14、共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AHoli is the Hindu festival of colors. It is celebrated at the end of the winter season, on the last full moon day of the lunar month Phalguna. In 2014, Holi was celebrated on March 17.Holi is celebrated by Hindus all over the world. Holi c
15、elebrations begin on the eve of the festival with bonfires and prayers. On the day of Holi, people throw colored powder and liquids at each other. A common greeting during this time is, “Happy Holi.”Holi celebrations are particularly wild and uncontrolled in India as social rules are relaxed. Colore
16、d water is squirted on passers-by, and people are dunked into muddy water. Many people drink bhang, a powerful wine made from a plant. Social differences are temporarily ignored and people of all ages, genders and backgrounds gather together and celebrate the festival. In fact, it is said that one c
17、an get away with almost any kind of behavior on the day of Holi by saying “dont mind, it is Holi.” In addition to the boisterous nature of the festival, this is a time for family members to get together, give gifts, eat special foods and decorate their homes. Overall, this is one of the most spirite
18、d and beloved festivals of the Hindu calendar.The celebration of Holi is described in Hindu historical texts and stories that have passed from generation to generation. Holi commemorates the mythical story of a young boy called Prahlada, the son of the king of demons (恶魔). Unable to tolerate Prahlad
19、as devotion to Vishnu, a good god, his demon father attempted to kill him several times by poisoning him, throwing him from the top of a mountain, etc. but failed each time. Finally, he ordered his son to sit on a fire on the lap of his demoness sister, Holika, who was protected from the flames. Pra
20、hlada accepted his fathers command and survived unharmed from the fire while his sister was burned to death. This story is widely known throughout India, and as with most Hindu tales, it varies slightly in different parts of the country.26. The passage is written to _. A. report the celebration of a
21、n Indian festival B. explain why Holi is important to Indians C. introduce a popular Indian festival D. tell the origin of an Indian festival27. The underlined word “boisterous” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. colourful and crazyB. lively and energeticC. dirty and angryD. peaceful and q
22、uiet28. During the festival of Holi, people do the following EXCEPT _. A. colour their faces and bodies and drink muddy water B. get together with the family and enjoy special food C. throw coloured powder and give gifts to friends D. say prayers and celebrate with bonfires29. What can we infer from
23、 the passage?A. India is a country with relaxed social rules.B. Bhang is a very popular daily drink in India.C. Criminals will be forgiven if they celebrate Holi.D. Social class differences are very obvious in India.30. According to the last paragraph, Holi was originally celebrating _.A. the end of
24、 winterB. the birth of a godC. victory of good against badD. love between family membersBThey tell us when to get up or when were running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite TV programme. But while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is di
25、scovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms the human bodys own internal clock have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep pat
26、terns.In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.The latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not
27、 we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to fib in the afternoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies especially if it meant
28、they got a financial reward at the end.“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our
29、sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. Thats because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure we get home safely. When our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get the
30、m home in one piece.”So what effects do circadian rhythms have and whats the best time of day to take advantage of them?31. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to _. A. our clocksB. scientists and expertsC. our daily routinesD. circadian rhythms 32. The research referred to in P
31、aragraph 3 found that people tend to _.A. tell lies when they are tiredB. tell lies if they are rewardedC. lose temper as they become tiredD. break down because they are tired33. According to the passage, when are people most quick-thinking? A. In the morning.B. Around midday.C. In the late afternoo
32、n.D. In the early evening.34. What information will the writer probably present following the last paragraph?A. Some practical suggestions to prevent people from lying.B. Examples of how the human body clocks control the body.C. Examples of the most suitable time to do different activities.D. An exp
33、lanation of how the human body clock controls the body.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Rebuild your body clockB. Timing is everythingC. Sleep more, lie lessD. Your time is upC3D printers are a new generation of machines that can make everyday things. Theyre remarkable because they can
34、produce different kinds of objects, in different materials, all from the same machine. A 3D printer can make pretty much anything from clay cups to plastic toys, metal machine parts, fancy chocolate cakes or even (one day soon) human body parts. If you look at a page from your home printer with a mi
35、croscope, youll see the letters are actually sitting slightly on top of the surface of the page. In theory, if you printed over that same page a few thousand times, the ink would build up enough layers (层) to create a solid 3D model of each letter. That idea of building a physical form out of tiny l
36、ayers is how a 3D printer works.You start by designing a 3D object on an ordinary home PC, connect it to a 3D printer, press “print” and then sit back and watch. The process is a bit like making a loaf of sliced bread, but in the opposite order. Imagine baking each individual slice of bread and then
37、 gluing them together into a whole loaf. Thats basically what a 3D printer does.The 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, and then forms a single solid object slice by slice. You can print a whole bike handlebars, saddle, frame, wheels, brakes, pedals and cha
38、in ready assembled, without using any tools. Its just a question of leaving spaces in the right places.Have you ever broken something, only to find its no longer sold and you cant replace it? 3D printing means you can simply print a new one. That world, where you can make almost anything at home, is
39、 very different from the one we live in today. Its a world that doesnt need trucks to deliver goods or warehouses to store them in, where nothing is ever out of stock and where there is less waste, packaging and pollution.Its also a world where everyday items, such as shoes and furniture, can be eas
40、ily made to your requirements. You can get some of those things now if youre wealthy, but 3D printing brings affordable, designer manufacturing to the masses. If that sounds like pure fantasy, try googling “personalized 3D printed products” and see for yourself.36. You need all of the following to d
41、o some 3D printing EXCEPT _.A. a computerB. some glue C. some materialsD. a 3D printer37. The second and third paragraphs mainly explain _.A. how a 3D printer actually functionsB. the process of making a loaf of breadC. why the first 3D printer was inventedD. what 3D printers can actually produce38.
42、 Which of the following is an advantage of 3D printing according to the passage?A. You can produce almost everything in the warehouse.B. You can print things in large numbers and sell them.C. Things you print wont need places to store.D. It will cause less waste and pollution.39. You can now use the
43、 3D printer to solve your problem when you _.A. have lost one of your shirt buttonsB. want a big house to live inC. run out of drinking waterD. need to replace an organ40. From the last paragraph we can learn that 3D printing productions are _. A. easy to order through GoogleB. as popular as online
44、shoppingC. still unbelievable to many peopleD. cheap to produce in mass productionDWhat exactly is language for? To many people, the answer seems obvious. Its for the transfer of useful facts, such as “Dinner will be served at eight oclock”, “Peters uncle has twisted his ankle”, and “Kangaroos live
45、in Australia”.However, even when information is apparently conveyed, its reliability is not guaranteed. The speaker might have been lying, or even misunderstood, “We are now at take-off”, the pilot of a Boeing 747 announced. He meant, “We are now in the process of taking off”. The air-traffic contro
46、ller assumed he meant, “We are waiting at the take-off point”. As a consequence, 583 people died as two planes crashed at an airport in Paris.Generally, language is moderately good at communicating simple pieces of factual information such as “John is Sallys cousin”, providing the speaker is telling
47、 the truth. Such “information talking” is usually assumed to be at the core of language. Yet its effectiveness in the role depends on the type of information being conveyed.Language is bad at handling spatial information, whether for tying knots, following directions or learning about the circulatio
48、n of the blood. Consider the instructions for tying a simple knot:1. Pass the end of the rope over the standing part.2. Take the end under the standing part from the loop.3. Bring the end of the rope back over itself towards the loop.4. etc.Without a diagram this description is almost impossible to
49、understand, even though it is accurate. Language is also particularly poor at communicating information about our senses and feeling.But language is particularly good at promoting communication between people. It “oils social wheels”, even when nothing important is said, as pointed out by the langua
50、ge expert Bill West, who argued against “the false idea of language as a means of conveying ideas from the head to the speaker to that of the listener”. He stressed the social importance of “talking for the sake of talking”, which he labeled “phatic communication”.It is easy to think up examples. Cu
51、stomary words and gestures are exchanged when people meet, “Good morning”, “Hi there!”. And there are standard topics of conversation. In Britain this is traditionally the weather. In other countries, it may be the health of relatives, as in the custom in southern India.Conversational interaction be
52、tween friends often supplies a minimum of information, but a maximum of supportive chat. Meaningless words, or even misunderstood words can keep a conversation going. So “solidarity talking”, talking to maintain social relations, is widespread and important.41. The author includes “Kangaroos live in
53、 Australia” in Paragraph 1 to _.A. explain the idea that language has changedB. argue that language can be used for reasoningC. tell a well-known fact which cannot be disprovenD. give an example of language used for giving information42. The author uses the example of the plane accident in Paragraph
54、 2 to show that _.A. the pilot was actually lyingB. language may be misunderstoodC. language may be difficult to masterD. the pilot had a poor command of the language43. Which of the following is NOT an example of spatial information?A. Tying a knot.B. Giving instructions.C. Following directions.D.
55、Learning about the circulation of blood.44. Which of the following would the writer agree with?A. Language is used to convey emotions and sensations well.B. Language is particularly good at conveying information.C. Language is effective at keeping social communication.D. Language is able to convey s
56、patial information well.45. According to the passage, telling a stranger standing next to you at a bus stop that “its a lovely day today” would be an example of _.A. phatic communicationB. weather reporting C. information talkD. solidarity talk第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡

95、 is a series of choices, and we cannot always foresee the consequences.Harry Saleem, a very fat man with too much money and power, faced a choice. Outside his office waited his personal doctor, bringing him vital news about the only medicine that could save his life. On the other side of the world,
96、one of his engineers waited for his decision on an important matter of business.His secretary asked whether she could bring the doctor in. The billionaire businessman made his decision.“No, let the fool wait,” growled Saleem. “Business comes first.” Despite the health problems caused by his huge wei
97、ght, he was still obsessed with making money. He raised a fat finger, and one of his staff hurried to switch on a large television set.The screen flashed to life, and Saleems engineer appeared. The man talked by satellite directly to his master although they were thousands of miles apart. “Its all r
98、eady to blow, Mr. Saleem,” he said. “Just say the word.”His engineer was standing above Pakan Valley in South America. A few months ago, it had been a rainforest. Then Saleems men had come, cutting down all the valuable trees and forcing the villagers to move out. Across the bottom of the valley, a
99、dam had been built. This would provide power for the factories which Saleem planned to build in the area. The factories would bring him vast profits.He ordered the engineer to press the button. The camera moved across the valley, and then a cloud of dust rose up, followed shortly by a dull explosion
100、. A mighty river changed its course, and water flooded into the doomed Pakan Valley.“Good, thats that. Turn it off. Now get that doctor in here,” he commanded. The doctor came in with a worried look and started to examine his wealthy patient. “Youre doing very well, Mr Saleem,” he said finally. The
101、new medicine is saving your life. The only difficulty is getting more of it.”“Can you get more? Money is no problem,” Saleem said. “Tell me what you need, and well get it.”“The main ingredient of this medicine came from a newly-discovered plant a small, green orchid,” the doctor explained. “Well nee
102、d many of them to make enough medicine. They are very rare. Theres only one place in the world where they grow.”“Where?” demanded the businessman, impatiently.The doctor smiled. “Well, luckily the orchids come from some land you own.

106、award-winning American actor and writer, Matt Damon.I was raised by a teacher and Ive always attended public schools. I wouldnt trade my education and experience for anything.I had incredible teachers. As I look at my life today, the things I value most about myself my imagination, my love of acting
107、, my passion for writing, my love of learning, my curiosity all come from how I was parented and taught.And none of these qualities Ive just mentioned, that have given me such happiness and success, can be tested.I said before that I had incredible teachers. Thats because my teachers were EMPOWERED
108、to teach me. They didnt have to waste their time giving tests, which any serious person knows dont promote real learning. My teachers were free to treat me and every other kid like an individual. They figured out who we were and how to best make the lessons relevant to each of us. They were empowere
109、d to unlock our potential. They were allowed to be teachers.But that was in the 1970s. Today tests are used to decide everything where students can study; how good you are as a teacher. Its crazy!As a consequence, teachers spend most of their time desperately drilling students and less time encourag
110、ing creativity and original ideas; less time knowing who we were, seeing our strengths and helping us realize our talents.It must be horrible for teachers now. I came here today to deliver an important message to you and Im not alone. Im one of the millions of people who support you. We too oppose t
111、esting.So the next time youre feeling down, or exhausted, or unappreciated, or at the end of your rope, please know that there are millions of us behind you. You have an army of regular people standing right behind you, and our appreciation for what you do is so deeply felt. We love you, we thank yo

116、of moneyCImagine Sally and Anne having a drink in a bar. While Sally is in the bathroom, Anne decides to buy another drink, but she notices that Sally has left her phone on the table. Anne puts the phone into her friends bag before heading to the bar so that no one steals it. When Sally returns, whe
117、re will she expect to see her phone?If you said shed look at the table where she left it, congratulations! You have a “theory of mind” the ability to understand that another person may have knowledge, ideas and beliefs that differ from your own, or from reality.This ability may not seem special but
118、it involves doing something no other animal can: ignoring our own beliefs about the world that the phone is in the bag and take on an alternative world view.The “theory of mind” was first developed in the 1970s, when it was discovered that at around the age of four, children develop this ability. Th
119、e standard way to test a childs “theory of mind” is called the Sally-Anne test. It involves acting out the events described earlier, only with puppets and a missing ball.When asked, “When Sally returns, where will she look for the ball?” most three-year-olds say shell look in the new spot, where Ann
120、e has placed it. The child knows the balls location, so they cannot imagine that Sally would think it was anywhere else.But around the age of four, that changes. Most four and five-year-olds realize that Sally will expect the ball to be just where she left it.For over two decades that was the dogma,
121、 but the idea has been challenged by new research that indicated “theory of mind” is present in babies just 15 months old.Such young children cannot answer questions about where they expect Sally to look for the ball, but you can tell what theyre thinking by how long they stare: babies look for long
122、er at things they find surprising.When Sally searched for the ball in a place she should not have expected to find it, the babies did stare for longer. In other words, they seemed to understand that people can have false beliefs.36. The author told the story about Sally and Anne in the bar in order
123、to _.A. test how clever the readers areB. explain how adults solve problemsC. introduce the concept of “theory of mind”D. show the difference between facts and beliefs37. Which of the following is true about the classic Sally-Anne test?A. It concluded that children developed the theory of mind aroun
124、d four.B. It showed children were confused by the Sally and Anne test.C. It found that three-year-old children didnt know how to lie.D. It proved that 4-year-olds were smarter than 3-year-olds.38. According to the passage, “the theory of mind” has been _.A. universally acceptedB. criticized by the s
125、cientistsC. clearly proven to be wrongD. challenged by some researchers39. When babies who cant talk are given the Sally-Anne test, why did they stare?A. They were surprised about where Sally was looking for the ball.B. They were happy to know that Sally was unable to find the ball.C. They were conf
126、used by the fact that Sally couldnt find the ball.D. They were interested in where Sally was looking for the ball.40. The passage includes the following contents EXCEPT _.A. new findings opposing the classic Sally-Anne testB. how different adults and children areC. how the Sally-Anne test is doneD.
127、what the theory of mind isDSix-year-old Hunter Yelton, a first grader at an American primary school, was recently suspended（停学）for kissing a girl in his class on the hand.Hunter spoke to KRDO News-channel and explained, “It was during class. We were doing reading and I leaned over and kissed her on
128、the hand. Thats what happened.” The boy went on to take responsibility for what he did, “She sent me to the office. Fair and square. I did something wrong and I feel sorry. Ive been trying to be good at school.”Hunter got into trouble because his actions fit the elementary schools definition of “sex
129、ual harassment（性骚扰）”. So now Little Hunter has a record as a sexual harassment offender.Hunters mother, Jenny Saunders, felt it was inappropriate saying “sexual harassment”. “This is taking it to an extreme that doesnt need to be met with a six-year-old. Now my son is asking questions, What is sex,
130、mommy?” she said, “The word Sex should not ever be said in a sentence with a six-year-old.”The female classmate and her parents have not come forward but according to Ms. Saunders, “She was fine with it. They are boyfriend and girlfriend. The other children saw it and went to the music teacher.”KRDO
131、 spoke to Dr. Sandy Smith, a child clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Colorado, who specializes in child sexual development.About Hunter kissing a classmate the psychologist said, “For most six-year-old boys, absolutely, that would be a normal behavior.”She was surprised by the
132、 suspension and thinks that the term “sexual harassment” could be problematic for children.“I dont think a six-year-old would understand what harassment is. That has some longer term implications,” said Dr. Smith, adding, “This part of development is just as important, if not more than, as their aca
133、demic subjects.”She suggested that this could be a teachable moment and should involve the students, their classmates and their parents so there wouldnt be a negative stain attached to the behavior. “Move away from that we dont do this to in what situations is it acceptable?. You may have different
134、rules of showing affection than you do maybe at home.”41. What can we learn about the boy Hunter?A. He didnt regret what he did.B. He was proud of what he did.C. He felt he deserved his punishment.D. He didnt think what he did was wrong.42. What did Hunters mother Ms Saunders think was wrong?A. The
135、girls familys response.B. Her sons kissing his girlfriend.C. The charge of “sexual harassment”.D. The reporting of the event to the teacher.43. Dr. Smith was surprised at the fact that _.A. the school didnt explain to the boy what sex harassment isB. there is a definition of “sex harassment” in elem
136、entary schoolsC. “sexual harassment” was actually applied to a six-year-old boyD. a six-year-old boy would dare to kiss a girl on the hand in class44. What does Dr. Smith suggest as an appropriate thing to do?A. Nothing should be done to it as its just a normal behaviour.B. The school should conside
137、r making changes to their regulations.C. Schools should stop children from developing boy-girl friendship.D. All should come together to discuss what is appropriate behaviour.45. Which of the following is the best title for this article?A. Do you call it sexual harassment?B. A child psychologists su

140、f Chinese women especially working women in cities give birth to babies at a later age. She said statistics show women in rural areas give birth at the average age of 25-26, while urban women give birth at the average age of 28-29.47. The number of patent applications, the demand for legal support,
141、and intellectual property consultation in various sectors have risen in recent years, inspired by the central governments call to develop intellectual property strategies.

155、venient.读写任务The passage describes the debate that has resulted from an internet video clip taken in Hong Kong of a mainland couple encouraging their two-year-old child to urinate in a public area.It is really hard to judge which side is more to blame for the original dispute. On the one hand, its cl
156、ear that the mainland couple didnt properly respect local Hong Kong customs. On the other hand, however, the actions of the Hong Kong photographer were also disrespectful and mean-spirited. (Instead of trying to help or simply stopping the parents, he went straight to the extreme taking photos of a
157、two-year-old urinating! He was clearly trying to humiliate the parents.)In fact, both parities could have behaved differently to avoid the conflict. The photographer could have been a little more gracious and understanding of the mainland couples situation, particularly if there were no public toile
158、ts available. (If he had time to shoot video then didnt he also have time to point out the nearest public toilet?) But I think the main responsibility was with the mainland couple. Even though this kind of action is very normal on the mainland, it was clearly not normal in Hong Kong. When travelling
159、 to different places, it is the responsibility of the visitor to be familiar with the rules of behavior of that place, and to act accordingly. The parents therefore, should have researched these customs more thoroughly. (At the very least they should have taken the child into a back alley, where the baby was not exposed to public.)There is an old saying goes, when in Rome do as the Romans do. I strongly suggest that visitors to a new place should do careful research beforehand to avoid getting into similar trouble.
