Everybody called him “the FC ” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other. “Your request is out of the question, ” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programs. “And why do you want to do that? ” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department ’sprograms. There ’s great demand for them, ” he answered. The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programs. The FC became less confident (自信 ). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it. The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字 ) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well, ” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake. ” Robert noticed the word “may. ” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all. 56. In the story the Financial Controller was a person who was in charge of___. A. Robert ’s department ’s programs. B. EBC programs. C. EBC money. D. both B and C. 57. “Your request is out of the question. ” Here “out of the question ” means___. A. without any question B. with some question. C. impossible. D. possible. 58. Robert decided to make more programs because ________. A. he wanted to meet the needs of the listeners. B. “the FC ” disliked him C. the members of his department wanted him to do so. D. he wanted to show himself off. 59. Who do you think won the argument(争论 )in the end? A. The Financial Controller. B. Robert. C. Nobody. D. The listeners. B Submit your photos and videos to You Witness News to have them considered for use on Reuters. com, Yahoo!, and the Reuters professional picture service, used by thousands of news organizations worldwide. When you send images to pics @ reuters. com, please provide the following so that we can review and post them: ·Your full name ·Your email address or phone number ·A brief description of the event you shot with the place and date that it occurred. The next images shown across the world ’s newspapers, television channels, and news sites could be yours. Share your take with the world. What makes a good news photograph? As you ’re thinking about taking news photographs, think about what makes up a good picture. Most importantly, it will be of interest to a wide audience. It may describe an event in the news: a train crash, a clash in the streets, crazily happy fans the moment the big game is won. Uniqueness is eye-catching. A picture that no one else took has much more news value than one taken alongside a rank of other photographers. A good news picture will tell a story without words. It will have context by showing the surrounding scene, or show the emotion on the faces of the people in the picture. Timeliness is critical. Whatever the content, a news picture can lose its value in a short space of time. News events move quickly, and the shot of a mini tornado you took last week may have been destined for the front page when you took it, but of no interest to a newspaper or a website a week later. Control is important. Please remember, absolutely no photo is worth bothering others, putting yourself or others in danger, or getting in trouble with the law. We’re looking forward to seeing your pictures. 60．The following are the features of a good news photograph except that . A．it is unique B．it is timely C．it respects others ’ privacy and the law D．it can arouse specialists ’ interest 61．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．You Witness News is a column of a website. B．The photos or videos you take are only shared by Yahoo! and Reuters. com. C．Attach a brief description of yourself when submitting your photos and videos. D．Any photo or video you take will be accepted by You Witness News. 62．The purpose of the passage is . A．to teach you how to take photos. B．to tell people what a good news photo is C．to remind people not to disturb others while taking photos D．to encourage you to share the take. 63．Which of the following is a good news photograph? A．A bird escapes from the cage. B．A policeman is robbed in the street. C．Two dogs fight in the park. D．An old couple quarrel at home. C For thousands of years humans have used herbs, roots, and other things from nature to cure disease. Scientists looking for new cures often visit traditional healers. They find out what plants are used in healing. Then they look at what the plant contains. They find the active ingredient, which is the chemical in the plant that works to heal. Many of the drugs we use, including aspirin, have come from these natural medicines. In recent years, many people in the US have been taking what are legally known as dietary supplements(补药 ). They may be vitamins or minerals. They may be herbs that help with health problems, such as depression. Some of them are teas. Others are capsules or tablets. They are sold in natural food stores, drug stores, and groceries. Most people think that because these products are natural they are also safe. This is not always true. There are many plants that are poisonous. There are others that have bad side effects. The New England Journal of Medicine publishes medical research. A recent edition called for the government to regulate dietary supplements. Several doctors wrote to the Journal and told of bad experiences people have had with dietary supplements. Dietary supplements aren't tested in the same way as drugs. There is not always proof that the supplement really does what it is supposed to do. There is also a problem with purity of the supplements. Supplements have been found to contain things that are bad for the body. For example, the California Department of Health found that of 260 herbs grown in China, one third contained heavy metals. These are minerals such as lead and mercury(水银 ). They are very poisonous, even in tiny amounts. 64. The scientists study the cures from the healers in order to _______. A. find out if the plant is poisonous B. find out what in the plant works to cure disease C. look for aspirin in the plant D. make sure that the plant can cure disease 65. We can infer from the second paragraph that _______. A. it is legal to take dietary supplement in the USA B. supplements are safe because they are natural medicines. C. all the supplements are poisonous D. none of the supplements has bad side effects 66. The underlined word “regulate ” in the third paragraph means _______. A. punish B. remove C. control D. manage 67. Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage? A. Scientists think herbs, roots can be used to cure disease. B. People believe dietary supplements contains vitamins and minerals. C. It is right that the dietary supplements are always safe. D. Dietary supplements are harmful to your health. D You could be a heroic hunter by expecting to fight against evil monsters or the fastest F1 driver around .In the world of computer games, nothing is impossible. If you’re into computer games, E3 is where you can find the most up-to-date equipment．For both gamers and companies, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), held in Los Angeles, US, for three days from May 10, was a carnival (狂欢节 ). The top three computer game manufacturers (生产商 ) in the world all showed off their new machines. Nintendo ’s (任天堂 ) new game controller looks as easy to use as a TV remote. Sony’s PlayStation 3 combines the world ’s most powerful game console (游戏机 ) with a next-generation DVD player. Microsoft ’s Xbox 360 can connect to personal computers (PC) and cell phones, so users can transfer game content among the three systems. PC VS Console The E3 also had new games for both PCs and consoles such as the Xbox or PlayStation. Gamers will again be faced with the long—existing problem of which system to use. Some analysts have suggested that PC gaming has seen its day, since console players have made great advances. Further, compared with a PC, a console is cheap. The average price of the PlayStation and the Xbox is only one-third of that of a personal computer. One of the biggest advantages the PC has over consoles is that there are a lot more games available, plus many are free to download. PCs also give gamers a variety of ways to connect to the Internet, and to one another. However, many consoles now support online games as well. It seems that as long as people can be dragon(龙)hunters or crazy drivers, it doesn ’t matter whether it is on a PC or a console. 68. The second part of the passage is mainly about ________． A. a comparison between different systems B. up-to-date computer games C. E3 D. 1ong existing problem of gaming 69. The writer compares E3 to a carnival because ________. A. the latest game equipment is on show there B. this is the world of computer games C. new game machines are given away there D. it shows the vast possibility of gaming 70. Compared to consoles, the personal computer has the advantages of ________. A. 1ower prices B. having made great advances C. supporting online games D. a lot more games available and free to download 71. As for different game systems，the writer __________ ． A. points out PC gaming is no longer on the market B. prefers consoles C. shows a neutral (中立的 ) viewpoint D. suggests using cell phones to connect them E Few in the West seemed to notice when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to award the 2014 Winter Games to the Russian town of Sochi. Yet this choice is full of geopolitical meaning. President Vladimir Putin flew to Guatemala City to address IOC delegates before they voted, and surprised them by speaking in French and -- for the first time ever in public -- English. Later he declared that Sochi ’s victory was "not only a recognition of Russia's achievements in sports" but also "an assessment of our country". Sochi, located between the Caucasus and the Black Sea, has poor roads, one old ski resort (胜 地 ) and out-of-date facilities. In the next five years it will be transformed by a burst of construction unprecedented (前所未有的 ) in the history of Russia. Winning the Olympic bid has given Russian politicians a focus, a $12 billion project they can use to showcase their power and that of their country. Several have already announced big investments in Sochi. Olympic planners will have to assure that the Sochi project does not collapse under the weight of corruption ( 腐败 ), which Russian officials are famous for. With many eyes watching, they will also have to develop the green landscape around Sochi, where some of Europe's last wild bears roam in primitive mountain forests, with more care for the environment than Russia has traditionally shown. Sochi also sits on the edge of a region that has been boiling with ethnic (民族的 ) and political tension since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In past centuries it was ruled by both Georgia and Abkhaia, which is now a breakaway region of Georgia. Russia supports the rebel regime in Abkhazia, but as the Olympics approach it may feel it needs to be careful. The president of Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili, might have bitterly protested the Olympic Committee ’s decision to award the Winter Games to a country that actively supports rebels within Georgia. Instead he was wise enough to realize that this event could push Russia toward compromise solutions in Abkhazia and perhaps even in Ossetia, Nagorno -- Karabakh and Chechnya. 72. We can infer from the second paragraph that President Vladimir Putin often speaks in public in ___. A. Russian B. French C. English D. Spanish 73. Although Sochi has poor transportation and unsatisfying facilities, holding the 2014 Winter Olympic Games there obviously gives it a chance _______. A. to ask the IOC for more money B. to break away from Georgia C. to challenge the world D. to develop 74. What does the underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph refer to? A. The rebel regime in Abkhazia. B. Georgia. C. Sochi. D. Russia. 75. From the last paragraph we know that _______. A. the president of Georgia strongly protested the IOC ’s decision B. the Olympic Games might be a chance to ease regional tensions C. the IOC supports the rebels in Georgia D. Georgia wants to break away from Russia 第二卷 第四部分：写作（共两节， 满分 35 分） 第一节 : 短文改错 (共 10 小题，每小题 1 分；满分 l0 分) 此题要求改正所给文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右边 横线上画一个勾 ( √)；如有错误 (每行只有 —个错误 )，则按下列情况改正： 该行多一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号 ^,在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。 该行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正的词。 注意：原行没有错的不要改。 While traveled to Paris on a bus, I became very sick. 76． A well-dressing man on the bus helped me greatly.

However, different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argue that it is a good thing for middle school students to visit the famous university campus because it can enable them to get more information about the university and as a result set up their study goals. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view that the public tourism will have a negative effect on the universities because it will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere. In my opinion, the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study. With the increasing tourism on the campus, it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.
