I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species,tens of thousands of plants,and some 2 000 birds and mammals. To date,at least 40 000 plant species, 3 000 fish, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians,and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region. One in five of all the birds in the world live in the rain forests of the Amazon.
The warm wet forests have been in existence for 55 million years,and thrived even during glacial periods,allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species. Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳年代测定)has revealed trees of 10 centimeter diameter to be more than 300 years old,and some trees over 1 000 years old,indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.
The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11, 200 years ago. European explorers arrived in the 16th century,bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves,killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民).By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
The Amazon rainforest has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. But due to deforestation(采伐森林),rain forests now cover less than 5% of the Earth's land surface,and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change. Severe deforestation began in the 20th century,with 587 000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture. The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation,and at the present rate,scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.
28.Why are the figures mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To prove the forest untouched.
B. To classify species scientifically.
C. To show the diversity of species.
D. To attract more attention to Amazon.
29.Why did most indigenous inhabitants in the Amazon region die?
A. European explorers brought diseases there.
B. Portuguese explorers treated them badly.
C. A lot of trees were cut down and burned.
D. They got killed by Spanish explorers.
30.What can be inferred about the Amazon rainforest?
A.It is becoming larger in area.
B.It is being endangered now.
C.It has the largest number of species.
D.It covers over 5% of South America.
31.What may be included in the following paragraph?
A. Examples of destroying forests.
B. Measures to protect rain forests.
C. New settlements in Amazon.
D. Ways to stop global warming.
D
Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,
Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.
The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.
However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.
The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.
Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.
32.What give durian its unique smell?
A. Onions nearby.
B. Two gene copies.
C. Rotten ingredients in it.
D. Volatile sulfur compounds.
33.What does the underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Escaped. B. Developed
C. Predicted. D. Tolerated.
34.What can we infer from the text?
A. No birds enjoy eating durian.
B. Durian can be planted all over the world.
C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.
D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.
35.What’s the best title for the text?
A. What’s Durian?
B. The Influence of the Smell
C. The Distribution of Durian
D. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian
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。
They Just Can't Help It
My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability to understand other people — and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. __31__ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.
You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. __32__ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. __33__ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. __34__ Men tend to
focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.
Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. __35__ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.
A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.
B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.
C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.
D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.
E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.
F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.
G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.

Dear Peter,
I am very glad to know that you are interested in bamboo. Now, I would like to introduce it to you.
Bamboo is a kind of plant, which is hollow inside. It usually grows straight and thin, sometimes up to several meters with green leaves on it. Its tender young roots can
be used as a kind of delicious food. People often use bamboo to build houses or make desks, chairs and so on. Houses made of bamboo can be seen in some areas. Besides, bamboo can serve as food utensils, such as bamboo chopsticks.
Bamboo is very popular in our country. Because of its characteristics, it is often seen as a symbol of youth, modesty and nobleness.
Hoping my introduction can help you have a knowledge of bamboo. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

语法填空
61.that/ which 62.means 63.particular 64.and 65.are raised
66.situations 67.cleverest/most clever 68.to live 69.themselves 70.is
【解析】本文主要讲了人类是最聪明的动物,并且他们具有创造性。
61.考查定语从句。这里含有一个定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以填that/which。
62.考查主谓一致。在一般现在时中,主语Culture是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词也要用单数形式,填means。
63.考查形容词。修饰名词group,用形容词形式,所以填particular。
64.考查连词。连接两个并列的主语,用and.
65.考查时态。You与raise之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,填are raised。
66.考查名词。句意:为了满足各种情况,他们能够决定改变他们的文化。前面有various,可知这里应该使用名词复数,所以填situations。
67.考查最高级。句意:人类是最聪明的。所以这里应该使用最高级形式,填cleverest/most clever。
68.考查固定句型。Choose to do是固定用法,意思是选择做某事,所以填to live。
69.考查代词。表示“帮助他们自己实现这些选择”,应该用反身代词,所以填themselves。
70.考查主谓一致。V+ing作主语,谓语动词用单数,所以填is。
短文改错
第一处:hopelessly→hopeless 第二处:去掉was 第三处:feed→fed
第四处:them→it 第五处:was→were 第六处:deciding→decided
第七处:whom—who 第八处:the→a 第九处:pets→pet
第十处:caring前添加for
【解析】文章主要讲述了作者在路上捡到了一只丢失的小狗并细心照顾,最终被主人领回的故事。
词性用法错误。句中的looking为“看起来”之意,是系动词,后接形容词。句意:我看见一只小狗绝望的在人行道上。故将hopefully改为hopeful。
语态用法错误。句中主语I与动词hope为主谓关系,故用主动语态。句意:我紧紧地把它抱在怀里。故将was去掉。
时态用法错误。根据前面的动词held、took和连词and可知,这里是并列关系,故也用一般过去时。句意:把它带回家并给它喂了些牛奶。故将feed改为fed。
代词用法错误。这里指代上文中的a little dog,故用代词it。句意:可是,我妈妈不愿意养它。故将them改为it。
主谓一致用法错误。这里考查there be句型,谓语动词根据就近原则。这里名词enough pets为复数,故谓语动词用复数形式。句意:说我们已经有足够多的宠物了。故将was改为were。
语态用法错误。句中主语为it,与动词decide之间为被动关系,故用被动语态。句意:我们同意它将由我爸爸决定。故将deciding改为decided。
定语从句关系词用法错误。句中的先行词为my dad,在非限定性定语从句中作主语,故用关系词who。句意:他还没有下班回家。故将whom改为who。
冠词用法错误。句中的名词girl第一次出现,故用不定冠词a。句意:就在这时,一个女孩和她爸爸开车到附近。故将the改为a。
名词数用法错误。根据前文可知这里的pet指代的a little dog,故用单数形式。故将pets改为pet。
动词用法错误。这里考查短语thank sb. for doing sth.感谢某人做某事。句意:他们感谢我照顾小狗。故在caring前添加for
录音原文
Text 1
W: Do you like ice skating or skateboarding more?
M: I like both, but my favorite sport is skiing. I love the thrill when I’m going so fast!
Text 2
M: I can’t believe there’s another biology test! There are so many unfamiliar terms!
W: At least you aren’t taking chemistry, like me. So many things to remember!
M: Well, I hear physics class is even harder.
Text 3
M: How many cups of coffee have you had today? I’ve counted four.
W: Actually, I had two right when I woke up. After I began to work, I had three.
M: But it’s not even noon!
Text 4
M: I should really start turning in my homework on time. I lose so many points by being late.
W: Is that why you never get the highest marks in class? I know you’re smarter than most of us.
Text 5
W: We have already decided for a trip. Are you announcing the news today or tomorrow?
M: I’ll do it at Monday’s meeting. I am sure students will be excited about it.
Text 6
W: Can we go shopping, Dad? I need to get some notebooks and pens.
M: No problem. Do you need to buy anything else for school?
W: I need a new brush for art class, too.
M: Let’s go to the art store, then. We can get all of those supplies there. You probably need a lot more than that, though. Did the teacher give you a list?
W: There’s one on the class website.
M: Print it out and bring it with you, honey. I’ll get ready and we can leave in about 20 minutes.
W: OK, Dad. Can I go to Sarah’s house afterwards? We’re in the same art class. I want to show her what I will get.
M: Yeah, I’ll drive you there. But you need to take the bus back home in time for dinner, OK?
W: Deal!

M: French is so hard! Do you know what’s the most difficult part for me?
W: The grammar?
M: Yes, but only one particular area. I can’t remember if a word is male or female.
W: You have to just remember those.
M: But there are so many, and I can’t find a pattern! For instance, the moon is female and the sun is male. I know those are common in different languages. But a chair is female and hair is male. I think that hair would be considered female! I just don’t get it.
W: It can be very confusing. Don’t let it get you down, Andy. You’re doing well this term. One bad quiz score will hardly affect your grade. Your reading is excellent and so is your writing. You’ll get used to this part of the language soon enough.
Text 8
M: I was thinking about our travel plans. Why don’t we make our vacation longer and bike across Europe? We could still end our trip in Austria, or we could go all the way to Greece.
W: That sounds a lot harder than taking a train or a car.
M: It isn’t so bad, really. Lots of people do it. We’re both pretty strong physically and have good bikes. We could spend the whole summer on our trip, instead of visiting your parents for half of it. We could promise to visit them for New Year’s.
W: It would be a good way to see the countryside, and I love being in nature. Would there be enough places to spend the night along the way?
M: Some friends of mine went on a biking trip during university. They said there are many little roadside inns. Sometimes, they even stayed with farmers or camped in fields.
W: I’m all for it! Will we still start out in France, like we had planned at first?
M: I think if we bike, we should begin our trip in Spain. I want to see some of the beautiful architecture there.

W: What’s all that screaming about?
M: I just poured some ice water on Emi while she was in the hot shower. You should’ve
seen her face!
W: You shouldn’t tease your sister so much.
M: Aw, it was just a joke, Mom!
W: You take it too far sometimes, Matt. If my brother had been like you when I was growing up, I would’ve gone crazy! Remember the time you replaced her toothpaste with hot pepper? And when you put salt in her cake? That was just before her 10th birthday.
M: Sorry about that, Mom. That was a little too much. But… Emi likes my jokes! She always laughs about it afterwards.
W: She does have a good sense of humor. You’re lucky she loves you so much. My brother and I weren’t as close — he was five years older, and if he teased me, I always felt hurt. It’s good that you and Emi are only one year apart in age.
M: She’s my best friend. I like making her scared, but I’ll never hurt her!

W: This weekend, there will be a special 3-hour presentation called “The Perfect Cup of Tea.” Ms. Wei, an international tea expert, will teach you the proper way to prepare four different kinds of tea. In her lecture, she will talk about Indian black tea, North African mint tea, Chinese jasmine tea, and English milk tea. During the first part of the presentation, Ms. Wei will describe the history of tea and how it spread to the different areas. In the second part, the members of the audience will have a chance to make the four different teas. You will discover the perfect water temperature and cooking time for each one. You will learn how to recognize good tea leaves by how they look and smell. The last half hour of the presentation will be reserved for questions. This is the first lecture in a series. Next month, the head of a 2-star restaurant in New York City will talk about his amazing journey from dish washer to famous chef. The following month, in June, you will learn in 4 hours how to make one of the hardest dishes: Shanghai dumplings.
