In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle's body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4－6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.‎ Held at Wiley Hall Wednesday, March 26,2014‎ Behind Heathman Dormitory/Butterfield Rd.‎ ‎12: 00 PM－6: 00 PM Don't forget to bring your driver's license or another form of identification when you donate.‎ Visit www. ribc. org to make an appointment, Sponsor Code 3390.‎ FREE Kingston Pizza !!!‎ Marrow Donors: BE THE Match ‎·be 18 to 44 years old bethematch. org ‎ ‎·in good health ‎ ‎·give a swab (化验标本) of your cheek cells for marrow typing ‎ ‎·FREE — sponsored (赞助) by Michael's Fund www. ribc. org　　　800－283－ 8385‎ The Rhode Island Blood Center distributes blood products to hospitals in Rhode Island and Southern New England. ‎ ‎21.

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take ‎ the best photo of this panorama.‎ ‎ Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.‎ ‎ Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.‎ ‎ Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.‎ ‎ This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使…永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.‎ ‎ Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for : to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.‎ ‎ That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.‎ ‎24. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?‎ ‎ A. Her camera stopped working. ‎ ‎ B. A friend approached from behind.‎ ‎ C. Someone asked her to leave. ‎ ‎ D. A woman blocked her view.‎ ‎25. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?‎ ‎ A. The woman’s existence in the photo. ‎ ‎ B. The perfect positioning of the camera.‎ ‎ C. The rich color of the landscape. ‎ ‎ D. The soft sunlight that summer day.‎ ‎26. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.‎ ‎ A. the need to be close to nature ‎ ‎ B. the importance of private space ‎ C. the shared passion for beauty ‎ ‎ D. the joy of the vacation in Italy ‎27. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections(反思) upon _______.‎ ‎ A. the pleasure of traveling B. a particular life experience ‎ C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship ‎ ‎ ‎ C ‎ Most of us will be familiar with the traditional talent show set-up: thousands of hopefuls line up outside the audition (试音) room, wait for hours, go in and perform for a group of judges. Then these potential pop stars could be lucky and get through to the next round, or they might hear the command, “Sorry, it’s a ‘no’ from me”. But what do the judges actually bring to a talent show?‎ Music talent show judges attract millions of viewers each week to their programs. As public figures, they play an important part in advertising campaigns for these programs. But they often receive high salaries and can be moody. Are they really worth the expenses and difficulties that they can cause? One solution might be to replace them with computers.‎ Can computers really match human judges? Scientist Dr. Nick Collins and his team at the University of Sussex think they can. Dr. Collins has been working on a project that involves programming three computerized judges that he says would be far more consistent in their judgment of musical performances. Employing a special programming language, Dr. Collins’s digital judges can be trained up by “listening” to particular musical styles. After they have been listening for a while, the programming language allows these judges to spot the specific features of the music. It takes ‎ eight hours to train the electronic judges in this way. During this time, they analyze lots of information about each track (录音) they listen to, including the voice quality of the music, the rhythm and the way the tracks change over time.‎ Collins even says that the judges also have pet hates or guilty pleasures and that he can’t expect how they will turn out. He adds, “The judges’ listening ability is not yet as good as a human ear, but they won’t be as moody as some human reality TV show judges.”‎ Maybe that’s the problem with this electronic musical change. Real human judges on talent shows interest us with their personality, decisions and humorous words. Will a computer be able to do the same?‎ ‎28. The setup of the traditional talent show is described in Paragraph 1 to _________.‎ ‎ A. find out more potential pop star ‎ B. show the popularity of the talent show ‎ C. bring up the topic of talent show judges ‎ ‎ D. make people familiar with the talent show ‎29. What is the key message conveyed in Paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A. Judges are very important in the talent show programs.‎ ‎ B. There are some problems with talent show judges.‎ ‎ C. There are too many advertisements in talent show programs.‎ ‎ D. Music talent shows are very popular nowadays.‎ ‎30. Which of the following best describes how Collins’s computerized judges work?‎ ‎ A. They follow the change of each track.‎ ‎ B. They discover the characteristics of the music after listening to it.‎ ‎ C. They assess the voice quality of specific music.‎ ‎ D. They imitate the specific features of different music styles.‎ ‎31. What’s the writer’s opinion about replacing real human judges with computerized ones?‎ ‎ A. Doubtful B. Interested C. Satisfied D. Optimistic D Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?‎ UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their cooperation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".‎ Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.‎ Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.‎ ‎"We didn't take any notice of it, " Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future. ‎ ‎32. The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees ________. ‎ A. compete for survival ‎ B. depend on each other C. protect their own wealth ‎ D. provide support for dying trees ‎33. "Mother trees" are extremely important because they ________. ‎ A. pass on nutrition to young trees B. look the largest in size in the forest C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans D. know more about the complex "tree societies"‎ ‎34. The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to ________. ‎ A. how young trees survive B. how trees grow old C. how forestry industry develops D. how "tree societies" work ‎35. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Trees Are Smarter Than You Think B. Young Trees Are in Need of Protection C. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans D. Trees Contribute to Our Society 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。‎ Not only is the English vocabulary huge, it is also full of words that mean practically the same thing. Get, obtain, acquire. Shine, gleam, glow, sparkle. 36 ‎ That was the thinking of a British writer named C.K. Ogden, who in the 1930s promoted a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. 37 ‎ Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 38 Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators”— words like come, go, take, have, make, be and do— Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal” and forget is “go from memory.”‎ Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English, and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 39 Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest, joked that Churchill’s famous speech about offering his “blood, toil, tears and sweat” to his country wouldn’t have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood, work, eye water and face water, which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words.”‎ ‎ 40 Churchill didn’t use it either. When seeking to express ourselves, we don’t necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. So it’s our benefit to have a large supply of words on hand. ‎ A. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.‎ B. Ogden himself didn’t actually use Basic English.‎ C. Plenty of seeming basic words did not make the list at all.‎ D. How many words are there in English?‎ E. He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.‎ F. Do we really need them all?‎ G. Despite attention from world leaders, Basic English never got as far as expected.‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ I am a self-disciplined woman.

Above the peaks, which indicate dreams and triumphs, an eagle soaring high in the blue sky will surely catch your eyes first.

Meanwhile, related wishes should get across to you. The golden color represents the bright future for the senior 3 students, giving them good luck and fresh hope. What’s more, the flying bird carries the fortune for them, wishing them to get a higher score in the exam.‎ From my perspective, it is my best wish that makes my design outstanding. Sincerely and faithfully, from the bottom of my heart shines my best wish that each senior 3 student could get a satisfactory score and an admission ticket to the dream university.‎
