Since the modern Olympics began in 1896, it has been held in more than 40 different cities. That
gives Olympic fans quite a few possible travel destinations to choose!
Beijing, China
Olympic fans should consider visiting the Beijing Olympic Park to check out the special buildings of
the so-called “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube”—the national stadium and aquatics center built for the
2008 Beijing Olympics. Popular historic places in Beijing include the Forbidden City, the Summer
Palace, and Tian’anmen Square.
Innsbruck, Austria
Located in the heart of the Alps, Innsbruck is known as a great winter destination—which explains

experiences that include both globally well-known restaurants and locally favored street carts.

Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas.
But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly
changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his
second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from
his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who
plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good
language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide
will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is
growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council( 议 会 ) on the Teaching of
Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as
an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our
government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic
competitiveness,” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and
culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute
at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It
sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of
students are learning Mandarin.
24. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?
A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.
B. Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.
C. Mandarin might help him learn more about China.
D. Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.
25. The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. a slight advantage B. the outside limit
C. a sharp tone of voice D. an exciting quality
26. Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?
A. Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B. Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C. The US government’s policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.
D. Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security.
27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B. The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.
C. The influence of China’s growing power on American education.
D. The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin.
C
People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the- counter(非处方的) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies( 治疗)like herbal tea or
chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.
So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor,
professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week,
improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time
that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.
It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless
against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To
understand it, you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒的) drugs work. They attack the virus by
attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock
into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus
and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective
enough.
The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B.
But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of
them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little
effect when used against C.
“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader
Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.
Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a
highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different
from that of other cold viruses.
With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may
no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.
28. What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?
A. They are quite effective.
B. They are slightly helpful.
C. They actually have no effect.
D. They still need to be improved.
29. How do antiviral drugs work?A. By breaking up cold viruses directly.
B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.
C. By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.
D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.
30. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.
B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.
C. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.
D. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.
31. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Drugs against cold viruses B. Helpful home remedies
C. No current cure for common cold D. Research on cold viruses
D
The negative health effects of sleep shortages during the week can’ t be changed by marathon
weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation(缺乏) can cause weight gain and
increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting
off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to
sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were
limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and
experienced metabolic disruption(代谢紊乱) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long
term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep,
those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next
Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’ re gone when you go back to your routine. It’ s
very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, who oversaw the research. “These health effects are
long-term. It’ s kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn’ t see an
immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”
Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep—cutting out the optional
“sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even
when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job
schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a
healthy diet or exercise.
32. What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?
A. The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.
B. Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.
C. People’ s habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.
D. The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.
33. Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.
A. call on smokers to completely abandon smoking
B. advise people to go to sleep when they want to smoke
C. show people have known the harm brought by smoking
D. show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation
34. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Putting tasks in order of importance.
B. Getting more than enough of something to deposit it.
C. Cutting down something that is not necessary any more.
D. Treating something as being more important than others.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Weekend catch-up sleep is a lie.
B. Bad sleep habits are harmful to health.
C. Smoking is not the worst thing to health.
D. A new study has an unexpected discover.

One morning that I was in primary school, I tried cooking for first time. As my parents weren’t
in, I have to cook something to eat. I took an egg from the refrigerator, putting some oil in the pan
and cracked the egg into it. After a few second, I tried to turn the egg over in case it would get burnt.
Unexpectedly, it caught fire. Not known what to do, I screamed but rushed out of the kitchen. After a

第二节书面表达(One possible version)
Dear Elvin,
How is it going? I am delighted to hear that you will come to China and join me in community
service. Now I’m writing to tell you something about it.
With the New Year approaching, some elderly people who live in the nursing home in our
community may feel extremely lonely without a family. In order to create a joyous atmosphere for
them, I plan to visit them every week this winter vacation. Helping them with their house work and
chatting with them will surely bring them much pleasure and drive their loneliness away. If you
could come, they would be more than pleased to receive “international” care.
I hope we can gain happiness from our voluntary service. Looking forward to your arrival.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
