The dinghy(救生橡皮船)，used to take Richard Smith,21，to his yacht(快艇)，was discovered empty，floating in seas off the Caribbean island.An air and sea search was carried out but he has still not been discovered. Richard's mother，Bicknell，said from her home in Hampshire，“It's so much coincidence(巧合)．Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached(附着)to a poem，which included the date of his disappearance.” “Now，it's very strange because all they have found is Richard's dinghy.We need to know this time what has happened one way or another.If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程)．” In November 1996，Mr.Smith's father，Charlie，was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife.They lost radio contact with the shore and they，together with their yacht were never seen again，and their disappearance remains a mystery(神秘)． Richard is described a talented(有才能的)and experienced sailor who has crewed for the champion ocean racer.He had sailed to the Caribbean in November to crew ocean racing yachts for entertainment.He ended the evening drinking in the Abracbabra bar but left after local police closed it for being too noisy.

B A few years ago, pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results. People thought that poetry was the new rock ‘n’ roll. However, despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets, poetry and pop music didn't seem to mix. But are they really so different? If you look back at the origins of poetry, there is a strong connection between poems and popular music. In Greek mythology, for example, the muse(女神) Erato is pictured with a lyre( 里 拉 琴 ) in her hand, and looks just like the ancestor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar. In addition, the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today. But despite their common origins, there are many differences between poetry and pop music. Pop songs are always written for a public performance, whereas poetry often isn't. And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry. This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words. Pop lyrics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing. This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart. Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings. Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship, such as falling in love or breaking up. The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in “serious” poetry. However, talented performers like Paul McCartney, or newer stars like Robbe Williams, often give simple songs more expression when they perform them. And some of the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as poetry. So although pop music and poetry have many differences, they do have one important thing in common—the power to make us think about how we feel. 25.What did Murray Lachlan Young do a few years ago? A．He had poems and rock music combined. B．He surprised people with his beautiful style of writing. C．He wrote beautiful music for some famous poems. D．He invented a new kind of poem for his fans. 26 ． According to the article, the difference between poetry and pop songs is that ________. A．there is more rhythm in pop songs than poetry B．pop songs are more difficult to understand than poetry C．some words in pop songs are repeated over and over again D．pop songs are not always performed before audience 27．According to Paragraph 4, which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Songs and poems are equally beautiful. B．The main theme of songs is about relationship. C．Songs tell stories but poems tell about feelings. D．Songs and poems express a similar message. 28．What does the writer say about talented performers today? A．They look at poetry to find ideas for their songs. B．They think their songs are more serious than poetry. C．They give songs more meaning when they sing them. D．They consider themselves to be more popular than poets. C Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high － tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted”was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol. The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern. I see people trapped in a pathological(病态的) relationship with time－sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money. What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology. Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology. 29．The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A．advantage B．attraction C．adaption D．attempt 30．From the passage, technology companies aim to ________. A ． attract people to buy their products B ． provide the latest information C．improve people's quality of life D．deal with cultural diseases 31．It can be inferred from this passage that people ________. A．consider too much technology wonderful B．have realized the harm of high－tech devices C．can regain freedom without high－tech devices D．may enjoy life better without overused technology 32．What's the author's attitude towards the overusing of high－tech devices? A．Neutral. B．Skeptical. C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic. D Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels ( 松 鼠 ), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect. They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut ( 黑 胡 桃 ) trees. The black walnuts is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests. Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate( 估 计 ) that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”． Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause. 33．The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________. A. find out how squirrels collect walnuts B. learn squirrels' influence on black walnut trees C. do something to get rid of squirrels D. save the forests in the American state of Indiana 34．The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels lies in ________. A. the way they gather the walnut B. the time they have winter sleep C. the place they have winter sleep D. the place they store the walnuts 35.What could be inferred from this text? A．Agricultural in Indiana has been well developed. B．Gray squirrles will be replaced by red squirrels in Indiana. C．The spread of red squirrels will do harm to walnuts trees in Indiana. D．The government will take some measures to protect black walnut trees. 第二部分七选五： Mongo American artists, or artists of the 20th century, Grandma Moses surely ranks among the most famous and recognized. __36__ Grandma Moses probably owes most of her legendary status to the fact that her art was exactly the opposite of what most critics considered fine art.

After eight years of meeting with dead ends, 23­year­old Stacey felt that she would never see her mother again. However, Stacey's boyfriend Martin encouraged her to create a message_board made out of cardboard with her mother's name on it along with details such as her birth date and the hospital where she was born. Stacey's friend then took a photograph of her holding the message board and posted it on her Facebook page. Ten hours after posting the picture on her Facebook profile ( 个 人 资 料 ), the image had been shared 100,000 times, and the next day Stacey was contacted by Kerianne Davies, a friend she had known in her teenage years. Stacey was told her mother had changed her surname and after a quick search, found her mother's Facebook page and sent her a message. Within an hour Brenda had replied and the pair exchanged phone numbers. Brenda said she was delighted to finally have been able to see Stacey again.“I regret losing contact with my daughter，” said Brenda. “I thought about her a lot, particularly at times like Christmas. I tried looking for her but I always came to a dead end. When I received the Facebook message from Stacey, I just couldn't believe it. She was so beautiful and I just couldn't wait to meet her.
