Like politicians ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )who adopt accents to appeal to local audiences，the producers of potato chips vary the wording on their bags to convey their products’ authenticity in different ways to different buyers.【版权所有：21教育】
Actually，whe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther you eat an ordinary chip or the priciest chip，consumers of all social classes value the product that they think is the most authentic.To analyse class identity in food marketing，Josh Freedman，who graduated from Stanford，began a project by marching into grocery stores and photographing the language on potato chip bags，which attracted the stares of employers.
His analysis show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s that fans of economical brands can be reached with words indicating the chips are from “the same recipe that your grandmother used to make”．“Authenticity for consumers of inexpensive chips is rooted in tradition and home，”said Freedman.The wording on inexpensive chips might show off well known locations，or play upon the traditions of the company and its unique founder.For expensive potato chips，on the other hand，authenticity is realized through foreign or handmade processes and ingredients(原料成分) that are described as natural.The ingredients list may include “sea salt”．
Freedman also fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )und that advertisers attempting to draw consumers to expensive chips use rare words，more text and more complex grammar，along with more mentions of health.It’s consistent with the tendency for people with higher incomes to be well educated and health conscious.And expensive chips mention not only what they are，but also what they are not.The bags might call the chips unique or the finest and they are—unlike other chips—not fried，not fat.
Now Freedman can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )no longer look at restaurant menus without thinking about their careful wording.“It made me more aware of how we use language，”he said.“But the project hasn’t changed my snacking habits.I still don’t eat that many potato chips.”
1．Josh Freedman took photos in grocery stores to________.
A．search for inexpensive potato chips
B．attract the stares of employers
C．learn how to design food brands
D．make a study of food product package
2．Which may a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ppear on the inexpensive chip bags according to the text
A．An old family recipe for you.
B．Want a new product？Go for it!
C．All natural，no fry and no fat at all.
D．Hand made and sea salt contained，like it
3．What interested Josh Freedman most
A．Word used on food bags.
B．The colors of food bags.
C．Producers’ education level.
D．Designers of food bags.
4．It can be inferred from the text that Josh Freedman________. 21*cnjy*com
A．is a professional food producer
B．likes buying cheap potato chips
C．is interested in marketing psychology
D．seldom eats outside in restaurants
5．What is the text mainly about
A．The study of social classes.
B．Class identities on food products.
C．Advertisements in food marketing.
D．Different ways to increase products.

For me，my great ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) moment came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end I came here.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Last summer，a Canadian ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to come to the place where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said，“Come to our school.”“Okay，” I replied，but I wasn’t sure if I meant it.
We met later for c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )offee.She answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.
First of all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，in Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.Also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in English.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn’t hard here.Taxis are very cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.
I earn almos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent free apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food，but if you like it，you’ll be in heaven.
Here I have a good ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.In the US，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.
6．We can infer that at first the writer ________.
A．wasn’t interested in teaching abroad at all
B．wasn’t sure whether to accept the job to teach in Shanghai
C．knew she would be popular as a teacher in China
D．thought the Canadian Chinese woman was joking
7．According to the passage，it seems that ________.
A．there are no good restaurants for the writer in Shanghai
B．the writer sometimes feels lonely in Shanghai
C．the writer doesn’t like traveling in Shanghai
D．the writer likes her life in Shanghai
8．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．Living in a new place.
B．Dealing with a challenge.
C．Finding your way around.
D．Taking a taxi.
9．According to the last but one paragraph，the writer ________.
A．is satisfied with her weight
B．doesn’t have to pay for rent
C．doesn’t like eating vegetables
D．is crazy about the traditional Chinese food
10．We can infer the writer most probably ________.21世纪教育网版权所有
A．spends lots of money each month
B．lived alone when she was in the United States
C．had a very good job before she left her country
D．feels happy to have made the decision to teach in Shanghai21教育网

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Chocolate is so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) delicious，smooth and creamy.It’s been described as one of life’s little pleasure.Dieters can keep chocolate in their diets by just working it into their total calorie count.The average chocolate bar is 250 calories.
Most of the bad opin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions of chocolate are based on the fact that it contains fat and caffeine.The level of fat in chocolate is due to the presence of cocoa butter，which increases blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.On the other hand，it also contains something that lowers the risk of heart disease！A regular cup of coffee contains 130 to 150 milligrams of caffeine while one ounce of chocolate contains only six milligrams.At this rate，it’s better to give up coffee than chocolate.
In a study by Ho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lland’s National Institute of Public Health and Environment，chocolate was found to have four times the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) of green tea.Catechins(茶酸) are powerful antioxidants in the prevention of cancer and heart disease.One hundred milligrams of black tea contain 13.9 milligrams of catechins.The same weight of dark chocolate has 53.5 milligrams of catechins.21教育网
I know what y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou’re going to say，“What about chocolate and bad tooth？” No problem.Researchers found that the cocoa butter in chocolate coats the teeth while it’s being eaten，making it one of the least likely snacks to cause bad tooth.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
If you’re afraid y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou might be a chocoholic and won’t be able to stop at just one bar or reasonable handful，buy chocolate in smaller personal sized packs rather than large bars or bags.You can still enjoy chocolate.
1．The first paragraph mainly tells us that________.
A．it is really bad to eat chocolate in your life
B．chocolate is much better than anything else
C．it is a pleasure for you to have chocolate
D．chocolate contains too many calories
2．Chocolate is better than coffee because________.
A．chocolate can help lower the rate of heart disease
B．coffee contains much less caffeine
C．chocolate includes fat and caffeine
D．coffee helps you keep awake all along
3．According to the study，________.
A．black tea contains more catechins than chocolate
B．chocolate contains as much catechins as black tea
C．green tea is not good to keep your body strong
D．chocolate contains much more catechins than black tea
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．The more chocolate you eat the better you will be.
B．Having coffee every day is a bad habit for you.
C．Something in chocolate can protect your teeth.
D．In fact，chocolate is very harmful to your teeth.
5．Which of the following can be the best title
A．Chocolate Is Really Perfect
B．The Benefits of Chocolate
C．You’d Better Give up Green Tea
D．Coffee Is Really Harmful

Doctors say obesity，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lso known as severe overweight，is a complex condition.A doctor may advise medical interventions(医疗干预) in addition to changes in behavior.But experts say the more successful weight loss plans include a well balanced diet and exercise.
People who want to av ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use.To lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，or increase the number you use，or both.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say to lose weight，a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise most days of the week.This could include fast walking，sports or strength training.21教育网
A recent study look ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed at four of the most popular dieting plans in the United States.Researchers at Stanford University studied more than three hundred overweight women，mostly in their thirties or forties.Each woman went on one of the four plans：Atkins，The Zone，Ornish or LEARN.The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.At the end of a year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and a half kilograms on average.www.21-cn-jy.com
Christopher Gardn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er led the study，reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar.Also，he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals.【版权所有：21教育】
But last week，anothe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r report suggested that only a small minority of people have long term success in dieting.Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years.And often they gained back even more.But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.

One evening，Fath ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er was driving me home when a stranger stopped us and said he needed a ride badly.Hearing this，Father hesitated and advised that we go on our way.I nodded，though still feeling uneasy.The moment my father restarted the car，I changed my mind and signed him to get into the car.Several days later，we were very surprised to receive a letter from him，reading “Thank you so much for helping me so that I got to my dying wife’s side just before she passed away.God bless you for your unselfishness！”2-1-c-n-j-y
I have never regrette ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d what I have done to help strangers as I firmly believe that there is always goodness in the world.Besides，nobody can tell when he will be in trouble.What if everybody just looks on when you are in trouble？So，why not help 21*cnjy*com

Hawaii’s earliest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )residents were Polynesian voyagers，living there for more than 1,000 years before European explorers visited.The English explorer captain James Cook called them the Sandwich Islands in 1778 for the English Earl(伯爵)of Sandwich.Thankfully，that name didn’t last.How would you like to tell your friends you’re going to Sandwich on vacation
In 1820，New En ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gland missionaries(传教士)arrived and began to westernize the islands.In 1840，Britain，France，and the United States recognized Hawaii as an independent kingdom，headed by King Kamehameha Ⅲ.Yet Britain and France wanted to control the islands，and thus Kamehameha Ⅲ placed Hawaii under US protection in 1875.【版权所有：21教育】
In 1887，the United Sta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tes was given permission to set up a naval base in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor.Later，the King was overthrown(推翻)，and Hawaii was founded as a republic in 1893.The US control of the islands came five years later，when the United States annexed(兼并)Hawaii and it became a US region in 1900.
Under the influence o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the US，the population of Hawaii grew and its economy grew as well，as the islands increased sugar and pineapple production to satisfy the US mainland.Hawaii’s importance as a military station became important when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941.This brought the United States as well as Hawaii into World War Ⅱ.
Following the wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r’s end in 1945，the state took a long journey toward statehood.On August 21,1959，Hawaii was admitted to the union as the 50th state of the US.

The Josephson Instit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ute，a Los Angeles based ethics institute，surveyed 29,760 students at 100 high schools nationwide，both public and private.The survey found that 35% of boys and 26% of girls admitted stealing from a store within the past year and 64% have cheated on a test，which suggests that today’s young people are less honest than previous generations.
However，Joseph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )son addressed that today’s youth are no less honest than their ancestors.“The question is not whether things are worse，but whether they are bad enough to attract concern.This is not a time to complain but to take thoughtful，positive action.”
Roberta Gerold，directo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r of the Middle Country School District and a leader of the campaign，said parents and school officials need to be more diligent—for example，stressing to students the differences between original and borrowed work.“Adults are not taking this very seriously，”he said.“The schools are not doing even the most moderate thing.”21cnjy.com
Nijmie Dzurinko， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )executive director of the Philadelphia Student Union，said the findings were not at all reflective of the inner city students she works with as support for better curriculum and school funding.“A lot of people like to blame society’s problems on young people，without recognizing that young people aren’t making the decisions about what’s happening in society.”
Riddile，who for fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur decades was a high school teacher，agreed that more pressure could lead to more cheating，yet he said，“I would take these students over other generations.I found them to be more flexible，more rewarding to work with.We have to create situations where it’s easy for kids to do the right things.We need to create classrooms where learning takes on more important than having the right answer.”2·1·c·n·j·y
6．According to the survey，we know that more________.
A．public school students admitted stealing
B．private school students admitted stealing
C．students have cheated on a test
D．girls have cheated on a test
7．Who has been a teacher for 40 years according to the text
A．Josephson.
B．Roberta Gerold.
C．Nijmie Dzurinko.
D．Riddile.
8．According to Nijmie Dzurinko，we know that she________.www-2-1-cnjy-com
A．was surprised at the survey result
B．thought the survey is effective and useful
C．was not totally with the survey
D．was strongly touched by the survey
9．What can be inferred from Riddile’s words
A．The adults need to do much to help the young students.
B．The young students are better than other generations.21教育网
C．The teachers should be rewarded and respected more.
D．Classrooms should be rebuilt to create a better environment.
10．Who shoul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d take the responsibility for being less honest according to Roberta Gerold
A．The students.
B．Previous generations.
C．Public schools.
D．Parents and schools.

The Benefits of Helping Others
Most of us ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve needed help with something at some point in our lives.The old saying “no man is an island” is absolutely true.And where would we be if someone hadn’t been there to help us through 2-1-c-n-j-y
Humans seem to b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e born with the ability to help one another.The need to survive drives us to be there for one another，even strangers.In the United States，the practice of helping others can be traced back to the country’s origins when settlers first arrived on the land.The hardships of the group required each member to look out for the other.By taking care of the group，each person was in effect taking care of himself.
The benefits of help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing others can come in different forms.Of course there’s recognition.For some，recognition from others is a precious gift，and they need nothing more.
New research indica ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tes that helping others raises quality of life for the helpers themselves.When we volunteer our time to do something for others，such as helping out an elderly neighbour or taking part in a local community project，it can be good news for our health，our children’s study and even reduce the local crime rate，too.
Helping others ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also brings good feelings to the giver and the receiver of the good deeds.Using your special gifts to help others can be a_gift to yourself as you enjoy a self esteem(自尊心) boost for making others’ lives better and the world a better place.
Real happiness i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s difficult to define and is different for different peoples and cultures，but what is clear is that community and having strong relationships with others are key to achieving happiness.www.21-cn-jy.com
It’s been said that t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he best way to heal grief，or hurt is to help someone else heal theirs.Perhaps in doing so，we find the hope for ourselves.
11．The old saying in the first paragraph tells us that________.
A．each needs help
B．each needs to be independent
C．each must be a helper
D．each has life problems
12．The early settlers in the United States________.21世纪教育网版权所有
A．naturally developed the ability to overcome hardships
B．learnt to live an independent life quickly
C．had to depend on the help of natives to survive
D．had to live in a group to survive
13．The writer be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lieves that children from a volunteer’s family will be more likely to________.
A．grow physically strong
B．receive recognition from others
C．achieve higher grades
D．get used to a new school environment
14．What does “a gift”(underlined in Paragraph 5) refer to
A．A good relationship with others.
B．A positive feeling.
C．Praise from others.
D．Good health.
15．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To show the rewards of helping others.
B．To discuss the art of happiness.
C．To tell how to help ourselves by helping others.21教育名师原创作品
D．To tell how to heal grief.

Ⅱ.阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Studies show f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )armland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients.But researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Researchers wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nder how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops.American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perenniation.It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants—those that return year after year.
Soil scientist J ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ohn Reganold says，“One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions.So how do you grow food crops on poor soils？There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the yield.”
Mr.Reganold says poor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients.He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.
“They have been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) actually using farming practices where they’re not putting in organic matter.They’re not putting in fertilizers.They can’t afford those things.And it just runs the soil down.So they’re worsening the situation.”
The scientis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t says the word perenniation defines three systems that are already used in Africa.The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture.This is where farmers plant trees with their crops.Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years，and it seems to be growing in popularity.
The method i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger，Burkina Faso，Malawi and Zambia.The trees are planted among maize(玉米)，millet or sorghum crops.They not only add nitrogen(氮) to the soil through their roots，but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down.At other times of the year，the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.
John Reganold says he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )knows of one woman who has had great success with perenniation.
“She’s a grand ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mother in her fifties.Her name is Rhoda Mang’yana and she started using this system about twenty years ago.And her yields initially were about a ton of maize.Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare，four times what she was getting.”
26．The purpose of the passage is to________.
A．tell people how to increase production
B．introduce an agricultural system in Africa
C．introduce the oldest farming method in Africa
D．tell us how to prevent soil being poor
27．What does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the underlined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Being exposed to wind and rain.
B．Growing different crops.
C．Being polluted severely.
D．Being ploughed improperly.
28．According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage，which of the following statements is WRONG
A．Perenniation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants. 21*cnjy*com
B．Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.21教育名师原创作品
C．Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.
D．American researchers first invented perenniation.
29．Evergreen agric ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ulture is popular with the farmers mainly because it________.
A．can build the soil and improve the yield
B．can provide more wood as well
C．is the easiest method to carry out
D．is used for a long time
30．Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mang’yana
A．To show the method is very popular in Africa.
B．Because she is an expert at farming production.
C．To prove the farming method is effective.
D．Because she produces more grains than anyone else in the country.

For years I wanted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a flower garden，but with five children I was too busy to have one.Money was limited，and so was time.Often one of the children would want something that cost too much，and I would say，“Do you see a money tree outside？Money doesn’t grow on trees，you know.”Finally，when all five had gotten through high school and college，and had started having their own families，I started thinking again about having a garden.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
However，I knew garde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns cost money.And after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean，no frills budget.
Then，one spr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing morning on Mother’s Day，as I was working in my kitchen，I heard cars drive by and looked out of the window to see a new tree planted in my yard.I couldn’t believe my eyes！It was a money tree！Dollar bills were stuck all over that tree，and there was a note which read，“I owe you eight hours of digging time.Love，Marvin.”
Marvin，my first s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on，kept this promise，too.He dug up a nice ten by fifteen foot bed for me.My other children bought me tools，a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.We built a garden together.21·cn·jy·com
That was thre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e years ago.My garden is now very pretty，and just what I’d always wanted.When I go out to weed or tend my flowers，I don’t seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels as if they were right there with me.When I think about what my children have done for me，I get tears in my eyes every time.
I’m still not sure whether money grows on trees.But I know love does.
31．The text is meant to tell us________.
A．a love story between mother and children
B．how to grow your own money tree
C．a mother’s dream of having a garden

33．Which is si ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )milar in meaning to the underlined word “no frills” in Paragraph 2
A．Wasteful. B．Helpful.
C．Hopeful. D．Tight.
34．Marvin’s promise was to________.

Two years ago，t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Funk family of suburban Chicago adopted a Chinese baby girl who had been abandoned on a sidewalk near a Yangzhou textile factory.
Last year，halfway ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) across the United States，the Ramirez family of suburban Miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot.
Both families named ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )their daughters Mia.It turns out，a first name and Chinese heritage aren’t the only things the three year olds have in common.The girls’ mothers—Holly Funk and Diana Ramirez—met on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions.After a lot of emails comparing photographs and biographical details，DNA testing proved the families’ suspicions：The girls are probably fraternal(亲如手足的) twins.
“I was in shock，” sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id Ramirez，who lives with her husband Carlos in Pembroke Pines，Florida.“Well，now this is for real.”
The Internet and Web g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin(亲属)．The site that the Funks and Ramirezes used has a membership of 137 people，with 15 sets of twins and 7 sets of siblings whose relationships have been confirmed.
At a reunion F ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riday at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport，Mia Diamond Funk and Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other，and then reached for each other’s hand.
DNA tests es ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tablish an 85 percent probability that the girls are at least half sisters.Scientists do not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty，but given their ages and physical similarities，experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.
Douglas and Holly Fun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k hope to bring their Mia to Miami in October.Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone.
36．Both the adopted girls shared a first name________.
A．because they both came from China
B．because of their physical similarities
C．because their US parents suspected they were twins
D．for no good reason
37．Why did the girls’ mothers meet on the Internet
A．To compare photographs of the two girls.
B．To find the girls’ biological kin.
C．To test their suspicions.
D．To enjoy the joy of adopting children.
38．Experts ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e still not 100 percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins because________.
A．DNA tests are still not accurate enough
B．the two girls were born in two different families
C．the DNA of a biological parent is still missing
D．one girl was born a week later than the other
39．What Ramirez said in Paragraph 4 suggests that she________.2-1-c-n-j-y
A．didn’t believe what had happened
B．was surprised at what had happened
C．didn’t want to accept the fact
D．was pleased with what they had done
40．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Adopted Twins Reunited After Online Chat
B．Adopted Twins Live Happily in the US
C．Suspicion Turned into Reality
D．The Stories of Two Families

For the last ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )couple of weeks，I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me.My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project，I was confused to find that instead，I was feeling rather depressed.I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up.I had a relaxing bath，cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie，but to_no_avail.It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me：turn to nature!【出处：21教育名师】
The very nex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t day，I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve，even though it was pouring with rain.Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again.To be honest，I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing，“I’m singing in the rain.”a song I used to sing when I was a child.I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制)our own spirits，which only leads to depression and stress.21*cnjy*com
Interestingl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y，it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels.But this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.
If you feel a little l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors，relax completely，remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
41．The author felt depressed because she ________.
A．couldn’t consume her waking hour
B．had not seen a film for a long time
C．had not finished her work on time
D．had worked on a hard job for too long
42．The author walk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed in a nature reserve in the rain in order to ________.
A．take photos
B．find a solution to the project
C．hop along the path
D．cheer herself up
43．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )part “to no avail” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．unsuccessful B．unrelated
C．uninteresting D．unexpected
44．In the author’s opinion，________.
A．a bath can make people relaxed
B．depression is usually caused by hard work
C．walking in a busy city centre harms people’s healthwww-2-1-cnjy-com
D．adults should express their inner feelings freely
45．The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) ________.
A．explanation B．suggestion
C．introduction D．reminder

Good morning，lad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies and gentlemen.This is Li Hua from Senior Three.I’m here today to share with you a good lesson from an overseas Chinese student living in Germany.It is a true story.
After years of hard ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) work，this Chinese student graduated with amazing academic achievements.Everyone thought he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future.But to his disappointment，he was not even allowed the chance for an interview！The third time he was turned down，he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask why they didn’t want him.The answer was simple，“We don’t hire dishonest people in Germany.”21世纪教育网版权所有
What was wrong？You m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight wonder.The truth is，shortly after he arrived in Germany，this clever student found that it was easy to skip buying subway tickets.So，to save money，he often went without a ticket.As a result，he had been caught without a ticket in the subway three times.
From this story， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we learn that we may get short term benefits by dishonest means，but the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high.So remember：honesty is the best policy.
That’s all for my speech.Thank you!

Possible version 1：
In his speech Li Hu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a spoke of an overseas Chinese student who couldn’t find a job because of his dishonesty.The story shows us that honesty really is the best policy.【版权所有：21教育】
After reading this s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )peech，I felt really sorry for the student who had thrown away his years of hard work，great academic achievements and a promising future just for some short term benefits.Now，he knows better than anyone that dishonesty costs dearly.
My classmate Wang Tao ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) once made a similar mistake.During a math quiz，he was having trouble working out a problem.When the teacher looked away，he peeked and copied the answer from his classmate.He was glad that he had a high mark in the quiz.But when he came across a similar question in the final exam，he didn’t know how to solve it and eventually failed the test.
While dishonesty he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lped him in the short term during the quiz，it hurt him in the long term because he didn’t revise that type of problem for the final exam.I shall always remember this lesson and be an honest person.www.21-cn-jy.com
Possible version 2：
Today I read an i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nstructive speech，in which the speaker argues honesty is the best policy by telling the story of an overseas Chinese student who couldn’t find a job because of his dishonesty.
After reading thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s speech，I felt really sorry for the student who had ruined his own promising future just for some short term benefits.On the other hand，I also thought it was correct to punish someone who had been dishonest.2·1·c·n·j·y
I once read anot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her story about dishonesty.In that story the author found himself alone in his headmaster’s office，where he accidentally found the writing contest paper.He was going to take part in the competition and so couldn’t resist the temptation to read it.As he prepared well beforehand，he won the first prize in the contest.But instead of feeling happy and proud，he felt guilty.This feeling started the moment he decided to read the paper and it followed him all his life.
From these stories，I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) really learned the lesson that honesty is the best policy.In life we are often tempted to be dishonest，but for a happy and guilt free life we know what the best choice is.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
You’ve heard of the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at suit and the pregnancy suit；now meet AGNES—the old person suit.AGNES stands for “Age Gain Now Empathy(换位体验)System”and was designed by researchers at MIT’s AgeLab to let you know what it feels like—physically—to be 75 years old.“The business of old age demands new tools，”said Joseph Coughlin，director of the AgeLab.“While focus groups and observations and surveys can help you understand what the older consumer needs and wants，young marketers never get that‘Ah ha！’moment of having difficulty opening a jar，or getting in and out of a car.That’s what AGNES provides.”
Coughlin and hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s team carefully adjusted the suit to make the wearer just as uncomfortable as an old person who has spent a lifetime eating poorly and not doing much exercise.Special shoes provide a feeling of imbalance，while braces on the knees and elbows limit joint mobility.Gloves give the feeling of decreased strength and mobility in the hands and wrists，and earplugs make it difficult to hear high pitched sounds and soft tones.A helmet with straps(带)attached to it presses the spine(脊柱)，and more straps attached to the shoes decrease hamstring flexibility，and shortens the wearer’s step.21·世纪*教育网
AGNES has been used mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st recently by a group of students working on a design of an_updated_walker.By wearing the suit they could see for themselves what design and materials would make the most sense for a physically limited older person.Coughlin said the suit has also been used by clothing companies，car companies and retail goods companies to help them understand the limitations of an older consumer.【出处：21教育名师】
“AGNES is not the dest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iny of everybody，”he said.“She is a badly behaved lady who didn’t eat and exercise very well.A secondary benefit we’ve found with AGNES is that it has become a powerful tool to get younger people to invest in their long term health.”
1．AGNES has been developed to ________.
A．make the users more comfortable
B．let us understand old people better
C．help old people move more quickly
D．produce new tools for the old age business
2．According to the article，young marketers never ________.21*cnjy*com
A．feel the same way as old people do
B．see the efforts old people make
C．ask what old people need and want
D．say “Ah ha！” when they meet with difficulty
3．The 3rd paragraph mainly tells about ________.
A．how the AGNES wearer feels
B．how AGNES has been developed
C．how old people act
D．how AGNES works
4．The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned words“an updated walker” most likely refer to “________”．
A．someone who travels a lot
B．a physically limited old person
C．some equipment that helps old people walk
D．a company whose service involves old people
5．Which may be a fact ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )resulting from the “secondary benefit” of AGNES
A．Young people respect old people.
B．Old age business improves their service.
C．Old people eat and exercise well.
D．Young people eat and exercise well.

In spite of stubbor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nly high gas prices and airline fees，many colleges and universities are reporting an increase in visitors this summer compared to last.Of the 41 colleges that responded recently to an informal email survey by The Choice，nearly three of every four reported an increase in summer visitors—with some universities experiencing as much as a 50 percent rise.At Stony Brook University in New York，there has been a 20 percent increase in visits from families of prospective(未来的) students.Those students who are visiting often express concerns about the economy and cuts to public education.
While more families ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )may be going on college tours，they are also being more frugal in their visits.“Families are still traveling to visit，but they’re doing so a bit more economically in terms of accommodations，”said Alyssa Vine，the associate director of media relations for Barnard College in New York.“In the past，many families might have chosen to stay in hotels.Now we often meet guests who are staying with local families or friends while visiting.”Monica Inzer，the dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton College，said that there were more families taking day trips，instead of staying overnight at a local hotel.
For students who can’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) afford the trip，many universities are trying to bridge that gap electronically.Harvard College，Cornell University，the University of Chicago and many other top tier universities offer virtual tours on their websites.“We understand that some families are unable to visit Chicago，”said Evan Cudworth，the director of content and media at the University of Chicago.“We traditionally visit high schools and college fairs across the country in the spring and fall，but in response to what continues to be a tough economic climate，we’ve begun hosting information sessions throughout the summer as well so that even families with busy schedules or those living outside of the major urban areas can learn about college opportunities.”
1．What is the text mainly about
A．A survey made by The Choice.
B．Concerns about economy and public education.
C．An increase in visitors to colleges and universities.2-1-c-n-j-y
D．Stubbornly high gas prices and airline fees.
2．What does the underlined word “frugal” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．careful B．economical
C．reasonable D．sensible
3．What do families ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tend to do in terms of accommodations while visiting
A．They choose not to stay in hotels.
B．They stay with other guests.
C．They take week trips.
D．They bring tents along.
4．What are many uni ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )versities doing to help students who can’t afford the trip
A．Host information sessions throughout the year.
B．Hold college fairs across the country.
C．Offer virtual tours on the Internet.
D．Visit high schools in the summer.
5．It can be inferred from the text that________.
A．more students may lose college opportunities
B．top tier universities are helping families visit their schools
C．the tough economic climate makes no difference
D．many families prefer to take real trips to universities
