Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually zxxkwhen parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket. The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions. Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled. 1. A. natural B. strong C. guilty D. similar 2. A. interest B. argument C. link D. knowledge 3.

He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical zxxk pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him. Amazed that he remembered this long and zxxkdifficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music. Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel. Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a zxxkspecial event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.” However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word. Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his zxxkstudies. 26. What is special about Samuel Osmond? A. He has a gift for writing music. B. He can write down the note he hears. C. He is a top student at the law school. D. He can play the musical piece he hears. 27. What can we learn form the passage? A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents. B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician. C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability. D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers. 28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________. A. received a good early education in music B. played the guitar and the piano perfectly C. could play the piano without reading music D. could play the guitar better than his father 29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4? A. He became famous during a special event at his college. B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately. C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists. D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces. 30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The Qualities of a Musician B. The Story of a Musical Talent C. The Importance of Early Education D. The Relationship between Memory and Music. B It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收 费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.” It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne zxxkHerbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.” The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! 31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her? A. She knew the car drivers well. B. She wanted to show kindness. C. She hoped to please others. D. She had seven tickets. 32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she. A. thought it was beautifully written B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom 33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage? A. Judy Foreman. B. Natalie Smith. C. Alice Johnson. D. Anne Herbert. 34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above? A. Kindness and violence can change the world. B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior. C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves. D. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People should practice random kindness to those in need. B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others. C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet. D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver. C Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the zxxk Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get zxxkanywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 36. What do we know about the author? A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. He felt honored to study English literature. 37. According to the Project Lighthouse, it is likely that the author A. Discussed his decision with his family. B. Asked previous volunteers about voluntary work C. Attended special training to perform difficult tasks D. Felt sad about having to leave his family and friends 38. In his application for the volunteer job, the author A. Participated in many discussions B. Went through challenging survival tests C. Wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work D. Faced strong competition from other candidates 39. On arrival at the village, the author was A. Asked to lead a farming team B. Sent to teach in schoolhouse C. Received warmly by local villagers D. Arranged to live in a separate house. 40. What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria? A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture B. He had learned to communicate in the local language. C. He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home. D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. D Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear. Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents. The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜 寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings zxxkof their study. As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves. 41. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________. A. fitting rooms B. trading fairs C. business talks D. group meetings 42. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________. A. what caused the shipping accident B. when and where the shoes went missing C. whether it was all right to use their shoes D. how much they lost in the shipping accident 第二节 信息匹配（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息，请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选 项字母涂黑。 首先请阅读某大学提供给学生的项目信息： A． B.

Some major restaurants have already changed the way they cook as a result of the research.The findings should also help experts to develop better filtering technologies to make healthier choices in the kitchen. People have been cooking food for more than 100,000 years.Chimneys and windows have already been around since the Dark Ages.Yet ， it wasn't until the mid1990s that scientists started studying the components of cooking smoke and how that smoke might increase air pollution. The first study on cooking smoke，carried out about 20 years ago，found that the most and the dirtiest cooking smoke came from hot hamburgers under high heat.Other foods followed far behind，including cooked French fries or baked pizza.In the new study，Kuehn and his colleagues used a new kind of equipment to examine more exactly the cooking smoke that comes out of a large variety of foods being cooked.They found that the dirtiest smoke by far came from fried chicken being cooked with peanut oil.Hot hamburgers came next. So far，people have kept_a_watchful_eye_on the harm of breathing in cooking smoke in the world.Many researches on this subject have been carried out in many countries.As with cigarette smoke，though，the worry is that cooking smoke could get deep into our lungs ， where it might cause cancer or other problems.One study in China，also more than 10 years ago，found the highest rates of lung cancer in women， even though men smoked the most cigarettes.Women did more of the cooking there， and the researchers drew a conclusion that the cooking smoke explained that. 26．What's the main idea of this passage? A．Eating fat foods can be bad for your health. B．Cooking smoke from fat foods can be harmful. C．A lot of food can be harmful to people. D．Better cooking ways are needed in kitchens. 【解析】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是高脂肪食物的油烟会对人们的健 康造成危害，故可知答案。 【答案】 B 27．According to the passage，we can know that ________. A．people don't get cooking smoke out of the kitchen in the Dark Ages B．experts have developed the best filtering technologies for kitchens C．the components of cooking smoke were not studied until about 1995 D．all restaurants have changed their cooking ways in case of air pollution 【解析】 推理判断题。由第三段“Yet，it wasn't until the mid1990s that scientists started studying the components of cooking smoke and how that smoke might increase air pollution.”可知，直到 90 年代中期科学家才开始研究油烟的成 分。 【答案】 C 28．According to Kuehn，the dirtiest cooking smoke comes from ________. A．fried chicken B．hot hamburgers C．French fries D．baked pizza 【解析】 细节理解题。由第四段“They found that the dirtiest smoke by far came from fried chicken being cooked with peanut oil.Hot hamburgers came next.” 可知，Kuehn 认为最脏的油烟来自用花生油做的炸鸡。 【答案】 A 29．The underlined phrase “kept a watchful eye on” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by ________. A．looked forward to B．made up for C．paid attention to D．come up with 【解析】 词义猜测题。由画线短语后的句子可知，油烟问题引起了很多关 注，因此很多国家就此展开了调查研究，由此可知，画线短语的意思是“关注、 留心”。 【答案】 C 30 ． What did the researchers think caused the high rates of lung cancer of Chinese women? A．Eating too many fat foods in their daily life. B．Breathing in secondhand cigarette smoke. C．Their habit of smoking cigarettes. D．Breathing in too much cooking smoke. 【解析】 细节理解题。由第五段“Women did more of the cooking there， and the researchers drew a conclusion that the cooking smoke explained that.”可知， 研究人员认为中国妇女在日常做饭的过程中吸入了大量的油烟，这可能是导致她 们患癌几率大的原因。 【答案】 D B Today on our program ，we'll answer a question from Japan.A listener named Maki would like to know if the test known as the TOEIC is popular in the United States.The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication)tests the ability of people to communicate in the workplace using everyday English. The Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton，New Jersey，develops and administers the TOEIC.It says more than nine thousand organizations use the test in more than ninety countries.Each year the TOEIC is taken in the United States about twenty thousand times.So how popular does that make it? Well，consider that last year the test was given more than five million times worldwide. Nonnative English speakers take the test to show their English skills.The cost of the test is set locally in each country.The TOEIC is really two tests.People can take one or both of them.While one is a paperandpencil test which tests listening and reading skills，the other test，is given on a computer，testing speaking and writing skills.Eleven questions on the computer test require speaking.Eight other questions require written answers，including an opinion essay. We visited the ETS Web site for more information about the TOEIC.But one of the first things we saw was a warning against “phishing scams” (钓鱼欺骗) that use emails ， which claim to be from the ETS ， to make people lose personal information or money.Spokeswoman Christine Betaneli advises people to take the TOEIC to be suspicious of any email claiming to be from the ETS.They should be especially suspicious of emails that ask for information that they have already provided for the test. That's the “Education Zone” for today.I'm Bob Doughty.Thank you for listening. 31．The author wrote the passage to ________. A．show people how to take the TOEIC B．advise more people to take the TOEIC C．offer suggestions about taking the TOEIC D．answer Maki's question about the TOEIC 【解析】 作者意图题。由第一段“...we'll answer a question from Japan.A listener named Maki would like to know if the test known as the TOEIC is popular in the United States.The TOEIC...”可知，作者撰写本文的目的就是为了回答 Maki 的问题。 【答案】 D 32．The second paragraph mainly shows us ________. A．who takes the TOEIC B．who holds the TOEIC C．how popular the TOEIC is D．how people pass the TOEIC 【解析】 细节理解题。由第二段“...more than nine thousand organizations use the test in more than ninety countries.Each year the TOEIC is taken in the United States about twenty thousand times...last year the test was given more than five million times worldwide.”不难看出，托业考试很流行。 【答案】 C 33．What information can we get from the passage? A．Most American natives take the TOEIC. B．People can just take the paperandpencil test. C．It costs everyone the same money to take the TOEIC. D．People should email the ETS to take part in the TOEIC. 【解析】 细节理解题。由第三段“Nonnative English speakers take the test to show their English skills”可知，参加托业考试的人一般是母语非英语的人；由第 三段“The TOEIC is really two tests.People can take one or both of them.While one is a paperandpencil test...”可知，托业考试实际上包括两项考试，参加考试的人 可以选择考两项中的任意一项或两项考试都参加；由第三段“The cost of the test is set locally in each country.”可知，各国考试费用不尽相同；而文中并未提及参 加考试是否要发电子邮件。 【答案】 B 34．Which of the following will Christine Betaneli agree with? A．The ETS won't ask people to provide personal information. B．One can't be too careful to deal with the phishing scams. C．People should pay no attention to the phishing scams. D．TOEIC rules should be shown at the ETS website. 【解析】 推理判断题。由第四段最后两句可知，Christine Betaneli 建议参 加考试的人对任何电子邮件都应该持怀疑态度，尤其是对待声称来自美国教育学 习服务社(ETS)的邮件。故可推知，她认为，对待钓鱼欺骗，多谨慎都不过分。 【答案】 B 35．The passage may be from ________. A．a radio program B．a TV play C．an education magazine D．an English textbook 【解析】 推理判断题。由第一段“Today on our program”和最后一段 “That's the ‘Education Zone’ for today.I'm Bob Doughty.Thank you for listening.”可推知，本文应该是一个电台英语节目《Education Zone》的文稿。 【答案】 A C At the age of six months babies can sit up.According to psychologists，they have already developed a moral sense and can tell the difference between good and evil.A series of experiments is challenging the traditional views of many psychologists and social scientists that babies are born without a moral sense and that our morality is shaped by our parents and experiences.Instead，they suggest that the moral sense may be in the brain at birth. Professor Paul Bloom，a psychologist at Yale University，said：“A growing body of evidence suggests that humans do have a moral sense from the very start of life.With the help of well designed experiments，you can see moral judgment and moral feeling even in the first year of life.”For one study，Professor Paul Bloom got babies aged between six months and a year to watch a puppet show in which a simple，colorful wooden shape with eyes tries to climb a hill.Sometimes the shape is helped up the hill by a second toy ， while other times a third character pushes it down.In another experiment，the researchers invented a ‘oneact morality play’， in which a toy dog tries to open a box.The dog is joined by a teddy bear who helps him lift the lid，and another teddy bear who sits on the box.After watching these shows several times ， the babies showed a strong preference to helpful good characters—the one who helped to climb the hill and the one who helped to open the box—and refused unhelpful bad ones.Some babies even gave their own punishment with a hit on the bad puppet's head. Although the studies appear to show that morality is hardwired into babies' brains，some psychologists urged caution.Dr Nadja Reissland said “The babies might just prefer to see things go up rather than down.In the second test，perhaps the bear closes the box to prevent the dog from getting in there because there is something dangerous inside.It is like a mother keeping children out of an area where there is something harmful.” 36．According to the experiments，at the age of six months babies ________. A．can sit up by themselves and speak B．have a sense of good and evil C．prefer beautiful toys to ugly ones D．know how to punish the bad guys 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，一系列的实验表明六个月大 的孩子就拥有了是非感。 【答案】 B 37．The traditional opinion about babies and moral senses is that ________. A．the moral sense is in the brain at birth B．experiments can improve babies' morality C．babies' morality is influenced by parents D．the moral sense is important to babies 【解析 】 细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 第 一 段 中 的 “A series of experiments is challenging the traditional views of many psychologists and social scientists that babies are born without a moral sense and that our morality is shaped by our parents and experiences.”可知，传统的观点认为，孩子的是非感是受父母和生活经历的 影响而后天形成的。 【答案】 C 38．How did Professor Paul Bloom come to his conclusion? A．By designing experiments to test this idea. B．By watching how the babies hit their toys. C．By asking the parents of these babies some questions. D．By carrying out all the necessary tests to check the view. 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With the help of well designed experiments，you can see moral judgment and moral feeling even in the first year of life.”可知，研究人员通过设计实验来证明这种观点，从而得出结论。 【答案】 A 39 ． The researchers let another bear sit on the box so that they could find ________. A．how the dog opened the box B．if the babies would offer their help C．whether the bear would leave of itself D．whether the babies would show their hate 【解析】 推理判断题。从实验后的发现可知，看过几次玩偶的表演以后， 小孩子对乐于助人的玩偶表现出强烈的喜爱，而对做坏事的玩偶非常排斥，甚至 会击打他们的头。研究人员设计善良的和淘气的两种性格的玩偶角色就是为了试 探小孩子对于是非好坏的判断，以及对于善恶的态度。 【答案】 D 40．What Dr Nadja Reissland said means ________. A．it's not completely right to say babies are born with a moral sense B．what the babies did clearly showed that they could make a moral judgment. C．the babies didn't like the bear just because their mothers didn't like it，either D．the babies knew that helping someone up the hill is better than pushing him down 【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Dr Nadja Reissland 所说的话可知， 孩子们的想法并不一定与研究人员的想法一致，所以不能肯定孩子出生的时候就 有是非感。 【答案】 A D Happy? Angry? Anxious？How can we measure animals' emotions? A new study of animals' emotions suggests that，as in humans，emotions can tell animals about how dangerous their world is，and guide the choices that they make.The article of the study by Bristol University's Professor Mike Mendl is published online. An animal living in an environment where it is often threatened by predators will develop a negative emotion or “mood” ， such as anxiety.However ， one in an environment with plenty of opportunities to get resources for survival will be in a more positive mood state. The researchers say that these emotional states not only show the animal's experiences，they also help it decide how to make choices ，especially in unclear situations，which could have good or bad results.An animal in a negative mood state will make a safetyfirst，“pessimistic” response to an unclear event—for example， it considers a noise in the grass as a signal of a predator—while an animal in a positive mood state will benefit from a more “optimistic” response，considering the noise as a signal of prey. Professor Mike Mendl，Head of the Animal Welfare and Behavior research group at Bristol University's School of Clinical Veterinary Science，said “Because we can measure animals' choices objectively，we can use ‘optimistic’ and ‘pessimistic’ decisionmaking as a symbol of the animal's emotional state which itself is much more difficult to assess.Recent studies by our group and others suggest that this is a meritorious new approach to a variety of animal species.” “Public interest in animal welfare remains high，with widespread meanings for the way in which animals are treated，used and included in society.To understand how animals experience the world and how they should be treated ， we need to better understand their emotional lives.” Mike Mendl said.The researchers believe Professor Mike Mendl's study can help them to better understand and assess an animal's emotions. 41．What is the BEST title for the passage? A．The Living Environment of Wild Animals. B．The Best Way to Measure animals' emotions. C．Emotions Help Animals to Make Choices. D．Different kinds of animals' emotions. 【解析】 文章标题题。由文章内容特别是第一段中文章的主题句“A new study of animals' emotions suggests that，as in humans，emotions can tell animals about how dangerous their world is，and guide the choices that they make.”可知， 本文讲的是情感可以帮助动物作选择，故可知答案。 【答案】 C 42．When an animal is in a negative mood state，________. A．its response to an unclear event is pessimistic B．it will pay little attention to an unclear event C．it is easy for it to make right decisions D．it has more opportunities to get food 【解析】 细节理解题。由第三段“An animal in a negative mood state will make a safetyfirst，‘pessimistic’ response to an unclear event”可知答案。 【答案】 A 43．The underlined word “meritorious” in Paragraph 4 has the same meaning as ________. A．valuable B．useless C．unbelievable D．unexpected 【解析】 词义猜测题。由画线词前的“Because we can measure animals' choices objectively，we can use ‘optimistic’ and ‘pessimistic’ decisionmaking as a symbol of the animal's emotional state which itself is much more difficult to assess”可知，我们可以利用动物“乐观的”和“悲观的”决定来判定它们所处 的情感状态，再结合画线词后的“new approach to a variety of animal species”可 知，画线词的意思是“有价值的”。 【答案】 A 44．We can infer from the passage that ________. A．few people care about animal welfare nowadays B．the environment can influence animals' emotions C．the animals with positive emotions live longer D．there is no way to assess an animal's emotions 【解析】 推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，处于经常被捕食者威胁的环境 下的动物会产生消极情绪，而处于有更多生存机会环境下的动物会产生积极情 绪，由此可以推知，环境可以影响动物的情绪。 【答案】 B 45．Professor Mike Mendl advises people to better understand animals' emotions in order to ________. A．tell people to build more protected areas for animals B．explain animals have the same emotions as people C．find better ways to prevent animals from being killed D．make people know how to treat animals properly 【解析】 细节理解题。由第五段“To understand how animals experience the world and how they should be treated，we need to better understand their emotional lives.”可知答案。 【答案】 D 第二节 信息匹配(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 请阅读下列应用文及其相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。 请阅读下列不同类型汽车的信息： A ． Toyota Electron2006 (new): Toyota's new car is both powerful and economical.Using a combination of fuel and electricity this car will not only save money on petrol bills，but it will also save the environment.Has air conditioner and leather seats.Price：D|S17,500 B．BMW Series 72006 (new): Judged the Car of Year by Wheels Magazine this is the best highclass car on the market.It is big enough for 5 people but is smooth and fast.Has all the latest safety equipment and computer mapping system.Price ： D|S84,900 C．Porsche 9112006 (new): This newest Porsche is packed with the latest safety equipment and engine technology.It can hold 2 people and the roof can come down automatically for you to enjoy the fresh air.Has DVD entertainment system and computer mapping system.Price：D|S72,000 D．Chrysler Minibus2005(secondhand): With its unique seating design，this vehicle can hold up to 14 people.Silver outside with black leather inside and in excellent condition.Has 2 automatic sliding doors plus DVD entertainment system.Price：D|S19,200 E．Ford Fairlane1998(secondhand): With a traditional Ford design，this car is dark bule and is an ideal second car for the family.Mechanically in good condition.Has air conditioner and CD player.Price：D|S6,900 F．Honda Civic1996(secondhand): This small，white，twodoor car is easy to park and cheap to run.Inside and outside both in excellent condition.It uses very little fuel and is the perfect car for city driving.Has CD player.Price：D|S2,500 请阅读下列购车者的信息，然后匹配购车者与拟购买的汽车。 46 ． Robert Anderson.Robert has just been appointed the manager of a large international company.He wants to get a car that will impress his business colleagues yet is also suitable for transporting his wife and three children. 47 ． Julie Sunderland.Julie has recently moved into the city where she is studying.She needs a car that is cheap to buy and run so she can get to university and to her parttime job. 48．Bill Woodwar.Bill is the coach of the local football team and needs a car that can take the players and equipment to and from their games. 49．Mary Alderson.Mary's rich dad promised he would buy her a new car for graduating from university.She wants something that is safe，that will allow her to enjoy listening to music and show off to her friends. 50．Kate Power.Kate needs to get a car to travel to her new job.But she feels guilty about the pollution she will cause so she wants a car that will do the least amount of harm to the environment. 46．________ 47.________ 48.________ 49．________ 50.________ 【答案】 46－50 B F D C A Ⅲ.写作(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节 基础写作(共 1 小题；满分 15 分) 学校英语论坛针对目前城市交通拥堵、污染严重的问题进行了“治堵方案大 家谈”的讨论。以下是讨论概要。 【写作内容】 请根据以上概要写一篇短文，包括以下内容： 1．存在的问题；2.解决的方案；3.方案的好处。 【写作要求】 只能用 5 个句子表达所给的全部内容。 【评分标准】 句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章结构连贯。 _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Nowadays ， the problem of traffic jams in cities is as serious as that of air pollution.It is suggested that solutions to these problems include a reduction in the use of private cars and an increase in the practice of carpooling，where one car is shared by several workmates or friends.In addition，the government could improve the public transport system in order to make it more convenient for people.The government should also encourage cycling by building more green lanes.This will help save money，time and energy as well as improve the environment. 第二节 读写任务(共 1 小题；满分 25 分) 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。 “We are reading the first verse of the first chapter，of a book whose pages are infinite.” I do not know who wrote those words ， but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take the mysterious，unclear future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine，just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone. We are all in the position of the farmer.If we plant a good seed，we collect a good harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds，we collect a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all，we harvest nothing at all. I want the future to be better than the past.I don't want it spoiled by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and always in moderation（节制）.As for myself,1 wasn't interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends. So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in common-alcohol, and plenty of .it wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didn't matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out（喝 醉）． It seemed shallow to me. I wanted to get to know my new coursemates, not how fast they. could down a pint of beer. Gradually, however, I realized that real friends don't judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend l went cycling with a coursemate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group ,I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage. Another valuable lesson I learned is that it's perfectly okay to say "No" if you don't want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking（狂喝）has become the norm. Many people who drink don't necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure(同伴压力)-they're afraid to say "No". 21. What shocked the author when he entered university? A. The strange campus. B. The popularity of alcohol. C. The drunken coursemates. D. The limited activities. 22. Why did the author return home early from the events at first? A. He wasn't good at drinking. B. He had no familiar coursemates. C. He hated the way people got along. D. He was left out by the organizers. 23. How did the author finally make real friends at university? A. By saying "No" to alcoholic drinks. B. By staying away from group activities. C. By giving in to the peer pressure. D. By joining people with common interests.

But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot. Xiaoice, Microsoft's latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned[来源:学科网 ZXXK] to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice. "Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice," Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis（表情符 号） m conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported. Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM's latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia's Deakin University, answering students' questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users. These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a "Samantha", the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates. 28. What does the underlined part in paragraph two mean? A. She became a best seller. B. She became very powerful. C. She became a money maker. D. She became very popular. 29. Which of the following can Xiaoice do? A. Do housework. B. Spread messages. C. Identify various photos. D. Read news to its users. 30. Which company's chatbot program can act as an academic consultant? A. Microsoft. B. IBM. C. Apple. D. Amazon. 31. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Chatbots mainly run on smartphones now. B. It'll take decades to apply chatbots to cars. C. Samantha is played by a US actor in the film. D. The film Her doesn't interest many audience. D If you watch British television on March 15, you might be surprised to see celebrities（名 人） wearing funny red noses and joking; around. But don't worry. They're not mad. It's all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day. Founded in 1985 by two British comedians, the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa. Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows. For example, UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event. Britons don't just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year, but they do it all year round. One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops. These small shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop except that it's all secondhand. There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they don't want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced. The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause. The idea of buying used clothes may sou nd unpleasant, but for shoppers who have less spending money, it has been a welcome option. Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion. "You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price. It doesn't bother me that other people may have worn them. I simply wash them before I wear them." said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old from the US. So next time you spot a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause. 32. Why did Cameron appear in One Direction's music video? A. To earn a living. B. To support the band. C. To help raising money. D. To entertain the audience. 33. Where are the goods of charity shops from? A. Local bands. B. People's donation. C. British comedians. D. The UK government. 34. What's Anne Marie's attitude to charity shops? A. Favorable. B. Particular. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Red Nose Day. B. British celebrities. C. Charity in Britain. D. Secondhand shops. 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人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Everyone can benefit from making an effort to practice gratitude（感激）every day.

And then start a gratitude journal. Making a commitment to writing down good things each day makes it more likely that we will notice good things as they happen. Enjoy the Feeling of Gratitude There are moments when you naturally, right then and there, feel filled with gratitude. These are moments when you say to yourself, "Oh, wow, this is amazing! "or "How great is this!"Pause.____37 Let it sink in. Enjoy your blessings in the moment they happen. Express Gratitude Expressing gratitude is more than being polite. 38_ ___Show your appreciation to someone who really did something nice. Say: "It was really kind of you to…,” "You did me a big favor when...," or "Thank you for being there when...". 39 Hold the door open for the person behind you, even if it means waiting a little longer than you normally would. True gratitude doesn't leave you feeling like you owe other people something-after all, if you've done someone a favor, you probably don't want the person to feel like you expect something back in return. 40 A. It's about showing your heartfelt appreciation. B. Notice and absorb that feeling of true gratitude. C. You can also express gratitude by doing a kindness. D. It's all about feeling good and creating a cycle of good. E. Start to notice and identify the things you are grateful for. F. Help someone without letting the person find out it was you. G.

W: Well, it’s not very cold. I don’t think you need gloves. Just bring an umbrella. Look, how cloudy it is. It’s going to rain. (Text 2)[来源:Zxxk.Com] M: There is a lecture on French history in the hall this evening. I think you’ll be interested. W: Great! I’ve been looking forward to one like that. M: Don’t forget to go there early, or there won’t be any seats left. (Text 3) W: Fasten your seat belt, please, sir. M: Thank you. But I didn’t realize we were going to land soon. (Text 4) W: Don’t forget we’re meeting tomorrow morning outside the railway station at eleven. M: But I’m going out with Simon tonight. We’re staying in a nightclub till one a.m. I can’t meet you until the afternoon. Two o’clock is better. W: OK. (Text 5) W: I want some hand washing liquid. The chemist’s is at the other end of the shopping centre. So let’s go and look for your swimming suit first. M: Oh, yes. There’s a really nice one in the sports shop over there. W: OK. And remind me to buy something to read. The bookshop is next to the chemist’s. (Text 6) W: Hi, Mark. How’re you? M: Great, Cindy. What’s new? Would you like to come in for coffee? W: I’d love to, but to tell you the truth, I’m right in the middle of making Rachel’s birthday cake, and I’m out of eggs. Do you think I could borrow a couple? M: Oh, sure. No problem. How many do you need? W: Just two. M: Wait a minute. I’ll get them. (Text 7) W: Have you got any other questions? M: Yes. The speech should be for 20 minutes, is that right? W: Yes, but 20 minutes in total, including 5 minutes for questions. So you’ll only talk for 15 minutes. M: I won’t be able to say much in that time at all. W: That’s why you have to plan what you’re going to say carefully and make sure you only include the most important information. For instance, you won’t have time to give examples. But you could give some images that show examples, without spending time talking about them. M: That’s a good idea. And the audience can look at them while I talk. Thanks a lot for your help. (Text 8) M: Excuse me, Lily. Could you help me? You know we’ve got an essay to write about eating customs across the world? W: Yeah. We have to borrow some books, don’t we? M: Yes, but I missed the library training. Could you tell me something about the library? W: Sure, no problem. Let me tell you about the different parts of the library first. Here, you can see the main door in the north that leads into the hall. In the middle of the building, there is a big open PC zone. The stairs are on the left as you go in, and on the other side of the building there’s the library café. It’s a good place to study with friends. M: I really prefer to study alone. W: Oh, if you like studying in a quiet place, it’s better to go upstairs, to the silent zone. It’s just on the second floor. M: OK, thanks. (Text 9) M: Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here? W: Of course not, go ahead. M: Thanks. I’m on my way to Washington, and you? W: To San Francisco. M: Really? I think San Francisco is probably the most exciting place in the US. W: So do I. No other city has as many good restaurants or as much good music. M: Is San Francisco your hometown? W: No, I’m from a very small town in Pennsylvania. I don’t want to live there any longer. I don’t like small town life very much. M: En, neither do I really. But small towns have their advantages, like less traffic and so on. W: And friendly people. You know I’m beginning to feel homesick. By the way, where are you from? M: China. W: China? But you speak English just like a native speaker. I didn’t have any idea. (Text 10) M: Hi, Polly, this is James. I was just ringing to check that you’re still OK to come camping with me at the weekend and tell you what I’ve planned. My parents thought it was probably better not to go too far away because the weather hasn’t been very good this week and if it rains all the time we might want to come home! They sugge sted we go to the campsite just outside Guilsfield. That’s a village not far away. We can catch a bus to the village, and then we’ll walk from the bus stop to the campsite. It’s on a farm. I stayed there once, about five years ago, with my parents and we had a car then of course, but we’ll be OK. I’ve talked to my parents about what we need to take. Well, you’ve got a tent which doesn’t weigh too much, so can you bring that? There’s no need to bring food because we can eat at the farmhouse, but we need something for boiling water for drinks. I can bring something to cook on. And I’ll bring coffee and milk. We must get the tent up before dark on Friday, which is about eight. So we must meet at the bus stop at a quarter to four to catch the four o’clock bus. We’ll be there by five, then. I’m so excited! Call me back soon, bye.
