The next time you eat a piece of chocolate, be sure to enjoy it, because according to two of the world’s largest chocolate maker—Mars Inc and Barry Callebaut, the treat may soon be in short supply. The problem We are consuming the candy at a faster pace than farmers can grow cocoa. The can manufacturers say that in 2013, people consumed 70,000 tons more cocoa than was produced. Experts say that this is the worst supply-demand imbalance they have experienced m more than 50 years.
Parts of the reason for the condition is the large reduction in supply, caused by a continuous drought in the west African countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana, where more than 70 percent of the world’s cocoa is produced. Additionally, a certain disease known as frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result, many farmers have turned to more profitable and easier grown crops like corn. This means that even if conditions improve, cocoa production may never get back to normal.
Meanwhile, the world is only getting hungrier for chocolate. The biggest increase in demand is from the residents of emerging market countries like India. Though their consumption is nowhere close to the amount European devour, their newly acquired amount for the treat, is making a huge dent (凹痕) in an already tight market.
There is also the growing desire for dark chocolate, which contains more than 70 percent cocoa compared to normal chocolates. Experts believe that if consumption continue at this pace, cocoa deficits (差额) could swell to one million tons by 2020 and to an even more worrisome, two million tons, by 2030.
Not surprisingly, cocoa prices have risen by 60% since 2012, a cost that manufacturers have offset by raising the prices of everyone’s favorite candy. As the situation worsens, the price of chocolate can only rise—so be sure to enjoy piece of the sweet treat, like it is your last!
28.The underlined phrase “supply—demand imbalance” probably means .
A. People consume more chocolate than production
B. Farmers grow more cocoa than people’s demand
C. More and more people like eating chocolates now
D. Chocolates are becoming more and more expensive
29.It is hard to raise cocoa production probably because .
A. The weather is changeable in the west Africa
B. A certain disease spread around the world
C. Many farmers don’t grow any longer
D. It is impossible for conditions to be improved
30.Where has the demand of chocolate been increasing greatly according to the passage
A. In Asia B. In Africa
C. In Europe D. In America
31.According to the author’s prediction, we can know that .
A. Chocolate will become cheap sooner or later
B. The farmers will produce more cocoa in 2030
C. The price of chocolate will be going up all the way
D. Dark chocolate will be more popular than common one
D
The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them____a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.
Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
32.According to the passage, music could make students smarter by _______________.
A. improving their classroom skills and paying attention
B. improving their classroom skills and imagination
C. improving their attention, direction and imagination
D. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas
33.What does the underlined phrase "glued to" in the second paragraph mean
A. unwilling to turn on B. always looking
C. unwilling to leave D. always playing
34.The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _______________.
A. give children self-expression and self-confidence
B. bring to children achievement and success
C. give children something to be proud of
D. develop children's self-confidence
35.What's the best title of this passage？
A. Music is a must as a course at school
B. Music builds children's self-confidence
C. Music makes students much smarter
D. Learning music and making music
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does this situation seem familiar to you Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 36.
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 37. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from . The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 38.
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
● Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
● Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
● 39. Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 40. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A. What should you do
B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
C. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
D. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
G .Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

There are various kinds of sports activities, including ball games like basketball, football, tennis, as well as other activities, such as swimming and hiking. Among them, I like swimming best.
First of all, swimming keeps me healthy. There is no doubt that people who swim a lot have stronger bodies than those who don’t. Swimming both contributes to a powerful lung and reduces the risk of heart attacks. Thanks to swimming, I have seldom been sick in the past few years.
Besides, swimming can keep me fit. Having a slim figure is the dream of all girls. Swimming is an effective way to help us lose unnecessary weight. Take me for example, last summer, I kept swimming for 3 days a week; after two months, I have lost 5-kilogram weight!
All in all, swimming not only keeps me healthy, but also provides me with a slim figure. Therefore, of all the sports activities, I like swimming best.

Experts say that this is the worst supply-demand imbalance they have experienced m more than 50 years.
Parts of the reason for the condition is the large reduction in supply, caused by a continuous drought in the west African countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana, where more than 70 percent of the world’s cocoa is produced. Additionally, a certain disease known as frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result, many farmers have turned to more profitable and easier grown crops like corn. This means that even if conditions improve, cocoa production may never get back to normal.
Meanwhile, the world is only getting hungrier for chocolate. The biggest increase in demand is from the residents of emerging market countries like India. Though their consumption is nowhere close to the amount European devour, their newly acquired amount for the treat, is making a huge dent (凹痕) in an already tight market.
There is also the growing desire for dark chocolate, which contains more than 70 percent cocoa compared to normal chocolates. Experts believe that if consumption continue at this pace, cocoa deficits (差额) could swell to one million tons by 2020 and to an even more worrisome, two million tons, by 2030.
Not surprisingly, cocoa prices have risen by 60% since 2012, a cost that manufacturers have offset by raising the prices of everyone’s favorite candy. As the situation worsens, the price of chocolate can only rise—so be sure to enjoy piece of the sweet treat, like it is your last!

The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them____a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.
Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.

Does this situation seem familiar to you Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 36.
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language.

The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 38.
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
● Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
● Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
● 39. Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 40. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A. What should you do
B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
C. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
D. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.

67.The Sports Activities I Like Best
There are various kinds of sports activities, including ball games like basketball, football, tennis, as well as other activities, such as swimming and hiking. Among them, I like swimming best.
First of all, swimming keeps me healthy. There is no doubt that people who swim a lot have stronger bodies than those who don’t. Swimming both contributes to a powerful lung and reduces the risk of heart attacks. Thanks to swimming, I have seldom been sick in the past few years.
Besides, swimming can keep me fit. Having a slim figure is the dream of all girls. Swimming is an effective way to help us lose unnecessary weight. Take me for example, last summer, I kept swimming for 3 days a week; after two months, I have lost 5-kilogram weight!
All in all, swimming not only keeps me healthy, but also provides me with a slim figure. Therefore, of all the sports activities, I like swimming best.
