The world paused to remember the cultural giant(巨匠).‎ Garcia Márquez was born in Colombia, but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers, he was widely regarded as “a giant of 20th-century literature”. Garcia Márquez wrote in a style called “magical realism ”(魔幻现实主义). In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.‎ Garcia Márquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude (《百年孤独》),which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world —of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years. The story is a metaphor（暗喻）for the development of Colombia since the 19th century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said, Garcia Márquez wrote about “the very essence(精髓) of the Latin American beings”.‎ ‎56. Garcia Márquez was born in the year _________.‎ ‎ A. 1914 B. ‎1928 ‎ C. 1967 D. 1982‎ ‎57.

He was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. ‎ ‎ B. His novel One Hundred Years of Solitude was a great success.‎ ‎ C. He was widely known as “a giant of 20th-century literature”.‎ ‎ D. Magical things happened to him during his stay in Mexico City.‎ ‎60. The writer quotes(引述) from the President to ______.‎ ‎ A. praise Garcia Márquez for his achievement ‎ B. show the deep sadness of the President ‎ ‎ C. explain the writing style of Garcia Márquez ‎ ‎ D. describe the character of Garcia Márquez B On the way back from work every evening, more often than not（往往） there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.‎ Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp(坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”‎ Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off(解雇). For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”‎ It is clear that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.‎ While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big ‎ smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.‎ You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.‎ ‎61. The writer would have a short conversation with the homeless man when .‎ ‎ A. she waited for the red light to turn B. she gave spare change to him C. she had a good time that day D. she wanted to know how he lived ‎62. Why did the writer feel sad and upset after out of the boss’s office?‎ ‎ A. Because she was criticized by the boss.‎ B. Because a new job was offered to her.‎ C. Because she was laid off by the boss.‎ D. Because there was something wrong with her job.‎ ‎63. What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage?‎ ‎ A. He would be seen at the exit of the freeway.‎ B. He usually smiled and waved at others.‎ C. He had a deep impression on the writer.‎ D. He felt joyful only when money was offered to him.‎ ‎64. The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because .‎ ‎ A. he had collected a lot of money B. he wanted to pay her back ‎ C. he knew what she experienced D. he wanted her to be happy ‎65. The writer learned from the story that .‎ ‎ A. a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy ‎ B. each of us has been blessed all the time C. whenever it is, we should choose to help others D. it is more than material things that bring us happiness C There is an old saying in English, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects (作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people’s health.‎ Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.‎ Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.‎ There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system — that is the system which fights infection (感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group — in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells — the cells which fight infection.‎ As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病专家) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ condition by ‎ encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.‎ ‎66. We learn from the first paragraph that laughter .‎ ‎ A. is good for one’s health B. has strong effects to do with some illnesses C. has been studied for a long time D. has no effect on the body ‎67. Doctors have found that laughter .‎ ‎ A. keeps down blood pressure B. has similar effects to physical exercise C. decreases the heart rate D. increases stress and pain ‎68. Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. It makes pain less. B. It exercises the body.‎ C. It improves the body’s immune system. D. It can cure cancer.‎ ‎69. Smiling can produce _________.‎ A. about the same effects as laughter B. more effects than laughter ‎ C. fewer effects on the human body D. no effects on the human body ‎70. The main idea of this passage is that _________.‎ A. the doctors should learn how to make people laugh ‎ B. there are several ways of studying the advantages of laughter ‎ C. tests show that laughter can produce positive effects on human body ‎ D. laughter and physical exercise have the same effects on human body ‎ ‎ 第二部分 非选择题(65分)‎ 五、词汇运用 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)‎ ‎(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。‎ ‎71.

He lost both his arms because of electricity. ‎ Liu Wei was very sad when both his arms were cut off after the ‎ accident. But soon he had to make a choice.‎ ‎“For people like me, there were only two choices. One was to give up all the dreams, which would cause a quick death. The other was to work hard without arms to live an excellent life.” says Liu Wei.‎ Liu’s dream was to be a pianist. His excellent life included a show on China’s Got Talent(《中国达人秀》) and a wonderful performance playing the beautiful Marriage D’amour with his two feet on the piano.‎ Liu Wei learned to play the piano with his feet. And teaching himself to play the piano with his feet was very hard. Many times he wanted to give up, but his parents went on encouraging him and he wanted to make his parents proud.‎ Maybe you cannot believe that Liu Wei is able to play well only with his toes.

They were both in Beijing, and both attracted people in their 20s and 30s. So why were they so different? Because one store was for Chinese people, and one was for Westerners. ‎ At the Western bookstore, in Sanlitun, the books put on display in front—the ones expected to be the most popular—were biographies (传记), books about history, and books about politics and current (现在的) events. Farther back, there was a big shelf full of novels. ‎ At the Chinese store, at the Beijing airport, there were very few books on history, and books on politics and current events were even harder to find. There were a few biographies, but they seemed to be of an instructive (教育性的) nature; almost all of them were about rich people, and how they got rich. What the store did have was lots and lots of books on how to learn English. ‎ As a Westerner, I found this surprising. The kinds of books I’m used to seeing people read—the kinds that were at the first store—are the kinds people read to escape (逃脱) their daily lives. But here most of the books were on how to get rich and how to study English—how to work better and how to study better. ‎ These Chinese books offered no escape from daily life—only ways to improve it. Perhaps this is another area where Westerners and Chinese people can learn from each other. We Westerners could certainly read a bit more for practical purposes (目的). But I also think Chinese people might benefit (受益) from more of something my teachers always encouraged: Reading for fun. ‎ Two different bookstores Location Sanlitun Beijing 91 ‎ Customers ‎ ‎ 92 ‎ Chinese people Books biographies books about history，politics and current 93 ；‎ biographies about rich people and the 95 to their success；‎ about how to learn English a shelf of 94 ‎ ‎……‎ ‎……‎ It’s not 96 to find the books which are popular in Sanlitun’s bookstore.‎ The purposes of 97 ‎ to be 98 from daily life to 99 daily life The writer’s attitude The western readers should read a bit more for 100 purposes.‎ Chinese readers should learn how to read for fun.‎ 八、短文填空 根据短文内容及首字母提示，补全空格内单词，使短文完整、通顺。(请在答题纸上写出完整单词)(共10空；每空1分，满分10分)‎ I was happy in those days b 101 I started going to school. Because I had good neighbors to play with. I played with them from morning t 102 evening. We played games outdoors, dressed up as cowboys and rode around on our tricycles (三轮车) happily. ‎ ‎　　A 103 the age of five, I had to go to kindergarten (幼儿园) and it was quite hard for me at first. I felt very sad about having to l 104 my mother each morning. I cried and wanted my mother around. As the days went by, however, I made friends easily in my class. I became happy again and looked f 105 to leaving my house each morning.‎ ‎　　I still remember those days when I was l 106 to ride a bicycle. I fell several times but I n 107 gave up. Finally, I was able to join my friends riding around on my bike.‎ ‎　　Another m 108 I like is the end-of-year concert held at the kindergarten.
