第一节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分;满分40分)
A
American job seekers who use the Internet are more likely to continue active job searches and less likely to drop out of the labor pool when compared to those who do not have access to the Internet, said the Phoenix Center.
Using census (人口普查)data from 2007, the study found that unemployed workers who use broadband, whether at home or a public facility, are at least 50 percent less likely to give up on their job than those who lack such access.Discouragement was cited by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as a major reason for an increase in the rate of unemployment in 2010.As of December 2009, a large number of American workers have given up looking for a job because of the thought that no jobs are available.
According to the Phoenix Center, the new study provides important insights for policymakers at a time of economic crisis, when unemployment rates are extremely high, which now is more than 17 percent.The US Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, which carries the responsibility for the government's monthly data on employed and unemployed individuals, estimates that adding “discouraged workers”, who had given up looking for work, would increase the current US unemployment rate above the frequently reported 10 percent level.
By connecting American people to jobs and information about how to better find work, use of the Internet gives them hope and encourages the frustrated unemployed to keep on looking even when job prospects are dim, said Lawrence J.Spiwak, president of the Phoenix Center.
“These new findings suggest that broadband connectivity can contribute to economic recovery,” Mr.Spiwak added.
The study has demonstrated that there are several reasons why the Internet helps keep the jobless from quitting on their job searches such as the inexpensiveness of using the Internet to search for information about job opportunities and salaries, as well as the emotional and other types of support unemployed individuals receive by means of the Internet.The study found evidence that the unemployed are more likely to be discouraged when they do not surf the Web, and this evidence suggests that support and information obtained from the Internet significantly reduce the chances that they might feel there are no jobs, or no jobs for which they could qualify.
The study also highlights the benefits and importance of community broadband centers to assist those who do not have Internet access at home.
26.What do we know from the passage?
A.Researchers for the study analyzed census data of the last ten years.
B.People who lack Internet access are less likely to quit on their job searches.
C.People can learn how to better find a job during economic crisis by using the Internet.
D.Many workers give up looking for jobs because they don't qualify for any jobs.
27.What important insights does this new study provide for policymakers?
A.The Internet is an effective means of looking for a job for the unemployed.
B.Making the Internet access available is beneficial to economic recovery.
C.It is necessary to help jobless people keep on searching when job prospects are bad.
D.Teaching people how to surf the Internet will decrease the unemployment rate.
28.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of looking for a job on the Internet?
A.Offering information about jobs.
B.Helping to save money.
C.Giving encouragement in spirit.
D.Offering chances for increased salaries.
29.According to the passage, people who lack Internet access at home can go to________.
A. anyone who has Internet access
B.the US Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics
C.the Phoenix Center

If you know the following fact, you'll understand why many people suffer from foot problems: The average person walks the equivalent of three times around the earth in a lifetime.That is enormous wear_and_tear on the 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles that make up the foot.
In a recent survey for the American Podiatric Medical Association, 53 percent of respondents reported foot pain so severe that it affected their daily fun_ction.On average, people develop pain in their 60s, but it can start as early as the 20s and 30s.And usually women give care to their feet while men don't.
“A lot of people think foot pain is part of the aging process and accept it, and walk with pain,” said Dr.Andrew Shapiro.Though some foot problems are inevitable, their progress can be slowed.
The following questions will help you assess whether you should take more preventive action as you age.Do you have flat feet or high arches (足弓)? Either puts feet at risk.Shoes that support the arch and heel can help flat feet.People with high arches should look for roomy shoes and softer padding (衬垫) to absorb the shock.Proper exercises also strengthen muscles supporting the foot.
Do your shoes fit? In the survey, more than 34 percent of men said they could not remember the last time their feet were measured.20 percent of women said that once a week they wore shoes that hurt, and 8 percent wore painful shoes daily.Feet flatten and lengthen with age, so if you still stick to the shoe size you wore at the age of 21,get your feet measured.
Do you walk? Putting more mileage(里程) on your feet is the best way to exercise the muscles and keep them healthy.
31.The underlined phrase “wear and tear” in Paragraph 1 probably means“________”.
A.a surprising experience
B.an unimaginable distance
C.damage due to continuous use
D.a contribution to the feet
32.What do we know from the passage?
A. The population of men and women who have foot problems is similar.
B.Walking as little as possible can protect your feet from pain.
C.More than half of the respondents have serious foot problems.
D.53% of people develop foot pain in their 60s.
33.Compared with men, women________.
A.have a long walk each day
B.take good care of their feet
C.have a slow foot aging process
D.are likely to have foot problems
34.Which of the following statements best explains foot pain?
A.Not all of it can be avoided.
B.People can't slow its process.
C.Walking more will stop foot pain.
D.Preventive actions can't work well.
35.If your feet are 26 cm long at 23, what is the probable length of your feet when you are 43?
A.25 cm. B.25.2 cm.
C.26 cm. D.26.2 cm.
C
Being a fashion model is a more challenging career than many people think, because you have lots of things to be aware of like maintaining your perfect figure and competing with many beautiful and attractive models.
A famous company would probably choose the perfect model for its products and if you get chosen then maybe you can consider yourself a super model.Some super models are as popular as famous actors and actresses.
Let's talk about qualifications to become a fashion model.You should be between 15 and 22 years old, though probably closer to 15.Models don't have careers that last as long as doctors, so agencies tend to want to invest their time in someone young.You also have to consider your height.Being tall, long-legged, and thin is the most acceptable.At least 5′8″ in height and of average weight, which for a model is 108—125 pounds.These characteristics are partly aesthetic (美的) and partly practical.There are always exceptions to the rule, of course —Kate Moss is 5′7″and Gabrielle Reece is a giant 6′3″—but, in general, the closer you are to the industry criteria,the better your chances.
Aside from height requirements, models are required to have good skin, great teeth, nice smile, healthy hair, and must be well dressed.Models must also be highly photogenic, able to do a variety of poses and expressions and take direction well.It is possible to have a bad skin condition but as long as you are able to keep it under control, such issues can be fixed using Photoshop.However, the clearer your complexion (肤色) is, the better.
There are many types of models, such as editorial fashion models, commercial models, fitness models, and catalog models.Every type has its own criteria.That is why I believe that every person, who is inspired to become a model, has the chance as long as they meet the criteria.This could be your career, if that is what you want out of life.
36.What's the BEST title for the passage?
A.Modeling is a challenging career
B.Height requirements for a fashion model
C.Different types of models in society
D.Things to be aware of as a model
37.If you get chosen by a famous company as a model for a certain product,________.
A. you will become a model for other companies soon
B.you are sure to be more famous than actors and actresses
C.your career as a model will be prolonged
D.it means you are competitive among all the models
38.What are the qualifications for becoming an outstanding fashion model?
a.Being able to do a variety of poses and expressions
b.Having a good figure
c.Being less than 25 years old
d.Having good skin, great teeth and healthy hair
e.Having beautiful eyes and long legs
A.a,b,e B.a,b,d
C.b,d,e D.a,c,d
39.We can infer from the passage that________.
A.a person who is taller than others finds it easier to become a model
B.famous models are all at least 5′8″ in height
C.not all famous models are 108—125 pounds
D.people with bad skin conditions can't become a model

Most people remember their teachers as some kind of despotic (专制的) person although it isn't always the truth.Most of them are quite nice and are always there to give us a hand when we need one.Not so long ago, you might think the teacher was the teacher and was almighty (万能的) and the students were there to learn and nothing else.Now there is some kind of interactivity between the students and the teachers.To my mind, teachers are here to teach us their knowledge and to listen to what we have to say.Indeed, students aren't afraid to tell them what they think any more.However, this doesn't mean that they don't control their troops.It is just because times and methods have changed.Our teachers are now closer to their students and have created some kind of soft climate that allows us to be in class without a feeling of obligation or what so ever.Nevertheless, we can but notice that the “power” is still in the teachers' hands.If something goes wrong it is up to him or her to react properly and to carry out punishment if it is necessary.

Modern relationship between teachers and students is much better than that in the past, which is more relaxing and pleasant, but it doesn't mean that teachers have lost the power over their students.
Nowadays, getting along well with teachers is much valued than ever before.To create a good relationship with teachers, we need to respect them and appreciate their efforts, while at the same time we need to do our basic responsibilities well, such as attending class on time,being well prepared for class with completed assignments and being fully concentrated in class.
Actually, having a good relationship with teachers makes it easier for us to get along smoothly with our study at school.As far as I am concerned, my teacher was my good friend,so I would turn to him whenever I had any trouble and he always gave me a hand timely.It has had a strong effect on my personality, such as being helpful and considerate, which enables me to grow up healthily.Therefore, good relationship between teachers and students is worthwhile for everyone to cherish.

(Reuters)—A young fashion designer from the German city of Hanover is revolutionizing high fashion by designing clothes with the main food she can find in her fridge—milk.
Anke Domaske,28, has developed a fabric called QMilch made from high concentrations (浓缩物) of the milk protein casein(酪蛋白)—the first man-made fiber produced entirely without chemicals.It feels like silk and it doesn't smell—you can wash it just like anything else.
Made from all natural materials, the QMilch fabric is ecological but also has many health benefits.And the amino acids (氨基酸) in the protein are antibacterial,anti-aging and can help control both blood circulation and body temperature.
Domaske's fashion brand Mademoiselle Chi Chi has now started weaving the milk fiber into its collection.Now the MCC clothes with bright patterns are made from a combination of various fibers, including QMilch.But Domaske plans to design a collection made entirely from the milk fiber.
Milk fabric has been around since the 1930s but was always produced in unecological ways that used a lot of chemicals.Unlike earlier products, QMilch is made almost entirely from casein.“We have developed an all-natural fiber consisting of a very high concentration of casein,with a few other natural ingredients—and in only two years,” said Domaske.
The casein is got from dried milk powder and then heated up in a type of meat-breaking machine with other natural ingredients.The fiber comes out in lines and is then spun into thread on a spinning machine.
It would take about 6 liters of milk to produce an entire dress,which costs about 150 euros to 200 euros.Luckily,for that kind of money,the clothes don't come with a use-by date(有效期)—during the heating process,the protein won't break down.Due to its antibacterial qualities,the milk fiber can also be used in medicine and make-up.Even some car-making companies have looked into using the fiber for car coverings.
1.What would be the BEST title for the text?
A.Milk fiber is being used widely
B.New clothes don't come with a use-by date
C.Fiber with antibacterial qualities is invented
D.German fashion designer makes clothes from milk
2.What is QMilch's big improvement on earlier milk fabric?
A.It involves much lower costs.
B.It contains fewer chemicals.
C.It is produced in an ecological way.
D.It is made completely from casein.
3.According to the text,the MCC clothes are________.
A.quite easy to wash
B.partly made from QMilch
C.mainly produced by hand
D.greatly welcomed by customers
4.Which of the following is TRUE about QMilch?
A.It has a nice smell.
B.It gets soft when cooled.
C.It has some medical functions.
D.It was developed many years ago.
5.In what column of a newspaper may the text appear?
A.Food. B.Environment.
C.Medicine. D.Fashion.

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述自己从最初接触英语词典的惊异,到习惯使用英语词典以及使用英语词典的好处。作者一开始用英语词典非常困难,但逐渐发现这种仅用一种语言编写的词典对于学习外语非常有帮助。通过反复地接触这些基本词汇,作者可以比较容易地用英语来表达思想。
1.C 通读全文可知,作者是一个中国大学生,中国人学英语,尤其是初学者习惯使用英汉词典。当看到英英词典时,他感到“吃惊”。
2.B 前后两句在意义上是让步关系,所以用although引导让步状语从句。A项because引导原因状语从句;unless和if引导条件状语从句。
3.A 最初作者不习惯用英英词典,所以感觉用起来“很难”。interesting是“有趣的”之意,根据下文not fully understand the meaning可知不可能选B;ambiguous“不明确的”;practical“实用的”,这两个词也不符合语境。
4.B be used to表示“习惯……”。对作者来说习惯了双语词典,或者说是英汉词典。这里指双语词典的使用对他来说是“熟悉的”。
5.A 此句是一个which引导的定语从句,其中words是主语。根据常识,在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的,所以用explained。
6.C “我”真想知道姑妈为什么决定这么为难“我”。其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式,但是在这里意思都不恰当。
7.D 作者过去不理解,经过一段时间后“明白了”。imagine“想象”;recommend“推荐”;predict“预测”。
8.B 此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较,A和D项没用比较级,better强调“更好,更实用”,而easier则为“更容易”,故选B。
9.A 两种语言中的两个词不能完全对应。
10.B “我”姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。
11.A 前面的a Chinese “equivalent”和the... meaning of a word in English对应,表明还是对应不准确的问题,所以用exact。
12.C 该句的谓语have come to see表示“变化过程”,所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。
13.D 从后面的around 2,000可知,词典中用于解释词义的词限制在2000左右。
14.A 在有限的范围内阅读释义就会反复接触基本词汇,学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点。所以用repeatedly表示“反复地,经常地”。
15.D 后面主句部分I can express myself more easily in English表达的是结果,此处表达的应该是原因,说明使用这种词典所带来的好处。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。德国一时装设计师发明了一种纯天然的牛奶织物,可以用来制作衣服。
1.D 标题归纳题。本文是一篇新闻报道。德国的一位时装设计师发明了一种纯天然的牛奶织物,可以用来制作衣服。D项标题准确地概括了文章内容。
2.C 细节理解题。由第五段中的Milk fabric...was always produced in unecological ways that used a lot of chemicals可知,与过去的牛奶织物相比,QMilch的生产方式是环保的。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Now the MCC clothes with bright patterns are made from a combination of various fibers,including QMilch可知,MCC生产的衣服只是部分采用了这种新材料。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的has many health benefits和antibacterial以及最后一段中的Due to its antibacterial qualities,the milk fiber can also be used in medicine and make-up可知,这种牛奶织物有医疗功效。
5.D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一项时装界的重大革新,即一种用牛奶制成的纯天然面料问世。该面料的诞生引发了时装界的一场革命。故该文章可能出现在Fashion栏目。
Ⅳ.1.He has made a good impression on his students. 2.When did your father take up drawing? 3.The thief hid himself in the corner,afraid of being caught.
4.After being taken good care of,he is back on his feet. 5.The thief slid into the room.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
When we look around today at the
convenience produced by information and communication technology,we often pause to think about past decades when we didn't have these.It took us several days to mail a letter and you had to address the envelope,put a stamp on it,and deliver it to the nearest post office.As for banking,you were required to go to the bank during business hours when you wished to deposit(存)your pay cheque,pay bills,or take out some money.
But now E-mail and E-banking have certainly changed our lives by giving us the freedom to do these things at our comfortable homes and at any time we choose.Technology is now providing more choices when it comes to education too.It is no longer necessary to attend lessons in a classroom in order to further our learning.The widespread use of the Internet globalizes education and enables educational institutions to offer courses to students anywhere in the world.
E-learning has changed the way that courses can be taught and distance education has removed the traditional barriers of higher education.E-learning has opened the door to higher education for many individuals who can't do it in any other way.It allows individuals to get degrees while still working full time;it allows stay-at-home mothers to earn their certificates while raising their children;it even allows people to study without leaving their homes.
What will happen in the next decade if the technology continues to develop at the same rate as it has done in the past ten years?Nobody can tell.One thing is for sure,though,these things will bring us a brighter future.

When his book Little Princes begins,Conor Grennan is planning a year-long trip around the globe,a journey that began with a three-month volunteer service at the Little Princes Children's Home,an orphanage(孤儿院)in Nepal.
When he arrived at the orphanage,Conor was immediately welcomed by all the children even though he had no previous experience in working with children.He quickly grew to love the job.But it wasn't long before Conor came to learn that the children were not orphans at all—they were actually children who had been separated from their parents by a child trafficker(贩子).
This realization turned Conor's global journey into a strong desire to try to find a way to reunite these children with their families.As a part of his efforts,Conor did a great amount of work when he was back in America.He started up a nonprofit organization called Next Generation Nepal(NGN),raising funds in order to buy a house in Nepal for another children's home.Then,back in Nepal,he began a life-changing trek into the remote villages in the mountains of Humla.
It is really amazing to read about Conor communicating with the children and to read his descriptions of each of them.He made me truly care about the kids.I wanted them to be able to reunite with their families,too!Unfortunately,this was simply not possible for some of the children.But there were some children who received amazing surprises.Jagrit,for example,had thought for years that both his parents were dead.So,Conor was dumbfounded when he visited Jagrit's village and was introduced to the boy's father!
Conor successfully found many of the families of the children.Also,he was successful in finding his future wife while in Nepal.

Ⅱ.1.B 通读全文,关于E-mail,E-banking和E-learning的内容在文章中都涉及到了,只有E-shopping没有提到。
2.D 根据第一、二段的内容可知,和传统的信件相比,电子邮件给人们带来了更多的方便,所以D是正确的。

【语篇解读】 本文是作者读完Little Princes的读后感。
6.D 细节理解题。从第二段的they were actually children who had been separated from their parents by a child trafficker可知,这些孩子是被贩卖后与父母分开的。
7.A 细节理解题。从第三段可知,Conor放弃了全球旅行的计划,转而想办法帮助孤儿院的孩子与父母团聚,为此他创立了NGN非赢利组织,还去边远地区寻找线索,故选A项。
8.C 词义猜测题。上文提到虽然有些孩子很不幸,但是也有一些孩子获得很大的惊喜,即:与父母团聚。接着便以Jagrit为例说明这一点。由上句的Jagrit,for example,had thought for years that both his parents were dead可知,Conor见到Jagrit的父亲时极其惊讶。dumbfounded指“惊讶的,惊呆的”。
9.A 推理判断题。根据第一段的When his book Little Princes begins和倒数第二段的to read his descriptions of each of them可以判断出Conor Grennan就是这本书的作者,书中是他对自己经历的讲述。
