27．（6 分）WHEN you think of a typical American，whom do you picture？A pretty blond white
American like Taylor Swift ？ Or a handsome black American like President Barack Obama or
basketball star Kobe Bryant？In fact，there was a time when the average American looked like none of
these people．
Back in the year 1500，the average American was a brown﹣skinned hunter﹣gatherer who probably
rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins．Today，these people﹣who usually identify
themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iriquois，Apache and Navajo﹣are broadly referred
to as " Native Americans"，"American Indians" or simply" Indians"
There's a chance that you've never even heard of American Indians．That's because there aren't very 天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
many left．When the European settlement of North America began，there were fierce conflicts between
the settlers from overseas and these native peoples ．After the British government and military were
expelled （赶走） in the Revolutionary War，conflicts with natives continued as the states were created
that would later make up the US．In these conflicts，millions of natives were killed．
In 1830，President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act．This act required all Indians to
migrate to the west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US．American Indians
were treated as a military "enemy" until 1924，when the few Indians still alive at that point were granted
US citizenship．That was the first time that the US government formally recognized Indians as human
beings．
While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one，these peoples' legacies （遗产） are
still felt every day in the US．Many US geographical names come from Indian languages，such as Ohio
，Topeka，Kansas，and the Potomac River．At the same time，there are numerous successful academics
and other important US leaders who are descended from Indians．And nowadays，more and more history
classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of
the US．I was lucky enough to take such a history class in high school．I sincerely believe that if we
want a better future，we must look carefully and honestly at the past．
（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？
A．Few American Indians have achieved success due to their poor living conditions．
B．Today few Americans know about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US．
C．In the past，most of the American Indians lived in the states of Ohio and Kansas．
D．Since the year 1924，American Indians have been recognized as US citizens．
（2）What does the article mainly talk about？
A．The sad story of American Indians．
B．How the American Indians succeeded in the US．
C．What a typical American is like．
D．American Indians'e conomic impact on the US．
（3）How does the passage mainly develop？
A．By providing examples．
B．By making comparisons．天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/

C．By following the order of time．
D．By following the order of importance．
28．（6 分）America's love﹣hate relationship with China develops speedily． The latest setback in the
bilateral relation is another fearsome "China Scare"． Actually， though， in America it is nothing new
． The United States' politics seems to need a "China Scare" from time to time．
Recall that nearly a storm started around the book The Coming Conflict with China in 2007． Its
author was two US journalists formerly working in Beijing． The debate was anything but positive about
the Sino﹣US relationship． It is true that China's strategic aims in Asia are not completely the same
with those of the US． However， the authors seemed to worry far too much by putting much emphasis
on China's military strength．
American interest groups are afraid of competing with Chinese imports， because more and more
American consumers begin to find Chinese goods a much cheaper choice． So they held this political
view that China's rapid growth is not a blessing for all concerned． Instead it was being thought of as a
force threatening other Asia economies and America's too．
"President Obama encourages the transfer of money， industrial capacity and technology to China
that will help its development but still threaten the US and its allies"， charges William Hawkins， a
supporter for protecting US business and industry． Then there's also people saying that China's gain is
basically on everyone else's loss． An increasingly globalized and modernized nation of 1.3 billion is not
a win﹣win for almost everyone． It's a losing situation for everyone， but for China．
That's absurd， I think．
Sure， China's neighbors in Asia are worried about Chinese competition and they know they have to
work harder in order to compete with China． However， it is unnecessarily sending scare by imagining
that economic growth will be greatly reduced， domestic stock markets will get ruined and employment
levels will become lower． Certainly， China's economic progress will cause some tense moments． But
， on the whole， Asia and the rest of the world will benefit from China's success．
Some people on the mainland who want to protect Chinese industries would interfere to slow down
market opening． On the other hand， the Obama administration's decision to cut down on import
quotas on foreign steel brought about worldwide anger ． That decision has made US strategic and
economic allies in Asia and Europe angrier at America than at anything China has done lately． So who
is the greater threat﹣China or the United States﹣to the world economy？ Let's just say that what 天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
continues to be needed in America's relationship with China is not another "red scare"， but the three
facts all too often missing： common sense， political maturity and intellectual honesty．
（1）Which of the following is not a true statement？
A． China Scare is a fairly fresh phenomenon．
B． Sino﹣US relationship has aroused a negative debate．
C． Opinions on Chinese competition in economic progress vary．
D． The world will generally benefit from China's economic growth．
（2）William Hawkin reacted to President Obama's policy on China．
A． reasonably
B． objectively
C． respectfully
D． negatively
（3）Which may best serve as the title of the above passage？
A． America's Love﹣hate Relationship with China
B． Debate on Sino﹣US Relationship
C． Benefits or Threats from China and US？
D． China Scare， Is It Real？
29．（10 分）Rice wine has a history of more than 2，000 years as China's favorite liquor and has been
credited with having enhanced the health， among others， of the late Deng Xiaoping． But now native
rice wine finds itself competing for market share with western style fruit wine．
Both foreign traders and local producers have in recent months observed a remarkable rise in the
popularity of wine in China， at least in the country's more prosperous cities and coastal regions． There
are several reasons for this． One has been a sustained effort by the Chinese government to limit the use
of staple grains （主食） for things as frivolous as spirits or beer． Another has been a lot of reports
filtering out （过滤） via Hong Kong and Taiwan， citing scientific findings about red wine's good
effects on health in general and manliness in particular． Mr． St． Pierre， who imports western wines
to China， says that his red wines outsell his whites by 20 to 1， leading him to conclude that Chinese
drinkers are indeed choosing their beverages with good health in mind．
Mr． St． Pierre is toasting increases in sales of 25% a month． Carl Crook， another importer， 天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
recalls that， when he began selling wine in China four years ago， his clients were mainly "well﹣
heeled and desperate expatriates（侨民）"． His company， Montrose， now sells more than 1，000
cases a month and expects sales to double this year， despite taxes and duties which add 121% to the
price of imported wines． Its catalogue ranges from cheap Californian wines selling wholesale for 69
Yuan per bottle， to Château Lafitte Rothschild．
Domestic producers are also cottoning on to the joys of the grape． A few Chinese wineries are
increasingly successful， in both international competitions and the domestic market． China's largest
wine producer， Dynasty， has overcome quality control problems to produce a well﹣received 1995
Chardonnay． The Huadong Winery in Qingdao （a city still more famous for its beer） has also
yielded a successful Chardonnay． Local bottling of foreign wines， local production， and if they
materialize， long rumored cuts in tariff duties（关税） may soon help bring the joys of wine to
greater numbers of Chinese．
For the country's growing class of the newly rich， however， a ridiculously high price tag is all part
of the package． In recent years， China's conspicuous（引人注目的） consumers have made the
purchase of overpriced wines one of their favorite ways of showing off wealth， in some cases buying
bottles priced at several hundred dollars only to smash them on the floor． There is now a new trend that
may strike the world's wine merchants as an even greater outrage． Some Chinese wine drinkers have
decided that a good claret（干红） or Chardonnay goes down more smoothly when mixed with Sprite．
（1）Grape wines become more popular than the traditional rice wine in China for all the following
reasons EXCEPT that ．
A． rice wine consumes so many grains that its production has been discouraged．
B． it is believed that grape wine does more good to health than rice wine．
C． drinking grape wine is a symbol of wealth and therefore is a fashion for some people．
D． grape wines are often less expensive and so more people can afford them．
（2）The word "frivolous" in Para． 2 probably means ．
A． significant．
B． precious．
C． authentic．
D． unimportant．天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
（3）Mr． St． Pierre and Mr． Carl Crook are cited as examples to show ．
A． market share of importing grape wines is increasing in China．
B． well﹣heeled and desperate expatriates like to drink grape wines．
C． Chinese drinkers choose their company's wine because of their boast．
D． domestic producers also realize the joys of the grape wines．
（4）Which of the following is an opinion of the author's？
A． Domestic producers do not like their foreign counterparts．
B． Local bottling of foreign wines is not encouraged by local government in China．
C． The extremely high tariff duties on wine importing still affect the more popular consumption of
foreign wines．
D． Most people are satisfied with the prices of foreign wines．
（5）The author sounds in the last paragraph．
A． tolerant
B． angry
C． impatient
D． conspicuous
30．（8 分）Christmas was a quiet affair when I grew up． There were just my parents and I． I vowed that
someday I'd marry and have six children， and at Christmas my house would vibrate with energy and
love．
I found the man who shared my dream， but we had not reckoned on the possibility of infertility．
Undaunted， we applied for adoption， and then he arrived．
We called him Our Christmas Boy because he came to us during that season of joy． Then nature
surprised us again． We added two biological children to the family﹣not as many as we had hoped for，
but three made an entirely satisfactory crowd．
As Our Christmas Boy grew， he made it clear that only he had the expertise to select and decorate
the Christmas tree． He rushed the season， starting his gift list in November． He pressed us into
singing carols， our froglike voices contrasting with his musical gift of perfect pitch． Each holiday he
stirred us up， leading us through a round of merry chaos．
Then， on his 26th Christmas， he left us in a car accident on his way home to his wife and infant
daughter． But first he had stopped by the family home to decorate our tree．天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
Grief﹣stricken， his father and I sold our home， where memories clung to every room， and
moved away． Seventeen years later， we grew old enough to return home， and settled into a small
quiet house， like the house of my childhood． Our other son and daughter had married and begun their
own Christmas traditions in another part of the country．
One day， I heard the doorbell ring． There stood our granddaughter， and in her gray﹣green eyes
I saw the reflection of Our Christmas Boy． Behind her， lugging a large pine tree， came her mother
and stepfather． They swept past us in a flurry of laughter； and then decorated the tree．
"You'll recognize the ornaments，" said my former daughter﹣in﹣law． "They were his． I save
them for you．"
When I murmured that we hadn't had a tree for 17 years， our granddaughter said， "Then it's time
to have one!"
They asked us to join them the next morning for church and for dinner at their home．
Our granddaughter ordered， "I'm singing the solo and I want you to be there．"
We had long ago given up the poignant Christmas services， but now， we sat rigid in the front pew
， fighting back tears． Our granddaughter's magnificent voice soared， clear and true， in perfect pitch
． How her father would have relished that moment!
We had been alerted that there would be a lot of people for dinner﹣﹣﹣but 35! I could not sort out
who belonged to whom， but it didn't matter． They all belonged to each other． It occurred to me that
a true family is not always one's own flesh and blood． It is a climate of the heart． Had it not been for
our adopted son， we would not now be surrounded by caring strangers．
Later， our granddaughter asked us to come along with her to a place she likes to go．
In the foothills there was his grave． As we stood by the headstone in the chilly but somehow
comforting silence， we were not prepared for our granddaughter's next move． Once more that day her
voice， so like her father's， lifted in song， and the mountainside echoed on and on into infinity．
When the last pure note had faded， I felt a sense of peace， of the continuity of life， of renewed
faith and hope． The real meaning of Christmas had been restored to us．
（1）The author swore that he would when she grew up．
A． give birth to six children at least by marrying
B． crowd her house with energy and love by having more children天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/

C． find a man with the same dream to create a warm home

A． Because they were unable to have a child
B． Because they wished to be blessed by God
C． Because they adopted the boy on Christmas
D． Because the boy was actually a gift for Christmas
（3）The author and her husband sold their house in order to ．
A． show their grief of losing the son

31 ． （ 20 分 ） On a visit to Sussex on February 16th ， David Cameron announced that ， if the
Conservatives win the election on May 7th， young people who are out of work， education or training
for six months will have to do unpaid community work to get benefits． The speech was part of a pre﹣
election push to show the Conservative Party is tough on welfare reform （though critics insist such
schemes rarely promote employment）． "The well﹣worn path﹣from the school gate down to the job
centre and on to a life on benefits﹣has got to be wiped away，" said the prime minister．
The welfare bill has fallen a bit as unemployment drops． But the main attempt to reform working﹣
age benefits﹣known as universal credit （UC）﹣has gone away． In 2011 Mr Cameron said it would
be part of "the most ambitious and fundamental changes to the welfare system since it began"． The
latest stage of UC was also started from February 16th， but its future is not certain at all．
UC combines six working﹣age benefits， including tax credits， housing benefit and job﹣seeker's 天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
allowance， into a single payment． It aims to provide the poorest Britons with a ladder to climb out of
welfare dependency by simplifying a system that provides perverse incentives（反常动力） to stay on
benefits rather than work． Its champion， Iain Duncan Smith， the secretary for work and pensions，
claims it is as much about changing culture as about saving money．
The project has crawled along， hitting many obstacles on the way， such as an overly ambitious
timetable that had to be reset in 2013 and an IT system that had to be abandoned， costing tens of
millions of pounds． Mr Duncan Smith debated often with George Osborne， the harder﹣nosed
chancellor of the exchequer（财政大臣）．
Other problems have come from technical complexities， such as linking the tax system's computers
with those at the department for work and pensions． Critics say that moving all claims online is foolish
when many people do not even have access to a computer． Similarly foolish， they say， are plans to
pay benefits monthly rather than weekly to people who cannot budget， and to give housing benefit to
applicants who may waste it rather than directly to the landlords of their government﹣funded housing．
Defenders say the poor need to be given more responsibility． "The current benefits system is just ‘
process and pay'，" says Christian Guy， Mr Duncan Smith's former speechwriter， now head of the
Centre for Social Justice． "UC makes the assumption of ambition．"
This week's limited demonstration will mean that 250 job centres﹣roughly one in three﹣will offer
UC． But these numbers refer to a system used for single recipients with no dependents． The bigger
"digital" system， covering complex applicants with children， has not yet been tested． "The reason
this week's announcement means nothing is that we are still not sure if the system works for most people
，" says Jonathan Portes of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research． "They're producing
a system they are not going to use．" The government hoped that 1 million people would be using UC by
April 2014， but only 64，000 have used it so far．
There is no guarantee it will be carried out in full， even if the Tories form the next government． "I
wouldn't put money on UC continuing under either major party，" says Colin Talbot of the University of
Manchester． Opponents say gains will be the lowest． They accuse Mr Duncan Smith and his team of
trying to change the world． Mr Guy contradicts： "At least someone is trying．"

第五部分：读写任务
32．（25 分）阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文．
There was once a farmer who had a fine olive orchard． He was very hardworking， and the farm
always prospered（蒸蒸日上） under his care． But he knew that his three sons did not like the farm
work， and were eager to reach the goal at a single leap．
When the farmer felt that his time had come to die， he called the three sons to him and said， "My
sons， there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard． Dig for it， if you wish it．" After the farmer
was dead， the sons went to work to find the pot of gold； since they did not know where the hiding﹣
place was， they agreed to begin in a line， at one end of the orchard， and to dig until one of them
should find the money．
They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other， round the tree
﹣roots and between them． But no pot of gold was to be found． It seemed as if someone must have
stolen it， or as if the farmer had been wandering in his wits． The three sons were bitterly disappointed
to have all their work for nothing． The next olive season， the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit
than they had ever given； when it was sold， it gave the sons a whole pot of gold．天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
