12、cord as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go!

Grab a traditional Portuguese di
13、nnerMacao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.3. Visit a museumMacao, as a tiny
14、little city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found.

18、Macao. B. How to make a tour in Macao.C. Things that you cant miss in Macao. D. Seeing is believing.BTwo teenagers are lost at sea off the coast of the United States for six days on their small sailing boat. Without any food and drink, the boys drink sea water. They try slipping into the ocean to co
19、ol off, but sharks drive them back onto the boat. At night, they use a single wet suit to keep warm. This is a real story of two American boys. Driscoll and his best friend, 18-year-old Josh Long, were found six days later and more than 100 miles from where they had set off from Sullivans Island, So
20、uth Carolina, on April 24. The boys had lost a lot of water and were tired, but otherwise in pretty good shape. They set out fishing on a 4.3-meter sailboat on a windy day when the National Weather Service had warned small boats to stay out of the water, but they didnt care. They realized they were
21、in trouble almost immediately and tried to swim back to shore, pulling the boat along with them. Within hours, they were far out to sea. “We lost our fishing equipment, ” Driscoll said. “So we couldnt catch any fish. ” The boys hopes faded with each day passing. They stood on their boat every time t
22、hey saw another boat, waving and shouting, but without success. One night they were woken up by water coming into the boat. A large ship was very close to them. A coast guard boat set out to look for them. The boys got up and made some noise. This time, they were heard. “What we have is a completely
23、 surprising story of survival thats going to be studied for years to come, ” said Richard Goerling, Longs uncle, “I think the boys have a book to write. ”24.

25、can conclude from the text that _. A. the boys were saved on April 30B. the boys went to the sea to go surfingC. the boys were sleeping soundly when the boat passed byD. some boats had found the boys but refused to offer help27. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. the boys will wri
26、te a book B. something can be learned from the boys experienceC. childrens safety should be paid more attention to D. the boys did very well when facing dangerCWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to
27、 the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other aler
28、ting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern i
29、s usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most al
30、ert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” - the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for
31、the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.28.What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their s
32、leep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students dont sleep well because of alerting systems.C. Ones body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independ
33、ently.D. Adolescents delayed sleep/wake cycle isnt the preferred pattern.30.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A. GroupedB. CriticizedC. OrganizedD. Named31.What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock. B. The “night owl” phenomeno
34、n.C. Human beings sleep behaviour. D. The school schedule of “early birds”.DAlthough vaccines are required for entry into school in most places in the United States, the government does allow for exceptions, like religious reasons.In the last few years, the rates of vaccine-preventable illness have
35、been on the rise. In most cases, these outbreaks began with children who were unvaccinated. To deal with this threat, some schools in New York have been refusing to allow unvaccinated children to attend school. Several parents thought this was unfair and filed lawsuits (起诉). Just recently, though, a
36、 court (法庭) ruled in favor of the city schools.The court made the right decision. Vaccine policy depends not only on the added protection that vaccines provide for those who get shots, but also on the decreased likelihood that anyone will come into contact with the disease. This is known as communit
37、y immunity (免疫力). It refers to the fact that when enough people are immunized, then there really cant be an outbreak. And if there cant be an outbreak, then everyone is protected.This is important, because there are people who cannot be given immunizations for various reasons. For example, small bab
38、ies cant be given all vaccines.In 1995, the chicken pox (水痘) vaccine was introduced in the United States. Over time, more and more children received it. In 2011, a study looked at how the program affected the number of children who died from the disease.The first thing noted in the paper was that de
39、ath from chicken pox went down considerably after the vaccine was introduced. From 2001 through 2007, the rates of death remained much lower, with just a few children dying from chicken pox nationally each year.Whats more from 2004 through 2007, not one child less than 1 year of age died in the Unit
40、ed States from chicken pox. This is important, because we cannot give the chicken pox vaccine to babies. In other words, all those babies were saved not because we vaccinated them against this illness, but because older children were.Therefore, people who refuse to vaccinate their children arent jus
41、t putting themselves at risk theyre putting everyone else in danger, too.32. Whose interest did the judges take into consideration?A. Students. B. School leaders.C. Several parents. D. Unvaccinated kids.33. What is needed to prevent disease outbreaks through “community immunity”?A. Requiring everyon
42、e to be immune. B. Separating unvaccinated people from vaccinated.C. Making sure enough people get vaccinated. D. Vaccinating babies as early as possible.34. What does the study about the chicken pox vaccine show?A. The vaccine is safe for every kid. B. No deaths have been seen since 2004.C.The vacc
43、ine is more effective among babies. D. The vaccine has lowered the death rate.35. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. No vaccine, no risk. B. No vaccine, no school.C. Vaccination is a personal choice. D. Vaccine-preventable illness is dropping.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出
44、能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does failure really exist? If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you dont have the ability to succeed, then you dont.36 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.37 Most people give themselves an out without ev
45、en realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Dont do that! 38 Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.Dont believe in a clear finish line for goals. Its a good idea to set a general timeline,
46、but remember that something will be beyond your control.39 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when youd like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching
47、 the finish line in as little time as possible.Be sure that you dont see difficulties as failures. Difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet. Thats it! It doesnt mean you failed; it doesnt mean youre weak; it doesnt mean youll never achieve your goals.40 Youve
48、got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.A. Never give up on yourself.B. Failure only exists in your own mind!C. Thats exactly how failure makes us feel.D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reac
49、hed.F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A couple of weeks ago, when some friends and I took a tri

Weve just finished talking about peoples expectations about the economy and now let
80、s turn our attention to education. You may wonder what American parents are looking for when they are deciding where to send their children for college. Well, a couple of generations ago parents basically chose schools for their children. But nowadays, many teenagers are more likely to have a final
81、say about where they end up. So what do students actually want in a college? Actually, they are looking for more than just good professors and a beautiful campus. Students today want to communicate with the people from different countries and cultures. They are more curious than ever about outside p
82、oints of view. Also, technology is playing a more important role. Visitors to campuses around America expect to see the latest technology in lecture halls, labs, and even in places like dining halls and bookstores. Whats more important, though, is access to social activities. Sports and clubs on campus are great, but if there are no movie theatres, bars, restaurants, clubs, or stadiums nearby, you are going to have a hard time getting 21st century American teenagers to go anywhere near that campus.
