I had eaten breakfast, tidied my room and packed my bag. I stepped o
22、ut the door, hugged my mum goodbye and promised I wouldnt be too late home. Weirdly(古怪地), it felt like it was going to be a good day. How wrong was I?School was good and afterwards I walked home. When I was halfway down the road, I realized that Mums car was moving towards me. It wasnt that weird, a
23、s she might have been just dropping off my sister at the book club. However, as the car pulled up for me to get in and I realized Mums eyes were red with tears. I knew something was wrong.“Weve had a fire,” Mum explained. Horrible images flooding into my head, I was assured that everyone in our fami
24、ly was fine, though.It turned out that Mum had gone out and left our little Yorkshire Terrier, Trevor, in the house. She had then gone to the shop to buy cake mixture for Valentines Day and during this time, the dishwasher had overheated and caught fire. When she returned from the shops, she found t
25、he house had been destroyed by fire.Fortunately, we had a holiday cottage that we were able to go to. After some emergency shopping, I had two T-shirts and two pairs of leggings to wear, but I felt empty and upset. My dog was the worst off by far. She was unconscious when the firemen found her and s
26、hed swallowed a lot of smoke, but she was alive.We were eventually able to rent a house in the area we had been living in before, but it was a painful struggle. My friends were incredibly supportive and I owe it to them. We have only just got back to normal and have bought another. I and my three si
27、sters were spoilt rotten at Christmas by all our friends and family to make up for the possessions we lost in the fire. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us in the past year. To you I will eternally grateful.46. How did the author feel when leaving home that morning?A. Strange B. Good C.
28、Puzzled D. Bad47. Seeing Mums car was moving towards her, the author _.A. felt it was very strange B. knew there was something bad had happenedC. thought her mum were driving to school to pick her upD. thought her mum might have been taking her sister to the book club48. What was the reason for the
29、fire according to the text?A. The little Yorkshire Terrier. B. The dogC. The dishwasher D. The servant49. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Her friends are incredibly supportive.B. Renting a house is really a painful struggle.C. She is very grateful to the ones off
30、ering her family helpD. She and her three sisters were deeply loved by all their friends and familyBAccording to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. In a new study on the topic, Phipps has identified fou
31、r sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal(胎儿的) position. He found that this is by far the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of snoozers sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more
32、 we curl up(蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log. People who sleep with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this
33、 way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.Yearner(向往型的) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in
34、 this styleon their backs with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting great results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the c
35、hallenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is th
36、is the oddest of sleep styles, it also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good nights sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”50. Wh
37、ich of the following is the best title of the passage?A. A Good Nights Sleep Sets You Up for the Following DayB. Your Personality Depends a Lot on How You Sleep at NightC. How You Sleep at Night Affects What You Do the Next DayD. Which Sleeping Position Helps You Sleep Comfortably51. Which of the fo
38、llowing pictures is the fetal position? A. B. C. D. 52. The underlined word “rigid is closest in meaning to “_”.A. stubborn B. flexible C. comfortable D. strange53. Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A. The fetal position B. The log positionC. The yearner pos
39、ition D. The freefaller positionCThese days, there are very few wild animals left in the UK. The wolves have gone. The bears have been hunted to extinction. Fortunately, there are a few badgers(獾)- Oh, well, actually, not for long as the British government has just decided to kill them too! But why?
40、Badgers are fascinating creatures. The black and white mammals live underground in “setts”, which they dig out of the earth. They are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves. The problem is that some badgers carry “Bovine Tuberculosis” (TB), an infectious disease which
41、can cause TB in some other animals, including cattle.For farmers, this is a serious issue. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6,000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in 2010, more than 30,000 animals were destroyed. Its expensive too. Bovine TB costs the UK about 100 million per year. And some bel
42、ieve that the disease could end up costing the economy 9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle. So, after much debate, the government has agreed to a badger cull（杀戮）. This will mean about 30,000 of the
43、 innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman admitted that there was “great strength of feeling” about it, but said, “I believe this is the right way forward.”Of course, many are against the measure, including conservationists and animal rights a
44、ctivists. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldnt work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. Furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farm
45、s during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.Most ordinary people are against the measure too. A survey suggests about two-thirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender. One of the alternatives to
46、the cull involves using vaccine(疫苗) on badgers. However, this costs an average of 2,250 per year per square kilometer. Trapping and shooting badgers costs 2,500 per year, but shooting free-running badgers only costs about 200 per year (per square kilometer).So, with that in mind, its easy to see how
47、 the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!54. Why does the government want to kill the badgers?A. Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.B. Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.C. Because they almost wiped out an entire population
48、 of cattle.D. Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense.55. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.B. In the following four decades, 9 billion will be spent on TBC. Based on the surve
49、y, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against killing the badgers.D. Caroline Spelman thought badgers should be culled despite peoples strong reaction.56. Who is strongly for killing the badgers according to the passage?A. The government. B. Most ordinary people.C. Conserva
50、tionists. D. Animal rights activists.57. What is the authors attitude toward governments decision?A. Supportive B. Critical C. Doubtful D. UnconcernedDMy daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends
51、 to finish with a masters degree. Her performance in general is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has to get over. Will that help or
52、hurt her chances for admission? - DeborahFirst let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colle
53、ges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy.You also asked if your dau
54、ghter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing”(透露) a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal s
55、tatement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also prove an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self
56、-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability. - Ms. KravisMy son is still very young but he has an expressive language disorder. It took me more than two years of speech therapy for him to be able to learn to speak at the same level as his 2-year-old brother. He is very smart, but
57、he struggles with language. Unfortunately, many schools require four semesters of foreign language to get in or to graduate. Can these requirements ever be waived for someone like my son?The answer is yes. There are many colleges that do not require foreign language skills to enter or graduate. In t
58、he K&W Guide we provide information about college entrance requirements, course substitution or waiver policies, and college graduation requirements. The operative words in your post were “my son is still very young.” Learning is a process and is developmental and there are a number of years for you
59、r son between age 8 and age 18. Teach your son to find his passion, focus on his strengths and continue to remind him that he is “very smart,” and there will be options for us without foreign language.- Ms. Kravis58. What do we know about Deborahs daughter?A. She is applying for a masters degree. B.
60、 She has difficulty overcoming her learning disability.C. Her disability prevents her studying well.D. She is very active in her high school.59. What is Ms. Kravis attitude toward ones declaring his/her leaning disability?A. Supportive B. Opposed C. Doubtful D. Indifferent60. The underlined word “wa
61、ived” in the passage probably means “_”.A. replaced B. obtained C. abandoned D. performed第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从下框的AF选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。A. Be motivated. B. Wake up early. C. Divide your time into several parts. D. List the tasks you want to complete. E. Limit the time you spend o
62、n each task. F. Make your time arrangement flexible. Time is the most precious thing in your life. If you were to use your time wisely, you would be much more likely to acquire whatever you are after. Here are some tips on how to manage your time. 61.One of the reasons people waste time is that they
63、 dont know what to do or which task to finish first. When you have a list of tasks that youre going to follow, you are very likely to know how to value your time. In addition, writing allows your mind to absorb your goals and helps you perform them with less effort. 62Lets suppose you have to write
64、a blog post but cant come up with anything to write about. In such a case you have to be flexible enough to shift to another task quickly and come back to writing later. If you have important work on your computer when the electricity suddenly goes out, you can immediately do another offline task wh
65、ile waiting for the electricity to come back on. 63 Do you know what activity takes up more time than any other? Its sleeping! If you sleep more than 8 hours a night, you seriously need to examine your sleeping habits to save some lost time. When you wake up late, you have less time available and be
66、come less motivated to attack your to-do list. You might even end up doing your work until the day is over. Seven to eight hours of sleep is great. Dont sleep more than that. 64 Lets suppose you need one hour to write a blog post. In such a case, you should never spend more than 1 hour and 15 minute
67、s writing. If it happens, stop writing and move to another task. It will build discipline and youll soon be surprised at how much you learn to fit in the limited time you allow yourself. 65Sometimes you might delay your time because you dont really believe that the plan you are following will lead y
68、ou anywhere. In such a case, the problem is not with time arrangement but with your motivation levels or even the plan itself. Examine your plan well to make sure that youre motivated to pursue it. Therefore, it is important to keep yourself motivated. 第II卷第三部分写作(共三节, 满分55分)第一节单词拼写(共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分1
