Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the
streets to try my 36 . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely 37 , feeling as though I
were about to commit a crime. Then I _38 at last under a bridge near the station and decided to
have a try.
I felt tense and _39 . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like
a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling over head, that I was about to 40 myself.
One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat
on the 41 before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled
down and began to run more _42 and to stay more or less in tune. To my 43 , I was neither
arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any 44 at all. Then an old man, without
stopping at all, dropped a penny into my 45 as though getting rid of some guilty evidence
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truth of the
46 by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money—the
sight could _47 a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to 48 it completely, which could also
confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to _49 his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the
hat to start the thing going soon became a 50 practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take
off the cream, but always leaving two 51 behind.
Old _52 were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids.
As for men, heavy drinkers were always receptive and so were big guys with muscles. But_53 a
man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the least _54 of all. Except
for retired any officers, who would shout "Why aren't you 55 , young mad?" and then would
over-tip to cover up their confusion.
36. A. violin B. luck C. skill D. art
37. A. station B. bridge C. street D. spot
38. A. stopped B. wandered C. played D. sat
39. A. lost B. excited C. nervous D. strange
40. A. shame B. show C. damage D. declare
41. A. pavement B. bridge C. wall D. road
42. A. angrily B. slowly C. smoothly D. roughly
43. A. excitement B. sorrow C. astonishment D. surprise
44. A. money B. pity C. notice D. rest
45. A. hat B. pocket C. hand D. bag
46. A. people B. performance C. music D. trade
47. A. encourage B. discourage C. help D. support
48. A. fill B. empty C. tear D. hide
49. A. make B. get C. drop D. earn____________________________________________________________________________________________
50. A. modern B. regular C. timely D. economic
51. A. pennies B. dollars C. pounds D. euros
52. A. workers B. teachers C. ladies D. doctors
53. A. sometimes B. often C. always D. never
54. A. generous B. comfortable C. handsome D. selfish
55. A. playing B. working C. cheating D. shopping
第三部分 阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Today we report on two cases where fish are both the victims and the offenders.
The first involves two kinds of Asian carp (鲤鱼), bighead and silver. They can grow more
than a meter long and weigh up to forty-five kilos. They eat huge amounts of plankton that other
fish need to survive. Silver carp can also jump high and hit boaters. Asian carp were brought to the
United States in the 1970s as a solution. They were imported to eat algae (海藻). They were put to
work as cleaners at fish farms along the Mississippi River and in wastewater treatment systems.
But now the fish are moving north toward the Great Lakes. They are making their way up a
system built years ago to link the Mississippi to Lake Michigan. The dangers of an invasion are
environmental and economic. The destructive carp could spread within the Great Lakes and
threaten fishing and trade.
An electric fence has been put. The underwater barrier is meant to shock the carp into turning
back. Only one Asian carp was found among many thousands of fish killed with poison while part
of the fence was being serviced. The barrier may not be enough to protect the Great Lakes. There
are calls in Congress for emergency action. But there are no decisions yet.
The problem in Utah is with common carp. Officials want to remove around three-fourths of
the carp from Utah Lake, the largest natural body of freshwater in the state. The state wants to
remove millions of carp to protect an endangered species—the June sucker fish. The carp eat
plants the suckers use as hiding places.
Carp were first put into the lake in the 1880s as a food source. Now there are so many,
experts say up to twenty metric tons a day could be removed with nets over a period of several
years. But officials are fishing for ideas about what to do with all those fish, which could get
pretty smelly.
56. Asian carp were brought to the USA in the 1970s to .
A. spread within the Great Lakes
B. enrich American people’s everyday diet
C. threaten fishing and trade in the Great Lakes
D. eat algae and work as cleaners at fish farms
57. How many measures have been taken to protect the Great Lakes according to the passage?
A. None. B. Only one. C. Several. D. Quite a few.
58. Why does the Utah state want to remove around three-fourths of the carp from Utah Lake?
A. Because the carp are damaging the June sucker’s hiding place.
B. Because the carp are eating the endangered species—the June sucker fish.
C. Because the carp are not getting along well with other species in the lake.
D. Because the carp are spreading too fast and has taken up much of the living space.
59. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph that follows?
A. Other problems caused by the carp. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
B. Ideas on dealing with the removed fish.
C. Decisions made by the local government.
D. Bringing in new food sources in the future.
60. Where can we most probably read this passage?

D. In a biology textbook.
B

Alexander Scott, who lived in Pennsylvania, is regarded as a hero because she thought of
others before herself. Alex’s goal was to find a cure for people with cancer. Alexander Scott was
four years old when she started her own lemonade (柠檬水) stand. While she was too weak to
fight it off, she was still strong inside. Alex raised thousands of dollars for cancer research.
Alex was born in 1996. When Alex was just a baby they found a tumor (肿瘤) on her back
and then they removed it. Two days before Alexander Scott’s first birthday she was diagnosed
with neroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer. Alex has tried so hard to fight her cancer.
When Alex was four years old, she was trying to find a cure to help others. That’s when Alex
had the idea to start her own lemonade stand. She opened her first lemonade stand in July of 2000.
In her first year she raised $2,000. As word spread Alex started to get more and more donations
from people. Alexander Scott has raised more than $900,000 for pediatric cancer.
The kind of hero Alexander is hero to others near and far. While Alex was trying to fight off
cancer, she raised over $700,000. Her goal was $1,000,000 for cancer. Most of it was from people
that donated money to help find a cure for cancer. Another reason is that when people saw Alex
started to have a lemonade stand to help others, they started to do the same thing. Today there are
about 200 lemonade stands held to raise money for cancer. After Alex met her goal she’s probably
going to save a lot of children and adults’ lives.
That’s why people keep going on with her goal. Maybe we can meet her goal by donating
money and helping others so you can find a cure for cancer. If you want to help Alex Scott you
can click her own web site www.alexslemonade.com. There are a lot of pictures, and facts about
Alex Scott. Sad but true Alex died on August 1, 2004 from neroblastoma cancer when she was 8
years old.

第四部分 任务型阅读(共 10 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Problem: On the scale of problems, “pictures of food on the Internet” is firmly first-world.
And that is almost certainly a too-generous definition of “problem.” When it comes to
photographing and putting your dinner on line, I say live and let live, you know? Maybe your
salad was particularly inviting and pleasing that night, and I, too, have spent many an hour
clicking “random” on Smitten Kitchen and salivating(流口水).
But I assume if you’re making the effort to arrange your food artfully and preserve its
memory in a digital archive, you must... like food. And want it to taste good. A recent study
published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests that spending time focusing on images
of food makes the food itself less satisfying.
Methodology: The researchers assumed that imagining enjoying something might lead to
satiation -- the feeling that makes the second piece of cake taste not-quite-as-good as the first. To
test this, they had some people participate in two experiments that they were told were separate --
one in which they rated how appetizing different photos of food looked, and one in which they ate
some peanuts and rated how much they enjoyed them.
A separate group of people did the same experiment again, but in the photo-rating portion,
some were asked to rate how appetizing the food was or to choose a preference between two foods,
and some were asked to rate the brightness of the photo itself.
Results: The more photos of food people looked at, the less they enjoyed the peanuts -- if
they were looking at photos of salty food. People who looked carefully at images of sweets
enjoyed the peanuts more, suggesting that imagination causes satiation only if you’re imagining a
similar food. In the second experiment, participants who focused on the brightness of the photos
were able to enjoy the peanuts more than those who were thinking about the deliciousness of
foods while they looked at the images.
Implications: You’ll probably enjoy your food more if you don’t take a picture of it, or scroll
through images of cookies at work and then eat one when you get home. This also has potential ____________________________________________________________________________________________
implications for advertisers, who may unknowingly be giving away satiation for free when they
show images of chicken wings or whatever in front of us all day long. But luckily the study
provides a hint: Try not to think about the food’s taste while you take a photo -- just focus on your
composition.

The Modern People’s Life Burden
As we can see in the picture, a man, who is well-dressed, is trying his best to lift up a barbell on
the tops of which there is a house on one top, and a car on the other. The man looks very tired, but
he seems not to be willing to drop them.
In fact, there are many people suffering from this tiredness like the man in the picture above.
Those who want to lead an elite-style life are eager to possess their own big houses and cars. So
they have to make a loan, and pay back the money bit by bit. This is a process of suffering.
As the old saying goes, “A man can do no more than he can. ”In my opinion, we should live a life
as the life is.
