It is funny when you‘d ask a kid today what he / she‘d like to be when they grow up. 36 they‘d say, ―I want to be like my daddy or like my mummy.‖ You ask the same question to 37 and you‘d hear them saying they want to be like R. Kelly, Dora or Obama. These people are great in their own rights(凭他们自身的努力), but that‘s not enough reason to spend your time living out a life just trying to be an image of 38 person. This same question is not just limited to kids and teens; ask adults and they‘d a lso tell you they want to be like Bill Gates or Ellen Sirleaf Johnson.
We live in a world in which people are from different backgrounds. Some are born with silver spoons and others with no spoon at all. We live in a world of 39 and solutions, obstacles and stepping-stones, depending on where you are looking.
Most of us spend our time and energy 40 shoes to fit into, leaving ours behind, trying to live life and 41 the way our role models do. It‘s good but that‘s not the chief factor that w e‘d be like them, because we‘d be surprised that we‘ll fall short of our expectations if we spend much energy 42 the wind. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, so it‘s 43
that we all have the 1% in our genetic make-up but we need to work hard.
Now, I‘m not trying to say it‘s 44 to want to be like somebody else; all I‘m trying to say is that you were born here for a reason — You were given an empty book to write your life in. I wouldn‘t want your book to be 45 with how so-so and s o is but rather how ―I am‖. For as you go around trying out people‘s 46 , who‘s going to try yours? Even if you don't become successful in life, 47 yourself with the thought that at least your shoes are worth trying out.

Part Ⅲ: Reading Comprehension (30分)
A
Mr. Dawson was an old bad-tempered(坏脾气的) man, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yards to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go by
Dawson‘s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was scared of the old man.
Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a big smile.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple. Later, Janet asked Amy, ―Everyone says he‘s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?‖
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn‘t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers an apple now, and is always very kind.
If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most people
can‘t resist our kindness after a while.
We are always busy trying to achieve so much that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let‘s make sure that we‘re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smile
56. Why didn't kids enter Mr. Dawson‘s yard?
A. The gate was kept locked.
B. Mr. Dawson never smiled.
C. They would make trouble.
D. Mr. Dawson treated them badly.
57. Janet suggested walking on the other side of the street to ______.
A. meet some other friends
B. find out where Mr. Dawson was
C. avoid passing by Mr. Dawson‘s house
D. see what Mr. Dawson was doing.
58. What did Mr. Dawson do when he saw Amy?
A. He smiled on her.
B. He forced an invisible smile.
C. He came after her with his gun.
D. He frowned as usual.
59. Janet couldn‘t understand why _______.
A. Amy was kind to Mr. Dawson
B. Mr. Dawson was so friendly
C. Mr. Dawson was so mean.
D. Amy was not afraid of Mr. Dawson
60. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _______.
A. smiling is not difficult at all
B. smiling can make our life different
C. we should bring more smiles to others
D. we should wear invisible smiles
B
In the recent past there have been a number of amazing innovations in the world of 3D entertainment, from movie theater technology to what we see at home, to highly developed
games. As time goes by and the technology becomes more and more affordable, it seems likely that viewing images with 3D glasses could become a part of day-to-day life for many. Now researchers say that might not be a good thing, as the dangers of 3D glasses come to light in research.
3D glasses can reportedly be very unhygienic(不卫生的). Health officials in Italy recently confiscated (没收) 3D glasses that they claimed posed health risks because the 3D glasses weren‘t cleaned properly between screenings. The other more obvious dangers of 3D glasses remain. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found that viewing 3D movies with 3D glasses can strain the eyes by changing the relationship between the eyes and the brain. This can result in headaches and blurred vision, and it seems that the problem is particularly troubling for young children. Those who do experience these kinds of painful side effects should limit their 3D viewing, as long-term results haven‘t been found.
It seems certain that more expensive 3D glasses give you a better 3D experience, as cheaper glasses can create some shadowing. Getting a new pair of disposable(一次性的) glasses at the screening of a movie may be more hygienic, yet there is little evidence to prove whether high-quality 3D glasses are better for your vision and health in the long run.
What should be done about the dangers of 3D? Well, the headaches and dizziness that some viewers experience can be reduced simply by lessening the amount of time spent using 3D technology, and those who experience the effects for a long period of time should consult their doctors.
61. What is the text mainly about?
A. The recent innovations in 3D entertainment.
B. The dangers of viewing images with 3D glasses.
C. How to choose 3D glasses properly.
D. How to prevent the harm of 3D glasses.
62. Health officials in Italy confiscated 3D glasses because ________.
A. they were believed to be unhealthy
B. they were too expensive
C. they were not of high quality
D. they were used too much
63. What can we learn from the second paragraph？
A. 3D glasses pose no threat to adults.
B. The dangers of 3D glasses are not obvious.
C. The side effects of 3D glasses can disappear quickly.
D. Children should be especially cautious about using 3D glasses.
64. We can infer from the third paragraph 3D glasses of high quality ______.
A. pose no danger to your health
B. improve your eyesight
C. are not necessarily safe
D. are more hygienic
65. How can we prevent the dangers of 3D?
A. Limit the time of watching with 3D glasses.
B. Wear high-quality 3D glasses.
C. Clean 3D glasses now and then.
D. Keep a distance from the screen.
C
Do you know what your child is going to do when the school bell rings at the end of the day? More than 14 million students leave school every afternoon and have nowhere to go, since they do not have access to affordable after-school opportunities. According to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center(NYVPRC), nine out of ten Americans think all youths should have access to after-school programs, but two-thirds of parents say they have trouble finding programs locally. The bad news is that the situation may be getting worse.
After-school hours are the peak time for juvenile crimes and risky behaviors, including alcohol and drug use. The NYVPRC states that children who do not spend any time in after-school activities are 49 percent more likely to use drugs and 37 percent more likely to become a teen parent. Kids are also at the highest risk of becoming a victim of violence after school, particularly between the hours of 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. The highest amount of juvenile crime occurs between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., when most children are dismissed from school.
The NYVPRC defines after-school programs as safe and structured activities that offer children opportunities to learn new skills. The skills students learn can range from technology and math to reading and art. Some programs also offer opportunities for internship(实习), community service, or mentoring. These programs have been shown to improve academic achievement, as well as relieve the stresses on working families. A report by the U. S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice shows that students in after-school programs have fewer behavioral problems and more self-confidence, and can handle conflicts better than students who are not involved with these programs. In addition, according to the Harvard Family Research Project, after-school programs help students from low-income families overcome the inequities(不公平) they face in the school system.
66. What is the theme of the passage?
A. Prevention of juvenile crimes.
B. Risks kids face after school.
C. A research report on the stresses of students.
D. The benefits of after-school programs.
67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A. Most parents don't believe in after-school programs.
B. Students are not willing to attend after-school programs.
C. It is difficult for parents to find after-school programs for their kids.
D. Parents don't care about where their kids go after school.
68. We learn from the second paragraph that ______.
A. the teachers should watch over kids after school
B. children are dismissed from school too late
C. after-school hours are a risky time for children
D. children should go home immediately school is over
69. The author of the passage probably _______.
A. fully supports after-school programs
B. doubts the effects of after-school programs
C. believes structured activities are useless for children
D. thinks students today are too stressed
70. The underlined word ―juvenile‖ in paragraph has a similar meaning to ―_______‖.
A. student
B. teenager
C. adult

Section A (10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
Experiencing bad dreams every night can be horrifying for anybody. Bad dreams can disturb the sleep and make a person feel stressed throughout the next day. That‘s why one should take steps to stop them as soon as they become an everyday occurrence.
Before knowing how to get rid of bad dreams, we need to understand what can result in them. Researches have shown that when a person is under some sort of physical or mental stress, he is more likely to get bad dreams and disturbed sleep. So, to stop bad dreams, it‘s necessary to find out the causes of physical and mental stress in your li fe and remove these. For instance, if you‘re overworked, learn to take things slow. Don‘t be ambitious to the point that it starts affecting your health.
Besides, some trauma(损伤) that a person might have experienced recently or in the past which they‘re un able to get over can make the person suffer from bad dreams. Death of a very close family member is often seen to be the reason behind recurrent nightmares. In such a case, taking therapy and dealing with the trauma is the only solution to stop bad dreams.
Eating fatty and high-protein foods in dinner is also known to cause bad dreams in some people. So, bad dreams occurring because of these reasons can be stopped if the diet is changed. Taking a light dinner of soups and salad is the best, both for the health and for stopping disturbed sleep in some cases.
Besides these, there are many other things a person can do to have a good night‘s sleep. For example, your bedroom should be the most comfortable place in the world. So, get rid of all electronic gadgets including television. In addition, if you have negative thoughts, it can have side effects on the kind of dreams you have. So, from now on try to be a happy and positive person.

A good relationship benefit us all
As a middle school student, I think it necessary to build a good relationship with our teachers. Teachers show love and concern for us students in study and life. We students can always seek support and advice from them, from which we benefit and learn a great deal.
A good relationship between teachers and students is very important. In my opinion, this relationship should be one filled with love, care, understanding and respect, so we can exchange ideas freely. To build a relationship of this kind, teachers should become our friends while we students ought to trust teachers and express our appreciation openly.
Only by joint efforts can we enjoy a warm relationship between teachers and students, and live a happy and harmonious life.

SECTION B (18 marks)
Last weekend, I was walking across the village green(草坪) when I saw an elderly gentleman on the bench, just overlooking the duck pond. I thought he looked a bit forlorn(被遗弃的) so I went over and sat next to him.
After a few 36 about how nice the weather was and how there were a lot of ducks in the pond today, he told me how he used to come with his wife and watch the children feed the ducks with their mums. They didn't have any 37 of their own..So they cherished being together even more.
He explained he had been married for 54 years 38 his wife died and how much he missed 39 all the little things with her, like a beautiful sunset. He now lives in a care home. I remarked at how wonderful it must've been to have been married for so long and to have so many happy memories. He took out a large 40 and wiped his eyes and said he had one regret that in all that time he 41 told her how much he really loved her.
He showed me a photograph of them when they were young. The photo was taken more than 50 years ago. He couldn't believe how the time had 42 . I tried to comfort him by explaining that his wife would be still 43 over him and he could talk to her 44 he wants and that she knows how much he loved her because she can see into his heart.
The old man tried to 45 for blurting out his life story but I hushed him and said how privileged I felt he could talk to me and how much it meant to me.

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION （30 marks）
A
Today, when there are many top graduates looking for top jobs, graduates can
differentiate(区别) themselves by obtaining a double major or even a double degree. Increasingly, employers are looking for individuals who are not only competent and intelligent, but who have different skill sets and who are knowledgeable in many areas. Part of the appeal to employers is that your extra work demonstrates a willingness to take on difficult tasks. Additionally, if your majors overlap (重叠), you are able to show potential employers that you have both breadth and depth of knowledge.
By studying for a double major, although you will be studying for only one degree, you will be focusing on two related and integrated subjects that complement (补充) each other. Classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a double degree, so it is easier to finish within four years.
In contrast, with the more rigorous (严格的) double degree, you will be studying for two different degrees in two completely different areas of study. Although pursuing such a course of study allows students to complete two wholly separate degrees in less time than if they were to earn them separately, many strong students still find it incredibly difficult to complete in four or five years.
If you are committed to a double major/degree, it is wise to do a little bit of planning. Some students try to find two courses of studies that are related, while others seek to round out their academic studies by choosing two completely unrelated fields.
For double majors, common pairings include: (i) economics and a foreign language; (ii) political science or government and journalism; (iii) economics and psychology.
For double degrees, common pairings include: (i) engineering and a business program such as finance or accounting; (ii) engineering and economics.
56. What do employers think of the graduates with different skill sets and knowledge in many areas?
A. They should be given top jobs.
B. They are willing to take difficult tasks.
C. They are better than those who are competent and intelligent.
D. They must have attained a double major or even a double degree.
57. According to the passage, the underlined word ―breadth‖ most probably means_________.
A. width
B. amount
C. quantity
D. quality
58. To obtain a double major, you _________.
A. should complete two wholly separate degrees
B. need to focus on two related and integrated subjects
C. need to spend more time than obtaining a double degree
D. have to take courses in two completely different areas of study
59. If you are devoted to a double major or degree, you should _________.
A. find two subjects with overlapping classes
B. learn about what your potential employers want
C. decide what to learn with your intentions considered
D. try to decide on some common pairings as soon as possible
60. Which statement is CORRECT according to the passage?
A. Economics is a major while engineering is a degree.
B. Every college student should take a double major or degree.
C. Earning a double degree is more difficult than obtaining a double major.
D Some students choose two completely unrelated fields to show their ability in academic study.
B
CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS? The ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks(标点符号) probably didn‘t bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc.
The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They·put·a·point·between·each·word·in·a·sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word punctum, which means a prick(刺).
W hen the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The space separated words and while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma.
Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark comes form the Latin word xt. It was originally formed by putting an upper-case(大写字母) I on the lower-case xt. The Latin word xt means ―exclamation of joy.‖ The question mark originally started out as the Latin word question, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question. Over time, it became a symbol formed by putting a lower-case q on an o.
Punctuation is still changing today. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example, the ―interrobang.‖ This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, ―She did what?‖or ―How much did you pay for that dress?‖ Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized – yet. But its invention shows that English is not yet
finished with its punctuation.
61. Which of the following is a comma?
A. ,
B. :
C. ;
D. !
62. What‘s the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The history of punctuation.
B. The introduction of punctuation.
C. The very beginning of punctuation.
D. The ancient Greek way of writing without punctuation.
63. Please put the following events in the order they happened.
a. The exclamation mark and question mark came into the punctuation family.
b. Comma came into existence.
c. Romans put a dot between words to separate words.
d. A period was used to end a sentenc
e.
e. The ―interrobang‖ was invented.
A. cbdae
B. dcbae
C. dbcea
D. cdbae
64. What is the most possible situation for ―She did what?‖?
A. You are told she gave her baby boy a good beat.
B. You are wondering what she did to save the poor boy.
C. You want to know what she did for a living after fleeing to a foreign country.
D. You demand someone else tell you what in the world happened to her.
65. According to the article, we learn ________.
A. punctuation didn‘t come into being until the 5th century.
B. no one can really tell what new marks we may have in the future.
C. the invention of ―interrobang‖ is a failure since it is not widely used.
D. both the exclamation mark and the question mark come from Greek words.
C
It was a party. I was 18 and it was fresher(大一新生) week. I was at the beginning of a course in English Literature and full of enthusiasm for my subject. She was also 18 and enrolled in a course in physics.
―Your major is of no use to society. What will you do with it when you g raduate, other than teach? Plus, you‘re going to be poor your whole life,‖ she said. ―You have no soul and your degree is boring. I don‘t care how much money you‘re going to earn. I‘d rather be poor and don‘t mind being a teacher. If I love my work I‘ll ha ve something far more meaningful than a big bank account!‖ came the reply.
And so it went, back and forth, neither of us giving the other an inch, each of us stubbornly committed to our prejudice. We were both ignorant, but our ignorance was also society‘s ignorance. It had always been that way. Scientists mocked(嘲笑) humanists; humanists laughed at scientists. Back in the 1960s, the physicist-turned novelist C. P. Snow labeled the sciences-humanities divide ―a problem of ?the two cultures‘‖ . He said it was bad for society. The modern world needed well-rounded people.
I think I know better now, but it would have helped if we had been encouraged to think a little more outside our science and arts ―boxes‖.
That‘s why I believe it is healthy that China is beginning a debate on whether it‘s wise for young people to have to choose which direction their careers – and lives – will take at such an
early age. At the moment, in their second year of high school, students must choose either the sciences or the humanities. After making the choice, they focus their energies on passing the appropriate college entrance exam.
But now, people in China are asking: Is this forced, early decision good for young people or society? Young people need time to explore, to discover where their real talents and interests lie. There are more than just a few middle-aged people out there, stuck in jobs they hate because they made the wrong choice at the wrong time.
And from the point of view of society, isn‘t it better for students to delay a while before they decide what to study? Scientists can benefit from learning to develop the critical skills associated with the humanities; students in the humanities, surely, only stand to gain by finding out a little more about science and technology, which are so important to the future of a developing country like China.
With any luck, in the future young people fresh to college will be better informed about the possibilities of education than people of my generation.
66. The author describes what happened at a fresher party to ________.
A. show that he was ready to defend the subject he enjoyed
B. lead up his argument that the sciences-humanities divide is harmful
C. prove that doing something meaningful is better than having a lot of money
D. describe how fierce students of different majors can be when arguing with each other
67. What was C. P. Snow‘s attitude towards the sciences-humanities divide?
A. Indifferent.
B. Uncertain.
C. Positive.
D. Negative.
68. In the sixth paragraph, an example mentioning middle-aged people is used to show that ________.
A. students should not make decisions too early
B. not all people have a talent for or are interested in the sciences
C. these people did not have the chance to make a choice earlier in life
D. the earlier young people make a decision, the better it will be for them
69. According to the text, it is safe to say that ________.
A. sciences are more practical in the modern world
B. C. P. Snow was a novelist who became a physicist
C. future generations will be able to get more out of education
D. a command of both the sciences and humanities is important to society
70. What‘s the best title for the article?

C. Isn‘t it better to delay the choice of the career direction?

PART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)
An experimental solar-powered plane landed safely Thursday after completing its first 24-hour test flight, proving that the aircraft can collect enough energy from the sun during the day to stay aloft(在空中) all night.
Pilot Andre Borschberg eased the Solar Impulse onto the runway at Payerne airfield about 30 miles southwest of the Swiss capital Bern at exactly 9 a.m. (3 a.m. EDT) Thursday. Helpers rushed to stabilize the pioneering plane as it touched down, ensuring that its massive 207-foot
wingspan didn't scrape the ground and topple(倾倒) the craft.
The record feat(壮举) completes seven years of planning and brings the Swiss-led project one step closer to its goal of circling the globe using only energy from the sun. ?We achieved more than we wanted. Everybody is extremely happy,‘ Borschberg told reporters after landing.
Previous flights included a brief ?flea hop‘ and a longer airborne test earlier this year, but this week's attempt was described as a ?milestone‘ by the team. The team said it had now demonstrated that the single-seat plane can theoretically stay in the air indefinitely, recharging its depleted batteries using 12,000 solar cells and nothing but the rays of the sun during the day. But while the team said this proves that emissions-free air travel is possible, it doesn't see solar technology replacing conventional jet propulsion(喷气推进) any time soon. Instead, the project's overarching purpose is to test and promote new energy-efficient technologies.
Project co-founder Bertrand Piccard, himself a record-breaking balloonist, said many people had been skeptical that renewable energy could ever be used to take a man into the air and keep him there. ?It‘s a matter of time that people come to believe and understand about renewable energies,‘Piccard said, adding that the flight was proof that new technologies can help break society's dependence on fossil fuels.
The team will now set its sights on an Atlantic crossing, before attempting a round-the-world flight in 2013, making only five stops along the way. ?It's absolutely not time to relax,‘ said Piccard.

Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.
In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast，but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London，Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London‘s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot，and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite；there are just too many of them.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11：30 at night. That is when the nightclubs are closing
and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo，and you do not often see one that is empty.
During the day，most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations，trains arrive every two or three minutes，but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded，Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep，whether his journey is long or short.
In Tokyo，I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

A 26-year-old Montreal man appears to have succeeded in his quest to barter a single，red paper clip(夹子) all the way up to a house. It took almost a year and 14 trades，but Kyle MacDonald has been offered a two-storey farmhouse in Kipling，Sask.，for a paid role in a movie.
MacDonald began his quest last summer when he decided he wanted to live in a house. He didn‘t have a job，so instead of posting a resumé，he looked at a red paper clip on his desk and decided to trade it on an Internet website. The response was immediate —a fish pen was offered for exchange. MacDonald then bartered the fish pen for a handmade doorknob from a potter in Seattle.
In Massachusetts，MacDonald traded the doorknob for a camp stove. He traded the stove to a U.S. soldier in California for a generator. Then he exchanged the generator for an ―instant party kit‖ — an empty keg(小桶) and an illuminated Budweiser beer sign. MacDonald then traded the keg and sign for a snowmobile. He bartered all the way up to an afternoon with rock star Alice Cooper，a KISS snow globe and finally a paid role in a Corbin Bernsen movie.
―Now，I‘m sure the first question on your mind is，?Why would Corbin Bernsen trade a role in a film for a snow globe？A KISS snow globe，‘ MacDonald said on his website.‖Well，Corbin happens to be arguably one of the biggest snow globe collectors on the planet.
Now，the town of Kipling，Sask.，Canada，with a population of 1,100，has offered MacDonald a farmhouse in exchange for the role in the movie. The town is going to hold a competition for the movie role.
MacDonald said：―There‘re people all over the world that are saying that they have paper clips clipped to the top of their computer，or on their desk or on their shirt，and it proves that anything is possible and I think to a certain degree it‘s true.‖
MacDonald，who has attracted international media attention in his quest，said the journey has turned out to be more exciting than the goal. ―This is not the end. This may be the end of this part of the story，but this story will go on.‖
( )61. The best title for this passage is ―‖.
A.A lucky paper clip
B.From poor to rich
C.A lucky young man
D.From paper clip to house
( )62. The underlined word in line 1 means .
A.to get something for free
B.to sell something at a price
C.to sell goods on the Internet
D.to exchange goods for other goods
( )63. Which shows the correct order of the trades？
( )64. Which statement about MacDonald‘s trades is TRUE？
A.All of his trades were done in his country.
B.A film role was offered du e to Bernsen‘s hobby.
C.They took over a year and some of them were really unbelievable.
D.The house in Kipling has been offered to MacDonald to attract media.
( )65. What can we learn about MacDonald？

B.His success largely depended on the Internet.
C.He never expected his aim could be achieved.
D.He intends to begin another quest on the Web.

CONCORD，N.H.—Torrential rain forced hundreds of people from their homes in parts of New England on Sunday，as water flowed over dams and washed out roads.
The governors of New Hampshire and Massachusetts declared states of emergency. Maine‘s governor also declared a state of emergency for one county. ―It‘s a very serious situation，‖ said New Hampshire Governor John Lynch，adding that forecasters were predicting 12 to 15 inches of

In some towns，police and fire crews used boats to get people out of their homes and stranded cars after hundreds of roads were damaged. Others got around in kayaks(皮船).

Some parts of New Hampshire had seen 7 inches of rain by midday Sunday and forecasters said up to 5 more inches might come during the day. About 100 residents were evacuated from their homes in Wakefield，N.H.，because of concerns about two dams in the area.
Flooding in New Hampshire in October killed seven people，carried off homes and washed away miles of roads down to bedrock.

广东省海康县2017高考英语一轮复习阅读理解系列(一)(含解析)
广东海康县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮系列 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Leadership i s the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on l eadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase“Management is doing th ings right; leadership is doing the right things”, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first,” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy. 1. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?

广东高考英语完形填空命题简析与技巧点拨
广东高考英语完形填空命题简析与技巧点拨 1、命题特点 完型填空综合考察学生的语言知识、阅读能力和总体语言水平，检查学生在有信息空缺的前提下理解整篇文章的能力，要求通过上下文判断，选择恰当的单词或词组填入空格中，使之成为上下合乎逻辑、语言通顺、意义连贯的文章。 广东卷近来年来的高考完形填空题，具有以下几个特点： 1．一个只考。只考实词，包括名词、动词、形容词和副词。 2．两种体裁。记叙文和说明文，以记叙文为主，间或夹叙夹议的内容。 3．三个相同。每小题的四个选项有以下三个相同点： (1)词类相同。要么都是名词，要么都是动词，要么都是形容词或副词； (2)语法形式相同。名词或动词的单复数形式相同，动词-ing或-ed形式相同，形容词或副词的比较等级形式相同； (3)正确选项的分布基本相同。即A、B、C、D四个选项各自所占比例
基本相同。如15个小题，A、B、C、D各占3—4个。 4．四个不考。 (1)不考虚词，包括冠词、代词、介词、连词等； (2)不考纯语法。答案都要通过上下文理解来确定，没有纯语法考查题； (3)不考纯固定搭配。没有考查纯固定搭配记忆题，即使是搭配，也是可以通过上下文语境推知。 (4)不考词语辨析。不考查词义或用法非常相似或难以辨析的词语。一般说来，四个选项的意义相差很大。 二、五个根据 解答完形填空题，有以下五条“根据”： 1．根据首句暗示。 高考完形填空首句往往不设空，是个完整的句子，通过它可以了解全文，判断文章的大意或主题，建立正确的思维导向，对解题非常关键。 2．根据逻辑推理。
考生要懂得根据文段意思和日常生活经验及科普常识等进行简单的逻辑推理来确定答案。 3．根据语言结构。 就是根据选项所在句的对比结构、排比结构、类似结构等语言结构形式来判断和选择答案。 4．根据词语复现。 词汇复现往往会使语篇中的句子相互衔接得更紧密。利用词语的复现，对解题很有帮助。 5．根据前后语境。 高考完形填空中绝大多数题是要通过理解上下文语境才能选出正确答案。有的根据上文，有的根据下文，有的要上下文结合，甚至通篇看完并理解才能作出正确的选择。
高考英语一轮复习学案专题
1 2013年高考英语一轮复习学案专题15: 完形填空 【备考策略】 一、完形填空的题型特点 近几年来的完形填空题有以下几个特点 1. 短文难度基本稳定与高中英语教材课文难易基本相当。 2. 短文选材一般为故事性文章极少采用其他题材的文章。但往往不按时间顺序平铺直叙有插叙或倒叙有时还夹有描述和议论。 3. 短文的第一句不设空格提供给考生一个思路以便考生做题。 4. 考查内容主要是逻辑上的通顺极少是考语法所以每题四个选项大多属同一语法范畴。 5. 短文长度基本稳定一般在250~300个单词左右。 二、完形填空选项设置的几个特点 1. 同义、近义词辨析型。多倾向考查动词、名词、形容词。(平时要多把这几类词性的词归纳记忆) 2. 固定搭配型。多倾向考查动词和介词或副词、名词和介词、形容词和介词典型句子结构的搭配。 2 3. 常用语法。时态和语态、从句连词。 4. 根据上下文的逻辑关系确定选项型
三、完形填空的解题步骤 时间分配 1)通读全文领会大意(2-3分钟); 2)逐句阅读选出答案(6-7分钟); 3)猜测难点、整体复查(2-3分钟)。 1. 跳过空格、通读全文、把握大意。先跳过空格通读试题所给的要完形填空的短文 获得整体印象做到弄清文脉、抓住主旨较好地把握短文大意。要在阅读理解短文意思的基础上才开始判定选择切忌仓促下笔。 2. 结合选项、综合考虑、初定答案。在理解全文意思的基础上再结合所给备选项细 读全文联系上、下文内容注意从上、下文的语法结构和词语搭配及从选择项中寻找解题的提示以词、句的意义为先再从分析句子结构入手根据短文意思、语法规则、词语固定搭配等进行综合考虑对备选项逐一进行分析、比较和筛选排除干扰项、初步选定答案。 3. 瞻前顾后、先易后难、各个击破。动笔时要瞻前顾后、通篇考虑、先易后难。对比 较明显直接的、自己最有把握的答案先做一下子不能确定答案的先跳过这一空格继续往下做最后回过头来再集中精力解决难点。这时可结合已确定答案的选项再读一遍短文 随着对短文理解的深入可以降低试题的难度提高选择的正确率。 3 4. 复读全文、逐空验证、弥补疏漏。完成各道题选择后把所选的答案代入原文再把全文通读一篇逐空认真复查。看所选定的答案是否使短文意思前后连贯、顺理成章语法结构是否正确是否符合习惯表达法。如发现错误答案或有疑问的应再次推敲、反复斟酌、做出修正。 四、做完形填空选择题时应注意如下几点
