Grammar and vocabulary Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for
15、 the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. It was a very dark street. I was on my way home 21 a friends party and decided to take a short cut. I just turned the corner from the main street and started walking towards the light at the end of the short street. Suddenly, almost by magic
16、, I thought, there was someone standing at the far end, under the lamplight. Most people 22 have been frightened, perhaps terrified, but I wasnt at all frightened. Perhaps I should have been. There was someone there. I felt somehow that the personand I couldnt see 23 it was a man or a womandid not m
17、ean to harm me. 24 I wasnt frightened, I still wasnt sure what to do. Should I walk on towards the end of the street and towards the light and towards the person? Or should I go back the way I had come? I decided to walk on towards the light.The “guide”, as I called the person later, stood and waite
18、d 25 I was halfway down the street, and then started walking ahead of me. Even now I couldnt describe him or her: he or she seemed 26 (dress) in a long gown, but there was a dim light all around him or her. Certainly I felt safe and followed the person down several streets that I did not know. It wa
19、s a part of town, I realized, that I 27 (warn) about, but nothing happened to me, and as soon as we were near the bright lights of the main road, my “guide” just 28 (disappear).The following day I heard that a young person had been killed 29 (walk) home alone not very far from 30 I was that night. I
20、 dont care what other people think. I am sure that the “guide” was my guardian angel and that he or she looked after me. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. weakenB. ensur
21、eC. considerablyD. benefitsE. independentlyF. apply G. aggressiveH. conflictsI. potentialJ. subjectsK. proposed Obstacles can be overcome, say trade experts The main problem in the EU-UK talks on a trade deal is resolvable so long as neither side treats the matter as a question of high principle, ac
22、cording to trade experts. German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned on Wednesday that a trade deal must 31 a “level playing field, not only for today, but also for tomorrow ”. But British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday evening that Britain would never sign up to automatically having to
23、32 future EU rules in areas such as environmental regulations and labour standards in order to keep the 33 of a trade deal. Nonetheless, experts said there was the 34 for negotiation between Britains position, a willingness to swear not to 35 regulatory standards as they stand at the end of its Brex
24、it (British exit) transition period, and the EUs quest to ensure that these trade deals work well for ever. The “landing zone” for any deal would likely ensure that the UK was not able to weaken the effectiveness of European regulations and keep the advantages of zero tariffs (关税) in goods: the main
25、 feature of the 36 free trade agreement. David Henig, UK director of the European Centre For International Political Economy, said what was needed to be agreed were specific 37 that the trade deal covered and the process for dealing with possible 38 . The only reason that this should spoil the trade
26、 deal talks, said Mr. Henig, was if one or both sides keep their positions on a matter of principle. Since the start of the talks, the EUs concern has been to avoid having a(n) 39 competitor close to its single market, seizing an advantage through lax (宽松的) environmental regulations and labour stand
27、ards. The EU has already moved 40 on state aid. Brussels entered the negotiations saying the UK should continue to in effect operate the state aid system under the supervision of the European Court of Justice. It has since agreed to an approach based upon agreeing common principles with Britain. III
28、. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Did Tea and Beer Bring About Industrialization? Professor Macfarlane has spent decades try
29、ing to understand the mystery of the Industrial Revolution. Why did it happen in Britain at the end of the 18th century?Macfarlane compares the question as a puzzle. He 41 that there were about 20 different factors and all of them needed to be present before the revolution could happen. The chief 42
30、 can be found in history textbooks. For industry to 43 , there needed to be the technology and power to drive factories, large urban populations to provide cheap labor, a 44 economy, and a political system that allowed this to happen. All these factors must have been necessary but not sufficient to
31、cause the revolution. Most historians, however, are 45 that one or two missing factors are needed to solve the puzzle. The missing factors, Macfarlane supposes, are tea and beer.Historians had noticed one interesting factor around the mid-18th century that required the 46 . Between 1650 and 1740, th
32、e population in Britain didnt increase, but then it grew rapidly. The population burst seemed to happen at the right time to provide labor for the Industrial Revolution. But why? When it started, it was 47 efficient to have people living close together. People got diseases, particularly from human w
33、aste. Some historical records 48 that there was a change in the incidence (发病率）of waterborne disease at that time. Macfarlane thought whatever the British were drinking must have been important in 49 disease. The English drank beer for a long time, and they were protected by the strong antibacterial
34、 agent in hops (啤酒花), which were added to make beer. But in the late 17th century a tax was 50 on malt, a basic ingredient of beer. The poor turned to water and gin, and in the 1720s the death rate began to rise again. Then it suddenly dropped. What caused this?Macfarlane looked to Japan, which was
35、also developing large cities at the same time. Waterborne diseases were far fewer in Japan than in Britain. Could it be the 51 of tea in their culture? Macfarlane then noticed the history of tea in Britain provided an extraordinary 52 of dates. Tea was relatively expensive until Britain started dire
36、ct trade with China in the early 18th century. By the 1740s, about the time the infant death rate was falling, and the drink was common. Macfarlane 53 the fact that water had to be boiled, together with the stomach-purifying properties of tea so clearly 54 in books, meant the breast milk provided by
37、 mothers was healthier than it had ever been. No other European nation drank tea so often as the British, which, by Macfarlanes 55 , pushed other nations out of the race for the Industrial Revolution. 41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,
41、C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just readA The Art of HealingIf no further evidence available of the sophistication of China in the Tang Dynasty, then a look at Chinese medicine would be sufficient. At the western end of the Eurasian
42、continent, the Roman empire disappeared, and there was nowhere new to claim the important position of the cultural and political centre of the world. In fact, for a few centuries, the centre happened to be the capital of the Tang Empire, which boasted its national health service, and Chinese medicin
43、e under the Tang was far ahead of European medicine. The organizational context of health and healing was structured to a degree that had never happened in China before and found a similar one nowhere else.An Imperial Medical Office had been inherited from previous dynasties: it was immediately rest
44、ructured and staffed with directors, chief and assistant medical directors, pharmacists and managers of medicinal herb gardens. Within the first two decades after enforcing its rule, the Tang administration set up one central and several provincial medical colleges to train students in one or all of
45、 the departments of medicine, acupuncture (针灸) and physical therapy. Physicians were given positions in governmental medical service only after passing qualifying exams. They were paid according to the number of cures they had effected during the past year. In 723, Emperor Xuanzong personally compos
46、ed a formulary of prescriptions（方剂集）recommended to him by an imperial pharmacist and sent it to all the provincial medical schools. An Arabic traveller, who visited China in 851, noted with surprise that prescriptions from the emperors formulary were posted on notice boards at crossroads to enhance
47、the welfare of the population.The government protected people from potentially harmful medical practice. The Tang legal code was the first in China to include laws concerned with harmful medical practice. For example, to treat patients for money without following standard procedures was defined as d
48、eceiving combined with theft and had to be tried as theft. If such therapies resulted in death of a patient, the healer was to be sent to a remote place for years. In case a physician purposely failed to practice according to the standards, he was to be tried as murdering. Even if no harm resulted,
49、he was to be punished. 56. In the 1st paragraph, the writer draws particular attention to _. A. the lack of medical knowledge in China prior to the Tang Dynasty B. the Western interest in Chinese medicine during the Tang Dynasty C. the systematic approach taken to medical issues during the Tang Dyna
50、sty D. the differences between Chinese and Western cultures during the Tang Dynasty57. During the Tang Dynasty, a government doctors salary depended upon _. A. the effectiveness of his treatmentB. the wealth of his medical experienceC. the number of physicians he had trainedD. the width of his medic
51、al knowledge58. Which of the following was thought to be against the law during the Tang Dynasty? A. A qualified doctors refusal to practise. B. The use of unapproved medical practice.C. The death of a patient under medical treatment. D. The receipt of money for medical treatment.59. What is this pa
52、ssage mainly talking about？ A. The differences existed between ancient Chinese and European medicine.B. The government of the Tang Dynasty set up medical colleges to train students.C. Emperor Xuanzong published a formulary of prescriptions.D. The national medical system in Tang Dynasty put Europes i

65、t heated in education. On the one hand, there is an army of people convinced that traditional skills of reading and writing are declining. On the other hand, a large number of progressives protest that literacy is much more complicated than a simple technical mastery of reading and writing. This sec
66、ond position is supported by most of the relevant academic work over the past 20 years. These studies argue that literacy can only be understood in its social and technical context. In Renaissance England, for example, many more people could read than could write, and within reading there was a dist
67、inction between those who could read print and those who could manage the more difficult task of reading manuscripts (手稿). An understanding of these earlier periods helps us understand todays “crisis in literacy” debate.It seems that there has been an overall decline in some aspects of reading and w
68、ritingyou only need to compare the newspapers of today with those of 50 years ago to see a clear decrease in vocabulary and simplification of sentence patterns. While reading a certain amount of writing is as crucial as it has ever been in industrial societies, it is doubtful whether a fully extende
69、d grasp of either is as necessary as it was 40 years ago. While print holds much of its authority as a source of topical information, television has increasingly taken this role. The ability to write fluent letters has been weakened by the telephone and research suggests that for many people the onl
70、y use for writing, outside formal education, is making shopping lists.The decision of some car factories to issue their instructions to mechanics as a video pack rather than as a handbook might end the automatic link between industrialization and literacy. On the other hand, it is also the case that
71、 ever-increasing numbers of people make their living out of writing, which is better rewarded than ever before. Schools are generally seen as institutions where books rulefilms and recorded sound have almost no place, but it is not clear that this opposition is appropriate. While you may not need to
72、 read and write to watch television, you certainly need to be able to read and write in order to make programs. Those who work in new media are anything but literate. The traditional oppositions between old and new media are inadequate for understanding the world which a young child now encounters.
73、There is evidence that children are mastering reading and writing in order to get on to the Internet. Nevertheless, there is a crisis in literacy and it would be foolish to ignore it. To understand that literacy may be declining because it is less central to some aspects of everyday life is not the
74、same as reluctantly accepting this state of affairs. The production of school work with the new technologies could be a significant stimulus to literacy. How should these new technologies be introduced into the schools? It isnt enough to call for computers in every classroom. They will stand unused
75、unless they are properly combined with the educational culture.63. When discussing the debate on literacy in education, the writer notes that_.A. children can read and write as well as they used toB. academic work has improved over the last 20 yearsC. there is evidence that literacy is related to ex
76、ternal factorsD. peoples reading skills are more important than writing skills64. What is the writers main point in the 4th paragraph?A. The printed word is both gaining and losing power.B. The car factories decision brings benefits to labors.C. Those who do manual jobs no longer need to read.D. New
77、 media offers the best career for the literate.65. According to the passage, what is the main problem that schools face today?A. How to teach students the skills of reading and writing.B. How to apply new technologies to classroom teaching. C. Raising money to purchase technological equipment.D. Man
78、aging the widely differing levels of literacy among pupils.66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Modern communication has completely replaced writing letters.B. New media has the potential to promote students literacy.C. New technologies are inadequate for us to know about childrens world.D.
79、Current newspapers use more complicated sentence patterns than before.Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. People all over the world a
80、re sparing no effort to lengthen their lifespan.B. So he decided to take a test to assess the length of his telomeres.C. We now know that telomere length is highly heritable.D. They have repeating units of DNA at their ends that stop them from separating.E. If this shortening happens slowly, it sugg
81、ests that your body is wearing well.F. The links between telomere length and lifestyle choices arent as straightforward as we thought.When David Nurse turned 30, he wanted to find out how his biological age compared with his real one. He hoped that the ultra-healthy lifestyle he advocates to players
82、 had kept his own body young and healthy, too. 67 It is reported that his biological age seems to be 28 years. Two years later, he took another test. “I was down to 25, so that was great,” he said.If you google “telomeres”, you are likely to find them described as an ageing clock. They are parts of
83、DNA at the ends of each chromosome（染色体）that become shorter every time a cell divides. 68 If you are a 60-year-old with telomeres as long as those of an average 50-year-old, your risk of death is equal to that of someone 10 years younger or so. So many people want this information, and many companies
84、 offer tests like the one Nurse took, together with various pills claimed to lengthen your telomeres and, in turn, your lifespan.If only it were that simple. Weve discovered that telomeres are an unreliable ageing clock, which raises questions about the effectiveness of ageing tests based on them. 6
85、9 In fact, long telomeres can even be bad news. Nevertheless, there are some surprising ways we can look after our telomeres. In1982, Elizabeth Blackburn at the UC, Berkeley, and Jack Szostak at Harvard Medical School worked out the puzzle of how chromosomes remain unchanged when cells divide. 70 Th
86、e pair called these “telomeres”. Later, they discovered each time a cell divides, its telomeres become shorter, like the ticking of a biological clock. These discoveries won Blackburn and Szostaka the Nobel prize in 2009. Hype soon followed and researchers began piling into the field. However, as we
87、 find out more about telomeres, the mythology that has built up around them is starting to break. 第II卷 （共40分）IV. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Studen
88、ts in the United States are assigned to classes for different goals. Those in the more advantaged tracks and programs not only encounter more curricular material; they are also typically asked to learn the material differently. They have opportunities to think, investigate, and create. They are chal
89、lenged to explore. In Keeping Track, Jeannie Oakes describes the way in which teachers differently frame their work for students in different tracks.Teachers of high-track classes describe their class goals in terms of higher-order thinking and independent learning, for example: “Logical thought pro
90、cess”; “Scientific reasoning and logic”. Students view of what they learned in class reflect these goals. High-track students said they learned: “To understand concepts and ideas and to experiment with them, and to work independently”; “How to express myself through writing and compose my thoughts i
91、n a logical manner and express my creativity.”Conversely, in low-track classes, teachers described few academic goals for their students and none related to thinking logically, critically or independently. They often focused on low-level skills, for example: “Better use of time”; “Punctuality and se
92、lf-discipline”; “Good work habits”. And low-track students said they had learned how to: “Behave in class”; “How to shut up”; “How to listen and follow the directions of the teacher.”This phenomenon is widespread. In his research in New York City, Jonathan Kozol described how, within integrated scho
93、ols, minority children were disproportionately assigned to special education class that occupy small corners and split classrooms, while gifted and talented classrooms occupied the most splendid spaces filled with books and computers, where they learned, in the childrens words, “logical thinking,” a
94、nd “problem solving”. Students were recommended for these classes by their teachers and parents as well as by their test scores. Kozol wrote in his notes,“Six girls, four boys, nine white, one Chinese. I am glad they have this class. But what about the others? Arent there ten black children in the s
95、chool who could enjoy this also?” V.

110、 But she has been assigned to a New York office now. I dont know when I can see her again.Q: What can we infer from the conversation? Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and t
111、he conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on
112、the following passage.Researchers are developing ways to increase rice production in Africa as part of efforts to fight hunger. Their work was discussed at the African Rice Congress in Cameroon last month. Experts say 60 percent of the thirty million tons of rice used in Africa is imported from Asia
113、 every year.They estimate that Africa spends $5 billion on rice imports every year. And yet the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says there are still rice shortages on the continent.Rice production was reduced in some countries after the economic crisis of the 1990s. Samantana Mark i
114、s director general of Cameroons rice production company. He says that with the beginning of the crisis, African countries stopped making investments in rice production and in the marketing of rice. Issues like climate change and extreme temperatures have slowed rice production, especially in areas s
115、outh of the Saharan desert. Plant disease is also a problem. But some African researchers say they have developed rice plants that can grow in areas with little rain fall.Nigerian-born Adekoya Madinat works with the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He said,“With this research we try to see
116、 how much water exactly is needed for rice production and try to see which genes are actually involved during the event of droughts. So these genes can be used to develop drought-resistant varieties that can be planted with the minimum of water and we still have very good rice production”.Robert Gue
117、i works for the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization. He says that investments in rice production should be a top issue for African governments seeking to end hunger and poverty. (Listen again, please.)Questions:11. How much rice do African countries import from Asia every year? 12. Whats the most
118、important thing African governments should do to end hunger? 13. What does the passage mainly tell us? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Supernanny is an excellent TV show, which basically films a family who are having problems dealing with their naughty children. At the st
119、art of the show, the supernanny arrives at the family home and observes the daily routine. The parents are usual worn out by their childrens bad behavior and dont know how to discipline them. The children talk back to their parents, dont do what they are told and dont show them any respect.Then the
120、supernanny talks to the parents about the situation and suggests changes they should make to help them sort out the problems and bring up their children better. It must be hard to tell two adults that they arent doing things right but she is always completely honest with them.She spends time helping
121、 the parents to put her ideas into practice. Shes firm but friendly and doesnt put up with any bad behaviour. She doesnt believe in giving children a beating - instead she sends them to the “naughty corner” when they behave badly and gets them to think about their behavior. Then the family continue
122、without her help for a week while she watches the result from a television monitor. Things usually start off well but sometimes are in disorder again after a day or two. Finally, she goes back to visit the family, talks to them about the results and gives them some more advice. The parents and the c
123、hildren hug her and thank her for helping them in the end.Its entertaining to see how badly behaved the children are at first and how a few simple rules help to transform the situation. Id recommend the show to anyone with young children because I think there is some useful advice for parents about
124、how to bring up their own children. (Listen again, please.) Questions:14. Whats the duty of a supernanny? 15. Why does a family need a supernanny? 16. What is the speakers intention? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.Julie: Trevor, what are we going to include in the pr
125、esentation?Trevor: Well , do you think we ought to give some historical background?Julie: Oh, no.definitely not . we wont have time!Trevor: Ok, but I think we should say something about the geographical location, because not a lot of people know where the islands are.Julie: Yes, Ill take notes, shal
126、l I?Trevor: So. geographical location. Julie: Then we ought to give an overview of the whole educational system. Shouldnt we say something about the economy?Trevor: No, Dr. White said we shouldnt go into that sort of detail.Julie: But its pretty important when you think about it., you know, because
127、it does influence the educational system.Trevor: Lets think about that one later, shall we?Julie: Ok.so. a general overview of education.Trevor: Of course . and then the role of English language.Julie: No, that goes in the language policy discussion. dont you remember?Trevor: All right. Those are th
128、e topics were going to be covering.Julie: Yeah, we need to think about what to prepare. Dr. White said he wanted us to use plenty of visuals and things and we might as well try them out when were not being assessed.Trevor: Well, we need a map of course.Julie: Probably two.one of the islands.Trevor:
129、And one of West Australia.Julie: Well, the West Australia one is no problem. There is one in the Resource Room.Trevor: Oh yeah, of course the Resource Room; the islands are going to be more of a problem.Julie: Tell you what. theres a very clear map of Perth in that tourist brochure I showed you last
130、 week. Do you remember it?Trevor: Oh, yeah. Thats right. We can use the tourist brochure.Julie: We also need statistics. and some different things.Trevor: Why dont we search them on the Internet？Julie: Good idea. You are in charge of it.Trevor: Look, Julie, its almost time for our lectures. We can m
