Each passage is followed by five questions orincomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer-Sheet.Passage 1A happy life and a meaningful life are not the same .Leading a happy life is associated with being a “taker”,while leading a meaningful life corresponds with being a “giver”.Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want. People who are happy tent to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(追求) of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart form animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.We can often find meaning in helping others or marking a sacrifice( 牺牲) for a “greater good”. Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering ( 做义工） in rural schools, for example, is meaningful but also involves hardship.Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and now --it eventually fades away .However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.46.What is the main idea if the passage ？A. A happy life is basically different form a meaningful life.B. Leading a happy life is connected with being a “take”.C. Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want.D. Meaning connected the past to the present to the future.47. Paragraph 2 tells us that the pursuit of happiness.A. sets humans apart form animalsB. is associated with selfish behaviorC. means to give up what one hasD. is unique to human being48. Form Paragraph 3 we know that.A. helping others can make our life meaningfulB. meaning comes together with happinessC. happy people have higher levels of anxietyD. volunteering in rural schools makes a happy life49. It is implied in Paragraph 4 that.A. meaning will disappear sooner or laterB. living a happy life means to be a “giver”C. happiness lasts a relatively short period of timeD. making a sacrifice for a “greater good” brings us happiness50. The passage is organized by.A. giving examplesB. making contrastsC. definingD. classifyingPassage 2Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise .But those who are to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand (占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than able to get up early in the morning.Experts examined the habits of 1,000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive(归纳的) reasoning were measured and academic (学业的) ades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reason in which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance .The night owls also have a greater capacity to think conceptually (概念性地) and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes.Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.51. The underlined expression”morning larks”in Paragraph 1refers to .A. birds which scream late at nightB. birds which sing early in the morningC. People who like to stay up late at nightD. people who are early to rise in the morning52. Traditionally, we hold that.A. Morning larks do not always have the upper handB. Nights owls are generally brighter and wealthierC. Morning larks tend to be healthy, wealthy and wiseD. Night owls often get better exam results in school53. Why did expels examine the teenagers on their habits?A. To measure their inductive reasoning.B. To measure their school performance.C. To determine whether they are night owls or not.D. To know their academic grades in major subjects.54. Paragraph 3 tells US that.A. night owls have a poorer capacity to analyzeB. night owls score higher on inductive reasoningC. morning larks are more likely to get better jobsD. morning larks are more likely to get higher incomes55. Morning larks often score higher in exams, possible because.A. they are generally brighterB. they are early to bed and early to riseC. they have a greater capacity to analyzeD. the arrangement of lessons fits their body clocksPassage 3While drunken driving may be decreasing, traffic safety experts remain troubled how to cope with another alcohol-related problem; drunken pedestrian( 行人) 。

Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It´s an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels,with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it,you step up onto the platform,and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With newer models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that,you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forcesuse Seg-ways,too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They´ re also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer,sit outside a cafe for a while and there´ s a good chance you’ll see a group of tourists passing on Segways.第21题What is the Segway according to this passage?A.A pole that connects two handlebars.B.A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.C.A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D.An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.第22题How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A.Lean to the left.B.Adjust the twist grip.C.Press the left bar.D.Control the gyroscope.第23题How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A.Less than 19 km.B.About 19 km.C.About 38 km.D.More than 38 km.第24题The last paragraph focuses on______.A.what a Segway is likeB.where to find a SegwayC.how to control a SegwayD.when a Segway is useful上一题下一题(25~28/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part.

Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate(房地产)agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house. Although the other offer was slightly less than that of Nancy and John´s, that person with the new offer was willing to pay the whole amount at once. The owner,in urgent need of money,wanted to accept the second offer.Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house. Soon they recovered and involved themselves into their daily lives,though once in a while Nancy would sink into a mild depression over losing the house.One day Nancy woke up in the morning feeling even lower than usual. She kept feeling sick,even lost interest in her routine coffee. She put all these symptoms down to the stress of working hard and losing her dream house. A week passed and she seemed to get worse. John was worried and insisted on taking her to the doctor. The doctor, after taking a few tests, informed them with a huge smile that Nancy was two months pregnant! John and Nancy were overjoyed but also worried about not having their own house before the baby was born.One evening Nancy wandered into the street where her dream house was,and as she passed by it,she was surprised to see that there were notices stuck on all the houses. On closer examination she found that the notices were for all the residents to move out of the houses as they were building a highway and the whole row of houses needed to be pulled down. Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.第25题Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn´ t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn´t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.第26题How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regret.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.第27题What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.第28题What does the phrase "a blessing in disguise" in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luck.B.A dirty trick.C.A secret wish.D.A false alarm.上一题下一题(29~32/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease,but we do always get the same questions in advance of a trip.So here I will give you some travel tips. What should I wear?If you´ re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it—the desert gets chilly at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time,pack as if you´re going to Phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies,bathing suits are normal if there´ s a pool where you ´ re going, but leave the string bikini at home—it is a Muslim country,after all. Last,if you are planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt,ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow,and no shorts for men or women in those areas. What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head,and your body temperature will feel like it´s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera,sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it—AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure,but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine. What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called " Pharoah´s Revenge". The thing that knocks out Pharoah´ s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine,and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box. DON´T drink local water,DO drink bottled water,avoid the skins of fresh vegetables,and you’ll be fine.第29题What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.String bikinis.B.Long-sleeve clothes.C.Bathing suits.D.Shorts.第30题What´ s the use of an Evian Mister?A.To relieve your thirst.B.To prevent sunburns.C.To cool yourself down.D.To drive away insects.第31题What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone doesn´ t work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.第32题What does "Pharoah´ s Revenge" probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curse.B.A legend.C.A disease.D.A vegetable.上一题下一题(33~36/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were on our day off and out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic,so when lunch time came,we set our sights on a small park in town. Since we all had different tastes,we decided to split up,get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.When my friends Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog,just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him,the man surprised us."It looks a bit smaller on the cool side, "he said, "so never mind paying me. This will be my freebie of the day. "We said our thanks,joined our friends in the park,and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate,I noticed a man sitting alone nearby,looking at us. I could tell that he hadn´ t showered for days. Another homeless person,I thought,like all the others you see in cities. I didn´ t pay much more attention than that.We finished eating and decided to head -off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a strong voice, " There isn´ t any food in that bag,is there?"It was the man who had been watching us. I didn´ t know what to say. "No,I ate it already. " "Oh,"was his only answer, with no shame in his voice at all. He was obviously hungry, couldn´ t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.I felt bad for the man,but I didn´t know what I could do. That´ s when Robby said, "I’ll be right back. Please wait for me a minute," and ran off. I watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog,crossed back to the garbage can,and gave the hungry man the food.When she came back to us, Robby said simply," I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. "第33题Why did the seller offer Robby a free hot dog?A.It was offered for a large order.B.The hot dog didn´t look big enough.C.It was a special favor to a lady customer.D.The seller gave away a free hot dog every day.第34题Which word best describes the homeless man?A.Angry.B.Untidy.C.Sensitive.D.Impolite.第35题Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?A.She wanted to thank the hot dog seller.B.The homeless man asked her for a hot dog.C.She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless man.D.The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another.第36题What is the theme of this passage?A.The rich should help the poor.B.One good turn deserves another.C.Kindness is the greatest wisdom.D.A kindness shown,a kindness sown.上一题下一题(37~40/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Whatever you do,don´t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been,in order from 1 to 9. People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp´ s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu´ s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the number disappears. Then,instead of remembering the numbers,he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example,a person may see the number "5"as the color blue. Until now,scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu´ s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.第37题What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in a memory game.第38题Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011 conference.第39题Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experiment.B.From a conference.C.From a research on chimpanzees.D.From the color blue.第40题How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu´ s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.上一题下一题(41~55/共15题)Part IV ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D].

That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyone’s diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience.

Reading Comprehension (38 points)得分评卷人Passage 1Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.1.In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact insocial settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage 2I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, andfor anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind—they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5.We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPTA daily necessitiesB fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsPassage 3Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. It’s no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A.

Difference Choices for AdultsPassage 4Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15．Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16.

Each of the passag es is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a sin gle line throw the center.Passage oneAs world population becomes denser, we will feel greater pressur e from the expanding number of people. Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately, and they feel we should turn to compul sory birth control. Other authorities feel that if birth control is i mposed on the population, the future of mankind would be serio usly jeopardized (危害). They think that very intelligent people w ould be more likely to have fewer children and this would bring about a lowering of the general level of intelligence in the pop ulation as a whole. However, some critics see a fallacy in this a rgument. In addition to genetics, they say, intelligence depends o n an adequate diet, a good home environment, parental attention, and education--- all of which are increasing in the world as the general population becomes more affluent.16. Some people think birth control is _____.A. too strictB. not a workable ideaC. dangerousD. only for religious people17. Critics say intelligence is based on _____ .A. a good home environmentB. adequateC. geneticsD. all of the above18. The word “fallacy” probably means ____.A. False ideaB. Different ideaC. Unique ideaD. Dangerous idea19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The whole world is faced with the problem of increasing pop ulation.B. Some scientists argued that birth control can affect the level of intelligenceC. Genetics is one of the main factors to intelligenceD. Food, family attention and education have nothing to do with intelligence20. What is this passage mainly about?A. Birth controlB. How to develop intelligenceC. Population and intelligenceD. The importance of geneticsPassage twoIt is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the road are bec oming terrible. You might tolerate the rude and in considerate dr iver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule. Perhaps we need a campaign calling for “Be Kind to Other Drivers”, otherwise, it may get completely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of the driver t o resist the temptation to revenge when treated rudely. On the ot her hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving th e tension of driving. A friendly nod or wave in response to an a ct of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill. Toler ance is absolutely necessary in modern traffic condition. But such politeness is very rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem to recognize politeness when they see it.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me that it w ould help if motorist learn to drive correctly into traffic streams without causing the total blockages 拥堵that may give rise to b ad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the expe rts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a l ot more give-and-take平等互让from all road users. It is high ti me for all of us to take this message to heart.21. According to the passage, troubles on the road are mainly ca used by ______.A. people’s attitude towards driverB. the rhythm of modern li feC. traffic conditionD. the behavior of the driver22. The sentence “You might tolerate the rude and in considerate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule.” Implies that ____.A. our society is unjust to well-mannered driver.B. rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motoristsD. the well-mannered motorists cannot tolerate the rude driver.23. By “good sense” (para 2.) the writer means ______.A. the driver’s prompt response to difficult conditionsB. the driver’s ability to understand and react politelyC. the driver’s tolerance of bad road conditionsD. the driver’s acknowledge of traffic regulations24. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-owners hip explosion, _____.A. drivers should be ready to yield to one another.B. road users should make more sacrificesC. drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to other sD. drivers should have more communication among others25. In the writer’s opinion, ______.A. drivers should apply road politeness properlyB. strict traffic regulations are badly neededC. rude and inconsiderate drivers should be punishedD. drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jamsPassage threeWhat do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviou sly, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clo thing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a per son must have a reliable income. But we have other needs whic h would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.We may think of all these as our needs. Yet most of us woul d be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these whichare supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on thi ngs like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of t his extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holid ays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard s of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are sat isfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs cha nges. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, a nd still is in some countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accept ed as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standard of our own country.26. What we need in life is divided into ______ according to thi s articleA. the basic necessities and luxuryB. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and housesC. four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD. the basic necessities and reliable income27. A person who gets the basic necessities must ____ according to the writer.A. have a reliable incomeB. learn how to please his ma nagerC. finish his work ahead the timeD. get a good education28. We all enjoy ____________.A. having only reliable incomeB. having reliable income and extra incomeC. having nothing more than food and clothingD. having nothing more than reliable income29. With time going on, ______.A. a luxury may change into a need which most people want to getB. the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC. a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD. the basic needs can be changed into a luxury30. If most people of a country have a television, we _______.A. can say the television is a need in the same sense as food a nd clothing and shelterB. can say the television must be in the basic necessitiesC. can not say the television is the basic necessitiesD. can say every family must have onePassage fourMovies are the most popular form of entertainment for million s of Americans.

For eac h numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A. B. C and D. choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SH EET with a single line through the center.Nonviolent resistance is not a method for coward; it does resist. If one uses this method because he is afraid or merely because he lacked the 76 of violence, he is not truly nonviolent. This i s why Gandhi often said that if cowardice is the only alternative to violence, it is better to fight. He made this 77 conscious of the fact that there is always another alternative: no individual or group need submit 78 any wrong, nor need they use 79 to ri ght that wrong; there is the way of nonviolent resistance. It is n ot a method of passivity. The phrase “passive resistance ” often gives the 80 impression that this is a sort of “do-nothing-metho d” in which the resister quietly and81 accept evil. But nothing is further from the truth. For the nonviolent resister is passive in the sense 82 he is not physically aggressive toward the 83 , his mind and emotion are always active, constantly seeking to pe rsuade his opponent that he is wrong. The method is passive 8 4 but strongly active spiritually. It is not passive non-resistance t o evil; it is 85 nonviolent resistance to evil.76. A. impulse B. instrument C. courage D. foundati on77.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.When we meet a person, our first impression is based on their body language and their speech. When someone goes up on a stage, or gives a presentation at a business meeting, many pairs of eyes will be following and judging this person. If you are up there and talking, you want to give your best impression. While many workshops and online videos focus on teaching us how to adjust our body language to appear confident and convince others of our message, less attention is given to how we phrase things. Speech should flow, but there is this one little bad habit most of us have—one that builds a dam in our flowing sentences. This habit makes our message sound as if we are building our foundations on quicksand. Do you know which bad habit I mean? It is the habit of using that not-even-a-word in too many sentences, i.e., the habit of saying “uhm”—something we generally are not even aware of. When we let this habit slip into our speech, it weakens our message, and our audience and clients will be less convinced of our claims. The nasty thing about “uhm” is that it’ s often too tiny to even notice. It has become part of our expressions and virtually everybody does it. Therefore, it takes practice and effort to unlearn stuffing our sentences with it. To get a hold of your bad habit of using “uhm” , you can try the following exercises: 1)Record your speech when you prepare: 2)Write out your entire speech beforehand: 3)Take a moment to center yourself: and 4)Speak a little more slowly. Make a pledge today: drop the “uhm”!16．The main topic of the passage is______.A．how to give a good impressionB．how to use body languageC．how to build confidenceD．how to make your speech flow正确答案：D17．By the “bad habit” , the author refers to______.A．speaking very slowlyB．speaking too fastC．speaking in a broken wayD．speaking in a critical way正确答案：C18．The “bad habit” is harmful because it makes the speaker look______.A．stupidB．unpreparedC．unconfidentD．unfriendly正确答案：C19．The word “unlearn” (Para. 5)can be replaced with “______.”A．undoB．stopC．breakD．move正确答案：B20．The last paragraph is concerned with______.A．the strategies to get rid of the bad habitB．the importance of forming good habitsC．the difficulties in speech preparationD．the necessity of being confident正确答案：AIn the old days, when schools wanted to communicate with parents, they sent a letter home. Now, in addition to email, schools and parents can connect through social media like Twitter, Facebook and Skype. The Houston Independent School District in Texas has more than two hundred thousand students. Most of them come from lower-income families. Education Week recently reported on a digital literacy training program that the district has just started for parents. The school district with help from Microsoft has established computer training centers for parents at five of its campuses. Other schools around the country are also increasing their digital services and not just in English. Many schools provide information in Spanish and other languages. Free online translation sites can also help parents stay informed about their children’ s education. Some school systems also give parents online access to their children’s grades and school work. Six hundred students attend Knapp Elementary School near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Principal Joe Mazza says almost one in five students come from Bangladesh and twelve percent from South Korea. The school diversity is clear as soon as visitors enter the building. “So if you are walking in our school lobby, you are going to see English, Bengali, Korean, Spanish and all of the Finnish in the school. Now we feel that a welcoming, bright, informative, child-centered lobby really helps parents feel welcomed, honored andrespected.”21．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a means for schools to communicate with parents?A．Social media.B．Parent meetings.C．Letters.D．Email.正确答案：B22．The digital literacy training program is intended to______.A．help students learn foreign languagesB．better the education of studentsC．help parents to use computersD．promote the development of social media正确答案：C23．Schools provide information in various languages to______.A．better communicate with parentsB．help students to find jobsC．help parents communicate with each otherD．meet legal requirements of the state正确答案：A24．The lobby described in the last paragraph illustrates the feature of______.A．first-class environmentB．convenient facilitiesC．digital servicesD．school diversity正确答案：D25．As can be inferred from the passage, ______.A．students from lower-income families need more careB．students from different countries should be respectedC．schools value their communication with parentsD．parents need to learn more about social media正确答案：CI was nervous—desperately nervous—about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit, and the damage was so bad it had to be given up. And that’s when I had an idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? The more I thought about it, the more sensible it seemed. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family? But my new car-free plan wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were shocked. How would they get to and from university? (A bus, I suggested.)What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car” ? (I wasn’ t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested they take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. Wasn’ t a car essential, when you had children? What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital (erm...an ambulance?). People smiled, as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realise that a car wasn’ t a luxury, it was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ 11 ever own a car again. The idea that you “have” to own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other people do too—in a community that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. Do I really need a car? The answer, for me, turned out to be no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.26．The author decided to live a car-free life______.A．after his car was damaged beyond repairB．after he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC．because maintaining a car was too costlyD．because the traffic jam was too much for him正确答案：A27．Which can best describe the attitude of the author’ s family toward his plan?A．Supportive.B．Understanding.C．Indifferent.D．Opposing.正确答案：D28．What did the author suggest his daughters do in response to what others may say about owning a car?A．Think it over.B．Take their advice.C．Argue with them.D．Ignore them.正确答案：D29．What did the author’ s friends try to tell him?A．It is possible to live a car-free life.B．There is no need for expensive cars.C．A car is a necessary part of life.D．They’ 11 follow him if he’ s successful.正确答案：C30．What conclusion does the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A．He needs to buy a new car.B．He is better off without a car.C．Life without a car is a little bit hard.D．A car-free life does not suit everyone.正确答案：BAs any working mum can tell you, running a business and a family at the same time is an almost impossible act. There are never enough hours in the day and most days spill well into the late evening hours. My story starts with a simple red bump (小包)on my back. Turns out, the bump was actually skin cancer! The diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in my mid-20s and living a very healthy life. Cancer at that point was unimaginable. And, yet, it was all too true. After crying and crying for days, I finally decided to do something positive about my skin cancer diagnosis. After researching, I knew scientists had found that UV(紫外线)exposure as a child leads to skin cancer later in life—especially for fair skinned people—and I did not want my children to suffer the same fate. So, I decided to quit my job and start my own business. Thus was born SwimZip swimwear—stylish swimsuits with protection that block 99% of those nasty cancer causing UV rays. These cute, sun protective clothes can actually save lives! The choice to follow my passion and help prevent children from getting skin cancer was an easy one, but turning that passion into a successful business, while being a full-time mum, was a whole different story. Being a mum and business owner has been very difficult. I often feel like I cannot ever give as much energy to parenting or working as I would like. After several busy work days, I know I have to take a break, leave the phone at home, and just go out and give 100% to my child. Of course, by the time I get back to being CEO, the “to-do”list has grown enormous te (late, late, late!)nights are the norm. Starting a business from the ground up, and while parenting full time, has been an enormous challenge.31．The author is all the following EXCEPT ______.A．a business womanB．a full-time parentC．a sufferer of skin cancerD．a swim wear model正确答案：D32．According to the passage, skin cancer is likely caused by______.A．childhood exposure to UVB．sensitivity of the skinC．unhealthy swimsuitsD．staying up late正确答案：A33．“Late (late, late, late!)nights are the norm” (Para. 5)is closest in meaning to “______.”A．She works more efficiently at nightB．She often reads story books at nightC．She usually works late into the nightD．She normally mails packages at night正确答案：C34．What led the author to quit her job and start her own business?A．She was unable to hold her job because of her condition.B．She wanted to help prevent children from getting skin cancer.C．She wanted to set an example for her children.D．She could earn more money to raise the family.正确答案：B35．The author most likely sells swimwear specially made for______.A．adultsB．childrenC．sportsmenD．infants正确答案：BPart II V ocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.36．We feel sorry______those who died or got injured in the disaster.A．atB．withC．forD．in正确答案：C解析：这是一道语法题，考点是介词的用法。
