3.Walking in the forest, he felt ________ by the world.

A.helped out B.figured out

解析:选A 句意:一位女士说话像放连珠炮似的是不礼貌的,听听别人的意见也很有必要。pause“暂停;中止”,符合题意。stand for“代表;象征;表示”;predict“预言;预告;预测”;oppose“反对;反抗;与(某人)较量”。

A.flooding B.to flood
C.flood
D.flooded
解析:选A 句意:当我们去看我老家的房子时,过去的记忆像洪水一样涌来。分析句子结构,可以看出主句的谓语动词是come。动词不定式常表示将来、目的和结果,过去分词表示被动和完成,而memory与flood之间是主动关系,而且与主句动作同时发生,所以应选动词-ing形式作伴随状语。

Apart from five carp (鲤鱼) that got into Lake Erie in 2004, no Asian carp have been found in the Great Lakes — just traces of their genes, known as “environmental DNA”, or eDNA. Those genes could have come from feces or scales (粪便或鳞片) in the water, but U. S. Geological Survey fish biologist Duane Chapman says the pattern of where they were found suggests more than that.
“By far the most likely explanation of those samples is there are one or more live fish of each species (bighead and silver carp) in the Great Lakes,” he says. “I find it hard to believe that the pattern of samples they've found could come from any other source.”
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began building a series of electric barriers along the Chicago Ship and Sanitary Canal in 2002, aimed at keeping Asian carp and other invasive species out of the Great Lakes. But if there really are Asian carp on the lake side of the electric barriers, how could they have gotten there?
“The simple answer is we don't know,” says U.S. Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Ashley Spratt. “They were specifically designed to keep them from getting into the lake, and they have been very effective. Now the Army Corps is working to speed up construction of a new electronic barrier to strengthen the existing barriers.”
The eDNA has renewed calls to shut down the shipping locks (水闸) altogether, which leaders in Chicago and Illinois oppose. They've drawn support from the Obama administration, but the anger of other Great Lakes states — Michigan sued (提出诉讼) to close the locks last year, and although the U. S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania are pushing ahead with another lawsuit aimed at closing them permanently. President Obama has tried to calm the situation by giving $78.5 million to carp control — a plan that would open the locks less and use poison more — but critics argue that only closing the locks can keep the carp out.
1.Duane Chapman seems to believe that ________.
A.the Asian carp's genes come from other lakes
B.the research on the eDNA lacks experimental evidence
C.no Asian carp can survive in the Great Lakes
D.there may be Asian carp living in the Great Lakes
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段可知,Chapman认为北美五大湖中可能已经有亚洲鲤鱼存在了。
2.Which of the following is TRUE of the electric barriers?
A.They were rebuilt by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 2002.
B.They were designed to keep threatened species in the Great Lakes.
C.They are meant to help prevent Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes.
D.They are going to be replaced by a new barrier soon.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“They were ... and they have been very effective”可知,在水中安装电栅栏的方法对防止亚洲鲤鱼入侵北美五大湖很有帮助。
3.Which of the following states is against closing the shipping locks?
A.Illinois. B.Wisconsin.
C.Ohio. D.Pennsylvania.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句的“which leaders in Chicago and Illinois oppose”可知,伊利诺伊州反对关闭水闸。
4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A.critics don't think closing the locks will be effective
B.most Great Lakes states want the locks closed
C.Michigan supports keeping the locks open
D.the attitude of the U.S. Supreme Court is uncertain
解析:选B 细节推理题。根据最后一段第二句“... the anger of other Great Lakes states ... Michigan, Minnesota ... aimed at closing them permanently”可知,大多数五大湖地区的州要求关闭水闸。
5.The underlined word“declined”in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A.refused B.offered
C.advised D.delayed
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania are pushing ahead with another lawsuit aimed at closing them permanently”可知这些州想继续起诉,目的是永久性关闭水闸,可知最初的诉讼被驳回了,故选A项。

The wait is over for Great Britain's men's and women's national basketball teams.
Basketball's international ruling body, FIBA voted, 17—3, to include Team Great Britain in the 2012 Olympic tournaments during its Sunday
meeting in Lyon, France.
It's usually nearly automatic for the host country to be awarded a spot in the Olympic tournament, but the British teams had to prove they were worthy due to their weak competitive history. The British national teams have undertaken significant reorganization, and consequently won more games over the past two years of international play. The changes were significantly aided by adding NBA and American university players.
The road to the London Games would have been difficult without the automatic bids, as both the men's and women's teams would have reached the finals of this summer's Eurobasket tournaments.
“I'm really excited. We're really happy to get it,” Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng, who will be one of the biggest stars of the British Olympic team, told the BBC. “We've been waiting for this decision for a while. We put in a lot of work to get where we are. This is great for basketball back home. Basketball has been getting better and better and this is another step to where we want to get.”
Former NBA forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu, also part to Team Great Britain, added, “The_thought_that_I_could_miss_out_on_the_Olympics_in_my_hometown_has_been_haunting_me_for_a_while,_but_now_it's_something_to_look_forward_to. Although we've got it now, I don't think it will sink in for a while.”
The British men's team has only been in the Olympics once, and that was when London hosted the games in 1948. The British women have never participated in the Olympic tournament.
FIBA's welcome news comes with an order that Great Britain's basketball federation must make further organizational progress. The English, Scottish and Welsh basketball federations merged temporarily in 2006 in an effort to qualify for the 2012 Games. They now must decide to make their new entity permanent, or be forced to disband after the 2016 Rio de Janiero Olympics.
6.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Britain was awarded a spot in 2012 Olympic Basketball Field
B.Basketball in Britain has been getting better and better
C.Britain will attend the 2016 Rio de Janiero Olympics
D.Britain's weak competitive history in basketball
解析:选A 主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句及第二段第一句可知,本文主要报道大不列颠篮球队被允许参加2012奥运会。B、C两项是事实但不是主要内容。D项在文章第二段被一笔带过也不是最好的题目,故选A。
7.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It will be the second time for the British men's and women's teams to be in the Olympics in 2012.
B.The British teams had proved they were worthy.
C.Former NBA forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu missed out on the Olympics in his hometown.
D.Team Great Britain's being included in the 2012 Olympics was decided by FIBA's voting.
解析:选D 正误判断题。根据倒数第二段可知A不正确,男队是第二次而女队是第一次。B与第二段第一句“... but the British teams had to prove they were worthy due to their weak competitive history.”不符;C与倒数第三段不符。D与第一段第二句“... to include Team Great Britain in the 2012 Olympic tournaments ...”相符,故选D。
8.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Mensah regretted missing out the Olympics in his hometown.
B.Mensah was happy with the 2012 Olympics and looking forward to it.
C.Mensah was uncertain of the 2012 Olympics.
D.Mensah won't take part in the 2012 Olympics.
解析:选B 细节理解题。引号里的话句意为“我有可能会错过参加家乡的奥运会的想法一直萦绕在我心头,但是现在FIBA的决定已经把这变成是可以期望的事,尽管我们现在刚得到这一消息,但它不会消失。”从而可知A、C、D错误,故选B。
9.What can you infer from the last paragraph?
A.The federations must be united and there is a long way to go for Great Britain to make progress in the 2012 Olympics.
B.The English, Scottish and Welsh basketball federations will disband after the 2016 Olympics.
C.Great Britain's basketball federation must make further organizational progress.
D.Only if they make their new entity permanent, will they win the match in the 2012 Games.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,伴随着这一消息而来的是大不列颠联盟能够得到进一步的组织上的成绩,C是事实不属于暗示,故排除;文中还指出,他们必须决定使新的实体长存,否则2016奥运会后只能解体,我们可推断出:新的联盟只有团结才能长存,并且对于他们要想在2012奥运会上取得成绩任重道远。故A正确,而D太绝对了。
10.What's the writer's attitude towards FIBA's news according to the passage?
A.subjective B.objective
C.critical D.optimistic
解析:选B 观点态度题。本文作者只是客观地报道这一事实,所以B正确。A“主观的”;B“客观的”;C“批判性的”;D“乐观的”。

[1] A new online service offers a simple way to let other people know how to say your name correctly.It lets others hear you say it yourself in your e-mail.
[2] Today, more people from different cultures work, live and study together.Some worry that having a difficult name could limit them.Sheetal Dube and her husband came to the United States from India seven years ago.She said, “My name, Sheetal, is a very common Indian name and in India people would just know how to pronounce it.But I realize American people find it hard to pronounce.”
[3] Ms Dube now owns a new company called Audioname.She came up with the idea after doing a presentation with someone she worked with.She said, “My colleague was Mary and it was very easy for everyone in the room to say ‘Mary's findings showed this.’ But it's very difficult to say ‘Sheetal's findings showed this.’ So that's where this idea really stuck in my head.What if I just have an audio (音频的) name and I put it in my e-mail and they have a chance to hear it before they meet me?”
[4] The service is free.Ms Dube hopes her idea will help make introductions a little easier.“I created a Web application where people can go and ____________________in their own voice.After the recording, there is a little audio file which sits in a Web address which they can actually go and put in their e-mail signature on their website.So when they interact with other people, they can have this audio pronunciation next to their name.”
[5] Marketing specialist Larry Chiagouris advises people with really difficult names to consider using a nickname in their job search.Sheetal Dube says she heard of advice like that while researching her idea.She thinks a service like Audioname offers a better choice.
1.What does the new online service offer to people?(no more than 10 words)

[1] With many job postings (公开招聘) now requiring candidates to apply via e-mail, first impressions are made not with a handshake but with words on a computer screen.
[2] Just like it's usually a good idea to dress best for an interview, e-mails also should be refined (文雅高尚).________, here are some tips:
Forget what instant messaging has taught you
[3] Recruiters (招聘人员) report that young professionals often send overly casual e-mails, treating an application like an instant message (IM). When using IM with friends and acquaintances, it's acceptable to use shortened forms of words or phrases and incomplete sentences. In business correspondence, however, stick to the rules your Chinese and English teachers taught you.
Don't be cool
[4] Your lovely e-mail background of pets playing with each other has got to go.
[5] Comic fonts (字体) are unprofessional. HR managers recommend plain fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial, and black text on a white background. They also warn against sending e-mails from strange addresses. Littlebird@ or Chinatiger@ might not get what you hope for.
Don't be too creative in the subject line
[6] Use plain, simple language like “Talented candidate seeking position as [name of position]” or “Enthusiastic candidate seeking position with [name of company]”. Use one word to describe yourself, but do not go to extremes.
[7] The same rules apply to a paper resume and cover letter. Recruiters have only seconds to devote to each cover letter they receive. Many look at just three things: the positions you've held, the companies you've worked for, and your educational background. Anything else, such as a long story about yourself, can get in the way.
1.What do recruiters pay attention to when they receive an application letter? (no more than 15 words)
________________________________________________________________________
答案:The positions you've held, the companies you've worked for, and your educational background
2.What does the word “They”(Line 3, Paragraph 5) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________________
答案:HR managers.
3.According to the passage, what should an e-mail application be like? (no more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________
答案:It should be formal and simple.
4.Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases. (no more than 8 words)[
________________________________________________________________________
答案:To avoid failing your application / search
5.What's the purpose of this passage? (no more than 12 words)
________________________________________________________________________
答案:To give advice on e-mail manners that affect job-hunting results.

“You do not need to be a rocket scientist.” Americans hear these words often.People say them in schools,offices and factories. Broadcasters on radio and television often use them.
How did the expression begin? No one seems to know it,__1__“It grew,”he says,“Because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”
Not everyone would agree. Some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists, for example, a person who speaks fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. Still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets.__2__
Moving pictures from before World War Ⅱ showed a man named Buck Rogers landing on the planet Mars. He was a hero who could withdraw any enemy (敌军) from outer space. The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero.__3__
Rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. A Washington rocket scientist told about a launch (发射) that was put off many times. Finally,everything seemed right. Mechanical failures had been repaired. The weather was good. The scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. All the ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger areas had been warned. But in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area.__4__
__5__ One scientist said, “As a child I loved to build the rockets. Now I am a grown-up.I still love to build rockets. And now I get paid for it.”
A.He or she makes space travel possible.
B.It's dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets.
C.Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel.
D.When the work goes well, most rocket scientists enjoy their jobs.
E.Have you ever heard of the space travel?
F.But an official of the American space agency, NASA, says the expression just grew.
G.Once again, the launch was put off.

A.Let the sun in and go to bed early.
B.Don't make decisions in the morning.
C.Stretch the entire body.
D.Set your alarm earlier.
E.Brush your teeth to start a fresh day.
F.Get yourself prepared the night before.
1.
Go to sleep with your curtains halfway open. That way,the natural light of the rising sun will send a signal to your brain,a signal that it's time to wake up.When the alarm goes off, you'll already be half awake. Go to bed early enough so that waking up is easily done when the sun shines through the window.If you maintain this habit,you can rely on your biological clock rather than an alarm clock.
2.
Set your alarm a few minutes earlier so that you don't have to jump out of bed and rush through your morning. You can begin your morning by lying in bed, slowly waking up.These few minutes are very important for you to have a good day both mentally and physically.
3.
Stretch your body for 15 seconds.Try this even before you open your eyes. Lift your arm and stretch your each finger, then your hand, then your wrist, then your arm.Then move on to the other arm. Then your toes, feet, ankles and legs. Finally, end with a neck and back stretch that drives you out of the bed. You've just limbered (松弛) up your muscles and joints and enhanced the flow of blood through your body, providing an extra amount of oxygen to all your tissues.
4.
For truly relaxing mornings, reduce the number of choices and decisions you make to zero. You can do that in two ways: First,make your morning decisions the night before: what clothes to wear, what breakfast to eat,what route to take to work, and so on.Second, ritualize (定式化) your morning as much as possible. In other words, there's no need to vary your breakfast,timetable or other things from one morning to the next.
5.
There's no better way to rid yourself of morning breath. After all, more than 300 types of bacteria take up residence in your mouth every night.So you need a quick brush over the teeth to remove them and begin your day fresh and clean.

American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the United States. Today, more than 2,300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia.575,000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or the charter that permits it to operate.
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.[
Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.
However, state education agencies,local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs.Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.

In the middle of the 20th century people were worried about whales. The number of whales killed worldwide came up to 66,000 per year. However, people weren't worried about the whale as an endangered animal. Instead, they were worried about the whale industry, which would disappear if there were no whales. In 1946, the International Whaling Commission was established. It limited the whale hunting for every country and controlled the whale industry. But the commission recognized that the limitation wasn't enough. They set a worldwide law against hunting whales with only two exceptions: the hunt for scientific research and “aboriginal whaling”. Aboriginal whaling allows some countries to hunt a limited number of whales because it is a part of their culture. Some countries like Japan and Norway don't care about the law; they make excuses to hunt whales and sell the products. They only care about the money.
Many fishermen complain that dolphins, also a kind of whale, steal their fish. Therefore, they kill thousands of them. In fact, this is not the truth. In reality there are so many fishermen who steal the fish from each other. Some whale hunters say that they catch the animals for scientists. They have to research what whales are eating. For that, they kill them and look into their stomach. The truth is that they only want to sell the meat. Today scientists want to observe live whales for their research.
Many whale families are not protected and thousands of them are killed. Nobody knows if all whale families would survive, even if humans end all whale hunting today. The pollution of the oceans increases fast and the poison gets into the bodies of the animals. Many of them get sick and die. The human being has killed 90-95% of many whale families. Others are already extinct.
Today some international organizations try to protect whales. They make reports to explain how important and endangered whales are. Now people are becoming more interested in whales and a complete new industry has developed, whale watching, which you may want to learn about.
语篇解读:由于人类的捕杀和海水污染,鲸鱼成为了一种濒危动物。为了保护鲸鱼,1946年国际捕鲸委员会成立,并通过立法对捕鲸活动进行限制,但仍有人以种种借口捕杀鲸鱼,相关国际组织正努力保护鲸鱼。

A.more whales would be killed worldwide per year
B.the whale would become an endangered animal
C.the whale industry would disappear

解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead, they were worried about the whale industry, which would disappear if there were no whales”可知,人们真正担心的是捕鲸这一产业将会消失,故选C。
3.Why do many fishermen complain about dolphins?
A.Because dolphins steal their fish.
B.Because they want to make an excuse for killing dolphins.
C.Because there are so few dolphins for them to hunt.
D.Because people have misunderstood their purpose of hunting dolphins.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第二段讲的在现实中许多渔民偷彼此的鱼,及许多人以科学研究为借口大量捕杀鲸鱼,可推断渔民们抱怨海豚偷他们的鱼也是为自己捕杀海豚找借口,故选B。
4.What will the author probably tell us about next?
A.Whale watching. B.Whale hunters.
C.Whale hunting. D.Whale families.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Now people are becoming more interested in whales and a complete new industry has developed, whale watching, which you may want to learn about”可知,作者接下来可能要讲whale watching,故选A。

4.I couldn't do my homework with all that noise ________.

Dear Manager,
Much to my regret, I write this letter to have a complaint against one of your shop assistants concerning bad service in the course of our shopping yesterday.
Yesterday we bought a bottle of imported powdered milk from your supermarket. However, when it was opened, to our great surprise, we found that an ugly worm was “swimming” inside the powdered milk. Immediately, we took the bottle to the shop assistant who sold the powdered milk, hoping to get a satisfactory explanation. Things became worse when we asked for a sincere apology and another bottle of imported powdered milk. The shop assistant told us that he would meet our demands unless we could provide enough proof saying the worm was from Holland, as the letters on the bottle say it was made in Holland. What a joke!
Now we ask you to look into this matter. We demand that the shop assistant make an official apology to us and a new bottle of powdered milk be delivered to us as soon as possible.
Yours respectfully,
A faithful customer
