With half an inch of rain falling every year, humans can hardly survive there for a week with no water. But the Namib beetle (甲虫) does just fin
44、e. It collects morning dew (露水) that condenses (凝结) on its back.Inspired by this little creature, 27-year-old Edward Linacre, a former student from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, has designed a new “Airdrop” irrigation system which can pull water from even the driest des
45、ert air. His invention has won the 2011 James Dyson Award, an international design award. Hopes are high that the system will be able to solve the problems of growing plants on dry land, according to the Daily Mail.Linacre studied the Namib beetle and found that it had hydrophilic (吸水的) skin on its
46、back, which helped catch water molecules (分子) passing in the air. These water molecules accumulated into small drops of liquid water. He realized that as long as the air temperature was low enough, even the driest air contains water molecules that can be extracted (提取).Following this principle, he d
47、esigned the new system which works by pumping air through a network of underground pipes to cool it to the point at which water condenses. The water is then delivered directly to the roots of plants.According to the research, about 11.5 milliliters of water could be collected from every cubic (立方) m
48、eter of air in the driest desert. Further development could raise that number even higher.The idea of getting water from the air is not new. However, the Airdrop has certain advantages compared with its competitors. Similar systems often require great amounts of energy because they use refrigeration
49、 (冷却) equipment to lower the temperature. But Airdrop simply uses the temperature difference between the air and the cool earth underground.This clever biomimicry (仿生学) system could provide regular watering to plants being grown in the worlds driest places. “Biomimicry is a powerful weapon in an eng
50、ineers armory (军械库),” said James Dyson. “Airdrop shows how simple, natural principles like the condensation of water can be applied to good effect through skilled design and robust (强健的) engineering.”48. What is the article mainly about?A. How the Namib beetle survives in the Namib Desert.B. How the
51、 “Airdrop” irrigation system was designed and how it works.C. How the “Airdrop” irrigation system has benefited the humans.D. How biomimicry helps researchers in scientific research.49. According to the article, the “Airdrop” irrigation system .A. was inspired by the Namib beetle B. is practical onl
52、y in very cold regionsC. has been used to help plants grow on dry land D. works by pumping cold air directly to the roots of plants50. By saying “Biomimicry is a powerful weapon in an engineers armory”, James Dyson meansthat .A. biomimicry can help engineers invent powerful weaponsB. biomimicry can
53、offer engineers a lot of inspiration for new inventionsC. biomimicry is the most promising field for engineers to exploreD. some simple and natural principles are easily ignored by engineers四、单词拼写 （共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）51.

91、 the past ten years. FAO officials say the world has lost about 1,000 kinds of farm animals because of humans development in the past century. The officials say many other animals are still in danger. They warn that one-third of them are at the risk of disappearing. About two billion people depend a
92、t least partly on farm animals to earn money. That is around one third of the world population. FAO officials are concerned about farmers producing enough to feed the worlds growing population. They warn that meat, milk and egg production will need to be increased by more than two times during the n
93、ext twenty years. FAO officials have gathered information about more than 4,000 kinds of bird and animal populations. 740 of those animals no longer exist. More than 1,300 other animals are said to be endangered or at the high risk of extinction(灭绝). Many of them are very important farm animals. For
94、 example, in Madagascar, Renitelo cattle have almost disappeared. In the Philippines, the Banaba chicken is now rare. The report warns that more than 2,000 other animals could disappear within the next twenty years unless action is taken. It says that the greatest threat （威胁） is the export of animal
95、s from industrial countries to developing ones. This can lead to replacement of some native animals. As a matter of fact, animals from industrial nations often are considered more productive in developing countries. However, these animals are best for the environment of the areas they come from. The
96、y may have a difficult time surviving under extreme conditions. The FAO says having different kinds of animals is a way to protect against loss of animals from bad weather conditions or the spread of diseases. The UN agency is starting a five-year project to help countries better understand the issu
97、e.36. What can we learn from the FAOs findings?A. Human activities have a great influence on animals.B. About 1,000 farm animals are out of control now.C. 170 nations should be responsible for extinct animals.D. Agriculture cant develop well because many animals are in danger.37. What will happen if
98、 animals continue disappearing?A. More and more people will starve.B. Some people will lack economic resources.C. Farm animals will be peoples enemies.D. A large population will lose their jobs.38. What does the export of animals bring about?A. Exported animals provide productive foods.B. Exported a
99、nimals create chances for industry.C. Exported animals die from bad conditions.D. Exported animals might leave no space for native ones.39. The text is written mainly _.A. to let people know how to raise native animals B. to call on people to protect exported animalsC. to discover the reasons why an
100、imals disappearD. to show people the seriousness of animal extinctionBBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco-friendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby. A rain garden is not very different fro
101、m a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco-friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the pub
102、lic drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain
103、garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco-friendly “green” way to treat storm water. Whats more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in
104、 the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%. Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden im
105、mediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once the native plants establish the necessary root system, it will require little care. Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public par
106、ks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you dont need to be a professional environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as youre eco-conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.40. Which of the foll
107、owing is the eco-friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4?A. They can keep the rain and storm water.B. They can help reduce the pollution problem. C. They can be healthy for the people around. D. They can make the environment more beautiful.41. One of the main reasons why native pl
108、ants are recommended is that _.A. they cost less and are much easier to getB. they may attract local wildlife to come C. they require little care from the local gardenersD. they are more used to the local growing conditions.42. We can infer from the passage that after native plants are planted, rain
109、 gardens _.A. need little water B. need little care C. need to be watered every day D. neednt be watered if there is at least an inch of rainwater per weekCThe interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may decide whether o
110、r not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your purpose during the interview may differ from that of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths and should be considered the right person for the
111、job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewers task is not to embarrass you, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job-hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to improve your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the m
112、ost important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer wont know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.Dont say anything bad about your former employers. If you have been fired from a job and the intervie
113、w asks about it, be honest.Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and benefits of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let
114、 your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you many have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you
115、 are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and have completed the paperwork.43. To get the job you want, during the interv
116、iew you should _. A. avoid the interviewers questions that are designed to embarrass you B. remember that you are the best C. make yourself stand out as the right person for the job D. tell yourself that you want to get the job44. If you did not get along with your former employer, you _. A. should
117、tell a lie to the interviewer B. should not speak ill of him C. should refer to him in a factual manner D. should never mention it45. The underlined word “adverse” in the sixth paragraph can be replaced by _. A. difficult B. friendly C. opposite D. different46. The passage is mainly about _. A. how
118、to make your strengths understood B. how to show your interest in the job C. how to be frank and sincere D. how to deal with an interviewDThe oil resources which are left will not last very long. This means that all vehicles such as cars, trains, buses, planes and ships that need oil to work will no
119、t be able to run. So it will be necessary to develop a new system of transport which uses a fuel more than oil. Electric vehicles are one possibility. In Britain, most families have at least one car and this car is used every day. It could be that only one person in the family drives the car to work
120、 or for shopping. The number of cars on the road which are almost empty perhaps helps to explain why the oil is used up so quickly. The family car is a very useful form of transport but it is also a great waste of energy, especially if it is compared with buses or trains. Much petrol is used by a ca
121、r which is traveling at 120 kilometers an hour. Clearly, it would be better if there were fewer cars on the road and more speed limits so that the oil which is left will last as long as possible.About 25% of Britains total consumption of energy is domesticit is used only in the home. Just over 20% i
122、s used for transport. Most of the energy is used in industry. It is difficult to suggest any possible energy conservation in industry because many of the suggestions would mean that some people would lose their jobs. It is important that industry produces the same amount of products using the same a
123、mount of workers.Obviously, conservation is not going to be the answer to the energy crisis. The most it can do is to give more time for a better solution to be found. The more time which is available for new sources of energy to be developed, the better it is because there is still a lot of work to
124、 be done in order to find suitable, safe methods of producing energy.47. In Britain, what reason could help to explain why oil is used up very quickly?A. People use cars every day. B. Most families have at least one car.C. Many cars on the road are almost empty. D. Electric vehicles are used.48. Whi
125、ch of the following is true?A. Compared with buses and trains, the family car is useful and can save energy.B. A car driving at the speed of 80 kilometers per hour uses half as much petrol as a car traveling at 160 kilometers per hour.C. It is possible for people to develop vehicles.D. Limitation of
126、 the number of cars on the road and their speed will help the oil last longer.49. What does the underlined word “domestic” mean in Paragraph Two?A. For household use. B. On the road. C. Slow driving. D. Fast driving.50. What is a better way to solve the problem of the energy crisis?A. Governments sh
127、ould cut down the number of family cars on the road.B. The speed of vehicles must be limited.C. New sources of energy should be found and developed.D. Factories should cut down on production.第三部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。We all h
128、ave goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present si
129、tuation.Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We dont take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journ
130、ey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. Lets use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others ach
131、ieve our goal instead. What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this m
132、ay mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the
133、best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion. So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very
134、best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasnt built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on. Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we
135、 will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.Title Focus on the presentTheme To (51) _ our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.Common (52)_We do not focus on our present situation.

154、2分，满分30分） AWe find that bright children are seldom held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account(考虑) the fact that children develop at differe
155、nt rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade. Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total person
156、ality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects(方面) of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. Th
157、e pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate(评估), and to communicate effectively. The
158、pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the librar
159、y, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to reach this goal.36. By “held back” (Para. 1) th
160、e author means “_”.A. made to remain in the same classes B. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studies D. prevented from advancing37. The author argues that a teachers chief concern should be the development of the students _.A. personal qualities and social skillsB. total persona
161、lityC. intellectual ability D. learning ability and communicative skills 38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the third paragraph？A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C. Group work provide
162、s pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D. Pupils also learn how to take part in teaching activities.39. The author s purpose in writing this passage is to _.A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB. recommend pair work and group work for class
163、room activitiesC. offer advice on the proper use of the library D. emphasize(强调) the importance of proper formal classroom teaching BWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars. A true friendship carries a l
164、ong history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably youll have disagreements. And the result can be what you dont wantan end to the relationship. The good news is that most troub
165、led friendships can be mended. First, dont let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when youre wrong even if youve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it
166、 may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friends point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can somet
167、imes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture（培养）.40What would be the best title for the text?A. Easy Ways
168、 to Make Friends B. Ups and Downs in FriendshipC. How to Mend a Troubled Friendship D. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends41The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person .A. who has been mistaken for another B. who has been blamed unfairly C. who has treated friends badly D. who
169、has admitted his mistakes 42According to the text a friendship can last long only if . A. we have much in common B. we know our friends mistakes C. we treat our disagreements wisely D. we have known one another for long43What should we do if we follow the authors second suggestion? A. Stick to our o
170、wn points of view. B. Avoid making mistakes. C. Make an apology first. D. Change our lifestyles. CDuring the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of man were injured, he would lose the power to do something. And so people thought that each part of the brain did a differ
171、ent job. But modern research has found out that this is not so, for it is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years, there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Chemists and biologists have discovered that the way the brain work
172、s was not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that, 1, 000, 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember EVERYTHING that happens to us. We may not be able to recall the things weve heard and seen, but they
173、are all kept there in the storehouse of the mind.Earlier scientists thought that the power of ones brain got weaker and weaker as one grow older. But it is now thought that it is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been made sure that an old person
174、who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young man who has done some physical work without using much of his brain. The more work we give our brains, the more work theyre able to do.44. Now the scientists have found that _.A. a certain part of a mans brain does a jobB. if a m
175、ans brain is injured, he cant do anythingC. its difficult to conclude what each part of a mans brain doesD. the brain is more powerful than any other parts of a mans body45. Some recent researches suggest that _.A. a mans brain can store all the things in the worldB. no one can recall everything he
176、has heard and seenC. not everyone can recall all the things he has heard and seenD. anybody has a house of the mind46. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The older a man grows, the stronger his brain gets.B. The younger a man is, the more quickly his brain works.C. The more a
177、ctive his brain is, the more quickly his brain works.D. The more work a man does, the more quickly his brain works. DLife is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about th
178、eir problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is
179、 a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well a
180、s joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our
181、children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.47. From the passage, it can be inferred that _.A.
182、everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems48. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _.A. save spaceB. persuade reade
183、rsC. make readers laugh D. get readers attention49. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that _.A. Most people feel life is easy.B. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are50. The underlined saying from Benjamin
184、Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that _.A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoided四、单词拼写 （共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）51.

Studies show that walking several times
188、a week can lower the risk of many diseases. They include heart disease, stroke, diabetes（糖尿病）, bone loss, arthritis （关节炎）, and depression. Walking also can help you lose weight. Fast walking is good for the heart. It lowers the blood pressure. It raises the amount of good cholesterol （胆固醇） in the bl
189、ood. Researchers say walking can sharply reduce the risk of suffering a heart attack.Studies have also shown that walking for 30 minutes a day can delay and possibly prevent the development of diabetes. People who are overweight have an especially high risk to develop this disease. Walking strengthe
190、ns the muscles and builds up the bones that they are attached to. Studies show that walking could decrease the risk of developing osteoporosis. （骨质疏松） Walking can also help ease the pain of arthritis in areas where bones are joined. This is because walking strengthens the muscles around the bones.Ex
191、perts say walking is one of the safest ways to exercise. There is a low risk of injuries. So it is good for people who are starting an exercise program for the first time and for older people. A walking program is easy to start. You should wear loose clothes and good shoes. There are shoes that are
192、designed especially for lots of walking.How fast should you walk? For the best effect, doctors say you should walk fast enough to cause you to breathe hard. Yet you should still be able to talk. Let your arms move freely while you walk.There are no rules to starting a walking program. You might walk
193、 short distances. Or you might walk up hills to strengthen your leg muscles. Health experts say you can gain the most from a walking program if you walk at about five kilometers an hour for 30 minutes a day.

Some students think its a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets
202、. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. People who owns pets will have more chances to walk, thus giving them a time to communicate with others. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinion, if too many people keep pets at home, it is
203、bad for the environment. What is worse, some pets may make too much noise and even attack people. In addition, it costs a lot of money to keep pets. I like animals, so I dont think its bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.（模块六 单元一）（作

236、g ConditionCBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants
237、 (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plain men; effort and ability were thoug
238、ht to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attra
239、ctive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be m
240、ore feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required.This is true even in politics. When the only cl
241、ue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The st
242、udents were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the
243、fewest votes.46. The word liability in the 1st paragraph most probably means _. A. disadvantage B. advantage C. misfortune D. trouble47. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _. A. makes women look more honest and capable B. strengthens the qualifies requiredC. is of no importance to women D.
244、 often enables women to succeed quickly48. Bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _. A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womenC. affects men and women alike D. has as little effect on men as on women49. It can be

273、u happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today? Many have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many turned to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the
274、 possession of expensive cars, exotic (异国的) vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness. Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of
275、finding it. I have heard many people say that, “Ill be happy when I get my new promotion” or “Ill be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds”. It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus (激励) and response.
276、Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “Ill be happy when .” It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a
277、 stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is not a response but a stimulus. Happiness is a conscious choice
278、 we make in daily life. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we wantwe usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.36. From the second paragraph, we know to some people _.A. they

283、n Miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot.Both families named their daughters Mia. It turns out, a first name and Chinese heritage arent the only things the three-year-olds have in common. The girls mothersHolly Funk and Diana Ramirezmet on a website for parents who
284、 had gone through international adoptions. After a flurry of emails comparing photographs and biographical details, DNA testing proved the families suspicions: The girls are probably fraternal (手足的) twins.“I was in shock,” said Ramirez, who lives with her husband Carlos in Pembroke Pines, Florida. “
285、Well, now this is for real.”The Internet and Web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin (亲属). The site that the Funks and Ramirezes used has a membership of 137 people, with 15 sets of twins and seven sets of siblings
286、 whose relationships have been confirmed.At a reunion on Friday at Chicagos OHare International Airport, Mia Diamond Funk and Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other, then reached for each others hand.DNA tests established an 85 percent probability that the girls are at least half sisters. Sci
287、entists did not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty, but given their ages and physical similarities, experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.Douglas and Holly Funk hope to take Mia to Miami in October. Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in tou

To communicate with other people who had adopted children abroad.C. To test their suspicion.D. To exchange experiences on adopting children.42.
289、Experts are still not 100 percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins because _ _. A.

The Story of Adopted Twins and Their ParentsCSadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tol
291、erance for falling in despair. Especially now weve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelingswhether its after losing a job, the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one. So its no surprise that more and more people are taking them.But is this really such a good idea? A growing number o
292、f voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isnt. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose (行为轻率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purposeand if we lose it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists (精神病医生) insist not. S
293、adness has a nasty habit of turning into depression (抑郁), they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why fe
294、eling sad should become part of human life. It may be a self-protection strategy, as other primates (灵长类) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesnt show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkeyand that could result in death.In humans sadn
295、ess has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support.Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depres
296、sion or disorder. Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for yo

The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.44. The underlined word “this” refers to _. A. taking medicine

311、 with him/her. No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.Host family accommodation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation for any student. It is also the best w
312、ay to practice English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host family enables students to get enough practice during the short time of their study so that th
313、eir language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, who are often very hospitable and friendly, and get to know the lacal way of life, people and culture. Most host families are always ready t
314、o help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students
315、 as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.The advantages, however, have not prevented host families,from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling points. One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have
316、 less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high
317、socio-economic groups in their own countries.To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for
318、long showers. Ther are also providing students with structured family activities.It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with international students.Title: Host Family Accommodation(61)_Host family accommodation refers to a kind of accommodation in which the stude

Maybe youve used them to describ
331、e 17 .These comments may come from stories about us that have been 18 for yearsoften from19 childhood. These stories may have no 20 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical sk
332、ills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 21 my development? I was never 22 to work on cars or be around 23 . When I was 18, I took the US Armys Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!Six years later, 24 , I was at California University, workin
333、g on my doctors degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldnt do. On the positive side, I 25 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 26 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”Bob asked me how I knew I had no mech
334、anical skills. I explained my life 27 and told him about my 28 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 29 is it that you can solve 30 mathematical problems, but you cant solve simple mechanical problems?”Suddenly I realized that I didnt 31 from some sort of genetic defect.

340、ery day, millions of Americans buy lottery tickets. They are hoping to win $50,000, $100,000, $1,000,000 or more.When a person wins a million dollars, he doesnt receive a check for the total amount. The person receives $50,000 a year for 20 years. Also, he must pay taxes. After taxes, a million-doll
341、ar winner receives from $25,000 to $40,000 a year for 20 years.What have some people done with their money? Lets look at three former winners. Lisa K. was working as a cashier in a supermarket. In August, Lisa bought one ticket and won two million dollars. She quit her job and is now attending art s
342、chool. Lisa says, “If I dont become an artist, its my own fault. I have the opportunity now.”Mark L. was a car salesperson. He worked seven days a week and had little time for family life. After he won three million dollars, he quit working. Now he spends his time bowling, working in the garden, and
343、 fixing things in his house. But, hes bored. He doesnt want to sell cars again, but he isnt sure what he wants to do with his life.Jack B.s winning ticket was worth two million dollars. He is one of the small numbers of winners who did not quit their jobs. Jack still teaches English at a high school
344、 in his area. But he and his wife now have a new car in the garage. They take their four children on an interesting vacation every year. And they dont worry about sending their children to college. They say that money brings security and gives a person opportunity, but it doesnt bring happiness. 36.

347、t hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they learnt to. A few people are paid
348、for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300，000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. I
349、nternational golf and tennis champions can make more than 500，000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports
350、equipment does not simply tell people: “Buy our things!” It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as the sports stars do!” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longe
351、r just something for peoples spare time.39. From the passage we can learn that_. A. famous people spend too much money and time on sports B. the development of sports is slower than any other activity C. most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of money D. now sport is not only a pastime
352、 for people40. In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people _ . A. who teach others how to make money in sports B. who take sports as their jobs C. who are very fond of sports D. who teach other sportsmen how to play games41. Now, the word “sport” means_ . A. what most of the people do in t
353、heir spare time B. hunting wild animals and birds in the forests C. organized games D. something that people are paid to do42. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? A. Most people play sports only for money. B. Those who play sports earn more than those who do not. C. Pe
354、ople play sports for different purposes. D. Those who play sports want to keep strong and fit.43. What surprises people most is that_ . A. the sports stars get more money from advertising B. the word “sport” means hunting wild animals and birds C. professional sportsmen are paid for what they do D.
355、only a few sportsmen can earn $ 500, 000 a yearCThe other Europeans think the best known quality of the British is” reserved”. A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers, does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited. It is difficult to get to know a reserved person: he
356、never tells you anything about himself, and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives, how many children he has, and what his interests are. English people tend to be like that.Closely related to English reserve is English modesty（谦慎）. Within their hearts, the English are p
357、erhaps no less conceited(自负) than anybody else, but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty. Self-praise is felt to be impolite. If a person is, let us say, very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player, he will seldom reply“Yes,” because people will th
358、ink him conceited. He will probably give an answer like, “I am not bad,” or “Well, Im very keen on(对热衷) tennis.” Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last years local championships, he would say it was only due to a piece of good luck.Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature, th
359、e typical English tends to expect them in others. He secretly looks down on more excitable nations, and think of himself as more reliable（可靠的） than them. He doesnt trust big promises and open shows of feelings, especially if they are expressed in flowery language. He doesnt trust self-praise of any
360、kind. To those who are fond of flowery expressions, the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.44. What are the English main characters mentioned in this passage?A. Reserved and proud. B. Self-praise and reserved.C. Reserve and modesty. D. Cold and conceited.45. If an Englishman won the first priz
361、e in skiing competition, someone asked how he had got along with his game. The winner cant reply “ _ ”.A. Not bad B. Yes, I have done a good jobC. Well, I am very keen on it D. I have good luck46. Which of the following can stand for English “reserve” best?A. An Englishman does not talk very much to
362、 strangers, does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited.B. When an Englishman reaches the finals in this years country championship, he would say it is because of a piece of good luck that he made it.C. He doesnt trust big promises and open shows of feelings, especially if they are expressed
363、 in flowery （辞藻华丽的）language.D. An Englishman is very cold towards the people from other countries.47. Which is the best title of the passage?A. The English Character B. Reserve and ModestyC. Do You Like the English?D. Comparing the Englishs Character with Other EuropeansDBusiness activities are beco
364、ming increasingly worldwide as many firms spread their operations into markets abroad. Many U.S. firms, for example, are trying to enlarge markets by doing business in China, India, Latin America, Russia and other Eastern European countries. Multinational Corporations (MNCs), which operate in more t
365、han one country, at once, especially move operations to wherever they can, find the least expensive employees who are able to do the work well. Production jobs requiring only basic or repetitive skills such as sewing computer pieces are usually the first to be moved abroad. MNCs can pay these worker
366、s a small part of what they would have to pay in their own countries, and often make them work longer and harder. Most U.S. multinational businesses keep the majority of their upper-level management, marketing and finance within the United States. They employ some lower-level managers and a large nu
367、mber of their production workers in offices, factories, and buildings in developing countries. MNCs based in the United States have moved many of their production operations to Central and Latin America, China, India, and Southeast Asia.Merger is also becoming more common than in the past. In the Un
368、ited States, for example, tobacco product and food producer R.J. Reynolds Industries bought food giant Nabisco Brands to form RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp. in 1985, and in 1995 the industrial power generator, electronics, and machine producer Westinghouse Electric Corporation bought media production co

It is also 40 percent faster than the worlds second fastest supercomputer, Cray XT5 Jaguar, in the US, kept at a national laboratory in T

Jack Dongarra, a University of Tennessee computer scientist, told NYT that the Chinese supercomputer is faster than the existing Number One machine.Building the fastest supercomputer has become a source of national pride, as these machines are valued for th
376、eir ability to solve problems in areas like defense, energy and science. These problems are related to national interests. Supercomputing technology is also found in business. Oil and gas companies use supercomputers to find oil and gas. Obviously, research centers with large supercomputers attract
377、top scientific talents. This adds extra importance to the machinestheyre more than just huge computers. Chinas new supercomputer will be used to speed up greatly scientific calculations, such as hurricane and tsunami modeling, cancer research, car design and even studying stars.In 2008, two US scien
378、tists put together a step-by-step guide on how to build a supercomputer using PlayStation 3 video-game consoles（控制台）. Modern supercomputers are built by combining thousands of small computer servers（服务器）and using software to turn them into one large computer. Really, any organization with enough mat
379、erial and technology can create a fast machine. The Chinese system follows that model by linking thousands upon thousands of computer servers.

403、ers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerb
404、eds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I
405、 am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know Im not very useful, but I can only do my best. Im happy that the gardener still finds a little bit
406、 of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they
407、noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的)earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.36. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. Dirty B. Dark C. Worn
408、-out D. Plain-looking.37. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His past. B. His aging. C. His manner. D. His leaking.38. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to A. laugh at the old one B. take pity on the old oneC. show off its beautiful looks D. praise the gardeners kindness39
409、. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balance B. Because it stayed in its best conditionC. Because it was taken as a treasure D. Because it had its own functionBGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothi
410、ng fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills ( 疾病 ) in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By
411、1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king o
412、rdered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and ha
413、nd washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War . Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, clothes ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone to
414、o far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build u
415、p a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.40. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay in C. they believed disease could be spread in
416、 public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease41. Which of the following best describes Henry IVs attitude to bathing?A. Afraid. B. Curious. C. Approving. D. Uninterested.42. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.C. By following
417、the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.43. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt. D. To present the change of views on dirt.CI got my first drivers license(执
418、照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehic
419、le office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina drivers license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.I a
420、rgued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “Its the law, madam?” Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said. I refused to h
421、ave him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry
422、left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland drivers exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.44. Susan got her first drivers license .A. before she got m
423、arried to Henry B. when she was twenty years oldC. after she finished high school D. when she just moved to Maryland45. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because .A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law B. she lacked driving experience in MarylandC. she was to give b
424、irth to a baby soon D. she insisted on signing for herself46. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. .A. American males should serve in the armyB. different states may have different laws C. people have to renew their licenses in their home statesD. women should adopt their husbands family name
425、s after marriageDWilliam Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承
426、) excellent taste in art from his familyboth his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late
427、1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didnt lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time
428、and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he c
429、ontinued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet Auden wrote, among others, the following liners:Earth, receive an honored guest:William Yeats is laid to r
430、est.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry.47. Which of the following can describe Yeatss family?A. It filled Yeatss childhood with laughter. B. It was shocked by Yeatss choice.C. It was a typically wealthy family. D. It had an artistic atmosphere.48. According to the passage, what do we
431、know about Yeatss life?A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater. B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.49. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Audens lines?A. Envy.
432、 B. Sympathy. C. Emptiness. D. Admiration.50. What is the passage mainly about?A. Yeats literary achievements. B. Yeats historical influence.C. Yeats artistic ambition. D. Yeats national honor.四、单词拼写 （共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）51. As he works in a(n) _(遥远的) area, he visits his parents every three months.52

We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or
436、 unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the i
437、nterest of others. What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions. Firstly, you should be yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. Theyre the same whether theyr
438、e having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being. Secondly, whether youre talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Dont break eye contact while talking. As you enter a
439、room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced. You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You cant lear
440、n anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, dont immediately start throwing your opinions. Stop for a second. Absorb whats going on. Whats the mood of the othersare they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you
441、 can sense whats happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk. The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy. How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meetingyours and the others. Once you go thro
442、ugh the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air o
443、f certainty. The audience may disagree with you, but they cant question your belief.Lastly, I would like to remind you that you should lighten up. Take a good hard look at your self. Do you say “I” too often? Are you only concentrated on your own problems? Do you complain frequently? If you answer y
444、es to even one of these questions, you need to be more relaxed.How to communicate (61) SuggestionsDosDontsBe yourselfAlways be the same and communicate with your whole being.Change character in (62) situations.Use your eyes and smilel Make direct eye contact.l Present a gentle and comfortable (63) .
