Each can only bespeaking and what you wish to ___46___ by your speech. The four most common purposes of speech are to inform, to convince, to move to action, and to entertain.

Or, like a debater, with to ___47___ the judges or the audience? Or, like a fund collector for a naturalist foundation, wish to get money? Or, like a comedian or after-dinner speaker, wish to ___48___? The language and tone you use must be proper for your purpose, for your audience, and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will have quite different language, tone and manner from information delivered to a group of your friends.Furthermore, however talented the speaker is, a talk without enough preparation is usually a failure. To speak without preparing is to ____49____ without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is; then state it in a complete topic sentence.

For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in Eng land you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, ___53___ bad weather, and making food without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a camp site with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.Ⅳ. Complete the sentences with the g iven words in their proper forms（用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子，每空格限填一次）（共8分）54.

Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共32分）A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）（6分）Videodisc holds great promise of helping to meet the needs of American schoolchildren who have problems seeing, hearing, speaking, or socializing. Almost eleven percent of the students aged 3～21 in this country have an impairment that affects their ability to benefit from a regular education program. Handicapped students require special education because they are often markedly different from most children in one or more of the following ways: mentally retarded (发展迟缓的), learning-disabled, emotionally disturbed, deaf, visually handicapped, physically handicapped, or other health impairments. The education of these handicapped children is rewarding but challenging.A special education student usually needs a longer period of time to acquire information. Repetitive teaching techniques are often beneficial, and indefatigable(孜孜不倦的) consistency on the part of the teacher is frequently necessary. Interactive videodisc courseware has characteristics that can be capitalized upon to meet the challenges that special education poses. A videodisc program is infinitely patient. Repetition of any videodisc lesson can continue endlessly, and designers can assure absolute consistency within a program. Most important, according to special educator William Healey of the University of Arizona, is that videodisc “adds an extra dimension of realism for children who need graphic representations”.Healey explained that deaf and mentally retarded children especially have difficulty grasping figurative (比喻的) language and higher-order language concepts. He believes that for special education, the power of videodisc lies in the ability of the technology to visually represent language concepts normally taken for granted by non-handicapped persons. Complexfigurative language forms such as idioms and metaphors come most readily to mind as being difficult for handicapped learners.74. The word“impairment”（Line 3,Para.1）probably means _______.A. habitB. disabilityC. misconceptionD. belief75. Which of the following teaching techniques is beneficial to the handicapped students?A. Task-based methodB. Inquiry-Based LearningC. Cooperative LearningD. Repetitive teaching technique76. The special education mentioned in the passage is mainly concerned with _______.A. genius students from day-care centers to collegesB. students who are fond of computer video gamesC. students who are either mentally or physically disabledD. teachers of language in the University of Arizona77. A videodisc courseware is beneficial to those who have study difficulties because ______.A. its fancy design is very attractiveB. it allows the user to go back to where he wants to restudyC. the content of it is healthy and promisingD. it is developed by university professors78. According to Professor Healey, we may infer that mentally retarded children perhaps _____.A. need graphic representations in order to understand higher-order language conceptsB. are good at studying English idioms but often fail to grasp higher order language conceptsC. are not very patient with videodisc which helps them to understand the world conceptsD. tend to be deal as well and have difficulty learning the simple concept“before and after”79. The best phrase that summarize the main idea of the passage is ___.A. handicapped students and their problemsB. videodisc and special educationC. computer assisted teaching programsD. normal children and handicapped kidsB. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）（6分）The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it ___80___ our kids.Al Gore famously described how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, estimating that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.When faced with these exaggerations (夸大), some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on tacking climate change.This argument is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, ___81___, on global warming’s impact on malaria (疟疾)—which will put slightly more people at___82___ in 100 years—instead of tacking the half a billion people suffering from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.Exaggeration also wears out the public’s ___83___ to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A majority of people now believe –incorrectly – that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the ___84___ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes –particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal extinction from global warming.The newspaper also reported that parents are taking over effective outlets for their 8-year-olds’ concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that,related to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half-century, to about 22,000. ___85___ the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.80. A. exhausts B. depresses C. terrifies D. exploits81. A. for example B. in addition C. by contrast D. in short82. A. peace B. leisure C. case D. risk83. A. ability B. endurance C. willingness D. preference84. A. smallest B. worst C. fewest D. least85. A. Despite B. Besides C. Without D. ExceptC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）I’m usually fairly skeptical（怀疑的）about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s chi ldren are significantly more a___86___ than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America’s ki ds so stressed? The report cites two main c___87___: increasing physical isolation brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things--and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. S___88___ social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can p___89___ the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.L___90___ the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence y our children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies;children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your e___91___ for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and p___92___ a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxie ty is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life.D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（6分）With 26 British prime ministers, 58 Nobel prize winners, over 150 Olympic medals list that reads like a historical hall of fame, the institutions of Oxford and Cambridge – collectively known as Oxbridge –are seen, by many people, as the dream alma mater （母校）.However, as admission season dawns, and the October 15 deadline for Oxbridge inches ever closer, many students may wonder what makes the UK’s top two institutions so special. Why does Oxbridge symbolize the academic dream for so many? Do the universities deserve the reputation they hold in the minds of so many teenagers, parents and academics?There is no doubt that both Oxford and Cambridge have a long standing history of academia. Yet, what is often overlooked is the strong reputation of countless other universities in the UK.A simple click on Google can tell students that the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, for example, has over 18 Nobel Prize winners and 50 world leaders. University College London attracts students from 150 countries and has exchange and research links with nearly 300 overseas universities. Manchester University has the largest student union of all UK universities.I suddenly realized the Oxbridge effect when I was out inLondon with friends. I met some new people and was surprised by their reaction when I told them I was going to study at Cambridge. One person even got down on one knee and kissed my hand.From then on, I told people I was going on a gap year. Although I knew that Oxbridgeprovides a good education, I had never expected to get such extreme reactions. It was this that made me start to feel uncomfortable about the way that Oxbridge is viewed.The Cambridge Tab, the university’s student newspaper, has argued that what makes Cambridge special is the fact that the students are told that they are unique and a cut above the rest, so they believe it.For students applying now, yes, you will receive a world class education at Oxbridge, but you will find the same at numerous other universities throughout the country. Every time you hear about the brilliance of Oxbridge, consider that just because many believe, it does not have to be so.93.

Both Oxford and Cambridge have a long standing histo ry of academia, don’t they?________________________________________________________________ _______________ 95.

allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of acity?In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.69.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.70.Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author?A.Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.B.Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.C.Because people like following old ideas and do not like change.D.Because people have to respect new architectural styles.71.Which of the following is true according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.72.By using`“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably means“”.A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historicalbuildings73.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up with living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.74.What is the author’s attitude towards the topic“Should we allow modern buildings to be builtnext to older buildings in a historic area of a city?”A.UninterestedB.SupportiveC.NeutralD.DisapprovedB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(12分)In1973,I was teaching elementary school.Each day,27kids entered“The Thinking Laboratory.”That was the name students voted for after deciding that“Room104”was too dull.Freddy was an average student,but not an average person.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion（同情）.He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s 75.Before the school year,I gave the kids a special gift,T-shirts with the words“Verbs Are Your76”on them.I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull,most of the fun things they do through out their lives will be verbs.Through the years,I’d run into former students who would provide77on old classmates.I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same78person I met forty years before.Once,while working over night at a store,he let a homeless man sleep in his truck.Another time,he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year,I was79a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope.I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the“Verbs”shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother.“Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving.He wanted you to have this.”I told the story to the class.As sad as it was,I couldn’t help smiling.Although Freddy was taken from us,we all80something from Freddy.75..A.misfortune B.disbelief C.dishonesty D.mistake76.A.friends B.Awards C.Masters D.Tasks77.A.assessments ments C.instructions D.updates78.A.daring B.modest C.caring D.smart79.A.observing B.preparing C.designing D.conducting80.A.chose B.took C.expected D.borrowedC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(14分)For most city people,the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains,jets，and even bicycles.Dr.Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who c81this a misunderstanding.Without the elevator,they point out,there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings,and city life as we know it would be i82.In that sense,they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars.In fact,according to Wilk?the car and the elevator have been locked in a“secret war”for over a century,with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical(垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators,it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring,and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common,and an unpleasant a83of the fact thatwe’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book,Lifted,German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a84to this experience,studying the origins of elevator and its r85 to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience.“After150years,we are still not used to it”，Bernard said.“We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”That mixture,according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s86we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more c87, taller,and more crowded,America’s total number of elevators—900,000at last count,according to Elevator World magazine’s“2012Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever.And for the people who really,really love them,it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.81c82i83.848586.87.D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(12分)Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents?According to James Flynn,a professor at a New Zealand university,you are!Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher---on average,three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the“Flynn effect”,and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge.Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment,but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity（遗传）. So what has occurred in the20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test.Others have pointed to better nutrition.Babies now are born larger,healthier,and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles,with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test.Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test;they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving.For example,one part of the test shows a set of shapes,and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn,this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.Every time you play a computer game,you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test.So are you really smarter than your parents?In one very specific way,you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1分)89.What do IQ tests focus on,general intelligence or knowledge?(2分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2分)93.Do you agree with Flynn?Why or why not?(3分)参考答案26-30DBADD31-35DBABB36-40ADABA41-45CADDC46.D47.A48.E49.B50.C51.A52.B53.E54.trickier55.habitual56.essence57.skillfully58.respetable59.exchange60.electricity61.requirements62.Did,stick63.It's,since64.am woken65.isn't it66.What important67.preferred,to 69.A70.C71.C72.C73.D74.B75.A76.A77.D78.C79.D80.B81.consider82.impossible83.awareness84.attention85.relationship86.situation87. crowded88.Yes,he does89.General intelligence90.By increasing exposure to tests and learning test-taking techniques.91.The sections requiring reasoning and problem solving92.To prove that increasing the amount of technology in our lives can improve the visual intelligence.93.略。

She had to work to support the family. Her English was very poor. She didn't havethe confidence to knock on the door of a company to ask for a job.O ne day. Lilly saw a sign at a company. "Help wanted.” the sign said. She walked up to the office and knocked on the door. She was met by the office manager. Margaret Costello. In her broken English, Lilly told her she was interested in the secretarial position, and said that she was 19. Margaret knew something wasn't right, but decided to give the girl a chance.Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, "Lilly, let's see how good you really are. She let Lilly type a single letter, and then left. Lilly looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:40 a.m. Everyone would leave for lunch at noon. She thought that she could slip away in the crowd then. But she thought she should at least try the letter. On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words, and she made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock now showed 11:45. On her second try, Lilly got through a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. Again, she pulled out the paper, threw it out and started over. This time she completed the letter, but there were still many mistakes. She looked at the clock: 11:55. Just then. Margaret walked in. She read the letter and then said, “Lilly, you did a good job." Lilly was surprised. With those simple words of encourage ment, her confidence began to grow. She thought, “Well, if she thinks it's good, then it must be good. I think I’ll stay.”Lilly did stay at the company for 51 years, and through two world wars-all because someone gave a shy and uncertain young girl self-confidence when she knocked at the door.69.

The Etruscans(伊特拉斯坎人）knew how to make them as far back as 700 B.C. Then the Etruscans’ knowledge of false teeth was f ____81_____, and for many years no one knew how to make them.At one time in England, dentists pulled out peopled teeth w_____82____giving anything to stop the pain. Sometimes the dentist’s assistant hit a drum loudly so that the crowd would not hear the cries of pain. Another assistant held the patient down as the dentist pulled out the teeth.Then in the seventeenth century, dentists attempted to make false teeth again. The problem, however, was not making the teeth; it was keeping them in place. They had to tie each false tooth to the teeth on either side of it. Only rich people could a____83_____false teeth, which were usually made of ivory, gold or silver. As the demand for new teeth increased, poor people would often sell their teeth so that they could buy food and clothing.Many c____84_____were made to false teeth during the next 200 years, though some of these were not really improvements. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, for example, cheap celluloid(赛璐璐，一种塑料)teeth were introduced.

And in the near future, very f____87___ people will have them because by adding certain things to the water we drink, we have been able to keep our teeth so healthy that most people will never need false teeth.D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)Few people would disagree that email makes our lives easier. But misusing email can cause problems. Answering all those emails and processing all that information can overload(使负荷过大) the brain, causing stress. So says the Future Work Center, a business based in London. This company carries out psychological(心理的) research on people’s experiences in their workplaces.Dr. Richard MacKinnon at the center was the lead author of a report on messaging habits. He calls email a double-edged sword: Emails provide a useful way to communicate, but they could add to tension（紧张情緒）in the mind, causing stress. Come rain or shine(无论如何)，some office workers are under pressure to read and answer emails all day long. Psychologists care about the pressure that workers bring on themselves. Dr. MacKinnon says that while email can be a valuable, time-saving communication tool, it can also be a source of stress and even anger for many of us. He adds that the stress does not come from the number of emails you get. The problems result from when and how you deal with them.According to the study, leaving email on all day and never signing off ( 签收), along with reading and answering emails early in the day and late at night, are what makes email stressful. Dr. MacKinnon says these bad email habits are linked to higher levels of stress in office workers. The report gives several suggestions on avoiding email stress.•Use email with a plan. Do not just react to endless email. If you use an email application, or app, close it down when you want to be left alone.•If you need to communicate with a co-worker, call or better still walk to their office and talk about it.•Be careful with the "reply air option. For example, if you are accep ting an invitation to attend training, just write back to those who need to know. Trust me. Other workers on that mailing list will thank you.•And accept the fact that if a matter is urgent, employers will call you about it. Email is certainly not going anywhere, so it is important to take control of your emails and not the other way around.88.Many people disagree that email makes our lives easier, don't they?89.Why does Dr. MacKinnon call email Ma double-edged sword”?90.What is linked to bad email habits in office workers?91.What’s the purpose of giving suggestions according to the report?92.If you want to receive an invitation by email, what should you do to reply it?93.What good or bad habit of email processing have you got?Why do you think it is good or bad?VII.

In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placedvery successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.69.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? A.Someof them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.70.Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author?A.Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.B.Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.C.Because people like following old ideas and do not like change.D.Because people have to respect new architectural styles.71.Which of the following is true according to the author? A.Weshould reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.72.By using `“move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_______”.A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings73.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.Toexplain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up with living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.74.What is the author’s attitude towards the topic“Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?”A.UninterestedB.SupportiveC.NeutralD.DisapprovedB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(12 分)In 1973, I was teaching elementary school. Each day, 27 kids entered“The Thinking Laboratory.” That was the name students voted for after deciding that “Room 104” was too dull.Freddy was an average student, but not an average person.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion （同情）. He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s __75_______.Before the school year___________, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your_____76____ ” on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull, most of the fun things they do through out their lives will be verbs.Through the years, I’d run into former students who would provide ___77_______ on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same ____78____ person I met forty years before. Once, while working over night at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year, I was ____79______ a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the “Verbs” shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother. “Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this.”I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn’t help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all____80______something from Freddy.75..A. misfortune B. disbelief C. dishonesty D. mistake76.A.friends B. Awards C.

Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be i___82___. In that sense, they argue ，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk? the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring, and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant a____83__ of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his a___84___to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its r____85____to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”，Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture,according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other s___86____we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today ，as the world’s urban population explodes ，and cities become more c__87____, taller,and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count,according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.81c______82i______ 83.______84________85_______86._____87.______D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(12 分)Do you think you are more intelligent than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the“Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity （遗传）. So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger,healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.Questions88.Does Flynn think you are smarter than your parents and grandparents?(1 分)89.What do IQ tests focus on,general intelligence or knowledge?(2 分)90.How do educational styles help people do better in the test according to some scientists?(2 分)91.Which sections did the test takers do better in the test on?(2 分)92.Why does the writer mention computer games?(2 分) 93.D o you agree with Flynn?Why or why not?(3 分)参考答案26-30DBADD 31-35DBABB 36-40 ADABA 41-45 CADDC46.

The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor”help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about out good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, one it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important to our happiness.1.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________ .A.self-respectB. sneaky excitementC.financial rewardsD. friendly relationship2.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________ .A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising3.What dose the underlined word “sneaky”mean in paragraph 3?A. secretB. unnoticeableC. silentD. public4.The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”(in Para.5) means ________ .A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC.blaming the clerk for the errorD. reminding the clerk of the charged item5.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A.
