【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者放风筝的经过和感想。
【21题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：人们开始聚集在一起，手里端着茶杯，眼睛盯着天空。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词had started，所以glue应用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是eyes，两者间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词，表被动。故填glued。
【22题详解】
考查介词。句意：黄色的风筝在它的末端摇晃着，就在潮湿的草地上面。分析句子结构可知，此处考查的是固定短语：at the end of意为“在……末端”。故填at。
【23题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：风给了我一个合适的机会，所以我开始跑起来，我的运动鞋溅起水坑里的雨水，我的手抓着风筝线的一端，举过头顶。分析句子结构可知，空前是介词off后应接名词，所以空处应该用run的动名词形式。故填running。
【24题详解】
考查代词。句意：我已经很久很久没有这样做了，我怀疑自己是不是出丑了。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配：make spectacle of oneself意为“使某人自己出丑”，根据主语I可知，此处是指使我自己出丑。故填myself。
【25题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意：当我跑的时候，我让线轴在我的左手滚动，感觉线轴穿过我的右手时再次划破了我的手。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是状语从句，表达“当我跑步时”之意，所以空处应填when或者as意为“当……时”。故填when或as。
【26题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意：线轴转得更快了，玻璃线在我的右手掌上又划了一道口子。根据前文的“I ran harder”可知，“我”跑的跟快，所以线轴转得更快，应用比较级。故填faster。
【27题详解】
考查情态动词。句意：然而，疼痛并没有让我放慢脚步。分析句子结构可知，本句谓语动词为slow，且用的是原形，所以空处应填情态动词或者助动词，根据句意可知，此处表达“不能让我放慢脚步”之意，应用can，又本文描述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时。故填could。
【28题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在高处，我的风筝像钟摆一样左右倾斜，发出古老的纸鸟拍打翅膀的声音，我总是把它与喀布尔冬天的早晨联系起来。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是限定性定语从句，从句部分缺少宾语，所以应该用关系代词引导，先行词是sound，指物，应用which或者that。故填that或which。
【29题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：我从四分之一个世纪前就不再坐飞机了，但突然间我又回到了十二岁，我本能中的东西又涌了回来。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是主语从句，从句部分缺少主语，应用连接代词what引导，指代“我本能中的东西”。故填what。
【30题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：四周，孩子们互相追逐，在草地上滑倒。由空前的and可知，空处和空前的chased并列，所以空处应填slide的过去式slid。故填slid。

Ms. Schiller, the Iowa graduate, goes out often with friends at night but also lives on a digital diet of texting ___33___ enough that she recently hurt her thumb, Google chat and social media. As with many young people, talking on the phone was never a big part of her routine and is now ___34___ for the rarest of occasions.
There are physiological benefits to face-to-face ___35___ however, that doesn’t belong to digital interactions or the phone. “Your blood pressure goes down, and you imitate your friends gesture ___36___.” Ms. Flora said. “It’s a kind of harmony humans have developed over thousands of years, and you don’t get that when you only follow someone on social media.”
But now it’s common for the synchrony(同步性)to be ___37___ in person, thanks to smartphones. Imagine Edward Hopper’s 1942 painting “Nighthawks” (below) ___38___ today, with the three late-night diners and counterman all gazing at screens. “If there’s a(n) ___39___ of guys at a bar together and they’re all on their phones,” Ms. Flora said, “they’re not doing much to stimulate the body system to create the sense of ____40____.”

Section B
Directions: 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 just read.
(A)
Teenagers will be told to “stand up for their elders” on public transport—or risk losing their right to free travel.
London Mayor Boris Johnson will introduce plans lately to make youngsters sign a “courtesy pledge” to promise to behave in a respectful manner when traveling in the capital. The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly, pregnant and disabled; refrain(克制)from using offensive or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff. Those who refuse, or are caught behaving in a loutish manner, will have their free travel passes removed.
The plan—a key part of Mr. Johnson’s re-election bid—will first of all affect the 400,000 11-to-15 year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards.
Mr. Johnson said he was determined to solve the anti-social behavior of a “minority of youngsters” on public transport. “When I was a boy, I was taught to stand up for those less able to,” he said. “Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel, which is paid for by Londoners, but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility. Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away, and will have to earn that right back.”
Teenagers found guilty of a serious breach(违反)of the new behavior code will lose their travel passes, and will have to carry out unpaid community work to have them restored.
Mr. Johnson is also introducing a “two strikes and you’re out” policy to deal with repeat offenders, under which those committing a second breach of the code will lose their travel rights forever.”
56. What can be inferred about London teenagers’ behavior on public transport
A. All of them are ready to help the less able to.
B. They all extend a warm welcome to the “courtesy pledge”.
C. They will promise to be respectful to other passengers.
D. Some of them do not behave themselves.
57. Which of the following could probably be the meaning of “loutish”
A. respectful B. rude C. courteous D. threatening
58. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the introduction of the “courtesy pledge”
A. Urging some London teenagers to behave themselves on public transport
B. Winning people for the success of Mr. Boris Johnson’s re-election.
C. Eliminating London teenagers’ right to free travel on public transport
D. Trying to restore the awareness of responsibility on the part of some youngsters
59. Who will never restore their right to free travel on public transport
A. Those who have abused their privilege of free travel.
B. Those who refuse to offer their seats to the less able to.
C. Those who have done community work for pay.
D. Youngsters who have broken the courtesy code more than once.
【答案】56. D 57. B 58. C 59. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了英国决心纠正少部分人在公共交通上的一些不宜行为。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Mr. Johnson said he was determined to solve the anti-social behavior of a “minority of youngsters” on public transport.”（约翰逊说他决心要解决少数青年在公共交通上的反社会性质的行为）可知，此处指少数人行为不合规矩，需要被纠正，故选D项。
【57题详解】
词义猜测题。根据该词所在句“Those who refuse, or are caught behaving in a loutish manner, will have their free travel passes removed.”（那些拒绝或者被教育行为loutish的人，那会被剥夺免费通行的资格）可知，猜词与“拒绝文明宣言”之意相通，rude“粗鲁”符合句意，故选B项。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段提到的“Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel, which is paid for by Londoners, but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility. Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away, and will have to earn that right back”（年轻人可以享受免费通行待遇，这是由伦敦人支付的，但是他们必须理解他们的特权同时伴随着责任。任何滥用这种权力的人会被剥夺此权力，一旦剥夺需要自己重新努力获得）可知，剥夺他们的免费权力并非此次计划的原因，故选C项。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mr. Johnson is also introducing a “two strikes and you’re out” policy to deal with repeat offenders, under which those committing a second breach of the code will lose their travel rights forever.”（约翰逊也正在引入一个“二次打击出局”政策来处理累犯者，第二次违反的人将会永远失去他们的免费通行卡）可知，第二次违反规则的人将会被剥夺免费乘车权力，故选D项。

Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick I in the thirteenth century, it may be hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.
Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick I. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.
Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than in grammar.
Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy bear”. And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.
But speech has to be induced(激发), and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(咿呀声), grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s nonverbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.
63. Frederick I did the experiment to _____.
A. find out nursing is essential to a child’s language development
B. to confirm that good mothering ensures the survival of a child
C. to find out what a child would speak if raised in a no-human speech context
D. to confirm that many children would not grow up without learning to speak
64. If a child starts to speak later than others, _____.
A. he will certainly be stupid in adult years
B. he will not necessarily be less intelligent
C. his language development will be limited to babbling
D. he will be insensitive to verbal signals
65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Efficient nursing contributes to a child’s speech ability.
B. A child may never learn to speak if the sensitive periods are neglected.
C. Like a child, a monkeys’ brain can connect the sight and feel of an object.
D. A child can choose words and phrases that interest him and make new sentences
66. According to the passage, the writer seems to agree that _____.
A. when it comes to language, a child’s brain is highly selective
B. nonverbal signals affect a child’s language development as much as verbal ones
C. A child has his language ability developed randomly and irregardless of age as well
D. A mother’s brain is programmed to instruct language efficiently
【答案】63. C 64. B 65. D 66. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现儿童语言发育滞后与儿童是否受到好的呵护，语言敏感期时与外界的互动情况，以及语言发育阶段早晚有直接关系，而且母亲对儿童非语言性信号的敏感度是儿童语言发育的关键。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词Frederick I可以定位与该题相关的文中信息在第一段最后一“it may be hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.(他可能希望发现如果一个孩子没有听到母语，他会说什么语言，他告诉护士保持沉默。)”。由该句话可知，实验的目的是孩子在听不到母亲话语的情况下会说什么语言，与选项C“To find out what a child would speak if raised in a no-human speech context.(找出一个孩子在没有人说话的环境中长大会说什么)”的信息一致。故选C项。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.(专家建议，言语阶段是以固定的顺序和恒定的年龄实现的，但在某些情况下，言语开始得很晚的孩子最终被证明却是高智商的。)”可知，语言发育滞后的孩子不一定就是智商低的，与选项B中的“he will not necessarily be less intelligent.(他不一定不那么聪明)”信息一致。故选B项。
【65题详解】
细节理解题。该题为判断是非题，使用排除法。A项“Efficient nursing contributes to a child’s speech ability.(有效的护理有助于孩子的言语能力）。”文中未涉及；B项“A child may never learn to speak if the sensitive periods are neglected.（如果忽视敏感时期，孩子可能永远无法学会说话。)”与文中第三段“If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.(如果忽略了这些敏感时期，那么获得技能的理想时间就会过去，他们可能再也不会那么容易学习了。)”表述的信息有偏差；根据第五段中的“What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy bear”.(与猴子相比，人类大脑的特别之处在于复杂的系统，它使孩子能够将玩具熊的视觉和感觉与声音模式“玩具熊”联系起来。)”可知C项错误；根据第五段最后一句“And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.(更令人难以置信的是，年轻的大脑能够从他周围的声音混合物中挑选出语言的顺序，以新的方式分析、组合和重新组合语言的各个部分。)”可知，与D项“A child can choose words and phrases that interest him and make new sentences (孩子可以选择他感兴趣的单词和短语并制作新句子)”表述的信息一致。故选D项。
【66题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.(更令人难以置信的是，年轻的大脑能够从他周围的声音混合物中挑选出语言的顺序，以新的方式分析、组合和重新组合语言的各个部分。)”以及尾段最后一句“Sensitivity to the child’s nonverbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.(对孩子的非语言信号的敏感性对语言的成长和发展至关重要。)”可知，孩子对周围的非语言信息的敏感度是孩子语言发展和成长的关键，儿童的大脑会对这些信息进行选择性的加工，结合第3小题的D项可确定答案。故选A项

Is Education A Robbery
One of our expectations about education is that it will pay off in terms of upward mobility. However, since the 1970s, high-school graduates have experienced a striking decrease in earnings, making them the first generation since World War Two to face a lower standard of living than their parents had.
Experts have argued that this imbalance between education and economy is at the heart of the problem of public education today. It is not, as business leaders claim, that the schools are turning out young people inadequately prepared to function in the workplace. ____67____.
College graduates also are having difficulty finding jobs. Even when they do, the jobs may not go with their training and expectations. Part of the problem is that too many young Americans aspire to have professional jobs, making disappointment and frustration inevitable for some. Many students assumed that what was true of an individual—that the higher the education, the better the job opportunities—would also be true for an entire society. But when the numbers of better-educated young people became too great, the economy could no longer absorb them.
____68____. That assumption is another part of the problem. In fact, employers do not routinely reward educational attainment; rather, they reward it only when they believe it will contribute to the employee’s productivity.
We should not overlook the fact that there is still a strong connection between education, occupation, and income. ____69____. But the payoff is neither as large nor as certain as it once was.
Unfortunately, Americans have focused so strongly on the economic payoff that many consider their college education useless if it does not yield a desirable, well-paying job. ____70____. We could argue that all or at least the majority of Americans would profit by some degree because higher education can enable the individual to think more deeply, explore more widely, and enjoy a greater range of experiences.
A. College graduates have a strong advantage over those with less education. B. Greater educational attainment guarantees career advancement. C. They will have no alternative but to settle for lower-paying jobs. D. The real problem is a lack of economic opportunities for students not continuing on to college. E. Income balance is just too romantic to be realistic between young people. F. Only in this sense can we speak of an “oversupply” of college graduates.
【答案】67. D 68. B 69. A 70. F
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。文章针对高学历没有带来高回报的现象，分析了美国的公共教育问题的核心——教育和经济之间的不平衡——的原因。
【67题详解】
根据上文“Experts have argued that this imbalance between education and economy is at the heart of the problem of public education today. It is not, as business leaders claim, that the schools are turning out young people inadequately prepared to function in the workplace. (专家们认为，这种教育和经济之间的不平衡是当今公共教育问题的核心。这并不像商界领袖所声称的那样，是学校培养出的年轻人没有为在职场中发挥作用做好充分准备)”可知，当今公共教育问题的核心是教育和经济之间的不平衡，这个现象不是因为学校培养出的年轻人没有为在职场中发挥作用做好充分准备。由此推知，空处陈述这种现象的真正原因。D项“The real problem is a lack of economic opportunities for students not continuing on to college. (真正的问题是没有继续上大学的学生缺乏经济机会)”符合文意。故选D项。
【68题详解】
根据下文“That assumption is another part of the problem. In fact, employers do not routinely reward educational attainment; rather, they reward it only when they believe it will contribute to the employee’s productivity. (这种假设是问题的另一部分。事实上，雇主通常不会奖励学历；相反，只有当他们相信这有助于提高员工的生产力时，他们才会给予奖励)”可知，高学历的员工只有在工作中提高了生产力才能得到奖励，此处的In fact表明，下文是对上文情况的具体阐述，且是与假设相反的现实情况，句中的That assumption应指代上文的信息，B项“Greater educational attainment guarantees career advancement. (更高的教育水平保证了职业发展)”符合语意，衔接连贯顺畅。故选B项。
【69题详解】
上文“We should not overlook the fact that there is still a strong connection between education, occupation, and income. (我们不应该忽视这样一个事实：教育、职业和收入之间仍然有很强的联系)”，A项“College graduates have a strong advantage over those with less education. (大学毕业生比教育程度较低的人有很大优势)”，A项内容是对上一句“教育、职业和收入之间仍然有很强的联系”的原因解释，且与下文“But the payoff is neither as large nor as certain as it once was. (但回报已不像以前那么大，也不像以前那么确定)”为转折关系，语意衔接连贯。故选A项。
【70题详解】
上文“Unfortunately, Americans have focused so strongly on the economic payoff that many consider their college education useless if it does not yield a desirable, well-paying job. (不幸的是，美国人过于关注经济回报，以至于许多人认为，如果大学教育不能给他们带来一份理想的、高薪的工作，他们的大学教育就毫无用处) ，F项“Only in this sense can we speak of an ‘oversupply’ of college graduates. (只有在这个意义上，我们才能说大学毕业生‘供过于求’)”中的in this sense指代的上文中提到的情况，上下文为顺接关系，语意一致，衔接连贯。故选F项。
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
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.
Nowadays, leaders the world over are busy mapping out blueprints for a new age with environmental protection high on their agenda. Sustainable development hits headlines almost every day. It is of utmost importance to restore the harmonious balance between man and nature, given the damage we’ve already done to it.
First of all, we must realize that man and nature are interactive. To begin with, we derive everything from nature. Among other things, I’m sure you’ve all tasted natural produce that is otherwise known as green food. And you must have noticed that nearly all beautifying products boast of being natural creams, natural lotions or natural gels. For man, nature has an irresistible appeal.
But on the other hand we must also realize that nature can be unruly. Nature is indeed like a riddle, some areas of which are beyond the reach of science and technology, at least in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the advancement of science and technology will still characterize the next millennium. The coming new age will provide many opportunities, but it will be likewise run of challenges. For instance, United Nations’ demographers predict that global population could soar from its current 5.9 billion to as many as 11.2 billion by 2050. This will worsen the current scarcity of natural resources caused by environmental degradation. More conflicts over this scarcity may occur with the ghost of nuclear wars always hiding in the background. To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask what governments can do to achieve the harmony between man and nature. We must ask ourselves what we as individuals can do.
Can we all be economical with food, water, electricity or other resources Can we, or rather, some greedy ones among us, stop making rare plants and animals into delicious dishes Can we stop using the unrecyclable style of lunch boxes If not, one day they may bury us in an ocean of white rubbish. After all, the earth is not a dustbin; it’s our common home.
71.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A possible version
To achieve harmony between man and nature, people must be aware that although they are interactive, nature is not always at man’s mercy. Science and technology will be advancing, but population explosion will result in worsening environment. To maintain sustainable development, both governments and individuals should fulfill their promise of protecting the earth—our common home.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，要实现人与自然的和谐，人们必须认识到，虽然人与自然是相互作用的，但自然并不总是听命于人。科学技术将会进步，但人口爆炸将导致环境恶化。为了保持可持续发展，政府和个人都应该履行他们的承诺，保护地球——我们共同的家园。

Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
72. 一座新的地铁站正在建设中。(under) （汉译英）
【答案】A new subway station is under construction.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、名词和时态。“一座新的地铁站”译为：a new subway station；根据提示词“under”，“在建设中”可译为：be under construction，under为介词，construction是名词，表示“建设”，为不可数名词；根据句意，用一般现在时。故答案为：A new subway station is under construction.
73. 在湖泊旁边建一座化工厂的计划令村民们喜忧参半。(mixed) （汉译英）
【答案】The villagers had mixed feelings/emotions about the plan to have a chemical plant built beside the lake.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态及非谓语动词作定语。根据句意可知，该句描述的是已经发生完的事情，故时态为一般过去时。根据汉语提示，“在湖泊旁边”的英文表达为beside the lake，在句中作地点状语，通常放句尾。“化工厂”的英文表达为chemical plant，“建一座化工厂”可用have sth. done (让某事被做)表达，表示为have a chemical plant built，用其不定式形式，作“计划”的后置定语，“计划”的英文表达为plan，是可数名词，以单数形式出现在句中时，前要有限定词，该句表示已知的、特定的计划，故用定冠词the来限定。“村民们”的英文表达为villagers。根据提示词mixed“混合的，好坏参半的”，“喜忧参半”可表示为mixed feelings/emotions。“计划令村民们喜忧参半”可表示为the villagers had mixed feelings/emotions about the plan。故答案为The villagers had mixed feelings/emotions about the plan to have a chemical plant built beside the lake.
74. 做医生的再怎么细心也不嫌过，因为通常情况下他的每一个决定都是生死攸关的。(too) （汉译英）
【答案】A doctor cannot be too careful, because, in most cases, every decision of his means the difference between life and death.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、动词、形容词和短语。分析句意可知，本句的时态可用一般现在时。表示“医生”用名词doctor，作主语，doctor前可用不定冠词an表泛指；表示“再怎么细心也不嫌过”用固定搭配cannot be too careful，作谓语；表示“因为”用连词because，引导原因状语从句；表示“在通常情况下”用固定短语in most cases；表示“决定”可用名词 decision，所以“他的每一个决定”可用短语every decision of his，在从句中作主语；表示“是” 可用动词mean，在从句中作谓语，且用动词的第三人称单数形式；表示“生死攸关”可用短语the difference between life and death，在从句中作宾语。故答案为A doctor cannot be too careful, because, in most cases, every decision of his means the difference between life and death。
75. 这所建于清朝的老房子一经被人蓄意烧毁，这个家族的秘密也因此披露于众。(No sooner) (汉译英)
【答案】No sooner had the old house, constructed in the Qing Dynasty, was deliberately set on fire/set on fire on purpose than revealing the secret of the family was revealed/exposed/made known to the public/made public.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和部分倒装。表示“一……就……”应用no sooner…than…，谓语句首需用部分倒装，表示“这所建于清朝的老房子”翻译为the old house, constructed in the Qing Dynasty；表示“被人蓄意烧毁”翻译为be deliberately set on fire/set on fire on purpose，为一般过去时的被动语态；表示“这个家族的秘密也因此披露于众”翻译为revealing the secret of the family was revealed/exposed/made known to the public/made public，句子用一般过去时的被动语态。故翻译为No sooner had the old house, constructed in the Qing Dynasty, was deliberately set on fire/set on fire on purpose than revealing the secret of the family was revealed/exposed/made known to the public/made public.

【答案】As for how to efficiently read English coaching papers, some teachers suggest that, when meeting with new vocabulary, students should rely on the context to guess out the meaning rather than consult the dictionary for each and every new word, while others hold that students should turn to dictionaries and put down the new words and expressions in their notebooks. Personally, I prefer the second one.
As far as I know, building up vocabulary is a never-ending task for the learner, and it’s especially the case with a foreign language acquisition. I don’t have an adequate command of its vocabulary to express myself, and neither do I grow up familiar with the specific foreign culture. So never will I do a satisfactory meaning guessing. I believe that an ever increasing vocabulary may be the one and only way to drag myself out of the dilemma.

People living in urban areas in the UK are encouraged to keep bees in their gardens or on roofs. This suggestion was put forward by Natural England, an environmental organization. It wants to stop the bee populations from dropping. Natural England suggests that more people who live in urban areas should set up beehives and grow insect friendly plants
Nearly all the UK’s 250 kinds of bees are in decline.Experts say keeping the bee populations is very important for plants and crops because bees do them a lot of good. Honey itself is also thought to be worth between f 10 m and f 30 m to the UK economy.
The first of the newly designed urban beehives is going to be set up on the roof of Natural Langland’s central London office.
Natural England suggests people think carefully about the things they need to to to keep bees. It also encourage people to seek professional advice before making a decision.

The child was still alive when emergency workers reached her, but died in their arm as they tied desperately to keep her breathing.The girt’s mother was last night critically ill and fighting for life after being taken by helicopter to St George’s Hospital for emergency brain surgery. Close to where the girl lay was the body of her father, a builder,who had also shot himself in the head.
Police were called to the scene by neighbors who heard the shooting around 10 a. m. yesterday. Detective Inspector Darren Rawlings said that at this stage the evidence would suggest that it was a domestic incident and police are not seeking anyone else at the moment.

Relationship in the Digital Age
People from our past whom we no longer directly communicate with but who are active on social networks can “occupy ___31___ space in your mind, and you think about them instead of about your close friends,” said Carlin Flora, the author of “Friend-fluence: The Surprising Ways Friends Make Us Who We are.”

Section B
Directions: 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 just read.
(A)
Teenagers will be told to “stand up for their elders” on public transport—or risk losing their right to free travel.
London Mayor Boris Johnson will introduce plans lately to make youngsters sign a “courtesy pledge” to promise to behave in a respectful manner when traveling in the capital. The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly, pregnant and disabled; refrain(克制)from using offensive or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff. Those who refuse, or are caught behaving in a loutish manner, will have their free travel passes removed.
The plan—a key part of Mr. Johnson’s re-election bid—will first of all affect the 400,000 11-to-15 year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards.
Mr. Johnson said he was determined to solve the anti-social behavior of a “minority of youngsters” on public transport. “When I was a boy, I was taught to stand up for those less able to,” he said. “Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel, which is paid for by Londoners, but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility. Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away, and will have to earn that right back.”
Teenagers found guilty of a serious breach(违反)of the new behavior code will lose their travel passes, and will have to carry out unpaid community work to have them restored.
Mr. Johnson is also introducing a “two strikes and you’re out” policy to deal with repeat offenders, under which those committing a second breach of the code will lose their travel rights forever.”
56. What can be inferred about London teenagers’ behavior on public transport
A. All of them are ready to help the less able to.
B. They all extend a warm welcome to the “courtesy pledge”.
C. They will promise to be respectful to other passengers.
D. Some of them do not behave themselves.
57. Which of the following could probably be the meaning of “loutish”
A. respectful B. rude C. courteous D. threatening
58. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the introduction of the “courtesy pledge”
A. Urging some London teenagers to behave themselves on public transport
B. Winning people for the success of Mr. Boris Johnson’s re-election.
C. Eliminating London teenagers’ right to free travel on public transport
D. Trying to restore the awareness of responsibility on the part of some youngsters
59. Who will never restore their right to free travel on public transport
A. Those who have abused their privilege of free travel.
B. Those who refuse to offer their seats to the less able to.
C. Those who have done community work for pay.
D. Youngsters who have broken the courtesy code more than once.

Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick I in the thirteenth century, it may be hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.
Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick I. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.
Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than in grammar.
Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy bear”. And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.
But speech has to be induced(激发), and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(咿呀声), grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s nonverbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.
63. Frederick I did the experiment to _____.
A. find out nursing is essential to a child’s language development
B. to confirm that good mothering ensures the survival of a child
C. to find out what a child would speak if raised in a no-human speech context
D. to confirm that many children would not grow up without learning to speak
64. If a child starts to speak later than others, _____.
A. he will certainly be stupid in adult years
B. he will not necessarily be less intelligent
C. his language development will be limited to babbling
D. he will be insensitive to verbal signals
65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Efficient nursing contributes to a child’s speech ability.
B. A child may never learn to speak if the sensitive periods are neglected.
C. Like a child, a monkeys’ brain can connect the sight and feel of an object.
D. A child can choose words and phrases that interest him and make new sentences
66. According to the passage, the writer seems to agree that _____.
A. when it comes to language, a child’s brain is highly selective
B. nonverbal signals affect a child’s language development as much as verbal ones
C. A child has his language ability developed randomly and irregardless of age as well
D. A mother’s brain is programmed to instruct language efficiently
Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. 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.
Is Education A Robbery
One of our expectations about education is that it will pay off in terms of upward mobility. However, since the 1970s, high-school graduates have experienced a striking decrease in earnings, making them the first generation since World War Two to face a lower standard of living than their parents had.
Experts have argued that this imbalance between education and economy is at the heart of the problem of public education today. It is not, as business leaders claim, that the schools are turning out young people inadequately prepared to function in the workplace. ____67____.
College graduates also are having difficulty finding jobs. Even when they do, the jobs may not go with their training and expectations. Part of the problem is that too many young Americans aspire to have professional jobs, making disappointment and frustration inevitable for some. Many students assumed that what was true of an individual—that the higher the education, the better the job opportunities—would also be true for an entire society. But when the numbers of better-educated young people became too great, the economy could no longer absorb them.
____68____. That assumption is another part of the problem. In fact, employers do not routinely reward educational attainment; rather, they reward it only when they believe it will contribute to the employee’s productivity.
We should not overlook the fact that there is still a strong connection between education, occupation, and income. ____69____. But the payoff is neither as large nor as certain as it once was.
Unfortunately, Americans have focused so strongly on the economic payoff that many consider their college education useless if it does not yield a desirable, well-paying job. ____70____. We could argue that all or at least the majority of Americans would profit by some degree because higher education can enable the individual to think more deeply, explore more widely, and enjoy a greater range of experiences.
A. College graduates have a strong advantage over those with less education. B. Greater educational attainment guarantees career advancement. C. They will have no alternative but to settle for lower-paying jobs. D. The real problem is a lack of economic opportunities for students not continuing on to college. E. Income balance is just too romantic to be realistic between young people. F. Only in this sense can we speak of an “oversupply” of college graduates.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
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.
Nowadays, leaders the world over are busy mapping out blueprints for a new age with environmental protection high on their agenda. Sustainable development hits headlines almost every day. It is of utmost importance to restore the harmonious balance between man and nature, given the damage we’ve already done to it.
First of all, we must realize that man and nature are interactive. To begin with, we derive everything from nature. Among other things, I’m sure you’ve all tasted natural produce that is otherwise known as green food. And you must have noticed that nearly all beautifying products boast of being natural creams, natural lotions or natural gels. For man, nature has an irresistible appeal.
But on the other hand we must also realize that nature can be unruly. Nature is indeed like a riddle, some areas of which are beyond the reach of science and technology, at least in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the advancement of science and technology will still characterize the next millennium. The coming new age will provide many opportunities, but it will be likewise run of challenges. For instance, United Nations’ demographers predict that global population could soar from its current 5.9 billion to as many as 11.2 billion by 2050. This will worsen the current scarcity of natural resources caused by environmental degradation. More conflicts over this scarcity may occur with the ghost of nuclear wars always hiding in the background. To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask what governments can do to achieve the harmony between man and nature. We must ask ourselves what we as individuals can do.
Can we all be economical with food, water, electricity or other resources Can we, or rather, some greedy ones among us, stop making rare plants and animals into delicious dishes Can we stop using the unrecyclable style of lunch boxes If not, one day they may bury us in an ocean of white rubbish. After all, the earth is not a dustbin; it’s our common home.

As for how to efficiently read English coaching papers, some teachers suggest that, when meeting with new vocabulary, students should rely on the context to guess out the meaning rather than consult the dictionary for each and every new word, while others hold that students should turn to dictionaries and put down the new words and expressions in their notebooks. Personally, I prefer the second one.
As far as I know, building up vocabulary is a never-ending task for the learner, and it’s especially the case with a foreign language acquisition. I don’t have an adequate command of its vocabulary to express myself, and neither do I grow up familiar with the specific foreign culture. So never will I do a satisfactory meaning guessing. I believe that an ever increasing vocabulary may be the one and only way to drag myself out of the dilemma.

Directions: In Section B. you will hear two short passages several and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of them. 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 is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
People living in urban areas in the UK are encouraged to keep bees in their gardens or on roofs. This suggestion was put forward by Natural England, an environmental organization. It wants to stop the bee populations from dropping. Natural England suggests that more people who live in urban areas should set up beehives and grow insect friendly plants
Nearly all the UK’s 250 kinds of bees are in decline.Experts say keeping the bee populations is very important for plants and crops because bees do them a lot of good. Honey itself is also thought to be worth between f 10 m and f 30 m to the UK economy.
The first of the newly designed urban beehives is going to be set up on the roof of Natural Langland’s central London office.
Natural England suggests people think carefully about the things they need to to to keep bees. It also encourage people to seek professional advice before making a decision.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage
A four year-old girl was shot in the head by her father yesterday,apparently as he quarreled with her mother over rights to see the child.
As the girl fell to the ground with fatal brain injuries, the men opened fire on her mother, from whom he had recently separated, leaving her critically injured. The child was still alive when emergency workers reached her, but died in their arm as they tied desperately to keep her breathing.The girt’s mother was last night critically ill and fighting for life after being taken by helicopter to St George’s Hospital for emergency brain surgery. Close to where the girl lay was the body of her father, a builder,who had also shot himself in the head.
Police were called to the scene by neighbors who heard the shooting around 10 a. m. yesterday. Detective Inspector Darren Rawlings said that at this stage the evidence would suggest that it was a domestic incident and police are not seeking anyone else at the moment.
