One shop was selling pieces of metal, another sold 40 , and thin wires were for sale in the third. Nothing and no one there seemed to 41 much to do with the revelation of truth.Depressed and 42 , the seeker returned to the well to demand an 43 , but he was told only: “You will discover in the future.” With years 44 by, the memory of his experience at the well gradually 45 until one night.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A A victim of climate change A polar bear's dead body found on the Arctic island of Svalbard, the northernmost part of Norway, has shocked experts who say climate change may be to blame for the death. The starved polar bear in Norway was said to be in good bones by the time a group of explorers came across its body in July.The bear is thought to have been heading north in a desperate search for sea ice that would allow it to hunt for seals."From his lying position in death, the bear appears to simply have starved to health in April when the Norwegian Polar Institute examined and labeled it. However, the animal was reduced to skin and bones and died where he dropped," polar bear expert Dr. Ian Stirling, a professor at the University of Alberta said, "He had external suggestion of any remaining fat, having been reduced to little more than skin and bone."Stirling believes the bear starved to death as a result of a lack of sea ice which the animals use as a platform for hunting seals. That may also explain why the 16-year-old male bear was found about 155 miles north of where it was seen in April.Arctic sea ice reached a record low in 2012, according to a report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that pointed to continued signs of climate change.The International Union for Conservation of Nature currently classifies polar bears as vulnerable on its Red List of Threatened Species.56. How did Stirling know the reason for the death of the polar bear? A.By the food he ate. B.By doing further experiments. C.By observing other polar bears. D.By his lying position in death.57. The underlined word "vulnerable" probably means _____. A.easily hurt B.difficult to hunt C.dangerous D.amazing58. What is the author's attitude to the incident? A.Favorable. B.Uncaring. C.Doubtful. D.Concerned.59. Where does this text probably come from? A.A novel. B. A guidebook. C.A news report. D.An advertisement.

CHong Kong is one of the most densely populated (人口密集的)cities in the world, but with night skies around 1,000 times brighter than globally accepted levels, it gains a bad reputation for its light pollution.A study by Hong Kong University found that brightness levels in the southern Chinese city's popular shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui were 1,200 times greater than the international dark sky standard.The crowded city of 7 million residents(居民), full or residential high-rises, towering office blocks and neon(霓虹灯) advertisements, has no laws to control outdoor lightning.The result is that light pollution is thought to be much worse than in other large cities, including London, Sydney, Tokyo and Shanghai.“In Hong Kong , you can’t go anywhere outdoor in the evening without your eyes being blinded by this really disturbing outdoor lightning,” the light pollution survey’s head Jason Pum told AFP.“The fact that we have all this light in the sky means energy is wasted,” he said, adding that too much artificial lightning also affects nightly wildlife.Research has suggested that light pollution can cause a number of harmful health effects in humans, including sleeplessness and headaches and can also interrupt body clocks and hormones(荷尔蒙).The university survey, the result of five million measurements taken from points across the city, was released just days before the start of the annual Earth Hour event, organized by the World Wildlife Fund.People around the world will be encouraged to turn off the lights for an hour on Saturday night to raise awareness of climate change. Last year, a number of Hong Kong’s major buildings along Victoria Harbour went dark to mark Earth Hour.“Anyway, we should do our best to reduce the amount of lightning and adjust it for the benefit of the environment.”63. If you walk out at night in Hong Kong, you can see all those things except ______.A. neon advertisements B. residential buildings C. a dark sky with twinkling stars D. high office blocks 64.which of the following statements about too much lightning is NOT true?A. Too much lightning means a waste of energy.B. It can make the sky and the city more beautiful.C. It may have a bad effect on nightly wildlife.D. It can lead to some health problems.65.We can know from the passage that__________A. light pollution in Hong Kong is among world’s worst.B. light pollution is the biggest problem in Hong Kong.C. Earth Hour is simply organized to reduce pollution.D. light pollution is the primary causes of sleeplessness.66.what will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?A. Bad effects of light pollution B. Causes of light pollutionC. Worries about light pollution D. Ways to reduce light pollutionD There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的) result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts (路标)or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles(阻碍). In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential(基本的) to our ability to grow. These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal(内部的) fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease(停止) to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.67.A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when______.. A.he has given up his smoking habit B.he has made great efforts in his work C.he is interested in making anything new D.he has tried to determine where he is on his journey68.In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would______. A.judge his ability to grow from his own achievements B.succeed in climbing up the social ladder C.face difficulties and take up challenges D.aim high and reach his goal each time69.When the author says “a new way of being” (para. 3), he is referring to _____. A.a new way of taking risks B.a new approach to experiencing the world C.a new system of adapting to change D.a new method of finding ourselves70.For personal growth, the author may not support __________. . A.curiosity and more chances B.being quick in self – adaptation C.open – minded to new experiences D.avoidance of internal fears and doubts E What do you want to be when you grow up?“When I grow up, I want to be...”Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向) may have changed from when you were in primary school.However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of the most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website monster. Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17. Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility. It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家),waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.71. What is the passage mainly about?A. Choosing a good job is very important. B. The choice of career needs challenge.C. Teenagers in the UK like doctors. D. Careers in teenagers’ mind.72. What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?A. Medicine B. Law C. Bank D. Education73. According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor except_______.A. respect from others B. the oldest profession C. high pay D. upward social mobility.74. What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?A. Prestige B. Fulfillment C. Happiness D. Wealth75. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career.B. Specific education and training can help get a good job. C. Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills. D. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
第II卷第四部分 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出填入欠当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。There is a kind of shopping that is called compulsive(强迫性的) shopping. Compulsive shopping is usually described as out of control and not reasonable.How can we know whether we are one of compulsive shoppers? Compulsive shoppers go out and buy things much more often than other people do.They often buy things they do not need.Many times they will spend over their budget limits and get into deep financial trouble.While someone else will think many times if they can afford this or that thing,compulsive shoppers will have no awareness of the boundaries of a budget.They also often hide the things they have bought in order not to be blamed by other family members.They often refuse to admit their problem and cover up their debts with cheat.Compulsive shopping usually occurs when a person feels sad,lonely or angry. Shopping will not guarantee more love,or cure the hurts,regrets,stress,and the problems of everyday life. Just the opposite, it eventually may make these feelings worse because of the increased financial problems the person has got from this addiction. Some families even lead to a divorce as compulsive shoppers spend a lot of time away from home.Treating a shopping addiction requires various approaches.The best thing to start with is to recognize the problem by compulsive shoppers themselves. First of all,don’t use their credit cards,and instead, start paying by cash. It might be useful to make a shopping list in order to buy strictly what is needed.And if there is a chance to get attracted, it might help to have just some small money and leave the wallet at home.It is also good to ask family and friends for support.And if after all these people still feel out of control,then it is recommended to seek professional advice or a selfhelp group to deal with this problem.

As for me, I want dream, friendship and an admission notice to a famous university most. Dreams would be on the top of my list. Only by pursuing our dreams can we enjoy a meaningful and fulfilled life. Money can buy a comfortable life , but without dreams, even a millionaire would find his life boring.A person without friends can never be happy. Our life is full of joys and sorrows, which we need people to share with. Faced with difficulties, we need friends to give us comfort and help. Just as a saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friendship ca help us through ups and downs of life, so friendship would be in my list as well.
