To live is to trust. That’s especially 36 for someone like me, blind from birth. As a child, when I was feeling frustrated by my 37 or if I ran into some other problem I couldn’t 38 well on my own, I’d go to my father. “ 39 inside,” he’d say “Search deep within yourself, and find that 40 where you can trust yourself.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, a moment came when I needed it as I 45 had before. I was at my computer 46 somewhere above me the loudest explosion I’d never heard 47 . Shouts and 48 came from outside my door. The floor listed like the deck of a ship, and the only thing to do was go to that place 49 myself, and pray for the guidance. I took a deep 50 . I tried to listen. I headed for the stairs. I’d never walked the 78 51 down before, but I made it. I survived the 52 of the skyscrapers.
There are still so many 53 questions about what happened that day—not the 54 of which is how I managed to get down all the flights when everything went wrong. The one thing I know for certain is that my dad was 55 . Even when things are at their darkest, trust yourself and stay calm.

I expect the travel of the future to become less physical, more mental. Through the use of technology, you’ll be able to let your brain experience the sensations of a new place without actual going there. Robots and computer simulation（模仿）will enable you to visit remote exotic places without ever leaving home---the wreckage of the Titanic, the Galapagos Island, even the moon.
As an oceanographer, I’ve spent decades developing robots to explore the depths, and now we’re putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a cooperative effort between industry, science, and educators that’s designed to be a world classroom for children. In auditoriums throughout the country, we bring kids together and transmit back to them on large screens our live explorations of far-flung areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they truly participate. They have the sensation of really being at the site with us---through the “eyes”, “ears”, and motions of the robot.
This year we’re taking the project to the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos are an exceedingly fragile environment, so fragile that only 60,000 people are allowed to visit them each year. But with JASON we will be able to let some 300,000 children experience those unique islands.
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to an entirely new kind of travel. In the next 10 or 15 years I foresee people having rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate other environments. I like to call these rooms “home domes”---miniature theatres with wrap-around screens and sophisticated equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert, or a forest, or a meadow in high mountains.
Today, much of the world’s population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with abundant wealth and time can see only a fraction of the earth’s sights. But this new era of travel will cost so much less in both time and money that many more people will be exposed to a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will help protect our planet. You can’t take large groups of tourists trooping up to look at Dian Fossey’s gorillas. But a small robot can get very close to a silverback and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.
I like to use this analogy（类比）to compare traditional travel with future travel: riding a horse is wonderful, but I don’t need to ride one to work anymore. That’s how I feel about traditional travel. Sometimes I still might want to hop on a plane and see a place firsthand, but sometimes I may simply want to walk into my home dome and take the trip from there.
58. Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article?
A. Protecting fragile environments like the Galapagos Islands.
B. Building home domes to meet people’s desire of travelling
C. Traveling globally without even leaving home in the future.
D. Owning rooms called “home domes” to be put into reality.
59. According to the article, simulated travel _______.
A. is a piece of equipment made for traveling
B. provides virtual access to actual traveling
C. has a negative effect on future environment
D. will be available in around fifty years’ time
60. Which question is NOT answered in the article?
A. Why is the “home dome” designed and produced?
B. When might a “home dome” be available to us?
C. What will be like in a “home dome” in future?
D. How much does a “home dome” probably cost?
C
Boston school officials plan to notify parents at four schools that their children may have drunk water tainted with lead from drinking fountains that were mistakenly turned on before water testing was complete.
The fountains were active for as little as several hours to as long as three weeks.
Boston Public Schools recently launched a $300,000 project to repair and upgrade plumbing(管道系统) so that fountain water could be restored at six buildings that had been using bottled water.
The facilities were selected for the pilot program because prior tests indicated lead levels that were below state and federal standards, school officials said.
However, testing conducted in recent months found elevated lead levels in at least one fountain at four of the six schools, namely Mather Elementary School in Dorchester, Lee K-8 School in Dorchester, Curley K-8 School in Jamaica Plain, Another Course to College in Brighton. Lead contamination was also found at a fifth school, but officials don’t believe anyone drank from the fountains.
School officials had previously told The Globe that none of the new fountains had been turned on since being installed. But they had learned in recent days that the fountains had been mistakenly activated, they said Wednesday.
Officials blamed a lack of communication between employees of the school district’s facilities department and a third-party contractor.
The fountains are now shut off in all six schools. Bottled water is being provided there instead, officials said.
The four schools where children may have drunk water with high lead levels are: Mather Elementary School, Lee K-8 School, Curley K-8 School, and Another Course to College.
“BPS is communicating with families at the schools about these circumstances and their options if they are concerned about potential exposure to lead in drinking water,” said a statement from Boston Public Schools.
School officials said automated phone calls were to be made to families at the affected schools Thursday afternoon and that letters would also be mailed home.
In the meantime, school officials continue to investigate why water from the new fountains has high lead levels, a process that may cause the project to run over budget.
Officials had hoped the new fountains would produce long-term savings by allowing the schools to drop their costly reliance on bottled water. Most Boston schools use bottled water because of past lead concerns. The city expects to spend $415,000 this school year alone to provide bottled water.
Four other schools that were still using tap water were recently found to have high lead levels in fountains. The affected fountains were shut off and replaced with bottled water.
Children are particularly vulnerable when it comes to lead. Exposure has been linked to IQ deficits, shortened attention spans, behavioral problems, hearing damage, stunted growth, and lowered birth weight.
Officials said they were also contacting parents at Trotter Innovation School in Dorchester and Boston Green Academy in Brighton, the two other schools in the fountain restoration project.
At Trotter, high lead levels were found, but officials believe no one drank from the fountains.
At Boston Green Academy all six fountains tested had lead levels below the state’s standards.
61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The fountains involved in the incident are now no longer in use.
B. None of those newly-installed fountains have yet been turned on so far.
C. Long term exposure to high lead levels can damage one’s immune system.
D. Fountains tested in all six schools had lead levels above state standards.
62. According to the passage, what will make the project overspend budget money?
A. To find out actual causes of high lead levels
B. To launch and upgrade plumbing in schools
C. To have fountains replaced with bottled water
D. To pay health services staff to answer questions
63. The officials had fountain restoration project carried out for the purpose of _______.
A. boycotting bottled water B. lowering lead levels
C. using new fountains D. cutting expenses
64. The passage is written mainly to _______.
A. disclose the problem of high lead-level fountain water
B. warn kids of potential danger of drinking fountain water
C. report lead-affected water found at Boston schools
D. urge official to accelerate the fountain restoration project
D
November 20, 1924
Dear Scott:
I think you have every kind of right to be proud of this book ---The Great Gatsby（了不起的盖茨比）. It is an extraordinary book, suggestive of all sorts of thoughts and moods. You adopted exactly the right method of telling it, that of employing a narrator who is more of a spectator（旁观者）than an actor: this puts the reader upon a point of observation on a higher level than that on which the characters stand and at a distance that gives perspective.
I could go on praising the book, but points of criticism are more important now. I think you are right in feeling some looseness in chapters six and seven, and I don’t know how to suggest a remedy. I hardly doubt that you will find one and I am only writing to say that I think it does need something to hold up here to the pace set, and following. I have only two actual criticisms:
One is that among a set of characters marvelously vivid and vital—I would know Tom Buchanan if I met him on the street and would avoid him—Gatsby is somewhat vague. The reader’s eyes can never quite focus upon him, his outlines are dim. This may be somewhat of an artistic intention, but I think it is mistaken. Couldn’t he be physically described as distinctly as the others, and couldn’t you add one or two characteristics like the use of that phrase “old sport”—not verbal, but physical ones, perhaps. I think that for some reason or other a reader gets an idea that Gatsby is a much older man than he is. But this would be avoided if on his first appearance he was seen as vividly as Daisy and Tom are, for instance—and I do not think your scheme would be weakened if you made him so.
The other point is also about Gatsby: his career must remain mysterious, of course. But in the end you make it pretty clear that his wealth came through his connection with Wolfsheim. Now almost all readers are going to be puzzled by his having all this wealth and demand an explanation. To give a distinct and definite one would be, of course, completely absurd. It did occur to me,
though, that you might here and there insert some phrases, and possibly incidents that would suggest that he was in some active way mysteriously engaged. You do have him called on the telephone, but couldn’t he be seen once or twice consulting at his parties with people of some sort of mysterious significance, from the political, the gambling, the sporting world, or whatever it may be. If some sort of business activity of his were simply suggested, it would lend further probability to that part of the story.
There is one other point: in giving deliberately Gatsby’s biography, when he gives it to the narrator, you do withdraw from the method of the narrative in some degree, for otherwise almost everything is told, and beautifully told, in the regular flow of it. But you can’t avoid the biography altogether. I thought you might find ways to let the truth of some of his claims like his army career come out, bit by bit, in the course of actual narrative.
The general brilliant quality of the book makes me ashamed to make even these criticisms. The amount of meaning you get into a sentence, the dimensions and intensity of the impression you make a paragraph carry, are most extraordinary. It seems, in reading, a much shorter book than it is, but it carries the mind through a series of experiences that one would think would require a book of three times its length.
You once told me you were not a natural writer—my God! You have plainly mastered the craft, of course; but you needed far more than craftsmanship for this.
As ever,——Maxwell E. Perkins
65. The author wrote this letter in order to _______.
A. praise Scott had written a magnificent book
B. criticize Scott’s description of Gatsby
C. help Scott improve his book
D. discuss the writing skills applied by Scott
66. How many suggestions did Perkins offer in his letter?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
67. By “I would know Tom Buchanan if I met him on the street and would avoid him,” Perkins intends to say _______.
A. he does not like Tom Buchanan
B. he has never met Tom Buchanan before
C. some characters in the book are described very well
D. Gatsby is mysterious compared to Tom Buchanan
68. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the method of telling the story disconnects readers from the book
B. Scott might deliberately describes Gatsby in an unclear way
C. a clear explanation will help readers understand Gatsby’s business
D. the book is too short for the amount of content delivered in it
69. What does “You have plainly mastered the craft, of course; but you needed far more than craftsmanship for this.” mean?
A. Scott is too modest about his talents.
B. Scott is a born talented writer.
C. Scott needs to improve his writing skills.
D. Scott has to better himself in other aspects.
70. In writing this letter, Perkins appears to be _______.
A. polite and straightforward B. proud but insightful
C. modest and uncertain D. sharp and definite

Overcome the Complexity Within You
Although it doesn’t show up clearly in any personality test, some people seem to be likely to create complexity. Instead of cutting to the heart of an issue and narrowing down projects, they allow the scope to keep expanding; and instead of making decisions, they always wait for more data and better analysis.
People of “complexifiers” are characterized with these behaviors, always leaving complexity in their wake and making it more difficult for colleagues, customers, and even family members to get things done. Here’s a brief example:
Due to changing market conditions, a billion-dollar consumer products company was starting to see decline in market share and profitability. To turn things around, an industry expert named Phillip was brought in as a new general manager.
Phillip turned out to be a classic complexifier. At every meeting he asked for extra data and scolded his people for not knowing the answers to every detailed question he could think of. And although he was dissatisfied with some members, he kept telling HR that he wanted more time to evaluate them, so no changes were made. Eventually he reorganized the unit into a team that most of his people didn’t fully understand him. The result was that market share and profitability continued to decline.
Obviously Phillip represents an extreme example of a complexifier. But all of us fall into this category from time to time. If you want to learn how to think more like a “simplifier,” here are four questions that you can ask yourself and/or discuss with your team:
How much data is enough? Complexifiers always want more information, with the hope that the next bit or byte will answer all questions and hold the key to success. Simplifiers understand that there will never be complete data and that it’s necessary to create hypotheses (假设) and action plans based on an intuitive sense of how much is enough.
Have we agreed on the key issues? Rather than get locked in to a few things, complexifiers ask their people to keep multiple balls in the air. Simplifiers on the other hand narrow the focus to a few key things and give their people permission to stop doing things that don’t make the cut.
Do we have an efficient process for rapid review and course correction? Complexifiers like to spend their time in long meetings, sorting through reports and analyses. Simplifiers have focused reviews of the key priorities and hold people accountable for their commitments and results. They also learn as they go, continually testing their hypotheses about what should be done against the reality of what’s working and what is not. This allows them to shift course whenever necessary.
Can we explain our plan to others? Complexifiers have a hard time communicating their plans to colleagues and customers, relying on intricate (复杂的) charts and diagrams rather than simple, straightforward messages. Simplifiers tell stories that can get across the situation, the goals, and the plans — in a way that helps people understand what they need to do and how their work
fits with everything else.
Some people are naturals at simplification. But for the rest of us, asking these questions can help keep us honest about whether we are avoiding complexity, or creating it.

Possible version:
Various factors to blame, people of different occupations in contemporary society are more or less suffering sleep disorders, as a consequence of which their average work-day sleeping hours get shortened. (30 words)
Shockingly, due to constant stress and tremendous amounts of homework, high school kids are among the sufferers. Take me as an example: Not only do I have to rise early, but I also need to face frequent tests and exercises once out of bed. Therefore, burning midnight oil can never be too common for me. How can I ensure myself enough sleep?
To solve the problem, effective measures are to be worked out. Personally, having a better management of time is far more necessary. Make first things always first. That way, your work
and play can be well balanced. Furthermore, a proper diet will surely count. Only with high efficiency and right food can you guarantee a satisfactory daily sleep. (120 words)

57．B。细节理解题。根据第5点规定可知宾馆允许举行10人以下的聚会，所以B项正确。
B篇
这是一篇说明文，介绍了利用高科技提供虚拟旅游经历的研究。
58．C。文章主旨题。全文介绍了利用机器人和仿真技术使人们在家中就能够体验到如同身临其境的旅游经历。
59．B。细节理解题。根据文章第二段和倒数第二段描述，“模仿”旅游就是给实际旅游提供虚拟的途径。
60. D细节理解题。文中没有提及“home dome”的价格。
C篇
本文讲述的是波士顿部分中学装设的自来水管道发现铅污染的相关事件报告。
61．A。细节理解题。根据第8段“The fountains are now shut off in all six schools.”可以得知A选项为正确答案。另外，根据第6段“But they had learned in recent days that the fountains had been mistakenly activated, they said Wednesday.”判断B选项错误。另外，倒数第3段所谈及的铅超标的危害没有提到免疫系统损坏，所以C选项错误。还有，根据最后一段的“At Boston Green Academy all six fountains tested had lead levels below the state’s standards.”判断D选项错误。
62．A。细节理解题。根据第12段“In the meantime, school officials continue to probe why water from the new fountains has high lead levels, a process that may cause the project to run over budget.”可以得知。
63．D。细节理解题。根据第13段第1-2行“Officials had hoped the new fountains would produce long-term savings by allowing the schools to drop their costly reliance on bottled water.”可以得知。
64．C。综合全文内容理解可判定该篇文章报道的是“更多的波士顿学校发现饮用水铅污染”。
D篇
这是一封柏金斯写给美国作家斯科特•菲兹杰拉德信函，内容是关于修改小说《了不起的盖茨比》的建议。
65．C。文章主旨题。纵观全文柏金斯在赞扬《了不起的盖茨比》一书的同时，重点提出了自己的修改意见，所以C项正确。
66．B。细节理解题。柏金斯提出了关于盖茨比的形象描写、财富来源和生平经历三方面的意见。
67．C。推理判断题。画线句说柏金斯在路上遇到小说中的人物Tom Buchanan会主动避开，作用是为了说明前一句小说中的一组人物形象既生动又重要。
68．B。推理判断题。根据第三段“This may be somewhat of an artistic intention”，可以推知菲兹杰拉德可能是出于艺术创作的需要，把盖茨比的形象描写得比较模糊，故选B项。
69．D。推理判断题。最后一句柏金斯表扬了菲兹杰拉德的写作技巧高超，同时有指出菲兹杰拉德还需要在技巧之外多加磨练，所以D项正确。
70．A 。观点态度题。纵观全文柏金斯多出赞扬了菲兹杰拉德的高超技艺，又客气委婉地提出了自己的建议，故选A项。

本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。（参见附录）。评分时，首先根据文章的内容和语言（内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的数量和准确性、上下文的连贯性及语言的得体性）初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定最后给分。

2．语言形式错误分为大错和小错。大错包括“时态、语态、主谓一致”等，小错包括“单词拼写错误、小品词用法错误”等。如出现1个大错，从总分中减去1分。如出现1个小错，从总分中减去半分。如层次不清楚，写作没分段，从总分中减去2分。如果没有使用较复杂的句子结构，评分时将分数降低1个档次。
（二）内容要点方面：
★本次内容赋分从下面几个方面：
1、描述图表内容（6分）：

听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20题。
Text 10
During my last year of school, I was given the opportunity to visit an advisor and I drove her crazy with my choices.
My first choice was a chocolate tester. I discovered that chocolate testers earn a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate testers don’t just sit around eating chocolate all day, they are also involved in the marketing and promotion of the product. I finally gave it up.
Next, I thought of becoming a football referee. I had loved football from a young age, but I couldn’t play well. Anyway, it seems that referees must be able to run 2.5 miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. On top of that, only after many years of experience–and if they are lucky–do they get the chance to referee big professional matches. So, my dream of showing David Beckham a red card disappeared.
Finally, I had this perfect idea of becoming a dog stylist after I realized how much money our dog stylist was being paid. However, once, while she was styling our Philipo, I noticed he tried to bite her. As you can imagine, that really put me off.
All this research made me realize I had a gift for collecting information, so I had decided to become a journalist.
