二、阅读理解(35分)
第一节(30分)
A
You've just finished a heavy meal and are full up. Suddenly, your host announces proudly that he will be serving his “house specialty” dessert, bananas flambe and that he has spent the better part of the afternoon preparing it. Even though you are foil and don’t even like bananas, you accept a serving of his dessert and eat it all.
Clearly, biological factors do not fully explain our eating behavior. Social factors, based on societal rules and on what we have learned about appropriate eating behavior, also play an important role. Take, for example, the simple fact that people customarily eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at approximately the same times every day. Because we tend to eat on schedule every day, we feel hungry as the usual hour approaches.
Similarly, we put roughly the same amount of food on our plate every day, even though the amount of exercise we may have had, and consequently our need for energy supply, varies from day to day. We also tend to prefer particular food over others. Rats and dogs may be a delicacy in certain Asian cultures, but few people in Western cultures find them appealing despite their potentially high nutritional value. In sum, cultural influences and our individual habits play important roles in determining when, what, and how much we eat.
Other social factors relate to our eating behavior as well. Some of us head toward the refrigerator after a difficult day, seeking comfort in a scoop of Heath Bar Crunch ice cream. Perhaps when we were children,
our parents gave us food when we were upset. Eventually, we may have learned to associate food with comfort. Similarly, we may learn that eating, which focuses our attention on immediate pleasures, provides an escape from unpleasant thoughts. Consequently,we may eat when we feel upset and anxious.
21. What causes you to accept the host's dessert offer at the end of the meal?
A. Your hunger. B. The host’s pride. C. The pleasant taste. D. Social politeness.
22. The author explains the factors in eating mainly by .
A. making a comparison. B. using examples. C. analyzing the data. D. undertaking a survey.
23. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Social Factors in Eating. B. Causes of Hunger.
C. Table Manners at Meals. D. Cultural Differences in Eating.

Find Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空) Center
If you’re looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation Center (SAC) is the place to be. The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.
More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering, aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions. They come to camp, wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what they’re studying in the classroom.
For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges(荣誉徽章). At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets, learn about space tasks and try simulated(模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit(驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water-and land –survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of a “downed” pilot.
With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.
All this fun is available for ages 9 to 19. Families can enjoy the experience together, too, with Family Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining
any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
27. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To remember the birth of jazz B. To protect cultural diversity
C. To encourage people to studying music D. To recognize the value of jazz
28. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible B. The production of jazz growing faster
C. Jazz being less popular with the young D. The jazz audience becoming larger
29. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A. It will disappear gradually B. It remains black and white
C. It should keep up with the times D. It changes every 50 years
30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician D. Celebrating the Jazz Day
第二节:七选五
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。选项中两项为多余选项。
Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 31
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 32 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing(加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 33
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 34 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a might’s sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information---our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 35 “You keep what matters,” Tnoni says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.
三、完形填空(30分)
I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 36 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 37 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 38 children from different races and religions played and studied 39 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 40 from Ismail’s.

something 52 to describe.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
As is known to all, the traffic is very poor and heavy in India. The bus or the train is really crowded. Every time I go home from my company or leave home for my company, I have to accept such a hard experience, though I have been used to it.
On a cold December morning in 2009, I boarded a bus with my four bags which were large. Luckily, there were two empty seats left. About one hour later, a well-dressed young guy got in and took the seat next to mine. I was cautious. I would often come across guys who were eager to talk to a girl travelling on her own. So I was not surprised when he spoke up.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“Rampur Bushahr,” I replied briefly and put on my earphones to enjoy some music or to avoid talking with him. He did not bother me after that as if he had known my idea.
It started to rain and cold water was dropping through the roof right on to my lap. Seeing that, the guy emptied a plastic shopped bag full of clothes, which he pushed into his travel bag. He then handed me the plastic bag. I accepted it with a sheepish(困窘的) “thanks” before spreading it on my lap.
Minutes later, the bus broke down! The conductor announced we would have to move to another bus that would reach us shortly, and that there would be no more buses after that, since there had been heavy snowfalls. All the passengers of the bus got off and stood on the side of the road, ready to rush into the next bus. the conductor unwillingly helped me get off the bus with my luggage and I too waited with other passengers.
