Every year，TIME makes a list of the year’s most influential(有影响的) people，which is called the “TIME 100”．The magazine publishes a special issue with a picture and a profile_of each person.This year’s “TIME 100” included politicians，business leaders，scientists，athletes，artists and entertainers.
To celebrate，TIME held a party，and invited all of the people who wrote the description and the 100 people themselves.This year’s party was held on Tuesday，May 5，at the Time Warner Center in New York City.The event was great.First Lady Michelle Obama was there，and so were Oprah Winfrey and financial expert Suze Orman.
Being the only kid there，I was treated like all the adults there，walking the red carpet and having conversa-tions with Robin Chase.I was lucky to be chosen to write the brief description of Jeff Kinney.When I interviewed him in December for TIME for Kids，I asked him if he had any advice for kids who want to do what he does when they grow up.“Yes，” he told me.“If they want to be a cartoonist，they should copy as many people as possible.”
During dinner，there were entertaining performances by comedian(喜剧演员)Jimmy Fallon and singer John Legend.TIME’s top editor Rock Stengel，Oprah Winfrey，and Mrs. Obama gave toasts and speeches.It was exciting to hear all of these amazing people speak and to be just a few feet away from the First Lady.That night was certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

A．A brief introduction to TIME.
B．This year’s 100 most influential people.
C．What people usually do at the “TIME 100” party.
D．The writer’s experience at the “TIME 100” party.
2． What does the underlined word “profile” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．poem B．description
C．story D．report
3． We can know from the passage that the writer was invited because________.
A．TIME wanted a kid to be there
B．he knew one of the “TIME 100”
C．he had to perform at the party
D．he was the writer of the description of Jeff Kinney
4． By saying it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience，the writer most probably means
that________.

D．such kind of experience is not easy to have

Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past.There are not many people who seriously read a newspaper every day.Most people read only the sports pages，the advice or the gossip columns，the comics，and perhaps the classified advertisements.Most people don’t take the time to read the real news.They attempt to catch the readers’ interest with pictures and exciting headlines.These techniques are used on the front
page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper.The first page attracts attention and encourages the readers to look through the rest of the paper.This is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look.If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough，perhaps they will not go on to read the front page anymore.They may read the headlines，but that is all，then they turn to the sports page，or comics，or advertisements.
It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore.They say they get the news on the television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper.What about you？Do you read news from a newspaper？Do you think it is easier to get the news from television？Or don’t you care about news at all？Would you mind if there were no news?
1． According to the passage，newspapers are ________.
A．more popular today
B．less popular today
C．as popular as before
D．getting more and more popular
2． We can know from the passage that the newspaper editors think the important part of the
newspaper is ________.
A．the front page
B．the sports page
C．the headlines
D．the classified advertisements
3． According to the author，which of the following newspapers will most probably attract the
readers’ attention?

B．The ones with sports news on the front page.
C．The ones with classified ads on the front page.
D．The ones with gossip columns on the front page.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Holidays are really important.Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.
But holidays are expensive and，for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable.Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.
For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare.When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year.Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday.For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.
The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment.The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day.Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support.Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children’s welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils.During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.
While teachers are holidaying in the UK，many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live.The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.
In setting out its plans for a five-term year，Nottingham City Council(委员会) is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks，with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks，each followed by a two-week break.We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.
We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff，particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities.However，this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.
56．The passage is probably written by________.
A．an experienced teacher
B．a working parent
C．an inspired student
D．a city council member
57．It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to________.
A．2 weeks B．4.5 weeks C．5 weeks D．6 weeks
58．The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students ________.
A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs
B．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school
C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment
D．have more school days to receive free school meals
59．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out
C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”
D．some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday
B
Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth，imitation appears attractive；to those who know their strength，imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook，I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle；they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models.If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material；it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say，“I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory，and know that they are cheering me on.”
60．Imitation proves useful when you ________.
A．know you are unique
B．lose the balance of life
C．begin to learn something new
D．get tired of routine practice
61．To avoid the bad result of imitation，we should ________.
A．forget daily fear and pain
B．choose the right example
C．ask others for decisions
D．stay away from stars
62．According to the author，the world moves on because of those who are ________.
A．desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
D．willing to accept others’ ideas
63．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To highlight the importance of creativity.
B．To criticize the characters of role models.
C．To compare imitation with creation.
D．To explain the meaning of success.
C
Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying news.There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere，both at home and abroad.There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times.It began in 1785，and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news.It calls itself an independent paper，which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party.Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors，not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper.These parts of The Times are always interesting.Most of the letters are serious subjects.But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious，perhaps on a new fashion of dress，or the bad manners of the young people，compared with the manners of thirty years ago.
64．If you want to get pleasure，please buy yourself ________.
A．a serious newspaper B．a foreign newspaper
C．an independent paper D．a popular newspaper
65．The Times is an independent paper because ______.
A．it supports no political parties
B．it is not controlled by the British Government
C．it gives special support to all the political parties
D．the editors’ opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper
66．The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “________”．
A．improve
B．compete with each other
C．are different
D．keep in touch with each other
67．The writer tells us ________ in this passage.
A．all kinds of newspapers in Britain
B．all kinds of news in English papers
C．how The Times is liked by people
D．why The Times is well?known
D
A year after graduation，I was offered a position teaching a writing class.Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered，though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation，as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr.Davis.My father went by the same name，and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused.“Wait a minute，”someone might say，“are you talking about Mr.Davis the retired man，or Mr.Davis the respectable scholar？”
The position was offered at the last minute，and I was given two weeks to prepare，a period I spent searching for briefcase(公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror，repeating the words，“Hello，class.I’m Mr.Davis.”Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound experienced.But when the day eventually came，my nerves kicked in and the true Mr.Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor，but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper.I saw nine students along a long table.I handed out the cards，and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then，” I said.“Okay，here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk，offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk，overlooking a forest of hands.Every student would yell.“Calm down，you’ll all get your turn.One at a time，one at a time！”
A terrible silence ruled the room，and seeing no other opinions，I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
68．The author took the job to teach writing because________.
A．he wanted to be respected
B．he had written some stories
C．he wanted to please his father
D．he had dreamed of being a teacher
69．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?
A．He would be aggressive in his first class.
B．He was well-prepared for his first class.
C．He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.
D．He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
70．The author chose the composition topic probably because________.
A．he got disappointed with his first class
B．he had prepared the topic before class
C．he wanted to calm down the students
D．he thought it was an easy topic

Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown.Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger.You may probably miss your friends from high school.71.________ College is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends.The question is：how?
