For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Maddie and her mother,
14、Stephanie, thought the screams for help were just Boy Scouts (童子军）around. But then they saw the scene: the boy scouts surrounding a hiker who (21) _ (take) a scary Six-meter drop in an area near the Hoover Dam, a fall that left his right arm with a bone (22) _ (stick) out. The mother and the daughte

Maddie and her mother were nearly a kilometer into their 18-kilometer river trip in Black Canyon when they pulled onto some sand. The boy scouts, (24)
16、 _ had called 9,1, had tied a loose bandage around the hiker, broken arm to stop the bleeding. Maddie knew another bandage was needed and thought of her lifeguard training.

22、tation, are considered to be the _33_ force behind the animals re-prosperity. The number of panda _34_ in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live there. Restoring the pandas habitat has given them back their space with food available to them.Apart from
23、 giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animals numbers have shrunk severely - dropping from around 1 million to a(n) _35_ 65,000 - 72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s - due to commercial poaching (偷猎). Rigoro

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.How to help your kids find a purpose? You dont have to start with
28、 the really big questions. Quick, what s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesnt _41_ our kids dont have questions or need answers.“The sense that your personal life is _42_ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger，director of th
29、e laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that，it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more _43_, more caring, more helpful, more resilient (坚初), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.But helping your kids find meaning doesnt m
30、ean parents have to _44_ all lifes ancient mysteries, Steger says. The _45_ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We can start with trying to _46_ how,
31、 today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”With kids in _47_ school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they _48_.”
32、 To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, “You can ask questions about what they think their best _49_ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone f
33、eel better, felt _50_ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kids _51_ way of being in and contributing to the world.”In middle school, says Steger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that
34、might be _52_ different from the ones they have always assumed were true.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your childrens sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been _53_. By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children
35、 see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about _54_.” But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have _
36、55_, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.41. A. intendB. meanC. remainD. hope42. A. significantB. decisiveC. meaningfulD. useful43. A. confidentB. cautiousC. intelligentD. special44. A. discoverB. prese

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A
40、)Researchers have developed a method to activate electronic implants in the body and eliminate bacterial infections using a wireless signal. When triggered by remote technology, the device delivers heat to infected tissue. And it could lead to technologies that enable drugs andtreatment to be delive
41、red to patients at the press of a button.The technology was developed by researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Illinois. Mice were given electronic implants that, when a signal was sent, heated up to treat tissue that was infected with staphylococcus, which can cause
42、 life-threatening infections of the blood. Tissues collected from the mice 24 hours after treatment showed no sign of the infection, while the device dissolved in 15 days, proving it can not only treat infections but also be disposed of easily.The research, which also eliminated E. coli bacteria, wa
43、s published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Each device, made of silk and magnesium (镁元素)，harmlessly dissolved in the animals after the tests. The heating device in the implants has a resistor and power-receiving coil made of magnesium, and the magnesium is wrapped in packet
44、of silk, keeping it safe and controlling its dissolution time. The ability of the device to dissolve is important, as it means such implants would not need to be removed. Implantable medical devices normally use non-degradable materials that have limited operational lifetimes and must eventually be
45、removed or replaced. But these new wireless therapy devices can handle the surgical process, and can then dissolve in minutes or weeks, depending on the time needed.This is an important demonstration step forward for the development of on-demand medial devices that can be turned on remotely to perfo
46、rm a therapeutic function in a patient and then safely disappear after their use, requiring no retrieval,” said senior author Fiorenzo Omenetto, professor of biomedical engineering at Tufts School of Engineering. “These wireless strategies could help manage post-surgical infection, for example, or p
47、ave the way for eventual Wi-Fi drug delivery.”56.What is special function about the new discovery?A. It can favourably be used while-treatment stage of a disease.B. The device has offered drugs at the press of a button.C. Implantable devices often use materials that have limited operational lifetime
48、s.D. The implant can be controlled to treat infection and will dissolve later in the body.57. Staphylococcus is most probably _.A. a virus which can cost a person his lifeB. a therapy which can make a persons life longerC. a device which can cure a persons diseaseD. a process which can lead to the i
49、nfection of a virus58. We can infer from the passage that _.A. Wi-Fi promises a new way of treatmentB. research brings about new discoveriesC. technology offers new opportunitiesD. medicine requires persistent efforts(B)Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which
50、products and services that are in limited supply are shared among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad (无数）of services, including labor, professional transportati
51、on, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all those prices makes up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a gro
52、up of arbitrarily individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction (交易). This definition is, of cour
53、se, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount but the amount and quality of the product or service to be ex
54、changed, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, bot
55、h buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that make up of the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.59.According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _.A. Labor and educationB. transportat
56、ion and insuranceC. Utilities and repairsD. products and services60. All the following are the factors in the complete understanding of price except _.A. instructions that come with a productB. the quantity of a productC. the quality of a productD. guarantees that cover a product61.In the last line
57、of the passage, the word “they” refers to _.A. Return privilegesB. guarantees on the product or serviceC. Buyers and sellerD. delivery and credit terms62.The paragraph following this passage will most likely discuss _.A. unusual ways to evaluate prices of productsB. types of payment plans for produc
58、t and serviceC. theories about how products affect different levels of societyD. how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value(C)There will eventually come a day when the New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate.
59、“Sometime in the future,” the papers publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia (怀旧) for ink on paper, there are plenty of reasons to abandon print. The infrastructure (基础设施) required to make a physical newspaper - printing presses, delivery trucks - isnt just expensive; its excessive at a time when onli
60、ne-only competitors dont have the same set of financial restrictions. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad sales still overshadow their online and mobile counterparts, revenue (收入) from print is still declining.Cost may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to elimi
61、nate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.Peretti says the Times shouldnt waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them,” he said, but if you
62、 discontinue it, youre going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”Sometimes thats worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming (流媒体). “It was seen as a mistake,” he said. The move turned out to be f
63、oresighted. “If I were in charge at the Times, I wouldnt pick a year to end print,” Peretti said “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.”The most loyal customers would still get the product they favour, the idea goes, and theyd feel like that they were helping maintain the q
64、uality of something they believe in. “So if youre overpaying for print, you could feel like that you were helping,” Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.” In other words, if youre going to print product, make it for the people
65、who are already obsessed with it, which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year - more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.“Its a really hard thing to do and its a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesnt have a legacy
66、business, Peretti remarked. “But were going to have questions like that where we have things were doing that dont make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, its better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.63.The New York Times is considering ending its print
67、 edition partly due to _.A. the high cost of operationB. the pressure from its investorsC. the complaints from its readersD. the increasing online ad sales64.Peretti suggests that in face of the present situation the Times should _.A. seek new sources of readershipB. end the print edition for goodC.
68、 aim for efficient managementD. strategic adjustments65. Peretti believes that in a changing world _.A. legacy businesses are becoming outdatedB. cautiousness helps problem-solvingC. traditional luxuries can stay unaffectedD. aggressiveness better meets challenge66. Which of the following would be t
69、he best title of the text?A. Shift to Online Newspapers All At Once.B. Cherish the Newspapers Still in Your Hand.C. Make Your Print Newspapers a Luxury Good. D. Keep Your Newspapers Forever m Fashion.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given m t
70、he box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Parental involvement makes up for what schools are not able to do.B. They have a wide range of activities after school.C. Talking with children is a very simple task.D. A number of recent studies rem
71、ind us that parents are even more important than schools.E. Engaging in these sorts of conversations has a greater impact on educational accomplishment. F. Recent research has indicated exactly what kinds of talk at home encourage childrens success at school.It is found that American students spend
72、less than 15% of their time in school. 67 _. A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement - checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home - has a more powerful infl
73、uence on students, academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, reports that the effort put forth by parents reading stories aloud, is devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third st
74、udy concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.68 _. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, dont need to buy expensive educational toys or d
75、igital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage. They dont need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk. 69 _. For example, a study conducted by researchers at th
76、e UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics founds that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as powerful in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal (双向的) back-and-forth gives children a chan
77、ce to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thought and opinions matter.The content of parents conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, report rese
78、archers from the University of Chicago. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization” - setting ex
79、pectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. 70 _.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Now another American education icon ma
80、y be disappearing: the hardbound textbook. More and more school districts are replacing traditional textbooks with electronic ones. Electronic textbooks are usually accessed either through an online server or are downloaded to student laptops.In North Texas, Plano and Irving schools are introducing
81、e-books into a few classrooms, and Lancaster school officials also are considering them. But no local district appears to be going as far as Forney. The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-books in every classroom for grades five to twelve.Officials point out several reason
82、s for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of
83、the students in the district is expected to double within five years. Its difficult to know textbook needs in advance and some students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a “blank” laptop in a few hours.Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but here
84、 are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because theyre buying the instructional material. That may change as more and more districts move towards e-books.Todays students have little trouble adjusting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley,
85、 who has taught at the Academy of Irving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers.“Its harder for people who are right around my age and older.” said Ms. Cooley, 36. “Im laptop-savvy, so I was ready for it, but those that arent are a little worrying.V.

91、 months before textbooks arrive. Finally, adjusting to e-books may help to reduce cost. However, it worries some old teachers. (55 words)听力文本I. Listening Comprehension Section ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a qu
92、estion will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1. W: Its nice of you
93、to come here to pick me up, Mr. Smith.M: Dont mention it. How was the flight?Question: Where does the conversation most probably take place?2. W: I wonder if there is a service charge for our meal.M: I think so. The menu said the service charge is 10%.Question: How much is the service charge if the
94、food costs 50 dollars?3. M: Here is your room key and the checkout time is 12 noon.W: Thanks for reminding me. Question: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers? 4. M: Hi, Jenny. How are you getting on with your packing?W: Im still deciding what to take with me.Question: What
95、 can we learn about Jenny?5. M: Everybody is here except John. Shall we start the meeting?W: If we wait for John. We might be here all night.Question: What does the woman mean?6. M: Im going to a party at Carols house. W: you cant be serious. Weve got two tests at school tomorrow. Question: How does

The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on y
99、our paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Well, I own a small data processing company, in which I employ about eight to ten workers. And the point I want to make has to do with trust. I know its p
100、ossible to force people to be 100% efficient. But I think when you do that, you lose confidence and trust. I let my employees use our equipment and make personal phone calls. They are more than welcome to decide what is right and wrong. Because I think you cant run a company by just giving orders to
101、 robots and watching them like big brother, right? I think you have to trust people and give them a little freedom. And also, as far as phone calls and all that go, I want my people to call home and check on their children and know their children are safe and sound. As a result, I have devoted emplo
102、yees who are willing to go that extra mile and I can honestly say they show up to work smiling. So I get more satisfaction and rewards by trusting my employees than by suspecting them of doing something wrong.（Listen again）Questions:11. Which of the following does the speaker allow his employees to
103、do?12. What result does the speaker expect to see under his management?13. What does the speaker consider important in running a small company?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Today, I will make a speech on zoos. Many people think zoos are cruel, and have no place in the mo
104、dern world. It is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function.Firstly, zoos are places of education. Zoos can help children to appreciate nature. Further more, research into animal behavior is done in zoos, and has increased our knowledge of zoology, genetics and even p
105、sycology. Above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animal.
