Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home.I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I'd just head east.A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going.“Four more lights，”she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield (挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.“I just can't leave you here，”she said.“This isn't the nicest place.I'll give you a ride home.”“You'll drive me home in the bus？”I asked, perplexed (困惑)．“No, I'll take you in my car，”she said.“It's a long way，”I protested. “Come on，”she said.“I have nothing else to do.”As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car.“I'm just passing the favor along，”she said.When I offered her money as a thank-you，she wouldn't hear of it.“That wouldn't make it a favor，”she said.“Just do something nice for somebody.Pass it along.”

Who are these people rushing by you in the street？More than 215 million people now call America “home”，but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world.If you look at the names on shop windows，you will see that Americans come from many different lands.The idea that these people，who once were strangers to the United States，have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American”is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools，business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages.Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another.However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food，national groups, or newspapers.

[1] BEIJING—The breaking news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused public curiosity of the 57-year-old Chinese writer：Why was it he that was favored by the Swedish Academy?

[3] Born in 1955 into a rural family, Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager.He joined the military and devoted himself to writing after the “Cultural Revolution (1966－1976)”．
[4] For more than a century，Nobel Prize has been regarded by the world as recognition to an individual or even a nation's cultural and scientific advances.
[5] Despite an economic miracle in the past few decades，scientists and experts in physics, chemistry and medicine have so far been deemed hopeless by the Chinese public to win Nobel Prizes in sciences.
[6] Chinese scientists' failure to win a Nobel Prize has been blamed on the lack of originality, creativity and being exocentric.However, Mo's novels, although believed by some to be too rough, are labeled as realistic portrayals of contemporary Chinese people.
[7] Yet Mo, whose novels were translated into several languages, was honored the prize, beating his major Japanese competitor who is more popular in China, Haruki Murakami.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading.It's remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics，from sports to business to fashion to science，and the range of comment and special feature(特写)as well，from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books，art theatre and music.A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely，never straight through，but always by jumping from here to there，in and out，glancing at one piece，reading another article all the way through，reading just a few paragraphs of the text.A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers，but for more than the reader is interested in.What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性)，its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now.But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it means also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的)value. For all these reasons，not two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together，out of the pages of that day's paper，his own selection and sequence，his own newspaper.For all these reasons，reading newspapers efficiently，which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need and without wasting time，demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
1．A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following EXCEPT its ________.
A．wide coverage
B．uniform style
C．speed in reporting news
D．popularity
2．According to the passage，the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that ________.
A．people scan for the news they are interested in
B．different people prefer different newspapers
C．people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D．people have different views about what a good newspaper is
3．It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ________.
A．apply reading techniques skillfully
B．jump from one newspaper to another
C．appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D．usually read a newspaper selectively
4．The ways to make a good newspaper attractive are all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．its topicality
B．its immediate relation to the locality and the world
C．its beautiful pictures
D．its interest to readers

8．Congratulations 9.universe 10.flight
Ⅱ.1.A 冠词的考查。句意：——你认为汤姆在里面扮演了一个角色的那个电视剧怎样？——是一部非常成功的电视剧。play a part in...“扮演角色”为固定短语；而当success具体到表达“一件成功的事”或“一个成功的人”意义时，前面加不定冠词。
2．B 短语意义辨析。根据后面的“including postage”可知，一共50美元，故选B。at least至少；at most最多；in short总之；简言之。

8．D achieve one's goal为固定搭配，意为“实现某人的目标”。
9．B 考查动词的用法。add up to共计，达到，后接宾语，而add up表示“加起来”这个动作，后不接宾语，add to增加，增添；又tax与include构成动宾关系，当tax置于动词之前时，动词相应地应用被动形式。
10．A welcome此处用作动词，意为“欢迎”，be warmly welcomed 意为“受到热烈地欢迎”。
11．D 句意：我们彼此祝愿在考试中有好运气。wish sb. sth. “祝某人某事”，表示祝愿(某人幸运等)。故选D。
12．C 句意：那就是那台零件小得看不见的新机器。分析句子结构可知，先行词new machine与parts(零件)构成逻辑上的所属关系，故选用whose引导定语从句。
13．B 句意：他研究这道数学题差不多1小时了，但是还没能计算出。work on致力于……，从事……，work out计算出。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
(2013·陕西高考)In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride(搭便车)．
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(使……放心) me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch，he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me，“You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”
I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.
1．The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because________.
A．her work delayed her trip to Sydney
B．she was going home for her holidays
C．the town was far away from Sydney
D．she missed the only train back home
2．Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?
A．He helped the girl find a ride.
B．He gave the girl a ride back home.
C．He bought sandwiches for the girl.
D．He watched the girl for three hours.
3．The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that________.
A．she realized he was Gordon
B．she had known him for decades
C．she was going to the nearby town
D．she wanted to repay the favour she once got
4．What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?
A．Giving sometimes produces nice results.
B．Those who give rides will be repaid.
C．Good manners bring about happiness.
D．People should offer free rides to others.
B
If there is one thing I'm sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact，I'm pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu；making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news，etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet，it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
5．What is the BEST title for the passage?
A．The Best Way to Get News
B．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own Newspaper
D．The Future Newspaper
6．In the writer's opinion，in the future，________.
A．more big political affairs，wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
7．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news.
B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news.
D．What you are interested in.
8．The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．depend on B．compete with
C．fight with D．kill off
