Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.(A)Are you on a diet? Then maybe you should consider (25)_(sit) by the window the next time you eat out. A new bo

15、ok claims that (26)_ you sit in a restaurant can affect how many you consume. A New research found that people sitting farthest from the front door ate the fewest salads and were 73 percent (27)_(likely) to order dessert. Those seated at a dark table ate heavier food and ordered more of it (28)_ din

16、ers seated at bright bar tables ordered more salads and fewer desserts. According to the researchers, the darker it is, the more invisible you (29)_ feel, the less easy it is to see how much youre eating and the less guilty you are when you eat more.In contrast, (30) _(see) the sunlight, people or t

17、rees outside might make you more conscious of (31)_ you look, might make you think about walking or might make you want a green salad.The researchers also noted that slim diners chewed around 15 times per mouthful, three chews more than heavier diners. By eating more slowly, the diner consumes less

18、in the time (32)_ takes for the brain to register satisfaction.(B)Beijings annoying smog(雾) seems to have hurt the citys appeal to tourists. Last year, Beijing Youth Daily reported that the number of visitors to Beijing (33)_(fall) 50 percent since January. Its said that the citys bad air quality wa

19、s to blame for the decline. Its also more difficult (34) _(attract) high-end employees to work in Beijing, especially those with children.However, the blanket of poisonous smog hasnt hurt Beijings office market, (35)_ has jumped up quickly on a global ranking to become the fourth-most-expensive loca

Hong Kong, home to the priciest office space in Asia, comes in second global

Teens listen to over

24、2.5 hours of music per day. Earbuds, Mp3players, and smartphones make it easy for teens to listen to music while they go about much of their daily lives. The digital world also means that parents must face new challenges when it comes to a teens music. In the past-when music was _42_ through audio t

25、ape or CD, it was much easier for parents to be aware of a teens musical _43_. But mow that teens have free access to millions of songs and music videos through the internet, parents are less likely to be _44_ of what their teens are listening to. Today, its hard to believe that todays over-50-years

26、 people used to be _45_ against Elvis Presleys dance moves. Fast-forward to the present day and the society has certainly become more _46_ of many strange forms of art. As for parents, music is a powerful tool and certainly music with pro-social or warm lyrics(歌词) can be a(n)_47_ influence in teens.

27、 Its important to take an active approach when _48_ your teens musical interests. Get your teen to talk to you. Ask questions without passing _49_. Always be curious and inquire about what your teen looks for in music and talk about what _50_ can be found in certain songs.III. Reading ComprehensionS

28、ection ADirections: 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.Gallup used to conduct a poll(投票) that asked students to name the school subject that they considered to be the most

29、 difficult. Not _51_, mathematics came out on top of the difficulty chart. So what is it about math that makes it difficult?D defines the word “difficult” as “not easily or readily done; requiring much _52_ or planning to be performed successfully.” This definition gets to the point of the problem w

30、hen it comes to math. What makes math difficult is that it takes patience and persistence. For many students, math is not something that comes _53_. It takes effort. It is a subject that sometimes requires students to devote lots and lots of time and _54_.This means, for many, the problem has little

31、 to do with brain power; it is mostly a matter of staying power. And since students dont make their own timelines, they can _55_ the time as the teacher moves on to the next topic.In fact, there is also an element of brain style in the big picture, according to many scientists. They believe that peo

32、ple are born with _56_math understanding skills. Logical, left-brain thinkers tend to understand things in sequential bits, while artistic, intuitive, right-brainers are more _57_. They take in a lot of information at one time and allow time to let it “sink in”. so left-brain students may grasp conc

33、epts _58_ while right-brain students dont. To the right brain student, time loss can make them feel confused and behind. Unfortunately in busy classrooms with too many students, students are mot always _59_ enough time. We have to move on, ready or not.Math know-how is also cumulative(积累), which mea

34、ns it works much like a pile of building blocks. You have to gain enough _60_ in one area before you can effectively go on to “build upon” another area. Our first mathematical building blocks are established in primary school, when we learn _61_ for addition and multiplication, and those first conce

35、pts become our _62_. These mathematical concepts or knowledge has to sink in and become _63_ before students can move on to challenge the next stage of new concepts. However, teachers dont have time to ensure that every single student understands every single concept. So some students move to the ne

36、xt level with really shaky knowledge system. _64_, as they climb the ladder, they may meet with more and more difficulties and might _65_ complete failure at some point.51.A. surprisinglyB. interestinglyC. necessarilyD. similarly52.A. emotionB. laborC. curiosityD. money53.A. regularlyB. possiblyC. a

37、utomaticallyD. secretly54.A. spaceB. confidenceC. characterD. energy55.A. make up forB. run out ofC. take advantage ofD. add up to56.A. steadyB. abstractC. differentD. sharp57.A. negativeB. globalC. simpleD. specific58.A. quicklyB. typicallyC. patientlyD. strangely59.A. reminded aboutB. exposed toC.

38、 blessed withD. accused of60.A. praisesB. scoresC. materialD. blocks61.A. conditionsB. rules C. aimsD. choices62.A. thoughtB. attitudeC. foundationD. source63.A. nativeB. accessibleC. firmD. superior64.A. In additionB. In contrastC. For exampleD. In result65.A. realizeB. acknowledgeC. sufferD. regre

39、tSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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)October 17,

40、1989 is a day San Francisco will never forget. On that day, an uncommon number of tragedies took place. It was also a day when total strangers became linked. The story of Jim Betts and Julio Berumen is a moving example of one such meeting.On that day, Petra Berumen took her daughter Cathy to the den

41、tist. Also in the car was her son six-year-old Julio and their family friend Yolanda. Soon after Petra drove onto the highway, disaster struck. Without warning, the earth began to shake.The damage was terrible. Hugh trees bent as if they were made of rubber. Streets cracked and buildings collapsed.

42、At least a stretch of the highway had crashed onto the lower level.Then as quickly as it started, the earthquake stopped. The Berumenss car had been crushed be the steel. Petra and Yolanda were killed instantly. Cathy escaped unhurt but Julio, though still alive, was in danger. Not only was his righ

43、t leg pinned down by the steel, he was also squeezed between the dead bodies of his mother and Yolanda.Rescuers had calmed Julio by the time Jim Betts, a doctor from Oakland Hospital, arrived. For two hours, Jim tried to free Julio with two bare hands. He did not stop to worry about the fact that af

44、tershocks could send the highway to the ground. As soon as Julio was breathing, Jim kept working. However, Julio was languishing. Jim realized that he had only one choice. He would have to cut the boys right leg at the knee. Conditions were far from ideal. It was hot inside the car. Darkness had fal

45、len outside. With great care, Jim started the operation. He had to try risky methods. Finally Julio was free.Those hours on the highway were like a nightmare. Jim said: “If my family members were up there badly hurt, they would urgently need help like that.” Though the day the earthquake tore many t

46、hings apart, it also brought brave people together.66. The San Francisco earthquake was an uncommon event for Julio and Jim because _.A. the earth shook violently and suddenlyB. they became linked unexpectedlyC. they neither could see the broken highwayD. they both lost their family members67. In th

47、e fifth paragraph, Julio was languishing, which means that he was _.A. about to dieB. complaining about the painC. losing his voiceD. crying68. According to the passage, Jim _.A. successfully performed the operationB. had necessary equipment to rescue JulioC. was able to save Julios right legD. had

48、one family member operated on69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Berumens were trying to leave the dangerous city when the earthquake struck.B. Two people of the Berumen family finally survived from the earthquake.C. Knowing aftershocks would come soon, Jim

49、tried to rescue Julio from the car.D. The conditions were agreeable enough for Jim to perform the operation. (B) At the end of the year, our magazine is revealing our annual food and shopping predictions based on our research. Grazing Golden-Agers: Ninety-one percent of people say they snack daily,

50、according to Nielsen. While snacking is on the rise among all ages and genders, research shows that snacking among consumers over the age of 65 could contribute to additional years with a higher quality of life. Well see more boomers-those raised in the “three square meals a day” period-employ a “gr

51、azing” approach to eating foods rich in nutrients like protein, fiber and Omega3 that can help promote bone health. Same-Day Delivery Not Just for City Clickers: Online grocery shopping and delivery has become a crowded space, with a host of services competing for consumer attention. This trend allo

52、ws everyone who sells food to be in the same-day delivery business without having to add additional operational facilities. Look for Google Shopping Express to put every supermarket in the same day delivery business and change consumer behavior to shop online for food to be delivered to homes fresh

53、for each meal. You now can throw your refrigerator away! The Rise of Fermented Foods: The next year will be the year when fermented (发酵的) foods-foods like yogurt, pickles(泡菜) take center stage. These foods contain live cultures, or are preserved in liquid so their sugars and other seasonings can bec

54、ome bacteria-promoting agents. In fact, a survey has found that nearly 50 percent of Americans have shown interest in fermented foods, who, especially those over 60s, have improved a lot in digestion. However, if treated inappropriately, the bacteria hidden in these foods might have our hospitals fu

55、ll of sick dinners. Therefore make sure to study the cooking skills well before you these foods.Supermarkets change into Socializing Spaces:Supermarkets have evolved from straightforward centers where consumers could buy groceries to providers of lifestyle. Supermarkets are developing a variety of s

56、ervices that help to establish each outlet as a showcase of lifestyle trends. A desire to be “all things food” to their customers, young and old, is positioning the supermarkets as head to head competitors with chain and local restaurants. Cooking classes, and online home-made recipes are also givin

57、g consumers reasons beyond a grocery list to step inside their neighborhood supermarkets instead of a local restaurant.70. The passage advises readers to give up refrigerator because_ A. people eat more snacks which dont have to be put in refrigerators B. the refrigerators has become useless operati

58、onal facilities for food sellers C. food can be sent to customers within short time and freezing is not needed D. Fermented foods can be kept in normal temperature for much more time.71. For fermented foods, people must guarantee that_ A. live cultures should be introduced while eating them B. these

59、 help in digestion should be introduced to the public C. bacteria should be killed before being put into the foods D. cooking should be conducted carefully to avoid disease72. It is implied in the last paragraph that_ A. supermarkets sell recipes for trendy lifestyle to customers B. supermarkets use

60、d to be friends of chain and local restaurants C. people can apply for cooking classes and obtain recipes in supermarkets D. Cooking classes encourage people to make food rather than dine out73. The two trends that are particularly good for the elderly are_ A. eating snacks and fermented foods B. ea

61、ting snacks and one-day delivery C. one-day delivery and socializing supermarkets D. fermented foods and socializing supermarkets(C)Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent. However, is high home-owner

62、ship really as people imagine? Staring at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland

63、, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europes lowest home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unempl

64、oyed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck.

65、 Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. As Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engende

66、red mortgage(房贷) lending and an unavoidable house-price crash-that sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble. As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their t

67、rue labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When at some point market broke down, everyone suffere

68、d. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes. That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a persons lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it i

69、s necessary to have paid off an entire house? Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We should rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved. Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the

70、 golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30 split that is now observed in so many Western nations, makes sense.74. The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove that_ A. low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economy B. home-owners

71、hip mainly decides a countrys citizens mental health C. home-ownership has a lot to do with a countrys technological development D. low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy75. The main reason to make people invest in housing market is_ A. the problematic taxing approach fa

72、vouring house buying B. peoples desire to avoid their money from devaluing C. easy channels to obtain methods to make easy money D. peoples wishes to live in large and more comfortable houses76. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Switzerland suffers the worse unem

73、ployment in Europe B. Renting allows more money into more creative economic activites C. Germanys effective mortgage system saw it through the western economic crisis D. Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off77. What opinion does the author agree with most? A. Peo

74、ple should learn the workings of housing market B. Laws should be set up to stop people from buying houses C. An adequate rate of home-ownership should be kept D. People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the qu

75、estions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. The herds of bulls and horses depicted running along the walls of the Lascaux caves in France are among the most magnificent examples of prehistoric art ever discovered. But rather than displaying hunting scenes, new evidence suggests

76、that the images actually represent the frightening sounds which came from the mouths of the caves. US researcher Steven Waller believes that the echoes(回声) of clapping outside the cave would have sounded like hundreds of animal feet drumming on the ground. He proposes that the caves were preserved f

77、or their sound properties, which prehistoric peoples mistook for supernatural noises. Ancient stories explained echoes from the mouths of certain giant caves as replies from spirits, so our ancestors chose to decorate these caves with paintings believing that they were inhabited by spirits and gods.

78、 Beside animal sounds, many ancient cultures attributed thunder in the sky to thunder gods, so it makes sense that some lasting echoes within the caves were interpreted as thunder and inspired paintings of those thunder gods on cave walls. The idea is also supported by audio theory, which shows stat

79、istically significant similarities between the rock are sites and modern sound reflection equipment. As for the presence of the famous Stonehenge(巨石阵) in Britain, Mr. Walker also suggests it may have been the sound of the prehistoric monument, rather than the sight, that inspired its creation. He cl

80、aims that its architects may have been trying to recreate a sound-effect similar to the ritual sound made during religious dancing. People taking part in a religious dance around a pair of pipes would have heard the music grow quieter as they moved past certain pipes due to a natural phenomenon know

81、n as an interference pattern. If they were blindfold, it would have created the illusion that the sound was intermittently being reduced by invisible gods as they danced. According to Dr. Walker, the effects became so impressive that ancient people attempted to capture it in store. Therefore the Sto

82、nehenge appeared. However some British experts said that it was clear that Stonehenge had been created over several centuries rather than being thrown up overnight.They claimed that there was no question in the traditional view that lining up along the mid-summer sunrise and mid-winter sunset was th

83、e ultimate purpose for its building.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 78. According to ancient people, who lived in the big caves? 79. Modern sound science finds that _ and _ have much in common. 80. According to Walker, how was the sound made weaker

84、during religious dancing? 81. The traditional view believes that Stonehenge was built in order to _.II卷(共47分)ITranslation(22分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 玛丽的表演从来没有这样令人印象深刻。(Never)2. 谁到得最晚,就得为今天的晚餐买单。(whoever)3. 据报道,父母之间的关系将大大影响
