One of the candidates TIME's editors are choosing as the Person of the Year 2012 is a beautiful, little, dark-haired girl from remote, rural Pakistan who simply wanted to go to school．

On October 9, 2012, 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in Pakistan．She survived the attack and was sent by helicopter to have a bullet removed from her head in a hospital 6,000 miles away in Birmingham, England．Malala has now become the most famous teenager on earth, a symbol of women's rights and has even been nominated for next year's Nobel Peace Prize．

However, Malala is no shallow, empty-headed, media-created idol -she is a real flesh-and-blood young woman who has already challenged the fearsome Taliban militants （武装分子）．Reportedly, she wants to return to Pakistan, where her life would be in constant danger．Such courage would be rare for such a young girl．Malala began writing an anonymous （匿名的） blog for BBC when she was only 11 years old, criticizing the Taliban for their activities in her hometown and advocating for women's education in Pakistan．

"I have a new dream," she once said．"I must be a politician to save this country．There are so many crises in our country．I want to remove these crises．"

How many little girls have uttered something so mature, selfless and elegant as that She also possesses extraordinary courage ?years ago, militants had been threatening her life．In response to these threats, Malala calmly responded: "I think

of it often and imagine the scene clearly．Even if they come to kill me, I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong．

Education is our basic right．"

One hundred and fifty years ago, the world's first underground railway began operating in London, running for just six kilometres from Paddington to Famngdon．Today, the network covers 408 kilometres, with 11 lines running through 270 stations．And despite every major city in the world now having its own metro system, London's is still the second-longest （Shanghai's is the first）．It's no surprise that locals and travellers will all be wishing London's "Tube" a very happy 150th birthday．Londoners have an unspoken code of conduct when they travel on me Tube, and a bit of local knowledge is essential for getting around the British capital．Here we provide some tips and etiquette （礼节） for your next visit to London．Do．．．

Stand on the right on escalators （自动扶梯）, walk on the left -Londoners will be quick at reminding you should you forget this．

Let other passengers off before getting on．

Give up your seat if someone needs it more than you．

Mind the gap （between the train and the platform edge） -they are sometimes pretty wide．

Don't．．．

Block doorways-move down inside the carriages．

Talk to people you don't know．Even if the train is delayed you should merely sigh or shake your head, rather than strike up a conversation．

Travel on the Hammersmith & City or Circle lines if you can help it-they have a poor record for delays and disruptions．

Expect air-conditioning-the low tunnels mean there's no space on most lines to install air-con equipment so expect to set hot and sweaty in summer．40．According to the text, the London Underground ___ _.

Some of the world's most well-known brands, including Ericsson, Volvo and Ikea, all originated from Sweden．The country also brought us the zipper, used by many men in the world on a daily basis, according to Swedish Wire, a news website．With a population of barely over 9 million and gross domestic production （GDP）at about $538 billion in 2011-just a thirteenth that of China-Sweden seems like an unlikely candidate for a leader of innovation （创新）．Yet, for the past three years, it has consistently topped the European Commission's Regional Innovation Scoreboard, coming first in 2010 and 2012, and second in 2011．

Sweden's neighbors, including Denmark ?famous for such brands as Nokia and Lego, are also known for their innovative cultures．

How have these Scandinavian countries managed to make these achievements?

Pasi Sahlerrg, Director General of the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture's Centre for International Mobility, believes the education system is central to the success of Scandinavian countries．A key feature of tins system is that every child's education is personalized and teachers are highly trained．

"In Finland, 'School-readiness' means getting the school ready to meet the needs of its students, rather than getting the students ready for school," said Sahlerrg．Limited homework, no standardized tests and the absence of a national curriculum are intended to teach students how to manage themselves independently and to organize their time creatively -both vital for encouraging innovation．

Of course, there are factors beyond the education system that also determine the rate of innovation．So how to imitate Scandinavia's success in innovation? Foster （培育）a well-educated generation, provide it with the necessary financial resources, establish a supportive policy environment for it to turn the innovative ideas it generates into success．

43．The first paragraph is written to _______．

A．introduce the topic of the text B．describe some quality products

C．list some famous brands from Sweden D．quote a Swedish

website

44．As a leading country in innovation, Sweden ______．

A．was Number One in innovation over the past three years

B．is well-known for its innovative cultures

C．presents to the world such brands as Nokia and Lego

D．had a very high GDP in 2011

45．According to Pasi Sahlerrg, Scandinavia's success in innovation lies in _____ A．school-readiness B．the system of education

C．teacher training D．personalized teaching

46．What is a feature of Scandinavia's education?

A．Loads of homework．B．Strict examinations．

C．No national curriculum． D．Necessary financial resources．

D

Do lobsters, crabs （蟹） and other crustaceans （甲壳类） feel pain? We certainly act as if they don't．Most chefs cook lobsters and crabs alive, usually by dumping them in boiling water．Along with melted butter．That's the appeal of crustaceans-there's no fresher food．We may feel a bit of guilt, or maybe just discomfort, when we hear the creatures rattling （卡嗒响） around the inside of the pot as the water boils．But that feeling usually dissolves for lobster lovers by the time we crack open a claw and dig out the delicious meat．We wouldn't dream of doing the same thing to a live chicken or pig which are dead well before die cooking process begins, but those crustaceans are different．They don't even feel pain．Right?

Actually, they just might．That's the conclusion of a new study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology．Robert Elwood and Barry Magee of Queen's University in Belfast examined the reaction of common shore crabs to small electrical shocks．Ninety crabs were placed in a brightly lit area and were given the choice of moving to one of two dark shelters．（Shore crabs like to hide in dark, tight spaces．） Once they'd made their choice, the crabs in one of the shelters were exposed to an electric shock．After a rest period, the crabs were returned to the lit tank．Most of the crabs went back into the dark shelters, and then the same crabs were given another electric shock．When they were placed back into the lit tank for the third time, the majority of the shocked crabs instead went to the other dark shelter, avoiding the one where they had repeatedly been shocked．

As Elwood put it, the crabs' choice indicated they wanted to escape the shocks: Having experienced two rounds of shocks, the crabs learned to avoid the shelter where they received the shock． They were willing to give up their hideaway in order to avoid the source of their probable pain．

47．According to the author, people cook the crab alive due to the belief that .

A．it is not guilty to treat a crab cruelly

B．it is too hard to kill a crab

C．a crab doesn't feel pain as a chicken or a pig does

D．the crab is a popular and healthy seafood

48．The underlined word "dissolves" in Paragraph 1 probably means _ .

A．becomes weaker B．strengthens gradually

C．comes into being D．remains unchanged

49．In the experiment, the shore crabs ______．

A．were placed into two dark shelters

B．were given electric shocks in the lit tank

C．were able to choose which shelter to go to

D．were put into the lit tank twice

50．What does Robert Elwood and Barry Magee's new study prove?

A．It is hard to tell whether a voiceless shore crab is feeling pain or not．B．Shore crabs react to electric shocks and seemingly feel pain．

C．Shore crabs prefer a dark, tight shelter as their-habitat．

D．Bright light causes discomfort to crustaceans．

Last February, I was on holiday in Beijing with my family．One morning, I was sleeping

soundly while I was woken up by a suddenly cry of my sister, "It's snowing．" I got up quickly,

dressed me and opened the window．Wow, I couldn't believe in my eyes．Everything including

trees, roofs and grass were covered with thick snow．In distance I could see lots of cars, like small

white box, moving slowly on the road．I could also see some lovely birds flying happily in the

snow．How a beautiful sight! I became exciting because I had never seen snow before.

I ran out with my camera and take many photos to record my first experience of snow．第二节：书面表达(满分25分)
