Believe it or not but it is true. There are people who lose the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage. But they become extremely good at something else. They become experts at spotting liars. The condition in which people lose their power to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasia(失语症). A study conducted in Massachusetts, U.S., has clearly proved that aphasics make good lie detectors(测谎仪).
In the last 100 years, many doctors studying the brain have mentioned examples of this amazing power of patients suffering from aphasia. Recently, scientists conducted tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied the powers of a mixed group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasic. And it was proved clearly that the normal volunteers still got fooled by words. The aphasics were far ahead of them in recognizing false speech. The results of the study were reported in the magazine Nature.
`Fourteen years ago, famous American doctor, Dr. Oliver Sacks, wrote about his experiences with aphasic patients in a book. He remembered a particular incident in a hospital. Patients from the aphasia room were watching TV. Their president, Ronald Reagan, was giving a speech. He was trying to put feelings into each and every word of his speech. But his speech had an opposite effect on the patients. They were not impressed. On the contrary, the whole room shook with their laughter. The aphasics knew that he did not mean a word of what he was saying.
Dr. Sacks saw aphasics as more gifted than normal people. Normal people “get carried away” by words. An aphasic cannot understand words. But he or she can still understand what is being said. He said most of the aphasics had this superior understanding. So, while normal people think of aphasic patients as brain damaged, they actually seem to understand human expressions better.
24. We can know from the first paragraph ___.
A. how aphasics get their special ability B. that aphasics can tell if you are lying
C. that aphasics are good at telling lies D. why aphasics are experts at spotting liars
25. The phrase “get carried away” in the last paragraph means ___.
A. get misunderstood B. get excited C. get fooled D. get discouraged
26. Dr. Oliver Sacks thinks that aphasics ___.
A. can be cured totally B. can not understand what is being said
C. are specially gifted in a way D. should be treated equally and nicely
27. Which would be the best title of the passage?
A. A great discovery B. A special way of understanding
C. Why aphasics can’t talk D. The great lie detectors
C
James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C., ”he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten Meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway. ”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered me, ”he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
28. In the Big Ten Meet, Owens ___.
A. hurt himself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed D. had to give up some events
29. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because ___.
A. he did not talk to the US president on the phone B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he was not of the right race D. he did not shake hands with Hitler
30. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years”, he means that the medals ___.
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
C. have made him famous in the US
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Making a living as a sportsman B. Golden Moment — a life time struggle
C. Jesse Owens, a great American athlete D. How to be a successful athlete
D
Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive?down the road.?What is even more interesting is that one of?Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the?plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.?So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at?checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited?in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing?these headwinds, plastic-bag makers?are hiring scientists like?Stein?to?make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers?to?purchase paper bags,?which are easily recycled but require more energy?to?produce and transport.?And while plastic bags may be ugly?to?look at,?they represent a small percentage of all?garbage?on the ground today.?
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as?its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger?a reusable bag is,?the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out.?However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy?to?make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute（质疑）?these points.?They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers?to?use the same reusable bags for years.
32. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Argue for the use of plastic bags. B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Help increase grocery sales.
33. What does the underlined word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Plastic bags hung in trees. B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Bans on plastic bags.
34. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive. B. Producing them requires more energy.
C. Replacing them can be difficult. D. They are less strong than plastic bags.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control
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。
It seems that everyone is travelling on holidays these days. During the travel season, roads, buses, trains and airports are packed. 36 , and getting a seat at a restaurant may be impossible. You can fight these troubles alone, or you can travel, as I do, in a group led by a tour guide.

38 . Most people do not know much about the history of an attraction and interesting stories related to it. The guide’s expert knowledge will help make the trip more interesting.
If you travel in a group, you can also make more friends. 39 . Often, friendships make the trip more interesting.
40 . Your trip will be cheaper, more comfortable, more interesting and more rewarding if you travel this way rather than by travelling alone.
A. Hotels are full as well
B. If someone gets ill, others go to his or her aid
C. Taking part in a group is a fully preparatory plan
D. Your tour guide is often an expert in the places you visit

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to know that you show great interest in Teachers’ Day. I’m writing to share with you some details about it.
Showing respect for teachers is a tradition for us Chinese. Teachers’ Day falls on September 10th on which we’ll send best wishes and express our thanks to our dear teachers for their hard work. As for the gifts, some students give thank-you cards to our teachers, some would like to send them beautiful flowers, and others even prepare performances or give them handmade gifts. As far as I’m concerned, Teachers’ Day gives us an opportunity to show our respect and love for our teachers.
What do you think of those? Are there any similar celebrations in your country? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Believe it or not but it is true. There are people who lose the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage. But they become extremely good at something else. They become experts at spotting liars. The condition in which people lose their power to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasia(失语症). A study conducted in Massachusetts, U.S., has clearly proved that aphasics make good lie detectors(测谎仪).
In the last 100 years, many doctors studying the brain have mentioned examples of this amazing power of patients suffering from aphasia. Recently, scientists conducted tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied the powers of a mixed group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasic. And it was proved clearly that the normal volunteers still got fooled by words. The aphasics were far ahead of them in recognizing false speech. The results of the study were reported in the magazine Nature.
`Fourteen years ago, famous American doctor, Dr. Oliver Sacks, wrote about his experiences with aphasic patients in a book. He remembered a particular incident in a hospital. Patients from the aphasia room were watching TV. Their president, Ronald Reagan, was giving a speech. He was trying to put feelings into each and every word of his speech. But his speech had an opposite effect on the patients. They were not impressed. On the contrary, the whole room shook with their laughter. The aphasics knew that he did not mean a word of what he was saying.
Dr. Sacks saw aphasics as more gifted than normal people. Normal people “get carried away” by words. An aphasic cannot understand words. But he or she can still understand what is being said. He said most of the aphasics had this superior understanding. So, while normal people think of aphasic patients as brain damaged, they actually seem to understand human expressions better.
24. We can know from the first paragraph ___.
A. how aphasics get their special ability B. that aphasics can tell if you are lying
C. that aphasics are good at telling lies D. why aphasics are experts at spotting liars
25. The phrase “get carried away” in the last paragraph means ___.
A. get misunderstood B. get excited C. get fooled D. get discouraged
26. Dr. Oliver Sacks thinks that aphasics ___.
A. can be cured totally B. can not understand what is being said
C. are specially gifted in a way D. should be treated equally and nicely
27. Which would be the best title of the passage?
A. A great discovery B. A special way of understanding
C. Why aphasics can’t talk D. The great lie detectors
C
James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C., ”he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten Meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway. ”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered me, ”he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
28. In the Big Ten Meet, Owens ___.
A. hurt himself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed D. had to give up some events
29. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because ___.
A. he did not talk to the US president on the phone B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he was not of the right race D. he did not shake hands with Hitler
30. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years”, he means that the medals ___.
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
C. have made him famous in the US
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Making a living as a sportsman B. Golden Moment — a life time struggle
C. Jesse Owens, a great American athlete D. How to be a successful athlete
D
Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive?down the road.?What is even more interesting is that one of?Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the?plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.?So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at?checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited?in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing?these headwinds, plastic-bag makers?are hiring scientists like?Stein?to?make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers?to?purchase paper bags,?which are easily recycled but require more energy?to?produce and transport.?And while plastic bags may be ugly?to?look at,?they represent a small percentage of all?garbage?on the ground today.?
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as?its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger?a reusable bag is,?the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out.?However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy?to?make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute（质疑）?these points.?They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers?to?use the same reusable bags for years.
32. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Argue for the use of plastic bags. B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Help increase grocery sales.
33. What does the underlined word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Plastic bags hung in trees. B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Bans on plastic bags.
34. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive. B. Producing them requires more energy.
C. Replacing them can be difficult. D. They are less strong than plastic bags.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to know that you show great interest in Teachers’ Day. I’m writing to share with you some details about it.
Showing respect for teachers is a tradition for us Chinese. Teachers’ Day falls on September 10th on which we’ll send best wishes and express our thanks to our dear teachers for their hard work. As for the gifts, some students give thank-you cards to our teachers, some would like to send them beautiful flowers, and others even prepare performances or give them handmade gifts. As far as I’m concerned, Teachers’ Day gives us an opportunity to show our respect and love for our teachers.
What do you think of those? Are there any similar celebrations in your country? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
