Ⅰ.阅读理解
Martha Graham，born in 1894，was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance，whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts，Stravinsky had on music，or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture.She created almost two hundred dance pieces.She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.
Earlier in her life，however，Martha did not know that she would become a dancer.At that time，the dancers were looked down on.So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning.Until 1916，she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts，founded by Ruth St.Denis and Ted Shawn，where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.
In 1936，Graham made her defining work，Chronicle，which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance.The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner.Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929，the Great Depression that followed，and the Spanish Civil War，it focused on depression and isolation，reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.
Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy.Once again，she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows.But she didn't give up.Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag.A Dancer's World is an introduction to Graham and her work.She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.
Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime，including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976.She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor.She died in 1991.In 1998，Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
For most caffeine (咖啡因) consumers, its chief benefit is that it helps you get more things done.This is what makes it unusual, says Stephen Braun, author of Buzz：The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine.
“Its appeal is that it helps us earn more money，” he adds.“What makes it different from other drugs is that it's used as a productivity tool—not for pleasure.”
Many of history's creative minds have also been associated with a large amount of caffeine consumption.
According to one biographer, the French novelist and playwright, Balzac drank as many as 50 cups of coffee a day.“Were it not for coffee one could not write, which is to say one could not live，” he once insisted.
For seven years, the film maker David Lynch ate at the same Los Angeles diner every day, drinking up to seven sweetened cups of coffee “with lots of sugar” in one sitting, which he said would guarantee that “lots of ideas” arrived.
Ludwig Van Beethoven was said to have painstakingly counted out exactly 60 coffee beans per cup when he brewed (煮) coffee.
Perhaps recent tales of caffeine excess featured the singer Robbie Williams, who reportedly consumed 36 cups of black coffee and 20 cans of Red Bull a day.
It is the routine task itself, as much as the stimulating (刺激的) effects of caffeine, that makes the process so important, says Mason Currey, author of Daily Rituals：How Artists Work.“A lot of artists use the process of making coffee as a gateway to the creative process，” he adds.“You need to get into the right mindset to do that sort of work, and the preparation process provides a focus.”
“One problem with attempting to control caffeine is that it affects everyone differently — it is impossible to work out a ‘ safe’ limit that works for everyone.Eventually, you have to become your own scientist — there isn't an alternative to careful self?experimentation，” says Braun.
[语篇导读] 作者在文中讲述了喝咖啡不仅帮助人们提神和提高工作效率，而且还可以帮助艺术家获得灵感，但是切记莫贪杯。
1．Stephen Braun mainly stresses caffeine's ________.
A．creating ideas
B．improving work efficiency
C．helping people to relax
D．stimulating people
解析：B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...it helps you get more things done”和第二段中的“What makes it...is that it's used as a productivity tool—not for pleasure.”可知，Stephen Braun强调caffeine可以帮助我们提高工作效率。故选B项。]
2．The examples of some famous people are given to show that ________.
A．most artists like drinking coffee
B．drinking coffee helps artists make more money
C．there's a link between drinking coffee and creating ideas
D．drinking coffee makes artists become more successful
解析：C [意图推断题。依据第三段的内容可知，历史上许多富有创意的想法与大量咖啡因的摄入有关。在下文中根据作者对几位名人的描述可知，他们都是通过喝咖啡获得创意和灵感的，由此可知选项C正确。]
3．What leads to the artists' creative process according to Mason Currey?
A．Getting a good mindset.
B．Drinking the coffee.
C．Being lost in thought.
D．Brewing the coffee.
解析：D [细节理解题。依据倒数第二段中的“A lot of artists use the process of making coffee as a gateway to the creative process”可知，Mason Currey认为正是制作咖啡的过程帮助了艺术家进入创作的状态，故选D项。]
4．What does Braun advise us to do in the end?
A．To drink less coffee.
B．Never to take more coffee than you need.
C．Never to limit caffeine use.
D．To work out a safe level of caffeine use.
解析：B [推理判断题。在文章最后一段Braun指出，就咖啡因的使用量而言，很难制订出一个适合所有人的标准，最终每个人都必须成为自己的科学家。其言外之意是喝咖啡的量因人而异，故选B项。]
Ⅱ.阅读填句
In any college application process，the interview is very important.
Most of guides to interview tips will tell you to smile，make eye contact，and shake hands with the interviewer firmly.__1__
So，what should you do?
The interviewer must determine if you're a good match for the university.__2__
__3__Interviewers are constantly surprised so many really smart and hard-working students do little research before they go in for their interviews.You should，for example，find out where your interviewer is from，what major he or she studys，and maybe even find the publications he or she has written.This can be done easily by searching for a few minutes online.
More importantly，you should do a lot of research on the university beyond simply knowing its ranking in the league tables.Interviewers hate that you say you want to go to the university just because it's famous.__4__After all，you want this school to choose you rather than another excellent Chinese student.
Finally，make sure you “do your homework”．If you're interested in biology，be sure to know the biology professors' names.If you're interested in hiking and camping，be sure to know the names of the outdoor clubs at the school.__5__
A．Remember that preparation is the key.
B．They will lead to your success in the interview.
C．That means it's important to be socially well-adjusted.
D．Tie your interests and goals to what the school in particular can offer.
E．First of all，dress appropriately to make a good impression.
F．Unfortunately，few tell you what it is that the interviewer is really looking for.
G．Instead，you should explain why you choose it instead of other great universities.
[语篇导读] 本文从三个方面介绍了申请者针对大学面试需要做的工作。
1．F [过渡句。根据上文信息“Most of guides to interview tips will tell you to smile，make eye contact...”可知，此处提到了一些简单的面试技巧，根据下文信息“what should you do？”判断，以上建议远远不够，F项“Unfortunately，few tell you what it is that the interviewer is really looking for”与上句构成转折，提出面试者真正需要的标准，符合上下文。]
2．C [细节句。根据面试官必须确定你是否适合这所大学可判断，能不能适应这所大学很重要，这样才能更好地适应社会，由此判断C项符合题意。]
3．A [细节句。根据下文信息“Interviewers...before they go in for their interviews...”判断，面试者在面试之前需要做准备，故A项信息“Remember that preparation is the key”符合题意。]
4．G [过渡句。根据上文信息“Interviewers hate that you say you want to go to the university just because it's famous.”可知，面试官讨厌听到你说选择他们大学是因为其名气，由此判断，你需要解释选择他们大学的真正原因，故G项符合题意。]
5．D [总结句。上文提到“如果你对生物感兴趣，了解生物教授叫什么。如果你对徒步旅行和露营感兴趣，了解该学校户外俱乐部的名字”，由此判断后句应该是讲自己对什么感兴趣和学校能够提供什么资源，故选D，要把你的兴趣目标和学校特别提供的东西联系起来。]
Ⅲ.语法填空
A hutong is an ancient city street typical in Beijing.__1__(surround) the Forbidden City，many were built during the Yuan，Ming and Qing __2__(dynasty)．In order to establish the strongest power，emperors planned the city and arranged the residential areas.__3__ center of the city Beijing was the royal palace—the Forbidden City.
At the end of the Qing dynasty，after __4__(close) China came under the influence from abroad，many old hutongs lost __5__(they) former neat arrangement.

However，in the urban district of Beijing houses along hutongs still occupy one __9__(three) of the total area，providing housing for half population，so many hutongs __10__(survive)．In this respect，we see the old in the new in Beijing as an ancient yet modern city.
[语篇导读] 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了北京胡同的发展历史、建造作用以及当前的状况等。
1．Surrounding [考查现在分词。胡同环绕着紫禁城，它们中的许多建造于元、明、清时期。分析该句结构可知，many前面的部分为状语；主语many 代指“胡同”，和动词surround之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词。]
2．dynasties [考查名词复数。根据该句中的“Yuan，Ming and Qing”可知，该处指三个朝代，dynasty为可数名词，故该处用复数形式。]
3．The [考查定冠词。北京城的中心是皇宫——紫禁城。根据该句中的“of the city Beijing”可知，该处特指“北京城的中心”，故用定冠词The。]
4．closed [考查形容词。根据句子结构和空后的名词“China”可知，空处修饰该名词，表示“闭关自守的”，故用形容词。]
5．their [考查代词。根据空后的名词短语“former neat arrangement”可知，空处修饰该名词短语，故用形容词性物主代词。]
6．were improved [考查动词的时态和语态。1949年中华人民共和国成立以后，胡同的状况得到了改善。该句主语为“hutong conditions”，和动词improve之间是被动关系，故用被动语态；根据该句中的时间状语可知，该句介绍过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。]
7．down [考查介词。但是近年来，许多胡同中的房子被拆毁，取而代之的是现代化的建筑。pull down为固定搭配，意为“拆毁”。]
8．both [考查固定搭配。both...and...为固定搭配，意为“两者都……”。]
9．third [考查数词。该处指“在北京市区的胡同中的房子占整个地区的三分之一”，分母用序数词，故用third。]
10．have survived [考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“still occupy”可知，该空表示过去的动作一直持续到现在，故用现在完成时。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
When something goes wrong in your life，who do you blame (把……归咎于)？I often hear my classmate Tom say，“My grade is bad because our school is too bad.It's not my fault”，“My mother always criticized me when I was a child.That's why I have no confidence.And I faced so many difficulties in my life.”Sadly，many people think others are accountable for (对……应负责) what isn't working in their life.What they don't realize is that blame makes them lose their personal power.
Just take a look at the word itself：BLAME.Can you see the two other words hidden within？“Lame and Me”．The real meaning of lame above is“weak”．When you take full accountability for your life— the situations you're in，the way you feel，and the choices you make—no one has power over you.I may not be able to control what occurs around me but I certainly decide how I am going to deal with it and how I will allow it to influence me.
You can try your best to study hard and make good preparations for your future life.Your mother's hurtful words about you aren't truth.You can remind yourself that you will be an_asset .Remember that you are useful and helpful.And you really can do something.Then，begin making more correct decisions about your life.Otherwise，you remain lost in the past and continue to blame your mother.
Don't let go of your happiness and success to another.Take ownership(所有权)for everything you do.No one is responsible for your life except you.Make sure to become the person you admired before and create the life you want to live.In future，be the master of your own life.So blame no one.
[语篇导读] 当错误出现后，不要责备别人，我们自己要勇于承担责任。
1．By mentioning the word“BLAME”，the author means ____.
A．“Control what occurs around us.”
B．“Blame is a sign of weakness.”
C．“Your life is your own business”
D．“Stop something bad happening to us.”
解析：B [推理判断题。根据第二段“Just take a look at the word itself：BLAME.Can you see the two other words hidden within？‘Lame and Me’．The real meaning of lame above is ‘weak’．”可知，作者认为，有两个词“Lame”和“Me”藏在“BLAME”里，而“lame”在此处的意义是“weak”，软弱的含义。故作者认为，责备(别人)是(自己)软弱的一种信号。]
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Blame can't be avoided but meaningless.
B．We should accept different influences from bad situations.
C．Try to make the best use of mistakes we made before.
D．People can't be controlled by others when they are accountable for themselves.
解析：D [细节理解题。根据第二段“When you take full accountability for your life—the situations you're in，the way you feel，and the choices you make—no one has power over you.”可知，当你能够为你自己的生活负责：包括你的处境、你感知的方式、你所做的选择，没有人能够掌控你。故如果人们能够对自己负责，他们将会变得强大无比，没有人能够掌控你。]
3．The underlined words “an asset” (in Para.3) probably refer to ____.
A．a born loser
B．a kind person
C．a good listener
D．a valuable person
解析：D [词义猜测题。根据上文“Your mother's hurtful words about you aren't truth.”可知，此处指Tom妈妈带有伤害的话并不是事实；再根据下文“Remember that you are useful and helpful.And you really can do something.”可知，要记住你是一个有用的、有帮助的人，是能够真正做一些事情的，故要记住，你是一个有价值的人。]
4．What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A．Face difficulty in life bravely.
B．Learn something from failure.
C．Be responsible for what we do.
D．Try to be friendly to other people.
解析：C [主旨大意题。本文最后一段是主旨段，根据该段的“No one is responsible for your life except you...So blame no one.”可知，作者主要是告诉我们不要责备他人，自己要勇于承担责任。]

解析：D [根据上文“I had just attended a conference and met a helpful man”可知，作者在参加会议的时候遇到了一个乐于助人的人，是这个乐于助人的人激励了作者去做善事。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
It took just 40 years for the Aral Sea to dry up.Fishing ports suddenly found themselves in a desert.But in one small part of the sea, water is returning.
Khojabay is a fisherman who lives in a desert.Almost everyone in his village used to fish for a living but in the 1970s the fish died, and the sea began to dry up.
Steadily, over the past 40 years, around 60,000 square kms of water, in places 40 metres deep, has evaporated into thin air.
The Aral Sea, in Central Asia, used to be the fourth largest lake in the world, after the Caspian Sea (里海), and Lakes Superior and Victoria.Now barely 10% of it is left.
This must be one of the most dramatic alterations of the Earth's surface for centuries.
In Khojabay's village, Zhalanash in Kazakhstan, on what used to be the Aral Sea's northern shore, there is now no water in sight, just brown earth and wind?blown sand.
“Just over there was the sea.We would come over here and dive in the water.It was right here where we stand now.There was a sandy beach and all the kids sunbathed on it，” he remembers.
His eyes are now failing him, but on the horizon it's possible to make out three black dots, one of the few reminders of the way things once were.
Each is the wreck of a giant fishing boat beached and abandoned, now clanking (发出当啷声) and rattling (嘎啦嘎啦地响) in the wind.Beyond the horizon there are hundreds more.
“This ship was big; it could accommodate at least 20 or even 40 people，” remembers Khojabay，now 86.
“There were fishermen, chefs, sailors and engineers.These big ships could not reach shallow docks when the sea started shrinking.One by one they were stranded in the soft mud, and the mud became the sand in the wind you see now.”
[语篇导读] 本文主要介绍了咸海的变化以及对人们的生活、环境的影响。
1．Why does the author describe Khojabay?
A．He witnesses the Aral Sea drying up.
B．He is the only fisher there.
C．He is older than any other man in the world.
D．He has a big ship sunk there.
解析：A [推理判断题。根据文章提到了现在86岁高龄的当地渔民Khojabay所记忆的事情推知他见证了咸海干枯的历史。]
2．What can we infer from the passage?
A．People like to eat salt fish there.
B．The foreigners travel there for the sun.
C．The Aral Sea is ever a large water.
D．There are various fishes in the Aral Sea.
解析：C [推理判断题。根据第三段提到的“over the past 40 years, around 60,000 square kms of water, in places 40 metres deep”可知当时the Aral Sea的水域面积比较广阔，故C合适。]
3．The giant fishing boat was beached and abandoned, because ________.
A．no one could drive it
B．the Aral Sea became dried up
C．it was polluted and there were no fish at all
D．people ate up all the fish
解析：B [细节理解题。根据文章内容咸海干枯了，没有水，就没有鱼，渔民用来捕鱼的大船只能放弃不用了。故B合适。]
4．What's the best title of the passage?
A．The Great Desert
B．Waiting for the Sea
C．The Sea, the Ship
D．The Salt Sea

Find people who share the same interests with you.

5．G [细节句。由本段标题句可知，本段强调寻找和你有共同兴趣爱好的人，根据下文中的“This is how most friendships start.”可知有共同兴趣爱好的人大多会成为朋友，所以G项“Generally，those who share the same interests are more likely to become friends.”符合。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
“Wars of the next century will be fought over water.” This latest warning comes from the World Bank, the largest international investor in water projects.
So, is the world running out of water？No.The total quantity of fresh water on the earth surpasses (超过) all possible human needs.But tell that to the government of Jordan, which has drawn its underground water almost dry since Israel diverted much of its largest water source, the River Jordan.
There is no world water crisis, but there are crises of under investment, of political conflict over rivers that cross national boundaries, and of rather foolish water management.
The Middle East is the likeliest place for future water wars.A long?term settlement between Israel and its neighbors will depend at least as much on fair allocation (分配) of water as that of land.Iraq and Syria watch and wait as Turkey builds dams in the headwaters of the Euphrates.Elsewhere, India angers Bangladesh by diverting to its fields the thin dry?season flow of the Ganges.
Meanwhile, the best places for dams are mostly used up.Engineering and environmental costs of developing new water sources will be much higher than in the past.
However, the solution to the world's water crisis lies in supply than in demand.The World Bank has spent half a century building dams, but the water problem in most countries results mainly from inefficient use of water.
Israeli scientists have understood this long since.They have revolutionized their countries use of water, cutting out much of the waste in watering crops, which in many countries accounts for 90% of water use.
[语篇导读] 本文是说明文。世界银行警告：世界面临淡水危机。中东一些国家也展开了激烈的争水大战。事实上，淡水资源能够满足人们的需求，缺水只是地方性的。
1．The world's total fresh water supply ________.
A．is more than enough for human needs
B．doesn't meet human needs
C．is likely to run out in the next century
D．can't be renewed once it is used up
解析：A [细节理解题。由第二段第三句“The total quantity of fresh water on the earth surpasses all possible human needs”可知，地球上的淡水能够满足人们的需求。故选A。]
2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．There is a world water crisis.
B．There is great improvement in the fresh water supply.
C．There is local fresh water shortage.
D．There is no way to solve the present water problems.
解析：C [细节理解题。由第二、三段可知，就世界范围而言，地球上的淡水资源是充足的，缺水是地方性的。故选C。]
3．According to the author, peace between Israel and its neighbors will not come unless ________.
A．the water problem is solved
B．the UN takes part in the talks
C．the USA acts as the peace maker
D．all Arab countries join in the peace talks
解析：A [细节理解题。由第四段可知，以色列要与周边国家和平相处，就得像合理分配土地一样合理分配水资源，因此A项正确。]
4．The chief solution to the water crisis is ________.
A．developing new fresh water sources
B．building more dams
C．co?operation among nations
D．efficient use of water
解析：D [推理判断题。由倒数第二段的最后一句中“the water problem in most countries results mainly from inefficient use of water”可知，解决水资源不足的主要途径之一就是有效地利用水资源。故选D。]
