Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A.sensitivelyB. practiceC. followingD. existingE. understandableF. buriedG. unfamiliarH. victimsI. particularlyJ. valuesOne consequence of globalization is the increasing crash of old and new concepts. New ideas are always welcome and can often improve our lives but we must ensure they fit well into our 41 culture.One current debate that highlights this crash between old and new ideas is the issue of organ donations 42 untreatable car crashes.Currently in China it is assumed that 43 of untreatable car crashes would be unwilling to donate their organs to others. This has helped lead to a situation where over 1.5 million people need a transfer but only about 10,000 receive a new organ each year. In order to increase thenumber of organ donors, a new policy will require drivers to state whether they are willing to become organ donors or not.The 44 of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful. In America, the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois where drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60%. Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.However in China organ donation is a(n) 45 concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas. Some have argued that the policy puts an evil eye on driving. Others have criticized the project because it predicts death. The strongest criticism has come from those who highlighted that it conflicts with traditional Chinese 46 which state how important it is for the body to be 47 unbroken.No one can deny the greater need for organ donation across the world and especially in China. However, a project that is forced on people, no matter how positive the aims are, will do more damage than good. Policy makers must go carefully and 48 in this area and ensure a system that is see-through and 49 by all.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Success often depends on your performance at an interview. For those who are well prepared, it can be a 50 experience but for others it can be a 51 time. Love them or hate them, though, your job prospects are largely dependent on your interview 52 . It’s not unusual for a company to have fifty or sixty applicants, for a job, so if you are asked to attend a(n) 53 , you are a serious competitor being seriously 54 for the post.Usually companies give you at least a day’s notice of an interview, so use that time to 55 yourself well.

Most companies want to elect someone with his or her own 61 .It’s also important to make sure that you really listen to what is being asked. In your preparation you will have rehearsed answers to a number of imaginary questions; but you must 62 your response to suit the questions.It’s worthwhile spending a few moments after the interview 63 your performance.

A. performance B. result C. interview D. positionSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. 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)Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels!Avoid ―Must thinking‖. Let’s go off the idea that you must do something in a certain way, for example, ―I must get a great score on a test‖, or else. This thought pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Judge your situation calmly, and not as a ―life-or-death‖ situation. Watch the mess. Don’t study in a messy or crowded area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free of distraction.Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller-and-practical-parts. You’ll feel a positive sense of achievement as you finish each part.Ocean Dumping. Imagine yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand bucket. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the bucket. Drop the bucket and watch as it floats away into the ocean.Think good thoughts. Make a set of good but brief affirmations and repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night. You will feel much better in the morning. Imagine yourself succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feelings of success.Use your bed for sleeping, not studying. Your mind may start to connect your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.Comforting Sounds. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical music especially, can help the learning process.Take a walk. Take a short, vigorous walk. Clear your mind.65. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Reduce Your StressB. How to Set Manageable GoalsC. The Cause of StressD. The Study of the Human Mind66.

Vanier Park, 1100 Chestnut StC. 9020 Bridgeport RoadD. 3031 No. 3 Road( C )The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In today’s prosper ous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs. A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task. But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want.In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased. The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods. Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought(主动提供的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France (wine, for example) should be a specialty goods in the United States.People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae(圣代) on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices, quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision. Buying an automobile is often done this way.Shopping goods fall into two classes; those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles. Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(优先) over price, or they will not matter at all.72. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ______.A. a writer needs a word processorB. needs and wants can’t be separated clearlyC. the way to distinguish the products is unimportantD. a computer is a need rather than a want73. The example of wine is used to illustrate that ______.A. goods are classified differently in different countriesB. the types of the product lie on the people rather than its natureC. Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes doD. one product may belong to many types74. Staples are items that ______.A. are convenient to purchaseB. are purchased without enough thinkingC. people ―want but don’t need‖D. people are in constant need of75. Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that ______.A. consumers don’t care where to buy themB. consumers spend much time searching forC. satisfy similar needs of the consumerD. can be found in nearly every shopSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Our space is beautiful. Looking out of the window of a space shuttle, you can see the stars more clearly than you can from Earth. It’s thrilling view. However, what’s out there can be dangerous too. And the dangerous things are often too small to see.77.Above Earth, where space shuttles orbit, there are thousands of chunks of space garbage. They are flying as spaceships, at about 17,000 miles per hour. Sometimes they hit spaceships. On one flight of the shuttle Columbia, the ship was hit 106 times. Most of those hits were not caused by rocks. They were caused by pieces of space garbage.78.A. Our space is beautiful but dangerous.B. There are different ways to deal with space garbage.C. NASA has come up with new plans for space junk.D. Space garbage sometimes hits spaceships.E. Small objects also lead to dangers in the space.F. Space garbage comes from satellites and rockets.What kinds of objects are floating in space today? Some are satellites that are no longer working. Others are pieces of rockets that exploded. The first explosion of a rocket in space took place in 1961. Since then, many others have occurred. An exploding rocket can send out hundreds of bits of metal.79.Space garbage also results from everyday events. Let’s say an astronaut walks outside a shuttle, taking pictures. What if he drops the camera lens cap? It becomes a piece of orbiting junk.A flying bolt may not s ound like much. If it’s flying ten times as fast as a bullet, though, it can be pretty scary. Some space trash burns up by falling toward Earth. If it’s high up in space, though, it won’t fall to Earth. It will stay in orbit.80.What can be done about space trash? This may be one of the most important questions now facing NASA. One answer is to keep track of it. Radar can track a piece of space junk as small as a softball. Before launching a flight, NASA makes sure no other ships or satellites will be in the way. They could also make sure no large pieces of space junk were in the flight’s path. But what about smaller things? What about a piece of metal as small as a pebble? One solution is to invent armor for spaceships. Another is to leave less garbage up there.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Aware that the financial crisis could spread to other sections, the Fed has moved remarkably aggressively, cutting rates by 1.25 percentage points in eight days—a rate-cutting spree(无节制行为) almost unheard of in central banking history. The Fed now has cut rates five times by accumulative(累积的) 2.25 percentage points—and there is no sign that the Fed is done. Thanks to the strategies of Hank Paulson, George Bush soon will sign a bill that will pump some $150 billion into the American economy for U.S. consumers to spend. That kind of coordination(协调) between fiscal and monetary authorities is as exceptional as it is both swift and impressive.Sure, the Cassandras are disobeying the Fed’s actions. Bernanke has been criticized for everything from catering to Wall Street traders to still being behind the curve. But opinions are like a nose—everybody has one. The current noise of criticism against Bernanke is a lot like baseball fans, screaming ―throw the burn out‖ at the game or letting out their depressions on post-game AM radio talk shows. But it’s a lot easier to criticize than to step up to home plate and swing the bat.The reality is that few of Bernanke’s most bitter critics were even smart enough to make it into an introductory economics class taught by Bernanke at Princeton—let alone to run the world’s most influential Central Bank. And to assume that Fed policy is based on responses to such criticism would be as ridiculous as for baseball star Alex Rodriguez to walk over and hand his bat to an unpleasant critic in the seats of Yankee Stadium to take his place at home plate. Thankfully, airline pilots guiding a plane through rough instability play to a less noisy crowd.Here’s the reality. Neither Bernanke’s interest rate cuts nor the federal stimulus package likely will hit the policy nail right on the head. But no real-time decision making is perfect. AsJohn Maynard sKeynes, himself an academic with plenty of real world experience, observ ed: ―It’s better to be nearly right than exactly wrong.‖ The Fed can’t stop a decline, but it can help it be short and shallow. This is a complex, fast-changing situation. Let’s give the Fed and the U.S. government some credit for acting swiftly and firmly.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 81.The Fed has cut its rates steeply in central banking history because it has recognized that _____________________________________________________________________________.82.With the help of Hank Paulson, George Bush agrees to give money to U.S. consumers tospend, which shows that the cooperation is unusually __________________________.83.The author’s opinion about Bernanke’s most rough critics is that they are ______ to run theworld’s most influential Central Bank.84.Since the situation is complex and fast-changing, what does the author approve?第II卷（共45分）I.

III.Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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. During the initial stages of instructed L2( the second language) acquisition students learn a couple thousand, mainly high frequency words. Functional language proficiency, however, __50__mastery of a considerably large number of words. It is therefore __51__ at the intermediate and advanced stages oflanguage acquisition to learn a large vocabulary in a short period of time. There is not enough time to __52__the natural(largely incidental) L1( the first language) word acquisition process. Incidental acquisition of the words is only possible up to a point, __53__, on account of their low frequency, they do not __54__often enough in the L2 learning material. Acquisition of new words from authentic L2 reading texts by means of strategies such as contextual deduction(演绎) is also not a __55__for a number of reasons. There appears to be no __56__to intentional learning of a great many new words in a relatively short period of time. The words to be learned may be __57__in isolation or in context. Presentation in bilingual（双语的） word lists seems an __58__shortcut because it takes less time than contextual presentation and yields excellent short term results. Long term memory, __59__, is often disappointing so contextual presentation seems advisable. Any suggestions on how to use this in educational contexts should be based on a systematic __60__ of the two most important aspects of the L2 word learning problem, this is to say, selecting the relevant vocabulary (which and how many words) and creating the best conditions for the acquisition process. This article sets out to __61__a computer assisted word acquisition programme(CAVOCA) which tries to do exactly this: the programme operationalises current theoretical thinking about word acquisition, and its __62__ are based on a systematic list of the vocabulary relevant for the target group. To __63__its frequency, the programme was __64__ in a number of experimental settings with a paired associated method of learning new words. The experimental results suggest that an approach combining the two methods is most advisable. 50. A. inquires B. requires C. receives D. inspires 51.

But when a storm dumped up to 3 feet of snow on western Maine, a harsh learning experience turned into a crash course in winter survival. Reported missing from their scheduled meeting place in Gilead at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, the eight students and two teachers were not found until 11 a.m. yesterday [Monday], after a pilot spotted the group moving in rugged snow-blanketed area. The discovery followed an unsuccessful ground search by volunteers on snowshoes. After the group was reported missing Sunday, volunteers hiked 3 miles into the woods to look for the students. The five-hour effort turned up nothing and the decision was made to wait until yesterday morning to also canvass the area by air. A Maine Warden Service pilot lifted off and spotted the group close to their intended trail at about11 a.m. Strong airflow prevented him from descending toward the hikers but the group clearly recognized the plane as part of a search team. “They waved at the plane. They laid down, spread out, and waved,” said Mark Latti, a spokesman for the Maine Warden Service. “The pilot then guided a search party into their location.” 68.Before yesterday, the three-day weekend hike was supposed to be a _____.A. fun and relaxing excursionB. ridiculous course requirementC. crash course for wilderness survivalD. challenging learning experience 69.The underlined word “canvass” in paragraph 4 probably means _____.A. intrudeB. searchC. harvestD. exploit 70.Which of the following is in the correct order? ( The group was reported missing. ( A pilot spotted the group in the snow-blanket area. ( A rescue team arrived at the site of the accident. ( A volunteer search group set out to look for the students. ( The hikers waved to make themselves discovered.A. (((((B. (((((C. (((((D. ((((( 71.Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The volunteers gave up the search at last because of the airflow. B. The pilot succeeded in landing besides the hikers. C. The hikers almost stuck to their planned route in spite of the heavy snow. D. The search party went into the woods by air, and saved the students out. ( C ) Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)—and the people with whom he or she comes in contact. Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance. This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days. Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When in doubt, always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands. 72. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to dress properly in a business setting. B. A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant. C. The differences between professional and casual dress. D. Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable. 73. Which of the following statements is true? A. Every company has strict rules regarding office dress. B. You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn’t have high standards for dressing. C. You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules. D. In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you can’t spot a manager among others. 74. Which statement best describes “dress-down days”? A. On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like. B. People’s clothes on dress-down days don’t receive much attention. C. We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes on dress-down days. D. People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions. 75. Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage with regard to business dress? A. Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress. B. Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner. C. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently. D. Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion. Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. The comparison between renewable energy and nuclear energy B. The benefits and risks of using nuclear energy C. The reason for keeping nuclear power D. The panic caused by the leak of radiation E. The main energy source and its problems F. An ideal energy and the proportion it accounts for 76. One of the consequences of the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan on 11 March was, of course, a leak of radiation at the Fukushima nuclear power station on the country’s east coast. Soon afterwards, all the people living within twenty kilometres of the plant were told to leave because of the danger from the radiation. 77. The pros and cons of nuclear power always come up in debates about how the world should produce the energy it needs. Those who think the risks are too great can obviously use Chernobyl and now Fukushima in their argument, while also pointing out that nuclear waste stays radioactive for hundreds of years, and asking what might happen if terrorists ever chose to attack a nuclear power plant. Those who support nuclear power point out that a very small amount of nuclear fuel can create a huge amount of energy, and that unlike the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, nuclear power stations don’t contribute to global warming by pushing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 78. Most of the world’s energy currently comes from fossil fuels, but this can’t go on forever. As well as the problem of global warming there is the simple fact that the Earth has a limited amount of these resources. They will eventually run out although there is a lot of disagreement about when that might be. 79. Apart from nuclear power, which currently provides less than 10% of the world’s energy, the other alternative is energy from renewable sources. These include hydropower, biofuels (made mostly from crops), wind power and solar power, and together they currently provide around 15% of the world’s energy. Some scientists think renewable energy is the great hope for the future not only because it won’t run out but also because it is less risky than nuclear power and produces far fewer greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels. 80. Other scientists, however, believe we will never produce enough renewable energy to fill the gap when fossil fuels begin to run out. That is why, even while watching the very worrying events in Japan, they argue that nuclear power will always have to be part of the solution to the world’s energy problems. Section D Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Frogs, toads and salamanders usually make us think of green, slimy little monsters. These monsters actually belong to a very special class of animals called the amphibians. Amphibians can live both onland and in the water. They commonly inhabit ponds, rivers, marshes and other wetlands. Today, amphibians are becoming extinct very quickly from all the six continents where they are found. More than 25 countries are reporting sharp drops in the populations of amphibians. In some places, embryos (胚胎) are dying; in others, adults are missing. Why are they dying off? Scientists blame human interference. Industrial waste and toxic gases given out by factories, manufacturing plants and cars are steadily poisoning the breeding grounds of amphibians. Chemicals such as sulphur dioxide rise high into the atmosphere and mix with rain. This makes the rain acidic and thus kills off delicate amphibian embryos. More rare species of amphibians are already gone. Costa Rica's Golden toads have not been seen since 1989. The Australian Gastric Brooding frogs are extinct. Leopard frog numbers are dropping in the Rocky Mountains. Leopard frogs live in the wetland regions in these areas. The wetlands are being drained to make way for highways, industry and new housing. Another threat to the amphibians is the increased ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet rays come from the sun and are extremely harmful to living things. They can cause skin cancer in humans. Luckily for us, ultraviolet rays are blocked by a thick layer of ozone above the earth's atmosphere. Ozone is a special kind of oxygen which absorbs ultraviolet radiation. Now, the ozone layer is being destroyed by chemicals called CFC's which are given off by factories. A hole in the ozone layer was discovered over Antarctica in the late 1980’s. As a result, more ultraviolet rays are reaching the earth and more amphibians are dying. Just as the emergence of new infectious diseases such as Bird Flu are a threat to human and animal populations across the world, amphibian species are also facing their most significant threat from a little understood disease. A chytrid fungus is understood to be of the major causes of frog death across the world. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS) 81._____________________________________indicate that amphibians are dying out quickly. 82.What’s the destructive force of acid rain? _________________________________________________________________________. 83.The ozone layer protects people by _____________________________________________. 84.List at least two major factors that lead to the extinction of amphibians. _________________________________________________________________________. 第II卷 （共45分） .

Before yesterday, the three-day weekend hike was supposed to be a _____.A. fun and relaxing excursionB. ridiculous course requirementC. crash course for wilderness survivalD. challenging learning experience69. The underlined word “canvass” in paragraph 4 probably means _____.A. intrudeB. searchC. harvestD. exploit70. Which of the following is in the correct order?① The group was reported missing.② A pilot spotted the group in the snow-blanket area.③ A rescue team arrived at the site of the accident.④ A volunteer search group set out to look for the students.⑤ The hikers waved to make themselves discovered.A.①②④⑤③B. ①④⑤②③C. ①④②⑤③D. ①③④②⑤71. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The volunteers gave up the search at last because of the airflow.B. The pilot succeeded in landing besides the hikers.C. The hikers almost stuck to their planned route in spite of the heavy snow.D. The search party went into the woods by air, and saved the students out.( C )Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)—and the people with whom he or she comes in contact.Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance.This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, recognize that the “real”definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days.Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When in doubt, always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.72. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to dress properly in a business setting.B. A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant.C. The differences between professional and casual dress.D. Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable.73. Which of the following statements is true?A. Every company has strict rules regarding office dress.B. You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn’t have high standards for dressing.C. You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules.D. In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you can’t spot a manager among others.74. Which statement best describes “dress-down days”?A. On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like.B. People’s clothes on dress-down days don’t receive much attention.C. We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes on dress-down days.D. People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on otheroccasions.75. Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage with regard to business dress?A. Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.B. Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner.C. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.D. Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. The comparison between renewable energy and nuclear energyB. The benefits and risks of using nuclear energyC. The reason for keeping nuclear powerD. The panic caused by the leak of radiationE. The main energy source and its problemsF. An ideal energy and the proportion it accounts for76.One of the consequences of the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan on 11 March was, of course, a leak of radiation at the Fukushima nuclear power station on the country’s east coast. Soon afterwards, all the people living within twenty kilometres of the plant were told t o leave because of the danger from the radiation.77.The pros and cons of nuclear power always come up in debates about how the world should produce the energy it needs. Those who think the risks are too great can obviously use Chernobyl –and now Fukushima –in their argument, while also pointing out that nuclear waste stays radioactive for hundreds of years, and asking what might happen if terrorists ever chose to at tack a nuclear power plant. Those who support nuclear power point out that a very small amount of nuclear fuel can create a huge amount of energy, and that unlike the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, nuclear power sta tions don’t contribute to global warming by pushing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.78.Most of the world’s energy currently comes from fossil fuels, but this can’t go on forever. As well as the problem of global warming there is the simple fact that the Earth has a limited amount of these resources. They will eventually run out – although there is a lot of disagreement aboutwhen that might be.79.Apart from nuclear power, which currently provides less than 10% of the world’s energy, the other alternative is energy from renewable sources. These include hydropower, biofuels (made mostly from crops), wind power and solar power, and together they currently provide around 15% of the world’s energy. Some scientists think renewable energy is the great hope for the future – not only because it won’t run out but also because it is less risky than nuclear power and produces far fewer greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels.80.Other scientists, however, believe we will never produce enough renewable energy to fill the gap when fossil fuels begin to run out. That is why, even while watching the very worrying events in Japan, they argue that nuclear power will always have to be part of the solution to the world’s energy problems.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the s tatements in the fewest possible words.Frogs, toads and salamanders usually make us think of green, slimy little monsters. These monsters actually belong to a very special class of animals called the amphibians. Amphib ians can live both on land and in the water. They commonly inhabit ponds, rivers, marshes and other wetlands.Today, amphibian s are becoming extinct very quickly from all the six continents where they are found. More than 25 countries are reporting sharp drops in the populations of amphibians. In some places, embryos (胚胎) are dying; in others, adults are missing. Why are they dying off?Scientists blame human interference. Industrial waste and toxic gases given out by factories, manufacturing plants and cars are steadily poisoning the breeding grounds of amphibians. Chemicals such as sulphur dioxide rise high into the atmosphere and mix with rain. This makes the rain acidic and thus kills off delicate amphibian embryos.More rare species of amphibians are already gone. Costa Rica's Golden toads have not been seen since 1989. The Australian Gastric Brooding frogs are extinct. Leopard frog numbers are dropping in the Rocky Mountains. Leopard frogs live in the wetland regions in these areas. The wetlands are being drained to make way for highways, industry and new housing.Another threat to the amphibians is the increased ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet rays come from the sun and are extremely harmful to living things. They can cause skin cancer in humans. Luckily for us, ultraviolet rays are blocked by a thick layer of ozone above the earth's atmosphere. Ozone is a special kind of oxygen which absorbs ultraviolet radiation. Now, the ozone layer is being destroyed by chemicals called CFC's which are given off by factories. A hole in the ozone layer was discovered over Antarctica in the late 1980’s. As a result, more ultraviolet rays are reaching the earth and more amphibians are dying.Just as the emergence of new infectious diseases such as Bird Flu are a threat to human and animal populations across the world, amphibian species are also facing their most significant threat from a little understood disease. A chytrid fungus is understood to be of the major causes of frog death across the world.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)81. _____________________________________indicate that amphibians are dying out quickly.82.

The ozone layer protects people by _____________________________________________.84.

上海各区2012届高三英语一模试题分类汇编:选标题汇编(宝山A. Our space is beautiful but dangerous.B. There are different ways to deal with space garbage.C. NASA has come up with new plans for space junk.D. Space garbage sometimes hits spaceships.E. Small objects also lead to dangers in the space.F. Space garbage comes from satellites and rockets.Our space is beautiful. Looking out of the window of a space shuttle, you can see the stars more clearly than you can from Earth. It’s thrilling view. However, what’s out there can be dangerous too. And the dangerous things are often too small to see.Above Earth, where space shuttles orbit, there are thousands of chunks of space garbage. They are flying as spaceships, at about 17,000 miles per hour. Sometimes they hit spaceships. On one flight of the shuttle Columbia, the ship was hit 106 times. Most of those hits were not caused by rocks. They were caused by pieces of space garbage.What kinds of objects are floating in space today? Some are satellites that are no longer working. Others are pieces of rockets that exploded. The first explosion of a rocket in space took place in 1961. Since then, many others have occurred. An exploding rocket can send out hundreds of bits of metal.Space garbage also results from everyday even ts. Let’s say an astronaut walks outside a shuttle, taking pictures. What if he drops the camera lens cap? It becomes a piece of orbiting junk. A flying bolt may not sound like much. If it’s flying ten times as fast as a bullet, though, it can be pretty scary. Some space trash burns up by falling toward Earth. If it’s high up in space, though, it won’t fall to Earth. It will stay in orbit.What can be done about space trash? This may be one of the most important questions now facing NASA. One answer is to keep track of it. Radar can track a piece of space junk as small as a softball. Before launching a flight, NASA makes sure no other ships or satellites will be in the way. They could also make sure no large pieces of space junk were in the flight’s p at h. But what about smaller things? What about a piece of metal as small as a pebble? One solution is to invent armor for spaceships. Another is to leave less garbage up there.76—80 ADFEB76.Home is a place where one feels safe and secure but unfortunately, it is also the place where you may have serious accidents. The biggest single cause of accidents is human error! So you must take care of yourself!77.The design of houses can cause accidents. Balconies, fireplaces, staircases, ponds, glass doors or open-plan kitchens can all increase the risk of accidents. Hot water, household chemicals, fireplaces, matches, alcohol and sharp objects are also potential dangers. Loosing balance, clumsiness and being tired or careless can be the reasons for these accid ents. What’s more, if you are under stress or when a routine is changed, you may also be under the risk of home accidents.78.You can see many dangerous home accidents happening around you. The most common ones are slips, falls and collisions. They are not fatal but often result in broken bones. The second most common types of accidents are burns, swallowed objects or breathed in chemicals. They especially affect children and need hospital attendance. Some other possible dangers at home are poisoning, choking, drowning, electric shocks, and animal bites. Some of these accidents may even result in death.79.Sometimes the simplest precaution protects you from the greatest harm! Therefore, it is important that we should educate people. The Ministry of Health can train professionals to educate nursing staff, ordinary people, voluntary workers, teachers, nursery staff and parents in home accident prevention and control. When people know first aid, they can reduce the risk of serious injuries.80.You must take measures to make your home a safer place. For instance, keep knives and other sharp objects in a safe drawer. Wipe up any liquids on the floor immediately in order not to slip or fall. Keep hot objects away from the reach of children. You also mustn’t leave children unattended near a bath that has water in it. If you keep furniture away from windows, you may prevent possible harm. Store all medicines, householdchemicals, and so on, preferably in a locked box and do not forget to keep all dangerous substances in their original containers. In brief, if you want to protect yourself, be careful not to be sorry!76. F 77. D 78. A 79. E 80. B76.Last Tuesday, I came home from school hot, tired, and starving. I had been through a very tiring day, and all I wanted to do was eat. I opened the refrigerator door and searched for something eatable. Luckily, I chanced to find a piece of leftover pizza from the night before. I put it onto a plate and popped it into my microwave oven. Presto! In less than two minutes, my pizza slice was ready for me to bite into. This modern-day invention, the microwave oven, should be considered one of the ―wonders of theworld ‖because it is unbeatable as a food, money, and time saver.77.As a food saver, a microwave oven is definitely hard to beat. Almost any kind of leftover can be reheated in this type of oven, and used properly there is no worry of the food drying out. For example, spaghetti is a mess to try to reheat on top of the stove. It dries out terribly and will stick to the bottom and sides of a saucepan. The spaghetti will also scorch(烧焦 easily if one is not careful. But with a microwave oven, this is a different story with a happier ending. The spaghetti will remain saucy, will not stick, and will not78.Another ―wonder ‖about the microwave oven is the money that it saves. Leftovers that would normally be thrown out can be saved and reheated. This saves food; thus, it saves money. Also, these ovens are faster; therefore, they are electricity. In these days79.Best of all, however, is the time that a microwave oven can save. As a general rule, microwave cooking takes one-third the time that a conventional oven does. Imagine what a delight this would be after a tiring day at work, school, or, better yet, shopping! For instance, to bake a medium-sized potato takes only eight to ten minutes in a microwave oven. So in the time it would take to fry up a hamburger, one could have a hot baked potato to go with it. In addition to speedy cooking, a microwave is wonderful for defrosting (解冻 meat. On low power this oven can defrost any kind of meat in less than fifteen80.Indeed, microwave ovens should be considered one of the modern wonders of the world. I know that it was a wonder for me last Tuesday. That slice of day-old pizza made me feel like a new man!76—80 ACEFBFive Happiness Secrets For Tough TimesSonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years. Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day.76. ________________―You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply ,‖ says Lyubomirsky. ―But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem. Your relationships will su ffe r and your job performance will suffer.‖Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. ―What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.‖77. ________________Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example, Lyubomirsky says, ―Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride.‖78. ________________You don’t need an ex pe rt to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones.―I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects ofthis economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,‖ says Lyubomirsky. ―But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys —what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them.‖79. ________________―If you find a happy person you will find a project,‖ says Lyubomirsky. ―Happy people all have goals they care about.‖Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times. Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt and change!―If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,‖ says Lyubomirsky. ―Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.‖80. ________________When times are tough, it’s easy to skip your regular workouts in favor of mop ping in front o f the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is ―I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.‖But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC (Tender Loving Care. It will go a long way in boosting your ha ppiness. ―Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,‖ Lyubomirsky says, ―take time out to exercise at home.‖76-80: DFAEC76.You cannot change the laws of physics, but could physics actually enable us to travel through time? It might sound crazy, bu t according to Einstein ’s theories, there ’s no logical reason why time travel isn ’t possible and there are now scientists looking into it as a serious scientific proposal, at least at a theoretical level.77. Put simply, Einstein ’s idea was that eve ry object in the universe has itsown ―time ‖, and these vary as objects move. The faster an object moves, the slower its time is, compared to the time of a slower moving object. The extreme situation would beif an object could move as fast as the speed of light, its time would be completely stopped. Butwhatever an object ’ --- or person ’s --- time is, it ’s only evident in contrast to other objects. In other words, they ’re all relative.78.In 1971, after Einstein ’s death, two scientists were able to carry out a crucial experiment. They used two atomic clocks, synchronized them and placed one on a plane, while the other stayed in the same location on Earth. The plane then flew around the world for 80 hours. According to Einstein ’s theory, the clock on the plane would be expected to have lost time, due to being in motion over 80 hours compared to the clock on the ground. When they brought the clocks together and made a comparison, the clock on the plane was indeed a few nanoseconds slower than the other clock.79. So, time is warped --- and this opens up the possibility that we might be able to somehow manipulate it as a mode of travel one day. Already one scientist has published a paper in which he detailed how to build a time machine.80. If it were possible, however, it would present some pretty knotty paradoxes. For example, what if someone or something traveled back in time and changed the future? And have you heard the one about the time traveler who dots back and forward in time and by means of various medical technologies is able to be his own father AND mother?! And besides, if time travel is possible, where are all the people from the future----surely they ’d want to come and meet us poor stranded 21st century beings?76-80 BFCDE(嘉定Robot, it is a word that seems very modern, a word that creates a strong mental picture, a picture of something that looks and acts like a human. Robots are not human, of course, The word robot, and robots themselves, are less than 100 years old. But humans have been dreaming of real and imaginary copies of themselves for thousands of years. Early people made little human statues out of clay. And they cut wood and stone to look like humans.What is the future of robots? The goal of scientists is to create a true human-like robot. Some experts have described this robot of the future as one that can act independently with the physical world through its own senses and actions. Humans have the ability to see, hear, speak and solve problems. Engineers have built robots that have one or two ofThe biggest problem in creating a human-like robot is copying human intelligence. The way the human mind works is almost impossible to copy. A simple computer can do mathematical problems far beyond the ability of even the smartest human mind. But the human mind is better than a thousand supercomputers at speaking, hearing and problem-solving. Several American and Japanese companies are working to develop the senses of sight and touch for robots. The development of these senses will make robotsHowever, the most important human ability--the most difficult to copy--is problem-solving. An intelligent robot must be able to change the way it acts when it faces an unexpected situation. Humans do it all the time. Computers must do it for robots. This means computers must have a huge base of information about many things. They must be able to find quickly the needed information in their systems. And they must make choices about how to act. So far, this is beyond the ability of computers.76.D 77.F 78.A 79.E 80. B(金山A. Independence leading to family break-upB. Women’s easy and convenient life in USAC. No marriage for many people nowadaysD. Average American families getting smallE. Full freedom for young womenF. Divorce --- a social problem in USA76.Marriage, like other social instructions, is showing the strains of modern life. While more Americans are getting married today than ever before, the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise (one divorce for every three marriages last year. Why should this be so, and what, if anything, can we do to reverse this trend?77.For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.78.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live withtheir married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever theirjobs or their interests take them.79. Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up ―bachelor ‖ apart ment. This is the era of women ’s liberation.80. But all this freedom and affluence had had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage. Men and women, no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance, find it harder to accept the responsibilities and restraints or endurance the misunderstandings of married life. When happiness becomes misery, many couples decide too terminate their marriage through divorce. On the other hand, there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional counselor. He listens patiently while they talk, knowing that only through self-understanding can they solve their problems.76 – 80 FBDEA(静安A. New teachers' opinions of involving parentsB. An argument over an assignmentC. A conflict between assumption and realityD. Difficulties in sharing goalsE. The best way to score highF. Proper ways of parental involvement76. An Iowa high school counselor gets a call from a parent protesting the "C" her child received on an assignment 'The parent argued every point in the essay, "recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about my grade, 'it became apparent that she'd written it."77. In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children's education is a priority at their school, but only 25% described their experience working with parents as "very satisfying." When asked to choose me biggest challenge they face, 31 % of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice.73 % of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies. 78. Ata time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into theparent-teacher conference, it's harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.79.Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic:80. When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement(home discussion, home supervision. school communication, and school participation, home discussion was the most strongly related.76—80 BADCF(卢湾There are many ways to help you improve your memory.76.Most people memorize information best when they study in short periods over a long period of time. Memorizing facts from index cards that can be carried with you and pulled out for a few ten-minute sessions each day will yield better results than sitting down with a text book for an hour straight. Index card notes can be pulled out in odd moments: while you are sitting in the car waiting to pick up your friend, during the 15 minutes you spend on the bus in the morning, while you wait to be picked up from school or work, and so on. You ’ll find these short but regular practices will greatly aid your recall of lots of information. They ’re a great way to add more study time to your schedule.77.When you have a list to memorize, divide the list into groups of seven or any other number. People seem to remember best when they divide long lists into shorter ones —and, for some reasons, shorter ones that have an odd number of items. So instead of trying to memorize ten vocabulary or spelling words, split your list into smaller lists of seven and three, or five and five, to help you remember them.78.Give yourself visual assistance in memorizing. I f there ’s a tricky combination of lettersin a word you need to spell, for example, circle or underline it in red or highlight it in the text. Your eye will recall what the word looks like. With some information, you can even draw a map or picture to help you remember.79.Give yourself auditory assistance in memorizing. Many people learn best if they hear the information. Sit by yourself in a quiet room and say aloud what you need to learn. Or give your notes to someone else and let that person ask you or quiz you on the material.80.When you study right before going to bed and don’t allow any interference—such as conversation, radio, television, or music—to come between study and sleep, you remember material better. This is especially true if you review first thing after waking as well. A rested and relaxed brain seems to hang on to information better than a tired and stressed-out brain.76. E 77. A 78. D 79.

On your own, it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression. But the very nature of depression makes it difficult to reach out for help. However, isolation and loneliness make depression even worse, so77.Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter, and your expectations for the future. But you can’t break out of this pessimistic mi nd frame by ―just thinking positive.‖ Happy thoughts or wishful thinking won’t cut it. Rather, the trick i s to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.78.In order to overcome depression, you have to take care of yourself. This includes following a healthy lifestyle, learning to manage stress, setting limits on what you’re able79.When you’re depressed, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing. But exercise is a powerful tool for dealing with depression. In fact, studies show that regularexercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication at increasing energy levels and decreasing feelings of fatigue. Scientists haven’t figured out exactly why exercise is such a potent antidepressant, but evidence suggests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain, increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins, reduces stress, and relieves muscle tension — all things that can have a positive effect on depression.80.If you find your depression getting worse and worse, seek professional help. Needing more help doesn’t mean you’re weak. Sometimes the negative thinking in depression can make you feel like you’re a lost cause, but depression can be treated and you can feel better!76.B77.

They haveasked Pope John Paul the Second to ban turtle meat during the Christian religious observance known as Lent Christians observe Lent in preparation for the holiday of Easter.77. Environmental groups say illegal turtle hunting is one of the major threats to endangered sea turtles in southern California and Mexico. It has been illegal to harvest and eat sea turtle meat in Mexico for more than ten years. However, demand for sea turtle meat is widespread in both Southern California and Mexico. Biologists believe that illegal hunting is one of the main reasons for the sharp drop in sea turtle population during the past thirty years.78. The week before Easter Sunday is an especially deadly time for the turtles. As many as 5000 turtles are killed during this time each year. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans eat turtle meat during the days before Easter. Many people do not eat meat during this holy time in order to obey the rules of Lent. Because sea turtles swim, many people consider them to be fish. Fish is permitted during Lent.79.The Sea Turtle Conversation Network is a union of fishermen, environmental activists and researchers. They sent a letter to Pope John Paul, urging the Roman Catholic Churchleader toofficially declare that sea turtle flesh is meat, not fish of seafood. They say thousands of these endangered animals would be saved if people did not eat them during this religious period. The letter also asked members of the Catholic Church to obey laws banning the capture of turtles in Mexico and the United States.80. About 35,000 endangered sea turtles are killed illegally near the coasts of Baja, California each year. Studies have shown a sharp drop in the numbers of females. They travel from as far away as Japan to lay their eggs on local beaches. Environmental activists say hunting sea turtles for their meat is the main barrier to the recovery of the species. They have urged the governments of the United States and Mexico to improve enforcement of the ban on sea turtle harvesting.76-80. CADFE(普陀76.importance to a public man. But this is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvised by a mere command of the will. The growth of alternative mental interests is a long process. The seeds must by carefully chosen; they must fall on good ground; they must be sedulously tended, if the vivifying fruits are to be at hand when needed.77.they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: 'I will take an interest in this or that.' Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet get hardly any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death,those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death.78.effort, the chance of playing a game of football on Saturday afternoon.

Of these the former are the majority. They have theircompensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays, when they come, are grudged as enforced as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes, the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential.Indeed, it may well be that those work is their pleasure are those who and most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.选标题:76-80 BCDEF(青浦5 Golden Lessons from Steve JobsA.
