閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall is filled with a festive mood, featuring large-scale equipment, knit works and various activities, under the theme "kiss".
"Kissing is seldom taken as the theme of artworks because in oriental (東方的) culture, people restrain themselves from expressing their emotions," says Jiang Shan, who is in charge of the exhibition.
"Through the exhibition, we hope to encourage people to be confident and brave in expressing their love."
Inside the mall, which covers a large area from Zizhong Lu (Road) to Fuxingnan Lu (Road), dozens of colorful decorations, including balloons, lollipops and lip-shaped decorations are hung on the walls and from the ceiling.
Among the decorations, a bright-colored wool artwork attracts most eyeballs and brings about a feeling of warmth.
The designer, Gu Yeli, says the art piece, Kiss Forest, was inspired by US artist Andy Warhol’s 1963 experimental film Kiss, which featured various couples kissing for three and a half minutes each. Gu also organizes a small workshop to teach knitting (編織) to children.
Artist Wang Xuejun sets up a stainless-steel mirror at the mall's gate leading to Zizhong Lu. Visitors, including men, are invited to put on lipstick and kiss the mirror, thus kissing themselves.
The Beast Floral Shop, a flower shop in Shanghai, contributes two walls of flowers that are made into the shape of a book, named Kiss Book. Artifacts (手工藝品) of bees and butterflies are fixed among the blossoms, kissing the flowers. The work represents love and harmony in nature.
Architect Ma Ke creates a Kiss Bridge with transparent (透明的) acrylic boards and ceramic(陶瓷的)fishbowls. Bridges are often spots for dating lovers in traditional Chinese folk stories and the goldfish in the bowls are witnesses of the lovers' kisses.
In the south plaza, an 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment encourages people to kiss. Each kiss turns a certain light on, reminding audiences of their sweet childhood memories of kisses.
At the side of the tree is a counter, in which each kiss is counted and represents a donation to charity organizations.
21. What is the main idea of the article?
A. It tells people how important kisses are to life.
B. It introduces an exhibition under the theme "kiss".
C. It describes what Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall looks like.
D. It introduces various activities in Shanghai Xintiandi Style Mall.
22. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. people encourage themselves to express their emotions.
B. people teach themselves to express their emotions.
C. people discourage themselves from expressing their emotions.
D. people learn a lot from expressing their emotions.
23. What can we learn from the article?
A. Most people are interested in Jiang Shan's art piece, which brings about a feeling of warmth.
B. Most visitors will kiss each other in front of the stainless-steel mirror at the gate.
C. All the decorations in the mall are aimed at encouraging lovers to express their love bravely.
D. The 18-meter-high interactive tree-shaped light equipment will be on for each kiss.
24. The article above probably is taken from a ____________.
A. textbook B. science and technology magazine C. travel leaflet D. news website
B
Expensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes (話匣子) to take the term "handsfree" to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as "Talk to the Hand" and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.
Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget (小玩意) recycling. He uses outdated gloves and com bines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which took up the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.
Mr. Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves — one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles (操縱臺(tái)), MP3 players and digital cameras.
Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, "I hope that my 'Talk to the Hand' project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim."
Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, "There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away."
25. The underlined word "O2" in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.
A. an artist B. a mobile C. a company D. an exhibition
26. Consumers can buy the "Talk to the Hand" gloves ______.
A. in the exhibition B. from Mr. Miles
C. after they recycle the gadgets D. when they are mass-produced
27. The purpose of the project is to _______.
A. promote the technology of IT B. enable people to talk to their hands
C. raise peoples awareness of recycling D. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibition
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. New mobiles which are fashionable.
B. Outdated handsets which are upgraded.
C. Outdated gadgets which can be used for recycling.
D. New gloves which can be used for making phone calls.
C
Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault(斷層), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?
Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings were almost all destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks(裂縫) opened in the ground.
The Mississippi River completely changed character, developing sudden fast-moving currents. Several times it changed its course, and once it appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquake, simply because few people lived in this area in 1811; but the severity of the quake is shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C.
Scientists now know that America’s two major faults are different. The San Andreas fault is a horizontal (水平的) boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the movement of these two masses suddenly leans (傾斜) forward.
The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical(垂直的)fault; at some point, millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions start earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.
Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate large ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when it will occur.
29. The New Madrid fault is _______.
A. responsible for forming the Mississippi River
B. a fault in the flat position
C. a fault caused by rocks moving directly upward
D. a worse fault than the San Andreas fault
30. Which of the following is NOT true about the New Madrid fault?
A. Not many people were killed in the quakes in 1811.
B. Bells were rung in church towers in Charleston to inform the coming quakes.
C. The quakes stopped the clocks in Washington, D.C.
D. The quakes were caused by sudden sinking motion.
31. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.
A. it is probably as dangerous to live in Missouri as in California.
B. the New Madrid fault will eventually develop a mountain range in Missouri
C. in the future California will become an island
D. California will be broken into small pieces by an eventual earthquakex.k.b.1
32. The author suggests that________.
A. earthquakes occur only around fault areas
B. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical ones
C. vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal ones
D. faults are cracks on the earth’s surface caused by past movements of the earth’s land masses
D
In the famous fairy tale, Snow White eats the Queen’s apple and falls victim to a curse; in Shakespeare’s novel, Romeo drinks the poison and dies; some ancient Chinese emperors took pills that contained mercury, believing that it would make them immortal, but they died afterward.
Poison has long been an important ingredient in literature and history, and it seems to always be associated with evil, danger and death. But how much do you really know about poison?
An exhibition, The Power of Poison, opened last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison. The exhibition will continue until August, reported The New York Times.
The museum tour starts in a rainforest setting, where you can see live examples of some of the most poisonous animals: caterpillars, frogs and spiders. Golden poison frogs, for instance, aren’t much bigger than a coin, but their skin is covered in a poison that can cut off the signaling power of your nerves, and a single frog has enough venom to kill 10 grown humans.
The exhibition also features interactive activities. In an iPad-based ga me, visitors are presented with three puzzling illnesses and asked to identify the poisons based on symptoms. In one case, for example, a pet dog is found sick in a backyard and visitors have to figure out whether it was the toad (蟾蜍), the leaky batteries in the trash or the dirty pond water that did it.
''Poisons can be bad for some things,'' Michael Novacek, senior vice president of the museum, told NBC News. ''Yet they can also be good for others.''
This is what visitors learn from the last part of the exhibition, which displays how poisons can be used favorably by humans, including for medical treatment.
The blood toxins of vampire bats, for example, can prevent blood from clotting (凝結(jié)), which may protect against strokes. A poisonous chemical found in the yew tree is effective against cancer, which is what led to the invention of a cancer-fighting drug called Taxol. One chem ical in the venom of Gila monsters can lower the blood sugar o f its victims, so it has been used to treat diabetes.
The benefits from natural poisons are not limited to just medicine. Believe it or not, many substances that we regularly take in – chili, coffee and chocolate, etc. – owe their special flavors or stimulating effects to chemicals that plants make to poison insects.
33. By mentioning Snow White and Romeo at the beginning of the story, the author intends to
________.
A. draw readers’ attention to the topic of the article
B. show that poison is always linked with evil and death
C. show that poison has long been involved in literature
D. get readers to think of more examples of the use of poison in stories
34. What is the main purpose of the exhibition The Power of Poison?
A. To inform people about which animals are the most poisonous.
B. To teach people how to handle poisonous animals.
C. To give people more in-depth knowledge about poison.
D. To show how poison has been used for medical treatment.
35. Which of the following statements about the exhibition is TRUE according to the article?
A. The exhibition will lead visitors to a real rainforest.
B. Those who visit the exhibition can join in some iPad-based interactive games.
C. Golden poison frogs are the most poisonous animals on dis play.
D. Visitors can listen to lectures on recent studies of poisonous animals.

Americans are proud of their variety and ind ividuality, yet they love and respect few things than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general 36 . Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. 37 . The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
38 . They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes.
Primary facts among the arguments against uniforms are their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. 39 .
40 . Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
A. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.
B. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
C. The importance of wearing a uniform is stated as follows.
D. People tend to expect higher quality from a man in uniform.
E. People enjoy wearing comfortable uniforms.
F. Uniforms also have many practical good points.
G. When looking alike, people are likely to think, speak and act similarly on the job at least.

Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the pavement. I went down from Shubentsov’s office doorstep, picked them up and pocketed them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I found – to my 41 – the twenty cigarettes were there.
I’m still at the bar, telephone in one 42 and the cigarettes in the other. I’m dialing Shubentsov, who told me to call him the moment I felt the urge to 43 . I feel it, feel it even 44 than I felt Shubentsov’s healing(恢復(fù)) energy. That’s saying something, since Shubentsov is known around the world for 45 smokers of their nasty habit, using a 46 method. He sent his healing energy from his fingertips, he tells me – something he picked up from another man in Russi a. "I help you for free," he told me in his muddy accent. "Just call me 47 ."
I went to see Shubentsov. I think it’s time to 48 because I’m getting old, and I can’t keep doing this to myself. But here’s the real problem. I should quit, but like a lot of you 49 with the same habit, I really don’t want to.
Smoking has been very good to me. Cigarettes have never let me down, never abandoned me on 50 , desperate nights. Smoking 51 my head, helps me 52 . Smoking has started conversations, driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me celebrate victories, get over losses, and comfort the comfortless. It also chases away the mosquitoes.
I will 53 . Soon. My body and my mind are demanding that daily.
I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realize that slowly I’m losing control of this close, special friend. I 54 that. I realize it’s not just a "habit". I’m 55 .
So here I am, attempting to 56 again, at Shubentsov’s place. I’ve tried all the other quitting techniques 57 . Anytime the urges to smoke 58 , he said, just call him immediately and he’ll help. The funny thing is that I realize I’m not phoning him to stop me from lighting up. I’m phoning him so I can. If I call, I’ll have done my part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besides, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, I’ll get the answering machine. I do. "The office is open from ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does not take messages."
I put the phone down and I can honestly say I’m 59 . You see, it’s not Shubentsov’s fault or anyone else’s fault that I’m still 60 . It’s mine.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to smoke this cigarette. Whether I’ll really enjoy it, though, is another story.
41. A. sadness B. disappointment C. delight D. inspiration
42. A. pack B. bar C. pocket D. hand
43. A. smoke B. talk C. drink D. dial

Some students preferred to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. This will make it possible for them to take their most favorite job in the future.

第二節(jié)：書面表達(dá)
Recently our class has conducted a survey about “The growth of post-90’s generation”. People have different opinions on it.
Some people think that the post-90’s generation are confident, ambitious and independent in thinking. They are fond of new things, ready to accept and try them. What’s more, they have many new ideas, which makes them more creative. It's especially worth mentioning that they are enthusiastic and caring. They treasure friendship and are good at communicating with others.
However, others argue that the post-90’s generation are too self-centered and dependent on their parents in life or teachers in study. They tend to live a comfortable life but are less able to overcome frustration. Besides, some of them lack the sense of responsibility and don't know how to show gratitude to others. Worse still, many are so weak in controlling themselves that they are often addicted to the Internet.
As a member of them, I think we post-90’s generation should be aware of our own strengths and weaknesses, so that we can put emphasis on perfecting ourselves. Only in this way can we gain respect and faith from others.

W: I thought the apples were eight dollars a pound.
M: They used to be, but now the price has gone up by 1.5 dollars a pound.
W: Well, I’ll take 4 pounds.
Text 4
M: Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the nearest post office?
W: Well, take the second turning on the right, and there is a bus stop. Bus No. 16 will take you right
there. Or you can walk there. It’s only 12 minutes' walk.
M: Well, there's only ten minutes to go. A taxi is my only choice.
Text 5
M: Sally, how are you going to get home from the party tomorrow?
W: I really have no idea. It’s quite a problem actually. The last bus for my home leaves at 10 pm and
it’s too early to leave the party.
Text 6
W: I have to remind you of your blood pressure. It’s very high.
M: My blood pressure?
W: Yes. I strongly advise you to change your diet.
M: Hmm. I’m afraid it won't be so easy.
W: I know it won’t, but you really have to. It’s absolutely important.
M: I understand. Do you have any suggestions that might help?
W: Yes, you should eat less salty food. And you might look for a cookbook that has low-fat recipes.
M: Good suggestions! I’ll try to follow them. Thank you very much.

W: I’ve got two tickets for a pop concert this evening. Would you like to go with me?
M: No, thanks. I'm not interested in pop music at all. I’d rather stay at home and watch the live football match tonight.
W: Oh, why not? Have you attended such concerts before?
M: No, I haven’t. I really don’t like them.
W: You don’t know what you are missing.
M: What do you mean by that?
W: They are very exciting, and there is a lot of fun.
M: Really? Who is playing at tonight’s concert?
W: Two world famous musicians. One is from the USA and the other is from China.
M: Sounds interesting.
W: What is your plan now?
M: Well, in that case, I’ll go there with you.
Text 8
M: Where to go?
W: The Pacific Hotel on Granville Street.
M: Have you just arrived in London?
W: No, I have been here since last spring.
M: I guess you are a student.
W: In fact, I’m a student from the University of Edinburgh, and I’m on an educational programme.
M: I see. By the way, when will you go back home?
W: At the end of August. Have you been driving a taxi for a long time?
M: Only a couple of hours!
W: Do you mean you’re just learning how to do it?
M: Just a joke! This is my second job. I do this on weekends to earn some more money. We call it
moonlighting.
W: That’s interesting.
M: Here you are. The Pacific Hotel. The meter says 18.60 pounds.
W: Here you are. Keep the change, please.
Text 9
M: When do you want to leave for that seaside town, Martha?
W: I’m not sure yet, but maybe we sho uld leave after work on Friday.
It’s a long drive, but I’d rather get there late Friday than at midday on Saturday. We have three
days off this time after all.
M: How long is the drive?
W: Five or six hours.
M: Say you leave at 4:30 pm, right after work, and you’ll be there at about nine or ten.
W: I suppose so. And we could still have a good night sleep.
M: What are you going to take?
W: Mostly shorts and T-shirts.
M: Don’t you think it’s a bit cold at the seaside at night?
W: Maybe. I’m going to take a sweater or a light coat, just in case.
M: I hope you have a good time there.

Hello! Welcome to the Science Museum. We all know that science plays an important role in our lives. For example, we use machines every day in our work and life. But we are so used to them that we may not give them a second thought. On this tour you will see some early models of these machines.
To begin the tour, turn left to the Telecommunication Room. Here you will see the development of radios, televisions and telephones. On the right you can see some radio sets from the 1930s. They seem very big compared with today's pocket radios. Televisions, on the other hand, have become bigger. In the 1950s TV sets began to appear in ordinary homes. Telephones, too, have changed greatly. On your left you can see some early phones, including some 19th century ones.
Now let's go to the Picture Room, where you .can learn about the history of photography and films. It was very difficult to take photographs with some of the early cameras you can see here. The people whose pictures were taken had to stand still for many minutes! At the end of the 19th century, people began to make cameras which could take a lot of pictures fast —— film cameras. The film was turned by a wheel and light was shone through it so that the pictures seemed to be moving. The biggest change to films came in the 1920s when sound was introduced. Color was another important change.
Now you can see how different our lives would be without the machines you see today.
