All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There’s a catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.‎ Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.‎ To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.‎ The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without banging their heads. They ate mash(a kind of food for animals) and drink water from a garden hose-pipe(软管). Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”‎ Finally it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great for me to be able to stand up.” he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters ‎ watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone. ‎ ‎61.What kind of person is Rob Thompson? ‎ A. He is curious about people's personal life ‎ B. He is kind-hearted to animals ‎ C. He dislike people around ‎ D. He likes to help poor people ‎ ‎62.

What made it the most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?‎ A. That they had nothing for amusement.‎ B. That they couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage.‎ C. That they had to do almost everything under others’ very eyes.‎ D. That they didn’t have meat to eat.‎ ‎64. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. An Easy Way to Earn $2,500 B. Do Not Feed Humans C. Living Like a Chicken D. Getting Along Well Anyway B This is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give?

The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5'8''tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.‎ ‎“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”‎ But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” Said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.‎ But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation can change the situation. There was no time to waste, so many girls were dieting to death.” ‎ However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.‎ Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”‎ ‎69.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ________.‎ A. to change the working conditions of models B. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death C. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders D. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness ‎70. In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because .‎ A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit B. the fashion industry is much too influential C. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well D. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models ‎71. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?‎ A. Establishing his fashion model agent.‎ B. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.‎ C. Being interviewed by a reporter.‎ D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.‎ ‎72. According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is .‎ A. practical B. acceptable C. reasonable D. controversial D KING LEAR Part 3‎ NARRATOR: As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him disrespectfully. When Lear wants to speak to her, Goneril tells her servant, Oswald, to say she is sick. She encourages her staff to be disrespectful towards Lear and begins complaining about the hundred soldiers Lear has brought with him. However, King Lear soon has a friend by his side. The Duke of Kent, who Lear ordered to leave Britain, cannot abandon his king. He therefore comes to Lear disguised as a servant called Caius and asks for a job.‎ ‎(Enter Lear, several of Lear's soldiers and Kent disguised as a servant.)‎ LEAR: OK, Caius. I'll give you a trial. And if you prove to be good at your job, I'll keep you on as my servant. (Oswald enters.) Hey, you there. Where's my daughter? (Oswald ignores the king and hurries out of the room.) Hey. What's going on? Call him back. Is he deaf? (A Soldier rushes out after Oswald.) It's as though the whole world has gone to sleep. (Soldier reenters.) Where's that servant? Why didn’t he come back when I called?‎ SOLDIER: Sir, he answered me very rudely and said he would not come back.‎ LEAR: I don’t believe it!‎ SOLDIER: Sir, I am sorry, to tell you this, but it seems to me that you are not being treated with the respect due to a king. Everyone here, including your daughter, is behaving very coldly towards you.‎ LEAR: Mmm. I suspected the same, but I kept telling myself it was my imagination. Please tell my daughter I wish to speak with her. (Soldier bows and leaves. Oswald enters.) Ah, come here my man and answer me. Who am I?‎ OSWALD: My lady's father.‎ LEAR: Your lady's father? Is that all I am to you, you dog, you slave! (Lear raises his arm as though to strike Oswald.)‎ OSWALD: I'll not be hit, my Lord.‎ KENT: (Kent kicks Oswald's feet out from under him.) And you won't be laid flat on your back either, I suppose. Now get up and get out of here. (Oswald leaves.)‎ LEAR: My thanks, Caius. I can see you will be a most valuable servant.(Enter Goneril.) What's up, daughter? You always seem to be frowning lately.‎ GONERIL: Is it any wonder that I frown when your soldiers are continually drinking and fighting? I thought when I told you about their behaviour you would make them behave, but now I hear you have insulted Oswald. I do believe you are encouraging your soldiers in their bad behaviour.‎ LEAR: Is this my daughter scolding me?‎ GONERIL: I have had enough of your soldiers. They are expensive to keep and you don't need them. Besides, their drunken behaviour and bad manners are disgusting. You will send half of them away. And unless you want me to get rid of the rest of them too, I suggest you teach them how to behave properly.‎ LEAR: That's a lie. My soldiers are good men who know how to behave properly. I won't stay here to be insulted. I still have one more daughter. She'll scratch out your eyes when she hears how you've treated me. Men! Get my horses ready and collect my baggage. I'll leave immediately. I won't stay where I'm not welcome. (Lear and companions leave.)‎ NARRATOR: Lear sends Kent on ahead to the castle of his other daughter, Regan, to tell her that he will soon be arriving. Goneril sends her servant Oswald to Regan to tell her side of the story.‎ ‎73.Who does the underlined “him” probably refer to?‎ A、Kent. B、Oswald. C、Lear. D、Soldier.‎ ‎74.Why did the Duke of Kent disguise himself as a servant?‎ A、To find a chance to meet Goneril.‎ B、To share some of the king’s wealth.‎ C、To find a job in the court. ‎ D、To serve and help his king— Lear.‎ ‎75.From the passage, what is the relationship between Goneril and Regan?‎ A、Sisters B、Couple. ‎ C、Sister and Brother. D、Brothers.‎ ‎76.Which of the following best describe the character of King Lear in this passage?‎ A、A wise king and father. ‎ B、A cold-hearted father.‎ C、A cruel and selfish king. ‎ D、A stupid and a bit stubborn man.‎ E In face of global warming, much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies. But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less-polluting energy alternatives, it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.‎ In the meantime, the amount of CO2 in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). “As long as we’re consuming fossil fuels, we’re putting out CO2,” says Klaus Lackner, a geophysicist at Columbia University, “We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely.”‎ That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2, which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming. “We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral (基本的) role in reducing emissions,” says Kim Corley, Shell’s senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs. That forward thinking strategy is gaining support. The U.S. Department of Energy recently proposed putting $1 billion into a new $2.4 billion coal-burning energy plant. The plant’s carbon-capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal-burning plants.‎ But what do you do with the gas once you’ve captured it? One option is to put it to new uses. Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts (转换) coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas. It then ships the gas 200 miles by pipeline to Canada, where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations. In the Netherlands, Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses, increasing their production of fruits and vegetables.‎ However, scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long-term storage. Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean, Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline (盐的) formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.‎ ‎77.What does the author intend to tell readers?‎ A. How to find more oil and natural gases. ‎ B. How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ‎ C. How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively. ‎ D. How to make good use of solar and wind energy.‎ ‎78. According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that _______. ‎ A. the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B. it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structures C. capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D. long-term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2 emissions ‎79. By using CO2, Dutch farmers have been able to _______.‎ A. increase their production of fruits and vegetables ‎ B. convert coal into synthetic natural gas C. pump it underground in oil recovery operations D. make exhausted oil and gas fields productive ‎ ‎80. How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph?‎ A. It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy.‎ B. It refers to the coal-burning energy plant that U.S government sponsors.‎ C. It implies the carbon-capture technologies will be popular once successful.‎ D. It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2 emissions needs a large sum of investment.‎ 第四部分 单词拼写（每小时1分，满分10分）‎ ‎81.After getting to the 8th floor, he p_______for a while and then continued climbing ‎82.In order to survive the fierce competition, each business is supposed to keep it in mind that quality matters more than q_______.‎ ‎83.Even though I was hurt, I forgive her and she later made an a ‎84.Her strong accent b_______ her nationality.‎ ‎85.George felt very g_______ about forgetting to post the latter for his mother. ‎ ‎86.Some people become very self－conscious in _______(青春期)‎ ‎87.Generally speaking, a successful scientist should be both academic and _______ (思想开放的)‎ ‎88.On snowy days, you have to drive very_______ (谨慎) to avoid traffic accident.‎ ‎89.After we quarreled there was an _______ (尴尬的)silence.‎ ‎90.Without a moment’s _______(犹豫), she jumped into the river after the child.‎ 第五部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ Could you believe that the ideal person is never the best at anything? Our heads are so full of ambitions about wealth and power that we spin our wheels until we burn ourselves out and are left hopeless and exhausted.‎ There is great pressure to attain the highest level of achievement. By satisfying our vanity (虚荣) we do ourselves more harm than good. The only way to achieve sustainable happiness is to practice the Golden Mean.‎ The idea of the Golden Mean has existed for thousands of years. It is at the centre of both Eastern and Western philosophy and has more influence than the teachings of Aristotle and Confucius. The idea is simple. Every quality has extremes at both ends. The Golden Mean is the natural balance between these extremes. At this harmonious point goodness and beauty are achieved.‎ Socrates used the example of extreme devotion to athletics versus (与…相比) extreme devotion to music to illustrate this idea. The athlete becomes overly aggressive and cruel, while the musician becomes overly soft and womanish. The ideal is someone who practices both athletics and music and acquires a harmonious mixture of both qualities.‎ Consider an example from modern times that I’m sure everyone has observed. The first person is extremely career driven. Each day he focuses on advancing himself. He spends long hours at the office, competes mercilessly with his coworkers, and flatters his superiors. As a result he has almost no personal life. The second person’s only pursuit is leisure. He likes to waste time with his friends watching television and playing video games.‎ Which of these persons is superior? Many people would argue for the hard worker. But at second glance his life is rather cold. His obsession (痴迷) with success has conflicted with his coworkers and left him without a family. He may become rich, but how will he enjoy it? The second man is no better. He has wasted his life in laziness. He has refused to develop himself and exists as a ‎ lazybones. Both men are worthy of pity.‎ I think we’d all agree the ideal would be somewhere in between these two people. So how do we find the abstract Golden Mean? ‎ It all starts with setting the right goals. Whenever you make a goal you need to do it with the right intention. Don’t set goals with the intention to command other people. Instead, try to start with a goal that is in between total selfishness and total selflessness. ‎ The next step to reaching the Golden Mean is knowing your limits. You need to know when one more project is going to stress you out. The idea is to maintain balance at all times. ‎ Another step to achieving the Golden Mean is being aware of your personal needs. Sure we need money and success, but having good relationships with friends and family are just as important. ‎ I know the Golden Mean is hard to live by, but it is the key to finding your inner confidence. Ben Franklin said, “The wise keep learning from the mistakes of others, fools, scarcely from their own.” Next time you find yourself willing to do anything to be the best of the best, take a moment to reconsider. You may find it is better to be the best “you” you can be.‎ 参考答案 一听力 ‎1-5 CCACA 6-10 BAACA 11-15 BCCBB 16-20 AABCB 二单项选择 ‎21-25BBAAA 26-30 DADAD 31-35 BDCBC 36-40 DBCBD 完形填空 ‎41-45 AADCB　 46-50 BABDD　 51-55 CCABB　 56-60 DACBD　‎ 三阅读理解 ‎61-64BCBC 65-68 BCDA 69-72 CBBD 73-76 CDAD 77-80 CBAC 四单词拼写 81. paused 82.quantity 83.apology 84.betrays 85. guilty 86. adolescence 87. open-minded 88. cautiously 89. awkward 90.

What is expected is that prices of houses will not go up any more. ‎ ‎39.B 解析：With all due respect 意思是出于应有的尊重 ‎ i beg to differ请原谅我不认同 ‎ As predicted 就像原先想的一样 ‎ I can not agree you more我非常同意你的说法 ‎40.D 解析：首先要掌握admitted这个词的用法,在句中是过去时,所以A不能用在此;C答案中cheat的动作在admitted的时候已完成;B,D意思不合适题意.vt.允许；确认vi.承认；允许 ‎41、A女孩儿咯咯的笑声吸引了作者的注意，作者认为记笔记没有那么可笑，就向“冒犯者”要“笔记”。上文的“note taking”是线索提示。‎ ‎42、A她拒绝把笔记交给作者，作者在等待，教室中所有的目光都转向了这场师生之间的沉默的“战争”，此处是比喻用法。‎ ‎43、D上文提到作者向她要笔记，所以此处是她把笔记“交”给了作者。‎ ‎44、C 根据上一段最后一句中的内容可知笔记本上面是学生手画的作者的“画像”。下文41空后面的“for drawing the picture”也是线索提示。‎ ‎45、B 作者努力平静地把学生给作者画的画像折叠起来，“但是”内心却感到气愤。前后内容表示转折，故用however。‎ ‎46、B 根据上一段中描述的画像的内容可知这是对作者的侮辱，所以作者看过之后努力不“哭”出来。下文的“I sniffed in the back of the classroom”是线索提示。‎ ‎47、A 作者认为这么做太过分，教训她们一顿会对她们有些“好处”。do sb good表示“对某人有好处”‎ ‎48、B 上一段的后半部分提到作者打算教训她们一顿，所以此处表示作者最终能够“控制”自己。‎ ‎49、D 根据下一段中的“I’m sorry you were hurt.”可知这张画像深深地“伤害”了作者。A项表示“有意义的”，B项表示“健忘的”，C项表示“懊悔的”均不符合语境。‎ ‎50、D 作者告诉他们画像“背后”肯定有原因。下文49空所在句揭示了画像背后的原因。‎ ‎51、C 上一段的倒数第二句提到作者让学生写下需要对作者说的任何事情，所以此处是“阅读”学生写的内容。另外，下一段是开关部分也是线索提示。‎ ‎52、C 有些学生写道：我没有不喜欢你。have sth against sb表示“不喜欢/不赞成某人”‎ ‎53、A 此处与41空后面的“I figured...”相呼应，表示作者“认为”她们是画像背后的“真凶”。figure表示“认为，认定（某事将发生或属实）”。‎ ‎54、B 根据本空后面的内容可知她们认为作者过于严厉，非常“刻薄”。A项表示“健谈的”，C项表示“笨拙的”。D项表示“体贴的”，都不符合语境。‎ ‎55、B 作者意识到今年以来，没有“鼓励”学生，而是采用了命令的方式。‎ ‎56、D 根据下一句中的success可知作者开始采用命令的方式迫使学生“完成”。前三项分别表示“欣赏；感激”“道歉”“妥协”均不符合语境。‎ ‎57、A 作者原以为这样会让他们成功，而“实际上”是让他们离成功越来越远。B项表示“正常地”，C项表示“立刻”，D项表示“普遍地”均不符合语境。‎ ‎58、C 在有全部男生“签名”的那张卡片上他们表达了为这次令人不愉快的玩笑的真诚的后悔。‎ ‎59、B 根据下一段第二句中的“Forgiveness does…”可知女生们请求作者的“原谅”。A项表示“感激”，C项表示“补偿”，D项表示“交流”，都不符合语境。‎ ‎60、D 此处与本句中的the past相对，故选D项，表示“将来”。‎ A 61. B ‎ 解析：根据文中第二段The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. 他想制作一个关于动物是如何被对待的电影。他的目的是为了让人们关注那些为送上人们餐桌而被饲养的动物的生活条件。‎ 62. D 解析：根据后面的however可知是对前一句的转折，前一句意思是：你只需要坐着等你的食物就可以得到$2,500，很简单但是....对应选项选D表示一种有一定的困难。‎ ‎63.C 解析：根据倒数第二段可知：按计划，他们将一起在鸡笼里（体积单位略）渡过7天。摄像机会拍下他们的经历，并且这段录像会在博物馆展出。这一周很难熬。他们睡在硬木板上。他们一站起来就会碰到脑袋（笼子太小了）。他们吃鸡饲料，喝生水。他们唯一的隐私（不会拍他们去厕所的情况）就是一个那布帘围起来的厕所。没有水池镜子和牙刷，唯一激励他们坚持下去的就是被裱起来挂在笼子外面的两张支票。来参观的人都会被提醒“不要喂食人类”（讽刺）。‎ 64. C 解析：理解文章的主旨，得到钱的办法是呆在鸡笼里一周，像只真正的鸡一样生活。A项错误，获得钱的方式并不容易，B项错误，D项也表述错误 B ‎65.B 解析：根据第一段中This is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give?
