A
I vividly remember walking back to my house after collecting the afternoon mails. I saw a credit card statement, another credit card statement and our bank statements. I was in that moment that I felt a deep tension.
I realized that even though I had married a man who I absolutely loved and adored, I really didn’t have a clear sense of how he handled money and how the two of us were going to combine our different approaches to handling money in our marriage. I was more organized and detailed, but he was more of a laid-back type. I knew that getting on the same financial page was a key factor in creating a successful marriage and financial future.
I asked my husband if he would be willing to set up a time each week to talk about our finances and develop a plan for getting rid of our credit card debt. My husband said he would be willing to do this. Admittedly, he was skeptical — but willing.
We came to refer to our weekly meetings as our Financial Dates. We didn’t really have a clue as to what we were doing. All we knew was that we needed to give our finances serious attention.
Some Dates were filled with tense conversations. Other Dates were filled with laughter, joy and creativity. However, we kept showing up for our Dates and we never gave up. What started out as a means for survival became a powerful connecting thread in our relationship. Something shifted within us.
Instead of our finances becoming a source of divisive tension that pulled us apart, they became
the glue that held us together as we became a unified team.
I still recall the day that we excitedly crossed off our last credit card payment on the chart we had created. We had finally arrived. We were free. We had been given wings to fly.
Now, whenever I feel huge stress I ask myself, “How am I contributing to what is happening right now?” This gives me the ultimate power to take action. Even though my husband and I don’t have any guarantee against future challenges, I am left with something deep within that is unshakable
and that can never be taken away — the memory of our past successes and the power to integrate (整合) these lessons in my day-to-day life.
51. Why did the author feel nervous when collecting the afternoon mails?
A. She was not sure about her marriage.
B. She didn’t know how to handle money.
C. She could feel the pressure of the huge debt.
D. She was reminded of the quarrels in the family.
52. Which word can replace the underlined word “laid-back” in the second paragraph?
A. relaxed. B. skeptical. C. lazy. D. confident.
53. What can we learn from the Financial Dates?
A. They showed the couple clear direction at first.
B. They left the couple nothing but deep sadness.
C. They were once interrupted but quickly continued.
D. They strengthened the couple’s relationship at last.
54. We can infer that when faced with stress the author will _______.
A. try to change the situation B. focus on what contributes to it
C. get power from the memory D. feel free to do what she likes

There are roughly 55 million single women in the US, many of them fashionable, sexy and smart, with their finger on the pulse of life. But when that certain finger is ringless, even the most self-confident finger fears the shame and blame of disappointed family during a visit home. The holidays are known to cause stress to scores of single women in the pains of “The Panic Years”, who call the annual visit-and-interrogation (审讯) the “Thanksgiving Third Degree”. Now some women have admitted to buying fake, cheap “engagement rings” just to prevent parents and other overly-critical family members from delivering ridicule and judgment over their single status.
It may sound like a slippery slope towards avoidance issues and other psychological problems, but if it quiets them long enough without you getting questioned about why your boyfriend of three years hasn’t proposed yet, it could be well worth the $30 investment. Sometimes it’s completely soul-pressing when you come home for the holidays empty-handed—literally (准确地)—watching your family members’ faces show disappointment that you’re back another year without any engagement ring.
Heather, a 31-year-old lawyer from New York, was well on her way to being both unhitched and unhinged(神经错乱), thanks to her mother’s persistent request about marriage. She feared that the constant blaming could destroy not just her own wise judgment, but threaten her long-time relationship with her boyfriend, Tony, who was regularly interrogated about his intentions from
his would-be mother-in-law. Well aware that showing up without a ring for the holidays would ruin the mood of the entire weekend, she became very resourceful.
“I got a fake ring for $30 just to shut her up,” she said. “It actually worked and it turned into a really great visit!” Just three months later, Heather had a real ring to show off. Tony proposed on their own timetable on Valentine’s Day and her mother was never the wiser.
55. From the passage some single women buy fake rings _______.
A. to keep away from blame from parents
B. to save money for their future marriage
C. being vain to show their beautiful fingers
D. to check how others evaluate them
56. Some single women fear their holidays because _______.
A. they can’t find suitable partners
B. their parents aren’t satisfied with their casual attitude
C. their parents blame them for just not wearing rings
D. they will be questioned for being single
57. What caused Heather to be resourceful?
A. Not wanting to spend stressful weekends home.
B. Thinking of how to make weekends meaningful.
C. Having many resources to enjoy the weekends.
D. Getting help from her parents on weekends.
58. What can be implied from “ it turned into a really great visit”?
A. Heather wasn’t afraid of visiting her parents.
B. Heather managed to make her parents happy.
C. Heather found visiting her parents more enjoyable.
D. Heather wore a fake ring confirming her engagement.

It’s clear that with unprecedented (空前的) pressure on our natural resources and our climate, the world economy needs to “green up”. The shift to a green economy represents one of the biggest business opportunities in decades. Already, the global low-carbon market is worth more than £3 trillion, and is set to reach £4 trillion by 2015 as more economies invest in low-carbon technologies.
And we need to focus on green growth because the price of inaction is too high. Business is constantly looking for ways to become more efficient and the competitive gains for British companies’ efficient use of resources such as water, energy and materials are enormous, with potential savings of about £23 billion a year. We do not underestimate the challenges that we face in moving to a green economy. We often take our natural resources for granted but these are not inexhaustible, and demand is increasing. This is an economic issue, it’s a development issue, and it requires global action.
Next month, I’m joining leaders in business, government and civil society from all over the world at the Rio+ 20 Earth Summit in Brazil. I’ll be calling for an absolute commitment from my international colleagues to inclusive (广泛的) green growth as the path to shared prosperity. Governments need to create the framework for the private sector（部门）to act. We want an agreement to develop sustainable development goals that meet the linked challenges of food, energy and water security.
At home, we’re providing support to companies that are changing the way they do business. Our Green Economy Council brings together government, businesses and the third sector to help us create the right way to enable action from everyone — from government, businesses and consumers. We in the government want to create an effective basis for the green economy, with
policies that are helping growth and giving businesses the certainty to plan and invest.
A strong green economy will generate the investment and innovation (创新) to transform our products and services and capture new markets, though the case for green investment and green growth is compelling (有吸引力的), as we rebuild the British economy. To my mind, there is no other option.
59. It is time for the world economy to “green up” due to _______.
A. the appearance of low-carbon technologies
B. the pressure on natural resource and climate
C. the increasing demand of worldwide population
D. the present environmental problems like pollution
60. What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. Some businesses have efficiently saved a lot.
B. Inefficient companies will have to compete much.
C. A green economy is in reality a development issue.
D. There are many difficulties on the way to a green economy.
61. To develop green economy, the governments should ________.
A. change the way companies do business
B. make effective policies for the green economy
C. actively attend Rio+20 Earth Summit to be held in Brazil
D. encourage businesses to invest more on sustainable energies
62. What is the author’s attitude towards the coming green economy?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Negative. D. Worried.

At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (冲动),but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim (苗条的) executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious society like the U. S. , thin is “in”, fat is “out”.
It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for America’s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations,
the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising every day.
63. From the passage we can infer taboo is _______.
A. a strong desire to do something strange or terrible
B. a crime committed on impulse
C. behavior considered unacceptable in society’s eyes
D. an unfavorable impression left on other people
64. Based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude “being fat” _______.
A. will always remain a taboo
B. is not considered a taboo by most people
C. has long been a taboo
D. may no longer be a taboo some day
65. In the U. S., thin is “in”, fat is “out”, this means _______.
A. thin is “inside”, fat is “outside”
B. thin is “diligent”, fat is “lazy”
C. thin is “youthful”, fat is “spiritless”
D. thin is “fashionable”, fat is “unfashionable”
66. The main reason the passage gives for why so many Americans are exercising regularly is _______.
A. their changed life-style
B. their eagerness to stay thin and youthful
C. their appreciation of the importance of exercise
D. the encouragement they have received from their companies

A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant.
Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life. Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words, “Good morning, I want to go home.” It is the first time a voice box and windpipe (气管) have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted.
Ms. Jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery in 1999. Since then, she has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box.
In October, surgeons at the University of California Davis Medical Centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body. In an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into Ms. Jensen’s throat and the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves.
Professor Martin Birchall from University College London, who was part of the surgery team, said, “We’ve learned that we can repair nerves to make even very complex organs function again. It’ll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important as tissue engineering develops.” A voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not life saving. Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system for the rest of their lives. These drugs can reduce life expectancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures. One of the reasons Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas (胰腺) transplant four years ago. Professor Peter Belafsky, part of the surgical team, said, “Brenda was an exceptional (例外的)
candidate for the transplant because she was highly motivated.” Anyone who’s met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of the many physical challenges she’s faced over her lifetime.
67. The voice transplant operation is of great significance because it proves that _______.
A. facial transplants are now easier to perform
B. nerve repairing is a breakthrough in tissue engineering
C. new medical technology is always possible to discover
D. the drugs taken after the operation help the patient live longer
68. Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant because she was _______.
A. experienced and brave
B. seriously ill and motivated
C. determined and realistic
D. strong-willed and prepared
69. Which of the following is the right time order of the event?
a. Ms. Jensen received a voice box transplant operation.
b. Ms. Jensen began to take immune controlling drugs.
c. Doctors removed the voice box from a donor body.
d. Ms. Jensen had a kidney-pancreas transplant operation.
A. acdb B. dbca C. bdca D. cabd
70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. First Words from New Voice Box
B. Transplant Saves A Woman’s Life
C. Overcoming Obstacles to Speak Again

写作指导：
本篇书面表达的主题是遇到困难时，要转换思想，用积极乐观的态度来应对，不然只会让事情越来越糟。因此写作的重点在于积极应对困难。同时，恰当使用过渡词以及复杂的句式，注意语言表达要注意正确、准确，行文流畅。
It can safely say that most of us fill our day with negativity from the moment we get out of bed. Then we wonder why our day is not the best it can be. It’s advisable, however, that we think more positively.
I will never forget an afternoon when my bus was stuck in rush traffic on my way home. Desperately wanting to have a look at what my father could have bought for my birthday, I was in so worried a state that I was about to lose my temper. Fortunately enough, I didn’t. I made it positive by saying that this was awesome and I could spare this time to clear my head from study. Therefore, when I got home I was in a great mood and ready to play with my family and my birthday gift, a new bicycle.
From my experience, I draw a conclusion that making the choice to stay positive is an easy task though it takes commitment and will not happen over night. A positive attitude towards bad experiences can help make you happier and stronger and the path to success clearer in the long
run.
