2、Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. It was a tradition for the schools old team to play against the _2_ team at the end of spring practice.

Here are some letters from our readers. Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestria
17、ns are probably the worst offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to their mobile phones, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to
18、 evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.Michael HoranI love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyc
19、lists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads. I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and, on being asked what he was doing, shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane on the road, but it is hardly used. The police do nothi
20、ng. What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them. Carol HarveyCyclists jump on and off pavements (which are
21、meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him. Other road users, including horse ri
22、ders, manage to obey the rules. So why not cyclists?Its about time they were registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim compensation. JMLWrite to Viewpoints of the newspaper.34. M
23、ichael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that _.A. walking while using phones hurts ones eyesB. some pedestrians are a threat to road safetyC. road accidents can actually be avoidedD. drivers should be polite to cyclists35. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should _.A. be provided with enough
24、roadsB. be made to pay less tax for cyclingC. be asked to ride on their own lanesD. be fined for laughing at policemen36. The three letters present viewpoints on _.A ways to improve road safetyB. the real source of road dangerC. measures to punish road offencesD. increased awareness of road rulesBTh
25、e Lifecycle of a T-shirtWe all probably have a lot of T-shirts, but do you ever stop and think about the influence of a T-shirt on the planet? Youd probably be surprised to learn whats involved in the lifecycle of just one T-shirt. There are 5 major stages:material, production, shipping, use and dis
26、posal (处理). The material stage involves farming, irrigating, fertilizing, harvesting and ginning. While cotton is a natural fiber (纤维) and not as harmful to the environment as man-made fibers, it still takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount
27、of water, and the use of pesticides (杀虫剂) is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming. Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4. 1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the US. Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the productio
28、n stage: spinning, knitting, bleaching, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc. these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants, and can eventually pollute groundwater. After the T-shirt is produced, it enters the transportation stag. This often i
29、nvolves overseas shipping. Take a look in your closet. Chances are that most of your cotton garments (衣服) are made in China or India. Garments can be shipped via plane, ship or truck, all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that CO2 emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1
30、. 15 pounds per mile. Once T-shirt reaches the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem like the least environmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times youve washed and dried your favorite T-shirt. Washing machines are certainly becoming more efficient. However, the average
31、 American household does 400 loads of laundry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers. The final stage of life is disposal. This release harmful emissions, or involves a landfill where cotton takes years
32、to break down. Current US records show that an estimated 15% of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills. We all need new clothes every once in a while, but lets all try to keep in mind what goes into the production of clothing. I
33、t has a real impact on the planet. There are a lot of things and you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and recycled clothes. If theyre too worn out to wear, cut them up and use them as cleaning rags. Donate them to charity or another organization that recycles textiles. When possible, make an
34、 effort to buy organic cotton. Turn down the thermostat (恒温器) on your washer, and line dry your clothes when the weather will allow it.37. The underlined phrase “takes a toll” probably means “_”.A. uses energyB. wastes waterC. has a bad effectD. takes a lot of time38 What can be inferred from this p
35、assage?A. The use stage is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages.B. Cotton clothes are buried because they are hard to break down.C. The clothing cost is relatively low in China and India.D. The production process may affect water safety.39. What is the purpose of this article?A. To i
36、ntroduce the five stages in the lifecycle of clothing.B. To persuade people to purchase more organic cotton.C. To promote eco-friendly actions related to clothes.D. To encourage people to donate clothes to charity.CEudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato
37、and Aristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失)in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modem language: happiness.When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives,it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. W
38、e tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, he
39、avily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain.
40、 It is very possible to be fulfilled andat the same timeunder pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable (易怒的)mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture, for its tricky to speak of being happy
41、yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering. However, such a combination is readily accommodated within the respected and noble-sounding idea of Eudaimonia.The word encourages us to trust that many of lifes most worthwhile projects will sometimes be in conflict with contentment, and yet will be worth pursui
42、ng. Properly exploring our professional talents, managing a household, keeping a relationship going, creating a new business venture or engaging in politics. none of these goals are likely to leave us cheerful and grinning on a daily basis. They will, in fact, involve us in all manner of challenges
43、that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒)and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, well have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop im
44、agining that we are aiming for a pain-free existenceand then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. Well know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: were striving to do justice to our full human potential.40. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” fro
45、m the passage?A. It was first created by two Greek philosophers.B. It has received a lot of attention from the public.C. It still has some shortfalls that need to be corrected.D. It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.41. According to Paragraph 3, happiness .A. is the opposite of f
46、ulfillmentB. is free from physical or mental painC. stresses the psychological differenceD. serves as a respected and noble life goal42. We can learn from the passage that .A. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blamingB. goals that wound and weaken us result in happinessC. challenges leadin
47、g to contentment are worth undertakingD. feeling fulfilled means we should avoid tough situations43. The passage encourages the readers to .A. find fulfillment with all effortsB. seek for a pain-free existenceC. keep optimistic whatever happensD. balance happiness and suffering第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,共10分)根据
48、短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. _44_ In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay
49、it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. _45_ Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never let
50、ting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works. _46_ Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail aga
51、in and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious (无意识的) take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. _47_but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally e
52、xhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind._48_Though I w
53、orked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.A. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. B. We do everything we can to get ourselves out of this glo
54、omy situation.C. We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.D. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions.E. The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job firs
55、t.F. Whats more, making use of your unconsciousness wisely also proves effective in tackling difficult tasks.G. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.第三部分:书面表达(共三节,27分)第一节(共4小题:第50、51小题各2分,第52小题3分,第53小题5分:共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回
56、答问题。Good Taste of KnowledgeThe aim of education or culture is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. The cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to lo
57、ve and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge. Nothing is more annoying than to meet a person at a party whose mind is crammed (填塞) full with historical dates and figures and who is extremely well-posted on current international affairs, but whose attitudes or points of view are all wrong. I hav
58、e met such people. They do have great academic knowledge, but no good judgment or taste. Being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. In speaking of a scholar, the Chinese generally distinguish between their sc
59、holarship (学术成就), conduct and taste.An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste comes charm. Now, to have taste requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, the independence of judgment, and the unwillingness to be affe
60、cted by any form of power. When a man is wrong, he is wrong, and there is no need for one to be impressed by a great name or by the number of books that he has read and we havent. Taste, then. is closely associated with courage. as the Chinese always associated dan (“胆”) with shi (“识”) And courage o
61、r independence of judgment, as we know, is such a rare virtue among humankind. We see this intellectual courage or independence during the childhood of all thinkers and writers who in later life amount to anything. Such a person refuses to be impressed by a philosophic vogue or a fashionable theory,
62、 even though it is backed by the greatest name. this is taste in knowledge. No doubt such intellectual courage or independence of judgment requires a certain childish. nave confidence in oneself, but this self is the only thing that one can cling to. and the moment a student gives up-his right of pe

Only from the grass-roots level can we accumulate more experience. And it will sublimate the knowledge we learne
75、d in the university. But some people dont think so. They think that students graduated from famous schools have a high starting point, so it is beneficial for them to find a high starting point job that matches their knowledge. Moreover, this work can also provide them with the resources and experie

However, if they can get a job from a high starting point, I believe that these graduates can play a bigger role and make greater achievements.
