Even thousands of years ago, groups of people gathered to watch skilled athletes(运动员). Over 2,000 years ago in Greece, some days in the year were festival days. These were holidays when people stopped their work and enjoyed themselves. During festivals, people liked to watch athletes take part in races and other games. The most important festival was held every four years at the town of Olympia. It was held in honor of the Greek god
Zeus. For five days, athletes from all corners of Greece took part in the Olympic Games. At the Olympic Games, people could watch athletes run, jump and so on. They could also watch exciting races, which included a relay race between two teams in which a lighted torch(火炬) was passed from runner to runner. The Olympic Games were thought to be so important that cities throughout Greece which were at war with one another had to stop fighting. During the time, people were allowed to travel to the Games safely. Thousands of people came to the Olympic Games from cities in Greece and from its colonies(殖民地) in Africa, Asia, and Italy.

He had been given an important position and now was coming to say goodbye to his teacher. The old man asked him how he would live among high officials. The student answered, “ I will be all right. I have prepared a hundred high hats, one for each official I will meet. I am sure I will succeed.” The teacher got angry on hearing this. “What?” he cried. “Is this what ten years of my teaching has made of you? Nothing but flatterer(拍马屁的人)?” “Excuse me, honored(尊敬的) master,” the student rose to his feet and apologized hurriedly. “But you have always been absorbed in your studies and don’t know how vulgar(庸俗的) the world has come to be. There are few men in the world who are above flatterers like you.” “There is something true in what you said,” the teacher nodded, smiling with one of the student’s “high hats” on. 16.

Radio announcers give the correct time during the day. People there think that it is important to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at certain times. They do not want to be late. Not all people all over the world value time. Suppose you visit a certain country in South America. You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment（约会）with someone, he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time. In some countries in South America, even the radio programs may not begin right on time, nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. Many people regard a clock as a machine. It seems to them that a person who does everything on time is controlled（控制）by a machine. They do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives. 21. There are clocks in most stores in the US cities because ______.

While she was growing up, two of her brothers and six of her sisters died. Elizabeth decided to become a doctor.Her father was a sugar businessman. He encouraged equality(平等) between boys and girls so, unlike most girls, Elizabeth had the same education as boys.One night, when Elizabeth was eleven, a fire destroyed her family’s business. The family became so poor that Mr. Blackwell decided to go to America. When the familyreached New York, Mr. Blackwell tried to start a new business, but failed. In 1837, he died.After being refused several times by medical schools, Elizabeth was finally accepted by Geneva Medical College in New York, largely as a joke. People there, even women, thought she was indecent (下流的) and asked her to leave. But with great determination, Elizabeth graduated with high honors. After graduation, Elizabeth went to Paris to learn more about medicine. Elizabeth returned to America in 1851. There she helped other women become doctors and opened a medicine store. Then, she begged her rich friends to give money to build a hospital.Elizabeth’s dream came true in 1857 when the New York Infirmary For Women and Children opened its doors. It was the first true hospital for women, run by women doctors in the world. In 1868, the hospital opened a medical college for women. After that, Elizabeth received a letter from Europe asking her to come to her homeland and do for the women of Europe what she had done in America. She returned to England in 1869. There she served for forty years, which made her a heroine.21. What made Elizabeth want to be a doctorA. Her poor family.B. Her father’s advice.C. Her family members’ early death.D. The inequality between girls and boys.22. Why did Elizabeth’s family move to AmericaA. To sell more sugar.B. To look for chances to live.C. To open a hospital for women.D. To help Elizabeth study medicine.23. It can be inferred from Para. 4 that in America_________.A. hardly any women studied medicineB. studying medicine was considered indecentC. women were not allowed to receive educationD. women and children suffered a lot from poor health24. Which is the right order of the following events about Elizabetha. She opened the first hospital for women.b. She opened a medicine store in America.c. Her family moved to New York.d. She graduated from a medical school.e. She returned to England to serve.f. Her family’s business was destroyed.g. She went to Paris to study medicine.A. c-f-d-g-b-a-eB. f-c-d-g-b-a-eC. f-c-g-d-b-a-eD. f-c-g-d-b-e-aBIn most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters(恶魔).The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can't stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick(手柄) controls and constantly pressing the buttons marked "fire". They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: the muscles of the wrist and the arm become so inflamed(发炎的) and swollen(肿胀的) that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call "Space Warrior's Wrist".Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness(知觉) and fell on the floorDoctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.25. Electronic games are found very popular with____A. people living in townsB. students studying in high schoolsC. girls working in their fathers' workshopsD. young people26. " Space Warrior's Wrist" is caused by______.A. constantly pressing the buttonsB. rapidly moving across the screenC .tightly holding the joystick controlsD. inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist27. The case of a 17-year-girl given by writer showsthat the writer_____.A. supports playing electronic gamesB. feels very sorry for the girlC. disagrees with young people's playing electronic gamesD. feels worried about young people's poor healthCWhat can you do to spread peace and help get rid of prejudice(偏见)In your own way you can only show love to your neighbors and classmates.

In a magazine.DPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 per cent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometres) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood, which scattered(驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.32. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons ________．A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the US33. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons' “________”．A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution34. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeonsA. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.35. What can we infer about the law passed in MichiganA. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Along with air and water pollutions, noises pollution has been recognized as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more apparent.Noise is defined as "unwanted sound". Causes of noise pollution include traffic, aircraft, rock bands, barking dogs, televisions, garbage trucks, and noise from neighbors, voices, alarms, and watercrafts. Studies show that over forty percent of Americans are disturbed at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution.Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Nois e causes hearing loss, interferes (妨碍) with human activities at home and work, and is in various ways dangerous to people's health and well being.When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying or frustrating. Sudden increases in volume can make sounds annoying. The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise bursts can be more disruptive (破坏性).Continued stress can lead to high blood pressure, which is the major cause of some diseases.Long exposure to noise levels above eight-five decibels (分贝) can damage inner cells and lead to hearing loss. Noise can result in the involuntary fear response and can causeadrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to increase, and the digestive system to slow down.Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.9. How many kinds of environmental pollution are mentioned in the text?A. FiveB. FourC. ThreeD. Two10. According to the text, noise pollution may be caused by _________. .A. vehicles and animalsB. parties and meetingsC. zoos and theatersD. schools and factories11. In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that ___________ .A. people who make noise pollution should be punishedB. the government should offer it's people better education on noise pollutionC. the government should be responsible for noise pollutionD. individuals and government should work together to reduce noise pollutionDApartments for rentIf you are interested, please call 1 646 810 8652.12.

AImagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2019, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.“It’s great for the animals; they're going to get more space. It's great for the viewing public;they'regoing to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community,”Said RichardTindale, the owner and operator.Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife.The Giraffe TreehouseThe Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures (围场), and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual suites which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.The Ushaka HouseHousing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers private views of some of the zoo’s sharks.The Burley Griffin HouseOnly meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.The Shark HouseThe Shark House has its own little jetty(码头) and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.LocationLocated in the heart of Australia’s political capital, the Jamala Wildlife Lodge at the National Zoo andAquarium is just ten minutes from Canberra’s central Business District.24.

It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching(紧握) my fists with impatience.At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested, because there were clearly no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we have with each other.It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do. Trust is our first tendency. We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.It's a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, notdistrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up；we deliver when we say we'll deliver; andwe pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthymanner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.28. The author stopped at the traffic light because ______.A. there were passers-by crossing theroadB. some policemen were on duty just at thatpoint C. the trust between people influencedthe author D. there was potential danger29. What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?A. All the things would runnormally.B. The social system would be thrown intodisorder. C. Hie social traditions would beabandoned.D. Strict rules and laws would bemade.30. What is the theme of the passage?A. Mutual Trust is the best policy.B. A bird in hand is worthtwo in the bush.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Among the blind theone-eyed is the king.第二节(共5 小题：每小题 2 分，满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your w ork you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak, For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语)as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.86. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening87. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier88. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day89. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D. Children have energy cycles, too.(C)In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black children's extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level.Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions （暂被停学）．A Black public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out. So I applaud the U．S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the teenager justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle(摇篮) to college, career and success pipeline,we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.These resources, officially known as "guidance," will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy, it does doubt some policies that have historically excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including "zero tolerance" discipline policies which require compulsory consequences for certain infractions（违反），and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.90. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students’ education.B. Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.C. The percentage of Black students dropping out of school.D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.91. The guidance issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may________.A. punish Black children for dropping out of school.B. prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence.C. push thousands of Black children out of school each year.D. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses.92. According to the passage, the "zero tolerance" discipline policies________.A. prevent Black children from being absent from school.B. are prohibited by the guidance.C. have questionable consequences.D. were considered discriminatory when they were released.93. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Criticism of the Education SystemB. Steps Forward on School DisciplineC. Suggestions on the Civil Rights ActD. Victories in the Civil Rights Movement(D)One hundred years ago, "Colored" was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for "Negro." By the late 1960s, that term was overtaken by "Black." And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that "African American" was the term to embrace. This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as "Italian Americans" and "Irish Americans," that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.A century’s worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise. A 2001 study cataloged all the ways in which the term "Black" carried connotations (涵义) that were more negative than those of "African American."But if it was known that "Black" people were viewed differently from "African Americans," researchers, until now, hadn’t identified what that gap in perception was derived from. A recent study, conducted by Emory University’s Erika Hall, found that "Black" people are viewed more negatively than "African Americans" because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status. As a result, "Black" people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.The study’s most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeatingthe professional world. Even seemingly harmless details on a resume, it appears, can tap into recruiters’ biases. A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the "Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers" or the "National Black Employees Association," the names of which apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members’ control.In one of the study’s experiments, subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams. To one group, he was identified as "African-American," and another was told he was "Black." With little else to go on, they were asked to estimate Mr. William’s salary, professional standing, and educational background.The "African-American" group estimated that he earned about $ 37 000 a year and had a two-year college degree. The "Black" group, on the other hand, put his salary at about $ 29 000, and guessed that he had only "some" college experience. Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr. Williams worked at a managerial level, while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought so.Hall’s findings suggest there’s an argument to be made for electing to use "African American," though one can’t help but get the sense that it’s a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois’s original, idealistic hope: “It’s not the name-it’s the Thing that counts.”94. Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term "African American" for people of African descent?A. It is free from racial biases.B. It represents social progress.C. It is in the interest of common Americans.D. It follows the standard naming practice.95. What does the author say about the naming of an ethnic group?A. It advances with the times.B. It is based on racial roots.C. It merits intensive study.D. It is politically sensitive.96. What do Erika Hall’s findings indicate?A. Racial biases are widespread in the professional world.B. Many applicants don't attend to details on their resumes.C. Job seekers should all be careful about their affiliations.D. Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases.97. What does Erika Hall find in her experiment about a man with the last name Williams?A. African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups.B. Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low.C. People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled.D. One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background.98. What is Dr. Du Bois's ideal?A. All Americans enjoy equal rights.B. A person is judged by their worth.C. A new term is created to address African Americans.D. All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress.第II卷(52’)Section ADirections: Fill in the sentences with the proper form of the given verbs.1.My cousin went to Australia three years ago.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并将答案写在在答题卡上。
AAl was a skilled artist. One night, his older son developed a serious stomachache. Neither Al nor his wife took the condition seriously. But it was actually acute appendicitis (急性阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had realized the seriousness of the situation, Al’s emotional health became worse. Worse still, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle, and he turned to alcohol (酒) to avoid the pain. Gradually Al became an alcoholic (酒鬼) and began to lose everything he had. Finally, Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.When I heard of Al’s death, I felt sorry for him. “What a complete failure!” I thought. “What a totally wasted life!”As time went by, I began to rethink my earlier judgment. I knew A l’s son, Ernie, one of the kindest and most caring men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had long come from somewhere.One day I worked up my courage to ask him. “I’m really puzzled by something,” I said. “I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What did he do so that you became such a special person?”Ernie sat quietly and thought for a few moments. Then he said, “From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘I love you, son.’”What a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions (财产) behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.21. Al became an alcoholic because .A. he lost everything he had.B. he wasted his entire lifeC. his older son died and his wife left.D. he didn’t care about his younger son.22.What made Ernie such a special person?A. His sufferings in the childhood.B. His father’s deep love.C. His lovely wife and children.D. His mother’s early leaving.23. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.

Because of the overuse of the lakes, natural climate changes and other factors (因素), these lakes are disappearing quickly.Millions of people in Africa depend on water sources like lakes and rivers for their daily water. In other words, they cannot live without these lakes and rivers. Recent studies by the United Nations show that this loss of water supply is putting a great pressure on the African population.In the 1960s, Lake Chad was nearly 83,200 square feet large. In about forty years, it has lost 95% of its size and it has almostcompletely dried up. At one time, it was one of the largest lakes in the world, and was around 960,000 square feet around 6,000 years ago.The sizes of lakes and rivers and the amount of water have something to do with seasons naturally. But pollution and agriculture also play an important part in the loss of water. Many pollutants (污染物) are put into lakes and rivers so that many lakes and rivers are seriously polluted, and the water may be poisonous (有毒的). If something isn’t done soon about the disappearing lakes and rivers, there will not be enough water for everyone. Then many people in Africa will face diseases and possible dehydration (脱水).28. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. There are about 700 lakes and rivers in Africa.B. Africa is the largest continent on earth.C. As climate changes, there is less and less water in Africa.D. Now Africa has less water than before.29. The figures in the third paragraph show ________________.A. more and more lakes are drying upB. Lake Chad was a large lakeC. how quickly water is being lost in AfricaD. Lake Chad is 4,160 square feet now30. Which of the following is NOT one of the results of the loss of water in Africa?A. African people’s daily life is affected.B. Agriculture develops quickly.C. The number of population in Africa will be smaller.D. Many people will suffer from diseases.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain why lakes and rivers are disappearing in Africa.B. To show people the results of the loss of water in Africa.C. To call on people to solve the problem of the loss of water in Africa.D. To tell people how to protect the lakes and rivers in Africa.DI am a good mother to three children．I have tried never to let my job stand in the way of being a good parent．I no longer consider myself as the center of the universe．I show up．I listen．I try to laugh．I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows（誓言） mean what they say．I am a good friend to my friends，and they to me．Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today．So here's what I want to tell you today: Get a life, a real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, or the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love,and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure,it is action．Pick up the phone．Send an e-mail．Write a letter．And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted．It is so easy to waste our lives，our days，our hours，and our minutes．It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago.Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my lifein ways, that, if I had had my choice, it would never have been changed at all．And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all．I learned to love the journey,not the destination．I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back bec ause I believed in it,completely and totally.And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned．By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face．Learn to be happy．And think of life as a deadly illness,b ecause if you do,you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived．32.The best title of this passage probably is___．A．Love your friends B．Live a real lifeC．Don't waste time D．Be a good mother and wife33.How did the writer form her view of life？___A．Through social experience B．By learning from her friendsC．Through an unfortunate experience D．From her children and husband34.By the underlined sentence "It is so easy to exist instead of to live" in the fifth paragraph, the writer really means that people tend to_______．A．make a living rather than live a real life B．work rather than enjoy lifeC．waste a lot in life D．forget the most important lesson in life35．It can be inferred from the passage that___．A．the writer is a success in personal lifeB．the writer didn't try her best to work wellC．the writer spent all her time caring for her childrenD．the writer likes traveling very much．第三部分：完形填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案写在答题卡上。

ADuring the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they are busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up that after school time, then it is during the day they are going to be having a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’tbe saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to under stand the learning that’s gone on that day.”It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in the great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to e xperience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not be good at one thing or gaining a skill”. So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids…and for the family drivers!1. What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?A. They can get bored easily about everything.B. They might have no time to do the homework.C. They might not pay much attention to learning.D. They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.2. What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly?A. It is productiveB. It is helpfulC. It is a bad habit.D. It is a waste of time3.Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?A. Because children have no time.B. Because children cannot learn many thingsC. Because children do not have enough sleep.D. Because children cannot focus on too many activities.4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Don’t be children’s driver after schoolB. Choose activities for your children wisely.C. Make your children learn as much as possibleD. Let children learn something from various subjects.B5.If you take the job as a nature guide in Peru, you have to .A. work more than sixteen hours every dayB. accompany tourists in the jungleC. lead forest walks all the timeD. have some sporting skills6. To work in the Italian hotel-restaurant, you must .A. speak Italian fluentlyB. work all year roundC. be flexible and diligentD. have vocational training first7. According to the advertisement, as a volunteer teacher in Nepal, you .A. have to pay for your food and bedB. may give lessons in sports or the artsC. will teach both children and adultsD. should take care of students afterclass8. In which section of the classified ads can you find all the above information?A. Entertainment.B. Education.C. Job Vacancy.D. Travel.CGlobal Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed aGPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it isgoing to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University ofEdinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several area s where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.9. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to ______.A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage10. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving licenseC. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure.11. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systems that may confuse drivers?A. Wrong maps.B. Out-dated maps.C. Difficult instructions.D. Timing of GPS commands.12. What would be the best title for the text?A. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult.B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen.C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Convenient.D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Improved.DYou might notice something new in the next few years as you watch Disney programs: Starting in 2015, there won’t be any candy, sugary cereal or fa st-food commercials (广告) aimed at kids.The Walt Disney Company has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices. First Lady Mich elle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the children’s entertainment industry. “Just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldn’t see a single ad for junk food whi le they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldn’t have believed you, ” said the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity (肥胖).The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts (度假胜地). Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies (果汁), apples, vegetables and yogurt.In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that don’t meet Disney’s nutritional standards will be banned from the company’s kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled.Leslie Goodman, Disney’s senior vice-president of Corporate Citizenship, said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options.Disney isn’t the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity.13. What will the Walt Disney Company do from 2015?A. Produce more and better cartoons for young kids.B. Help kids develop healthy lifestyle in the program.C. Stop broadcasting advertisements for junk food on TV.D. Provide healthier food for kids while they are watching programs.14. What Michelle Obama said suggests that while watching cartoons, _______.A. kids didn’t believe what the commercials saidB. kids enjoy eating candy, sugary cereal or junk foodC. kids find pleasure in watching fast-food commercialsD. kids were to see a lot of fast-food commercials on TV15. According to Michael Bloomberg, to fight child obesity, kids should _______.A. watch fewer cartoonsB. drink less sugary drinksC. not go to movie theatersD. take more physical exercise第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
