1、In September, 1939, Germany invaded and occupied Poland, which marked the beginning of the Second World War. The war lasted for about 7 years. Later, many countries, including Britain, declared war on Germany. Numerous privates died. Despite this, the survivors still think their sacrifice and effort
2、s worthwhile.The most important and memorable battle of the war was Operation Overlord. The situation at Omaha Beach where American troops landed was so bad that its commanders even thought about abandoning the operation. To our great astonishment, eventually, the soldiers made a breakthrough with g
3、reat courage and the DDay landing was successful. During the landing, some soldiers drowned in the deep water, others wounded by the bullets or shells. Fortunately, some soldiers were picked up. When some old soldiers think of the scene now, they still feel shocked and frightened. On 6 June, 2004, s

Peace is the very thing that most countries have gone after.1939年9月德国入侵并占领了波兰,
5、这标志着第二次世界大战的开始。二战大约持续了7年。后来许多国家,包括英国,都向德国宣战。无数的士兵牺牲了。尽管如此,幸存者仍认为他们的牺牲和努力是值得的。这场战争中最重要和最难忘的战役是“霸王行动”。美国军队登陆的奥马哈海滩形势非常糟糕,以至于指挥官都考虑放弃这次行动。令我们感到非常惊讶的是,最后士兵们用他们巨大的勇气取得了突破,D日登陆成功了。在这次登陆中,一些士兵在深水中被淹死,一些被子弹或炮弹击中负伤。幸运的是,有些士兵被救起。当一些老士兵回想起当时的情景时,他们依旧感到震惊和恐惧。在2004年6月6号,D日登陆的不同国籍的幸存者回到法国去参观俯视奥马哈海滩的公墓和纪念碑以怀念他们阵亡的

A satisfying photo can make any visitor to your social media pages feel good about you at first sight. But, according
20、 to a new study, we may not be the best judge of our own profile pictures.Researchers asked 100 university students to choose images that they would most likely use as profile pictures on social networks. They found that the participants picked the trait (特点) of attractiveness for a dating site and
21、professionalism for a career site. They decided what to emphasize (强调) in this way. Next, the students were asked to perform the same task for a stranger in the group. At last, researchers showed these images to online viewers and asked them to rate how confident, trustworthy or able the person in t
22、hem appeared.The online viewers tended to favor the photos that were chosen by strangers rather than those chosen by the people themselves. Researchers suggested that strangers are better at choosing true images that show a persons current appearance. One idea is that people tend to think themselves
23、 more positively than others do. This may affect their ability to distinguish (区分) when trying to select a satisfying photo. Moreover, it appears that people overemphasize the trait of attractiveness compared with other traits, such as trustworthiness and kindness, which are characters that stranger
24、s often focus on.Still, there are a number of questions to be answered. Researchers have not yet begun to examine which photos can bring actual benefits in life or workplaces. But if you want to put your best face forward, you can ask someone else to choose your next profile picture.语篇解读:人们总是希望在社交网站

55、fferent ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do
56、 so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and fun in work. Some teenagers work in the forests or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills. There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too.
57、 During the free hours some of the teenagers learn phototaking or drawing. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to pass his free time. When people live together, they should have rules. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone
58、breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?” One of the teenagers has said something about it, “You have to stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”(Text 10)If someone offered t
59、o pay all my expenses for a months holiday anywhere in the world, I would feel very surprised and very excited. I think I would decide to fly around the world and to visit three different countries. The countries I would visit would be Australia, the United States of America and Kenya. If I went to
60、Australia, I would stay there for about two weeks. Before I went, I would write to one of my Australian friends. I would suggest that if it were possible, he should spend a week with me visiting Aboriginal tribes in the northern part of Australia. My friend could explain what we saw and he could tra

I expect I would start by visiting New York. I have heard that New York is a very exciting city. After I had stayed for two or three days in
62、 New York, I would fly to San Francisco. I hope I could stay with my friends who live there and I would visit the city and other parts of California. Finally, I would fly to Kenya where I would stay for about a week. There are three things I would like to do in Kenya. First, I hope I could visit the
63、 coast. Next, I would like to visit a game reserve. I imagine the wild animals of Africa the lion, elephant and hippopotamus are very exciting and beautiful. Finally, I would like to visit the Mountains of Kenya where you can see snow on the Equator. If someone offered me this money, I would be amaz

73、at cloning existing people might be ethically acceptable in some cases. One possibility is generating replacement for a dying relative. All such possibilities, however, raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual, because he or she would likely suffer from li
74、mitations and expectations based on the familys knowledge of the genetic “twin”. Those expectations might be false, because human personality is only partly determined by genes. The clone of an extrovert (性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior.Clones for athletes, movie stars, or scien
75、tists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.Some people have also pointed out that couples in which one member is infertile (不生育) might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner. But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a
76、child who is a copy of just one of them.Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility, and the traditional choice seems more appropriate.None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking,
77、 because they are not in the interests of the resulting child. It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.In spite of this, it seems clear that cloning from cultured (人工培育的) cells will offer important medical o
78、pportunities. Predictions about new technologies are often wrong; societal attitudes change; unexpected developments occur.Time will tell. But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.25Towards cloning an existing person, what concern does the author show ?A
79、The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.BThe clone created is ethically unacceptable.CThe clone created will be mistreated.DThe clone created will have one defect or another.解析:选C细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知,作者担心克隆人会受到虐待。26According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?AOnes personali
80、ty is determined by neither their genes nor the environment they live in.BOnes personality is not entirely determined by their genes.COnes personality is not determined by their genes.DOnes personality is determined by the environment they live in.解析:选B推理判断题。由第一段第四句可知,人的个性只是部分由基因决定,故选B。27What is the
81、 authors attitude towards cloning technology?AIt should wait till peoples views change.BIt should be condemned.CIt was unethical from the very beginning.DIt has medical potential for scientists to explore.解析:选D推理判断题。由最后一段第二、三、四句可知,作者认为克隆的意义有待研究,科学家还需要做很多探索,所以选D。 CThere are many things that go into m
82、aking a successful school, and success can be measured in many ways. Often, the teachers are praised for a schools success and blamed for its failure. Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of
83、more than just educators. Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is. This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students life. Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role
84、 they play in the students lives is immeasurable.Administrative assistants welcome students at the beginning of the day and answer a large number of questions. When an assistant remembers a students name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for. The a
85、ssistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principals office.Cafeteria workers have a short period of time to interact with students, but can make a big difference as well. Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria wo
86、rkers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve. Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.Custodians (管理人员) are often underappreciated for all that they give to schools. Th
87、ey have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate (复杂的) tools. They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the afterschool event. They also make sure teachers are equipped with the
88、 necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning. A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.28If an assistant remembers a students name, the student will feel that _.Ahe is cared forBhe is specialChe has done something wron

92、9, are quite special. Animal bones, broken potteries (陶器) and architectural material, such as bricks, were found crowded inside and outside the tombs where the citys dead were laid to rest.To explain the condition, some brought out a theory that 15 years before the eruption, an earthquake left Pompe
93、ii in disorder. But archaeological evidence shows that the city wasnt forsaken by its people. Instead of leaving, citizens appeared to have rebuilt the public spaces and houses. “It just didnt make sense that garbage would mean the tombs werent being used,” said Allison Emmerson from University of C
94、incinnati. She suggested that we shouldnt judge Pompeii by modern standards, which never encourage being messy in life. “Attitudes toward the garbage are very culturally defined, and it looks like in Pompeii attitudes were very different from ours,” said Emmerson.The same sort of garbage was also fo
95、und in the city streets of Pompeii, along the walls of the city, and even on the floors of homes. In a house that appeared to have served as a restaurant, a cistern (水箱) for storing water between two garbage sites was packed with broken potteries and food waste, such as animal bones and grape seeds.
96、 No evidence has been found for a system for handling garbage.The citizens in Pompeii also appear not to have shared our traditions on burial. As Romans, the citizens were always concerned with being remembered after death, so they built tombs in hightraffic areas. Since Roman law forbade tombs insi

When the eruption buried the city, new tombs were still being built and the city appeared prosperous (繁荣的), according to Emmerson.语篇解读:考古学家在意大利庞贝古城的坟墓内外发现了许多垃圾,这种现象并不符合常理,但在当时的人们看来可能极其平常。32Why are the tombs of Pompeii considered special?AThey are of
98、 no historical value.BA lot of garbage was found there.CA volcanic eruption ruined them.DThey have been kept in good condition.解析:选B细节理解题。根据第一段“Animal bones . were found crowded inside and outside the tombs .”可知,庞贝墓穴的特殊之处在于其一点也不干净整洁,到处堆满了垃圾。33Whats the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2?A

DLet out.解析:选A词义猜测题。根据第二段Instead of leaving . rebuilt the public spaces and houses.可知,地震之后庞贝居民并未抛弃这座城市,而是重建了它。由此可推测“forsaken”意为“抛弃,遗弃”。34We can infer from Paragraph 3 that people in Pompeii _.Awere too busy to deal with the garbageBwanted to make good use of the
100、garbageCwere used to living with the garbageDdidnt have enough space to place the garbage解析:选C推理判断题。根据第三段“The same sort of garbage . a cistern for storing water between two garbage sites .”可推断,庞贝古城的人们习惯和垃圾生活在一起。35What did Romans mainly consider when choosing a site for a tomb?AWhether the site was i
101、nside the city.BWhether the tomb could be seen by many people.CWhether the scenery around the site was great.DWhether the tomb might cause troubles to others.解析:选B细节理解题。根据最后一段“As Romans . being remembered after death,so they built tombs in hightraffic areas.”可知,庞贝居民修建坟墓的位置取决于它们是否显眼。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分
