Having spoken to a very nice lady from my local Volunteer Centre, it was agreed that I should try my hand with a local conversation group.
I set out on my motor-car. On the way it rained.
Soaking wet, I arrived at the conversation group’s headquarters and trudged(跋涉) along the pathway to the front door. The fronts of my trousers steamed as the hot sun started to dry away the contents of the cloudburst.
I was greeted by a happy and headed Scottish man in sandals. “let’s take a walk round the land we work on,” he said.
It was obvious that this band of merry men and women, consisting of professionals, volunteers and unemployed people on the New Deal scheme, got up to all manner of things conversational, environmental, ecological, horticultural, and so on.
The land was very vast for a suburban project and everyone seemed in tune with nature and each other. “Sign me up,” I said to the man with the Scottish after our pleasant journey through fields and forests had come to an end.
During my time working as a volunteer with the group I helped give career guidance because I had been trained in this field, digging holes, repairing fences, clearing scrubland (灌木丛), cutting riverbanks, mending dams, planting various things and carrying all sorts of strange looking equipment for those more experienced and qualified members.
I had a great laugh with the trainers and the people on the New Deal scheme and even learned a thing or two about birds, beetles, ladybirds, spiders and butterflies.
What was weather like when the author reached the headquarters?
A, Cloudy. B. Rainy. C. Windy. D. Sunny.
According to the passage, the headquarters may be ________.
A. In the city B. Not far from the city
C. In the distant D. In the capital of Scotland
Who it was that led the author to the land where he would work?
A. A farmer. B. A Scottish.
C. An ecologist. D. A nice local lady.
What did the author think of this volunteering deed?
A. Tiring. B. Important. C. Fruitful. D. Available.

MACON, GA, March 8,2012 ---- More than 200 gathered to recognize three inspirational women at the 2012 Georgia Women of Achievement Annual Induction Ceremony and Luncheon Thursday, March 8, 2012 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Ga.
The three women, Sarah Randolph Bailey, Ethel Harpst and Beulah Rucker Oliver, were chosen for the extraordinary contributions given during their lives and because they have inspired future generations to challenge the limits of their own talents.
“These women left a legacy of pride, generosity, hard work and compassion and it is truly an honor to recognize how they paved the way for our generation,” said Cyndee Busbee, Georgia Women of Achievement president.
A short commemorative video showed for each of them during the ceremony to an audience of grandsons, grand-daughters and family friends. The crowd’s pride and respect for these women filled the room above even the sound of the narrator’s(讲述者) voice.
Making the drive that morning from Atlanta, State Senator Miriam Paris attended the event to personally present a Resolution for Sarah Randolph Bailey, the honoree(领奖人) from Paris’ hometown of Macon, Ga. “That was a really neat part of the ceremony,” GWA executive director Beth Oleson recalled. “It is a testament to how wide the reach of this years’ Honorees when a current state leader makes the drive to formally express her gratitude.”
Professional speaker and communications coach Stella Williams Bailey was the keynote speaker for the event. Bailey is a native of Cordele, Ga, and conducts many seminars(研讨小组）on topics like Confidence in Communication, Public Speaking and Presentations, Presenting a Positive Image for Businesses and Employees and Positive Parenting, among many others.

As the exciting season comes, you may worry about whether it will take away all the hard work you have done to keep yourself in shape. Then how to deal that problem? Moderation (节制) is the key to enjoy delicious food and still keep weight at the same time. There are some ways for you to follow during festivals.
You can choose to use low-fat ingredients like low-fat milk and low-sugar products to cook desserts and snacks. However, you need to remember to make suitable use of those low-fat or low-sugar products. It is because though this kind of products includes “low-fat”, it doesn’t mean that it is completely “no-fat”. So don’t use it without any moderation.
Though fried food tastes good, it is not good for your health. So you should cook your food by using a limited amount of oil. Most people eat oily food at times on common days. However, you will have more chances to eat oily food during festival. Clearly, you should use less oil when you cook meals on those special days.
Before you have meals during festivals, you had better drink a glass of water. It will help you feel partially full. Then you will eat less during meals. “Talking more” is the other way of eating less. When you have meals with your family and friends, you can pay attention to the talk with them, and then you will forget to eat more much.
Try to record the amount of your everyday calorie intake during festivals. In this way, you can realize how many calories you will put in your body before you eat the delicious food during festivals. Then you can regulate your daily diet later on to keep your body in shape.
What is the most important to keep weight during festivals?
A. Manage the daily diet under moderation. B. Take more exercise than before.
C. Drinking a glass of water after meals. D. Using a limited amount of oil to cook.
Why do people need to pay attention to using low-fat or low-sugar products?
A. Because they can make people eat less during festivals.
B. Because “low-fat” doesn’t means “no-fat”.
C. Because those products can help people lose weight.
D. Because it can be used with any moderation.
The underlined word “regulate” in Paragraph 5 means “________.”
A. Create B. Copy C. Adjust D. Provide
How many ways are mentioned in the passage to manage the daily diet during festivals?
A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7.
D
E-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary. effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers, as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors, researchers from the University of Southern California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.
? ?The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩盖) the 3. 5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use, as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may not sound like a ton, the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .
? ?How, despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts, have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or friend groups.
? ?Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes, which are not very expensive, are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina, high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco, but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes, the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some weren't even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive, which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway drug.
? ?If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool, we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.
33. From 2013 to 2014,student e-cigarette smokers in high school increased by about?.
A. 3. 5%??? B. 9%? C. 27%??? D. 40%
34. About one third of teen e-smokers use e-cigarettes because of?.
??? A. e-cigarettes’ low prices ?B. cool designs of e-cigarettes
??? C. the influence of people around them. D. their dislike of traditional cigarettes
35. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 ?
?? ?A. E-cigarettes are different from drugs.
??? B. Most teens know the dangers of e-cigarettes.
??? C. E-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes.
??? D. Teens are misled by e-cigarette advertisements.
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’s sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It’s even harder if a teenager doesn’t agree with you. 36
Listen to what the teenager has to say. 37 While you may not entirely agree with what he’s saying, the tension will be lessened if the teenager feels like you are listening and trying to understand him. Also, he might return the favor and give you the chance to talk as well. It’s best to have a conversation where both of your opinions matter rather than fight and possibly hurt each other in the process.
Understand that while the teenager may appear frown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time. 38 However, this doesn’t mean you’re completely right or he deserves to be ridiculed or treated like a child.
39 However, remember that the teenager should understand when “no” is “no”. Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants, whenever he wants it.
If the conversation launches into an argument, stop it. Tell him that you both need to calm down and think clearly or the problem will never be solved. If he refused to listen to you and continues arguing, step out of the room and allow time for both of you to settle down. Do not scold him or shout back. Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other. 40
He still needs to learn, and he doesn’t know everything.
Avoid having a bad tone, including accusations in your words.
This article tells you how to disagree with a teenager in a kind manner.
Bring up the topic after a while and make sure you listen to each other patiently.
People like being listened to, so give him the chance to express his opinion.
Come up with a compromise if the situation allows one.
G. Find the good points the teenager has and mention the negative points as well.

When I was young , time was always 41 for us. But my father would never set it aside and tried his best to 42 us. On Sundays, my father would ask me to go 43 with him. As he said, “Our food may be poor but our life must be 44 .” Therefore, out best times together were spent trying to catch a fish.
45 there was another side if my father. He had a temper, and sometimes he got 46 and would hit me. In those moments of uncontrolled rage (愤怒) he could 47 see things in his way; he would never let me 48 an argument. I was held under his 49 , unable to break out. When I 50 with him, he struck me in the face. It didn’t hurt me, but it left 51 sad, powerless and disappointed. As usual, 52 what happened that week, we would fish together on Sunday.
Years later, I 53 my interest in fish to graduate school in biology. I was always a 54 , but I didn’t have much 55 . I felt it was beaten out of me by my father. I tried to find my direction but just ended with a complete 56 . Then one night something 57 happened. I was researching how fish swim upwards against the flowing water and 58 that they could surf with the help of the running water without using much muscle. I suddenly realized that difficulty could 59 help you struggle less
I quickly finished my article, which made the cover of Science Magazine, and I received my PhD. from Harvard in 2009. Now I can take the 60 of my father’s violence and move through it. This is different from forgiveness. It’s the way I choose to define the events in my life—by my response to them.

Dear Zhang Hua,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in your last exam. You are not the only one who seems to try his best but ends up with a failure in exams. Quite a number of students feel the same way as you and they tend to lose their confidence and don’t want to study hard any longer. I’m sure you know that it’s unwise to do so because you might be left far behind.
I was once in the same situation as yours. Failure is the mother of success. In face of failure, what we need to do is to calm down and reflect our learning methods and make some possible changes or to ask the teachers for advice. Anyway, Rome is not built in a day. Only by sticking to studying persistently can we make progress step by step till success. I truly hope I can be of some help to you .
Yours ever,
Li Hua

M: The blues developed in the southern Unites States from the music of the blank people who were brought from Africa and forced to work as slaves on southern plantations. The earliest form of the blues were work songs field howlers --that was the musical form of communication among slaves.
The name blues comes from the loneliness and sorrow typically expressed in the song words.
The blues started out with only human voices involved, but over time, musicians began to use musical instruments to perform together with blues singers.
There have been many famous blues singers in modern history. Bessie Smith, who is often referred as “the empress of the blues”, was definitely one of the best among them. Her rich and powerful voice gave her great confidence that she refused to use microphone in live performances. Bessie had made 160 recordings in her short life. She dies at age 43 on September 26th, 1937, after being several hurt in a car accident.
Many critics believe that Bessie Smith’s songs have typified the “earthiness” and “realism”of the blues.

Having spoken to a very nice lady from my local Volunteer Centre, it was agreed that I should try my hand with a local conversation group.
I set out on my motor-car. On the way it rained.
Soaking wet, I arrived at the conversation group’s headquarters and trudged(跋涉) along the pathway to the front door. The fronts of my trousers steamed as the hot sun started to dry away the contents of the cloudburst.
I was greeted by a happy and headed Scottish man in sandals. “let’s take a walk round the land we work on,” he said.
It was obvious that this band of merry men and women, consisting of professionals, volunteers and unemployed people on the New Deal scheme, got up to all manner of things conversational, environmental, ecological, horticultural, and so on.
The land was very vast for a suburban project and everyone seemed in tune with nature and each other. “Sign me up,” I said to the man with the Scottish after our pleasant journey through fields and forests had come to an end.
During my time working as a volunteer with the group I helped give career guidance because I had been trained in this field, digging holes, repairing fences, clearing scrubland (灌木丛), cutting riverbanks, mending dams, planting various things and carrying all sorts of strange looking equipment for those more experienced and qualified members.
I had a great laugh with the trainers and the people on the New Deal scheme and even learned a thing or two about birds, beetles, ladybirds, spiders and butterflies.
What was weather like when the author reached the headquarters?
A, Cloudy. B. Rainy. C. Windy. D. Sunny.
According to the passage, the headquarters may be ________.
A. In the city B. Not far from the city
C. In the distant D. In the capital of Scotland

A. A farmer. B. A Scottish.
C. An ecologist. D. A nice local lady.
What did the author think of this volunteering deed?
A. Tiring. B. Important. C. Fruitful. D. Available.

MACON, GA, March 8,2012 ---- More than 200 gathered to recognize three inspirational women at the 2012 Georgia Women of Achievement Annual Induction Ceremony and Luncheon Thursday, March 8, 2012 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Ga.
The three women, Sarah Randolph Bailey, Ethel Harpst and Beulah Rucker Oliver, were chosen for the extraordinary contributions given during their lives and because they have inspired future generations to challenge the limits of their own talents.
“These women left a legacy of pride, generosity, hard work and compassion and it is truly an honor to recognize how they paved the way for our generation,” said Cyndee Busbee, Georgia Women of Achievement president.
A short commemorative video showed for each of them during the ceremony to an audience of grandsons, grand-daughters and family friends. The crowd’s pride and respect for these women filled the room above even the sound of the narrator’s(讲述者) voice.
Making the drive that morning from Atlanta, State Senator Miriam Paris attended the event to personally present a Resolution for Sarah Randolph Bailey, the honoree(领奖人) from Paris’ hometown of Macon, Ga. “That was a really neat part of the ceremony,” GWA executive director Beth Oleson recalled. “It is a testament to how wide the reach of this years’ Honorees when a current state leader makes the drive to formally express her gratitude.”
Professional speaker and communications coach Stella Williams Bailey was the keynote speaker for the event. Bailey is a native of Cordele, Ga, and conducts many seminars(研讨小组）on topics like Confidence in Communication, Public Speaking and Presentations, Presenting a Positive Image for Businesses and Employees and Positive Parenting, among many others.

As the exciting season comes, you may worry about whether it will take away all the hard work you have done to keep yourself in shape. Then how to deal that problem? Moderation (节制) is the key to enjoy delicious food and still keep weight at the same time. There are some ways for you to follow during festivals.
You can choose to use low-fat ingredients like low-fat milk and low-sugar products to cook desserts and snacks. However, you need to remember to make suitable use of those low-fat or low-sugar products. It is because though this kind of products includes “low-fat”, it doesn’t mean that it is completely “no-fat”. So don’t use it without any moderation.
Though fried food tastes good, it is not good for your health. So you should cook your food by using a limited amount of oil. Most people eat oily food at times on common days. However, you will have more chances to eat oily food during festival. Clearly, you should use less oil when you cook meals on those special days.
Before you have meals during festivals, you had better drink a glass of water. It will help you feel partially full. Then you will eat less during meals. “Talking more” is the other way of eating less. When you have meals with your family and friends, you can pay attention to the talk with them, and then you will forget to eat more much.
Try to record the amount of your everyday calorie intake during festivals. In this way, you can realize how many calories you will put in your body before you eat the delicious food during festivals. Then you can regulate your daily diet later on to keep your body in shape.
What is the most important to keep weight during festivals?
A. Manage the daily diet under moderation. B. Take more exercise than before.
C. Drinking a glass of water after meals. D. Using a limited amount of oil to cook.
Why do people need to pay attention to using low-fat or low-sugar products?
A. Because they can make people eat less during festivals.
B. Because “low-fat” doesn’t means “no-fat”.
C. Because those products can help people lose weight.
D. Because it can be used with any moderation.
The underlined word “regulate” in Paragraph 5 means “________.”
A. Create B. Copy C. Adjust D. Provide
How many ways are mentioned in the passage to manage the daily diet during festivals?
A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7.
D
E-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary. effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers, as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors, researchers from the University of Southern California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.
? ?The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩盖) the 3. 5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use, as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may not sound like a ton, the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .
? ?How, despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts, have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or friend groups.
? ?Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes, which are not very expensive, are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina, high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco, but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes, the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some weren't even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive, which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway drug.
? ?If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool, we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.
33. From 2013 to 2014,student e-cigarette smokers in high school increased by about?.
A. 3. 5%??? B. 9%? C. 27%??? D. 40%
34. About one third of teen e-smokers use e-cigarettes because of?.
??? A. e-cigarettes’ low prices ?B. cool designs of e-cigarettes
??? C. the influence of people around them. D. their dislike of traditional cigarettes
35. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 ?
?? ?A. E-cigarettes are different from drugs.
??? B. Most teens know the dangers of e-cigarettes.
??? C. E-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes.
??? D. Teens are misled by e-cigarette advertisements.
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’s sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It’s even harder if a teenager doesn’t agree with you. 36
Listen to what the teenager has to say. 37 While you may not entirely agree with what he’s saying, the tension will be lessened if the teenager feels like you are listening and trying to understand him. Also, he might return the favor and give you the chance to talk as well. It’s best to have a conversation where both of your opinions matter rather than fight and possibly hurt each other in the process.
Understand that while the teenager may appear frown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time. 38 However, this doesn’t mean you’re completely right or he deserves to be ridiculed or treated like a child.
39 However, remember that the teenager should understand when “no” is “no”. Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants, whenever he wants it.
If the conversation launches into an argument, stop it. Tell him that you both need to calm down and think clearly or the problem will never be solved. If he refused to listen to you and continues arguing, step out of the room and allow time for both of you to settle down. Do not scold him or shout back. Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other. 40
He still needs to learn, and he doesn’t know everything.
Avoid having a bad tone, including accusations in your words.
This article tells you how to disagree with a teenager in a kind manner.
Bring up the topic after a while and make sure you listen to each other patiently.
People like being listened to, so give him the chance to express his opinion.
Come up with a compromise if the situation allows one.
G. Find the good points the teenager has and mention the negative points as well.

When I was young , time was always 41 for us. But my father would never set it aside and tried his best to 42 us. On Sundays, my father would ask me to go 43 with him. As he said, “Our food may be poor but our life must be 44 .” Therefore, out best times together were spent trying to catch a fish.
45 there was another side if my father. He had a temper, and sometimes he got 46 and would hit me. In those moments of uncontrolled rage (愤怒) he could 47 see things in his way; he would never let me 48 an argument. I was held under his 49 , unable to break out. When I 50 with him, he struck me in the face. It didn’t hurt me, but it left 51 sad, powerless and disappointed. As usual, 52 what happened that week, we would fish together on Sunday.
Years later, I 53 my interest in fish to graduate school in biology. I was always a 54 , but I didn’t have much 55 . I felt it was beaten out of me by my father.

I suddenly realized that difficulty could 59 help you struggle less
I quickly finished my article, which made the cover of Science Magazine, and I received my PhD. from Harvard in 2009. Now I can take the 60 of my father’s violence and move through it. This is different from forgiveness. It’s the way I choose to define the events in my life—by my response to them.

Dear Zhang Hua,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in your last exam. You are not the only one who seems to try his best but ends up with a failure in exams. Quite a number of students feel the same way as you and they tend to lose their confidence and don’t want to study hard any longer. I’m sure you know that it’s unwise to do so because you might be left far behind.
I was once in the same situation as yours. Failure is the mother of success. In face of failure, what we need to do is to calm down and reflect our learning methods and make some possible changes or to ask the teachers for advice. Anyway, Rome is not built in a day. Only by sticking to studying persistently can we make progress step by step till success. I truly hope I can be of some help to you .
Yours ever,
Li Hua

M: The blues developed in the southern Unites States from the music of the blank people who were brought from Africa and forced to work as slaves on southern plantations. The earliest form of the blues were work songs field howlers --that was the musical form of communication among slaves.
The name blues comes from the loneliness and sorrow typically expressed in the song words.
The blues started out with only human voices involved, but over time, musicians began to use musical instruments to perform together with blues singers.
