A. take up B. take over C. turn up D. turn overSection BDirections: Read the following four 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)In a new study, 186 four-year-old kids were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables renamed X-ray Vision Carrots. On the latter days, they ate nearly twice as many.The study suggests the influence of these names might persist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were no longer labeled as anything special.The research, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was presented at the annual meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington, D.C..“Cool names can make for cool foods,”said the l ead authorBrian Wansink of Cornell University. “Whether it be …power peas?or …dinosaur broccoli trees?, giving a food a fun name makes kids think it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep working —even the next day,”Wansink said.Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Romantic Hawaii, sales increased 28 percent and taste rating increased by 12 percent. “Same food, but different expectations, and a different experience,” said Wansink, author of “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.”The study was conducted in pre-schools, but the researchers believe the same naming tricks can work with children at home.“I?ve been using this with my kids,” said researcher Collin Payn e, “Whatever sparks(激发) their imagination seems to spark their appetite.”65. Those four-year-old kids ate ________ when the carrots were renamed X-ray Vision Carrots.A. twice more carrotsB. nearly double carrotsC. about 50 percent more carrotsD. as many carrots as they used to66. According to the passage, _______ make(s) kids think it will be more fun to eat.A. power peasB. dinosaur broccoli treesC. fun names of foodD. cool foods67. The restaurant study didn?t show that ________.A. sales increased 28 percent when the name Romantic Hawaii was takenB. taste rating increased by 12 percent after the Seafood Filet was renamedC. same food would let people have a different experience with different namesD. the researchers got similar results when they work with children at home68. The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________.A. people prefer food with cool namesB. how to name the food which kids eatC. how to help kids eat in a healthy wayD. kids often imagine when they eat food(B)Putting Movies on MobilesMovies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm —the first mobile film festival.The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length — ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.●New PlatformsThe awards highlight the increasing impact thatmobile phones are making in the entertainment industry.Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films.They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screentheir work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasinglybeing seen as a new platform for these short works.It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a w ay to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!●New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances.In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.69. At the first MoFilm, ________.A. movies in the theater got their recognitionB. more than 100 countries took part in the competitionC. ideal films were five minutes or less in lengthD. t he winner was chosen by experts? voting70. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. The underlined wordmeans “________”.A. disappointedB. surprisedC. frightenedD. encouraged71. Nowadays the majority of films made for mobiles areshort in length because of _______.A. online servicesB. the screen sizeC. technology advancesD. the mobile phone(C)When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called offbecause of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don?t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines(TWA).I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners? trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac (机场停机坪) in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald?s hamburgers and fries bythoughtfulness of the airline.I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.72.Many people crowded the terminal because ________.A. they were ready to board on the planesB. something was wrong with the terminalC. the flights to the Northeast were canceledD. the gate agent wouldn?t help the passengers73. The writer got to Providence ________ at last.A. by airB. by vanC. by trainD. by underground74. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.B. The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.C. Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.D. McDonald?s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.75. What can be implied from the passage?A. The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.B. The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.C. The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.D. Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.Section CDirection: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest words.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)From Buckingham Palace to Oxford, the UK is loaded with wonderful icons(标志) of past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence. It?s now better known for vibrant(充满活力的) cities with great nightlife and a ttraction. Fashions, fine dining, clubbing, shopping —the UK is among the world?s best.Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if you?re one of these people, you?d be wise to abandon those ideas. V isit a nightclub in one of the big cities, a football match, or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. It?s certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers, sports supporters, pet owners and gardeners than the UK.Getting around England is pretty easy. Budget airlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and buses run on the same route, coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses. London?s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs are cheaper competitors, with freelance (个体的) drivers. But usually you need to give a call first. London?s underground is called the Tube. It?s very convenient and can get you to almostany part of the city.The UK is not famous for its food. But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in flour. English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon, with toast and a pot of tea. Other things like shepherd?s pie and Y orkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.Pubbing and Clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife, especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends, having drinks, and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a place of music, or a bar, or any other place to gather with friends. Clubbing can be found everywhere. Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing, such as no jeans, no sportswear, while pubbing is much more casual.76.If you are involved in the real life of local residents, you may find them______________________________.77.How many kinds of transportation forms are mentioned in the third paragraph? Giveexamples (at least four)._____________________________________________________________.78.When you go clubbing in the UK, you should not ______________________________.79.What aspects are introduced about UK according to the passage?_____________________________________________________________.Section DDirections: Read the follow ing text and choose the mostsuitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.Try writing with the wrong handB.Let yourself daydreamC.Develop your inspirationD.Discover your hidden talentsE.Record your dreamsF.Stimulate your senses80.Every night, for about 90 minutes, we drift into a strange, shadowy, magical world of our own creation. Poets, writers, artists and even scientists have found inspiration in their “dreamland”. Dreams are a message from the subcons cious, a way of tapping your inner self. Keep a note pad and pen by your bedside, and as soon as you wake, note down whatever snatches of dreams you can recall. Dreams can solve your problems, give you advice, reveal your true feelings, and be a source of inspiration.81.What are you aware of right now? Look at a familiar object in the room as if seeing it for the first time —explore it with your eyes. Next, listen intently to any sounds you can hear. What can you smell and taste at this moment? Touch whatever is within reach, run your hand over and around it —how does it feel? During the next few weeks activate all your senses. V isit an art gallery, walk in a pine forest, luxuriate in a second bubble bath, go to a concert, swim, have a massage. Try to experience it all as if it were totally new to you.82.If you?re right-handed, develop the skills of your left hand orvice versa —allow it to draw something, switch TV channels or drink a cup of tea. Try this exercise: write a list of ten adjectives which characterize your personality using the hand you usually write with. A few days later, repeat the exercise writing with the other hand. Then compare the two lists. Y ou might be surprised at the secrets of your inner self! For example, on the first list you might have written that you?re “witty”, but the second list might say “suspicious”. Then try a similar exercise, making two lists of “ What I would most like to do”.83.Have you ever longed to paint portraits or watercolors, write a novel, draw cartoons, compose a song, design your own clothes, set up a business or landscape your garden? If so, why not start now? Y es, you might discover that your fast efforts are laughable —but try, try again. With a few notable exceptions such as Mozart, most people haven?t develop ed their creative talents through sheer hard work. Don?t kid yourself that you haven?t any spare time. It?s a question of making time, of seeing your talents as important enough to devote a few hours to each week. Who knows —you might be the next Laura Ashley or Agatha Christie?84.Forget about being told off for daydreaming at school. Daydreaming is good for you! Whether it?s a purely fantasy, or a drea m about how life might be in the future, only the right-brain has visions of this kind. Creative visualization, vividly imagining whatever you desire as if it has already happened —and really believing in it, is said to be a powerful way of getting what you want. Many top sports people imagine themselves playing and winning —and it seems to work.第II卷（45分）I.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something __41__but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly __42__. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, __43__in the costomer giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods __44__ in almost every family are not __45__ needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the __46__, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in __47__ and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The __48__ example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. So gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing: no choice, no __49__.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.Nothing can better illustrate the failure of education in this country than the contrast between millions of college graduates finding it hard to get a proper job every year and the lack of workers in the more industrialized regions.According to news from Dongguan (东莞), one of the __50__ manufacturing centers in the Pearl River Delta (珠江三角洲) region in South China, ―over 90 percent‖ factories have said they are finding __51__ difficult to employ people from the second half of 2009, when the __52__ began picking up and overseas orders restarted pouring in. Running to full capacity seems a dream that the factories had__53__.An awkward reality is that only few, __54__, of the new college graduates could really fill the vacancies because the trainings they have received are entirely __55__ from the demands of the jobs. Nor will Chinese cities have enough workforce if they pursue a development model other than export-based manufacturing.The __56__ for that is simple: The knowledge about management graduates gather is totally out of step with reality, __57__ of them can hardly express themselves in English or compose an email message properly, and __58__ handle even paper work in a law service with the legal knowledge they have.I __59__ some college teachers, whom I went to college with, that the amount of time an average college student spends on studies today is less than half of what we __60__ in the late 1970s when proper college education was recovered after the ―cultural revolution‖ (1966-76).―They (the administrations) have enrolled so many students just to __61__ from their parents (tuition and other charges)‖, one of the teachers said embarrassedly. ―It's a nationwide phenomenon, you know.‖It is hard to believe that a country should not __62__ education so seriously when there are no longer as many young people as before and view its opportunities only in terms of immediate financial gains, which greatly affects the quality of education. __63__, vocational education faces a double threat: frequent ups and downs in the business cycle and that of a flooding of cheap college certificates.It is __64__ in a country with rapid development in many fields to see little reform and progress in its education system. When colleges are reduced to money-making machines, they cannot help a society create enough workers, thinkers and leaders.50. A. necessary B. key C. new D. remote51. A. this B. that C. it D. as52.

A. Although B. Besides C. However D. Therefore64. A. common B. likely C. worthwhile D. surprisingSection BDirections:Read the following four 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)In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of ―mastery‖ —feeling important and worthwhile —and the sources of what we call a sense of ―pleasure‖— finding life enjoyable — are not always the same. Women often are told ―You can’t have it all.‖ Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: ―You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.‖ or ―You have a wonderful husband and children —what’s all this about wanting a career?‖ But women need to un derstand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the ―doing‖ side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the ―feeling‖ side of life.The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles — marriages, motherhood, and employment — were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.65. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.A. for women, a sense of ―mastery‖ is more important than a sense of ―pleasure‖B. for women, a sense of ―pleasure‖ is more important than a sense of ―mastery‖C. women can’t have a sense of ―mastery‖ and a sense of ―pleasure‖ at the same timeD. a sense of ―mastery‖ and a sense of ―pleasure‖ are both necessary to women66. The author’s attitude towards women having a career is________.A. negativeB. positiveC. indifferentD. realistic67. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, ________.A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chances of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer and more meaningful68. Which of the following can be con sidered as a source of ―pleasure‖ for women?A. Family lifeB. Multiple roles in societyC. Regular employmentD. Freedom from anxiety(B)Welcome to the British Museum, the grandest and the most spectacular of human history. The admission is free and we open every day from 10:00 to 15:30. You can explore 10 departments including:The Department of Africa, Oceania and the AmericasThe collection of the Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas includes around 350,000 objects. The scope of the collection is contemporary, and historical. It includes most of Africa, the Pacific and Australia, as well as the Americas. All of the collections were got during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and date from this time.The Department of AsiaThe Department of Asia covers the material and visual cultures of Asia – a vast geographical area of Japan, Korea, China, Central Asia, Afghanistan, South Asia and South-East Asia. The collection dates from about 4000 BC, to the present day. It represents the cultures and ways of life of local people and other minority groups.The Department of Greek and Roman EmpiresThe Department of Greek and Roman Empires features antiquities (古董). It has one of the most comprehensive collections of antiquities from the Classical world, with over 100,000 objects. These mostly range in date from the beginning of the Greek Bronze Age (about 3200BC) to the time of the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century AD.69. The scope of the Department of Africa, Oceania and Americas doesn’t include______.A. AfricaB. AustraliaC. the South AmericaD. Britain70. The earliest collection is from ______.A. The Department of Africa, Oceania and the AmericasB. The Department of AsiaC. The Department of Greek and Roman EmpiresD. All of the above71. The Department of Asia represents ______.A. the geographic features of AsiaB. the relationships between Asian countriesC. the life styles and cultural traditions of some peoplesD. the cultural fights between some native groups(C)It is one of the greatest mysteries of nature. In case you haven’t noticed, all living things follow very definite, individual rhythms, all as regular as a clock, but what makes them regular?Though many scientists maintain that these rhythms are the result of some outside force like gravity or radiation or both, the results of most scientific researches agree with other scientists who believe that each living thing has its own built-in biological ―time clock.‖Take the mystery of migration for example. Scientists can’t really explain why many species of birds migrate in the autumn even though the temperature is still summery. The birds just seem to snub the comfortable weather that they are having. When a certain time comes, they travel south by the thousand. In spring time, they migrate northwards even though there probably is snow still covering the ground when they finally arrive. Something said ―go,‖ and they did.Animals that hibernate (冬眠) are obeying individual time clocks, too. When their clock indicates the time to take a winter’s nap, they do, and nothing can stop them. At a certain time in the spring, they wake up and come out regardless of the weather outside.Plants appear to have yearly rhythms, such as the sprouting of seeds, and they also have daily rhythms. Notice sometimes that plants raise their leaves in daylight and lower them at night.If you live along the California coast, you can easily observe a demonstration of this mysterious clock functioning regularly. There, from February to September, the highest tides occur exactly every fourteen and four-fifths days, and during these high tides, but at no other time, small silvery fish called grunions surf-ride a wave to the beach. There the female deposits her eggs in the sand and the male fertilizes them; then both hitch a wave-ride back to the sea. Exactly fourteen and four-fifths days later, never before or after, the tiny eggs hatch, and the high tide carries the new babies out to sea.72. According to the passage, the mysterious rhythms result from ______.A. the influence of gravity on living speciesB. the effect of radiation on living speciesC. the influence of a mysterious outer force on living speciesD. the internal mechanism inside the living species73. The u nderlined word ―snub‖ in the third paragraph probably means ______.A. fightB. ignoreC. symbolizeD. criticize74. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Hibernating animals are obeying an internal time clock.B. The positioning of the leaves of some plants is due to the daily rhythms.C. The internal clock functioning is demonstrated in the reproducing habits of grunions.D. The yearly hibernation is more because of the weather influence than the biological functioning.75. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the rhythms of lifeB. the reasons of mysterious hibernationC. strange behaviors of speciesD. the timing for different events in the world of speciesSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.(D)The difference between a human brain and a computer is more complicated than we can imagine. The large mammalian brain is the most complicated thing, for its size. Though the human brain only weighs three pounds, in that three pounds are ten billion neurons and a hundred billion cells. The many billions of cells are interconnected in such a vastly complicated network that wecan’t begin to explore as yet.Even the most complicated computer man has yet built can’t compare with the brain. Computer switches and processes number in the millions rather than in the billions. What’s more, the computer switch is just an on-off device, whereas the brain cell is itself possessed of a complex structure.It’s frequently said that computers solve problems only because they are ―programmed‖ to do so. They can only do what men have them do, in which way it is like the human brain. We can also do what we are ―programmed‖ to do. Our genes ―program‖ us the instant the zygote (授精卵) is formed, and our potentialities are limited by that ―program.‖Surely, though, if a computer can be made complex enough, it can be as creative as people. If it could be made as complex as a human brain, it could be the replacement of a human brain and do whatever a human brain can do. Then the real supercomputer comes along.In other words, once we pass a certain critical point, the computers will gain a dominating position and present a complexity explosion. In a very short time thereafter, computers may exist not only taking after the human brain, but far passing it. When the time comes, we might as well step aside and hand over all our work to them and really have them serve us.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(E)Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, neither anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial.They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. Society’s economic functions would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no motivation to work. In fact, there would be no motivation of any kind. For as we will see, motivation implies a capacity to enjoy certain activties.In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object’s physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us—hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are ―good‖ and others are ―bad‖, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. It gives high rewards to individuals when performing important tasks.81. According to the passage, the concept of right or wrong comes from ____________.82. Emotions are significant for man’s survival because ____________.83. What would an emotionless world lack?84. What is the result of the absence of emotion?第II卷I.

The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, 51 revising．Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in minda funny, exciting production．However, when Phantom openedin London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music．The musical had． 52 several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆)．For instance, Lloyd Webber 53 some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.When you revise, you change aspects of your work in54 to your evolving purpose, or to include 55 ideas or newly discovered information.Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment． 56 , it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way．Even your decision to 57 ．topics while prewriting is a type of revising．However．don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows 58 ．Always make time to become your own 59 and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak．Reviewing your work in this way can give you 60 new ideas.Revising involves 61 the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present．When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose 62 throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the 63 that is, facts, opinions,inferences -- that they need in order to understand my mainidea? Finally, have I included too many 64 detailsthat may confuse readers?50．A．technique B．style C．process D．career51．A．in particular B．as a result C．for example D．in other words 52．A．undergone B．skipped C．rejected D．replaced53．A．rewrote B．released C．recorded D．reserved54．A．addition B．response C．opposition D．contrast55．A．fixed B．ambitious C．familiar D．fresh56．A．However B．Moreover C．Instead D．Therefore57．A．discuss B．switch C．exhaust D．cover58．A．drafting B．rearrangingC．performing D．training59．A．director B．master C．audience D．visitor60．A．personal B．valuable C．basic D．delicate61．A．mixing B．weakening C．maintaining D．assessing62．A．amazing B．bright C．unique D．clear63．A．angles B．evidence C．information D．hints64．A．unnecessary B．uninteresting C．concrete D．finalSection BDirections: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according tothe information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep．Afew dogs started barking at it．The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village wherethey ran for safety．That didn't stop the elephant．It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people．The villagers were scared and angry．Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer．He taught Parbati to ride an elephant beforeshe could even walk．He also taught her the dangerous artof the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle．After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city．But Parbati never got used to being thereand many years later she went back to her old fife．"Lifein the city is too dull．Catching elephants is an adventureand the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun．"My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, andto keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactlywhat Parbati has been doing for many years．Increasingly,the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land．It is now fighting back．Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called toguide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion．A good elephant tamer will spend hours a daysinging love songs to a newly captured elephant．"Eventually they grow to love their tamers andnever forget them．They are also more loyal than humans,"she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and saton the giant, happy animal．An elephant princess indeed!65．For Parbati, catching elephants is mainlyto .A．get long lasting excitement B．keep both man and elephants safeC．send them back to the jungle D．make the angry elephants tame66．Before Parbati studied in a boardingschool, .A．she spent her time hunting with herfatherB．she learned how to sing love songsC．she had already been called an elephantprincessD．she was taught how to hunt tigers67．Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry andthey revenge because __________.A．they are caught and sent for heavy workB．illegal hunters capture them and kill themC．they are attacked and their land gets limitedD．dogs often bark at them and chase them68．The passage starts with an elephant story in order toexplain that in India _________．A．people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks B．the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC．elephant tamers are in short supplyD．dogs are as powerful as elephants(B)The following card includes a brief summary and aTrevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in ashort assessment of a research paper．It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.69．The research paper published is primarily concerned withA．the way of preventing employee turnoverB．methods of improving employee performanceC．factors affecting employee turnover and performanceD．pay structures based on employee performance 70．As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .A．the data analysis is hardly reliableB．the research sample is not wide enoughC．the findings are of no practical valueD．the research method is out-of-date71．Who might be most interested in this piece of information?A．Job hunters．B．Employees in blue-chip companies.C．Mid-level managers.D．Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about．But one more has just been added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth．The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire．At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter．" A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour．Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites,cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added．The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage．What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.72．The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to during the 2012Olympics.A．the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB．the collapse of

Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD．Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be TroubledSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each76．77．NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world ．They reduce and remove pain for millions ofpeople suffering from illness and disease ．They make it possible fordoctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives ．Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active, contributing citizens ．NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.78．Nevertheless ．overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern ．Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women.79．Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly．Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs．People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use．In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had overused medicines.80.Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged overIn general, among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addicted．In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers, tranquillisers, stimulants and sedatives.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)， but with a difference．While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class．Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance．In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum．In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E．on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids．The difference in physed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard．"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support．Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be．They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports．The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school．The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81．In the new P.E．program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than __82．As for P.E., some school boards either83．What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?84．What is the long-term benefit of the new P.E program?第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1．这本杂志花了我20多元。

According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.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.Researchers recently find women likely fac e work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depressio n compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least d epressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher atrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle. “The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful aboutwhether or not work and family can be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.” In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work gives women more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said. Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression. “Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environments,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everyth ing perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research really speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employment and not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.” -51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

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）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated (提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67. The racehorses are given handicaps so that _____.A. they will weigh the sameB. previous winners are unlikely to winC. the race will be fair enoughD. they will be more adaptable to the race68. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress wellB. the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy peopleC. the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortuneD. the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide69. The passage can most probably be found in _____.A. a sports journalB. a business newspaperC. an academic paperD. a health magazine（B）Early Christian heritage (This PEACE III funded display, featuring wonderful photographs, is in English and Polish and isSilcock, which wereof themes including howpolitics and society.

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more than your body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable(可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2019.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a Columbia University study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75. What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A. The waste of lithium in the world.B. The increasing number of electronic devices.C. The development of technology.D. The pollution caused by batteries.76. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. energy-harvesting products save money in the long runB. taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC. automatic watches harvest energy from the user s’ body heatD. two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Energy harvesting a low-risk technologyB. Energy harvesting a high-profit technologyC. Energy harvesting a problem-free technologyD. Energy harvesting an environment-friendly technologySection CDirections Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Want to attract and keep top talent? Here’s a suggestion Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.A survey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented wome n, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes aryn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime (弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for n ew dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large number of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten years.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81. What makes flextime possible according to Twaronite?第Ⅱ卷（共47分）I.

He made his first TV cooking programs when he was only 23, got married at 25 and was given a special prize by the Queen at 28. A top supermarket pays to use him in their advertisements. He sells almost as many books as J.K. Rowling, and reporters are always writing articles about him.Jamie has also opened the restaurant Fifteen in London. The name doesn’t describe where the restaurant is --- he chose this name because fifteen is the number of young people who were trained there to become cooks. None of them knew how to cook so Jamie sent them to college the year before he opened the restaurant. They also visited other restaurants to learn more about cooking.The idea for the restaurant Fifteen really started because of a conversation Jamie had with his wife’s friend. She worked with difficult children and found that they always enjoyed cooking, so Jamie decided to start a restaurant business to help young people with problems.Jamie is at the restaurant five days a week but always spends the weekend with his wife and children. He says he has never been happier and only wants to go on cooking. He works hard but pays himself nothing, because all the money is used to train new students every six months. Today, 85 people work at Fifteen, more than when it first opened. The restaurant is always full and Jamie has four receptionists(接待员) answering more than 3,000 phone calls a day from customers wanting to book a table!99. What job does Jamie Oliver do?100.
