第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash, and something happened at the memorial service that he’ll never forget. He shared the story with me.

At the memorial service, his friend’s wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering. She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together. At the moment, she had been too sad to answer, but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question.

They were in their late forties when he died, and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier. She had quit her job to obtain her master’s degree, and her husband never hesitated in his support.

He held down his own job and also did the cooking, cleaning, and other housework while she studied for her degree.

One time they both stayed up all night. She was finishing her paper, and he was preparing for an important business meeting. That morning, she walked out of her study, leaned against the door by the stairs, looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him. She knew how important this meeting was to his future, and she was feeling guilty that she didn’t even have time to make his breakfast. He took his briefcase and hurried out. She heard the garage door open and close, but much to her surprise, she heard it open again about thirty seconds later. From above, she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table. Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words “I love you”, then he raced back to his car.

The new widow then looked out at her audience and said, “John and I had a wonderful life together. We have been around the world several times. We’ve had everything money can buy...but nothing comes close to that moment.”

Hearing this, I was deeply moved. “Love makes life worthwhile.”

56. The service was held to ______.

A. listen to the woman’s story

B. mourn the woman’s husband

C. meet some old friends

D. share the woman’s sadness

57. Why did the woman quit her job?

A. She had to support her husband.

B. She had too much housework to do.

C. She wanted to travel around the world.

D. She needed to concentrate on her studies.

58. “He held down his own job…” in Paragraph 4 means that ______.

A. he managed to keep his job

B. he needed help in his work

C. he cancelled his job

D. he delayed his work

59. The woman mentioned an incident 20 years ago to show______.

A. how busy their life was

B. how her husband loved her

C. how they improved their life

D. how hard her husband worked

Dear V olunteers，

The service you will provide to elderly individuals in Abilene as a Meals on Wheels volunteer is deeply appreciated. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many miles you will travel and all of the hours you will contribute to help make this one of the best programs in the

entire state.

We have our staff members make a home visit before adding each person to the program and try to visit everyone at least once every year. That is hardly enough, and we depend on your contact a great deal! It is important that you report back when you do not get an answer to your knock on the door. The person inside may be hurt or ill. They may be in hospital or out of town and fail to inform us. If they are frequently absent, we may need to determine if they still need meals.

If you find someone with a medical emergency, please call 911 to request medical assistance, and then call the Meals on Wheels office. If you find someone who needs assistance other than for a medical emergency, please call the Meals on Wheels office at 6725050, and we will try to find the appropriate agency or individual to call.

Let us know when a certain person needs extra food. We have a food preparation room of shelf stable items to share with them. Please feel free to take a few magazines when you deliver meals. Many of those we serve cannot afford magazines and enjoy reading. If someone is interested in getting books from the Abilene Public Library, let us know. We can sign them up for the Books on Wheels program. Call if you smell gas strongly when you deliver meals, or if someone needs a space heater, a blanket, or an electric fan. Please convey all needs to us, and we will try to see that they are met. Some of the elderly people who we offer our service may have cancers, liver diseases, AIDS, etc. If you do not want to deliver meals to the people with certain types of health problems, such as these, please let us know.

Sincerely,

Betty L. Bradley, LBSW,

Executive Director

61. What can we learn about the volunteers from the passage?

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.

People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most

common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.

One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?

Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.

Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.

Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.

63. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.

B. The importance of confidence to success.

C. The difference of people’s confidence.

D.T he judgment on one’s confidence.

64. Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.

A. who think their goals are hard to reach

B. who expect to give guidance to others

C. who want to ask the boss for a raise

D. who dream to be recognized experts

65. What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. important

B. attractive

C. outgoing

D. energetic

66. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?

A. To overlook one’s disadvantages.

B. To make full use of one’s advantages.

C. To have great confidence in one’s abilities.

D. To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities.

On March 28th, the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.

In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.”

Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms.

These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.

The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to the Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.

However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on “some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole(漏洞), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason.

Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network,”he said, adding that the Times must “continue to engage with the widest possible audience.”

67. The author’s main purpose in the text is to _____.

A. describe research findings

B. make advertisements

C. report a piece of news

D. suggest a solution

68. Why will the Times charge their online readers?

A. It needs a way to offer better service to its readers.

B. It wants to stay relevant in the social media world.

C. It has too many readers coming from the other sites.

D. It is seeking new financial sources for its development.

69. Who will be limited to the New York Times articles?

A. Those subscribing to the printed newspapers.

B. Readers clicking through from Facebook.

C. Those using Google research engine.

D. Readers paying $35 a month.

70. What challenge may the paywall bring to the New York Times?

A. It may bring the Times more competition with the other media.

B. It may stop the Times connecting to the global network.

C. It may result in huge drops in papers’ online readership.

D. It may block the readers from the other websites.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A study showed eating even a little less salt could greatly help the heart. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The scientists used a computer model to predict how just three grams less salt a day would affect heart disease in the United States.

The scientists said the results would be thirteen percent fewer heart attacks, eight percent fewer strokes（中风）, four percent fewer deaths and eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease. ___71__

Researchers said it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-two thousand deaths every year. The researchers were from the University of California, San Francisco, Stanford University and Columbia University. They and public health professionals in the United States are interested in a national campaign to persuade people to eat less salt. ___72___.

However, some scientists say such a campaign is an experiment with the health of millions of people.

Michael Alderman is among the critics(批评家). He is a high blood pressure expert and professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Doctor Alderman says that eating less salt results in lower blood pressure. ___73___. And he says salt has other biological effects. He says calling for reductions in the national diet could have good effects, but it could also have harmful results.

Another critic is David McCarron, a nutrition and kidney（肾）disease expert at the University of California. He and his team looked at large studies of diets in thirty-three countries. ___74___. Most of them eat more salt than American health officials advise.

Doctor McCarron says the worldwide similarity suggests that a person’s brain might decide how much salt to eat.

Both Doctor McCarron and Doctor Alderman have connections to the Salt Institute, a trade group for the salt industry. Doctor Alderman is a member of an advisory committee. ___75__ Doctor McCarron is paid for offering scientific advice to the Salt Institute.

A. But he says he receives no money from the group.

B. Such campaigns are already in place in Britain, Japan and Finland.

C. And two hundred forty billion dollars would be saved in health care.

D. They say people eating less salt have equal chances to have diseases.

E. And it may also result in fifteen percent increase of the kidney death rate.

F. They found that most people around the world eat about the same amount of salt.

G. But he says studies have not clearly shown that lowering salt means fewer heart attacks or strokes.

As can be seen in the picture, a boy is rowing a boat trapped in a bottle floating on the surface of the sea. It seems that he won’t row his boat any further though he is making great efforts.

The picture intends to convey the message that we shouldn’t be webbed to our own ideas when we are trying to reach our goals. In our daily life, we may meet with kinds of problems. We need to find different kinds of solutions to them. If we always stand by our opinions, we may get half the results with double the effort. Just like the boy in the picture, no matter how hard he is rowing, he will never row the trapped boat out of the bottle.

In my opinion, only by opening our minds, can we solve the problems and reach our goals.

M: I see. We still have 30 minutes left. It’s only a 20-minute walk to the stadium from here.

W: You haven’t forgotten our son, have you? He is interested in the match. We need to pick him up at his school.

M: Why isn’t he going by bike as usual?

W: By bike? Don’t you remember that he lost his bike last week and he walks to school now.

M: Oh, sorry I forgot it. Anyhow, there’s no need to worry. Let’s drive to school right now.

W: Hello, front desk.

M: Yes.

W: This is Marisa in Room 307.

M: Well, yes. How can I help you, Miss Marisa?

W: I want to take a shower, but there is no hot water.

M: I can’t understand that. Have you turned the handle all the way to the right?

W: I’ve been trying to get hot water for 10 minutes. It’s still freezing cold.

M: Well, a lot of people take showers before breakfast. Maybe if you wait a while, it’ll heat up again.

W: Wait? I have an important meeting to attend in an hour, and I also have to wash and dry my hair.

M: Your shower has absolutely no hot water?

W: No, none at all.

M: I will send a worker to repair it right away. He will be there within 2 minutes.

W: OK. But don’t send anyone within 5 minutes. I need to get dressed.

Good morning, everyone. My name’s Margaret Sayles. I’m a journalist who specializes in travel. Some of you may read the travel section of the newspaper, so you know the kinds of articles I write.

Anyway, I’m not here to tell you about my job. I’ve been invited here by the Astoria Tourism Agency to tell you about travel to Astoria. Now as I’m sure most of you know, Astoria is a rather large island located eleven hundred kilometers from New Zealand. As you can see on this map here, it’s about 25 percent larger than New Zealand, and it has quite a different shape. While New Zealand’s long and thin, Astoria has the shape of a square.

Now, I guess none of you here has been to Astoria yet, so let me give you a bit of a description. Most of the people there live in the northern half of the island. This part of the island is warmer than the southern half, but it wouldn’t be fair to say that southern half is cold. In fact, the whole island is close enough to the Equator so that no matter how far south you go, you wouldn’t even

need a sweater to stay warm. So we can see it’s a wonderful tourist attraction in any season.

W: Er…Mr. Smith I’m phoning about your advertisement for an air stewardess.

M: Oh, yes. Could I have your name please?

W: Yes. My name is Penny Maggie, M-A-G-G-I-E.

M: M-A-G-G-I-E. Um…are you a graduate?

W: Yes. I graduated from UEA, the University of East Anglia last year. I studied French and Italian there.

M: What kind of work experience have you had ?

W: Well, I worked at Holiday Restaurant in West Road for five months, then I began to work for Jade Travel Agency. I’ve been working there for about three months.

M: I see. And…er…you want to be a stewardess?

W: Yes, very much. When I was a child, I dreamt of being an air stewardess. You see, I really like traveling and meeting people.

M: OK, Miss Maggie, well,…um. Could you come in for an interview…say 2:30 on Friday afternoon ?

W: Yes, that would be fine.

M: Good. We’re on t he sixth floor of the ABB Building in Oxford Street.

W: Thank you, see you then.

第一节情景作文（20分）

One possible version:

Students’ Union has decided to set up our own BBS. All of us will benefit a lot from it. It offers us chances to communicate with each other. We can exchange our learning and life experiences on it. We can share different cultures as well. What’s more, it is a good place for us to make good friends. A life without a friend is a life without sunshine. Anyone who has difficulties with their study and daily life can ask for help on it. If you have any good suggestions to offer, you can lend a helping hand. Good advice on how to enrich our school life and how to develop our school is also welcome. Wish you to join in and fully express your ideas.

第二节开放作文（15分）

One possible version:

开放写作

As can be seen in the picture, a boy is rowing a boat trapped in a bottle floating on the surface of the sea. It seems that he won’t row his boa t any further though he is making great efforts.

In my opinion, only by opening our minds, can we solve the problems and reach our goals.
