Less than half an hour after the announcement from Stockholm, Mo's works turned to “sold out" status at China's major online book sellers． One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: "Rushed to purchase, but to my shame, I have not read any of his novels．” Although Mo was entitled one of the top China's literature awards before the Nobel Prize, he is not the most popular novelist in China, in either the book market or in reputation． Chinese media seemed to be shocked as some journalists were reported to be on their way overnight to Gaomi City of East China's Shandong Province, Mo's birthplace where he stayed with his family． Born in 1955 into a rural family, Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager． He joined the army and devoted himself to writing． Mo's novels were translated into several languages． For more than a century, Nobel Prize has been regarded by the world as recognition to an individual or even a nation's cultural and scientific advances． “I think the reason why I could win the prize is that my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics, and they also tell stones from a viewpoint of common human beings, which transcends（超越）differences of nations and races," Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists． Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown, such as paper cuts and traditional new year paintings, have inspired and influenced his novels． Mo's prize may give powerful encouragement to the country's writers as the more reflective of Chinese lives their works are, the more possible they arise as world literature．56．From this passage we know that the news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature was . A．a shock to online booksellers B．curiosity to the Swedish Academy C．contrary to the belief of the Chinese media D．beyond the expectation of most Chinese people57．The "one lucky buyer" mentioned in the third paragraph admitted that he _ ． A． had not yet read Mo Yan's novels B． had written an online comment C． regretted not reading Mo Yan's Novels D． failed to buy a copy of Mo Yan's novels58．The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to . A． the Chinese writers B．the Chinese writers' works C． the Chinese lives D．Mo Yan's novels59． What can we infer from this passage? A．Mo Yan will win another Nobel Prize in the near future． B．Folk arts originated from Mo Yan's hometown will also be awarded Nobel Prize． ． C．Nobel Prize will no longer regarded by the world as recognition to an individual． D．Mo Yan's success will encourage the Chinese writers to win more Nobel Prizes．B New Education is the UK's first training company devoted to the development of leadership potential in cross-cultural environment, We provide high quality training services such as effective communication, public speaking, positive attitude, life planning, career skills, Chinese and Western cultural differences and traditional Chinese business wisdom． New Education was set up in April 2010, with headquarters in London, Our professional services are divided into personal training and corporate training．Personal training is mainly for students, professional and business managers．Corporate training is mainly for Chinese companies with branches in the UK and foreign companies interested in China． With our deep understanding of Chinese and Western environment and high-quality training techniques, we can provide excellent professional services．Our goal is to become the best learning partner for individuals and companies seeking for overseas success． Our training team is composed by the elites （精英）from various industries．In addition to our professional training skills and techniques, and our rich experience, we are willing to devote ourselves to helping others improve themselves and seek for success． Easterners and Westerners are very different in their ways and means to explain concepts and information, which is important in our personal trainings．Our main value lies in the combination of the western theories and practice in individual development and the Chinese people's habits, ways of thinking and the practical problems in cross-cultural background, to effectively help you in improving your overseas competitiveness and achieving your goals．60．The advantage of New Education lies in its___． A． learning environment B． location C． reputation D． leadership potential61．New Education aims to _ ． A． keep a balanced life overseas B． provide services to Chinese companies C． develop its trainees' all-round abilities D． seek for success abroad62．We can learn from the passage that _ ． A． personal training is mainly for students, professionals, and Chinese companies B． the training team is made up of people who are the best learning partners C． New Education makes their efforts to establish an environment of diversity D． New Education tries to get rid of their trainees' Chinese ways of thinking63． Which of the following would be most interested in New Education training program?

Lark/n said of textbooks, "but they're pretty much outdated the minute they're printed and certainly by the time they're delivered"． But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure （设施）, repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech-heavy approach． Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics professor said, "I think people will like it． I really don't know anybody in high school that wouldn't want to get an iPad," he said． "We're always using technology at home, then when you're at school it's textbooks．so it's a good way to put all of that together．" Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students' use． And the nation's textbook publishing industry, accounting for $ 5.5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum （课程） specifically for iPads． Jay Diskey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers' schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay．"I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what smt of things work best digitally, "64．The first paragraph is mainly about ． A． a program to promote iPads marketing in new school year B． a program to spread electronic learning in new school year C． a plan of how to use iPads in the coming school education D． a plan of how to use IT technique in die coming school teaching65．What's the problem for iPads to be used in schools at present? , A． Some students wouldn't like to have iPads in schools． B． The iPads are too expensive for school students to buy． C． Most experts oppose the idea that iPads replace paper textbooks． D． The iPads may be unavailable for some traditional courses．66． The underlined sentence in the passage implies that _． A． traditional textbooks are behind the times before they are printed B． traditional textbooks possibly need to he printed again before delivered C． contents of traditional textbooks can't be renewed in time as electronic ones do D． the iPads can deliver information much more rapidly than printed textbooks67． From the passage we can draw conclusion that ． A．more students tend to use printed textbooks rather than electronic ones B．textbook publishing houses will develop more electronic textbooks of their own C．it is impossible for the iPads to be widely used in schools in the future D．electronic textbooks will take the place of printed ones in new school yearD A study by St． Louis University has found that a lovable dog named Sparky and a robotic dog AIBO, were about equally effective at reducing the loneliness of nursing home residents． The study confirmed previous findings that dogs have a good effect on nursing home residents（居民）． Dr． Andrew Smith led the Stanford University team出at built a home-assistance robot． "If humans can feel an emotional tie with robots, some day they could be not just our assistants, but also our companions," he said． To test whether residents responded better to Sparky, a trained dog, or the Sony-made robotic dog, researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three groups at three long-term care centers in St, Louis. One group had weekly 30-minute one-on-one visits with Sparky; another group had similar visits with AIBO; a control group had no contact with either dog．The groups' respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits． After two months, both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached． Most of the elderly regarded Sparky, a 9-year-old dog, as an audience for their life stories, said investigator Marian Banks. "He listened attentively, wagged his tail, and allowed them to pet him," said Banks, who adopted and trained Sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago． Those who were together with AIBO took a little longer to warm to the robotic creature．Over time, however, they grew comfortable with him, and petted and talked to him． He would respond by wagging his tail, vocalizing（发出声音）, and blinking his lights． "AIBO is charming once you start to interact with him," said the study's author, Dr． William Banks, " He's an attractive sort of guy． He gives a feeling: of being personal, not just a robot． "68． Before the new study, it was known that ． A． dogs could help get rid of old people's loneliness B． robots could build close connection with humans C． robots were more effective at reducing people's loneliness D． dogs and robots were equally effective at reducing loneliness
69． The first time those who contacted with the robotic dog ． A． accepted it immediately B． found it easy to interact with it C． were not quite comfortable with it D． were confused by its behavior70． The findings of the researchers tell us that . A． robots are actually attractive sorts of guys B． robots could make a good companion of the old ． C． it's easy for people to become close with robots D． the elderly will have a robot assistant in no time71． What would be the best title for the passage? A． Robots Serve People Better Than Thought B． No More Lonely Old Age with Emotional Robots C． Dogs equipped with robots to Help the Elderly D． Robots and Dogs Can Equally Cheer up the Elderly E Australians have evidently realized the fact that water means life and we need to he more thoughtful in our use of this rather precious resource．Since the year 2000, Australians have managed to reduce their use of water by 14% ． In the most populous city, Sydney, they've managed to use less water in 2007 than in 1974, even though the city grew by l． 2 million souls in this period． Across the country nearly 20% of all households have water tanks．That would probably be due, in large part, to the various state governments offering generous rebates． In NSW, for example, where 24,000 households have taken up the offer, you can get $1,500 AUD back if you fix a 7,000 + litre tank and have it attached into your toilet and washing machine． Creywater use has taken off too． The Australian Bureau of Statistics suggest that it's now the second most common source of water in Australia, with over half of the country's homes reusing water from their washing machines, showers and baths． The state of Victoria leads with 70% using greywater, and Queensland, coming close behind with 63%． Up in the northern state of．Queensland, some of their dams have been below 20%． Sydney's main dam is only at 56% of its potential capacity． The country's ongoing drought（干旱） has seen more than 95% of the length of the Murray- Darling Basin （ the two major river systems that supply the nation's 'food basket' ） regarded as ' degraded', Supply of water has become such an issue that hydro-electric power（水力发电） output has dropped 7% in a recent 9 year period for the states of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania．Not good for promoting our uptake understanding of renewable energy in these climate changing times．But at least the message is getting through about making every drop count．72．The underlined word "rebate" in paragraph 2 probably means ． A． discount or allowance B． water tanks for free C． agreements or payment D． washing machine of high quality73． Which of the following statements is TRUE? A． The state of Victoria is playing a leading role in greywater use． B． More water has been used in Australia with the growing population． C． The state of Queensland gets its water mostly from the north of its state． D． Some of the dams in Queensland are too weak to hold potential water．
74． We can learn from the last paragraph that ． A． the country's water shortage is partly due to continuous drought B． large quantities of water are being used to produce electricity C． the author hopes water resource could be used to the fullest D． the author disagrees with the use of renewable energy75． The passage is likely to appear in ． A． a scientist's diary B． a history paper C． a travel guidebook D． a newspaper第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填人一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。所填单词要求意义准确，拼写正确。When a private plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was k ．A young woman and her 76． two baby daughters, the only _ （乘客） , were unhurt．It was 77． the middle of winter．Snow lay （厚） on the ground．The woman） 78． knew that the nearest village was miles away． L , she found a 79． case nearby and turned it a bed and put the children inside it, 80． c them with all the clothes she could find．During the night, 81． it got terribly cold．The woman kept as near she could to the 82． children．The next day, she h _ planes passing overhead and 83． wondered she could send a signal．Then she had an idea．She 84． stamped out the l "SOS" in the snow．Eventually, a pilot saw 85． the “SOS” and arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors．第二节书面表达（满分25分） 国外某网站要举办网上讨论活动，向全球中学生征集话题。假设你是新华中学的学生李华，经常访问该网站。现请你根据以下要点用英文给该网站发送一封电子邮件，向其推荐一个话题。要点： 1．写信目的； 2．推荐的话题：对未来的展望； 3．推荐的理由； 4．预祝活动成功；注意： 1．内容必须包括所有要点，词数120左右； 2．部件格式已为你给出； 3．邮件中不能出现本人真实信息。Dear Sir or Madam,I am Li Hua，a student from Xinhua Middle School．I often visit your website．I am very glad to know that you are collecting topics from us middle school students． Yours,Li Hua
