I was born with bad eyesight. At high school I couldn't read the blackboard. By the time I got to the university of Bath to study Chemistry it had got to the point where I couldn't really see images at all, only the difference between light and dark. And a few years later, once I was in the first year of my PhD, I was almost completely blind.
But climbing is my great passion. I started climbing when I was young. My dad taught me everything about climbing. When I was 11, I led my first climbing route outside. People are usually amazed when they discover that not only do I climb, but I also lead climbs.
At university I joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more frequently. We had regular trips to indoor walls and weekends away outdoors. I developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on several trips to Europe. After these I started Alpine climbing and ice climbing, too.
When my sight dropped to a level where I could no longer read, I thought I might have to give up leading. But I never thought I would stop climbing. I just learnt to adapt with the support of my friends.
People often ask me, “Why rock climbing It doesn't seem like a good activity for a blind person.”
But when I think about the danger, crossing the road is far more dangerous, and also, it's something where I'm not in control.
It's quite possible that I wouldn't be such a good climber if I weren't blind. If I didn't have these challenges, it wouldn't focus me. That determination is built through my disability.
When I reach the top of a climb, I don't get to appreciate the view, but the feeling of achievement is extremely good.
Climbing is a way to prove my way of thinking in life—which is that I'm not disabled, I'm blind and able.
24．When the author went to university, he________．
A．couldn't read the blackboard
B．couldn't figure out light and dark
C．nearly couldn't see images
D．was almost blind
25．What did the author do when he couldn't read
A．He thought about quitting climbing.
B．He learnt to adapt with others' help.
C．He continued leading climbs.
D．He went on several trips to Europe.
26．What can we learn from the passage
A．The author started climbing at the age of 11.
B．The author began ice climbing when he got his PhD.
C．The author is afraid of crossing the road.
D．The author views blindness in a positive way.
27．Which can best express the main idea of this passage
A．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
B．All things are difficult before they are easy.
C．Actions speak louder than words.
D．The eye is blind if the mind is absent.
C
When homework and tests keep you up late at night, you may plan to make up for your lost sleep during the weekends. But is it useful
A study published in the journal Current Biology shows that the habit of sleeping in on weekends doesn't fix the damage that has been done by a lack of sleep during the week. Even worse, it may damage your health.
In the study, which was conducted over 10 days, 36 healthy young men and women with different sleep requirements were divided into three groups. The members of the first group were asked to sleep nine hours a night and the second group five hours a night. The members of the third group slept for five hours on weekdays but rested as long as they wanted on the weekend.
The researchers found that people who lacked sleep ate more snacks and gained weight quickly. However, this wasn't the case for the first group.
That could be partially due to the shifting of the biological clock and changes to certain body hormones, especially hunger hormones. In order to catch up on their sleep during weekends, people in the third group would eat later as a habit. So their biological clocks shifted, which also changed the production of hunger hormones.
“The hormone leptin (瘦素) decreases appetite (胃口), while the hormone ghrelin (饿素) increases appetite，” explained US researcher Vsevolod Polotsky. “Sleep shortage causes leptin to drop and ghrelin to rise, so you're hungry and eat more.”
And even if they tried to sleep for as long as they wanted to during weekends, according to researchers, it was still not enough because they found it difficult to fall asleep.
Moreover, short and insufficient sleep schedules will lead to an inability to change blood sugar and increase the risk of metabolic (新陈代谢) disease in the long term.
28．Which of the following is TRUE about the study
A．Participants were divided into two groups.
B．Researchers studied 36 children and adults.
C．It lasted for more than two weeks.
D．Each group follow different sleep requirements.
29．What does the underlined word “shifting” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．increasing B．lacking
C．changing D．shortening
30．Why may people without enough sleep eat more
A．They need to create more energy.
B．There is less leptin in their bodies.
C．They have a lower blood sugar.
D．Their bodies produce less hormones.
31．What can be a suitable title for this passage
A．Appetite Affects Our Sleep Quality
B．Sleeping in Causes Weight Loss
C．Catching up on Sleep Harms Our Body
D．Men and Women Sleep Differently
D
In the distant past, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational(导航的)systems to help us find our way, the latest of which is the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The BDS is entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing services covering our whole planet.
It's difficult to imagine the great influence those satellites have on our daily lives. When you unlock one of Hellobike's bicycles, you are using the BDS. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center which will help collect big data on the bikes and predict users' riding needs in advance according to the data，” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike mentioned. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately (精确地) thanks to Beidou's global positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters.
Beidou adopts a unique two way communication system, including its ability to receive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously this function isn't designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked.
After the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, all ground based communication facilities were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue(救援) centers was successful. Now, Beidou's messaging ability has been increased to 1, 200 Chinese characters in a single message. It is widely used in disaster alarms, automatic identification and information release.
As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said: “The_application(应用)_of_Beidou_is_only_limited_by_imagination.”
32．What can we learn about the BDS from the passage
A．It was developed by Chinese and American engineers.
B．It works better on clear nights.
C．Its last satellite was launched on July 31.
D．It's able to provide global coverage for navigation.
33．Why does the author mention Hellobike in paragraph 3
A．To stress the excellent positioning ability of the BDS.
B．To show how the BDS makes people's daily lives easier.
C．To present the advantages and disadvantages of the BDS.
D．To explain how the BDS works.
34．What is Beidou's two way communication system designed for
A．To help people when communication signals are poor.
B．To make users' daily communication more fun.
C．To allow users to chat online more freely.
D．To collect data from users for the data center.
35．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A．Beidou may be more helpful than we know.
B．Beidou inspires users' imagination.
C．Beidou needs to be further improved.
D．Beidou is limited in application.

How to Write a Good Résumé (简历)
Vicki Salemi, a career expert, said a résumé is a foot in the door of your career. Do you want to impress your employers with your skills or experiences, without flooding them with too much information 36.________
Decide which skills to stress
Typically, companies will list the most important skills and responsibilities needed for the job in the advertisement. If the job description isn't clear, turn to people at the company or those who work in the same industry for specific information about the required skills. 37.________ This will make your résumé stand out among hundreds of competitors.
Keep a balance between soft and hard skills
Soft skills are the set of behaviors and personalities that you use every day, such as cooperation and problem solving. Hard skills are technical like computer programming. Both of them are important. But you can only keep the skills section of your résumé limited to between six and eight skills. 38.________ In this way you will definitely impress the employers with enough skills.
39．________
Don't just show a résumé with a list of skills and job titles. You also have to support them with concrete evidence. When describing a previous job, include any related achievements. For example, if you're stating that you're a salesman, you should talk about whether you won salesman of the month or how much you devoted to increase the sales. These specific details will help to convince the employers you are a qualified person.
Develop the skills you're lacking
Don't get discouraged if you're lacking certain skills that are key for the position you're applying for. 40.________ For example, if you want to have a job at a hospital, try to get online classes for key software skills like patient scheduling. Hard skills are easier to learn, but even soft skills can be developed over time. You just need to find an effective way to learn them and get that across in your résumé.
A．Back skills up with evidence
B．Instead, work on developing them.
C．Share details of your life experience
D．You should include as many skills as possible.
E．Here are some tips for an eye catching résumé.
F．Then you need to highlight (突出) these skills on your résumé.
G．If you want to include more, put your soft skills into the professional history.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Just after New Year's，before school vacation ended, I went out for a walk. It was a walk I'd been meaning to take ever since we moved to the house.
I took my camera—the first time I'd taken my camera out since we came to the country—and went, dressed in my down jacket and wearing heavy boots. I walked toward the seemingly abandoned house that I could see across the fields from the upstairs window.
A truck was parked at the end of the road, beside a tiny weather beaten house. There was smoke coming out of the chimney, and curtains in the two little windows on either side of the door. A dog was in the yard, who barked when he saw me coming. And beside the truck—no, actually in the truck, or at least with his head inside it, was a man.
“Hi，” I called. It would have been silly to turn around and start walking home without saying anything, even though I've promised my parents all my life that I would never talk to strange men.
He lifted out his head, a gray head, smiled—a nice smile—and said, “Miss Chalmers. I'm glad you've come to visit.”
“Meg，” I said. I was puzzled. How did he know who I was
“For Margaret？” he asked, coming over and shaking my hand. “Forgive me.My hands are very dirty.My battery dies in this cold weather.”
“How did you know my name was Chalmers？”
He wiped his hands on a towel that was hanging from the door handle of the truck. “My dear，I apologize. I have not even introduced myself. My name is Will Banks. And it's much too cold to stand out here. Your feet must be frozen, even in those e inside, and I'll make us each a cup of tea. And I'll tell you how I know your name.”
I stood unmoved. He saw me hesitate，and smiled. “Meg，” he said, “I'm seventy years pletely harmless, even to a beautiful young girl like e on in and keep me company for a bit, and get warm.”
I laughed, because he knew what I was thinking, and very few people ever know what I'm thinking. Then I went in his house.

(Text 1)
M：I'd like to mail this package to California.①
W：Fill out this form with the required information. You can do this at the side counter. Pens are available there.
(Text 2)
M：Would you like to join us for dinner tonight, Betty
W：I'd love to. Where are we going
M：Oh, Jake made a reservation at a restaurant near my home.②
(Text 3)
W：Do you think the weather will be good this weekend？③
M：I heard it might rain.
W：That's a pity. I'd thought about going hiking in the hills.③
M：Well, we can go to that new art gallery instead.
(Text 4)
M：This book is really interesting. I enjoy it very much.
W：What is it Is it a novel
M：No, it's a medical book. It's been very popular recently, even though there's obviously boring subject matter.
W：Really I don't think I'd enjoy anything on such a boring topic, even if it is useful.④I much prefer science fiction, especially about what life might be like in the future.
(Text 5)
M：Hey, you look great! How did you get in such good shape
W：I've been going to the club regularly, and the training has really paid off. I'm in better shape than I have been for years and I know much more about how to keep fit.
M：I haven't gone to the club for weeks. I am too busy with work.⑤
W：I know. It's so normal to be too busy for work, but I've realized that exercise is extremely important compared to every other aspect of life.
(Text 6)
M：Do you have any ideas on how to start our research on the pollution of the river outside our city
W：Well, since pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world, and polluted water especially is a great danger to health, I think a lot of people are interested in this topic. Why don't we start with a survey？⑥
M：Yeah, good idea, and then we can also visit some factories along the river.
W：Good idea. Many factories pour waste water directly into rivers. We should go and see if those factories are doing that.
M：And of course we can go to the library and look for some books on this topic first.
W：OK. Let's start there.⑦ Shall we go there now
(Text 7)
W：Welcome to our store! Are you looking for a Ford today
M：Well, I must warn you that I'm not ready to buy anything today, and I can't afford to spend much.
W：That's not a problem. What type of car are you looking for
M：The most important thing is that the car must be gas saving—I'd like it to get at least 35 miles per gallon.⑧ It also needs to have quite a bit of space at the back of the car, because I sometimes have to move furniture around. The problem is I don't want to spend more than $13, 000.⑨
W：In that case，you might want to consider a used car, perhaps a pick up truck. We have several that are less than two years old and can still get good service from the factory. Would you like to take one for a test drive, even if it costs a little more than your budget？⑨
(Text 8)
W：We should go shopping for some new clothes.
M：Do you think so My clothes are still in good shape—and I am quite busy with my sales report right now, as you can see.
W：You've worn that same shirt for the last five years, and your blue trousers are about seven years old now.
M：Hey, that's OK.
W：Yes, but fashions change.
M：Fashions always change. Every year, every season, even every week, there is something new, such as clothes, smart phones, or iPads. Well, I'm not interested.⑩ As far as I'm concerned, it's just a way for clothing companies to take your money.
W：What about your shoes The pair I bought you for your birthday.
M：What about them
W：You've had those for two years now, and I can see your smelly socks through them. You have to buy some new shoes and socks, at least.
M：Okay, I agree about that， but besides that, I really don't think I need anything.
(Text 9)
W：What did you do last Sunday
M：I went to a meeting on global warming. It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about the environment.
W：Do you think there's anything we can do to change the damage that's been done already
M：It might not be possible to fix the problems that we've already created for ourselves, but there are lots of things we can do to fix the problems that we're creating now.
W：Like what
M：Well, we should use public transport, rather than our cars.
W：What else can we do to protect the environment
M：We should try to use sources of renewable energy at home.
W：How about recycling？ Does that actually help
M：Yes. We should take our glass, paper, plastic, and cans to a recycling center.
W：What do you think the biggest worry for our future is
M：I think that the greatest concern is not having enough clean water for everyone.
W：I had no idea you were such an environmentalist before!
M：To be honest, in order for the earth to continue to be a place suitable for people to live, we're all going to have to become more interested in the environment.

第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(满分15分)
One possible version：
Dear_Peter，
I'm_glad_to_learn_that_you're_soon_coming_to_China_to_spend_your_gap_year. I can feel how you are feeling faced with the difficulty in understanding Chinese and its traditional culture. I'm writing to help you deal with your concerns.
Learning Chinese and some traditional Chinese cultures in advance is a must. Since it's not easy to learn, I'd like to recommend Lucy Wang, an exchange student living in your neighborhood, as your “little teacher”. She has a good knowledge of English and Chinese. You needn't pay for her work as she can also learn pure English from you.
Wish your stay in China a pleasant one!
Yours，
Li_Hua
第二节(满分25分)
One possible version：
He took my jacket and hung it up with his, and poured tea into two thick pottery mugs. After we sat at the table, Will told me the whole story. The house my family was living in was actually built by his grandfather. He was born, raised and married in that house. After his Margaret died, he moved to this small house. When he heard my parents were looking for a place, he offered the house to them. He thought it was a perfect place for a writer like my father—the peace there stimulated imagination. He said again that he was glad I'd come to visit.
It's nice to have a new friend，like Will. I suggested taking pictures of him. “My dear，” he said, straightening his shoulders and buttoning the top button of his shirt. “I would be honored.” The soft light was coming in through the kitchen window onto his face. He sat right there, smiling and talking. I just shot quickly. Years later, those pictures still brought back the warm memories of that day.
