Ankara, Turkey: I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) come from Moldova and I am now working as a UN Volunteer with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Turkey. I have been living in Turkey for a few years and have had the 16 to observe the approach of the Turkish people towards 17 . In Turkey people help each other with their hearts and from their hearts on a continuous basis.
Young people are the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) main driving engine behind the ever-growing volunteer force in Turkey. For Turkish 18 people it is common to be part of some kind of organization or student club on a volunteer basis, doing various activities such as exchanges, environmental action, charity work and peer education.
This trend(倾向) gre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w 19 in the late 1990s, despite the fact that civil society organizations have sometimes been viewed with disbelief by some state authorities.
This has 20 in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the last decade, and many young people now choose to get involved and use their spare time to develop their skills, while also showing their civic participation by 21 to a cause.
Perhaps this is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the reason why the core of the UNV community at UNHCR Turkey is 22 young people. Being a UN Volunteer with UNCHR allows us to gain the skills needed to realize our social and human development potential, but also to dedicate our time, energy and ideas to contribute to the 23 of UNHCR’s global strategic aims.
Being a UN Voluntee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r with UNHCR is an opportunity to make other people’s lives better. Working on refugee status determination has been an interesting and 24 learning experience. Part of the task involves carrying out extensive research on the situation and the condition of the countries the refugees(难民) come from.
Especially according ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to recent events in neighboring countries, and given the arrival of refugees and the increased time necessary to process the 25 number of applications for shelter, the contribution of UN Volunteers to UNHCR seems necessary and the impact invaluable.
I also believe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that I have brought cultural diversity(多元性) to an already diverse 26 , where true professionals and young graduates from different nations work hard side by side to 27 refugees and find durable solutions for them.
16. A. ability B. opportunity C. description D. permission
17. A. volunteerism B. charity C. poverty D. colleague
18. A. starving B. primitive C. young D. crowdedwww-2-1-cnjy-com

23. A. permission ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )B. achievement C. celebration D. reception

Section B
All through history ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain. The English language is made up of the grammar and vocabulary these people brought to Britain. Old English consisted of a mixture of different languages. By the 10th century, Old English 28______ become the official language of England.
Then came Middle Eng ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lish. Many things played a part 29______ the development of this new type of English. The most important contribution was from a French-speaking people 30______ defeated England and took control of the country. 31______, French did not replace English as the first language, but the English language32______ borrow many words from French. By the latter half of the 14th century, English had come33______ widespread use among all classes in England.
Modern English appeare ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d during the Renaissance in the 16th century. Pronunciation also went through huge changes during this period. The question of 34______ English will keep on changing in the future is easy to answer. It is certain 35______ this process will continue, and people will keep inventing new words and new ways of saying things.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following three passages. Each passages is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked with A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
As we all know, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Dragon Boat Festival is our country’s traditional festival, but do you know there is also a Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea, which also falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar(阴历)? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物质的文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.
As the birthplace of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China,” said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Chinese Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application(申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event. It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people.2·1·c·n·j·y
He is said to hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country’s future. When people heard about Qu’s death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet’s body.
Over the years, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.

C. Considering to do the similar thing.
D. Asking South Korea not to do so.
38. What is the purpose of holding the Dragon Boat Festival?
A. In memory of Qu Yuan.
B. In memory of all the patriots of China.

Tim Berners-Le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e is the man who wrote the software program that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web. Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners-Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial (商业的) computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packing material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s, scientists were already communicating using a primitive version of e-mail. While working at a laboratory in Switzerland, Tim Berners-Lee wrote a program, which let him store these messages. This gave him another idea: write a program that will let academics(学术界人士) from across the world share information on a single place. In 1990 he wrote the HTTP and HTML programs which form the basis of the World Wide Web.
The next year ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his programs were placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programmers used this codes(密码) to work with different operating systems. New things like web browsers(浏览器) and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100,000.
In 1994 Tim Berners-L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ee formed the newly formed World Wide Web consortium(协会), or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can share equally on the web. “The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love. It helps us understand the humanity of people.” he says.

C
You feel happiest w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hen you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel a sense of achievement, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
The way to cr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eate a healthy balance between giving and receiving so as to achieve real happiness is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call “being” and “having” values. Your “being” values are the character traits(特征)of the ideal person you would like to be. An example of some “being” values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values, you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by “being” a positive role model. Mastering “being” these character traits becomes your life purpose. 21教育网
Your “having ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )” values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, “being” valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.
When you make a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) commitment to live by your “being” values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary(保守的) ones. If your usual habit is to complain about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate(沉思), or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.
When you choo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, but you reinforce(增强)your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.
46. The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A. a feeling of emptiness B. a loss of power
C. a lack of energy D. a state of being confused
47. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he text, by acting on your own “being” values, you will .
A. gain a lot of power B. fill your own needs
C. seek all human virtues D. form positive personality
48. Which of the following does NOT belong to your “having” values?
A. Your success in the competition.
B. The support from your friends.
C. Your own peaceful mind.
D. The friendship with others.
49. What can be inferred from the text?
A. “Having” values are better than “being” values.21教育名师原创作品
B. The way other people think of you decides who you are.
C. A calm person does not choose to complain easily.
D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.
50. The main purpose of this passage is to .
A. persuade the readers to make a commitment
B. inform the readers how to be truly happy
C. explain to the readers what personal values are
D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices

Will it matter if ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you don’t take your breakfast Recently, a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The result shows that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

If there wer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a literary award bigger than the Nobel Prize, Alice Munro would probably win that, too. Munro,82, was awarded literature’s highest honor, respected by the Nobel committee as a thorough but forgiving chronicler(事件的记录者) of the human spirit.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
Among her best-kn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )own is The Bear Came Over the Mountain, about a woman who agrees with her husband that she should be put in a nursing home. The narrative begins in a relatively tender, traditional mood. But we soon learn that the husband has been unfaithful and doesn’t always regret it. The wife, meanwhile, has fallen for a man at the nursing home. Munro won a National Book Critics Circle prize in 1998 for The Love of a Good Woman and she is also a three-time winner of the Governor General’s prize, Canada’s highest literary honor.
She received ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a scholarship to study at the University of Western Ontario, majoring in journalism, and was still an undergraduate when she sold a story to CBC radio in Canada. She dropped out to marry a fellow student, James Munro, had three children and became a full-time housewife. By her early 30s, she was so frightened and depressed that she could barely write a full sentence.
Her good fortune ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was to open a bookstore, in 1963. Inspired by everything from the conversation of adults to simply filling out invoices(发票), she saw her narrative talents resurface. Her first collection, Dance of the Happy Shades, came out in 1968 and won the Governor General’s prize.
Her books having ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) been sold more than 1 million copies in the U.S. alone, she has long been an international ambassador for the short story. Critics and peers have praised her in every way a writer can be praised: the precision of her language; the perfection of detail; the surprise and logic of her storytelling; the graceful shifts of moods. So, she is the kind of writer about whom it is often said-no matter how well known she becomes—that she ought to be better known.
