Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is famous worldwide for having developed Facebook, the most widely used social networking website. He was born to Edward, and his wife Karen, on May 14, 1984.Edward was a dentist, while Karen worked as a doctor. The young boy was brought up in the village of Dobbs Ferry.
He pursued his education from the Ardsley High School, New York, and later the Phillips Exeter Academy, where he exhibited flair for astronomy, mathematics, physics, English classical literature and foreign languages. He was also asked to lead the fencing (击剑) team of the Phillips Exeter Academy.
While in middle school, Mark was taught Atari BASIC Programming by his father. Eventually software programmer David Newman began teaching the young boy everything about programming. The talented young child was in high school when he enrolled with Mercy College, to pursue a course in software programming. During this time, he developed a software called ZuckNet to create a communication network between the computers in his father’s dental office and those at home.
While still a student at Harvard University, he launched his website Facebook, along with college friends. Though at first he was accused by some senior students of having stolen their idea, his site’s popularity was not affected. Facebook saw a steady rise in the number of active users per month. The website started out as a networking platform only for Harvard University, and then was opened for other colleges. Soon, it became available to general public, and gained widespread popularity for its user-friendly interface (界面). Zuckerberg is now the chairman and CEO of the company Facebook, Inc, earning one dollar as his salary. His website has made him so popular that the film The Social Network, starring Jesse Eisenberg, was made based on a book, The Accidental Billionaires, which recorded Mark’s life.

The grocery store might not be your favorite place to visit when you’re at home, but isn’t it ever fun when you’re in another country Honestly speaking, they’re one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travellers head toward clothing stores, libraries, cafés or galleries.
The biggest beauty of the grocery store—whether it’s a huge supermarket or a tiny one—is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the breads, and oh, the chocolate... always the chocolate!
Being an environmental nerd ( 痴 迷 者 ) I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect their attitude towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaves everything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.
People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teen-aged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled ‘spicy’ would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.
The financial savings extend to souvenirs, too. Whether it is ground spices for my mom or chocolates for my kids, the grocery store is the first place I look for unique gifts. It’s interesting then to come home and look at one’s own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture You might be surprised by what you realize.
8. What is the benefit of visiting grocery stores of other countries in the author’s opinion
A. Knowing their financial practice.
B. Making friends with store owners.
C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs.
D. Knowing local people and the country.
9. Why does the author mention some countries she visited
A. To show their strange lifestyles.
B. To show the levels of their wealth.
C. To show their packaging advantages.
D. To show their environmental awareness.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. Sri Lankans tend to become friendlier.
B. Grocery stores are always social places.
C. People like to share their ideas about food.
D. More cultures can be learned in grocery stores.
11. What would the author probably suggest readers doing
A. Visiting grocery stores while travelling.
B. Buying cultural souvenirs in foreign countries.
C. Knowing the grocery culture before travelling.
D. Exchanging shopping experience with friends.
D
What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.
For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.
Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.
According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.
This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.
The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.
12. The passage is most probably a______.
A news report
B. research report
C. story for soccer players
D. text for doctors
13. In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain
A. Computerized test. B. Questionnaire..
C. Scanning. D. M.R.I. technique.
14. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.
A. significant effect on brain
B. little effect on one’s brain
C. nothing to do with the brain injury
D. one’s memory improved
15. The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.
A. remembering B. misunderstanding
C. recalling D. missing
第二节 七选五
What is your favourite colour Do you like yellow, orange, red ____16____
Do you prefer greys and blues Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist (悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. ____17____ If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
____18____ A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. ____19____ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
____20____ It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up—we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it.

A few years ago, I worked in an international company that sold computer devices. I had to travel a lot all over the country as a part of my work. I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make more money.
On one of my trips, I came out of the airport to take a bus to downtown as usual. It was the same routine: get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly back…
That day, for some reasons, I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there, enjoying the scenery. Finally the bus came.
Usually I always took the seat behind the driver. That day I sat down somewhere in the middle. A boy was seated next to me, carrying a lot of suitcases. Suddenly, he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. Warmly, he said, “Hi, the perfect day in the perfect place, huh ”
I remember thinking to myself — this must be one of those typical people who is young and naive and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy.Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride But out of politeness, I replied, “Perfect! Did your parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach ” “No, I’m not here for vacation, and I don’t have parents,” he shook his head. “I’m here because I want to achieve my biggest dream. I’m on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago.”

Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.
According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.
This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.
The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.
12. The passage is most probably a______.
A. news report
B. research report
C. story for soccer players
D. text for doctors
13. In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain
A. Computerized test. B. Questionnaire..
C. Scanning. D. M.R.I. technique.
14. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.
A. significant effect on brain
B. little effect on one’s brain
C. nothing to do with the brain injury
D. one’s memory improved
15. The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.
A. remembering B. misunderstanding
C. recalling D. missing
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】

What is your favourite colour Do you like yellow, orange, red ____16____
Do you prefer greys and blues Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist (悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. ____17____ If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
____18____ A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. ____19____ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

A few years ago I worked in an international company that sold computer devices. I had to travel a lot all over the country as a part of my work. I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make more money.
On one of my trips, I came out of the airport to take a bus to downtown as usual. It was the same routine: get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly back…
That day, for some reasons, I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there, enjoying the scenery. Finally the bus came.
Usually I always took the seat behind the driver. That day I sat down somewhere in the middle. A boy was seated next to me, carrying a lot of suitcases. Suddenly, he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. Warmly, he said, “Hi, the perfect day in the perfect place, huh ”
I remember thinking to myself — this must be one of those typical people who is young and naive and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy.Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride But out of politeness, I replied, “Perfect! Did your parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach ” “No, I’m not here for vacation, and I don’t have parents,” he shook his head. “I’m here because I want to achieve my biggest dream. I’m on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago.”

【答案】One possible version:
“I lost my dad 10 years ago then my mom married again. My stepfather threw me out of the house. Since then, I’ve been living all over the country. I’ve met many people who were kind to me. And I’ve learnt a lot from life through these years,” he said softly. At that point I couldn’t say a word. I felt the tears coming. Fortunately, he continued talking.
He smiled and told me that for 10 years, he had only one thing on his mind to join the army school like his grandfather. “My grandfather was a general of the army. He left me this,” he said proudly. He showed me a golden knife and said this was the best memory of his childhood. “The only thing I know is that I will follow my biggest dream and every day I will be happy.” Soon, the bus reached his stop. He stood up, took all his suitcases, and said goodbye with a big smile. From that day on, I always try to do everything with my best smile on my face.
