Where is Love? How can we find Love?
Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.
They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug（拥抱）. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman‟s son was also surprised at his mother‟s pleasure and asked why. “I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.”
If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers．“I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test．” he said．“And because I know you are all able to understand these questions．I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test．‟‟
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom．The teacher looked at the rest students and said．“Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance．”Two more students decided to go．Seven students stayed．The teacher then handed out the papers．There were only three sentences on the paper： Congratulations! You have received an A in this class．Keep believing in yourself．
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that，but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give．Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most．
The same is true for students in real life．The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures．They have learned life‟s lessons．whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better people．Scientists say that by the age of eight，80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed．You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限)．However，there is nothing you can‟t do or learn to be．Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰)said，“We do not the mountain,but ourselves.”
54．Some students left the classroom because_____ .
A．they knew the teacher didn‟t like them to take the test

D．they had been working hard for each exam

C．To receive school education． D．To1earn from B students．
D
For hundreds Of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people‟s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don‟t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we
all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people‟s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage ?
A. Weather. B. Actions of others. C. Personality. D. Age. 59. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather. B. We will be happy when we are caught in the rain.
C. All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.D. The more vitamin D you have, the happier you‟ll be.
60. What may be the best title for this passage?
A. Why Do We Feel Sad B. The Weather Influences People‟s Emotions
C. People Need More Vitamin D D. We Can Hardly Change the Weather

Communication among human beings never occurs in a vacuum. Instead, all communication takes place in a social and cultural environment. In most cases, understanding the behaviors of those who share the same or similar culture seems to be easier because they are familiar with each other’s ways of thinking, expressing, acting, and reacting. However, it appears a little difficult for people in one culture to understand the behavior(s) of people in another culture in their cross-cultural communication. Due to the lack of cultural awareness of one another, both Chinese and Americans may face misunderstandings in their interactions (交往).
One of the ways that Chinese show modesty is through self-denial; that is, having been praised by others, most Chinese tend to show disagreement by responding (回应) verbally that they do not

He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy. They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug (拥抱). The woman gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman’s son was also surprised at his mother’s pleasure and asked why. “I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.” If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life. ( ) 1. When the little boy saw the old woman, she was __________. A. looking for a seat in the park B. passing the street C. looking at some birds D. having a pizza ( ) 2. The old woman gave the little boy the biggest smile __________. A. after the little boy went home B. before it grew dark C. when she was drinking Coke D. after the little boy hugged her ( ) 3.

oman were __________ that day. A. sad B. pleased C. surprised D. angry ( ) 4. What made the boy so happy? A. Because of the cake. B. Because of the pizza. C. Because of his mother. D. Because of the smile. B Think of all the things you throw away: juice bottles, soda cans, candy covers. It adds up. How much rubbish do you produce? Americans throw away about 1 ton of rubbish per person every year. That’s 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms) of rubbish! Most of this rubbish gets covered in big holes in the ground called landfills (垃圾掩埋). A lot of this rubbish can be recycled, or turned back into something useful. The main things we recycle today are made from metal, paper or glass. People recycle for many reasons. One of the main reasons is to protect resources. Making new cans out of old ones means less aluminum (铝) is needed for new cans. The leads to a second reason people recycle: It saves energy. Recycling old aluminum cans takes much less energy than making new aluminum. To make new aluminum, you need to mine metal ore (矿石) from the ground, remove it, and refine it into a finished metal. Recycling also protects valuable land. By recycling, we produce less rubbish. That means fewer landfills are needed for dropping our rubbish. Because metals are somewhat costly to make, they are the world’s most recycled materials. About two-thirds of all steel (钢) is recycled. Almost all drink cans are made of aluminum. Americans recycle about one-third of their used aluminum cans. Empty cans are sent to special factories. There, they are cleaned, melted, and made into new pieces of aluminum. Americans use lots of paper—mostly in the form of newspapers, magazines, and cardboard boxes. In fact, paper takes up more space in landfills than any other material. Old paper can be cut and made into new paper. Americans recycle a little more than one-third of their paper rubbish. New paper is made from trees. Each ton of recycled paper saves about 17 trees! Glass can be recycled, too. Americans recycle less than one-quarter of the glass they use. Perhaps that is because recyclers must take more work to recycle glass. First, only bottle glass can be melted and made into new glass. Second, different colors of glass must be melted separately. This means bottles must be separated by color before they can be recycled. ( ) 5. The passage is mainly about . A. reasons of recycling B. advantages of recycling C. difficulties of recycling D. different kinds of recycling ( ) 6. Which of the following is not the reason for people to recycle? A. To protect resources B. To save energy C. To protect land D. To save lives ( ) 7. Which of the following is the most difficult to recycle? A. Metal B. Glass C. Paper D. Land ( ) 8. What should be the writer’s feeling to recycling according to the passage? A. He supports it and calls for it B. He wants to help but can do little C. He f
eels disappointed and gives up D. He thinks it’s useful but difficult 五、阅读与表达。(每题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。 The students’ life today can be very stressful (紧张的). They are under pressure (压力) every day. They need a break from it. Parents should ask children to do something else. (1) not let them relax in front of the TV. A hobby is the perfect answer. There are many different kinds of hobbies. Chess is a good example. It is a very enjoyable game and it also helps children develop their thinking skills. Collecting something is also a good hobby for children. A child can collect almost anything: key rings, stamps, postcards, old coins, etc. Many of these collecting can be both interesting and fun. They teach children a lot and broaden. For example, gardening (园艺) is a useful hobby because it is a physical activity and it also teaches children about nature.

During the winter holiday season, we often see an increase in the amount of rubbish we produce in our homes. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, follow the simple instructions in this article to help cut the amount of rubbish produced in your home.
For gift-giving:
◆ Homemade gifts, such as cards, often produce less rubbish and can be a treasure to receive. This is a great idea for children to try.
When wrapping (包装) gifts:
◆ Use gift bags instead of wrapping paper. Gift bags are reusable and not as likely to go out with the rubbish. If you receive gifts in gift bags, be sure to store them away for future use.
When entertaining:
◆ Avoid the use of plastic forks, spoons and knives as much as possible. Bring out your favorite
dishes for special holidays, and buy a holiday tablecloth to avoid using disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic ones.
After the holidays:
◆ Store your reusable decorations until next year. ◆ Sort out and store reusable gift bags and gift wrap.
3. According to Mr. McCorpuodal, there’s no European influence B. in America

My favorite of the school day was the time when I could take out my glove and my glove at home, but I was lost without my glove. During break, I stood around with sad eyes
and drooping(低垂) shoulders, and in class I was always quiet. She also told me that I could do better in my studies if I concentrated(集中注意力) on them. was true.
One day, Ms. Welles introduced a special guest to the class—Billy Hawkins! I was very ! Billy said, “If you want to be a ball player, it‟s important to study hard in school.” “What does school have to do with baseball?” I asked.
“I‟ll show you by giving you a baseball .” said Billy, “Here‟re three questions. Each student who answers all the three questions correctly will win two tickets to a Leopards game!”
I was sure I could answer the questions. The first question was, “How do you a player‟s batting average (击球率) ?” I wasn‟t sure how to do the math on it. For the second question, Billy handed out an article about baseball. It several words I didn‟t understand. The third question was which team had won the World Champion when George Bush became President. I knew about the World Champion winners, I didn‟t know much about Presidents.
Nobody got all the three answers right. , we would have another chance the following week.
That week, we all helped each other. The students who were good with numbers taught the others how to work out the averages. The readers helped with the difficult words, and the best history students helped with important dates and names. When we took the second baseball test, we answered all the questions correctly, and the whole class won the tickets!

In 50 years of traveling, Colin McCorpuodale has visited every country in the world except three. And everywhere he goes, he sends himself a postcard. He always chooses a postcard with beautiful scenery (风景). Usually he writes just a short message to himself. However, he wrote an interesting story on his latest one, from the Malians Island.
Mr. McCorpuodale lives in London. On one of the walls in his room, you can see a large map of the world. There are hundreds of little red pins (大头针) stuck in it. ―These pins mean a lot to me.‖ says Mr. McCorpuodale, ―I follow the rule. I’m allowed to stick one in only if I’ve been in a place for more than 24 hours.‖
Naturally, Mr. McCorpuodale has his favorite places. New Zealand, he describes as ―a wonderful country‖. About China, he says, ―This is the country in the world which is completely different. There is no European influence.‖
Wherever he goes, Mr. McCorpuodale takes with him a photo of his wife, a candle, a shirt with a secret pocket and a pen.
So why does he do it? For the postcards or the travels? Mr. McCorpuodale laughs, ―Neither. Only for the meaningful life.‖

Why play games? Because they are fun, and we can learn even more while playing. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member — these are all ―game‖ ideas that you will come across all through your life. They can help you in different ways.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are very interesting. But perhaps more importantly, they translate part of life into exciting games that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作).
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which improves the hand-eye coordination (协调) needed in fishing.
The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competitions. People who watch the event (比赛项目) know that a gold medal is a win for the whole country, not just the athlete who got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters (灾害) or wars, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports games are also an event that unites (团结) people. Football is the most popular sport in the world. People all over the world play it — some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian football player, has discovered a way to spread hope through football. He
created a foundation (基金会) to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a bright future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other parts of your life.
50. What are children expected to learn when they play games?
A. To act as a team leader. B. To follow the basic rules.
C. To train how to move fast. D. To practice rope-jumping.
51. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Games can help everybody to make much money.
B. Games can turn real-life experiences into a story.
C. Games can make skill learning more interesting.
D. Games can prevent all the countries from disasters.
52．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Games can help people in different ways.
B. People are advised to play games for fun.
C. An Olympic win means a lot to every country.
D. Sports can get people all over the world together.
C
Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling, which is the process (过程) of treating used things, such as paper or steel so that they can be used again. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more things than we need. We are now dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the possible greenest way, but it would be far better if we did not bring so many things home in the first place.
Here is an example. In the UK, the total of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a household’s waste. In many supermarkets, foods are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging causes serious environmental problems. The UK is running out of different kinds of ways for dealing with this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect (效果). Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The best way of avoiding this problem is to stop producing such unnecessary things in the first place. Food waste is another serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers (消费者) to buy more than they need. They seldom encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to connect packaging with quality (质量). We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. Is it true for all the products? I n fact, more and more companies realized the importance of protecting the environment. They try to package what really should be packaged, including products in good quality.
As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize how many unnecessary things are being collected. We need to face the waste of our daily life. Although many people have taken action to recycle, we have a high mountain to climb.
53. What does the underlined word ―over-consumption‖ mean?
A. Making the environment green.
B. Recycling as much as possible.
C. Making more products than necessary.
D. Having more things than being needed.
54. What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?

Where is Love? How can we find Love?
Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got
his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw
an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her
a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so
he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.
They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark,
the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back
to the old woman and gave her a hug (拥抱). The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his
face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful
smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman’s son was also surprised at his mother’s
pleasure and asked why. “I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger
than I expected.”
If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.

Think of all the things you throw away: juice bottles, soda cans, candy covers. It adds up. How much rubbish do you produce? Americans throw away about 1 ton of rubbish per person every year. That’s 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms) of rubbish! Most of this rubbish gets covered in big holes in the ground called landfills (垃圾掩埋).
A lot of this rubbish can be recycled, or turned back into something useful. The main things we recycle today are made from metal, paper or glass.
People recycle for many reasons. One of the main reasons is to protect resources. Making new cans out of old ones means less aluminum (铝) is needed for new cans.
The leads to a second reason people recycle: It saves energy. Recycling old aluminum cans takes much less energy than making new aluminum. To make new aluminum, you need to mine metal ore (矿石) from the ground, remove it, and refine it into a finished metal.
Recycling also protects valuable land. By recycling, we produce less rubbish. That means fewer landfills are needed for dropping our rubbish.
Because metals are somewhat costly to make, they are the world’s most recycled materials. About two-thirds of all steel (钢) is recycled.
Almost all drink cans are made of aluminum. Americans recycle about one-third of their used aluminum cans. Empty cans are sent to special factories. There, they are cleaned, melted, and made into new pieces of aluminum.
Americans use lots of paper—mostly in the form of newspapers, magazines, and cardboard boxes. In fact, paper takes up more space in landfills than any other material.
Old paper can be cut and made into new paper. Americans recycle a little more than one-third of their paper rubbish. New paper is made from trees. Each ton of recycled paper saves about 17 trees!
Glass can be recycled, too. Americans recycle less than one-quarter of the glass they use. Perhaps that is because recyclers must take more work to recycle glass. First, only bottle glass can be melted and made into new glass. Second, different colors of glass must be melted separately. This means bottles must be separated by color before they can be recycled.

kindergarten year, our class had a field trip to a park in a town about twenty miles away. Making that drive now is no big but when you’re six and you’ve lived in a town of 300 people all your life, going to a big town of a couple of thousand people is really something.
I don’t remember too much about it. But there was one that I will never forget — the race. The parents tied our feet together. One little boy got me for a . He was the second most boy in our class so he usually won at everything and I knew that with me tied to him he didn’t have a chance. And I’m sure he knew he was in trouble.

A few feet from the finish line, disaster struck: I tripped and fell. We were enough that my partner could have easily dragged me across the finish line and won. But he didn’t. Instead he stopped, down and helped me up — just as the other couple crossed the finish line. As a result, we received a small red ribbon for coming in second.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
In some cases, colors describe a situation. A brown out is an expression for a reduction in electric power. Brown outs happen when there is too much demand for electricity. The electric system is unable to offer all the power needed in an area. Black outs are common during World WarⅡ. Officials would order all lights in a city turned off to make it difficult for enemy planes to find a target in the dark of night.
56. Americans use ―red hot‖ to describe the following EXCEPT____.
A. something unfair B. small hot-tasting peppers
C. the person who is very angry D. popular music like Dixieland jazz
57. People use ―in the pink‖ to express they are in good health because____.
A. the expression has a very long history B. the color pink makes people feel happy
C. people think the color pink is gentler than red D. healthy babies are born with nice pink skin
58. When we say someone feels a little green, it means he ____.
A. enjoys himself in boating B. is hit by a high wave
C. has a stomachache D. likes trees and grass
59. In the writer’s eyes，what is related to a black day?
A. Being sent a beautiful gift. B. Passing a very difficult test.
C. Being refused during an important interview. D. Being invited to an exciting party.
60. The writer wants to tell us ______in American everyday expressions.
A. the most popular colors B. different meanings of colors
C. how to use colors correctly D. why Americans like to use colors

As a child，I was interested in becoming a baseball general manager.This desire changed while I was in high school，where I decided law school would be a more practical idea.After high school I went to Syracuse University，where I majored in English literature with the thought that writing skills would be important in my development as a lawyer.I graduated from Syracuse University in 1994 and began law school at Loyola University in 1996.
Three months later，I quit law school and moved to Arizona in 1996 to follow my childhood dream of becoming a baseball general manager.However，after 2 interviews for a $5/hour entry level job with the Arizona Diamondbacks，I remained unemployed.Jobless and without a clue of
what I would do with my life，I joined the US Navy in 1997.At the 6-month mark of my enlistment(服役期间)，I applied to become an officer.About half a year later，my officer application was rejected，after which I complained my way up the chain of command，leading to an honorable discharge after only 13 months of service.
I have always been interested in fitness，so my mom recommended becoming a personal trainer.I became certified as a personal trainer through three organizations，and worked for 3 years in this profession.It was with this interest in biochemistry，health，fitness and aging that I enrolled in Queens College in 2000，with the goal of obtaining a second bachelor’s degree，in Biochemistry.
In the spring of 2003 I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry，and，in the fall，I began graduate school at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.In 2009，I earned a PhD in Physiology and in the process，learned a great deal about the biochemistry underlying the aging process.However，I remained interested in studying athletic performance，so in 2010 I joined a lab at Tufts University that studies the biochemistry underlying body composition，athletic performance and markers of muscle injury.
As you can see，I’ve had a circuitous(迂回的)path in becoming a scientist，but I wouldn’t trade this journey for any other!
作者叙述了自己曲折的奋斗经历，以给我们一些启发。
