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
It was September of 2003 and I was struggling to find work after experiencing downsizing (裁员). I had fallen on some of the grandest challenges of my life. I found
- 20 -
myself sitting in my house constantly worried. I decided to force myself to find some volunteer work to occupy my thoughts. The first place I sought out was the Arizona Humane Society. It offered me a program, “Equestrian Therapy Program” (马术治疗方案),whose mission is to build self-esteem and confidence in children who have been through difficult times in their lives. Being with animals was the only time I truly felt I had a place in the world. But I had never been around a horse in my life.
I found myself a little apprehensive during my first day——being around such large strong animals was much harder than the three cats I’m accustomed to caring for. I found that I wasn’t different during my first day around these fantastic creatures from the kids who came into the program. But there is a strange transformation when one is around horses. I found myself playing the role of student, observer, teacher, mentor, worker, friend, and companion; not only to the kids, but to the horses and staff!
Before long, I was good at handling the horses and kids and having a grand time working with human and animal elements equally. I realize this experience has helped me to develop my horizons in ways I never thought likely. I started this wanting to give others help and realized in doing so I was the one who really benefited the most. I believe the companionship and peace that comes from working with our animal brothers is something that can and will make the world a better place!
21.Why did the author want to do some volunteer work?
A. To help kids in trouble. B. To make a living.
C. To build up others’ confidence. D. To improve his state of mind.

23.How does the working experience change the author?

B.He found a permanent job.
C.He realized the roles he played.
D.He became accustomed to his life.

Lombard Street (San Francisco,USA)
Known as “the world’s most—crooked (弯曲)street,” Lombard Street was first built in 1922 tQ reduce the hill’s natural 27% grade (坡度),which was too steep for most vehicles. Lombard Street owns the record as the street with the most switchbacks in a single block. With eight steep and sharp turns, Lombard Street looks like a giant dizzy snake lying on the road. This famous street in San Francisco is known as the most-challenging street of all.
Parliament Street (Exeter, England)
This street in England is over a hundred years old today, but what makes it as an urban wonder is not its age but its unbelievable narrow size. Usually, a street is
- 20 -
where a vehicle can conveniently pass, but that will never happen in the Parliament Street, as the street measures just 25 inches wide which is just enough for a relatively medium-built person to pass.
King Fahd’s Fountain (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
The fountain was donated to the city by King Fahd. Being the world’s tallest fountain, it deserves to be an urban wonder. It was constructed between 1980 and 1983. This fountain shoots water in an incredible 1023-foot (312m) height which is greater than the height of the Eifel Tower. Because of its seemingly unreachable height, the waters of the King Fahd’s Fountain can be sighted even if the visitors are miles apart.
Damanhur Temple (Northern Alps of Italy)
The underground of the modest homes of Italy ’ s northern Alps is where a massive, richly -decorated temple is found. The Damanhur Temple was secretly constructed in the 1970s. Decorated with impressive murals (壁画)and vividly 一 colored stain glass,the temple was once seized by the Italian government due to illegalities. After some time, it was returned to Oberto Airaudi, the builder and founder of Damanhur.
24.Why was Lombard Street built that way?
A. To ease the traffic. B. To challenge citizens.
C.To attract visitors. D. To set a record.
25.What is King Fahd’s Fountain most famous for?
A. Name. B. Location. C. Height. D. Decoration.
26.What is special about Damanhur Temple?
A.It was donated by a king. B. It is at a very high altitude.
C.It was built by the Italian government. D. It was constructed underground.
27.Which of the following has the longest history?
A.Lombard Street. B. Parliament Street.
C.King Fahd’s Fountain. D. Damanhur Temple. .
C
If you think by examining someone’s facial expressions you can judge if he has good or bad luck in the stock market, think again. A study published in the journal, Science, has shown that body language provides a better signal in judging whether the observed subject has just gone through an intensely positive* or negative experience.
To test highly intense faces, Dr. Hillel Aviezer and his colleagues presented test groups with photos of dozens of highly intense facial expressions in real-life situations.
In one study, they compared emotional expressions of professional tennis players winning or losing a point. To discover exactly how people view images, the researchers showed different editions of the pictures to three groups of participants: 1) the full picture with the face and body; 2) the body with the face removed; 3) the face with the body removed. .Remarkably, participants could easily pick the losers from winners when they judged by the full picture or the body alone, but they only had a 50:50 chance of being right when judging by the face alone. Strangely, the participants who viewed the full image believed that it was the face, not the body, that revealed the person’s emotions.
- 20 -
In an additional study, the researchers performed the same series of tests, asking viewers to examine a wider range of real - life intense faces. Again, viewers were unable to tell faces in positive situations from negative situations. The researchers also “planted” faces on bodies expressing positive or negative emotions. Sure enough, the researchers discovered that the emotion of the same face on different bodies was determined by the body on which it appeared.
“These results show that when emotions become extremely intense, the difference between positive and negative facial expressions no longer seems clear,” says Aviezer. “The findings challenge classic behavioral models, in which the boundary between positive and negative emotions is clear.”
Aviezer adds, “The results may help researchers understand how body and facial expressions interact during emotional situations. For example, individuals with autism (自闭症)may fail to recognize facial expressions, but if trained to read important body language signs, their performance may significantly improve.”
28.What can we learn from the first study?
A. The participants were divided into three groups.
B: Half the participants judged right by the body alone.
C.The participants couldn’t judge by the face alone.
D.All participants believed faces showed emotions.
29.Which method was used in both studies?
A.Judging facial expressions of people in the stock market.
B.Picking losers from winners among professional tennis players.
C.Showing pictures with the face, body or both to participants.
D.Putting faces on bodies for positive or negative emotions.
30. What does the underlined part “their performance” refer to?
A. Picking losers from winners. B. Understanding different emotions.
C. Recognizing facial expressions. D. Reading body language signs.
31.What can we conclude from the study?
A.One cannot judge someone’s emotions by facial expressions.
B.The boundary between positive and negative emotions is clear.
C.It’s easier to tell positive emotions from negative ones if they’re tenser.
D.Body language is a better choice to judge intense emotions.

British MPs have voted in favor of the creation of babies with DNA from two women and one man, in an historic move. The UK is now set to become the first country to introduce laws to allow the、creation of babies from three people.
In a free vote in the Commons, 382 MPs were in favor and 128 against the technique that stops genetic diseases (遗传病)being passed from mother to child. During the debate, ministers said the technique was “light at the end of a dark tunnel” for families. A further vote is required in the House of Lords. If everything goes ahead then the first such baby could be bom next year.
But critics will continue to fight against the technique that they say raises too many ethical (伦理)and safety concerns.
- 20 -
Prime Minister David Cameron said: “We’re not playing god here. We’re just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one.”
The method will help women like Sharon Bemardi, from Sunderland, who lost all seven of her children to mitochondrial disease (线粒体疾病).Mitochondria are the tiny parts inside nearly every cell of the body that change food into useable energy. They have their own DNA, which does not affect characteristics such as appearance. Defective mitochondria are passed down only from the mother. They can lead to brain damage, muscle wasting, heart failure and blindness.
The technique uses a modified version of IVF (试管受精)to combine the DNA of the two parents with the healthy mitochondria of a donor woman. It results in babies with 0.1% of their DNA from the second woman and is a permanent change that would be passed down through the generations.
32.Why do the critics object to the technique?
A.They think it will cause ethical problems.
B.They think it goes against the local law.
C.They think it can’t stop genetic diseases.
D.They think it will make people feel unsafe.
33.The creation of babies from three people can result in •
A. a healthy baby B. a clever baby C. a perfect baby D. a pretty baby
31.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The technique can cure the mitochondrial disease.
B.The technique changes little of the baby’s DNA. 4
C.The technique can guarantee every mother a perfect baby.
D.The technique can guarantee every baby good health.
35.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Ethical and Safety Problems B. People Say Yes to Three-person Babies
C. How to Cure Genetic Diseases D. MPs Say Yes to Three-person Babjes

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多 余选项。
Every single decision we make shapes our current reality. 36 So if you’re unsatisfied with your life right now, making the effort to change your decisions will be the key to creating the life you want to have in the future.
Realize the power of decision making. 37 When you decide to pick up a
cigarette, that decision might result in you picking up another later on. But if you decide not to smoke that first cigarette and make a decision to focus your attention somewhere else, your desire will eventually weaken and you will become smoke—free.
38 When you make a decision, act on it. Commit to making a real decision.
What ’ s a real decision? It ’ s when you decide on something, and that decision is carried out through action. It’s pointless to make a decision in your head, but
- 20 -
not doing anything about it. That’s the same as not making a decision at all.
Tell others about your decisions. Sometimes telling other people what we ’ re going to do will make us follow through. I’ve been trying to become an early riser but waking up early without falling back asleep felt impossible. So I made the decision to tell people that I would wake up at 6 a.m. and stay up.
39
Have fun making decisions. 40 I know decision -making might not be a fun
thing, but when you do it often, you’ll learn a lot about yourself on the way, and you’ll become more confident, and making decisions will just become so easier that you won’t even think about it.
A.Enjoy the process.
B.Carry your decision out.
C.Examine the decisions you now have.
D.Any decision you make causes a chain of events.
E.Within two days, I was able to accomplish doing this.
F.But we often go through life unaware what actions we are taking.
G.Before making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does.

本文主要介绍了如何通过在生活中做决定来让未来更理想的几种方法。
36. F 文章第一句话的意思是“我们所做的每一个决定都影响着我们的现在。”36题后的一句话的意思是“所以如果你对目前的生活不满意,……”,据此36题空上应填一句连接前后两句的句子,F项意为“但是我们经常度过自己的人生,却不知道自己做了什么”。
37. D 第二段的标题意为“意识到决定的巨大力量。”空后以吸烟为例,介绍了如果你决定吸烟和决定不吸烟产生的不同的一系列影响,所以此空应填D,意为“你所做的任何决定都会产生一系列影响。”
38. B 本段主要内容是如果你做了一个决定,就要将其付诸行动,否则和没做决定一般无二,所以标题应为B,意为“实施你的决定。”

Dear Peter,
I’m so glad to hear from you, knowing that you are visiting China. I’ll be free at that time and I’m eager to meet you. Please tell me your flight number and arrival time so that I can pick you up at the airport. You are welcome to stay at my house, where you can meet my family and friends. My plan goes like this: During the first week, I’ll take you to Beijing to show you around some famous royal palaces as well as the Great Wall, thus helping you know more about Chinese history. Then in the following week, we’ll go to Yunnan Province, because it’s amazing to experience the traditional customs and beautiful sceneries there.
If you have any suggestions, please write to inform me.
All the best.
Yours
Li Hua

(Text 2)

W: I think San Francisco is one of the best in a long time. I love the leading actress.
M: I also like San Francisco. It’s about a girl who comes from a poor family.
(Text 4)
M: I’d like to buy this tie. How much is it?
W: It’s 30 dollars.
M: Can you give me a discount?
W: Your discount is already included, sir. Normally we charge 35 dollars, but we’re giving you a special price. This is our sales period.
(Text 5)
M: Many countries have high-speed rail transportation.
W. So has China. The trains move rapidly from one city to another, saving a lot of time.
M: That’s true, but I’m afraid modern travel does not allow us to relax and to enjoy the trip.
(Text 6)
W: How much holiday do they give you in your job, John?
M: Well, I think we do very well for holiday. I get a month a year.
W: Mmm. Er, do you go away for that?
M: Well, my wife and I always try to go away, during the year. We usually go twice, actually. For our main holiday we usually go abroad. This year we’re going to Turkey.
W: Are you?
M: We’re going over to Istanbul, and other places.
(Text 7)

M: What did you do?

M: Miriam, your new play is going on next week. Are you at all anxious or is opening night no longer bothering you?
W: Well, I’m very pleased to have Malcolm Rush as a director. He doesn’t care whether you’re tired or not. He’ll just continue pushing until every scene is simply perfect. You don’t just learn the part—you live it, which takes away any fears you might have of not being able to persuade an audience you’re real. That’s very important.
M: Malcolm does have a reputation of being quite the ruler. No one dares speak their opinions, I hear.
W: Well, once you’ve proved yourself, it’s all about being open to changes.
(Text 9)
M: Who was that on the phone?
W: That was Amy. She wants to meet us in front of her house in an hour.

M: I’m preparing for an important test on Tuesday, so I really don’t have time to have fun!
W: You have been studying for several days. You need to have some fun because you’re too tired to study, anyway.
M: I don’t know; maybe you’re right. Is it just Amy and us going?
W: Lily is coming along, too. We can have lunch downtown first.
M: Really? I need time to take a shower and get dressed!
W: Don’t worry. You have time.
M: It will be fun to see Lily and fun to see a film together.
W: I told you so!

W: We’re lucky to have Tony Taylor with us today. Tony is arranging an activity course for the summer holidays. Could you tell us something about it?
- 20 -
M: Sure. Kids can come for the whole length of the course if they like. We’ve done our best to keep prices low so that it’s not too expensive for children to attend the course for as long as they want. There’ll be different things to do every week, so the kids won’t be repeating the same activities over and over again. However, I don’t expect many kids will come for the whole summer, as I’m sure their parents will want to be with them for a week or two. We do, however, ask that children attend full weeks, not just single days. It makes it easier for us to keep attendance records. The course is currently available for children aged eight to thirteen. If a child or a child’s parent is listening, and is interested in coming to my summer activity course, they should go to my website, www.summeractivities.co.uk and print out an application form. Send it in with part payment as soon as possible, because the places are going fast. You’ll need to tell us which weeks you are planning to attend straight away, but you won’t need to choose your activities in advance. You can choose what you want to do every Monday. We do need to know if the child has any special needs regarding their diet.
