【听力原文】
M: Well, I’d love to share with you my personal opinions on citylife and life in small towns. I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and thenmoved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. Inever thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. Afterten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again.Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms oftransport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. Youcan’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transport.Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there youhave a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, ifyou don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the excitinglife in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and otherwonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The finalthing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people.However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I thinkthat living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly becomedull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where smalltowns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more carefuland live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.

35. It was the middle of the night ______ myfather woke me up and told me to watch the football game.
A. that
B. as
C. which
D. when
【答案】D查看答案
【解析】考查状语从句。句意：午夜时父亲叫醒我，告诉我看足球赛。此处是由 when引导的时间状语从句。故选D项。themiddle of the night前没有介词，所以不能和that构成强调句型；从句中主干部分是完整的，所以不能用代词as或which。

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly,his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he hadnever looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the smalldiving shop just along the shore, he had hated them. They were either too bigor too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson beforeallowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception.

After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventuresonly got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black andblue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boatsinto the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him fromcontinuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but thatdid not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of theunderwater creatures.
Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined tovisit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around thedifferent spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was, how manyspots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spotsafforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more thanthirty varieties of creatures.

D
Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one'spersonal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person's abilityto change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a betterlife and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only inso far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new andmore efficient ways of doing things.
However, at the back of the minds of many people,especially those who miss the "good old days", efficiency comes witha price. When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contactone another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. Theclick of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other withouteven leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phonesand iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in theperson's presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarilyexcuse ourselves or turn the other person off.
With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is thenature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories haveimproved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products arebetter made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could everhave done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss ofthe personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts（手工艺品） are now produced in a factory. Although this means thatsupply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick andefficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality ofthe handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzingprogress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed traditionto keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that manyold products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is requiredfor old products to stay old.
It is people's attitude towards progress that causes thetype of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. Thereis no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people's attitude. Theworst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink theirattitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suitour needs, a new "past" is created.
70. According to Paragraph 1, progress canbenefit people when they are willing to
A. live a better life
B. look for better methods
C. change ways of living
D. accept technology and advance steadily
71. The underlined word "gadgets"is closest in meaning to ______.
A. tools
B. messages
C. barriers
D. skills
72. The author explains "efficiencycomes with a price" by ______.
A. describing a process
B. using examples
C. following time order
D. making classification
73. Compared with home-made handicrafts,machine-made products ______.
A. lack great accuracy
B. lack the personal touch
C. are of high value
D. are quite welcome
74. What can be learned about technologyfrom Paragraph 4?
A. It can destroy old traditions.
B. It can lead to social progress.
C. It can be used to correct mistakes.
D. It can be used to preserve old products.
75. What can be concluded from the lastparagraph?
A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life,
B. People review the past with great regret.
C. Technology should be introduced in a fixedway.
D. People's attitude decides the use oftechnology.
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文，主要提出“新技术的使用取决于人们的态度”这一观点并加以论证。
【答案及解析】
70.D 细节理解题。根据第一段第四句“Allthese, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technologyand move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.”可知，当人们愿意接受技术，稳步前进时，进步就会使他们获利。故选D项。
71.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“such asmobile phones and iPads”可知，gadgets指的是工具。故选A项。
72.B 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，作者通过举例解释本句话的含义。故选 B项。
73.B 细节理解题。根据第三段第五句“However,with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touchwhen making these products.”可知，机器制造的产品缺乏个人感觉。故选B项。
74.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第三、四句“It isonly with progress and the invention of new technology that many old productscan be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for oldproducts to stay old.”可知，新技术可以用来保护传统的旧产品。故选D项。

Thelight from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent thedamp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tomwished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, butnot near this swamp.
“So,”Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get itsname?”
“Areyou sure you want to hear it? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Ofcourse!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’thave chosen this place!”
“Ok,but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.
“Wayback in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built thatcottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different —it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. Afterthree hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He wasso proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“ ‘Youare clearing too much land,’ warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing.It will hit back at you if you abuse it. ‘
“‘Sillyfool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops.I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”
“Denniscontinued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food andshelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did notnotice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice saltseeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking allthe native plants.”
“Whathappened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his bodycloser to the fire.
“Theland hit back — just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennisdisappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from theriver and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“Whata stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t …” Before he had finished speaking,he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom.Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face. Itwas a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

A. courage
B. assistance　
C. instruction

60.What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?

【答案及解析】
【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Dennis’s Swamp的名字的由来。

58.D 考查细节理解。根据文章第八段的内容可知，Dennis不听老人的劝告的原因是他想开垦更多的土地，种更多的庄稼，从而变得更加富裕。所以选D项。
59.B 考查推理判断。根据题干信息定位至文章最后一段倒数第二句“Some green swamp ivy had covered Tom’s face.”可知，选B项。
60.A 考查推理判断。因为贪婪，Dermis失去了全部，包括自己的性命。因而他的故事告诉我们：贪多必失。所以选A项。B项意为“一分耕耘，一分收获”；C项意为“覆水难收”；D项意为“不犯错误的人必一事无成”。
B
Wheninternational aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches thepeople for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. Itis very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in anothernation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct thedistribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied withthis is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women inevery country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods andearthquakes.
Morethan the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it wouldbe more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A commonproverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eatfor a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teachpeople from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, acountry could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areaslike agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or evenin building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developednations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a waterpurification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful forcountries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not costmuch to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for anumber of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. Theycan then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary comeback form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid willbe truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it fallinginto the wrong hands.
Manycountries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost muchto include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective helpto the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships toconsider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the shortrun and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in thelong run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
61. According to the author, how could international aid reach thevictims in time?
A. By solvingthe cost problems
B. By solvingthe transportation problems
C. By settingup a body of devoted people in every country.
D. By relyingon the direct distribution of the UNO.
62.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?
A. Providingfood is vital
B. Learning tofish is helpful
C. Teachingskills is essential
D. Lookingafter others is important.
63.The second paragraph is developed mainly ______.
A. by example
B. by process
C. bycomparison
D. by contrast
64.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?
A. A medicalteam.
B. An exchangeprogram.
C. A waterplant.
D. Financialsupport.
65.What can we infer about international aid from the passage?
A. It is facingdifficulties.
B. It isunnecessary during normal times
C. It should begiven in the form of materials
D. It hasgained support developed countries
【答案及解析】
【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文章中阐述了自己对国际援助的看法：授人以鱼，不如授人以渔。
61.C 考查细节理解。由题干信息定位至第一段的最后一句“Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women inevery country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods andearthquakes.”可知，联合国组织可以建立乐于奉献的团体，然后通过他们及时把救助品分发给那些受灾的人。所以选C项。
62.C 考查推理判断。画线句子的意思是“授人以鱼，不如授人以渔”，也就是说：教会别人技能非常重要。所以选C项。

Manypeople think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It isbecause they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do thework, that most people do not listen well.
Listeningwell also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part oflistening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes thetemporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, toexperience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, steppinginto his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing,it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing thisacceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part ofhis or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energyrequired for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by thewill to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Mostof the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our businessdealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we areusually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mindand wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get theconversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways moresatisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than inlistening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
Itwasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledgethat one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of thepatients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months ofpsychotherapy(心理疗法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There areseveral reasons for this phenomenon, buzt chief among them, I believe, was thepatient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the firsttime in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
66. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2probably means ______.
A. preparing atopic list first　
B. focusing onone’s own mind
C. directingthe talk to the desired results　
D. experiencingthe speaker’s inside world
67.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. How tolisten well. 　
B. What tolisten to.
C. Benefits oflistening.  
D. Problems inlistening
68.According to the author, in communication people tend to ______.
A. listenactively
B. listenpurposefully　
C. set asidetheir prejudices
D. open uptheir inner mind
69.According to the author, the patients improved mainly because ______.
A. they weretaken good care of.  
B. they knewthey were truly listened to.
C. they hadpartners to talk to. 　
D. they knewthe roots of problems.
70.What type of writing the article likely to be?
A. Sciencefiction　
B. A newsreport.
C. A medicalreport.
D. Popularscience

Onemight expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bringnothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, arosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Everymonth sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-boundPacific island is advertised as the “last paradise(天堂) on earth”.
However,the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things touristswant to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick moneyout of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles ofendless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Thosecountries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Itsforests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as onemore untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects ofthousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tacksbecame major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation ofprecious trees and plants.
Notonly the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism.The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels,roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now theservant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master.Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. Nodoubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully,the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards thosecountries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and thecreation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in factobtain financial support form tourist companies. At the same time, tourists arebeing encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also itspeople.
Theway tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that ofthe countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more importantthan those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planningworld-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in afew years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have beendestroyed.
71. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph1?
A. The Pacificisland is a paradise.  
B. The Pacificisland is worth visiting.
C. Theadvertisement is not convincing. 　
D. Theadvertisement is not impressive
72.The example of Nepal is used to suggest ______.
A. its naturalresources are untouched.  
B. its forestsare exploited for farmland
C. it developswell in health and education.  
D. it suffersfrom the heavy flow of tourists.
73.What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4?
A. They arehappy to work their own lands.  
B. They have toplease the tourists for a living.
C. They have tostruggle for their independence.
D. They areproud of working in multi-national organizations.
74.Which of the following determines the future of tourism?

B. Theimprovement of services.
C. Thepromotion of new products.  　
D. Themanagement of tourism
75. The author’s attitude towards the development of the touristindustry is ______.

B. doubtful
C. objective
D. negative
【答案及解析】
【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过举例子阐述了旅游业带来的负面影响。
71.C 考查推理判断。第一段的最后一句话的意思是：每个月都有另外一个太平洋岛屿被宣称是“地球上最后的天堂”。其实太平洋中的岛屿也就那么多，由此可以看出，这些广告只是为了吸引游客，是不可信的。所以选C项。
72.D 考查推理判断。从第三段第三句“In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effectsof thousands of holiday makers traveling through the forest land.”可知，尼泊尔为了在医疗健康和教育方面获得更多的资金投入而大力发展旅游业，对外开放了森林，然而，大自然很快就受到了旅游业带来的负面影响。作者在文章中举尼泊尔的例子就是为了说明这种负面影响。
73.B 考查细节理解。从第四段倒数第三句中的“The one-time farmer is now the servant of somemulti-national organization…now it is his smile that is exploited.”可知，昔日的农民摇身一变，成为了服务员，他们不再是自己土地的主人了，他们通过取悦游客来谋生。所以选B项。
74.D 考查细节理解。从最后一段第一句“The way tourism is handled in the next tenyears will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit.”可知，旅游业的前景受到该行业的管理方式的影响。所以选D项。
75.C 考查推理判断。作者在文章中通过举例子的方式阐述了旅游业带来的负面影响，不偏不倚，没有掺杂任何个人感情，因而作者对旅游业的发展的态度是客观的。

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。
[1]Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport. People spend many dollarseach year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, theyspend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can seethat fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that theirhobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and thatit is a cruel hobby.
[2]Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions ofpeople who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families.They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger tothe species (种类).
[3]Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money onequipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes ontheir equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay foraccommodation (食宿)and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
[4]Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turningto drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed aregenerally healthier and much nicer to be near — except for the smell of thebait!
[5]Those who ______ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken fromrivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of somespecies. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of theworld, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males andfemales, leaving few fish to produce young.
[6]Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that ananimal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sportare not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have nochance of escape.

W: So I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for theinformation and he couldn’t find it?
M: Yeah, that’s exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh thinkthere must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind ofinformation. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested infinding facts about the records to satisfy their curiosity.
W: So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did thefirst book come out?

For those whomake journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned thecountries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greaterto a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked fromvillage to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to theother, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some peoplewonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, theysay, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, notendured (忍受). Theboat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights andsounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage windowcreate a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane,however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows ofthe airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up theonly world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there isthe time spent being“processed”at a modem airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways;baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again beforethe passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea takelonger, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure andarrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modernhigh-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, isnow a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The workinglives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been builtaround its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time tospend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flightto gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controlspeople’s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so weare told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, openplains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They couldtravel at will, and the clock was not their master.
71.What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?
A. Travel byplane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B. The speed ofmodern travel has made distances relatively short,
C. The freedomof movement has helped people realize their dreams.
D. Man has beenfond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
72. How does the writer support the underlined statement inParagraph 2?
A. By givinginstructions.
B. By analyzingcause and effect.
C. By followingthe order of time.
D. By givingexamples.
73. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modemhigh-speed trains because ______.
A. they payless for the tickets
B. they feelsafer during the travel
C. they ranenjoy higher speed of travel
D. they don’thave to waste time being “processed”
74.What does the last sentence of the passage mean?
A. They enjoytree and relaxing travel.
B. They neededthe clock to tell the time.
C. Theypreferred traveling on horseback.
D. They couldtravel with their master.
75.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Air travelbenefits people and industries.
B. Train travelhas some advantages over air travel.
C. Greatchanges have taken place in modern travel.
D. The highspeed of air travel is gained at a cost.
【答案及解析】
71.B 根据第一段中心句“Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other,allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.”，可知现代的旅游速度让人们可以很快地从一个地方到达另一个地方，这似乎缩短了地域之间的距离。故选项B正确。
72.D 第二段的画线句子后面就是对于这个观点的具体解释，用火车轮船飞机的例子来说明论点。故选项D正确。
73.D 根据第三段中的“Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted tobeing“processed”at departure and arrival inairports are luckily absent.”可知，如今火车进出站很方便，游客更倾向于坐火车。故选项D正确。
74.A 根据倒数第二句前面的“were enjoying a better world than the one we know today”可知他们比现在我们更能享受到自由的美景。故选项A正确。
75.D 本文出现的关键词airplane，排除BC，文章并不是侧重于乘飞机的优点，而是人们为了追求速度乘飞机所付出的代价。故选项D符合题意。

第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节　阅读表达
[1]Stampcollectors usually collect stamps only from certain countries or regions. Thetraditional method of stamp collecting is to organize stamp collectionaccording to the issue dates.
[2]Of course,there are many ______. You can collect stamps relating to a particular theme. Forexample, sport lovers may choose the Olympic theme. They try their best to findOlympic stamps issued by various parts of the world every four years. Some ofthem may want to concentrate on even more specific sport activities like ballgames, gymnasium, swimming, etc.
[3]If you likeastronomy, you may be keen on collecting stamps describing the stars, planets,spacecraft, spacemen, etc. once you have fixed the topic, you no longer need tobother about stamps other than the theme you selected. Then, you can put allyour effort to collect the stamps around it.
[4]China issueszodiac animal stamps (十二生肖邮票) every year to celebrate the Lunar New Year. They are extremely popularand a lot of collectors wait patiently for 12 years to collect a full set ofthem. Hong Kong’s Lunar New Year special stamp series began in 2000 with theYear of Dragon and the twelfth and final set was issued in 2011, the Year ofRabbit.

【听力原文】
M: We are glad to have Dr.Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the firstquestion. Does every one dream?
W: It appears that everyone does.Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is thatthey don’t remember their dreams or they don’t think their dreams areimportant. The reason behind is that they might have been made one with a childwhen they first report their dreams or it was so frightening that they justturned off dreaming completely. The other day someone named Davis came to meand said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped havingdreams. I asked him what had happened. It turned out that his brother died of aheart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to ayoung person. Generally, when they are with some frightening events and dreamabout it was too terrible, people prefer not to dream about it. Actually, theworst thing you can do is stop dreaming, because it means that the badexperience was too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you aredreaming about it and even if the dreams are frightening, your mind is workingon it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal withour problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person ishurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill, or when a person has beenreally sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don’t allowthemselves to even think about it.

38.B 由下文的to get comfortable可知玛丽将自己的脚放到沙发上歇息。
39.D 认为照看小孩是一份赚钱容易的工作的人显然没遇见这三个男孩。
40.A 由下文的I mustn’t sleep可知，玛丽越来越看，她的眼皮越来越沉。
41.B 但她实在太疲惫了，与她的想法正好相反，她睡着了。
42.D 由后文第四段最后一句中的a sharp sound awoke her可知，玛丽已进入梦乡。第三、四段描述她的梦境，故此处用dreamt。
43.B make a fortune意思是“发财，赚钱”，与梦中的wore diamonds and designer clothes相吻合。

51.B 由上文She tried hard to move, but could not可知，她竭尽所能但无法动弹，直到(until)一阵尖锐的响声将她吵醒。
52.A 由下文的some very burnt bread可知，此处应选择smoke。
53.C 三个小男孩在厨房将面包烤糊了，他们感到很内疚。guilty“内疚的”。
54.D 结合第三、四段玛丽的梦和下文的never to fall asleep on the job again可知，此处应选择asleep。

A
“Mum, what doesit mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)？”Jessica asked. “A skeleton inthe closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it’s something that youwould rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past,someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘askeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to knowabout it.”
“Why pick on myfamily?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good,you know. Wasn’t your great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transportedto Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are nota real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry Iasked.

C
The garden citywas largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850 – 1928). After immigratingfrom England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as afarmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city afterthe disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”,almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan oftowns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s,drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a uniquecombination of designs.
Thenineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty andcrowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time,the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promisedfresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression（萧条） and it offered neitherenough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the bestof town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s ideawas that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money toestablish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existingcities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden citieswould provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connectingindustries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, alsoowned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrialinstitutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach itsplanned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started ashort distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned housecollection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city wouldoffer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to theothers by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic andsocial opportunities of a big city.
66. How did Howard get the name for his building plan of gardencities?
A. Through hisobservation of the country life.
B. Through thecombination of different ideas.
C. By takingother people’s advice.
D. By using thenickname of the reconstructed Chicago.
67. The underlined phrase “drawing on” in Paragraph 1 probably means______.
A. making useof  
B. makingcomments on
C. giving anexplanation of
D. giving adescription of
68.According to Howard, garden cities should be built ______.
A. as far aspossible from existing cities
B. in thecountryside where the land was cheap
C. in thecountryside where agriculture was developed
D. near citieswhere employment opportunities already existed
69.What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?
A. Their numberwould continue to rise
B. Each onewould continue to become larger
C. People wouldlive and work in the same place
D. Each onewould contain a certain type of business
70.What could be the best title for the passage?
A. City andCountryside
B. TheInvention of the Garden City
C. A New City in Chicago
D. A FamousGarden City in England
【答案及解析】
【解题导语】本文介绍了Ebenezer Howard设计的英国花园城市。

Why shouldmankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring andresearching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources bespent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questionsthat, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the bestanswer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the treesinto the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider thespread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reasonfor exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly everysuccessful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers insurrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we maybe completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen itseffects.
Exploration alsoallows minerals and other potential（潜在的）resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them,they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physicalpossessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length orquality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offsincluding improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weatherforecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirroredsunglasses are by-products（副产品）of technological developments in the space industry!
While manyresources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of spaceallows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on whatmay serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of howthe universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The dangerexists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability toreach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth isthe only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humanswould allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would bedifferent, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surelycould in the future.
71.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?
A. To expresshis doubts.
B. To comparedifferent ideas.
C. To introducepoints for discussion.
D. To describethe conditions on Earth.
72.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?
A. Humans arenature-born to do so.
B. Humans havethe tendency to fight.
C. Humans mayfind new sources of food.
D. Humans don’tlike to stay in the same place.
73. The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refersto ______.
A. survivalchances
B. potentialresources
C. unexpectedbenefits
D. physicalpossessions
74.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A. Our geneticmakeup.
B. Resources onthe earth.
C. The adaptiveability of humans.
D. By-productsin space exploration.
75.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Spaceexploration has created many wonders.
B. Spaceexploration provided the best value for money.
C. Spaceexploration can benefit science and technology.
D. Spaceexploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

[1]It is nowpossible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week, and thecurrent amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come.This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, andthere are both benefits and shortcomings to this.
[2]Why has therebeen such growth in televised sport? For one thing, with digital broadcasting,there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago.Moreover, sport has become an important form of entertainment, appealing toboth men and women.
[3]When are thebenefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to the profession isthe addition of money provided by television companies. Large football clubsbenefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very largesalaries. Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in trainingand awareness-raising. What’s more, there is a health benefit to some of thepopulation, because through televised sport, more people have become interestedin actually playing sport.
[4]However, ______if so much sport is on television. Considering football again, many small clubshave suffered financial losses recently, as they cannot compete with the largeones. There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially amongsmaller clubs. Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watchfrom the comfort of their living room. And ticket prices have risen greatly.
[5]To sum up,while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certainpeople and clubs very much, it has also been responsible for changingthe nature of live sports events for ever.

79.

Good morning,everyone,
I am Li Hua from  Xingguang Middle School. It is my great honor to be here to share my opinionswith you. The topic of my speech is “Let’s Ride Bicycles”. As we all know, withthe improvement of people’s living standards, cars have become a popular meansof transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have alsocaused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams. How can we solve theseproblems then? As far as I’m concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol andthey are energy-saving. For another thing,bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won’t give off waste gas.
What’s more, riding bicycles is agood way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health. Therefore,let’s take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles.Come on and join us!

45.A 因为老妇人是开车，所以用drive。
46.B 根据语境：从那开始，只要沿着“指示牌”就能找到机场了。address地址，住址。sign符号，手势。notice通知，告示。guidance指导，引导。所以只有D项符合题意。
47.D 但是我担心你不可能5分钟内到达机场。there is no way，不可能，没办法。
48.C make it成功做某事。别担心，我会及时到达的。
49.B 上文出现“the passenger-window began to slide down”，由此可知答案是B。
50.C 上文提到了“go back five kilometers”，故小车调转车头，故用turned。
51.A 根据下文可知，小汽车变形了。所以这里表示奇怪“strange”的事发生了。
52.D 根据下文“from black to silvery-grey”可知，车子颜色逐渐由黑色消退为银灰色。fade from由……退去。
53.B 车轮不见了，但是车还在移动。说明车飘“floating”起来了。
54.D 根据汽车的一系列变化可知，汽车升上了天空。故此处用“rise” into the dark sky最符合当时的情景。
55.C 伴随微弱的鸣笛声“sound”，汽车很快消失了。

A
Andy rode slowlyon his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father hadpromised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that hewas unaware of everything else around him.
He rode alonguntil a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and lookedcuriously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A hugeswarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed tobe heading angrily towards him.
With no time towaste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but withoutknowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legspumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, hispanic (惊慌)increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landedhim in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay inbed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you arein a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”
On a nearbyhill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelsonfamily home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into thehouse.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground.Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the beeswould catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, out ofthe corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigatehis vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearingbelow the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breathfor as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone.Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang thedoorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.
“You’ll reallyneed that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief.“Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreamingonce again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.
56.Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?
A. He wasriding to school.
B. He waslistening to a strange sound.
C. He was goingfishing with his father.
D. He was lostin the thought of the fishing trip.
57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of beesin the passage?
A. They crowdedlike a black cloud.
B. They shockedand terrified Andy.
C. They triedto attack Andy in a mass.
D. They madeAndy stay in hospital for two days.
58.How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?
A. He asked Mr.Nelson in help.
B. He hidhimself under the water.
C. He rushedinto the Nelson house.
D. He rode offin the opposite direction.
59. Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from thebees?
A. No pain nogains.
B. Once bitten,twice she
C. Where thereis a will, there is a way.
D. In time ofdanger, one’s mind works fast.
【答案及解析】
56.D 推理判断题。由第一段第二句“He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that hewas unaware of everything else around him. “内容可推知。
57.D 事实细节题。根据文章二、三段内容可知前三项正确。D项错误，因为Andy是在家休息了两天，而不是在医院。
58.B 细节推理题。根据第五段第三句中的“off his bike and into the cool water he dived...”可知，Andy跳下水池才避开了蜜蜂。
59.D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了在紧要关头Andy 想起父亲对他说过的话“When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain andthink your way out of it.”从而成功避开蜜蜂。和D选项吻合。

Kong Zi, alsocalled Confucius (551-479 B.C), and Socrates (469-399
B. C) lived onlya hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact betweenChina and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each ofthese great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas inturn ,shaped their societies.
Neitherphilosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-stateswere small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed himto be more radical than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked byrules how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, onthe other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his studentswent out to government service.
Confuciussuggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:” Do not do toothers what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all menwere equal at birth, though some bad more potential than others, and that itwas knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thoughtthat the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that thesuperior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.
For Socrates,the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. ForConfucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with familyrelations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men arerespected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
64. Which of the following is TUREaccording to the first paragraph?
A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common,
B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C. The societies ware influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
65. Socrates shared with Confucius theidea that ______.
A. all men were equal when they were born
B. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class
C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
66. What made some people different fromothers according to Confucius?
A. Family.
B. Potential.　
C. Knowledge.　
D. Community.
67. This passage is organized in thepattern of ______.
A. time and events
B. comparison and contrast
C. cause and effect
D. definition and classification
【答案及解析】
64.C 细节推理题。根据文章第一段的内容可推知最后一句后半句“...and how these ideasin turn，shapedtheir societies”是本段的主题，而A项在第一段中没有提及，B项与D项与第一段的“during their life timesthere was no contact between China and Greece”不符。
65.B 判断推理题。根据第三段的最后一句“Like Confucius, he believed that thesuperior class should rule the inferior classes.”可知B选项正确。
66.C 细节判断题。根据文章第三段第三句中的“it was knowledge that set menapart.”可以判断出答案。
67.B 主旨大意题。本文主要是比较孔子和苏格拉底两个哲学大师的哲学思想，以及对人类生活造成的影响。故B项正确。
D
Moderninventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundredmiles in little more than an hour. Aircraft cross the world a day, whilecomputers operate at lightning speed．Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-carsare produced which go even faster each new computer boasts（吹嘘）of saving precious secondsin handling tasks.
All this savestime, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across theworld in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feelingknown as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in anothertime zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrist andfingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists;too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence wedo not like to think about.
　However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax or soit seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficultto sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the daysare long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, lettingimaginations take us into another world.
There was a timewhen some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land orthe care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a muchgentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy abouta way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasksour ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger,and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed peoplefrom that primitive existence.
68.The new products become more and more time-saving because ______.
A. our love ofspeed seems never-ending
B. time islimited
C. the pricesare increasingly high
D. themanufacturers boast a lot
69.What does“the days”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Imaginarylife
B. Simple lifein the past
C. Times ofinventions
D. Time forconstant activity
70.What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A. Critical
B. Objective
C. Optimistic
D. Negative
71.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The presentand past times
B. Machineryand human beings
C. Imaginationsand inventions
D. Moderntechnology and its influence
【答案及解析】
68.A 事实细节题。文章第一段后半部分陈述其原因“Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending.”。
69.B 推理判断题。根据上下文内容可知，the days指的是没有这些发明创造之前的生活。
70.B 观点态度题。由文章大意及最后一段内容可知，作者一方面羡慕祖先男耕女织的生活方式。另一方面，想到祖先辛苦劳作，挨饿受冻的生活状况。可推知，作者的观点是客观的。
71.D 主旨大意题。文章开篇明确告诉我们现代发明加速了人们的生活。下文又提到这些发明给人的生活带来的影响，最后作者客观地分析这些影响。故选项D正确。
E
Every day weexperience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it．It is not the amazingcomplexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. Theuniversal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with ourmouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This abilitycomes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle （奇迹） it is.
Obviously, theability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course,some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles byobserving positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day andyear. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that havedeveloped their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s anability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make aswe breathe out.
Not that we don’thave other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions,such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads canindicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling （直立的） fur is an unmistakablewarning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or droopingtail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means ofcommunication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings,instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort ofinstinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologistscan readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanismsfunction, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated inour biological history.
72. According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is______.
A. our abilityto use language
B. the miracleof technology
C. our abilityto make noises with mouth
D. the amazingpower of nature
73.What feature of“body language”mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?
A. Liftingheads when sad.
B. Keeping longfaces when angry.
C. Bowing headswhen willing to obey.

【答案及解析】
72.A 事实细节题。文章第一段第三句话提到“The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to makenoises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s mind”可分析得出答案。
73.D 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知：A、B项只提到的是人，而不是动物。C项是动物的行为而不是人。第三段的最后一句“Similarly,the bowed head drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in anyanimal gathering. ”是指任何动物共有的行为，所以D选项正确。
74.C 推理判断题。文章第三段明确提出，人和动物都有body language。B项错在人和动物完全等同。D项文章第三段直接给出，无需推断。C项表示“在某种程度上，人类确实与动物没什么不同。”和本段暗示的内容吻合。
75.D 主旨大意题。本文自始至终传达的观点就是，传达给别人信息的能力。

Outside hershabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unawarethat some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her everymove. They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.
They watched asshe took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much totheir disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight.Suddenly, the old lady’s work was interrupted by the cackling of her hen—asignal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.
The oldbroomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed bySooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With onlythree legs, it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady. The catprovided proof—the children were sure that only a witch could own a black catwith three legs.
There, standingon a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg.Taking the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, withoutwarning, the box broke and the old lady fell.
“We have to got and help her, ” whispered Amy.
“What if it is a trick？” replied Ben.
“Don’t be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned usinto frogs already, ” reasoned Meg. “Come on Amy, let’s go.” The girls climbeddown the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.
Approachingcarefully, they could see a wound on the old lady’s face. She had knocked herhead on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. “Go and get Dad,” Amyyelled to her brother. “Tell him about the accident.”
The boys did notneed another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hopingthat Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.
56.Why were the children hiding in the tree？
A. They wantedto watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.

C. he did notsee the old lady fall down
D. he wasafraid of the three-legged cat

【答案及解析】
56.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.”可知，正确答案选C。
57.D 细节理解题。根据第二段后半部分“the old lady’s work was interrupted by the cackling of her hen”可知她在听到母鸡的咯咯声后停止了打扫。
58.A 细节理解题。结合Ben的回答“Whatif it is a trick”可知，他认为老太太在骗他们。
59.B 本文主要讲的是受谣言的影响，孩子们以为老太太是巫师。后来发现她和常人无异。由此可以推断，不能轻信谣言，而忽略事情本身。B项最贴切。
B
The surprisingexperiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that itpresses down upon you. Air pressure is a wonderful force. When you swimunderwater, you can feel water push down your body. The air all around you doesthe same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. Thepressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layersurrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’ssurface.
The followingexperiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you aresupervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment！
What you need
·Ahard-boiled egg without the shell
·Abottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
·Apiece of paper
·Amatch

4. Quickly sit the egg on the neck of thebottle.
Result
Astonishingly,the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when youshow them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.
Why it happened
As the paperburns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen （air） in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle, sono more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle.The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle.The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into thebottle！ The provesthat air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.
60.Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment？
A. The bottlecould break.
B. You need tolight the paper with a match.
C. The eggneeds to be shelled.
D. The egg hasto be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.
61.In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can ______.

C. finish upthe oxygen inside the bottle
D. produce moreoxygen inside the bottle
62.How did the egg put into the bottle？
A. The oxygeninside the bottle sucked the egg in.

C. The neck ofthe bottle was wide enough.
D. The outsideair pressure forced it into the bottle.
63.The experiment is carried out to prove ______.
A. water pusheson your body when you swim underwater.
B. the earth issurrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere.

D. the airpressure is not equalized around us.
【答案及解析】
60.B 细节理解题。根据第二段“But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to usematches.”可知是，实验中要用到火柴，所以要小心，B项正确。
61.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，燃烧过程会耗尽瓶子里的氧气。
62.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知，是瓶子外的大气将鸡蛋压入瓶内。

Your advertisement gives children the impressionthat it’s fine to have “two guns and laser eyes.” You also suggest thatchildren need your toy protect them “when you go outside.” This is not ahealthy attitude for children to have.

Many peoplewrite to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to theeditor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number,although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement toprovide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are heldresponsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard. He needs toclaim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.
“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on amarriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for therelationship, ” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lotof family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract ora bank document, the signature is seal of consent, an agreement to take thematter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not processwritten complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of asignature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious andtherefore does not deserve a reply.
There are peoplewho wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr King donates generously tocharity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but notfor the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deedsto make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they areafraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may bewilling to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names whenreporting a crime.（www.nmet168.com）
Name or no name？ The answer is very personaland lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is amatter if responsibility to it when we make a statement, a claim or anaccusation. We all want to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping ourexpression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.
68. What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the nameof the game”？
A. Writers needto provide their personal information in the game.

E
Newarchaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many countries earlier than once thought.The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historicalresearch could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.
The latest andmost surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptianmummy from about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and atleast one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhapsa million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.
The officialorigin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2ndcentury BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangeroussecret mission（使命）acrossthe western desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent,Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of evenmore distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. Hisjourney opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirectcontacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to theParthians of old Pet la lu exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soonfinding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in Rome.
But the newdiscoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West longbefore the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The researchcould change thinking about the early history of world trade and provideinsights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterraneanlands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.
72. The word “coupled” in the first paragraph could best be replacedby ______.
A. produced
B. contributed
C. doubled
D. combined
73. The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggeststhat ______.
A. Egyptianshad probably travelled to China to buy silk
B. trade alongthe Silk Road began earlier than once thought
C. historicalresearch often achieves fascinating results
D. new lightcan now be thrown on ancient trading practices
74. Until recently most historians believed that trade along theSilk Road ______.
A. originatedin the 2nd century BC
B. extendedhuman migration into eastern Asia
C. began amillion years ago
D. primarilybenefited the Egyptians
75. Historians have always considered Zhang Qian’s mission importantbecause they believe ______.
A. be broughtback knowledge of Rome to the emperor
B. bediscovered the Silk Road
C. be helpedestablish East-West trade
D. be travelledas far as Afghanistan
【答案及解析】
72.D 词义猜测题。上一句提到新的考古发现，接着讲大范围的科学历史探究。根据两句的并列关系可知，couple在这里表示的是“和”的意思。所以D选项正确。
73.B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Other research may extend human activity along this route back evenfurther,”可知，木乃伊头发中的丝线说明丝绸之路的发源可能比人们想象的要早。
74.A 细节理解题。结合第三段的第一句话可判断A项正确。
75.C 推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“His （ZhangQian）journey openedthe way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts betweenthe ancient world’s two superpowers,”可推测历史学家认为张骞出使西域帮助建立了东西方的贸易往来。
