exam at the age of five, becoming the youngest
computer
specialist in the world.

him, the next day he would remember everything I
said,
so I started to feed him more
information,” Mr. Qureshi explained.
Ayan now
has his own computer lab at home, containing a
computer network which
he built by himself. He
spends around two hours a day leaning about the
operating
system and how to install programs.
Ayan says he hops to launch a U.K. –based IT
center similar to America’s Silicon
Valley one
day, which he intends to call E-Valley. He also
wants to start his own
IT company.
Ayan’s
mother is very happy and very proud of her son. “I
don’t want to see
him set a world record every
day. But I want him to do his best whatever he
does
in his life,” she said

The Guinness Book of World Records. This year it
will
celebrate its 60 anniversary.
The
Guinness Book of World Records is a reference
book, it is one of the most
widely read books
ever published. More than 100 million copies have
been sold in
almost 40 languages. A new
edition is published every year.
The Guinness
Book of World Records was first published in
August 1955 in Britain.
The idea came from Sir
Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the
Guinness
Breweries. He could not find the
answer to what seemed like a simple from any
books:
what is the Europe’s fastest game bird?
At that time, Beaver decided to create a
book
with facts numbers. In 1955, the first record book
was born!
There are many kinds of records,
like the most beautiful tattoo, the longest hair,
the fastest talker, the biggest hand, etc.
some records appear in almost every
edition of
the book, like the tallest and shortest people,
the oldest man and woman
in the world.
However, as much as 80 percent of the content is
new each year.
Since its first publication,
the book itself holds a world record, as the
best-selling book of all time. The new edition
will be published in 20 languages
and sold in
100 countries.

work.
B. He intended to provide readers
with some references.

Plastic bags
haven’t always been Public Enemy No. 1 .
Introduced in 1982, they
soon occupied the
grocery bag marker. By 1996, 80 percent of all
bags were made from
lightweight plastics.
Customers loved them. They became thinner, lighter
and able
to contain more materials
conveniently.
That restricting the
distribution of plastic bags will have significant
environmental benefits and reduce cost is
mostly untrue. Banning plastic bags won’t
3
bags are found to be a tiny part
of all litter, so banning them has very little
impact
on the amount of litter generated.
There’s no evidence that banning plastic bags
has reduced litter removal costs, and it won’t
do much in the way of reducing trash
collection costs, either.
In the sea, the
impact may be even smaller. Plastic bags have not
caused a giant
landfill(废弃物填埋场). Sure,
plastics in the oceans have increased over the
past
four decades. Yet the idea that this has
resulted in a big landfill at is contradicted
by the evidence, which shows that most
plastics in the oceans are widely
dispersed(分
散)and in the form of tiny pieces.
Surveys suggest that most people reuse their
lightweight plastic bags, mainly
for trash
disposal, and on average each one is used 1.6
times, By contrast, paper
bags are typically
used only once. The thicker plastic bags now being
promoted as
“ reusable”, are typically used
about 3.1 times.
It is unwise to introduce
restrictions on the distribution of plastic bags,
which
is likely to result in an increase in
the overall environmental impact of the bags
we use to shop, not to mention that reusable
bags are kind of disgusting, from the
public
health perspective. Putting food into bags that
have previously been used
to carry
perishable(易腐烂的) items may cause a health risk.
29. The reason why plastic bags are popular
with customers is that .
A. they are easy
to carry
B. they are the only choice.
C. they are cheap and affordable
D. they
are available in groceries.
30. Why does the
author say banning plastic bags makes no
difference to the quantity
of litter?
A. Because plastic bags take up a small part of
the whole litter.
B. Because banning
plastic bags has increased litter removal costs.
C. Because the banning plastic bags won’t
necessarily make litter disappear.
D.
Because the banning of plastic bags hasn’t any
environmental benefits.
31. The underlined
part in Paragraph 3 implies that.
4
A. most of the plastics can be well
recycled at sea
B. whether plastics gather
at sea is controversial
C. actually
plastics don’t lend to large landfills at sea
D. no evidence shows that plastics harm the sea.
32. What is the author’s attitude towards the
use of plastic bags?
A. Tolerant B.
Doubtful C. Critical D. Supportive

Winder Castle is the largest inhabited
castle in the world, and has a history
of over
900 years. It is one of the Queen’s three official
residences (住宅), and
is often said to be her
favorite. The Royal Standard flies over the Round
Tower of
Windsor Castle when the Queen is in
residence, at other times the Union Jack flag
files in its place.
Windsor Castle was
first built by William the Conqueror after he
invaded England
in 1066. The original
structure was built from wood with earth
fortifications (防
御工事). The Castle held an
obvious strategic position on a steep hill
overlooking
the River Thames, and was part of
a ring of castles around London, with the Tower
of London at its heart. The Castle was later
rebuilt in stone and grew in importance
over
the years. Henry II constructed the Round Tower
and the original stone outer
wall. Following
the English Civil War, the Castle became a royal
place. The Castle
has remained largely
unchanged since the early nineteenth century.
Windsor Castle is more than 12 acres in area, and
it takes about two hours to
visit. The Castle
is open every day except Garter Day (one day in
June every year),
Easter, Christmas, and over
or two other days during the year. Opening times
and
access may be restricted at certain times
of the year due to state functions.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
According to one definition, the word “supplement”
means “something added
to complete a thing, to
extend or strengthen the whole.”
Supplements
can be very beneficial but you must be careful
because, like any
drug, all supplements pose
potential risks. __36___
__37___ Many, if
not all, supplements have the potential to
interact with
prescription or over-the-counter
drugs, cause harmful side effects if taken
inappropriately, or even make existing medical
conditions worse. __38__In a study
of
University of Michigan one-third of the patients
taking supplements were using
ones that could
interact with their heart medications. Be
especially cautious if
you’re taking the
blood-thinning medication like aspirin, many
supplements, such
as garlic, vitamin E and
fish oil, also have blood-thinning properties, and
the
combined effect could lead to dangerous
bleeding.
6
Also, the label
may say “natural” but that doesn’t mean the
supplements are
any safer than medicinal
drugs. They still include chemicals that have a
bad impact
on your body; that’s why they work.
___39___ If you are pregnant, be doubly sure
to check with your doctor before
taking any
supplements.
In the next few years you’re
bound to hear more and more about natural
alternatives for protecting the heart. But
before you jump on any bandwagons, take
heed:
__40___ The fact is that scientists will probably
never be able to duplicate
the complex effects
and many health benefits of foods like fruits,
vegetables, and
whole grains with a pill. And
of course, lowering your cholesterol with
supplements
while eating steak and ice cream
with abandon, or taking hawthorn to lower your
blood
pressure while doing nothing to relieve
the stress caused by your nerve-racking job,
won’t do your heart much good in the end.
A. No supplement is a substitute for the
lifestyle changes, particularly good eating
habits.
B. A supplement may be natural but
that doesn’t mean taking it is completely without
risk.
C. The more supplements you take,
the less healthy you will be.
D. So don’t take
any supplement longer than that is advised.
E.
That’s why it’s critical that you tell your health
care providers about any
supplements you take.
F. Doctors are always right, especially when
you fall ill.
G. Before you start taking any,
check with your doctor first.

完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项
（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处
的最佳选项。
Why do we need
inspiration? The answer is purely psychological.
According to
a magazine on 41 , by the time
a child reaches the age of 18, the concept of “
No,
you can’t !” has been strengthened 187 000
times, 42 the concept of “Yes, you,
7
can!” has been strengthened 43 about
25-30 times.
With this in mind, it is no 44
that so many people grow up to be failures or
less than successful. Today’s society 45 us
this way. We simply do not believe we
can win.
Personally, I was 46 . While I grew up, my
parents, teachers and classmates
gave me tons
of inspiration and 47 … to pursue my creative
abilities in both music
and art. My wife
taught in public school for over three decades, 48
my skill sand
knowledge to develop. Although
we are by no 49 financially independent, by
working
at home and being 50 to our three
children, I feel extremely successful in my
quality of life.
I have always believed
“true living” is 51 each day to work at what you
love
to do more than 52 else in the world.
But, most people become programmed –work
hard
and make a living whether you 53 doing the work
or not –perhaps at the 54
of life.
In
order to be truly 55 financially, emotionally
and spiritually, you’ve got
to be filled with
56 for what you are doing. Talent is a gift, but
it must first
be 57 , then developed.
Once this passion grows into a highly trained
skill, you will become an extremely
knowledgeable and a highly 58 specialist.
To identify your talent(s) , you must first
search for your major 59 . When
you find
something you truly love doing, study and training
seem 60 .

At the beginning of my summer
vacation, we attended a short-term English course,
practicing listening and spoke there. Then I
act as a tour guider for some of my
foreign
friends which came to Beijing for their holiday.
We had a good view of rapidly
changing city. I
showed them around some places of interests, such
as the Forbidden
City, the Great Wall and the
Summer Palace. We also tasted some more
traditional
snacks and enjoyed Beijing opera.
Both of us had a very good time. I not only
introduced our culture and custom for
foreigners but also improved my English. What
a colorfully and meaningful summer holiday!
