toward a hotel in Reykjavík, about 40 minutes away, (21)______(arm) with the modern traveller’s
two essentials: a dream and, more importantly, a GPS unit, which can direct people to a definite
address. He carefully followed the commands of the GPS that came with the car, a calm female

He was lost and -- despite the insistence of his GPS -- nowhere near his hotel. There were no
other drivers on the road, and he didn’t know (29)______ he could do but follow the line on the
screen to its mysterious end. “I knew I was going to get somewhere,” he says. “I didn’t know
where else to go.”

Air pollution triggers more heart attacks than using cocaine and poses as high a risk of
sparking a heart attack as alcohol, coffee and physical exertion, scientists said on Thursday. Anger,
marijuana (大麻)use and chest or respiratory (与呼吸有关的)(31) ____ can also trigger heart
attacks to different extents, the researchers said, but air pollution, (32) ____ in heavy traffic, is the
major cause.
The findings, published in The Lancet journal, suggest population-wide (33) ____ like
polluted air should be taken more (34) ____ when looking at heart risks, and should be put into
context besides higher but relatively rarer risks like drug use. Tim Nawrot of Hasselt University in
Belgium, who led the study, said he hoped his findings would also encourage doctors to think
more often about population level risks.
Nawrot’s team combined data from thirty-six (35) ____ studies and calculated the relative
risk posed by a series of heart attack triggers and their population-attributable fraction (PAF)—in
other words the proportion of total heart attacks estimated to have been caused by each trigger.
“Of the triggers for heart attack studied, cocaine is the most likely to trigger an event in an
individual, but traffic has the greatest population effect as more people are (36) ____ to it,” the
researchers wrote. “PAFs give a measure of how much disease would be avoided if the risk was no
longer (37) ____. ”
A report published late last year found that air pollution in many major cities in Asia exceeds
the WHO’s air quality guidelines and that poisonous (38) ____ of pollutants result in more than
530,000 earlier deaths a year. While (39) ____ smoking was not included in this study, Nawrot
said the effects of secondhand smoke were likely to be similar to that of outdoor air pollution, and
noted previous research found that bans on smoking in public places have (40) ____ reduced heart
attack rates.

III. Reading Comprehension (41 – 55 题,每题 1 分;56 – 70 题,每题 2 分;共 45 分)
SectionA
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Are you guilty of throwing away food? Many of us end up binning unwanted, uneaten or
out-of-date food while millions of people in the world ___41___.The United Nations Food and
Agricultural Organization estimates that 33 percent of food produced is thrown away. This fills up
landfill sites and ____42___ greenhouse gases.
Part of the problem seems to lie with the supermarkets that ____43___ us to buy more. They
offer ___44__ such as buy-one-get-one-free (BOGOF) that ___45___ us to stock up on food that
we'll never be able to consume. In Europe alone, people throw away 100 million tons of food
every year.
But the problem isn't just us throwing away leftovers in the fridge or cupboard. Although we
all love the convenience, price and choice of food that supermarkets offer, a lot of food is
discarded (丢弃)before we even see it. Some stores___46__ fruit and vegetables because they're
the wrong size or shape. And shoppers are equally to blame because they demand that items like
these should look__47____.
BBC reporter, Caroline Hepker, ___48__the problem in the USA and said "Food waste is a
huge issue in America. Forty percent of all food goes uneaten and it's a problem that starts long
before you get to the dining room table."
Another issue is the 'sell-by' and 'use-by' dates printed on food packaging,which ___49____
shoppers. Anything older than a 'sell-by' date makes us think it is old and the food has gone off.
But, in fact, this is just the date until which supermarkets can ____50____its freshness.
___51___, in some parts of the world, people are struggling to buy even the most basic food.
A report by the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization found that there is enough food for
everyone ---- just a lot of __52__. So what can be done?
Apps and websites that __53___ excess (多余的) food are becoming more popular. And
food banks are being set up too. These are charitable organizations people __54__ food to. It's
then distributed to those who have difficulty buying their own food.
Perhaps the best idea is that we all think twice before we fill our baskets up with too many
groceries and we put pressure on supermarkets to change some of their wasteful ____55___. How

【答案】41-45ADABD 46-50 BCBBB 51-55 CABDC
Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
After bouncing my rental car across several miles of red-dirt roads I walked for nearly
another mile down the beach to a deserted valley. It was comforting to think that at the very least I
was finally out of cell-phone range.
However, even on Kauai, Hawaii's 'Garden Island', complete escape wasn't all that easy to
achieve. Noisy helicopters full of tourists flew overhead like so many dragonflies. Every 20
minutes or so the comforting sounds of wind and water were broken by the noise of a speeding
tour boat racing to complete another lap around the island. Worst of all, not more than five
minutes by car from the resort where I was staying, the Atomic Clock Internet Cafe signaled with
promises of instant email.
I felt uncomfortable every time I drove by the Atomic Clock Cafe. I am a technology reporter
for an online magazine - my life is driven and dominated by email. I'm drowned in it, usually 400
or 500 messages a day. The main reason for my visit to Kauai was to unplug, disconnect, log off,
and get away from it all. No cell phone, no electronic organizer, no laptop. And definitely, no
email.
Yes, my plan was to lie on the beach and not check my email. My friends and family were
outraged as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email. But they didn't
understand. In my job, I am online, permanently. Cyberspace is more familiar to me than my
backyard. While I am awake, my email is always on. I don't like to be without it for two long. A
few hours away from it, and I start to tremble. I am, however, no stranger to beaches and their
relaxing qualities and so I knew, even when arriving well after dark at the comfortable cottage in
the town of Waimea, that the island of Kauai gave me a good chance of beating my addiction to
electronic devices.
Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not 10 metres from my door. Or the
mango trees casting shadows across the veranda(阳台). Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for
as far as I could see along the shore. Without question, the long, slow sound of the waves rolling
in calmed my restless soul, and I found I could, in fact, log off.
56. Why did the writer come to Kauai?
A.To get away from the modern technology.
B. To work for the Atomic Clock Internet Cafe.
C. To write reports on technological development.
D. To find whether there is an alternative to email.
57. What can we learn about the writer?
A. He wrote articles about resorts around the world.
B. He enjoyed beach activities like boat racing.
C. He was eager to work in his backyard.
D. He spent much time working online.
58. The word "outraged" (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to "________".
A. relieved B. shocked C. amused D. offended
59. The writer described the scenery in the last paragraph in order to ________.
A. argue against his friend's doubt of Kauai
B. propose a possible destination of his trip
C. highlight the beauty of the beach of Kauai
D. show Kauai produced a relaxing atmosphere
【答案】 56~59. ADBD
(B)
60. If you suffer from insomnia _________________.
A. midday shut-eye may be helpful
The Pros and Cons of Napping
Daytime resting: helpful or harmful?
Getting some sleep, even a short afternoon nap, may seem like a good thing for people with
sleep disorders. But for those with insomnia and an already decreased desire to sleep at night,
midday shut-eye can actually be counterproductive. So before you curl up on the couch this
afternoon, consider whether your quick fix might backfire when you lie down in bed tonight.
Trouble sleeping at night
If you have insomnia, naps present a problem, even if you feel tired during the day. Napping
during the day can perpetuate bad sleep habits for people with temporary sleep issues caused by
stress, illness, or jet lag too.
“Even just a little bit of a power nap reduces your nighttime sleep drive,” says Ralph
Downey III, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Loma Linda University Medical
Center in California. “The nap becomes nothing more than another episode of fragmented sleep.”
Getting through the day
If you don’t have a problem getting your z’s at night, a quick nap can work wonders to pull
you through a tiresome or sleep-deprived day. In fact, a 2008 study found that a 45-minute
daytime nap can improve memory function. And previous studies have found that naps can lower
blood pressure.
Those who suffer from narcolepsy or shift-work syndrome may also benefit from daytime
naps, says James Wyatt, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorders Service and Research Center at
Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
Fatigue could be a warning sign
If you’re constantly fighting the urge to sleep during the day and falling asleep instantly at
night, you might have obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which you stop breathing while you
sleep.
In this case, naps won’t help. By wearing a continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP)
machine that flows oxygen through your nose, however, you’ll likely sleep more soundly and
wake refreshed—whether from a good night’s rest or a quick catnap.
B. a short afternoon nap is probably a good thing
C. napping during the day is considered a good habit
D. a little bit of a power nap decreases your night time sleep desire
61. A quick nap can be beneficial for common people except those ______________.
A. who have a problem falling into sleep at night
B. whose memory is not good enough
C. who suffer from shift-work syndrome
D. whose blood pressure is too high
62. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.
A. naps are helpful for those who have obstructive sleep apnea
B. more oxygen through your nose might improve sleep quality
C. a 45-minute daytime nap can be beneficial for those with insomnia
D. a quick nap can pull everyone through a sleep-deprived day
【答案】60~62. DAB
(C)
Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an
important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the
utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare actual
decisions made by people with theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Supporters
of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although
there are several variations on the exact format that worksheet can take, they are all similar in their
essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then
listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the relevant considerations that will be affected
by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is
determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A
decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the
highest number of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted(多层面的), there are several alternatives to
choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and
paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their
minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven
ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a
large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college
students is the question “What will I do after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that
offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a brief statement of the problem that will also help
to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate
goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing
on long range goals,a graduating student might revise the question above to “What will I do after
graduation that will lead to a successful career?”
63. Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?
A. Listing the consequences of each solution.
B. Calculating a numerical summary of each solution.
C. Deciding which consequences are most important.
D. Writing down all possible solutions.
64. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optional decision is defined as one that _______.
A. has the fewest variables to consider
B. uses the most decision worksheets
C. has the most points assigned to it
D. is agreed by the greatest number of people
65. The author states that “On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at
once” to explain that _______.
A. most decisions involve seven steps
B. human mental capacity has limitations
C. some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions
D. people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice
66. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. A tool to assist in making complex decisions.
B. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.
C. Research on how people make decisions.
D. Differences between long-range and short-range decision making.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.
Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Uniform has to be seen as something that is earned.
B. School uniform is also a great tool to prevent bullying.
C. Some students complain that school uniform is monotonous.
D. In my experience, uniform helps schools maintain authority.
E. However, a school should not rely heavily on uniform regulation.
F. Learning to fit in is one of the things being at school that teaches our children.
To Wear or Not to Wear
After a strict head teacher in the U.K. sent 80 students home for uniform violations, the
Guardian held a discussion about whether wearing school uniforms makes a difference.
School uniform is very important. It does improve my concentration, because it reminds me
that I’m at school to learn. But I’m not sure if that’s because I’m used to wearing uniform and
associate my own clothes with free time._______67_______If everyone is wearing the same
clothes, it’s impossible to make fun of other people’s clothing. I don’t think this ignores a child’s
need to express themselves.
-- David Hershman, a student at Stafford grammar school
___68___Students should start school with no uniform. As they progress through the school,
they start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school, and uniform is
important for that. So, make them earn it! If they let the school down, they shouldn’t be allowed to
wear it. Look at the Marines(海军陆战队) they can’t wait to get that beret(贝雷帽).
--Tim Francis, a former teacher
I have had experience of teaching in both uniform and non-uniform schools. I can definitely
see the benefits of students wearing uniform. Uniform can be important in creating a sense of
school identity and community. It is often a source of collective pride for
students.___69__Teaching students how to express themselves with confidence, rather than the
length of their tie, should be the priority.
--Enayah Byramjee, an educational development director
In a perfect world, school uniform would not exist. Children would express their personalities
through their clothes at school, just as they do at home. School wouldn’t impress on pupils the
need to wear skirts to a certain length. We don’t live in a perfect world, however.___70___
My house is often filled with uniform-wearing girls. The best thing about uniform, for me as
a parent, is the simplicity.
--Joanna Moorhead, a mother of four

IV. Summary Writing (10 分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth
century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring
for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have
been in her middle twenties and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or
five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would
have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom,
opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and
have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years
and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children, her
work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.
This important change in woman’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect
on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity,
and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once
and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after
that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least
until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time
work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a
greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing
more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and
interests of each of them.
71. 参考答案:
Women's lives have changed greatly, because they marry younger, have fewer children to care for,
and have modern technology to help them, which makes it possible for them to get back to work.
This results in women's rise in family economic position to share equally the duties of supporting
family and chores with their husbands.

Guided Writing
Dear Present,
I’m writing to express some of my opinions towards our school’s broadcast which intends to
change one of the programs from science technology, interest hobby and literature art and select
one of them from travelling, environmental protection, fitness.
From my perspective, I would choose “interest hobby” to be the one to be eliminated. Not
only is this topic out of date, but also students’ interest varies a lot. Therefore, they may be
indifferent about others’ interest and hobbies.
As for the column to be added, I highly recommend is fitness. As senior high students, so
busy are we with our study that we often forget to do some physical exercise and even don’t know
how to keep fit to avoid getting ill. If the school broadcast can provide us some useful advice on
how to keep fit in a good way, which will benefit us a lot and as a result I believe that it will be
more popular among students.
I’d appreciate it very much if you could follow my advice, and I’m looking forward to hear
from you as soon as possible.
Best wishes!
Yours
Li Hua

Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Have you heard of the women’s liberation movement? It began in the 1960s. There are many
aspects of the women’s liberation movement. Some women want full equality with men in every
aspect of life. In marriage, they want husbands and wives to share all of the work and
responsibilities of a home and family. In work, they want women and men to have the same jobs
and the same chance to succeed. They want women to be paid just as much as men are for the
same work. Other women agree with some of the ideas of women’s liberation. They want the same
pay if they hold the same job as a man. At home, however, they do not expect their husbands to
share in the cleaning, cooking, and other household jobs.
It is important to remember that the women’s liberation movement is not concerned only with
concrete issues. The movement is also concerned with attitudes and beliefs. Some women do not
think they are capable of doing anything important. The women’s liberation movement would like
to help these women improve their view of themselves. Many women have taken jobs, have
helped others, have raised healthy children, and have done many other things to contribute to their
communities. They have shown that they are capable of being good leaders and of doing many
important things.
Questions:
11. When did the women’s liberation movement begin?
12. What do many women want in work?
13. What is the women’s liberation movement concerned with?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
It’s parents’ nature to love and provide for children. Because our children are part of us, we
want to see them happy. Nevertheless, a wish that our children have everything that we lacked as
youngsters can cause us to spoil them. One of the most precious gifts you can give your children is
true independence. It lets them know how to gain what they desire by themselves and become
owners of their own happiness. When the time comes for them to go to college or begin to work,
you will have the confidence that you have raised a child that can both enter and contribute to
society confidently.
When children are not afforded the opportunity to explore self-dependence or to fulfill their
own needs, they may have false values. They won’t realize the necessity of hard work and the
needs of others. Yet children who are given love and affection in abundance are often kinder and
more responsible than those whose parents agree to their every material demand. They develop a
strong sense of self that stretches beyond possessions and the approval of their peers. As adults,
they will understand that each individual is responsible for building the life they desire.
It can be difficult to watch children struggle to meet their personal goals, yet it is wonderful
to be by their side as they achieve it. Your choice not to spoil your children will bless you with
more opportunities to show them understanding and to be fully present with them as the journey
toward adulthood.
Questions:
14. Why will a father buy his children some expensive gifts?
15. What can we infer from the passage about spoiled children?
16. According to the passage what shouldn’t parents do for children?
Section C
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hi, this is Roger Jackson. I’m calling to make a reservation for a flight from Houston to
Atlanta.
W: Yes, Mr. Jackson. And what day would you like to travel?
M: Oh, not until next month. I want to leave on 15th May and return on 19th May. I thought maybe
if I called in advance I could get a better fare.
W: Yes, you can. But if you stay over Saturday night and return on Sunday, 20th May, the ticket
will be even cheaper.
M: Really? How much cheaper?
W: Almost fifty dollars.
M: Hmm… but I would have an extra night in a hotel. No, that’s OK. I’ll just keep it for 19th May.
W: All right. Do you have a seating preference?
M: I’d rather have a window seat.
W: Good. There is one available. And do you want me to mail the ticket or will you pick it up?
M: I’ll pick it up. When can I come by?
W: Any time after two o’clock.
M: Great!
Now listen again please.
