studying.

Martha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance,
whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts,
Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred
dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.
Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the
dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning.
Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts,
founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to
dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.
In 1936, Graham made her defining work, beginning of a new era in
modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner.
Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War,
it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.
（服装）

Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people
who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag.

group shows some of their methods.
Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of
Freedom in nineteen seventy-six. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor.
She died in 1991 at the age of ninety-six. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the
and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.

Years ago, students applying to colleges and universities had to have their applications and
personal essays printed out and then “snail-mailed”. Flash forward to today’s world of Facebook,
Instagram and WeChat, where photos, videos and mobile phones rule. Fortunately, several new tools are
making it easier for college applicants to use technology to show off their personalities, skills and creativity.
ZEEMEE
One of the more popular innovations in college applications is ZeeMee, a free mobile app that allows
students to upload personal profiles and videos to create visual resumes. More than 220 colleges and
universities offer a ZeeMee option as part of the application process. The video can show the unique
creative aspects of the applicants.
THE COALITION LOCKER
Another relatively new tool comes from the Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success, now used
by more than 110 member colleges and universities. Among the group’s stated goals are getting students
engaged in college prep early and using technology to create a supportive application process that
encourages reflection and self- discovery.
Students who sign up for the free platform get access to a digital “locker”, which they can use all
through high school to save class papers, artwork, newspaper stories, videos and photos to share with
colleges when they eventually apply.

VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWS
At some schools, an interview with an admission officer is an important part of the application process.
To make it easier, several virtual interviewing tools have popped up, such as a video-based platform from
Kira. More than 140 universities worldwide use Kira’s video assessment tool to conduct real-time
interviews with prospective students. During the interview, candidates are shown the questions prerecorded
by the particular school and must respond in real time by talking into the camera on their laptop or phone.
In addition to showing their ability, to speak fluently in English and think on their feet, it helps admission
officers determine the “motivation, commitment and drive” of applicants.
UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLS
Some universities have come up with their own ways to allow students to show their skills and
personalities. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, encourages applicants to display
their technical abilities and creativity by submitting a “Maker Portfolio” —a written or videotaped
description of a project that shows creative and problem-solving skills. While a new app would fit the bill,
the project could be anything from an origami design to a potato cannon.
1
、
Which of the apps give students more guidance from their high school?
A
．
ZEEMEE. B
．
THE COALITION LOCKER.
C
．
VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWS. D
．
UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLS.
2
、
What does the underlined word “it” in the fourth part of the passage refer to?
A
．
The video interview. B
．
The description.
C
．
The application. D
．
The student’s ability.
3
、
What is the common feature required by colleges and universities according to the passage?
A
．
Creativity. B
．
Braveness.
C
．
Willingness to share. D
．

Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best loved and
（
8
分）
most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They
enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.
In 1954, life magazine published(
刊登
) a report about school children who could not read. The report
said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided
to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish
and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.
In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a
six- year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents
loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him

want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is
called Green Eggs and Ham.
In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (
普利策奖
). He was honored for the education and enjoyment
his books provided American children and their parents.
He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide.
People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by
people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said
，
“I do not write for children. I write for people.”

Every living thing on Earth is either a plant or an animal, right? Wrong! Many organisms
(
有机体
) in our world are neither. Some of them float through the air, and some lie hidden in the ground.
They do not need sunlight to survive, and if the weather becomes too cold, they can become inactive until
conditions improve.
What are these? They are called fungi (
菌类
), and you see them almost every day. Many kinds of fungi
seem disgusting, such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the
refrigerator. But other kinds are not so bad. For example, the yeast (
酵母
) that is used to make bread and
mushrooms are both fungi.
What makes fungi different from plants and animals? An animal can move around by itself. Fungi get
around too, but they don’t have feet, wings, or tails. They have to wait for wind or some other outside force

to move them. Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll (
叶绿素
). It helps them make
food from the energy in sunlight. Fungi do not have chlorophyll.
Some fungi are bad, while others are not. Some fungi cause diseases, such as athlete’s foot, which
makes feet uncomfortable. Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines, which have saved many
lives.
Fungi clean up more than wounds, though. They are the world’s first recyclers. Without fungi, our
world would be a mess. Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do, they must get their food
elsewhere. Many fungi get their food from dead plants. They break them down and turn them into soil. The
fungi get a meal, and the world gets a housecleaning.
1
、
What does the underlined word “disgusting” most probably mean?
A
．
strong. B
．
unpleasant.
C
．
active. D
．
small.
2
、
According to the passage, .
A
．
fungi can move everywhere by themselves
B
．
fungi are unable to survive in cold conditions
C
．
some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight
D
．
some fungi are useful to humans and the environment

beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It developed through thee
observation of the sun’s annual movement in China. In ancient time, the method of tugui, earth sundial(
日
暑
), was used to measure the shadow of the sun for determining the solar terms.
The Twenty-Four Solar Terms came into being and developed in close relationship with Chinese
agricultural production. At the initial
（最初的）
stage of agricultural development, people began to explore
the seasonal rules in the agricultural production to meet the needs in seeding, harvesting and other
activities. Gradually, they formed the concept of “seed in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn and
store in winter”. During the spring and autumn periods, the agricultural production was highly influenced
by the seasonal changes, thus forming the concept of Solar Terms.
As a traditional Chinese knowledge system of time with a history of thousands of years, the
Twenty- Four Solar Terms clearly expresses the concepts of respect for nature, and harmony between man
and nature. Created by Chinese ancestors, it has functioned as a complete set of weather calendar(
日历
) to
guide the agricultural production in China. It has also been introduced into North Korea, Japan and other
neighboring countries and still used in Japan. The Chinese heritage has provably influenced the people’s
way of thinking and behaving and will continue to be an important carrier of Chinese cultural identity.

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other 26 ,
including her “sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression that she’s 27 anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, 28 that she doesn’t push too hard
on them, 29 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she
moves around so fast that 30 often don't realize she's blind.
I 31 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, ayla, went to play there. When ayla came
home, she was very 32 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art
projects. But she was 33 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said ayla, all smiles. “I learned how to 34 colors today! Blue and red make
purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle 35 with us”.
To my great 36 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then ayla continued,
“Michelle told me my 37 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really 38 what I was
doing!” ayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt 39 Michelle showed her how to
paint without looking at her paper.

B. more than; smarter
D. no more than; more clever

I realized ayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never 40 in conversation. When I
told my daughter that Michelle was blind, she was 41 for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me.
“But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” ayla 42 . And I knew my child was 43
because Michelle had listened to ayla describe her art work. Michelle had also heard ayla’s 44 in her
work.
We were silent for a minute. Then ayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my
picture. She just used my 45 .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B.、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old
twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002. On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had

a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2002, Alfred received a
19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
“I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to
respect him,” Alfred said with a big smile, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters,
who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics(基因) might have played a role in their condition, they recognized
that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of
butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not
dieting properly.”
The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been
on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a
couple of miles. He was still on medication, but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early
stage of his recovery.
“Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well,” Anthony said. “I feel like a new person.”
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, “I love my brother
very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.”
46. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A. Exercise programs.
C. A sense of humor.


B. Education background.
D. Love for bicycling.
47. Alfred said he was younger than Anthony because _______.
A. he had a more successful heart transplant
B. he recovered faster from the transplant
C. he was born 15 minutes earlier than Anthony
D. his new heart was younger than Anthony’s
48. This article is mainly about _______.
A. the danger of heart transplanting
B. becoming young by getting a new heart
C. the effect of genetics on the heart
D. the twin brothers who received heart transplants
49. What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?
A. Exercise. B. Diet. C. Laziness. D. Medicines.
50. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. His heart problem. B. His new heart.

C. The attention he received. D. The food that tasted good.
B
Once I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their
speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus, on
one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the
room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. In front of each easy chair there was a
microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. I explained that
all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.
I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn seriously counted from one to twenty in their best accent.
When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks, and for the rest of the
evening there was general cheerful conversation—interrupted only by the fact that I had to take a
telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.
Or at least that was how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the
tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the
kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the
microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving
excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of
conversation as it would be possible to find.
I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over,
and gave them the choice of destroying the tape. None of them wanted to—though for some years
afterwards it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. Linguistic research can
be a very expensive business.
51. The writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because _______.
A. he wanted to record the numbers for his research
B. he wanted to find out whether the tape recorder was working
C. he wanted to make his friends relax before real recording started
D. he wanted his friends to think that was all he wanted to record
52. Which of the following words can best describe the recording which the linguist managed to make?

A. get a natural recording of his friends’ conversation
B. stay away from too much drinking with his friends
C. bring a telephone into the front room
D. answer a long distance phone call
54. The writer turned off the tape-recorder because _______.
A. he had to answer a phone call
B. he wanted his friends to enjoy some drinks
C. he thought the tape-recorder might bother his friends
D. he wanted to make his friends believe he had finished the recording
55. The writer sounds _______ in telling the story.
A. serious B. humorous
C
C. honest D. excited

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came
out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she
told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across
the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head.
Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next
afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my
right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow(肘). Day after day we practiced, and she praised
me for every rung(横档)I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; I looked down at the
kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my
room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those
boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.
Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.
56. Which can be used to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?
A. Cruel. B. Favorable. C. Strict. D. Sympathetic.
57. When the author looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because_______.
A. they felt sorry for what they had done before
B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt
C. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars
D. they were astonished to find the author’s progress
58. What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply?
A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.
B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.
C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.
D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.
59. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______.
A. the strength and skill to hang and sway
B. the speed of one’s hand movement

C. the skill to throw and catch things
D. the bodily skill to circle round a bar

60. The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______.
A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep
B. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own
C. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph
D. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth
D
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with
commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen
whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard (广告牌) goes by outside the bus
window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas”. Only if
you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you free from the unending cry of “You Need
It! Buy It Now!”
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way
before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus
driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is
particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense (悬疑) story. Will the
driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of
course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always
makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty
food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of
expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now
you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rest even with
your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
61. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A. Buses on the road. B. Films on television.
D. Gas stations. C. Advertisements on the billboards.
62. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.
B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

D. To describe the billboards along the road.
63. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ____________.
A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
D. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting
64. The writer of this passage would probably prefer ______________.
A. bus drivers who are reckless
C. a television set on the bus
B. driving alone
D. no billboards along the road
65. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _________.
A. exciting B. comfortable

A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do
something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have
finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to
flower.
A biodegradable (生物所能分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped
that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and
can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without
giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover
that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed
the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it
only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we
are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in
next time,” said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This
means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones
have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal
and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according
to the scientists.
“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the
C. tiring D. boring

phone when you have finished using it,” said erry ieran. She leads the research team, which is based at the
University of Warwick in Britain.
66. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.
B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.
C. To discuss the development of phone technology.
D. To introduce an environmentally-friendly cell phone to readers.
67. It could be learned from the passage that _________.
A. developing the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environment
B. phone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phone
C. the new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the world
D. the phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now
68. People throw away their cell phones most probably because _______.
A. there is something wrong with them
B. no sunflowers can grow out of them
C. they are out of fashion
D. they are becoming cheaper and cheaper
69. What might be the best title for this passage?
A. Sunflower and Phone

B. Plant Your Phone
D. No Worry about Phone C. Protect Our Environment
70. Where can we probably find the passage above?
A. In a novel B. In a magazine C. In a textbook

day to find water. Some even die from drinking bad water in some developing countries, his teacher says. So
Ryan decided to act. He spoke to schools, churches, and clubs about his goal. The word spread, and
donations began coming in. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $$2,000, enough to dig one
well. An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief chose a location for the well in the
village of Agweo in Africa.

Hi Sonia,
The first thing I want to tell you is that you are not alone. Millions of other students have felt this way
and many thousands feel this way right now.
Since you already know your grades are important, you should understand what you are doing right
now will have a large influence on how well you will do next year. So think about what you want to do with
your future and try to make your dream come true. That’s the long-term reward which may help to give
you the push to study hard now.
That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t have some fun now. You still have your weekends and
sometime after school. Then the answer is to plan your days. Make a timetable for each day that shows you
what time you must use for school and what time you can have for relaxation. Things like playing outdoor
games, watching videos or chatting with your friends can surely make you feel refreshed.

The school year won’t last forever, my friend, and you will be out there in the sunshine before you
know it.
Good luck and please let me know what happens.
Yours,
Peter

What is the most important day of your life? For many people the answer is your Wedding Day—the
day when you marry another person and promise to live together as husband and wife for the rest of your
lives.
Wedding celebrations differ from country to country—in China the bride wears red while in India the
wedding continues for three days. However, in Britain the bride wears white and wedding usually only lasts
for one day.
In the U it is possible to get married in a religious or civil ceremony. A religious ceremony takes place
in a church. A civil ceremony, on the other hand, can be held in an office, in a hotel, or even on a boat.
On the day of the wedding the bride and groom are kept separate until the ceremony. It is said to be
bad luck if the groom sees the bride in her dress before the wedding. The bride arrives at the ceremony
accompanied by her father and bridesmaids. They officially give her away to her new husband. During the
ceremony the happy couple exchange vows and give each other wedding rings which they will wear forever.
At the end of the ceremony they kiss.
Afterwards they go outside where friends and family throw rice or color papers over them and then
they go on to the reception where there is a lot of food and drink. After the meal the father of the bride and
the best man make speeches. Then the bride and groom take the first dance. It is a lot of fun. Finally, at the
end of the party the newly-weds leave to go on honeymoon, usually to a very romantic destination.
24. What function is the first two paragraphs?
A .To tell us that we have most important day in our life.

B. To tell us Wedding day is the day when you marry another person and promise to live together.


C. To tell us that people hold wedding.

25. What does the underlined word ‘newly-weds' (Para 5) mean?
A. The bridegroom.

B. The bride.
D. The best man.

C. The newly-married couple.
26. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People all over the world pay a great deal attention to Wedding Day.
B. In Britain the bride wears white.
C. Wedding celebrations differ from country to country.
D. In India the wedding can continue for three days.
27. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Humans have launched themselves into the outer space. They've landed on the moon. They've built
habitable space stations that orbit the Earth. The next giant leap for mankind is to reach another planet–
specifically, Mars.
The problem is that it's no easy task. The planet is 586 times further away from the Earth than the
moon, and it'll take around 180 to 220 days to reach Mars, depending on where each planet is in its orbit.
Such long periods in space have suggested many potential health problems, including hormonal changes,
skin conditions, and muscle and bone deterioration (损耗).
Here's where some furry friends come in. A wide range of animals have been in space, from fruit flies
and spiders to cats, and dogs. Such experiments began as far back as the late 1940s in first tests to see if
living things could withstand the extreme g-force (重力) of a rocket launch.
Mice continue to play a very important part in space experiments, mainly because the animals make
excellent test subjects. They're small, which makes them inexpensive and easy to care for. In addition, their
size and short life span make it possible to do the equivalent of several human years of tests in a much
shorter time. Finally, because mice are mammals, they share many common characteristics with humans in

terms of genetics, biology and behavior.
Astromice have hit the headlines recently, as a team of scientists led by Betty Nusgens, professor of
biology at the University of Liege in Belgium, found that the mice suffered a 15 percent thinning of their
skin after 91 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
This experiment was part of a wider NASA mission (任务) called the Mice Drawer System (MDS). The
Italian Space Agency developed the facility, which allows six mice to be housed, monitored, and
automatically fed and watered aboard the ISS, among which three survived during the mission.
The mice have participated in 20 separate experiments, to study such effects as osteoporosis (骨质疏松
症), anemia (贫血) and heart health.
Results for the 20 experiments are coming in gradually. But it's clear that mice continue to play an
important role in the ongoing quest to conquer the final frontier.
can infer from Paragraphs 2-3 that ______.
A. Mars is the farthest planet away from Earth discovered so far
B. animals that have been sent into space have mostly survived
C. it was in the late 1940s that animals were first sent to the ISS
D. he journey to Mars could put humans' health at risk
underlined word
A. set up
C. work out
B. hold up
D. come across
ing to Betty Nusgens and her team, the mice aboard the ISS ______.
A. suffered the loss of part of their skin
B. all survived for the duration of the mission
C. were fed and watered by the astronauts
D. participated in 20 experiments that made great breakthroughs
main purpose of the article is to _____.
A. describe the role mice play in scientific research
B. report on the results of the Mice Drawer System
C. analyze how mice could pave the way to Mars
D. change people's traditional attitudes toward mice

WELLINGTON, New ealand (AP) ---- About 140 pilot whales that stranded(使...搁浅) themselves on a

remote stretch of New ealand beach have died, but conservation workers and volunteers are hoping the
remaining 60 or so will survive after they managed to get them refloated, an official said Saturday.
The geography of Farewell Spit on the South Island seems to work against whales, which regularly
become stranded there. The stranding of 198 whales on Friday was one of the largest in recent years and
inspired 80 workers and volunteers to help out.
By late Saturday, 140 of the whales had died, said Department of Conservation area manager Andrew
Lamason.
He said the workers and volunteers worked throughout the day to keep the surviving whales watered
and covered before refloating them during Saturday night's high tide.

country,
He said the surviving whales had moved to deeper water. But he cautioned that although hopes for
their survival were high, whales had been refloated in the past only to return and get stranded again.
Lamason said the scale(规模) of the stranding has been tough on the helpers, both physically and
mentally.

The focus will now turn to the dead whales, and the enormous task of dealing with the remains,
Lamason said, adding that in the past helpers have typically buried them in the sand, but that he's not sure
what the approach will be this time.
He said the department had been experimenting with moving the the dead whales into the water, which
has the advantage of providing food for other sea creatures.
did the volunteers have to wait until Saturday before they could refloat the whales?
A. Because they were very busy on Friday.
B. Because they had to wait for the sea water to rise.
C. Because the whales were too intelligent.
D. Because the whales were buried deep in the sand.
of the following words can be used to describe Lamason's attitude towards the result of refloating
the whales?
A. Doubtful.
C. Positive.


B. Optimistic.
D. Careless.
did Lamason say about the feelings of the workers and volunteers?
A. They were very happy to see so many whales.
B. They thought refloating the whales was not a hard job.

C. They were physically tired and emotionally hurt.
D. They believed that this is very natural.
will the volunteers deal with the dead whales this time according to Lamason?
A. They will bury them in the sand.
B. They will throw them into the ocean.
C. They will feed them to other sea creatures.

Nowadays more and more children chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. 36
Some are shy
people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or
arguments. 37 But there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or
illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
38 Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites
and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding
them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
39 So it's likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it
comes to the latest gadgets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which
are especially strange. 40 Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as atb—all the best, bbfn
—bye bye for now, gr8—great, Idk—I don't know, kit—keep in touch, paw—parents are watching, lol—
laugh out loud. It seems like another language, and it is!

Women are playing a much important part in society than before. Now women are working as teachers,

Women are no longer looked down in society. As the changes in their social role, women's position in the

书面表达
Recently I find that some classmates lead an unhealthy life, such as staying up late and
not eating breakfast. Although we are under great pressure, it is necessary for us to live a

healthy life. The following are some useful tips.
First, it’s important that we have a balanced diet and enjoy breakfast every day, because
we consume much energy while studying. Second, taking exercise regularly is of equal importance,
which can help us to keep fit and release stress. More importantly, we should develop a positive
attitude, which allows us to look at things positively no matter what happens.
In a word, proper food, regular exercise and a positive attitude can be beneficial to us
during this bitter but sweet year.

How Do You See Diversity?
As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions
with her company. During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye
contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.
He had a perfect résumé and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never
looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.
“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed
over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the
interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural
misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in
authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.
“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany
says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”
Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world
becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our
understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.
Hire Advantage
At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate
invalid biases (偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps
organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with
illustrates the positive difference such training can make.
“During my Mindsets coaching session, I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce.
I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their
full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate market began to
change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to say in the real estate
market much longer than others in the same profession.”
Blinded by Gender
Dale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse
workforce. “Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias,” he recalls. “I learned
I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.” In his
case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.
“I had a management position open in my department; and the two finalists were a man and
a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the
best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My reasoning would
have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the
position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel.”

Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that
limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce.
“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation,
I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates
and allow them to make an informed decision.” Dale credits the workshop, “because it helped
me make decisions based on fairness.”
Year of the now-It-All
Doug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops. He recalls a major lesson learned
from his own employee.
“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese- American employee put in a
request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year. In my ignorance, I assumed he had his
dates wrong’, as the first of January had just passed. When I advised him of this, I gave him
a tong talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates.
“He patiently waited, then when I was done, he said he would like Chinese New Year off,
not the Western New Year. He explained politely that in his culture the new year did not begin
January first, and that Chinese New Year, which is tied to the lunar cycle, is one of the most
celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar. Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed in assuming
he had his dates mixed up. But I learned a great deal about assumptions, and that the timing
of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture.
“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking
questions and creating dialogues with toy employees, rather than making assumptions and trying
to be a know-it-all,” Doug admits. “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning
how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.”
A Better Bottom Line
An open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally, it is profitable
as well. These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude
can improve sales. “Most of my customers speak English as a second language. One of the best
things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over
the phone. It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand
how important inclusiveness was to customer service. As a result, our customer base has
increased.”
Once we start to see people as individuals, and discard the stereotypes, we can move
positively toward inclusiveness for everyone. Diversity is about coming together and taking
advantage of our differences and similarities. It is about building better communities and
organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity.
When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from
our past, from the media, peers, family, friends, etc., we begin to realize that some of our
conclusions are flawed (有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values. We need to train

ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for
all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone.

That’s enough, kids
It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two
children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to
the ground.
“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he’d shoved,”
she says.” I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ’No,
we don’t push,” What happened next was unexpected.
“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says,” I thought she was
coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child,
All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her
kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?”
Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people’s
children has become a minefield.

In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister’s house it’s encouraged.
For her, it’s about kids being kids”If you can’t do it at three, when can you do it?”
Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt’s
house. But I find myself saying “no” a lot when her kids are over at mine. That’s O between
sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you’re talking to the children of friends or
acquaintances.
“ids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University.”
But there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent. We see our children as an
extension of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then
that’s somehow a criticism of me.”
In those circumstances, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or
the parent first. There are two schools of thought.
“I’d go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky ids. Usually a quiet
reminder that ’we don’t do that here’ is enough. ids nave finely tuned antennae (直觉) for
how to behave in different settings.”
He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, which
could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.
This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first. Raise your concerns with
the parents if they’re there and ask them to deal with it,” she says.
Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller
answers”Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Preface your
remarks with something like ’I know you’ll think I’m silly but in my house I don’t want…’”
When it comes to situations where you’re caring for another child, white is straightforward
“common sense must prevail. If things don’t go well, then have a chat.”
There’re a couple of new grey areas. Physical punishment, once accepted from any adult,
is no longer appropriate. “A new set of considerations has come to the fore as part of the debate
about how we handle children.”
For Andrew Fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone” The rules
are different now from when today’s parents were growing up,” he says, “Adults are scared
of saying ’don’t swear’, or asking a child to stand up on a bus. They’re worried that there
will be conflict if they point these things out – either from older children, or their parents.”
He sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy (礼貌), and
says that adults suffer form it as much as child.

Meredith Fuller agrees “A code of conduct is hard to create when you’re living in a world
in which everyone is exhausted from overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people
are perceived to finish last.”
“it’s about what I’m doing and what I need,” Andrew Fuller says. ”the days when a kid
came home from school and said, “I got into trouble”. And dad said, ‘you probably deserved
it’. Are over. Now the parents are charging up to the school to have a go at teachers.”
This jumping to our children’s defense is part of what fuels the “walking on eggshells”
feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people’s children. You know that if you
remonstrate(劝诫) with the child, you’re going to have to deal with the parent. it’s admirable
to be protective of our kids, but is it good?
“Children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable boundaries,”
White says. “I suspect that it’s only certain sectors of the population doing the running to
the school –better –educated parents are probably more likely to be too involved.”
White believes our notions of a more child-centred, it’s a way of talking about treating
our children like commodities(商品). We’re centred on them but in ways that reflect positively
on us. We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud
of, rather than serve the best interests of the children.”
One way over- worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap
to their defence. Back at the park, Bianchi’s intervention(干预) on her son’s behalf ended
in an undignified exchange of insulting words with the other boy’s mother.
As Bianchi approached the park bench where she’d been sitting, other mums came up to her
and congratulated her on taking a stand. “Apparently the boy had a longstanding reputation for
bad behaviour and his mum for even worse behaviour if he was challenged.”
Andrew Fuller doesn’t believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s
kids. “look at kids that aren’t your own as a potential minefield,” he says. He recommends
that we don’t stay silent over inappropriate behaviour, particularly with regular visitors.
32. What did Stella Bianchi expect the young boy’s mother to do when she talked to him?
A. make an apology
B. come over to intervene
C. discipline her own boy
D. take her own boy away
33. Due to the child-centric nature of our society,
A. parents are worried when their kids swear at them

B. people think it improper to criticiids in public
C. people are reluctant to point our kids’ wrongdoings
D. many conflicts arise between parents and their kids
34. In a world where everyone is exhausted from over work and lack of sleep, .
A. it’s easy for people to become impatient
B. it’s difficult to create a code of conduct
C. it’s important to be friendly to everybody
D. it’s hard for people to admire each other
35. How did people use to respond when their kids got into trouble at school?
A. they’d question the teachers
B. they’d charge up to the school
C. they’d tell the kids to clam down
D. They’d put the blame on their kids

36 Shenzhou 1 lifted off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on November 20, 1999.
Shenzhou 1 successfully landed in central Inner Mongolia after 21 hours in orbit, finishing its
first flight. This successful flight laid a solid foundation for Chinese manned Spaceflight.
Since then, Shenzhou 2—5 were successfully launched.
Shenzhou 6 was successfully launched at 900 a.m. on October 12, 2005. It carried two
astronauts for five days and safely returned to Earth at dawn on October 16, 2005, making China’s
manned space technology more mature. 37
Shenzhou 7 was launched on September 25, 2008, and successfully put three taikonauts(太
空人) into space. 38 That means China’s first step into space. During this mission, shenzhou
7 also sent a small satellite into space. Shenzhou 7 safely landed on earth on September 28,
which means the whole mission was completely successful. 39 It was also the third milestone
in the history of manned spaceflight in China.
Tiangong 1 lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 916 p.m. on September 30,
2011 as planned. 40 An unmanned spaceship will be launched in November to join together in
space with Tiangong 1. Two more missions are scheduled for next year and astronauts will board
Tiangong 1, which can also function as a space lab in the future space station. If the mission
succeeds, China will become the third country to master spacecraft rendezvous and docking(太
空站) technology following the then Soviet Union and the United States, experts said.

A. Gas and liquid are unable to mix on Earth, but in space they mix naturally.
B. It was an announcement to the world that China had grasped the key technology in
spacewalking.
C. The purpose of China’s manned space station is to peacefully explore space, and through
it, serve mankind.
D. China’s manned spaceflight program was officially approved in 1992.
E. One of them, two days later, made a monumental spacewalking.
F. The launch paves the way for China’s first space station mission.
G. It was the first time for China to have men engage in scientific experiments in space.

An adult giraffe's head is about six feet above its heart. This means that to 41 enough blood
up to the brain the circulatory 42 must be strong enough to keep the blood at very high pressure.
Biologists have known for some time that giraffes solve this problem by having 43 high blood
pressure, about 44 that of human beings. But an international team of biologists began to 45
about this. If giraffes have such high blood pressure, they should have a 46 problem with swelling
in their legs and feet. Why don't giraffes have swollen feet?
Giraffes should have 47 problem, too. Every time they bend heads 48 to drink, the blood
should 49 to their heads and have a hard time 50 back up (when the head is down) to the heart.
How come giraffes don't black out when they drink?
The answer to the 51 feet problem, the researchers found, is that giraffes have 52 the
researchers call a
legs and feet are 55 stiffer and tougher than those of other 56 . As a result, the blood vessels
in the leg cannot swell.
Therefore, the blood has nowhere to go but back to the heart. What about blood rushing to
the head 57 the giraffe bends down to drink? The researchers found that the giraffe's jugular
vein, which 58 blood from the head back to the heart, has lots of one-way valves in it. In the
giraffe's neck, there are lots of muscles that flex and relax repeatedly as the animal moves
its head and sucks 59 drinking water. By squeezing the valved jugular vein, they 60 blood moving
back to the heart even while the animal is drinking.
