I don’t like line, being p ut on hold when making a phone call, arriving at an appointmen t to find that my companion will be delayed, and of course, I don ’t like waiting rooms.However, I realize that my agony (痛苦)will not be good for me, as an increasingly crowded world ca n only mean one thing ----- more waiting..Owing to this, I have taken an action and decided to turn my f rustration(沮丧) into productive ends. In short, I am looking for what I call “w aiting in line books”.These are volumes that contain material designed for being read in shorten words, so there is no extended (延伸的) story line to lose track of. Another requirement is that they b e small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.The other day I went to the supermarket. Convinced that the r ain would keep most people away, but I was surprised to see th at the place was crawling with shoppers. Every checkout was o pen ----- and jammed! But I can take out my pocket books to enjoy.The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library. Look at the followings: One Hundred Things Every American Should Know; The poetry of Robert Frost; Livi ng Thoughts of Leading Thinkers; Still More Toasts. I have lear ned interesting and enriching things and much knowledge from these books.On a recent visit to the general store, I placed my order at the counter along with six or seven other people. The old female e mployee seemed to have her hands full as she rushed about. “Young man, just be patient,” she said to me.No problem. I quietly opened my dictionary of prose(散文) and poetical quotations. Perhaps the other customers regar ded me as a bookish, lonely soul. But little did they realize that I was enjoying the company of Shakespeare, Thoreau, Homer a nd Ben Jonson.How did the author overcome his agony of waiting?A、By arriving at an appointment early as usual.B、By taking an action to produce some books for readers.C、By reading volumes designed for being read in shorten words. D、By keeping most people away from the supermarket for reason s.67. According to the passage, the world __________.A、is becoming more and more crowdedB、needs to produce many materials to useC、loses tracks of story line increasinglyD、was crawling with shoppers everywhere68. Which of the following is NOT carried in the author’s back p ocket?A、One Hundred Things Every American Should Know.B、Homer and Ben Jonson.C、The Poetry of Robert FrostD、Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers69．It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A、there were fewer shoppers in the supermarket on rainy days B、the author was a bookish and lonely soul from these books C、the six or seven employees in the store were busy rushing abou tD、the author succeeded in changing his agony of waiting into enri chment70. What is the author’s attitude towards waiting from the last p aragraph?A. OptimisticB. Pessimistic(悲观的) C. Negative D. Critical(批评的)Part IV Writing (45marks)Section A (10 marks)A smile is one of the most simple, inexpensive and wonderful th ings in the world. Still, often we forget about this powerful action while we get lost in the details of today and tomorrow. We feel t ired and we have too much to do at work and we have to pay th e bills and “why did I get that ill-tempered cashier at the supermarket……?”Here are five reasons why smiling as often as you can will putmore positivity into your life.You will get a boost of happiness----- try forcing yourself to smile for thirty seconds right now. The gr eat feelings that make you smile work in reverse(反之), too. By making yourself smile, no matter how you feel, your body will start to release all those wonderful chemicals that ma ke you feel happy. Try it right now and feel the difference.A smile changes your state ---- if you feel frustrated, angry or bored, a smile changes your em otional state. And a positive state is not just more fun, but also opens up other possibilities in your mind. You will see the world from a different angle. And then you can start building on that t o have a string of positive actions and interactions with other pe ople throughout the day.A smile changes other people’s state---- walking into a room or up to the counter in a store with a smile on your face can make a difference. People will smile back at y ou and be more helpful, and any social tension will be melted a way. And your interactions will be more open and filled with fun and possibilities.Well, why shouldn’t you smile? ---- when choosing between a frown (皱眉)，a blank expression or a smile, the last choice seems to be themost productive and positive choice, doesn’t it? Sure, often you will forget to smile or maybe you just don’t feel like it. But if you try to remember and use it more often, you will soon develop a new habit.It’s easier to smile than doing the opposite --- because you actually use fewer muscles(肌肉) while smiling than while frowning, making an angry face or o ther facial expressions. If you start smiling more, your smiling m uscles will soon become stronger. And it will become easier to s mile than doing the opposite.Title: Why You Should Smile MoreIntroduct ion Smile is simple, not 71 _________ and wonderf ul, but we often forget about it.To get a boostof happinessFeeling greatYour body releasing all the chemicals that bring you 73 ____72.______________To change your state Becoming positiveSeeing the world 74 ________ __Having 75 and interactions w ith othersTo change othe rs’ state Smiling back at you and being more willing to 76 ________ y ou77 _________ social tensionNo reason for not smiling Developing 78__________ of smilingBeing easier th an other 79 ___ _________Frowning will employ 80 _____ __ muscles than smiling.Section B (10 marks)When I first got my cat, Charley, she was a tiny cat. As she gre w, she became more attached to me and never left my side. Sh e was so attached to me that she hated anyone else coming ne ar. I thought cats were nothing but selfish.I have been diabetic (糖尿病的) since I was 12. I can usually control my diabetes well, but o nce or twice, my blood sugar drops to dangerously low levels, c ausing dizziness (头晕眼花) and even loss of consciousness (意识). Normally I can recover by eating something sweet, but som etimes the attack is so sudden that I don’t get the chance.Yesterday, I had been Christmas shopping all day and came home exhausted. I had some food and went to bed, but I obviou sly didn’t eat enough, because the night I can remember getting up to go to the bathroom…..and then nothing. My blood sugar must have dropped during my sleep and I collapsed in the bathr oom.Within minutes, the cat realized something was wrong. Instea d of just sitting by my side, she went to our bedroom and jumpe d on the bed where my husband, Kevin, always a heavy sleepe r, lay undisturbed. Then she began to pat (轻拍) his hand with her paw and lick his face, something she’d ne ver done before. He finally sat up. Charley immediately got off t he bed and ran out through the door. Kevin noticed that my side of the bed was empty and followed the cat to the bathroom, wh ere he found me unconscious on the floor.If Charley hadn’t raised the alarm, who knows what would hav e happened?81.

She was saving it for a s pecial occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them."Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have calleda few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day. Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.21. Which of the following can best explain the expression underlined “mend her fences for past things” in Paragraph 5?A. try to be friendly again with someoneB. break her wordC. give up her point of viewD. keep her promise2. Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn't wear it because______.A. she wanted to wear it on special occasionsB. she kept it as a special gift for someone elseC. she saved it until she grew olderD. she wanted to keep it as a sweet memory23. Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?A. spending more time staying with familyB. attending social activities as often as possibleC. enjoying life and valuing every dayD. trying to get along well with friends24. The best title for the passage would be______.A. Every day is A GiftB. My Poor SisterC. Value Friendship Every DayD. Every day is An Important OccasionBThere are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widely-held is that it isunlucky to walk under a ladder - even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you’ve seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.② UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house - it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!③ Number 13The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.④ Seven years bad luckThe worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.⑤ Black catIn the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术). You are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.25. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect (不敬) for the God.B. crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought by walking under a ladderC. number 13 is always unlucky in any situationD. opening indoors it might be considered to be an attack on the sun26. Which of the followings is RIGHT in U.K according to the passage?A. Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopularB. Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something to with witchcraft.C. Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain waysD. If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.27. Which two superstitions are related to history?A. ①②B.②④ C ④⑤ D. ③④28. .Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?A. Walking under a ladderB. opening an umbrella in the houseC. breaking a mirrorD. a black cat crossing your path.CReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was asocial act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.29. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ______________.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure30. The under lined word “diversion”(in Paragraph 2) most probably means “_________”.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories31. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ____________.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poems32. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.DHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces, They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks(象牙), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung(粪便)of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthratewill increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine(尿液)to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.33.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “ ”.A.manages to live in desert areasB.drinks 120 liters of water a dayC .remains in the African countriesD.eats 150 kilograms of food daily34.Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A.rarely ruin treesB.drink only every 3-4 daysC.search for food in large groupsD.protect food sources for their young35.What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A.Overheating the earth can be stopped.B. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.C.The planet will become hotter and hotter. 、D. Not all animal species are so adaptable.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。

AWhen facing the task of deciding your major, you should remember that the decision you make doesn’t mean you are only destined for one path.QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION●Do I have a career in mindAlthough your major does not necessarily dictate your career, some jobs do require a certain field of study.

A certain job mightpique your interest, and that could prompt you to pick a certain major.●How much does money matterSome majors do have higher potential earnings than others. If earning a lot of money is a primary goal for you, search for majors that pay off well. Feel free to reach out to the Career Center for more information on higher-earning majors and careers.●What do I love to doIf you love what you study, you will be more likely to pay full attention to your classes. which will probably lead to better grades and valuable connections in the field.

See page 6 for more details of what we have to offer!1.If you don’t know what to choose as your future career, you need to ______.A.cultivate a related hobbyB.aim for well-paid jobsC.consider the education requirementsD.investigate different fields2.According to the passage, CDC could ______.A.give major-related adviceB.establish internship programmesC.define your future career goalsD.select an elective course for you3.Where is the passage probably taken fromA.A research paper.B.A commercial post.C.A college brochure.D.A recruitment notice.BThe new member to the UAE's astronaut training program, the first female Emirati (阿联酋) astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.Nora AlMatrooshi and her fellow trainee astronaut Mohammad AlMulla were selected from 4000 highly qualified candidates to lead the nation’s 9.8 million citizens into space.The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers’ licences, picking up the Russian language and training for their many media interviews—and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.“They will need mechanical engineers to build a base on the moon,” says the 28-year-old, who represented her nation at the Mathematics Olympics and worked as an engineer at the National Petroleum Construction Company.AlMatrooshi says she has dreamed of the stars since kindergarten, when her teacher set up the classroom as the Lunar surface and the five-year-old future astronaut constructed a cardboard moonbase. That early longing to explore space charted her degree choice.“I actually went after it. I chose to study a degree in mechanical engineering because of a documentary I watched when I was in high school. It was about a group of astronauts going to the International Space Station and the role of the mechanical engineerwas highlighted,” she sa y.Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.AlMatrooshi’s fellow trainee astronaut, UAE police helicopter pilot AlMulla, meanwhile says as tronaut training has been “a big career change”.“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot, including training in Australia for my commercial pilot’s licence,” says the father of two. “As a pilot you get used to mastering everything—suddenly I’m changing my path.”“I’m a big fan of SpaceX. The rockets and even the fancy space suits. And hopefully all four of us—and all the astronauts who come after us will get to be a part of future missions—perhaps even to the moon eventually.”4.What preparation have they made before the training programA.They have grasped their native language.B.They have had cruel survival training.C.They have learned to deal with the press.D.They have done some weightlessness training.5.Which is the major factor for AlMatrooshi to be a member of the training programA.She got help from her academic parents.B.She has had a big dream since her childhood.C.She has experience in big construction projects.D.She was the winner of the Mathematics Olympics.6.What does the underlined pa rt “I'm changing my path” refer toA.I’ll be a master of life.B.I’m an enthusiast for SpaceX.C.I’m settling my new problem.D.I’m starting a new life from scratch.7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the textA.The fans of Space XB.Dream and achievementsC.Passion and preparationsD.Future astronaut training programCWe breathe, eat and drink tiny particles of plastic. But are these in the body harmless. dangerous or somewhere in between A small study published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine raises more questions than it answers about how these hits might affect the heart.The study involved 257 people who had surgery to clear blocked blood vessels in their necks. Using two methods, researchers found evidence of plastics-mostly invisible nanoplastics — in 150 patients and no evidence of plastics in 107 patients. They followed these people for three years. During that time, 30 or 20% of those withplastics had a heart attack, stroke or died from any cause, compared to 8 or about 8% of those with no evidence of plastics. The researchers also found more evidence of inflammation (炎症) in the people with the plastic bits in their blood vessels. Inflammation is the body’s response to injury and is thought to raise the risk of heart attacks and stroke.“I hope that the alarming message will raise the consciousness of citizens, especially governments, to finally become aware of the importance of the health of our planet.” said Dr. Raffaele Marfella of the University of Campania in Italy.Nevertheless, the study was very small and looked only at people with narrowed arteries (动脉), who were already at risk for heart attack and stroke. The patients with the plastics had more heart disease, diabetes and high cholesterol (胆固醇) than the patients without plastics. They were more likely to be men and more likely to be smokers. The researchers tried to adjust for these risk factors during their statistical analysis, but they may have missed important differences between the groups that could account for the results. This kind of study cannot prove that the plastics caused their problems.“More research is needed and it is the first report suggesting a connection between microplastics and nanoplastics with disease inhumans,” said Dr. Philip Lan drigan of Boston College. Other scientists have found plastic bits in the lungs, liver, blood, and breast milk, “It does not prove cause and effect, but it suggests cause and effect,” he said, “And it needs urgently to be either confirmed or disproven (反驳) by other studies done by other investigators in other populations.”8.What did the study find about the plastics in bloodA.They are visible and detectable.B.They may raise the risk of serious injuries.C.They need to be removed by surgery.D.They may account for a higher rate of heart attacks.9.What did Raffaele Marfella suggestA.Immediate action should be taken by government.B.Alarming message should be spread widely and quickly.C.The awareness of the harm of plastic bits should be enhanced.D.Joint efforts must be made to keep healthy physically and mentally.10.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about regarding the studyA.Limitations.B.Advantages.C.Causes.D.Effects.11.What did Dr. Philip Landrigan think of the studyA.Helpful but unrealistic.B.Pioneering but impractical.C.Distinctive but unnecessary.D.Suggestive but inconclusive.DHow often is your mind quiet If you’re a typical human being, the answer is probably very rarely. For most of our days, our attention is focused on external things—the tasks of our jobs, TV programs, or social media interactions. In the moments when our attention isn’t focused externally, it’s usually focused on what is called “thought-chatter”—a stream of mental associations consisting of expectations of the future, memories, daydreams, and so on.But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel a s if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are.There are many activities that have the effect of quieting our minds, and so produce a state of well-being.For example, think about what happens when you go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after-a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet.This is why people love to look at beautiful works of art. When people see the paintings of Monet or van Gogh, they experience a mind-stopping mo ment, in which they’re taken out of their thinking minds and experience a sense of great well-being.The strange thing is, though, that most of the time this happens unconsciously (不知不觉地). We usually don’t associate this well-being with a quiet mind. And w e usually don’t think of a quiet mind as the aim or result of these activities.Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds.I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and harmony.12.What can be inferred about thought-chatter试卷第1页，共3页A.It requires a lot of practice.C.It might be a talk with a friend.B.It might be unpleasant at times.D.It helps reach a state of silence.13.What are the examples of activities mentioned in the text mainly aboutA.What activities lead to well-being.B.What can be done to reduce stress.C.How we can make our minds quiet.D.How mental quietness leads to well-being.14.How can we determine how much pleasure an activity can give usA.By judging how much stress it can increase.B.By judging whether it takes place unconsciously.C.By judging to what extent it can quiet our minds.D.By judging whether it associates with well-being.15.What does the author intend to highlight in the last paragraphA.Creating a quiet mind for all time.B.Living a peaceful life permanently.C.Being in harmony with inner quietness.D.Participating in activities for inner quietness.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
