听力材料
(Text 1)
M: Operator, I’ve been trying to make phone call for nearly 10 minutes and I just can’t get through.
W: Just tell me the number and I’ll try it for you.
(Text 2)
W: Tom!
M: Yes?
W: Could you please take this tape recorder to my office for me?
M: With pleasure. And let me carry some of these exercise books for you.
(Text 3)
W: Nice weather we’re having.
M: Yes. Isn’t it a nice surprise? At this time it’s usually much colder and raining already.
W: Well, this weather will probably end soon; all the leaves on the trees are brown, and it’s been pretty cold at night.
(Text 4)
M: Hurry up, Jenny. It’s already seven. We’ll be late for the film.
W: Don’t worry dear, we still have twenty minutes. And it takes us only fifteen minutes to get there. We’ll be there just in time.
(Text 5)
M: Would you remind me when we get to Buckingham Palace, Please?
W: Sure, no problem! Now we are at Oxford Street, and we can get there in thirty minutes.
(Text 6)
W: Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry?
M: Hi, Cindy. I was just looking for you. Do you know your painting was chosen to be exhibited at the City’s Student Art Show?
W: Really? Who told you that?
M: I just learned it from the principal’s office.
W: Are you sure you heard it right?
M: Of course. I saw the notice with my own eyes. I wanted to be the first person to bring the news to you. That’s why I rushed here.
W: I really can’t believe it.
M: Well, I’m glad I am the first to congratulate you.
W: Thanks, Lester, for bringing me the good news.
(Text 7)
W: Hello, glad to see you. Come in, please.
M: Thanks. It looks like the party is exciting and all are in high spirits.
W: Yeah. And they’re enjoying all kinds of French foods here. Well, I’d like you to meet my brother, Tom. He is visiting me for the weekend.
M: Where is he?
W: He is sitting in the corner over there, and beside the young woman.
M: And who is the young woman? Uh, the woman wearing a red coat.
W: Oh, that’s Ann, my piano teacher.
M: Piano teacher! I never knew you were practicing the piano.
(Text 8)
M: Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?
W: No, not at all. Go ahead.
M: Thank you.
W: Are you going somewhere or meeting someone?
M: I am on my way to Washington. And you?
W: I am on my way to San Francisco.
M: Really? I think San Francisco is probably the most exciting city in the US.
W: So do I. No other city has as many good restaurants or as much good music.
M: Is San Francisco your hometown?
W: I am from a very small town in Pennsylvania. I wouldn’t want to live there again, either. I don’t like to live in a small town very much.
M: Neither do I. But small towns have their advantages: less traffic.
W: And friendlier people. You know, I’m beginning to feel homesick. By the way, where are you from?
M: China.
W: China? But you speak English like a native speaker. I didn’t have any idea.
M: Thank you! Oh, excuse me. It’s time for my flight. Well, it’s been nice talking with you.
W: You too. Bye!
(Text 9)
W: Good morning. Can I help you?
M: Yes, please. I want to find out about the bus service between here and my home in Detroit. I came here last week by train, but I think I want to return by bus. I like to try different ways of traveling.
W: I’ll try to help you. Here is our timetable. It shows that we have eight buses a day that leave Cleveland for Detroit. I think you’ll find that service is cheaper than the train’s.
M: Yes, it looks as though the tickets are quite a bit cheaper than the train tickets. Why is that?
W: The bus trips take a little longer than the train trips, and we don’t have a dining car or a waiting room. We do have a rest room, however, the bus is air-conditioned. The trip should be comfortable.
M: How long is the trip?
W: We have an express bus that takes a little more than three hours, and we have a bus that stops at several cities along the way. It’s of course cheaper, but it takes a little more than four hours. If you don’t mind the extra traveling time, it’s our best bargain.
M: Can I use my return ticket from the train to pay for my bus ticket?
W: No, you’ll have to take that ticket back to the train station. That’s a different company. They’ll give your money back, and then you can buy a ticket from me here for the bus.
M: Thank you, Madam. I want to talk this over with my aunt and uncle before I make the final decision. Thanks for your help.

Please listen very carefully because we’re going to give you a lot of important information that will make your experience here enjoyable and useful. OK, here we go.
Let me tell you about the plan for today. There are three things on your schedule. First, you will take a test. This test will measure your English level.

We’ll show you the main buildings where your classrooms are; you’ll see some of the sports facilities, you know, the tennis courts, the swimming pool, places like that; and you’ll also visit the library and the computer lab. I think you’ll be surprised how large and how beautiful our campus is. All right. Are there any questions before we begin?
第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分,限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Do you like listening to English songs to learn the language? Some students don’t believe doing so can help them learn English. I have to say they think wrongly. Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better. You may ask how. Just read on.
Lyrics are not easily forgotten. You listen to them over and over again throughout your life. Once you learn them, they are going to stay with you, and you are going to review them repeatedly because you enjoy them. If you learn just one song per week for a year, those are 52 songs full of new vocabulary and phrases that you will never forget.
Songs give you perfect pronunciation models. As you learn to sing them, you are practicing your pronunciation, you are imitating (模仿) native speakers, and you are learning how to speak better. The rhythm naturally leads to better pronunciation, better intonation (声调), and more fluency.
When you start paying attention to the lyrics, your listening skills naturally improve. Once you learn a few songs, you’ll start gathering a lot of songs and vocabulary. A larger vocabulary usually means better listening comprehension (理解). Just the fact that you start caring about the lyrics will activate your listening skills and listening to music in English will become an enjoyable learning exercise.
Another huge merit is that you get to practice your grammar. Some of the most intelligent grammar questions my students bring to me come from songs. You can probably even map the entire language into pop songs and greatly improve your grammar by learning the lyrics to your favorite songs.
Now we can conclude that listening to English songs can really help you learn the language well. So listen to more English songs in your free time. You can put the lyrics on your iPod or iPhone and read them as you listen. Believe me, and you’ll benefit a lot.
语篇解读:听英文歌曲有助于提高我们的英语水平。

We can express thoughts and feelings, and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We can’t send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smartphones to do just that.
David Cheoka, a professor at City University in London, wants people to experience communication using all of their senses.
To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (电极) that are placed on the tongue. When users put their tongues in between, a chemical process can create different tastes through molecules (分子) on the surface of the tongue and this chemical process sends electrical signals to make users get a taste, convincing the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
A device called “Scentee” permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smartphone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances (芳香), including flowers, fruits and coffee, etc. With the help of an app, the device, when connected to your mobile phone, will send out a scent. Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the scents run out.
The sense of touch comes from a ring-like device. It is connected wirelessly to the smartphone. The device sends a soft and electrical press when a person on the other end of a telephone conversation does the same. Professor Cheoka says this permits a kind of wireless touch communication. For example, you can be in London and your friend is in Tokyo. You press your finger and then your friend will get a press on his finger.
Professor Cheoka says he hopes devices like these will someday be added to houses, which may change the future of long-distance communication.
语篇解读:用手机传递声音和照片我们很熟悉,但如何用手机传递味道和触觉?
29.What’s the purpose of the two electrodes?
A.To create and send a user’s taste.
B.To test the sense of a user’s tongue.
C.To convince the reaction of a user’s brain.
D.To tell the differences among sour, salty, sweet and bitter.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中提到the two electrodes的作用是“a chemical process can create different tastes”可知,与A项意思一致。
30.What does the underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Cloud. B.App.
C.Smell. D.Container.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据本段语境可知,它主要讲的是关于如何传递气味的,故应选C项。
31.How can the ring-like device make you feel the touch?
A.Through wireless communication.
B.Through a telephone conversation.
C.With the help of a smartphone.
D.With the press of the ring on our finger.
解析:选C 细节理解题。传递触觉实际上是靠手机以及一种wireless touch communication来完成的,但手机是不可或缺的。
D
Scope:Recently your school board proposed (提议) moving the school start time from 7:50 a.m. to 7:20 a.m. What was your reaction to this?
Jilly Dos Santos:I was getting only four to six hours of sleep a night and I was late for school a lot. With the new start time, I’d have to wake up even earlier. After we heard about the proposal, a teacher said to my class, “If you don’t like it, why don’t you do something about it?”
Scope:What did you do?
Jilly:I organized a group of students to speak to the school board.
Scope:What did you do to prepare for the meeting?
Jilly:I wanted to focus our presentation on why having an earlier start time was unhealthy. There is scientific research about teens and sleep. I learned that during your teen years, because of a change in hormones (激素), your body clock begins to change. You start to want to go to bed later. School starts the same time it always has, so getting enough sleep becomes difficult. I realized there wasn’t something wrong with my time management or me; the way I was feeling had a physical and biological basis.
Scope:How did it go?
Jilly:About 30 students came to support me, and the board liked that I didn’t get emotional and just provided the evidence. Two months later, an 8:55 a.m. start time became official:The board decided to make the start time later instead of earlier.
Scope:What has changed since the later start time?
Jilly:I don’t need to stay up an extra hour or two at night, because I can get work done in the morning. I’ve also been late a lot less. And this year, there are more morning clubs and more people going to them.
语篇解读:本文是应用文。文章是对争取晚睡晚起权利的美国学生Jilly Dos Santos的采访。
32.Jilly’s teacher seemed to encourage the students _____.
A.to talk with the school board
B.to get their work done in time
C.to voice their opinions bravely
D.to take action to support the proposal
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据下文Jilly举行会议说服教育委员会更改提议可知,这位老师是鼓励学生们在面对不喜欢的事情时要勇敢地表达自己的观点。
33.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A.Jilly’s body clock.
B.The scientific research.
C.The meeting Jilly organized.
D.Jilly’s secret for time management.
解析:选C 代词指代题。根据上文的 “speak to the school board, prepare for the meeting” 和下文的 “30 students came to support me, and the board liked ...”可知,此处的it指上文Jilly组织的会议。
34.How did Jilly succeed in persuading the school board?
A.By showing scientific evidence.
B.By putting forward a new proposal.
C.By telling different students’ stories.
D.By presenting her personal experience.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据Jilly说的 “There is scientific research about teens and sleep.” 和 “the board liked that I didn’t get emotional and just provided the evidence”可知,Jilly通过提供科学证据成功说服教育委员会取消将上课时间提前的决议。
35.Because of the later school start time, students have become very ________.
A.impatient B.lazy
C.energetic D.responsible
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段Jilly能及时完成作业、不需要熬夜到很晚、很少迟到和早上上课的学生人数增加可知,学校推迟上课时间后,学生的精力变得很充沛。

When I was small, I felt very enviously to see children riding bicycles because I thought they were pretty cool. Getting older, I can hardly wait to learn how to ride a bicycle myself. I still remember a day when I could ride it. Today, the bicycle is still your favorite transportation. On the first hand, I can keep fit by going to school by bikes. On the other hand, ride a bicycle can protect our environment. Bicycles work out with the help of our legs instead gas, which burns and pollutes the environment. So cycling is not only good for our health or for the environment. I will continue keeping riding it.

假设你是某中学高二学生李华,请你用英语写一篇关于广场舞的稿子向英语报投稿。
内容提示:
1.广场舞越来越普遍;
2.有人认为噪音影响了自己的生活;
3.请你给出两个赞成广场舞的理由。
注意:1.词数100左右;
2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
参考范文:
Square dancing is becoming increasingly popular in China nowadays. As everyone can see, in some public places like squares, parks, and even the narrow streets between buildings, a large number of old ladies dance to joyful music happily. However, some people think the music they dance to is too noisy and that it seriously affects their life.
Frankly speaking, I don’t agree with them. On the one hand, most of the ladies are retired women, who finally have free time to do what they like. By dancing together, they can make more friends and share the same interest with them. On the other hand, those places are public for anyone who uses them for entertainment or relaxation.

M: Hey, Joanne. What’s up? Are you heading to the beach, too?
W: I’m trying to get there as fast as I can. I need to deposit some money at the bank and mail some letters at the post office. But first, I’ve really got to find a ladies’ room!
(Text 2)
W: Have you looked in the mirror today?
M: Uh, not since I woke up this morning ... Why? Did I forget to do my hair or something?
W: Well, let’s just say that green ties and pink shirts don’t really mix ...
(Text 3)
M: I’m starving! What have you got to eat around here?
W: Um, not much. I really wasn’t expecting anyone over, so ...
M: All you have in here is some salad and one of those health drinks that only girls drink ...
W: Look. I don’t show up at your door without calling and criticize your food, do I?
(Text 4)
W: Do you have any idea what time it is now? Have you ever heard your phone?
M: I’m sorry. But my phone ran out of power. I got back here as fast as I could because I knew you’d be worried.
(Text 5)
W: Hi, James! It’s me, Diane. Oh, I’m so glad I caught you. I was just talking to Drake, and ...
M: I’m sorry. But I think you dialed the wrong number. My name is Daniel.
(Text 6)
M: What’s the matter with you? You look miserable.
W: It’s us.
M: What do you mean “us”?
W: Well, we used to talk to each other before we were married. Remember?
M: What do you mean? We’re talking now, aren’t we?
W: Oh, yes, but we used to do so much together.
M: We still go to the cinema together, don’t we?
W: Yes, but we used to go out for walks together. Remember?
M: Oh, I can remember.
W: And we used to do silly things, like running barefoot through the park.
M: Yes. I remember. I used to catch terrible colds.
W: But we never used to argue. You used to think I was wonderful. Once ... Where are you going?
M: Back to live with my parents. That’s something else we used to do before we were married. Remember?
(Text 7)
M: Can you see how close we are on the map?
W: It looks like we’re pretty close, but these smartphone maps are hard to read.
M: Yeah, I always prefer to look at a paper map. I think I still have some in the pocket of the right door, if you wanna grab one ...
W: No, I’d probably be even worse at that. Uh-oh, I think you were supposed to turn left back there.
M: You mean that you were supposed to tell me to turn left back there?
W: Yeah, I’m sorry. I don’t have one of these kinds of phones, so I’m afraid I don’t really know what I’m doing. Do you want to pull over and take a look?
M:No. It’s okay. Just push that little button on the side of the phone to turn on the sound. That will allow us to hear the directions out loud.

M: Hello, Student Job Center. Can I help you?
W: Yes, I am looking for a part-time job. Do you have anything available at the moment?

M: OK, do you have any skills? Typing, languages, that sort of thing?
W: Yes, I speak Chinese and I can also speak some Japanese.
M: Right, let’s see what is available. There is a position for an Office Assistant at the language center.
W: That sounds interesting.
M: It’s for three days a week and the duty is to deal with inquiries and answer the phone.
W: I am sure I can handle it without problem.
M:Great. I will inform the director of the language center and you can start next week.
(Text 9)
W: Brett, can I ask you a question about your dog?
M: Sure. What’s up?
W: Well, I have to get my little Ferguson some medicine.
M: Oh, is everything all right?
W: Yes, of course. It’s not like he’s sick or anything. I give him medicine every month as part of his regular care, so he doesn’t get any diseases from insects or other dogs.
M: Oh, right. I do that for Fargo, too.
W: Yeah. That was what I was going to ask you about. Where do you buy your dog’s medicine? I asked my vet, and she told me the prices. I almost dropped dead right there!
M: Yeah. Unfortunately, most special pet stores sell them at fixed prices that are set by the companies that make them. You can usually find discounts of ten or fifteen percent for a lot of those stores, though.
W: Well, that’s not a huge help for something that’s two hundred dollars per year! Isn’t there any other way?
M: Well, you can order some medicines from websites that are based in other countries where the prices are lower.

This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately.
Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible.
第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分,限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
This may be music to your ears.
Researchers P.Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3,500 people a personality quiz. Then they asked them to name their favorite kind of music. “We found that the musical styles people like are closely linked to their personalities,” Gosling said.
RAP/HIP-HOP
Known for their quick speech, some rappers can say more than 700 syllables (音节) a minute!
If you like rap/hip-hop, you are energetic and have a way with words. You_put_a_fresh_spin_on_things,_whether it’s new moves on the dance floor or your hip style.
CLASSICAL
In the 18th century, classical musicians were like rock stars. Beethoven and Mozart, for example, played to packed concert halls.
If you like classical, you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends. Creative and imaginative, you can easily spend many hours scrapbooking, writing or painting.
COUNTRY
Country music comes from the folk songs of English, Scottish, and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States.
If you like country, you express your opinions well, which makes you the ideal class president or team captain. Traditional and loyal, you enjoy spending time with your family.
POP
Pop music is designed to appeal to almost everyone, and it does. Each year, the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars!
If you like pop, you are attractive to your friends. You can make big things happen, like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory.
ROCK/ALTERNATIVE
In the 1950s, rock music created a brand-new culture. Teenagers, for the first time, had an identity separate from adults and children.
If you like rock/alternative, you are a risk-taker who never accepts no for an answer. You rise to any challenge,like doing very well in a big exam or landing the lead in the school play.
If these personality profiles don’t match you, that’s OK. These are just for fun.

If you’re a high school student, you may tend to measure your self-worth based on your popularity and status. You may feel depressed or disappointed if you have a difficult time fitting in or if you lack the confidence to talk to others. If you want others to like you, you’ll need to have a healthy understanding of how people think, what appeals to them and how you can gain their approval. There are four tips on how to be popular in high school. And if you are popular with your classmates, you can get many benefits from them.
You must be yourself in order to gain any real popularity in high school. While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (奉承), copying another’s style and personality will have a negative effect on your popularity. If you’re not comfortable enough to be yourself 100 percent of the time, others won’t feel comfortable around you. If you establish your own style and personality and stay true to yourself, popularity will soon follow.
Make yourself approachable to appeal to others and be popular in high school. People love to be around others who are confident and ready to have a good time. Hold your head up high, keep your shoulders back, and smile as you walk with an air of confidence to instantly attract others and increase your popularity.
Be friendly and kind to everyone you meet. It’s not enough to gain the approval of the other popular students in your school. In order to gain real popularity, you’ll need to be kind and polite to everyone you meet. Make an effort to talk to your classmates regardless of their popularity or economic status and try to develop friendships with them. The more people you appeal to, the more popular you’ll become.
Involve yourself in school activities that interest you. You can be popular in high school if you play an active role in your school’s extracurricular activities (课外活动). The more you participate in group activities, the more popular you’ll become.

Fermat’s Last Theorem
Simon Singh
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem (法则). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous_with_our_time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at the airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
语篇解读:文章主要介绍了美国人和中国人对待友谊、朋友的不同观点和做法。
33.The writer of this passage must be ________.
A.an American B.a Chinese
C.a professor D.a student
解析:选B 细节理解题。从第一段“This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand ...”可知。
34.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.
A.strict with time B.serious with time
C.careful with time D.willing to spend time
解析:选D 词义猜测题。从下文“...we, as hosts, will appear at the airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.”可推知。
35.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “________”.
A.Friendships between Chinese
B.Friendships between Americans
C.Americans’ hospitality
D.American’s and Chinese’s views of friendships
解析:选D 标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了美国人和中国人对待友情的不同观点。

Tips for trusting others in the workplace
Do you know anyone who doesn’t trust their company, or maybe their boss? __36__ Perhaps promises were broken, or the company was not normal or unreliable. “Once bitten, twice shy,” is understandably a good explanation why some employees become doubtful. But the only way for a business relationship to work is that it’s based on a foundation of trust.
__37__ Is your lacking of trust in your current boss based on something the previous boss did? Leave undeserved negative thoughts behind and allow your new boss to earn your trust. Do not make comparisons (比较) or have prejudice on your new boss.
Extend the first “olive branch”. At the beginning of relationships, each person starts at ground zero when it comes to trust. __38__ All it takes is taking off your protective clothes and standing on the neutral (中立的) stage.
Don’t overreact to the situation. If it’s the first time you’ve felt a violation (侵犯) of trust, giving your co-worker the benefit of the doubt may be your best response. Isn’t this how you would like to be treated? __39__ Perhaps he can offer you some right advice. It’s okay — and sometimes smart — to let certain problems blow over.
__40__ If you find that mistrust is a consistent theme throughout your career, you may very well be a contributor. A solution: Always be mindful of how others may respond to your words and actions. A good relationship with your co-workers can be made only if you trust others and ask others to trust you.
A.Maybe they have good reasons.
B.Why don’t you forgive them at once?
C.Don’t allow prejudice to come into play.
D.Why not be the one to make the first move?
E.Behave in a way that commands trust from your co-workers.
F.You can learn to improve your abilities and skills in the workplace.
G.Have a talk with someone outside of the company if you are still in doubt.

I want to be a musician
I’ve enjoyed listening to music and playing musical instruments very much since my childhood and I want to be a musician when I grow up. One of my dreams is to play wonderful music for people.
As we know, listening to music can help us in different ways, for example, light music can make us relaxed and fall asleep quickly. Not only will music cheer us up, but it will also improve our physical and mental health if we often listen to music.
In a word, if I become a musician in the future, I will make every effort to play good music in order to bring happiness to people and make their lives more colourful.

Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way. 
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and fun in work. Some teenagers work in the forests or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills. There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or drawing. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to pass his free time.
When people live together, they should have rules. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers has said something about it, “You have to stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”
(Text 10)
If someone offered to pay all my expenses for a month’s holiday anywhere in the world, I would feel very surprised and very excited. I think I would decide to fly around the world and to visit three different countries. The countries I would visit would be Australia, the United States of America and Kenya. If I went to Australia, I would stay there for about two weeks. Before I went, I would write to one of my Australian friends. I would suggest that if it were possible, he should spend a week with me visiting Aboriginal tribes in the northern part of Australia. My friend could explain what we saw and he could translate what people said because he majored in Aboriginal Studies at Queensland University. If I went to the United States, I would stay there for about a week. I expect I would start by visiting New York. I have heard that New York is a very exciting city. After I had stayed for two or three days in New York, I would fly to San Francisco. I hope I could stay with my friends who live there and I would visit the city and other parts of California. Finally, I would fly to Kenya where I would stay for about a week. There are three things I would like to do in Kenya. First, I hope I could visit the coast. Next, I would like to visit a game reserve. I imagine the wild animals of Africa — the lion, elephant and hippopotamus — are very exciting and beautiful. Finally, I would like to visit the Mountains of Kenya where you can see snow on the Equator. If someone offered me this money, I would be amazed. Unfortunately, I do not think this will ever happen and I doubt if I shall ever visit these countries.
第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分,限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
There are many things that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in many ways. Often, the teachers are praised for a school’s success and blamed for its failure. Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators. Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is. This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students’ life. Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students’ lives is immeasurable.
Administrative assistants welcome students at the beginning of the day and answer a large number of questions. When an assistant remembers a student’s name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for. The assistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principal’s office.
Cafeteria workers have a short period of time to interact with students, but can make a big difference as well. Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve. Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.
Custodians (管理人员) are often underappreciated for all that they give to schools. They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate (复杂的) tools. They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event. They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning. A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.
语篇解读:一个学校的成功不仅取决于老师,其他工作人员的辛勤劳动也功不可没。

Up to now, some scientists have suggested that cloning existing people might be ethically acceptable in some cases. One possibility is generating replacement for a dying relative. All such possibilities, however, raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual, because he or she would likely suffer from limitations and expectations based on the family’s knowledge of the genetic “twin”. Those expectations might be false, because human personality is only partly determined by genes. The clone of an extrovert (性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior.Clones for athletes, movie stars, or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.
Some people have also pointed out that couples in which one member is infertile (不生育) might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner. But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy of just one of them.Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility, and the traditional choice seems more appropriate.None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking, because they are not in the interests of the resulting child. It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.
In spite of this, it seems clear that cloning from cultured (人工培育的) cells will offer important medical opportunities. Predictions about new technologies are often wrong; societal attitudes change; unexpected developments occur.Time will tell. But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.
语篇解读:本文作者主要论述了其对克隆的态度。
29.Towards cloning an existing person, what concern does the author show ?
A.The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.
B.The clone created is ethically unacceptable.
C.The clone created will be mistreated.
D.The clone created will have one defect or another.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知,作者担心克隆人会受到虐待。
30.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?
A.One’s personality is determined by neither their genes nor the environment they live in.
B.One’s personality is not entirely determined by their genes.
C.One’s personality is not determined by their genes.
D.One’s personality is determined by the environment they live in.
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第一段第四句可知,人的个性只是部分由基因决定,故选B。
31.What is the author’s attitude towards cloning technology?
A.It should wait till people’s views change.
B.It should be condemned.
C.It was unethical from the very beginning.
D.It has medical potential for scientists to explore.
解析:选D 推理判断题。由最后一段第二、三、四句可知,作者认为克隆的意义有待研究,科学家还需要做很多探索,所以选D。
D
A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it.Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see.Some last a few minutes before they give in.But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely,easily frustrated and inflexible (顽固的).
Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence:when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as“character”.
EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some fear EQ causes misuse.
语篇解读:科学家在四岁小孩子身上做了一个有趣的实验,看他们能不能经受得住糖果的诱惑。实验结果显示他们的选择与其长大以后的成就有关。
32.The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.
A.the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment
B.emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence
C.the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
D.candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence

参考范文:
Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes. The Internet helps make many friends. Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, and even get help with their foreign language studies.
Others, however, think students should not. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, some students get cheated on line.
In my opinion, students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it among our classmates and other people around us.
