Seated in a convertible (敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark’s hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.
Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the café where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.
Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.
Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to her attention away from the flies, but she couldn’t help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.
Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?”
Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label (商标).
“That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!”
24. What can we learn from the text?
A. Mark had bought a new sports car for Mary.
B. Mark used to be a thin, handsome boy.
C. Mark and Mary had been in love for years.
D. Mary felt strange when she saw the red car.
25. What does the underlined word “divert” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Replace. B. Absorb. C. Take. D. Recover.【Professor,Zhang,who,was,made,______,director,of,the,department,last,week,once,told,me,that,English,had,come,into,______,widespread,use,by,the,latter,half,of,the,14the,century.,,,,,A.,the;,a】
26. Why did Mary burst into laughter?
A. Because Mary played a trick on Mark.
B. Because their ride wasn’t well prepared.
C. Because Mark had prepared a jar of hair cream for her.
D. Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream.
27. What can be the best title for this passage?

In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻整形手术). The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.
Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.
Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.
Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “We’ve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; it’s helped them a lot.”
Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”.
According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.
Personally, I don’t think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We can’t decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.
28. Why do Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation?
A. To have more chances of getting a job.
B. To gain a real westerner appearance.
C. To Take good care of their family.
D. To look like the Eiffel Tower.
29. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The city of Chongqing. B. A plastic surgery procedure.
C. The posters advertising the surgery. D. Xuming’s private practice.
30. What can we learn from Mr. Li’s words?
A. Most families can’t afford the expensive operation.
B. Their customers are usually from wealthy families.
C. Patients can be well looked after at the clinic.
D. The number of plastic surgeons is increasing.
31. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. Chinese employers only care about their employees’ appearance.
B. Chinese students are content with the shape of their noses.
C. A western face looks prettier than a Chinese one.
D. Skills at work speak louder than appearance.
D
Move over Psy. There’s a new viral music video on the Internet that’s getting millions of people dancing and laughing. Psy is a singer who created Gagnam Style, a music video which featured a catchy tune and interesting dance.
The new music video called The Fox (What does the fox say?) has recently gone viral. At 123 000 000 views, it may even catch up to Gagnam Style. The video asks the question, “What does the fox say?” It’s a good question. And it seems, at least according to the music video, there is no good answer.
Actors in the video dress up like the animals they’re singing about. One of the brothers dresses up like a fox. There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit . The video’s appeal is the song’s simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌).
The makers of the video never expected the video to do well or even to be taken seriously. In fact, it started out as a joke. The song was written by two brothers from Norway, Vegard and Bard Ylvis ker. The brothers have their own late-night talk show in Norway. They thought the video would be so bad that it would give them something to talk about on their show.
On their website, they say the video was “supposed to entertain a few Norwegians for three minutes — and that’s all.” But people started loving it. Some people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.
The brothers have been guests on some major North American talk shows. They say they’re happy about the success of their video, but they know that tomorrow something else could come along and be even bigger.
32. What can be learnt about the music video invented by Psy?
A. It featured the traditional style of Korean music.
B. It was difficult for people to follow.
C. It was named after a new virus.
D. It could make people relax a lot.
33. Which of the following best describes the new music video The Fox?
A. It can catch the viewers’ heart easily by its amusing tune and dance.
B. It features the same story with the music video Gagnam Style.
C. It answers the question “What does the fox say?” exactly.
D. It has the real animals in the video.
34. It can be inferred from the passage that nowadays most people ______.
A. like to enjoy music with simple and easy style.
B. have difficulty in understanding the viral movie music.
C. are working hard for the advancement of classic music.
D. are tired of many music videos which are popularized through Internet too quickly.
35. The underlined word “off-guard” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. Annoyed. B. Offended. C. Unexpected. D. Relaxed.

I was stopped at a red light only a mile or so from my goal of my brother’s house. We were planning to drive down together to North Carolina to be with my father who was badly ill.
As I waited at the stop light experiencing this forced slowdown, I noticed Sharper’s Florist over to the left. It was the same place where I had experienced many things— floods of memories went through my mind as the light seemed a blessing. I noticed the wine store straight ahead where my father and I had been many times before, picking out the beer of the week. We both liked German beer.
The light finally became green and I made my left turn and drove through the poor section of our hometown. I remembered how each thanksgiving my family would be together. I also remembered how my father would take some time out of each thanksgiving to make sure there was no one hungry in the neighborhoods surrounding where we lived. I can remember as a young boy going with him to deliver some food. I was scared. I had never been into this part of town this deeply before.
My father seemed unfazed (不受困扰的) by this and went about his business. The people we went to seemed to know him and gratefully accepted what he came to offer. My father seemed able to give away the food in a way that honored those he was giving to. This was not an act. He would stop at each place and talk a little, which I can remember totally pissing me off (使…厌烦). I wanted to get the hell out of there. My father wanted to be sure everyone had food. If there were people he found who didn’t have food, he would take the time to go back and get more. That’s the kind of man he was.
21. When the father was ill, he _______.
A. lived in North Carolina
B. gave away food to the poor
C. came to help the poor in his hometown
D. stayed at the home of the author’s brother
22. The author mentions the wine store to tell us _______.
A. the same taste as his father
C. the experience with his father B. the life in his childhood D. the birthplace of his father
23. The author was afraid of giving away food to the poor probably because _______.
A. his father didn’t stay with him then
B. his father didn’t take good care of him
C. he was unfamiliar with the surroundings
D. he had never met with so many poor people
24. The underlined word “arrogant” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. angry B. proud C. careless

Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.
Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探险) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.
When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.
Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was

A
I was stopped at a red light only a mile or so from my goal of my brother’s house. We were planning to drive down together to North Carolina to be with my father who was badly
ill.
As I waited at the stop light experiencing this forced slowdown, I noticed Sharper’s Florist over to the left. It was the same place where I had experienced many things— floods of memories went through my mind as the light seemed a blessing. I noticed the wine store straight ahead where my father and I had been many times before, picking out the beer of the week. We both liked German beer.
The light finally became green and I made my left turn and drove through the poor section of our hometown. I remembered how each thanksgiving my family would be together. I also remembered how my father would take some time out of each thanksgiving to make sure there was no one hungry in the neighborhoods surrounding where we lived. I can remember as a young boy going with him to deliver some food. I was scared. I had never been into this part of town this deeply before.
My father seemed unfazed (不受困扰的) by this and went about his business. The people we went to seemed to know him and gratefully accepted what he came to offer. My father seemed able to give away the food in a way that honored those he was giving to. This was not an act. He would stop at each place and talk a little, which I can remember totally pissing me off (使…厌烦). I wanted to get the hell out of there. My father wanted to be sure everyone had food. If there were people he found who didn’t have food, he would take the time to go back and get more. That’s the kind of man he was.
21. When the father was ill, he _______.
A. lived in North Carolina
B. gave away food to the poor
C. came to help the poor in his hometown
D. stayed at the home of the author’s brother
22. The author mentions the wine store to tell us _______.
A. the same taste as his father
C. the experience with his father B. the life in his childhood D. the birthplace of his father
23. The author was afraid of giving away food to the poor probably because _______.
A. his father didn’t stay with him then
B. his father didn’t take good care of him
C. he was unfamiliar with the surroundings
D. he had never met with so many poor people【Professor,Zhang,who,was,made,______,director,of,the,department,last,week,once,told,me,that,English,had,come,into,______,widespread,use,by,the,latter,half,of,the,14the,century.,,,,,A.,the;,a】

A. angry B. proud C. careless
D. wild

Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.
Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探险) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.
When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.
Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.
Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.
The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.
Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
On a cool November day many years ago, I noticed a big black dog at our farm. I was very angry at his frequent turning up.
I went to my father and told him how the dog had destroyed part of our crop. ―It’s all your
2doing,‖ I said. ―Why did you offer milk to him a few days ago? He wants us to adopt him now. ‖―Why not?‖ asked my father. ―We already have Mike. He won’t allow another dog to enter this place.‖ A few days later, however, poor Mike was hit by a bus and died. ―Had I listened to you,‖ my father said, ―we would have been without a dog now!‖
Kalu didn’t take long to prove himself useful. Whenever he spotted a rat, he left everything aside – even his food – and dashed after it. At night when we slept, Kalu barked at the slightest noise like an alert (警惕的) guard.
We had often heard about thieves in the area. One night at about 1:00 am, we were woken up by Kalu’s angry bark. ―Could it be thieves?‖ my father whispered. My father shouted through a window: ―Who’s there?‖ No reply. Kalu’s growls grew angrier. Suddenly we heard a man cry out: ―Save me from this beast!‖
Armed with a stick, we went outside and saw that Kalu had pinned the man down on the ground. The man begged: ―Save me, sir!‖ Most of his clothing had been torn and his legs and hands were bloody. We managed to drag Kalu away. ―Don’t come here again,‖ my father ordered. The man disappeared into the darkness. As Kalu continued barking after the man, I saw my mother looking
fondly at him through the window. Kalu got more popular in the family.
Kalu lived with us faithfully for over seven years. When he went missing for three days and was found dead because of eating something poisonous, we were shocked.
Our farm seemed desolate without Kalu. Over the years, we took in several more dogs, but none could match Kalu’s understanding and high spirits. The mean-looking stray (流浪狗) I didn’t want taught me to never judge anyone by his looks, whether a man or his best friend.
21. Many years ago, the author ______.
A. blamed his father for adopting Kalu
B. was annoyed by Kalu’s constant appearance
C. thought Mike would welcome Kalu willingly
D. discussed with his father how to drive away Kalu
22. We can infer from the text that ______.
A. Kalu showed off his ability of catching mice to prove himself
B. Kalu’s barking at night often disturbed the neighborhood
C. Kalu couldn’t stop the thief without the author’s father’s help
D. Kalu came to win the author’s family’s heart with his loyalty
23. The underlined word ―desolate‖ in the last paragraph probably means ―______‖.
A. empty B. bare C. unusual D. peaceful
24. According to the last paragraph, what did the author learn from his experience?
A. First impressions are never to be relied on.
B. ―Don’t judge a book by its cover‖ applies to both humans and dogs.
C. Ordinary as a person or a dog may look, we should treat them as extraordinary.
D. Your feelings toward somebody or something can change after you are helped out.
B
You may laugh it off if someone told you that extreme weather disasters were actually a child’s tricks. But El Nino, meaning ―little boy‖ in Spanish, could be about to cause trouble.
A recent statement from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned of 3a strong El Nino event that may be similar to the strongest in modern times. Scientists believe that evidence shows a more than 90 percent chance that it is coming – and it’s going to be big. ―If this lives up to its potential, this thing can bring a lot of floods, mudslides (泥石流), and trouble,” said Bill Patzert, a NASA scientist.
El Nino is a climate event occurring in the Pacific Ocean. The wind usually blows strongly from east to west due to the rotation (旋转) of the Earth. This causes water to pile up in the Western Pacific and pulls up colder water from the bottom in the eastern part. However, in El Nino years, the winds pushing the water get weaker and cause the warmer water to shift back toward the east. This warms the ocean as it travels before finally reaching the shores of North and South America. In an El Nino event, the waters of the eastern Pacific can be up to 4 degrees Celsius warmer than usual.
Most El Ninos last from 9 to 12 months and their effects are felt around December. They don’t happen every year though, usually between every two to seven years.
Last seen in 1997-98, El Nino caused severe droughts in Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as deadly floods in Peru and Ecuador. The world also heats up during an ElNino – 1998 became the warmest year on record at the time. If the current trend continues, 2015 is almost certainly to become the hottest year yet again.
A strong El Nino also affects hurricane seasons around the planet. The warmer the Eastern
Pacific is, the more hurricanes it gets. The Western Pacific, on the other hand, tends to see more and stronger typhoons.
The weather isn’t the only thing that’s affected. Warmer surface waters in the Eastern Pacific make the cold-water fish swim away and damage the fishing industry in much of Latin America.25. What is the text mainly about?
A. El Nino and its harmful effects.
B. Extreme weather disasters ever.
C. The hottest years ever in history.
D. The strongest El Nino in history.
26. Which of the following statements is TRUE about El Nino?
A. It results from hurricanes or typhoons in the oceans.
B. It happens every two years and last about half a year.
C. It is a weather phenomenon occurring in the Atlantic.
D. It can cause extreme weather, such as floods and droughts.
27. During an El Nino year, ______.
A. the wind blows so strongly that it causes the water to pile up
B. the fishing industry in much of Latin America is likely to suffer
C. the more typhoons it experiences, the warmer the Western Pacific is
D. the surface water in the Eastern Pacific usually gets colder than ever
28. El Nino in fact results from ________.
A. a little Spanish child’s trick B. the natural rotating of the Earth
C. an American expert’s prediction D. the weaker winds in the Pacific
C
For most people today, their GPS (Global Positioning System) has become a life line, giving directions to the nearest bathroom or restaurant. But the price we pay for the convenience could be our sense of direction.
“I do think GPS devices cause our navigational(导航) skills to atrophy，” said Nora Newcombe, a US psychologist who studies how the human brain navigates. “The problem is that you don’t see an overview of the area and where you are in relation to other things.‖
To understand the risk, you first need to understand how our brain keeps us from getting lost. Through experiments, researchers have found that our navigational strategies usually fall into two groups.
The first involves a spatial (空间的) map inside your brain. As you explore an area, you think about how the streets fit together and the best way to get between different locations. Eventually, the map lets you navigate between any two points in the area.
The second involves a series of landmarks and steps: Turn right at the gas station, and your school is on the left. It’s quick and reliable, but less flexible–it doesn’t help you get from your school to a totally new place, even if it’s nearby.
According to the research, people who are bad at navigation have trouble with the first strategy–creating spatial maps. What’s more, further studies have shown that people’s ability to create spatial maps is decided by how often we use the skill. That helps explain what happens when people trust themselves with GPS devices. According to a research, people depending on GPS show more activity in the part of the brain that is good at following directions – but less activity in the part which creates the spatial maps.
It turns out that our sense of direction isn’t the only thing we could lose. One thing that could go is our connection to the environment we travel through. Researchers have found that when people rely on GPS while driving, their memory of their trip is of a route on a screen, rather than the landscape they traveled through.
29. The underlined word ―atrophy‖ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. become stronger B. become weaker
C. become more useful D. become less important
30. People having a poor sense of direction _______.
A. rely more on the first strategy than the second for direction
B. usually find the second strategy more reliable and flexible
C. tend to have problems creating spatial maps in their mind
D. are likey to become wiser by using the GPS navigation
31. How could the frequent use of GPS affect people according to the article?
A. It might ruin their ability to navigate.
B. It is to produce more activity in their brain.
C. It enables them to enjoy better scenery along.
D. It makes them become less independent.
32. What can be inferred about the writer’s attitude towards using GPS?
A. He encourages us not to use it.
B. He thinks highly of this technology.
C. He doesn’t care how often it’s used.
D. He discourages us from overusing it.
D
Dear Daughter,
We have not seen you for a while now, so I thought we might check in. Did you fall off the edge of the Earth? Your mother worries, you know, and I am just curious. Well, I am more than 5curious. I feel abandoned.
Apparently you’ve abandon us for your career. I can understand that, because you’ve always had a wonderful work ethic. Look, obviously your long absence has confused us. As we go about our daily routines, your mother and I are distracted – both by your absence and our pride in your career. The other day, I entered my work password into the microwave, then stood there cursing it for not working.
Listen, a lot has happened since you’ve been away. Abraham Lincoln was shot. We had two more children – a princess, now 23; a boy, now 12. Yesterday I bought a very clean 2001 Camaro car from an older woman. Your mother is not happy about this. She says it is the kind of muscle car driven by ex-criminals when they examine your house at 2 am. In response, I tell her it was the car of my dreams when I was 18.
So that’s where your long absence has left us. Your long absence is not so bad, though we miss your roaring laughter ... the way your cheeks flush when you eat Thai food. How you always march too hard into the house, like a Scotsman stepping on snakes.
Each evening, your mother now waits by the window the way she did when you used to step off the bus in first grade. Bet that drove you crazy even then, her running out on the porch like you’d just returned from a month-long journey to the moon.
Look, parents are not easy people. But should the urge ever hit you, feel free to stop by

Seated in a convertible (敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark’s hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.

In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻整形手术). The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.
Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.
