I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy. My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger. Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging. Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere. 56. After the author quit her job, she decided to ______. A. divorce her husband B. be a wedding photographer C. pay off all her debt D. go travelling abroad 57. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph? A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip. B. She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer. C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house. D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally. 58. The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______. A. her personal reasons B. her photographing skills C. free marketing for blogging D. booming of travel industry 59. What did the author think of her two years' work? A. Inspiring. B. Appealing. C. Interesting. D. Challenging. 56. 解析：细节题。根据文章第一段2,3 行. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.可知当我辞职以后我决定离开美国出去旅行，同时 拍摄照片。故 D 正确。 答案：D 57. 解析：推理题。根据文章最后3行When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography.

My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere 可知虽然我的工作很有意义，但是让我更开心的是我的经历告诉他人 只要努力追赶自己的梦想，一切都可以实现。说明作者认为自己的工作是可以鼓舞他人的。 故 A 正确。 答案：A B As a leading Chinese language school and a cultural exchange institute in China， Global Exchange Education Center has been providing Mandarin (or Putonghua) language courses and cultural exchange programs for over a decade.

Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people's attention again. The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. "The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago," Herrera told us in an email. "The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes." Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称）pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he'll have even more work in the future. Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren't for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have. 64. Making paper snowflakes draws many people's attention probably because ______.

By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.

This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2014, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the "most powerful anti-smoking ad." The anti-smoking video, called the "Smoking Kid," features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project. The video begins with the statement "adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact " Once a "smoking kid" approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad." Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, "You worry about me, but why not about yourself?" Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort. The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment. The most influential element in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves? 68. According to the text, the anti-smoking ad is ______. A. unusual B. shocking C. influential D. encouraging 69. The underlined word "unsuspecting" (in Para. 2) probably means ______ A. uninformed B. unwilling C. unfortunate D. unacceptable 70. What are the adults，reactions to the children asking for a light? A. They pay no attention to children's request. B. They reject kids，request and educate them. C. They look around for children's parents. D. They quickly throw children's cigarettes away. 71. The best title of the text might be ______. A. Give up smoking, for your own sake B. Keep away from smoking, adults C. Tell your children not to smoke D. Reject a child asking for a light 68. 解析：推理题。根据文章倒数第二段 The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment 可知很多人都把香烟扔掉了，说明这个广告在那个时候是有效的。故 C 正确。 答案：C 69. 解析：推理题。根据本句 The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.通过上下文的对比可知 unsuspecting participants 与前面的 actor 是相 反的意思：广告里的孩子是演员，但是抽烟的成年人是不知情的参与者。可知这些成年人事 先是不知道拍摄这个广告的。故 A 正确。 答案：A 70. 解析：细节题。根据第三段最后 2 行 The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad."可知所有的成年人都拒绝了孩子借火的要求，并告诉孩子抽烟有害。故 B 项说法是 正确的。 答案：B 71. 解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一个劝人戒烟的广告，使用儿童演员向成年人借火来告 诉我们： Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?为什么 抽烟的人担心别人，却不担心自己？也就是说要为了自己的健康而戒烟。故 A 正确。 答案：A E Scientists in UK have grown a living human "brain". The team at Aston University created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system. They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, "We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works. "The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤）and making them behave like brain cells. Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, "It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆)." The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said，"We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research." 72. UK scientists grow a living human "brain" in order to ______. A. study the structure of human brain B. make use of living human cell system C. discover how human brain really works D. separate cells from a cancer tumour 73. According to Neil Hunt, research into brain cells ______. A. will get finished as early as possible B. will make people discover dementia C. will affect the brain growth in many ways D. will help to treat some diseases in nerve system 74. From the last paragraph，we can know that ______ A. the technique provided by HRT is immature B. animal tests are no longer allowed by law C. a million people suffer from brain diseases D. the research program lacks financial support 75. The text is intended to ______. A. tell us about a breakthrough in medical research B. introduce a research program in human's brain C. introduce the progress of drugs for dementia D. tell us about health problem in nerve system 72. 解析：推理题。根据文章第二段 2,3 行 We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works.可知这个研究的目的在于研究 人类的大脑是如何工作的。故 C 正确。 答案：C 73. 解析：推理题。根据第三段最后 2 行 Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, "It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆)."可知这样的研究会让我们发现一种有用的工具来研究痴呆这样的疾病。说明 D 项的 说法是正确的。 答案：D 74. 解析：细节题。根据文章最后一句 However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research 可知这个研究的最大的问题就是缺少资金。故 D 正 确。 答案：D 75. 解析：目的意图题。根据文章第一段 Scientists in UK have grown a living human "brain". The team at Aston University created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system 可知本 文介绍了英国科学家进行的一项对人类的大脑的研究计划。故 B 正确。 答案：B 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共 35 分） 第四部分：写作(共两节, 满分 35 分） 第一节 任务型读写 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 10 分） 阅读下面短文, 根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, approval, gratitude and forgiveness. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug on various occasions can make a world of difference in our young learner's lives. On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome "The First Day Fears." By the way’ giving hugs for the first full week wouldn't hurt either. Hugs are relatively inexpensive and apparently very healthy. It's the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident. Usually, bedtime is the most frightening time of the day for most kids，who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight hug coupled with reading their favorite story or singing their favorite song may help them have a good sleep. Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow.com, "A caring yet inspiring environment is always helpful in promoting a child's language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you." Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there's one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug. A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So remember to hug your children often and put emotion behind it and really mean it!

Some students are crazy about such tours while others show their great concerns. Personally, I think study tours play a critical role in developing students’ study interests. Most of the time, students acquire knowledge and skills from textbooks. By walking out of the campus, they can learn through their own experiences and observations. They can understand better about what they have learned from textbooks. Therefore their motivation and enthusiasm for study is greatly inspired. Besides, studying tours contributes a lot to shaping a student's life values and personalities. They become more confident in getting along with others, living in harmony with nature and admiring traditional culture. Of course, we must put safety in the first place in the course of study four, which is also the major concern of our parents and schools.
