Meals in that dining room were   37   for four generations to become one. And always that grandfather clock stood like a trusted family friend, watching over the laughter and story   38   and gentle kidding that were a part of our lives. Year after year, the clock   39  , a part of my memories, a part of my heart. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s   40  . He wound that clock with a special key each day. That key was magic to me. It kept our family’s magnificent clock ticking and chiming. I remember watching as my grand-father took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the massive clock. He inserted the key and  41        not too much, never overwind, he’d tell me seriously, nor too   42  . He never let that clock wind down and stop. When we grandkids got a little older, he showed us how to open the door and let us each take a turn   43   the key. I remember the first time I did, I  44  , to be part of this family routine was sacred. After my   45   grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral   46  I remembered the clock! The tears flowed freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood lonely as quiet as the   47   had been, hushed. The clock even seemed smaller. Not quite as magnificent without my grandfather’s special  48  . I couldn’t   49   to look at it. Sometime later, years later, my grandmother gave me the clock and the key. The old house was quiet. The hands on the clock were  50  , a reminder of timeslipping away, stopped at the   51  moment when my grandfather had stopped winding it. I took the key in my shaking hand and opened the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a child again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and   52   blue eyes. He was there, winking at me, at the secret of the clock’s magic, at the key that held so much power. I stood,   53   in the moment for a long time. Then slowly, I inserted the key. It   54   to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were   55   into the dining room, into the house and into my heart. In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again. 36. A. used   B. traditional   C. massive   D. ancient37. A. a time   B. one time   C. instant       D. time38. A. swapping  B. telling    C. developing   D. spreading39. A. stroke   B. sounded   C. chimed   D. echoed40. A. ceremony  B. routine    C. movement   D. instruction41. A. moved   B. wound    C. motivated   D. powered42. A. little   B. loose    C. tight    D. much43. A. using   B. inserting   C. spinning   D. winding44.  A. nerved   B. excited   C. trembled   D. shook45. A. beloved  B. lovely    C. respectful   D. respective46. A. when   B. before    C. until    D. till47. A. function  B. ceremony   C. funeral    D. meeting48. A. reach   B. attention   C. fixing       D. touch49. A. bear   B. continue   C. allow    D. forbid50. A. dotted   B. stopped   C. frozen    D. paused51. A. precise  B. perspective   C. previous   D. primary52. A. staring      B. twinkling      C. shining       D. glaring53. A. thought  B. imagined   C. recalled   D. lost54. A. renewed  B. sprang    C. survived   D. awoke55. A. poured   B. crowded   C. filled    D. breathed第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AUS President Barack Obama has visited residents in areas of New York that still have no electricity 17 days after the deadly super-storm Sandy. Mr Obama took a helicopter tour of Breezy Point, a neighborhood in Queens where about 100 homes were razed in a fire during the storm. He also met residents at an emergency response centre in Staten Island. More than 100 people were killed in the US as a result of Sandy, 43 of them in New York. The US president also met privately with Damien and Glenda Moore, whose two sons were swept away in the storm. "Obviously I expressed to them as a father, as a parent, my heartbreak over what they went through," he said. He said the family wanted to thank the New York City police officer, Lt Kevin Gallagher, who stayed with them until their children’s bodies were found. One man whose home in Staten Island was destroyed by Sandy was thankful for Mr Obama’s visit, but thought he should have come earlier."If he could do something to make this process with the government a little faster and easier on us, that would be a great thing," said Anthony Gatti, who said he had queued all day every day to speak with emergency officials. Mr Obama visited parts of New Jersey in the immediate after the storm, avoiding New York City so as not to prevent recovery efforts. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who joined Mr Obama on Thursday, said he would request $30bn (£19bn) in federal aid in order to rebuild. That price tag included the construction of a power grid meant to help utilities find and fix outages, as well as an upgrade to New York City’s fuel supply capacity. Fuel shortages after the storm led to lengthy queues and petrol rationing.56. How did the man whose home was destroyed in the storm feel when visited?A. Excited but nervous.B. Scared but appreciated.C. Thankful but sorrowful.D. Appreciated but regretful.57. What can we learn from the passage?A. New York would request £30bn to rebuild.B. New York suffered a lot from super storm Sandy.C. Mr. Obama visited New York Government.D. Mr. Obama showed heart break in New York Government.58. What is the main idea of this passage?   A. Obama toured Sandy-hit New York. B. Obama expressed the warm heart to Damien and Glenda Moore.C. New York was faced with fuel shortage after the storm.D. New York Governor showed great ambition after the storm.BThroughout history, technology has provided artists with new tools for expression. Now, technology is increasingly becoming a fundamental force in the development of art.I had my first experience with the internet in the early 1990s. I used our 300-baud modem, allowed it to begin its R2-D2-like hissing and whistling, and began to telnet(远程登录). A window on our Macintosh’s screen began filling with text and announced our connection to the computers at the local university. After exploring a series of text menus, I began my first download: a text document containing Plato’s The Republic, via Project Gutenberg. After what felt like a significant chapter of an hour, I was fascinated. I can distinctly remember jumping up and down, celebrating that I had this entire book on our computer using nothing but phone lines and a lot of dull beeping.It took me almost a decade to actually get around to reading The Republic. By the time I did, the conception that I expressed wonder at such a mundane activity as downloading a text document seemed strange. In 2012, people stream movies onto their computers nightly without praising the modem gods. We have gone from the days of early web pages, with their splendid backgrounds and blinking text, to slick interactive sites with enough bells and whistles to make the entire experience smooth and multimedia based. No one thinks any longer about modems or the details of bandwidth speeds. And certainly no one uses the word baud anymore.The changes haven’t ended there. To store data, I have used floppy disks, diskettes, zip discs, rewritable CDs, flash drives, burnable DVDs, even the Commodore Datasette. Now, I save many of my documents to storage that’s available anytime I have access to the internet: the cloud.The technological revolution we’re currently experiencing is not a one-off, technology has been changing over the centuries. But what’s surprising is that if you look below the surface you discover that this progress is not random, it almost always follows a pattern. And understanding this pattern helps us to appreciate far more than faster download speeds or improved data storage. It helps us to understand something fundamental to our success as a species. It helps us to understand how our knowledge changes and evolves.59. How did the author feel when he first downloaded a text document?A. Frightened.      B. Ambitious.    C. Desperate.       D. Excited.60. What can be indicated from the fourth paragraph?A. Data storage has many different ways.B. Data storage is an unavoidable method now.C. Data storage experienced a thorough revolution.D. Data storage develops from floppy disks to internet: the cloud.61. What does the author mean in the last paragraph?A. Technological revolution develops randomly.B. Technological revolution develops with great storage.C. Technological revolution develops far more than speed.D. Technological revolution develops with a surprising force.62. What is the best title for this passage?A. My experience in internet revolution.B. Internet revolution gives us a big surprise.C. Internet revolution becomes a force in art.D. My download and data storage from the internet.CWhy are medical dramas so popular?  Why are we so fascinated by medical dramas? From the high drama of Casualty and ER to the squeamish reality of Embarrassing Bodies and One Born Every Minute, it is hard to look away. Books with a medical or health theme are equally popular on best-selling lists.  When it comes to how our bodies function and malfunction, we are hooked. Without doubt, medical science is a rich source of stories. The popularity of all forms of medical-based drama suggests that we love to watch and read about people dealing with pain and discomfort, facing problems we fear we might face too at some point in our lives. Prof George Ikkos, president of the Royal Society of Medicine’s psychiatry section, says it is more to do with learning about ourselves from other people. The integrity of our body is extremely important. We should be concerned about our own body and that lies at the heart of it. Programmes like Casualty are dramatic and exciting—they involve a lot of ordinary people we can relate to directly. "It’s not like watching something about nuclear physics or stamp collecting."  Prof Ikkos says: "Well-informed programmes can be helpful but people engage at different levels, from the highbrow to the lowbrow, depending on how people relate to what they are watching." There is, of course, no research to confirm whether these dramas improve our understanding of medical matters or change our knowledge of health issues. Some fly-on-the-wall medical shows may simply be a popular form of voyeurism(窥探者). "But they do give information that is helpful. I would not want to discourage them," Prof Ikkos adds.  The themes of health, medicine and science are also at the heart of many works of popular fiction and non-fiction. Best-selling novels such as Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes tackle the subjects of long-term memory loss and life as a paraplegic(高位截瘫的人). Thomas Wright, whose new book Circulation—a biography of the 17th Century physician William Harvey—won the Wellcome Trust Book Prize this week, does not need to be convinced about the power of medical history. He was attracted to the story behind Harvey’s discovery that the heart was the principal organ of the body, pumping blood through veins and arteries with an incredible force. During an experiment, Wright says, Harvey cut the aorta(主动脉) of an animal and the blood dashed out with such force and quantity that it splattered the room. "It was so shocking to people who thought blood flowed slowly around the body. It’s an image that stayed in my mind."That dramatic scene opens Wright’s book and he returns to it at the end too. Back then, people did not have much faith in physicians and many did not believe that medicine would be able to help or cure them, if they could afford to go to them in the first place. As a result, Harvey had a tough time convincing people of his theories.Wright says how we view doctors and their methods has changed greatly since then and that could explain the popularity of medical dramas."Now we look to doctors and scientists for answers—we hope that they can overcome illness and death. We put them on a pedestal. Just the act of going to a doctor makes me feel better, but that builds expectations and pressure too."Wright hopes his book will appeal to the same audience who watch the blood-stained medical dramas on TV.63. People like to watch and read medical drama because________.A. they want to form of medical-based drama B. they want to read a rich source of stories.C. they want to deal with pain and discomfortD. they might face the similar situation in their life64. According to prof Ikkos, which statement is right?A. We can cure ourselves from dramas.B. Pro Ikkos will improve medical drama show.C. Different people can learn from the medical dramas.D. There is no specific research to confirm medical matters.65. Harvey’s experiment of cutting the aorta tells us_________. A. the heart was the principal organ of the body B. the heart in the animal can press the blood dashC. in the 17th century, medical knowledge was convincedD. in the 17th century, animal was used in medical operation66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A.        B.  C.            D.  CP: central Point     P: Point      SP: Sun-point (次要点)     C: ConslusionDUrban grasshoppers change their tune for females grasshopperGrasshoppers that live in noisy urban environments are having to change their song, a study has found.Researchers suggest that high levels of background noise may affect the grasshoppers’ mating process. They say the insects are forced to increase the volume of the low-frequency sections of their call. Results of the study, by scientists from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, are published in the journal Functional Ecology. The research, which shows traffic noise could upset bow-winged grasshoppers’ (Chorthippus biguttulus) mating system, is the first of its kind, according to lead researcher Ulrike Lampe. "Effects of man-made noise on communication has only been studied with vertebrates(脊椎动物), so far," said Ms Lampe, a PhD student at the University of Bielefeld’s Department of Evolutionary Biology. The scientists caught 188 male bow-winged grasshoppers from noisy roadsides and quiet rural locations.According to Ms Lampe: "Bow-winged grasshoppers are a good model organism to study sexual selection because females can respond to male loving songs with their own low-frequency signal, if they are attracted to a male song." The grasshoppers produce their mating call by rubbing a toothed file on their hind-legs against a vein that is located on their front wings. The male’s song consists of short phrases of two to three seconds. The first part of the call consists of slower ticking sounds that increase in speed, leading to a buzzing sound towards the end of the phrase.In order to stimulate the males to begin mating calls, scientists exposed the males to a female and recorded the results in the laboratory. The team then analysed the differences between the results of each group of grasshoppers. “Results showed that compared to males from rural locations, urban grasshoppers shift the frequency peak of the lower part of their spectrum(频谱) upwards," Ms Lampe explained. This would make sense to avoid low-frequency noise, as traffic noise could mask signals in that part of the frequency spectrum. The team’s findings demonstrate that traffic noise could be upsetting the grasshopper’s mating system."Increased noise levels could affect grasshopper courtship in several ways," commented Ms Lampe. "It could prevent females from hearing male loving songs properly, prevent females from recognising males of their own species, or impair females’ ability to estimate how attractive a male is from his song."67. What is the usage of the grasshoppers’ songs?A. To make our urban hear better.B. To attract the mate grasshoppers.C. To fight against the urban noise.D. To attract the female grasshoppers.68. How did scientist prove their conclusion?   A. By using statistics.B. By arguing a topic.C. By quoting person’s theory.D. By comparing the results.69. What does the underlined word “mask” mean?   A. Cover.        B. Affect.         C. Prevent.         D. Destroy.70. What can be inferred from the passage?   A. Urban environment affects some animal lives.B. Urban grasshoppers have to change their tune.C. Grasshoppers shift the peak of spectrum.D. Grasshoppers don’t like living in noisy urban areas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。Merry ChristmasThe winter holiday season is the most festive time of the year in the United States. Students from elementary school through college have about two weeks’ vacation, beginning shortly before Christmas and ending soon after New Year’s Day.    71    There are many parties to celebrate the birth of Christ and the arrival of the New Year.   72   Late in November, street lights and store windows are decorated with the traditional Christmas colors of red and green. Santa Claus, shepherd and angel scenes appear in shop windows. Winter scenes with snowmen, sleighs, skaters, and skiers decorate cards and windows. The manufacture and sale of Christmas items is big business.    73    Smart shoppers buy their gifts far in advance, before the Christmas rush makes shopping a chore. Although Americans enjoy the commercial friendliness of Christmas, the most beautiful and meaningful parts of the holiday occur at home.    74    Then they sit down to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner—turkey or ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and cranberry sauce. Dessert is usually fruit cake, plum pudding, or apple pie. Most of the Christmas customs which Americans enjoy today are variations of traditions brought here by European immigrants, decorating the Home with evergreens for example.   75    Branches of evergreens were thought to bring good luck and guarantee the return of spring. Now, at Christmastime, decorated trees stand in about two-thirds of American homes. The modern American tree is usually covered with colored balls and strings of colored lights. A. Many families gather around the tree and open their gifts.B. In America, the spirit of Christmas arrives about a month before the holiday itself.C. Many families go away for the holidays, but those who stay home have fun, too.D.  In America, it’s customary to exchange gifts with family members and close friends.E.  Stores depend on Christmas shoppers for about one-fourth of their annual sales.F.  Today the custom continues, but now it is for fun.G.  This winter custom began in ancient times.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节 情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学的学生李华，下面四幅图描述了你班上学期参加学校元旦联欢会的过程,请根据图片先后顺序向校刊“英语园地”写一篇短文。注意：词数不少于60。提示词:演出服 costume 第二节 开放作文（15分）请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim.

From the next day on, we took an action to prepare for it. Some practiced singing with some accompanying them. All of them devoted a great deal. In the meantime, the students who were not expert in performance contributed energetically.

Jim, you see, a sunflower is cocking its head to the sun with a big smile on the left while the other is heading down sorrowfully during a moon night on the right.What the picture conveys to us is that we need a good attitude whether we are in a pleasing situation or not. As we all know, the sunflower likes sunshine, so it’s not evitable to be happy when facing it. However, the other sunflower feels sad when moonlight comes, which I think is not necessary. The moon and stars appear at night, though it is not the sunflowers’ favorite, yet it’s certain that the sun will come sooner or later. Some of our classmates are like the right sunflower, who are so pessimistic when they are weak in one exam. But I want to tell them the night is just short and a sunny tomorrow will come soon. We should cheer up, adjust ourselves and be ready to greet another sunny day.Jim, that’s my opinion about the picture, what about yours? 2. Jim, let’s look at this interesting picture. You see, the sunflower is so happy and willing to face the sun, while it appears to be sad with a hanging head when the night comes.What it tries to tell us is that we should be accustomed to nature in our daily life. The sunflower is absolutely in good condition when growing in the sun, but it can not stop the sun set and avoid the coming of the night, which are the nature rules. So the sunflower has no reason to be sad when the moon and the stars come at night, for everything goes with its regular route. Also it’s natural behavior for sunflowers to head down during the night, who should face it objectively. We can not change the bad result if we lose in a match, thus we need to face it with a calm heart and try to catch the next opportunity. Only in a natural way can we truly be ourselves.

I dig a hole, put in the seed, cover it with dirt, and then water it.(Text 2)W: Do you think this shirt goes well with this blouse?M: Yes, but I think your red dress would be more elegant for the reception.(Text 3)M: Look! The astronauts have a very similar appearance.W: Well, they look like brothers, but one is from Beijing, the other is from Shanghai.(Text 4)M: I’ll be back after tonight. Would you please send me something to eat in my room?W: Just phone Room Service and tell them what you like.(Text 5)W: I hear that your son’s working part-time at the department store.M: Yes, he works Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3 to 7 and all day Saturday.第二节:(Text 6)W: Excuse me, Mr. Block. Uh, may I leave just one hour earlier this afternoon?M: Yes, but why? You know we’re in the busiest season of the year.W: Oh, yes, I know. But my boyfriend is coming to see me and he is leaving soon.M: That doesn’t sound like a good reason. He can come at any time but not now.W: Well, he certainly can. But you know young people nowadays are always short of money. He can fly such a long distance here this time because he is on business.(Text 7)W: Hi, Paul. It’s been a while since we met last time.M: Yeah, nice to see you againW: How is everything in the university?M: Everything’s fine.W: What about your accommodation? Was that OK?M: Yes. OK. At first I stayed with a family for three months. They were very kind to me but they had three young children and I found it difficult to study.W: Right. I see.M: So after three months I moved out and now I live with two other students in a student house.W: That’s quite good. And what about your studies? What are you studying?M: I’m doing a Master of Computing.W: Computing. I see.M: Well, the main difficulty for me is getting time on the computers in the computer room.W: Yes, I’m sure it would. Can you reserve time in the computer room?M: No, I can’t. That’s why I have to go to this bar.(Text 8)W: Are you going somewhere?M: What? Oh, these? I’m making plans for our next holiday.W: Oh, yes.M: I like to be ready, you know. For example, we’re going to drive from Paris to Toulouse. There’s a good road through Orleans and Limoges, and perhaps it’s quicker to go that way. But sometimes it’s better to go a longer way round. You see more. There’s less traffic, so it’s easier to drive.W: How do you know which road is best?M: The guides. They tell you everything. Look — there’s a good restaurant in Bourges, so that’s where you stop for lunch. Then in the evening, you should stop there and stay at that hotel. In the morning, before you leave, you should see the castle. I write it all down, you see, one page for every day. It all goes in here. I couldn’t go on holiday without that, and without the maps and guides.W: Wow, you are really organized!M: Always make plans. That’s the way. Always know what you’re going to do, and when you’re going to do it.(Text 9)We all know one of America’s greatest writers John Steinbeck. Maybe you know many of his novels and short stories are about people with troubles and problems. But “Travels with Charley” is different. It's a book about traveling around the United States. John Steinbeck and Charley traveled together from New York to Maine and then to the Mid-west. From the Mid-west, they went west to California on their way back east, and then visited Texas. Finally, John and Charley traveled through the South, and back up north to New York.    It was reported that John Steinbeck's journey took three months to complete. When he arrived home, he wrote about what he saw and heard when he crossed the country. He decided that Americans were wonderful people, and that the United States was full of peaceful towns, great cities, huge mountains, and beautiful parks. Charley seemed to enjoy the trip although he didn’t say or write anything. You might wonder why Charley had no ideas about America. It is only for the reason that he was John Steinbeck’s dog, a big black dog.第三节:(Text 10)We’d like to extend a warm welcome to all the newcomers to International English School, and wish you the best of luck as you work to improve your business English skills. This weekend, since it is your first in London, we’ll offer to help you adapt to your new surroundings in an unusual and exciting way. So, starting Friday morning we thought you’d want to visit the city. We know that some of you have already visited a few museums in the neighborhood, so we’ve organized a visit for any of you who are interested. At 3 pm we’ve planned some games that’ll help you get to know your fellow students. You’ll all be rather tired after dinner so we thought you might like to see a film at 7 pm, which is free to all International English School members. On Saturday we have organized a trip to visit the historical city of Bath. We’ll set off at 10 am, on a bus we’ve hired for the day. Everything will be provided for you, including lunch. Now on Sunday, we’ve left it up to you to choose how you spend the day both in the morning and the afternoon. OK, that’s all for now. Thank you.
