.

But their power could get stronger with age, and even ___35___ family relationships.A researcher team from Michigan State University, US, recently discovered the large role friendships play in our lives. According to the researchers, friendships can “make a world of difference”, and even influence how we respond to illness.The research involved two studies. The first one looked at survey data ___36___ over 270000 participants of all ages from nearly 200 countries. They were asked information about their relationship, health and happiness.The results showed that both family relationships and friendships were linked to better health and happiness ___37___. However, as people grow older, friendships become more important than family relationships when it comes to ___38___ health and happiness.In the second study, the researchers ___39___ data from a survey of nearly 8000 adults in the US. The study’s aim was to explore if relationships are related to chronic health problems.It turned out that friendships play an important role in how older adults feel. If you have supportive friends, and you are more likely to be happier and free from health concerns. This goes the other way, too. If your friendships become a ___40___ of stress, you’re more likely to experience chronic illness, such as high blood pressure and cancer.“___41___ of these studies show that friendships predict day-to-day happiness and ultimately how long we’ll live, more so than spousal and family relationships,” William Chopik, lead author of the researcher, told the Daily Mail.For Chopik, this finding was not a surprise. Friendships are optional – we hang on to the ones that make us feel good and ___42___ those that don’t – but no one can choose his or her family. This means it is more challenging to deal with serious and negative interactions from within our families.“Friendships help us stave off loneliness but are often harder to ___43__ across the lifespan,” Chopik told VOA.“If a friendship has ___44___ the test of time, you know it must be a good one– a person you turn to for help and advice often and a person you wanted in your life,” he added.III. Reading Comprehension（56分）Section 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.As a new mother, you may be disturbed in the middle of the night by your crying baby. But there is good 45 for all those frustrated mothers, and that is baby sign language. Now, you can 46 communicate with your baby by teaching him / her sign language. 47 you decide to teach your baby sign language, you should proceed slowly. Do not try to make too many 48 at one time that would only confuse your little one. Start with physical objects like toy, bottle, milk where you can show the object. The most important words that the baby should 49 are food, milk, thirst, bathroom, more, etc. Say the word while making the gestures. 50 making the same gestures every time the baby 51 that object or engages in that activity. Within a few weeks, the baby will start using the sign. Introduce a 52 sign, only when he / she has completely learned the previous one. Do not force the baby, if he/she does not respond to the 53 of sign language. If the baby 54 to the sign language in a positive manner, start adding new signs. You can also make use of 55 books and pictures to teach him/her new signs. It has been observed that babies who master sign language by the 56 of 3, have more vocabulary than other babies of the same age. Baby sign language 57 helps to improve the future communication skills of your child. If you carry on with this exercise, your baby will be able to communicate most of his / her needs and demands successfully. That would mean no frustration for your baby, 58 for you. Teaching sign language to your baby requires a little 59 on your part. Ifyou manage to do so, life will be a lot easier for you and your baby.45. A. explanation B. tradition C. comment D. news46.

Each passage is followed by several 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.（A）Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness（孤独） can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind,situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation---for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the more severe. Unlike the second type, chronic （慢性的） loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists（心理学家） agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be very sad, and sometime dangerous.60. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friends.B. just ignore itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teacher for guidance61.

But have you ever given a thought to the science behind this problem?Oliver O’Reilly, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California Berkeley, US, began trying to solve this mystery after noticing that his young daughter could never keep her shoelaces tied. With the help of two of his graduate students, O’Reilly ran real-world experiments in search of a reasonable explanation.“We looked like crazy academics because we were just walking the halls of Berkeley watching our shoelaces come united,” says O’Reilly’s student Christine Gregg. She ran on a treadmill so the team could film her shoes to catch the details.They found that shoelace knot failure happens in a matter of seconds, thanks to a complex interaction of forces.The main cause, according to O’Reily, is inertial forces. Normally, a strongknot has many turns, held together by the friction at its center. The more turns there are, the easier it is to keep it tight.However, stomping one’s foot could produce an acceleration at the base of the knot. Meanwhile, the laces whip back and forth, pulling at the ends like an invisible hand. Finally, the knot reaches a point where the acceleration wins over the friction, and it comes undone all at once.“Once you have a little bit of slip, all the forces change, until [the slip] gets bigger and bigger,” said Gregg. At that point, it only takes a bit of movement for the entire knot to come undone.The team also found that acceleration or whipping alone isn’t enough. They spent an hour swinging their legs and then stomping on the ground, both with little effect.Next, they built a pendulum machine, added weights to the ends of laces, and swung the knots back and forth. As expected, knots failed more often with heavier weights, because the inertial forces were greater.The researchers are confident that their work could shed light on other knotted structures, such as the structure of DNA.“We’re not just trying to figure out why shoelaces come united,” Gregg told New Scientist.” We think this could be applied to anything that uses entanglement.A knot is really just and entangled linear structure.”66. Which of the following statements is TRUE about O’Reilly’s experiments, according to the article?A. He filmed people walking and running to examine the cause of knot failure.B. He used computer models to describe situations of knot failure.C. He wanted to explain why it takes a long time before shoelaces become untied.D. He got the idea while teaching his daughter to tie her shoelaces.67. We can learn from the article that _______A. short shoelaces become undone more easilyB. more friction on shoelaces could keep the knot tighterC. most knot failures are caused by whipping or stompingD. heavier shoes are less likely to get untied68. Which of the following statements would Christine Gregg agree with?A. The heavier the weights added to the ends of laces, the more easily knots untie.B. The future benefit of the research on shoelaces is still unclear.C. People will soon solve the trouble of untied shoelaces.D. People could stop knot failures by removing inertia force.( D )Have you ever been afraid? Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster? Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test, or your palms（手掌） sweat when it’s your turn to give your report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully (欺负人的人) who chooses you.We all have fears sometimes. That’s true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be. Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn. And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard. Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet. Some people even enjoy being a little scared (恐惧的). That’s why they like to watch scary movies. Usually, our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear. However, sometimes this happens when there doesn’t seem to be anything to be frightened about. When you feel scared but there doesn’t seem to be a clear reason, that’s called anxiety (焦虑). For some kids, the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time. For others, it might appear only at certain times, like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere. For some people, this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do. Your parents can take you to a doctor, who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious. But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself.69. What does the underlined phrase “get butterflies in your stomach” (Paragraph1) probably mean?A. Get angry.B. Get nervous.C. Get hurt.D. Get excited.70. What does the writer want to show in the second paragraph?A. Brave people won’t feel fear whatever happens.B. Children are easier to show fear than adults.C. Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy.D. Fear can be good to people sometimes.71. According to the passage, we can learn that anxiety _________.A. often appears before an important examB. appears when people face some frightening thingsC. can’t be treated once it beginsD. sometimes doesn’t seem to have a clear reason72. What would be talked about in the next paragraph?A. The great harm fear does to people’s health.B. Who to turn to for help when people feel anxious.C. Some good ways to help people deal with fear.D. What kind of people can easily feel anxious.第II卷(共45分)I. Translation （20分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.73. 年轻人经常发现和他们的父母很难沟通。
