It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife. She studied the area's natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously. But her old-fashioned, Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement, thinking it inappropriate for a young lady. However, her study and watercolour paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology.In her 30's, Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid's book, The Tale of Pew Rabbit. Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne. This caused a great disagreement with her parents, who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status. Sadly, Warne died before the marriage ceremony.Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating (绘图) kid's books full-time. Using profits from her books, Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District. She extended the property with additional purchases of neighbouring land over time. In her 40's, Bestrix married William Heelis, a local lawyer. She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children. In all she authored 23 publications.Beatrix died on December 22, 1943, and left the majority of her property to the National Trust. Her books carry on selling well globally, in many different languages. Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet, movies, and cartoons.Such is her reputation, and that of the characters from her publications, that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created. These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collects and fans of her literature throughout the world.26. What can we learn about Beatrix Potter's early life?A. She learned drawing skills from her tutors.B. She was very sociable and outgoing.C. She was greatly inspired by the beauty of nature.D. She was encouraged to think creatively and independently.27. Why did Beatrix Potter's parents oppose the idea of her marriage to Norman Warne?A. They did not believe she was mature enough to get married.B. They thought Warne was only interested in Beatrix Potter's wealth.C. They believed that the couple's characters were mismatched.D. They considered Warne to be too common for their daughter.28. According to the passage, which part of the UK did Beatrix Potter love most?A. Manchester.B. Scotland.C. The Lake District.D. London.29. In which of the following areas did Beatrix Potter show an interest during her life?A. Writing, biology, farming.B. Drawing, nature, ballet.C. Movies, farming, drawing.D. Writing, mushrooms, travel.30. What is the function of the last two paragraphs of the passage?A. To describe the consequences of Beatrix Potter's death.B. To present the lasting cultural influence of Beatrix Potter and her works..C. To show the changes in attitude towards Beatrix Potter's works over the past years.D. To criticize the commercialization of Beatrix Potter's characters since her death.BWhen movie star Scarlett Johansson was photographed naming in Los Angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing Vibram FiveFingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe.Strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear. These super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness. Why? Because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good."Wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury," explains Matt Wallden, an athlete performance expert. "But with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively.'"But before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful. These kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away."Ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running," explains Patrick Davoren, former Olympic athlete. "It you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running.If you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65% of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach. But barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete.Even if you're used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. Start_off'by doing just 10% of what you'd normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. And a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again31. The Vibram FiveFingers are shoes ______.A. specifically designed for womenB. that have lots of cushion insideC. safest for people who enjoy sportsD. that are much thinner than normal sports shoes32. The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.A. expertsB. feetC. shoesD. runners33. According to Matt Wallden, the new shoes ________.A. make feet more sensitive to the running surfaceB. will produce immediate improvementsC. force your body to move less naturallyD. increase the chances of getting hurt34. The author suggests that new users of Vibram FiveFingers should ________.A. run in the shoes every day at top speedB. begin with a shorter running distance than normalC. occasionally run barefooted to harden their feetD. make sure they are already very fit before using them35. Where would you probably read this article?A. A travel book.B. A movie website.C. A sports magazine.D. A science journal.CThe dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the atones. He thought back more than twenty years to when hewas a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy.The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory travelled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because o' debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him.When his prison time was up, he found -a job, but couldn't settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with:I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me ... so it's up to you. I'll come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If it's there, I'll come in; if not, I'll wave good-bye and go.And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked.His parents were taking no risks. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door.36. Why did the man shrug impatiently (paragraph 2) while he was thinking of his childhood?A. The thoughts made him angry.B. He felt he had wasted time.C. He was anxious to go home.D. The sweet memory caused him much pain.37. Why did it take him hours to write the letter?A. He doubted if his parents still lived in that house.B. He had much news to tell his parents.C. He felt ashamed to ask for forgiveness.D. He was longing to return home and felt excited.38. In what order did the following events take place?a. He took the money from his parents.b. He bought a bicycle with his savings.c. He was sentenced to prison.d. He wrote the letter home.e. He sat on the pavement.f. He hitchhiked back home.A. b, a, c, d, e, fB. b, a, c, f, d, eC. a, c, b, d, f, aD. a, d, b, c, e, f39. Which of the following best fits into paragraph 8 ?A. Every inch of the house was covered in white. Sheets, pillowcases and table clothes hadbeen placed on every window and door, making it look like a snow house.B. The house before him was just as he remembered: the red bricks, the brown door andnothing else.C. A colourful blanket was over the front door. On it, in large letters, was written, "Welcomehome, sonD. A police car was parked in the drive way, and two officers stood at the front door.40. The best title of the passage is _______.A. Sweet MemoryB. White HandkerchiefC. Abandoned SonD. Leaving HomeDMany psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears. It's a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries; magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would Still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes.Throughout the course of one day, most .areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas o' the brain are not used, but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don't affect other essential areas.From an evolutionary point of view, it's highly unlikely butt our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence support the 1p percent theory.41. How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity?A. It was promoted in various types of copular media.B. Albert Einstein argued strongly in support.C. It was proven in scientific research.D. Few people could prove it wrong.42. The underlined word "unfounded" is chest in meaning to _________.A. undiscoveredB. unprovenC. unknownD. unnecessary43. Which of the following is true according to the writer?A. We use less than 10% of our brains.B. Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.C. The brain is less active during times of sleep.D. The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense.44. What can we infer from the passage?A. People today use more of their brain than in the past.B. Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided.C. Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades.D. Modern scientists have a complete picture of how the brain works.45. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present two sides of brain theory.B. To criticize the 10 percent theory.C. To explain how brain works.D. To describe the history of brain research.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.4．Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A．To question the common belief of courage.B．To argue for the true nature of courage.C．To show the changing meaning of courage.D．To compare different interpretations of courage.5．What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A．Keep to a suitable pace.B．Seek help whenever possible.C．Challenge her own limits.D．Stick with experienced climbers. 6．Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A．The mother asked the girl to rest.B．The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C．The two students pointed out the group’s fault.D．The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.7．What does the author intend to tell us?A．Kindness connects us all.B．Being a beginner takes courage.C．We don’t have to be a hero to be brave.D．With courage, everyone can be perfect.“It’s not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes? Navis’s restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts—some common, others less so.Most of these ingredients (食材) come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it’s like an ordinary wood. But there’s one key difference: everything in it is edible. It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals.“It’s the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about.” He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, servedin a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city,“To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,”says Navis.“It’s about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.” However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too.“When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar (鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge?”Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season.8．What can we learn about Navis’s restaurant?A．It is well received by its guests.B．It serves food with moving stories.C．It offers experimental food for free.D．It is known for its rare food sources. 9．How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods?A．It is a natural forest.B．Diverse plants coexist in it.C．Plants there take longer to grow.D．It provides safe food ingredients. 10．What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis?A．Convenient locations.B．Expensive ingredients.C．Innovative menus.D．Fancy cooking techniques.11．What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A．The sustainable farming practice.B．Farming with proper use of chemicals.C．Natural farming without human intervention.D．An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant.My father started learning French at 57, drawn by the potential benefits of bilingualism (双语能力) in delaying dementia (失智症). Now, 20 years later, he’s on his third teacher. Many people like my father have attempted to pick up a new language. But can this really boost brain health?According to experts, regularly using a new language brings cognitive (认知的) benefits. Ifyou’re trying to recall the right words in another language, your brain is forced to inhibit your mother tongue. This process, called cognitive inhibition, helps improve your brain function. Repeating this process makes your brain more resistant to diseases like dementia. The more you challenge your brain, the better it functions, even if your brain health starts to decline.However, evidence for the benefits of learning a second language in your 60s is weaker. Research by Dr. Leo Antoniou found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didn’t see any difference in their cognition scores, but people who didn’t saw their scores decline. Prof. Diana Smith’s 2023 studies found similar results.Researchers offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results. One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers, probably of high cognitive level for their age, making it hard to see any improvements. “When choosing participants, we have to be careful, are they really representative of the population?” said Dr. Judith Ware. Another is that the language interventions were perhaps too short. These studies have used language lessons that “were very different in their length and frequency,” said Prof. Laura Grossman.To Dr. Antoniou, the limited findings are not entirely surprising. No one would say that learning a new language for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life. But he does think that language lessons can provide cognitive benefits by being cognitively stimulating.Perhaps more important, Prof. Grossman said, learning another language offers other potential advantages, like traveling or connecting with new communities. My father, for example, has remained pen friends with his first teacher and traveled to France numerous times.And at 76, he’s as sharp as ever.12．What happens in the process of “cognitive inhibition”?A．Memory improves.B．Brain health worsens.C．Dementia is cured.D．Native language is held back.13．Which is a possible explanation for the disappointing research results?A．The poor choice of research participants.B．The great length of the language course.C．The intervention of the first language.D．The age difference of the research subjects.14．Whose opinion does the author support by mentioning his father’s experience?A．Leo Antoniou’s.B．Diana Smith’s.C．Laura Grossman’s.D．Judith Ware’s.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Is it never too late to learn a new language?B．Can learning a new language delay dementia?C．Why does my father start learning a new language?D．How does learning a new language benefit aging brain?Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet. 16 You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣).Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty. 17 While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car.From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 18 This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws, even slower ones that they wouldn’t see in a real game.19 To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs.” Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand. 20A．Practice makes perfect.B．You are standing up straight.C．You are loudly clearing your throat.D．Poor training may lead to poor results.E．The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense.F．After all, an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it was bent.G．I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am.二、完形填空I have had no interest in football for as long as I can remember.

Which is the probable name of the course?A. Career Development in Media.B. Editorial Decision-making.C. Fundamentals of Editing.D. Introduction to Publication.22. What will students do in the course?A. Interview award-winning guests.B. Help authors improve their articles.C. Connect with professional publishers.D. Edit one article for Gen Z Era.23. A graduating senior applying for a Day Program on April 30, 2024 should pay _______.A.$5,100B.$5,500C.$6,200D. $6,600BCourage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little brave r and make the world a little better.24. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.25. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.26. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.27. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.C“It's not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes? Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts—some common, others less so.Most of these ingredients(食材) come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby.

A regular customer had rushed him to her office after his pet dog brought the cat home in his mouth. The dog's owner was horrified, believing that his pet had caused the cat's injuries. But Kennon found no teeth marks or bite wounds, which showed that the dog had probably saved, not harmed, the kitten.In Kennon’s opinion, however, the cat was a hopeless case. Many doctors would have put down such a badly hurt animal. But she couldn’t be so cruel. The kitten’s bright eyes and sad face had won her over. There was no way of finding his owner, so Kennon, a single woman aged 56, decided to keep him.She gave him a round of shots and fed him food mixed with medicines. He couldn’t move his back legs but soon started pulling himself forward with his front legs. The doctor named him Scooter and contacted a company that makes carts for disabled animals. Scooter took to his newwheels like a natural. In no time he was able to move freely, if somewhat awkwardly, around Kennon’s office, home and even her backyard. The sight of the determined Scooter was uplifting and amusing in equal measure and Kennon had to smile each time the cat entered the room.Kennon was convinced that her kitten could share his high spirits with others. So she took Scooter to the local hospital to see if he could help the patients. His first patient was an elderly woman who’d had a stroke and hadn’t spoken to anyone for two days. Scooter jumped out of Kennon’s arms and onto the bed, rolled over to the patient, and lay gently near her cheek, purring softly. The woman looked at Scooter. “Kitty,” she murmured as she began to talk to him. Amazed, Kennon turned to the doctor--- and saw that she was in tears. The cat had engineered a small miracle.Today Scooter spends about ten hours a month working with patients who are recovering from strokes and injuries. Again and again, Kennon watches as her cat provides hope and comfort. As one patient who’d lost her leg in a car accident said, “If he can do it, so can I.”26. From Paragraph 1, we know that ___________.A. the do g’s owner was a stranger to KennonB. the cat had several bite marks on its bodyC. the dog was extremely cruel to the catD. who actually injured the cat was unknown27. The underlined phrase “put down” in Paragraph 2 most probably means___________.A. hurtB. killedC. refusedD. replaced28. Why did Kennon decide to keep the cat?A. She wanted a companion.B. The cat’s owner abandoned him.C. She liked the cat.D. The cat was hopeless.29. How did Kennon help the cat move around?A. By curing his broken back.B. By getting him a special cart.C. By feeding him medicines.D. By exercising him in her backyard.30. According to the passage, what is the main reason that the cat works miracle?A. He is able to inspire others.B. Patients feel sympathy for him.C. People are amused by his appearance.D.He has the ability to cure the ill.BWe each have a unique genetic(基因的，遗传的) make-up. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents’genes. Except for identical twins(同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make.But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70births---some are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters.Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins.Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this.We could ask, “Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. We cannot easily change our physical appearance.B. How we turn out depends on our parents’ genes.C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world.D. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are.32. Why are scientists studying twins?A. To find out how many twins are born every year.B. To discover what shapes us as individuals.C. To compare differences between twins.D. To study brother-and-sister relationships.33. According to the passage, __________.A. one in 70 twins are genetically identicalB. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sexC. twins separated at birth behave exactly the sameD. identical twins are genetically the same34. Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage?A. Eating habits.B. Eye-sight.C. Pain resistance.D. Marriage patterns.35. What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Our love of sport.B. Our attitude to risk-taking.C. Our skill at bungee jumping.D. Our ability to take drugs.CAs you climb into the hill country, the roads get dustier and rougher, and fewer cars can be seen. Phonxay is one of the poorest districts of Laos, and many of its villages are only accessible by footpath. Our destination this hot morning is a concrete water tank that can be found just off the road. A UK organization helped to build it six years ago, and in the nearby village of Thapho, where clean drinking water is scarce, it has made a big difference. The tank feeds six taps which in turn give water to over 800 people---it has improved things for almost every family, from schoolchildren to grannies.But lately, we were told, the clean water supply has come under pressure from new arrivals, people who have come down from the hill areas, and there are concerns that there will not be enough clean water to go round.There are also serious worries about resources in Laos. The Chinese are building a 400km railway link, which could transform the landlocked country. About 150,000 Chinese workers will be involved. What will this do to local clean water supplies? How will the workers be fed?The vast majority of Laotians live on farms. But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land, local people will have to be moved to make room for them. Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investment, Laos still falls well behind its neighbours, although its economy has grown at about 6% a year in the last decade. Its biggest economic problem is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce.But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is beautiful, and foreign tourism continues to grow: fortunately so far the fast-food chains and coffee bars common elsewhere are nowhere to be seen. Although all local media are government-run, the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are available to those with satellite dishes.The government has also achieved impressive results in rural development, with communities benefiting not just from cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits from medical teams. Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade, but with small steps forward and a bit of outside help, the country could find itself out of the UN’s least-developed category by 2020.36. The underlined word ”scarce” in paragraph 1 most probably means_________.A. valuableB. rareC. infrequentD. missing37. What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water?A. Dust from the road is making the water dirtier.B. There are too many taps accessing the water.C. The population of the area is growing fast.D. The coming summer will dry up rivers and lakes.38. What is the most serious limitation on Laos’ economic growth?A. The lack of local skilled workers.B. A poor transportation system.C. Too much foreign aid.D. Too many foreign workers.39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for Laos to be hopeful?A. There are no fast-food restaurants in the country.B. Laos has a variety of tourist attractions.C. Information on the Internet is freely accessible.D. The government owns all local media.40. What is the best title for the passage?A. Laos: small steps forward.B. Laos: slow-developing nationsC. Laos: least-developed landD. Laos: landlocked countryDOne-hundred-and seventh birthdays aren’t usually celebrated for authors who aren’t alive anymore. But Theodor Seuss Geisel---better known as the children’s books author Dr. Seuss ---who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children it’s not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:You have brains in your headYou have feet in your shoesYou can steer yourself any direction you chooseAnd will you succeed?Yes indeed, yes indeed!Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.Seuss’s brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they appeal most to children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax “who speaks for the trees” battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods “which everyone needs”.It’s not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it’s also a smart analysis of consumer societies: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want.I could go on, but hey, it’s a birthday, and I’m sure you folks have some good toasts to raise for the party…41. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce Dr. Seuss’s life.B. To analyse Dr. Seuss’s books.C. To describe Dr. Seuss’s writing style.D. To celebrate Dr. Seuss’s achievements.42. Why does the author include Dr. Seuss’s poem?A. To encourage readers to use their brains and choose their own way.B. To give readers a sample of Seuss’s story The Lorax.C. To provide readers with an example of Seuss’s writing style.D. To explain how relevant Seuss’s stories remain today.43. Why do adults also enjoy Seuss’s books?A. His words and pictures are imaginative enough to be enjoyed by all.B. His books give children obvious moral messages to learn from.C. He writes about adult topics in a way that is understandable to children.D. He was the first person to write about the environment.44. When was the book The Lorax written?A. Early 1960s.B. Early 1970s.C. Late1960s. D. Late 1970s.45. Which of the following is true about Seuss?A. Many of the issues he discussed attractedgreater concern in later years.B. He is widely considered as thetwentieth-century Shakespeare.C. His books are more popular now than when they were first published.D. Most readers thought his ideas were difficult to understand.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Feeding the animals D Smoking cigarettes B I saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlie’s hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside \pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the morerealistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. \in disbelief. They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy. They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked 2 around the house to the backporch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. \sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved. 24.

What did the children decide to do at the end of the story? A. To keep the money a secret from others B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner C. To put the wallet back where they found it. D. To buy many different things with the money. C An article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, uprightbody form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. 3 Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament isnot found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones —and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently. But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. \features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today,\forward the theory that early humans chased animalsfor great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them. \controversial, \many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. \28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans’ ability to run? A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking. B. I t helps to form people’s ability to climb trees. C. It has played an important role in human evolution. D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before. 29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors? A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances. B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently. 4 C. people’s shoulders allow them to look from side to side. D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientistsbelieve that early humans_________. A. always came across dangerous situations in life B. ran after animals for long distances when hunting C often failed to find food because they couldn’t run fast D developed their hunting skills by running long distances 31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________. A completely explain how running developed B revolutionize the theory of human evolution C. encourage more in-depth studies on the topic D. be widely supported within the scientific community D Scientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male. Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholesthat preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say. Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger. \the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, \co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology. The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth \fossil record,\said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of 5Natural History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died. Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven’t survived,\\preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.\These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word \A. figure headB. female leader C experienced animal D. mature mammoth 33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals? A. Scientists find it easier to study malefossilised bones. B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to females C Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances. D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form. 34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out? A. The increasing competition for food. B. The cooling of the earth’s temperature. C. The disappearance of male mammoths. D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths. 35. What is the text type of the passage? A. A newspaper article. 第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

However, seeing students' actual experience on such tours, many parents are now suspecting/questioning their true value.概述二：This passage talks about micro-foreign study tours and their expected benefits for children.However, as for students’ actual experience on such tours, many parents are now questioning theirtrue value.I think such worries are unnecessary. Travelling abroad, whether for study or pleasure, is agood way for students to broaden their horizon and become more sophisticated. My friend Davidwent on such a tour, and said it was the most rewarding experience of his life. He attended atwo-week course at Oxford University and then travelled to different parts of the UK, all of whichhelped him to learn more about the history, culture and society of Britain. He was so impressed bythe academic atmosphere at Oxford University that he now dreams of studying there in the future.My own dream is to travel to America, attend some lectures in my dream school, HarvardUniversity and travel to different parts of the USA with local students. This way I could have more opportunity to talk in English and learn about its life and culture.反对二:This passage talks about micro-foreign study tours and their expected benefits for children.However, as for students’ actual experience on such tours, many parents are now questioning theirtrue value.Though expensive, I still thin k study tours are worthwhile. “A million miles is better than amillion books,” the saying goes, and my experience on my own 2-week study tour of the UKconfirmed this. Besides the excitement of seeing places I had only read about or seen in movies,my efforts at communicating with local people really helped to build my confidence. VisitingCambridge has also made me determined to return there one day, but as a student.If I go abroad again, I would like to tailor my own tour. By planning the route according tomy own interests, and making decisions on things such as transport and accommodations, I wouldbe able to apply what I’ve learned to real life and learn how to survive in a foreign country.﹡范文:赞成More and more parents spend more money for their children in expensive “Micro-foreign study tours”.However, they’ve failed to see the expected results and begin to question the value of these study tours.I couldn’t agree more with the author. Students on such tours seldom improve in their spokenEnglish, gain a very shallow understanding of foreign customs, and return loaded with shoppingrather than cultural enrichment.I went on such a tour myself four years ago. I still remember how other students behaved inclass: they were all obsessed with their own business without paying any attention to the teachers.They were quite “enjoying” foreign classrooms: whispering and laughing, reading Chineseromantic novels, playing game-boys, or just chatting online.O bviously, experiences like these don’t make any educational sense. Perhaps, if tours involvestudents not only from China, but also from other countries, it will force students to communicatein English, which, at least in my opinion, would greatly improve their communicative Englishskills.﹡读写任务评分说明读写任务要求学生应用阅读和写作技能完成语言的交际任务。
