Part I Reading Comprehension(60marks,60minutes)Section A Passage Reading(每小题2分，共50分)Format IDirections:There are4passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.（40points）Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:Karen Christiansen in Madison,Wisconsin,is licking stamps and addressing envelopes.Soon she and her fiance will be sending out invitations to their wedding.Meanwhile,Wei Yashung is at the hairdresser in Shanghai,China.She knows she will have a long wait.It is May18,the most popular day to get married in China.The room is filled with brides preparing for their special day.“Everyone feels very emotional at this time.There are a lot of rituals and superstitions（迷信）at the wedding.”says Maxine Rowe,an anthropologist.Karen’s aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs according to old customs.They recite the traditional verse,“Something old,something new,something borrowed,and something blue.”Friends and relatives gather around and contribute grandmother’s locket（纪念品盒）,a cousin wedding1veil,or a blue garter to prepare for the ceremony.Many wedding traditions in western cultures began long ago and were designed to protect the couple from bad luck.“The wedding veil is a Greek custom intended to hide the bride from evil spirits,”says Maxine.“The Romans contributed the custom of bridesmaids to confuse the spirits.Wedding bouquets had strong-smelling herbs to scare away witches and devils.”In China,thousands of couples choose May18for their wedding day.“In the past,people consulted an almanac（历书）to find lucky days”explains Maxine.“But in modem times a new tradition is being formed.”May18sounds very close in Chinese to“wo yao fa,”or“I will get rich.”It is considered a good omen to get married on this day.Some people don’t think it’s a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day.“It’s silly and superstitious,”one reporter wrote.But hairdressers,florists,and owners of restaurants say it’s the best day.They can raise their prices and their services are fully booked.Maybe they are the ones who should be saying,“I will get rich.”1.The overall structure of this passage can be called.parison and contrastB.description of events in order of timeC.details leading to conclusionD.generalization followed by details2.An anthropologist in Paragraph2probably studies.A.hairstylesB.JewelsC.AlmanacD.customs3.Why do Karen friends and relatives contribute a cousin wedding veil?A.Because it is something old.B.Because it is something new.C.Because it is something borrowed.D.Because it is something blue.4.The word“omen”in Paragraph5probably means.A.a sign of starB.a sign of presentC.a sign of pastD.a sign of future5.What’s the writer’s tone in the last sentence“Maybe they are the ones who should be saying,I will get rich”?2A.Humorous.B.Tolerant.C.Matter-of-fact.D.Furious.Passage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention. What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it,as long as it’s something.“Nice weather”?or“How are you?”will do.People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not getting enough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be“good”and be ignored.An interesting time in most households with young children is dinnertime—it’s the end of the day,everybody is tired,the house is in a mess and Johnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food.Again,the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food.Again,he getting the attention he desires;even if it’s not the best sort of attention,it’s better than nothing.It’s fascinating if you’re able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food--after all,he’s the one that is doing what you want him to do.After five or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprived of the attention,it’s amazing how quickly(usually)Johnny sees sense and obeys.I've watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa that they won’t eat their food,to sheepishly crawling to the table saying that maybe they’ll have a little bit,to sitting in their chair wolfing the lot and saying,“Mummy,aren’t I doing good dinner eating?”—all without having one word spoken to them by their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to get it,doesn’t disappear when we turn into adults.Sure,there are people who are“real attention seekers”in a loud and extravert（外向的）way and there are the shy,retiring types who don’t want attention in such a“sociable”way.But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen as worthwhile.6.What will children probably do to get parents’attention?A.They will keep quiet for a long time.B.They will ignore their parents.C.They will behave naughtily.3D.They will get cross easily.7.What does the phrase“the easy trap to fall into”in Paragraph2probably mean?A.A set-up situation parents are likely to go into.B.The household work parents can not avoid.C.Some tempting food children love to eat.D.A bad habit children easily develop.8.An effective way to make children behave themselves may be to.A.scold them severelyB.teach them what to doC.give them total freedomD.praise their sisters or brothers9.“real attention seekers”in the last paragraph are probably those who.A.motivate others to learnB.associate with shy typesC.rely on negative attentionD.arouse others’attention openly10.What point does the author make by relating to children’s behavior?A.Children’s upbringing needs parents’constant care.B.Children are usually extravert while adults are sociable.C.Both adults and children need to be seen as worthwhile.D.The motivation of children differs greatly from that of adults.Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Named for the dense shade of their thick pines,the Black Hills of South Dakota have for centuries been considered holy by the Lakota Sioux,once the most powerful tribe in the West.Today,because of the passions of a few artists,the land itself has become holy in another way.It took the obsessed sculptor Gutzon Borglum,his son Lincoln,and four hundred workers fourteen years(1927-1941)to complete an artistic arid engineering project so monumental that no one believed it possible:carving and blasting the six-story faces of George Washington,Thomas Jefferson,Teddy Roosevelt,and Abraham Lincoln out of 4stony Mount Rushmore.A little trivia:Washington’s eyes are11feet wide,and his nose is26feet long. Mr.Lincoln,for his part,sports a mole（痣）that measures16inches across.Just17miles away,the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial is slowly taking shape.Also carved into granite（花岗岩）,this memorial,when completed somewhere around2050,after a century’s labor,will depict（刻画）Native America’s greatest warriors chief on his horse,dwarfing Mount Rushmore at563 feet tall.The horse’s nostril（鼻孔）alone will be large enough to hold a five-room house.From Crazy Horse,head east on the beautiful14-mile Needles Highway,past billion-year-old granite hills,to Sylvan Lake and then north to Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway,whose landscape you’ll easily recognize as the backdrops used in the film Dances with Wolves.Alternatively,you can park your bags in the pleasant Game Lodge that served as Calvin Coolidge’s Summer White House.Of the historic inn’s seven rooms,you can still book the room the thirtieth president and his wife occupied during the three months in1932.The lodge is one of three found within Custer State Park,whose18-mile Wildlife Loop Road runs through unfenced meadows where herds of1,500buffalo roam.11.The word“sports”in Paragraph2most probably means.A.is famous forB.is characterized byC.is decorated withD.is accompanied by12.Of the four things mentioned in the passage,which one is the largest?A.Washington’s eyes.B.Washington’s nose.C.Lincoln’s mole.D.Crazy Horse’s nose.13.Which of the following projects is still in progress?A.Lincoln face.B.Crazy Horse.C.Summer White House.D.Wildlife Loop Road.14.What is NOT a feature that Mount Rushmore sculpture and Crazy Horse have in common?A.They were very large.B.They were carved out of granC.They were located in the Black Hills.D.They both depicted the Indian tribes.15.Who is the thirtieth president of the US?A.Thomas Jefferson.B.Teddy Roosevelt.C.Abraham Lincoln.D.Calvin Coolidge.5Passage FourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:Women are more efficient and trustworthy,have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise.In short they make the best managers,and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning from their female counterparts,a report claims today.The survey of1,000 male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment（谴责）of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modem workplace.A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modem outlook on their profession and were more open--minded and considerate.By way of contrast,a similar number believe male managers are self-centered and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.Management Today magazine,which conducted the research,said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behavior in the workplace,women have become role models for managers.The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US.A five-year study of2,500 managers from450firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-centered and autocratic（独裁的）.Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.In Britain more than61%of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women. Female managers use time more effectively,with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling（兼顾的）commitments is a familiar practice for women with a job and a family.Female managers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies:most people,of either sex,would rather ask for a rise from a man.16.What is the source of the data mentioned in the passage?A.A magazine.B.A newspaper.C.A government white paper.D.A university journal.17.According to the passage,male managers tend to.A.be more selfless in teamworkB.ask more questions when surveyedC.be considerate leaders in a companyD.claim the contribution made by their colleagues18.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and in the US?6A.The findings are irrelevant.B.The findings are contradictory.C.The findings match each other.D.The findings are not significant.19.What does the phrase“penny-pinching companies”in Paragraph7probably mean?panies that lack money.panies that are very generous.panies that earn a lot of money.panies that are unwilling to spend money.20.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Men are better managers than women.B.Women are better managers than men.C.Male managers are more willing to learn.D.Men leaders and women leaders have different advantages.FormatⅡDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For

Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 As we recently discovered, there is a Stepmother's Day, though it is not on any official holiday calendar. So, it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads, too. Right? Well, it depends on what you read. A Google search brought up posts that say, for example, " It's on father's day—father's day is for fathers, step - fathers and people who are like fathers to you—it's a day for making father figures feel special. " Further searching found a Stepfather's Day Facebook page that says, "The unofficial Stepfather's Day is the fourth Sunday of June. " Unfortunately, as of the publishing of this article, only 30 people have " liked" the page. Considering that studies show 3. 3 million men, or 11. 1% of U. S. fathers, live with at least one stepchild, that's only a drop in the ocean.It's interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents'Day. President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children's lives, they are often seen as the most loving family members. But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders, the ones who have to endure the hurtful"You're not my dad!"or"You're not my mom!"And yet they never give up. They do their best to overcome the <u>inherent</u> challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren. These unsung (未被颂扬的) family heroes deserve "official "days of honor. Perhaps if we are loud enough, President Obama,who had a stepfather himself, will sign into law National Stepmother's Day and National Stepfather's Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard. How cool it would be if we could make this happen!21 What does the underlined word" that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?（A）11. 1% of U. S. fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U. S.（B）3. 3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.（C）Father figures who are equally honored in the U. S.（D）30 people who support Stepfather's Day on the Facebook page.22 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978?（A）The National Stepchildren's Day.（B）The National Stepparents'Day.（C）The National Grandparents'Day.（D）The National Grandchildren's Day.23 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word" inherent" in Paragraph 2? （A）Inevitable.（B）Lasting.（C）Unbelievable.（D）Tough.24 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?（A）Because they are often seen as the most loving family members.（B）Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.（C）Because they love their role as stepparents.（D）Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.24 Most students choose " Homestay" accommodation when they study abroad: others select Home-stay even if they are not on a study visit. Statistics show that it's a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family, or "host family" as we say. There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher:select not to have classes at all when you visit—a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements. Placement (安置 ) organizations think about location, interests, language level, eating requirements, allergies (过敏) and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs, good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical—and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre. Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practise English with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English, why not have your English classes in your host family? There's no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !25 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who______.（A）want to learn statistics（B）plan to study overseas（C）plan to visit relatives（D）want to stay at home26 Who will consider students' requirements before their Homestay starts?（A）The language school.（B）The host family.（C）The English teacher.（D）The placement organization.27 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?（A）Students' specific needs.（B）Students' language level.（C）Nationality of the host family.（D）Eating habits of the host family.28 What can be inferred from the passage?（A）The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.（B）The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.（C）The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.（D）The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.28 Using less energy around the home is easier than you might think, saving your money while creating a healthier, more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and theenvironment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating, lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it, but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it, head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster, they also use up energy. By hanging your clothes out you'll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load. Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight's natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days, install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun. Put your desk near the window, then you don't need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap (裹) your pipesBe sure your hot-water pipes are properly wrapped. In an average home, heating water accounts for more than one-quarter of the energy bill. Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?

I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I couldbe a typical absent-minded husband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, <u>" Did you even hear what I just said?"</u>I would defensively say, " Of course I did!"In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeksof my recovery.Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two—year—old son looked puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.When I got home, I noriced a"side effect" : as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her: I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn't want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previouslydismissed as" things I just don't get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks, I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now, not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.33 According to the passage, the author is most likely a______.（A）journalist（B）doctor（C）driver（D）teacher34 What does the wife mean by asking" Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1 ?（A）You didn't have to nod while you were listening.（B）You should tell me what I said iust now.（C）You should listen to me.（D）You didn't want to talk with me.35 What is true of the author after the surgery?（A）He was unwilling to talk to his wife.（B）He was unable to communicate with his son.（C）He was required to keep silent for the first few months.（D）He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.36 What did the author realize after the surgery?（A）His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.（B）His son didn't like talking.（C）His wife was a talkative woman.（D）His house was full of pleasant talks.36 Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largest<u>edible</u> seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both" meat" and" water" inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings: the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese (葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco , meaning" ghost" in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses. It is used to make various cooking oils for fast-food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage fight off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics(化妆品) , medicines, and so on. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool for shining wood floors. The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things. It's no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as"the tree of life".37 What does the underlined word "edible "in Paragraph 1 mean?（A）Eatable.（B）Available.（C）Visible.（D）Collectible.38 The coconut got its name because of______. （A）its round shape（B）its ghostlike appearance（C）its hard shell（D）its white color39 What is the passage mainly about?（A）Types of coconut seeds.（B）The discovery of coconut.（C）The history of coconut.（D）Uses of coconut.40 What can be learned from the passage? （A）Coconut fluid can become fertilizer. （B）Coconut trunks are houses for birds. （C）Coconut trees are useful plants.（D）Coconut oil is rare and expensive.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

It's not a requirementSince finishing my studies at Harvard and Oxford，I've watched one friend after another land high-ranking，high-paying Wall Street jobs．As executives（高级管理人员） with banks，consulting firms，established law firms，and major corporations，many are now (21) on their way to impressive careers．By society's (22)，they seem to have it made．On the surface，these people seem to be very lucky in life．As they left student life behind，many had a (23) drink at their cheap but friendly local bar，shook hands with longtime roommates，and(24)out of small apartments into high buildings．They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine (25)a college year's monthly rent．They replaced their beloved old cars with expensive new sports cars．The thing is，a number of them have (26) that despite their success，they aren't happy．Some(27) of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they(28)．Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and(29)．However，instead of devoting themselves to their work，they find themselves working to support the (30)to which they have so quickly become(31)．People often speak of trying a more satisfying path，and (32)in the end the idea of leaving their jobs to work for something they (33)or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion：it's (34)．They have loans，bills，a mortgage（抵押贷款） to (35)，retirement to save for．They recognize there's something (36) in their lives，but it's (37)to step off the track．In a society that tends to (38)everything in terms of dollars and cents，we learn from a young age to consider the costs of our (39) in financial terms．But what about the personal and social costs (40)in pursuing money over meaning？These are exactly the kinds of costs many of us tend to ignore-and the very ones we need to consider most．21.

When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading． This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone． After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before． I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure． I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me． And I'm not going to ask you what words mean."The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking？One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished． Then, still looking at me, she said slowly andseriously, "Mr. Holt, do you really mean that？"I said just as seriously, "I mean every word of it."During the spring she really astonished me． One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, "It can't be, "and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts. I said, "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going" She answered, "Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is-an exciting, joyous adventure． Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else． How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of "understanding" that can be dug out of a book.41. According to the passage, children's fear and dislike of books may result from______ ．A. reading little and think littleB. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others42. The teacher told his students to read ______ .A. for enjoymentB. for knowledgeC. for a larger vocabularyD. for higher scores in exams43. Upon hearing the teacher's talk, the children probably felt that ______ .A. it sounded stupidB. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be trueD. it was no different from other teachers' talk44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to thepassage？A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading．B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks．C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books．D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school．45. From the teacher's point of view, ______ .A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD. reading involves understanding every little piece of informationBGraphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information，especially numbers，percentages，and other data．A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret．That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data．Graphs can seem frightening，but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story．The graph has a title，a main idea，and supporting details．You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text．Most graphs have a few basic parts：a caption or introduction paragraph，a title，a legend or key，and labeled axes．An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data．Captions will usually tell you where the data from（for example，a scientific study of 400African elephants from 1980to 2005）．Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well．The title is very important．It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown．A legend，also called a key，is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph．Many graphs，including bar graphs and line graphs，have two axes that form a corner．Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph．Each axis will always have a label tells you what each axis measures．Bar GraphsA bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts．In Graph 1，we see that the x-axis showsgrades students earned，and the y-axis shows how many students earned each grade．You can see that 6students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6on the vertical measurement．There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this （See Graph 1）Line GraphsA line graph looks similar to a bar graph，but instead ofbars，it plots points and connects them with a line．It has thesame parts as a bar graph-two labeled axes-and can be read the same way．To read a line graph，it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points．This type of graph is most commonly used to show howsomething changes over time．Here is a graph that charts howfar a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration（See Graph 2）．The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days．The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers．Thuswe can see that，on the first day，the pipit flew 20kilometers．The line segment goes up between Day 1and Day 2，which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2．If the line segment angled down，as between Day 4and Day 5，it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before．This line graph is a quick，visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration．Pie GraphsA typical pie graph looks like a circular pie．The circle is divided intosections，and each section represents a fraction of the data．The graph iscommonly used to show percentages； the whole pie represents 100percent，so each piece is a fraction of the whole．A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice．This pie graph shows one month's expenses（See Graph 3）．Food 25Movies12Clothing 36Savings20Books $746. When used in a graph，a legend is ______ ．A. a guide to the symbols and colorsB. an introduction paragraphC. the main ideaD. the data47. What is the total number of students who earned a C or better？ ______A. 4．B. 6．C. 10．D. 20．48. The bird covered the longest distance on ______ ．A. Day 1．B. Day 2．C. Day 3．D. Day 4．49. Which of the following cost Amy most？ ______A. Food．B. Books．C. Movies．D. Clothing．CIf humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal （夜间活动的）species on this planet．Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adaptedto living in the sun's light．This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings．Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night：We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light．The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences-called light pollution-whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study．Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into sky．Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels-and light rhythms-to which many forms of life，including ourselves，have adapted．Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected．In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze（霾） that mirrors our fear of the dark．We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night-dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth-is wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost．We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further from the truth．Among mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing．Light is a powerful biological force，and on many species it acts as a magnet（磁铁）．The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being"captured"by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms．Migrating at night，birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings．Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses．Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs．Like most other creatures，we do need darkness．Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself．Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage-the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night．In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being，which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way-the edge of our galaxy-arching overhead．50. According to the passage，human beings ______ ．A. prefer to live in the darknessB. are used to living in the day lightC. were curious about the midnight worldD. had to stay at home with the light of the moon51. What does"it"（Paragraph 1）most probably refer to？ ______A. The nightB. The moonC. The skyD. The planet52. The writer mentions birds and frogs to ______ ．A. provide examples of animal protectionB. show how light pollution affects animalsC. compare the living habits of other speciesD. explain why the number of certain species has declined53.

What might be the best title for the passage？A. The Magic LightB. The Orange HazeC. The Disappearing NightD. The Rhythms of Nature．DIn 2004，when my daughter Becky was ten，she and my husband，Joe，were united in their desire for a dog．As for me，I shared none of their canine lust．But why，they pleaded．"Because I don't have time to take care of a dog．"But we'll do it．"Really？You're going to walk the dog？Feed the dog？Bathe the dog？"Yes，yes and yes．"I don't believe you．"We will．We promise．They didn't．From day two （everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day），neither thought to walk the dog．While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her，Misty knew this on day one．As she looked up at the three new humans in her life （small，medium，and large），she calculated，" The medium one is the sucker in the pack．"Quickly，she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld（心灵融合）．She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers，beam her need，and then wait，trusting I would understand---which，strangely，I almost always did．In no time，she became my fifth appendage（附肢），snoring on my stomach as I watched television．Even so，part of me continued to resent walking duty．Joe and Becky had promised．Not fair，I'd balk（不心甘情愿地做） silently as she and I walked．"Not fair，"I'd loudlyremind anyone within earshot upon our return home．Then one day---January 1，2007，to be exact---my husband's doctor uttered an unthinkable word：leukemia （白血病）．With that，I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital，doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort．During those six months of hospitalizations，Becky，12at that time，adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school．My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies．Every part of my life changed； no part of my old routine remained．Save one：Misty still needed walking．At the beginning，when friends offered to take her through her paces，I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with．As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty．The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet，peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded．The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise．When serious illness visits your household，it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar．Pretty much everyone you know acts differently．Not Misty．Take her for a walk，and she had no interest in Joe's blood or bone marrow test results．On the street or in the park，she had only one thing on her mind：squirrels!She was so joyful that even on the worst days，she could make me smile．On a daily basis，she reminded me that life goes on．After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow．I'm grateful---to a point．The truth is，after years of balking，I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty．As I watch her chase a squirrel，throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory，she reminded me，too，that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future，there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment．55. Why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story？______ ．A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble．B. It would be her business to take care of the dog．C. Her husband and daughter were united as one．D. She didn't want to spoil her daughter．56. Which of the following is the closestin meaning to"The medium one is the sucker in the pack．" ______ ．A. "The middle-aged person loves me most．"B. "The medium-sized woman is the hostess．"C. "The man in the middle is the one who has the final say．"D. "The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family．"57. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3that ______ ．A. Misty was quite cleverB. Misty could solve math problemsC. the write was a slow learnerD. no one walked Misty the first day58. The story came to its turning point when ______ ．A. Joe died in 2009B.

It has revolutionized the way we communicate, work, and even learn. However, some people argue that technology has made us more isolated and less connected to one another.While it is true that technology can create a sense of isolation, it also has the power to bring people together. Social media platforms, for example, allow us to connect with friends and family members who are far away. Online communities enable us to share our interests and experiences withlike-minded individuals. Additionally, technology has made it easier to collaborate with others on projects and initiatives, regardless of physical distance.Furthermore, technology has the potential to bridge gaps between different cultures and languages. Translation and communication tools have made it easier for people from diverse backgrounds to understand and connect with one another. This increased connectivity can lead to greater understanding and empathy between individuals and communities.In conclusion, while technology may have the potential to isolate us, it also has the power to bring us together. It is up to usto use technology in a way that fosters connection, empathy, and understanding. By harnessing the power of technology for positive purposes, we can create a more connected and compassionate world for all.。

You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served hi m right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message toSteve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The three of them were all language majors.B. Steve and Jim were more alike in character.C. The author didn’t enjoy talking with Steve.D. Their living condition was rather poor.62. What is the author’s opinion of Steve?A. Steve was a very hardworking fellow.B.Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.C.Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.D. Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.63. Which of the following is true about Jim?A. Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.B. He had a French way of making friends.C. He learned French in order to date Paris girls.D. He liked doing housework.64. What does the last sentence of the 1st paragraph imply?A. Steve didn’t like offering help to others.B. American people only eat their own food.C. Americans and Chinese differ in their sense of value.D. Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.A. Jim is a very good husband.B. Steve enjoys teaching Chinese.C. The author works for overseas students.D. The three friends still keep in touch.Passage TwoHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66.The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67.The word “they”underlined in Line 4, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests68. A child has his pains because____. .A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69.When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society70.The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’over favoring can makethem spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71. According to the passage, children of rich families __________.A. enjoy travelingB. can buy loveC. usually commit suicideD. are not always happy72. Dr. Robert Coles believes that __________.A. being rich has as many advantages as being poorB. rich children often get too little entertainmentC. rich children sometimes can’t enjoy the thin g they are most in need ofD. rich children aren’t given enough things73. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.C. Money can’t buy everything.D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.74. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means __________.A. very expensive spoonsB. rich peopleC. wealthD. spoons made of silver75. This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________.A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselvesB. money can bring a lot of things, including loveC. life is always happy for children of rich parentsD. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than moneyPassage FourCharlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answers with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been dropped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend's homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one's hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today's youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today's students feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because ____.A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77. Charlene passed the test because ____.A. she answered all the questions by herselfB. she did the test by cheatingC. she persuaded her teacher to give her a BD. she returned to the classroom to redo the test78. Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.B. A student writes down something to be tested before an exam.C. A student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.D. A student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it.79. The 1978 study of cheating in Georgia shows that ____.A. only students in the 24 high schools cheated in examinationsB. both good and poor students cheated in examinationsC. boys liked cheating while girls did not like itD. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did80. One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that ____.A. more and more public things are damagedB. good values disappoint studentsC. more and more students begin to stealD. honest people are in higher positionPart Ⅳ Translation (2×10 points)Directions:There are 10 sentences in this section.
