第二节完形填空(共20小题, 满分30分)

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从第36至第55小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought 36 him as my “Valentine man”.

My first recollection of the _37_ he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 38 “Love, Dad”and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 39 my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is 40 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember 41 that ring with pride that all the cards in the world 42 not surpass (超越).

43 I grew older, the gifts gave 44 to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 45 _ chocolate and always included a 46 card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became 47 of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less 48 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would 49 be there. I had 50 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others”and

“Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 51 .

His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 52 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a 53_ of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.

Those things never 54 , nor does the memory of a man who never 55 being my Valentine.

第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节选择题（共17小题，满分34分）

A

SHE was known to millions as the “Queen of Crime” or the “Duchess (女公爵) of Death”. But surprisingly, she hated violence and blood, and knew nothing of the weapons most often used in murder. “I don’t think I dare look at a really horrible and damaged body,” Agatha Christie once said.

But her pen dared to travel where her eyes would not. In a 50-year writing career, Christie’s murder stories made her the world’s best-known mystery writer. Only the Bible and Shakespeare have sold more copies than her.

Her novels have been turned into films and TV series. This month, British ITV announced they will remake eight Christie films. “Her work has enduring appeal for viewers,” said director Laura Mackie. “There is always an appetite for a really good whodunit (侦探小说).”

Born in 1890 in England, Christie was educated at home and began her writing career while working as a nurse during World War I. She went on to produce 79 novels and numerous short stories, dying at the age of 86. With her knowledge of murder, Christie could have been a teacher at police academies.

Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, also introduced Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who starred in 30 of her works. Among the most popular are Murder on the Orient Express (1934), and Death on the Nile (1937).

Poirot is a tidy little man with a funny-looking moustache, an egg-shaped head, and a high opinion of himself. He draws conclusions from observing the behavior of those around him, always managing to spot patterns that others cannot see. Poirot has become so famous that someone has even written his biography, The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot.

56. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. It mainly tells readers how Agatha Christie took off on her way of writing.

B. It’s an introduction to main characters like Poirot in Agatha Christie’s books.

C. It mainly presents readers a picture of Agatha Christie’s daily life in England.

D. It is mainly an introduction of a famous British writer named Agatha Christie.

57. What can we learn about Agatha Christie according to the passage?

A. She was a famous writer known as "Queen of Crime" and the "Duchess of horror".

B. She wrote works about violence because she was treated violently at a young age.

C. Her books sell so well that the sales are next only to the Bible and Shakespeare.

D. She became a teacher at police academies because of her knowledge of murder.

58. Which of the following is Not correct about Pirot?

A. His moustache looks funny.

B. His head looks like an egg.

C. His behavior is very strange.

D. He thinks highly of himself.

59. We can conclude from the passage that _____.

A. Agatha Christie was the world’s best-known mystery writer because of her mysterious life

B. there are always some people interested in detective stories

C. Agatha Christie managed to write her first book during the period of the 2nd World War

D. Poirot was a main character in half of Agatha Christie’s works

B

THREE years ago, the president of Harvard, Lawrence H. Summers, got into trouble for questioning women's "intrinsic (内在的) aptitude (能力)" for science and engineering. Recently, a study paid for by America's National Science Foundation has found that girls perform as well as boys on standardized math tests.

Although boys in high school performed better than girls in math 20 years ago, the researchers found, that is no longer the case. The reason, they said, is simple: Girls used to take fewer advanced math courses than boys, but now they are taking just as many.

"Now that enrollment in advanced math courses is equalized, we don't see gender differences in test performance," said Marcia C. Linn of the University of California, Berkeley, a co-author of the study. "But people are surprised by these findings, which suggests to me that the stereotypes are still there."

The researchers looked at the average test scores of all students, the performance of the most gifted children and the ability to solve complex math problems. They found, in every category, that girls did as well as boys.

Janet Hyde, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who led the study, said the stereotypes about girls and math had taken a toll (造成伤害).

"The stereotype that boys do better at math is still held widely by teachers and parents," Hyde said. "And teachers and parents guide girls, giving them advice about what courses to take, what careers to pursue. I still hear anecdotes about guidance counselors (顾问) steering (指导) girls

away from engineering, telling them they won't be able to do the math."

The study also analyzed the gender gap on the math section of the SAT. Since more girls than boys go to college, about 100,000 more girls than boys take the test, including lower-achieving girls who bring down the girls' average score.

60. What might be the reason to carry out the study?

A. To put Harvard University to shame for its president's prejudice against girls.

B. To find out if there's any gender gap in science.

C. To help girls to earn equal social status as boys.

D. To enroll more girls in advanced math courses in the university.

61. Which statement about people's opinions of girls is NOT true?

A. People still find it hard to believe average girls perform in math as well as boys.

B. Highly educated people are more likely to accept the fact that girls can do well in math.

C. Many teachers and parents advise girls to avoid careers like engineering based on their talent.

D. Some guidance counselors think careers related with math are not suitable for girls.

62. What can we learn from the text EXCEPT__?

A. Girls used to perform worse than boys in math because they didn't take as many advanced math courses.

B. The stereotype about girls and math may lead to misguided choice of future career.

C. The average lower scores of girls in SAT math test prove that boys do better in math.

D. The public doesn't accept outspoken prejudice against girls' talent for math despite the stereotype.

63. The main purpose of writing the passage is to _____.

A. report the findings of a research into girls' math ability

B. criticize those who hold the wrong belief that girls cannot do well in math

C. prove that the stereotype that girls do worse in math is wrong

D. help girls regain confidence in learning math well

C

LAST week Chinese warships departed on a mission to protect commercial vessels (船) and crews (船员) from pirate attacks off Somalia.

The fleet, which contains two missile destroyers and a large supply ship, is armed with special forces and helicopters. The mission also plans to share information with other countries working in the area, military officials said.

The operation is China’s first major naval mission abroad. The two missile destroyers Haikou and Wuhan are top-of-the-line Chinese navy vessels. They sail at a speed of 30 knots. On board the destroyer, there are two helicopters, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-vessel missiles and cannon torpedoes. The destroyers can direct fire at a target 10 kilometers away.

One major issue for the ships is how they will resupply so far from home. Officials said it will mostly depend on the supply ship, but China will also negotiate with other countries in the area to allow the ships to dock (停靠码头) and resupply.

“In light of the peculiarity (特殊) of this operation, we have also dispatched (派遣) some special forces ... these special forces will carry light weapons that correspond (相符) with the specific features and needs of this operation,” a Chinese military official said at a news conference last Tuesday.

Though the purpose of the mission is to protect Chinese ships and crews, China has called for stepped-up cooperation on anti-piracy efforts. China announced it was sending warships to the area after the UN Security Council authorized nations to conduct land and air attacks on pirate bases.

“During the escort (护航) operation, Chinese ships are ready and willing to strengthen information and intelligence sharing as well as conduct humanitarian rescue operations with vessels of relevant countries according to the situation on the ground,”said Huang Xueping, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense.

The plan is for a mission of three months, according to Chinese news media. Piracy has taken an increasing toll (损耗) on international shipping, especially in the Gulf of Aden (亚丁湾), one of the world’s busiest sea-lanes. Pirates have made an estimated $30 million hijacking (劫持) ships this year, seizing more than 40 vessels off Somalia’s 3, 000km coastline.

The People’s Liberation Army Navy has primarily focused on defending China’s coastline and, until now, limited operations abroad to port calls, goodwill visits and exercises with other navies.

64. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. It’s a general introduction to the People’s Liberation Army Navy in China.

B. It mainly informs us how serious the problem of piracy has become.

C. It mainly introduces to readers China’s first major naval mission abroad.

D. It mainly tells readers why China sent her warships to Somalia last week.

65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. This is first time China has carried out major exercises with other navies.

B. The destroyers are so powerful that they can aim at a target 10 km away.

C. Besides some advanced arms, there are 3 helicopters on every destroyer.

D. According to the mission, the fleet will stay in Somalia for four months.

66. The Chinese warships off Somalia will do the following EXCEPT _________.

A. protecting Chinese commercial ships and crews

B. sharing information with other countries working in the area

C. conducting humanitarian rescue operations with vessels

D. helping Somali government to fight against violence

67. What can we conclude from the passage?

A. The mission has been authorized by the U.N. Security Council.

B. The Gulf of Aden is the busiest sea-lane in the world.

C. The special forces on the destroyer will carry heavy weapons.

D. It’s estimated that pirates off Somalia seized 50 vessels last year.

68. How many ways are mentioned to solve the resupply for the Chinese ships?

A. One

B. Two

C. Three

D. Four

D

Scattered throughout the various reports on sleep research are several that describe some unusual behavior by people who are sleepwalking. These include eating, making phone calls and even murder.

Now, there’s a new case appearing in one more study on this strange phenomenon: sleep e-mailing.

In an article published in journal Sleep Medicine, Seton Hall University researchers document the following case of a 44-year-old woman:

This woman received a puzzling phone call from a friend who said she was accepting her

dinner invitation — an invitation that the woman could not remember having made.

The friend reminded the woman of the e-mail she had sent the night before — an e-mail of which the woman also had no recollection. However, a quick search through her sent e-mail folder did turn up one strange e-mail. She had apparently sent it to her friend — at 11:47 the previous night.

The puzzling message said: “I don’t get it. Please explain Lucy! Come tomorrow and sort this out! Dinner and drinks, 4 pm? Wine and caviar (鱼子酱) to bring only. Everything else, a guess?

There were two other e-mails sent to her friend at 11:50pm and 11:53 pm, each of which seemed to be written in a strange language, full of capitalization errors and phrases that didn’t make sense.

According to Dr Fouzia Siddiqui, lead author of the case study, this particular sleepwalking case was unique and was the first and only published account of “sleep e-mailing”. But Siddiqui says that it is even more notable for the amount of complex actions the woman had to take in order to write the e-mails.

“Sleepwalking has occurred in the past where people would undertake other activities such as cooking or moving furniture around,” Siddiqui said. “ But this case is unique in that she wasn’t just sleeping but doing things like turning on her computer, remembering her user name and password and typing entire e-mails.”

Just what is sleepwalking

It is actually a kind of sleep disorder. Studies have found that somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of people are sleepwalkers.

It comes from a mixture of wakefulness and non-REM (非快速眼动期) sleep. Sleepwalkers can carry out complex behavior such as driving, walking, e-mailing and telephoning in a sleep-like state.

People with high levels of stress and anxiety, or those who have a family history of sleepwalking are more likely to experience it.

69. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. It analyzes what sleepwalking is and its effects on people.

B. It explains to readers why and how sleepwalking forms.

C. It mainly reports on a recent unique case of sleepwalking.

D. It tells about various kinds of sleepwalking there are.

70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. More than ten percent of people have the problem of sleepwalking.

B. A boy whose parents are sleepwalkers may become a sleepwalker.

C. Sleepwalking is a problem which is related to both age and anxiety.

D. Sleepwalkers won’t hurt others at all when they are sleepwalking.

71. Why does Siddiqui say the unique case of the sleepwalking woman is more notable?

A. Two of her e-mails sent while sleepwalking seemed like alien’s works.

B. The case of the sleepwalking woman has interested scientists in the world.

C. The case of the woman is the first known account of "sleeping e-mailing".

D. The sleepwalking woman took a lot of complex actions.

72. What does the phrase "make sense" mean in the 7th paragraph?

A. have a clear meaning

B. move others deeply

C. have a good end

D. interest others

第二节简答题（共3小题，满分6分）

阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

If your friends are happy, you will probably be happy too. Researchers who studied social networks of more than 5,000 people found that happiness partly depends on the mood of those around you.

Professor Nicholas Christakis from Harvard Medical School and Professor James Fowler from the University of California, San Diego, carried out the research. They found that groups of happy and unhappy people were visible in the networks. And the effect lasted for three degrees of separation. That means one person can benefit from the happiness of his friends’ friends.

It suggests having frequent contact with other people is more important for the spread of happiness rather than the depth of the relationship, the authors said. That is because the closer people are physically the more likely the happiness is to be passed on.

If you have a friend who lives within a mile and who becomes happy, it increases the probability that you will become happy by 25 percent. Similar effects are seen in spouses (配偶) who live together, siblings (兄弟姐妹) who live within a mile of each other and next-door neighbors.

The authors said happiness really spreads and the effect is not because happy people band together.

They suggest the way happiness spreads may be through copying of facial expressions.

Other explanations include that happy people might share their good fortune. They would be helpful or financially generous to others, or they would change their behavior towards others by being nicer.

The study was based on data collected in the Framingham Heart Study. In that study 5,124 adults aged 21-70 were followed between 1971 and 2003.

第一节填空（共10小题，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第76至第85小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意：每空不超过3 个单词。

In many English homes four meals are served; they are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. These are the meals that are served in the homes of people who are well to do.

Breakfast may be served any time for seven to nine. It consist of porridge, bacon and eggs (boiled or fried), butter toast or bread-and-butter with marmalade (酸果酱). Instead of bacon and eggs, fish may be served. Either tea or coffee is drunk at breakfast.

Lunch comes at about one o’clock. It generally consists of cold meat (left over from yesterday’s dinner), potatoes, and salad. After that there is bread or biscuits and cheese. Most people drink water at lunchtime; some drink beer or wine. It is not the custom to drink the spirits (烈性酒) like whisky or brandy even wealthy homes in the middle of the day.

Afternoon tea, taken between four and five, is the most informal meal of the day. If you are a friend of the family you may drop in for tea without an invitation or telling them that you are

coming. Each person has a cup and saucer, a spoon and a small plate for bread-and-butter and cake. By the way, do not help yourself to cake first; bread-and-butter first, and then cake if there is any. Another piece of advice: do not put more than one piece of bread or cake on your plate at the same time.

Dinner is the most substantial (丰盛的) meal of the day and is a very formal meal. Many people even wear special clothes for dinner, so if you are asked out of dinner you must find out whether you are expected to wear a dinner suit; for you would feel very embarrassed if, when you go there, you were the only person in ordinary clothes. Dinner is generally served at about half past seven. All the members of the family sit down together and are on their best behavior. The head of the family sits at one end of the table; his wife sits at the other. If there is a guest, he generally sits in the place of honor, which is at the right of lady of the house. If there are several guests the most important is asked to sit there. During the meal conservation is carried on, you should try to get into the conversation with the person on your right or left, but you should not try to talk to someone who is a long way from you.

书面表达范文(One possible version)

Dear Mr. Liu,

We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views. In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something and then figure out the important as well as key points. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. We still have another request: if only you assigned us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.

By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. We would

appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement and be concerned more about our psychological problems before examinations now and then.

Yours sincerely

Zhang Hua
