4. In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能).
They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, US boys and girls
hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow
up.

believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟). Schoolwork is
important, but they think that social skills are important as well.
But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass

6. Have you heard of “Kong Nao”? A new word appears on the Internet recently. In fact, it refers
to some passengers who behave badly by plane and could endanger flight safety. On
December 11, on the airline flight from Bangkok Thailand to Nanjing, two tourists conflicted with
an air attendant. The male tourist poured garbage in the aisle(过道) and said something bad to
the flight attendant. The female tourist threw a whole cup of hot water over the flight attendant.
At last the plane was forced to turn back. On January 10, 2015, a passenger on Flight MU2036
opened an emergency exit without permission because of dissatisfaction with the flight delay. At
last the plane was forced to turn back.
These things not only affect the normal order of flight but also have a bad international influence.
The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can take a plane. But many of them
don’t behave well in public. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese
as the world’s second worst tourists after Americans.
If you want to change those bad behaviors and become a civilized passenger, remember to
avoid the followings：
●Don’t spit in public or throw away trashes here and there.
●Never cut in line or snatch bus seats.
●Don’t laugh or speak loudly.
●Don’t take off shoes or smoke in public.
●Say something polite and do something civilized.
Whenever and wherever you are, you need to respect others. In this way, you'll win
compliments（称赞） for yourself.

7. There are many colours in nature. But do you know that a colour has weight? I think you’ll
say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment(实
验).
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Wrap(包裹)
one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes
with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why does it happen? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s
mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own
weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The
scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then
why did the scientists say so? That is because every colour represents a kind of light wave(光
波)------ a certain wavelength(波长). It reaches our brain(大脑) through organs(感觉器官)
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colour they like, and refuse the
colour they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll
be nervous or even get ill. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture(家具)
for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel
you have been there for only one hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room
and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change
when we see different colours.
【1】Which is the lightest colour in a man’s mind?
A．Red
B．Blue
C．Green
D．White
【答案】D
【解析】D细节理解题。根据第三段中The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange,
yellow and white.可知在人的头脑中最重的颜色是红色，然后是蓝色、绿色、橙色、黄色和白色。
所以该选D。
【2】Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Different colours have different weights in a man’s mind.
B．The colour “blue” is the second heaviest colour in a man’s mind.
C．People can’t smell the colours.
D．The colour you don’t like will keep you healthy.
【答案】D
【解析】D细节理解题。根据第三段中That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our
mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. . The scientists
told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not.可知每一种颜色都
有自己的重量。最重的颜色是红色，然后是蓝色、绿色、橙色、黄色和白色。科学家告诉我们，
颜色也有气味。但不能闻到。所以该选D。
【3】What will happen when you get into a cool coloured room from a warm coloured room?
A．You will feel excited.
B．You will be happy and contened.
C．Your temperature will fall.
D．You will be nervous.
【答案】C
【解析】C细节理解题。根据第四段中if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room,
his temperature will fall.可知如果一个人走出了一个红色的房间，进入一个蓝色的房间，他的体温
会下降。所以该选C。
【4】According to the passage, how long will you feel if you stay in a red room for an hour?
A．Two hours.
B．Fours hours
C．Six hours
D．Eight hours.
【答案】A
【解析】A细节理解题。根据第四段中If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and
furniture(家具) for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours.可知如果你呆在一个
红色窗户、墙纸和家具的房间两个小时，你会觉得你已经有四个小时。所以该选A。

9. Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. Maybe sometimes we all wonder if we
need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world have much in
common. They all give us courage and make us want to learn from them.
A hero has a special story to tell and people are interested in it. But a hero is not just the person
with great fame（声誉）.
A hero has to experience life with new and further meaning. So if you want to live like a hero,
you have to know what or whom you serve. If you serve only your own fame, you may be just
famous persons instead of heroes.
A hero considers more than common people. He is able to make people moved and create new
chances.
Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans
might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop
in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.
There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be quite slow
Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.

注意：每空格1个单词。
Country music is a kind of modern-day pop music, originated (起源) in the southern United
States and Appalachia mountains. The singers usually play the guitar, and in the 1920s they
started using electric guitars. Nowadays people use the violin, banjo, and slide-guitar as well.
The music at the very beginning was generally very smooth, beautiful and the phrasing
structure (句法结构) also was simple. In the 1950s, American country music was about other
things, for example, love and money. In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of
them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. During the 1990s, American country music
became more and more popular. Song writers were no longer writing about the modern values
of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead they were writing once more
about things that were usual for everyone.
Today country music has become a big business. It brings in a lot of money. Now, it has
reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. It remains
much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people
praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing,
walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.

Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat． Here is some advice on
healthy eating.
Eat with others． It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits． If you usually eat with
your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body． Ask yourself if you are really hungry． Have a glass of water to see if you
are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food． Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast． Breakfast is the most important meal of the day． After you don’t eat for the
past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going． You will be smarter after eating
breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese． We all need snacks sometimes． In fact, it’s a
good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals． This doesn’t mean that you
can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late． With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last

16. “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way for Americans to greet each other. But
“ How are you？”is also a very unusual question. It often doesn’t need an answer. The person
who asks” How are you?” hopes to hear the answer“Fine”even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. In
fact, they are not really a question or an answer. They are simply other ways of saying
“Hello”or“Hi”.
Sometimes people also don’t say exactly what they mean, For example, when someone asks
“ Do you agree？”the other person might think，“No，I disagree. I think you’re wrong.” But it
isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say,“ I’m afraid …”It’s a nicer
way to disagree.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.
For example, many phone talks finish when one person says” I have to go now.” Often, the
person who wants to finish the phone call gives an excuse,” Someone’s at the door.” The
excuse might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to finish the phone call simply
doesn’t want to talk anymore, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it
doesn’t hurt the other person.
When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, thinking of finishing a talk, people
don’t say exactly what they are thinking about. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to
each other, and it is part of the game of language.
【1】“How are you？”is another way of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
【答案】A
【解析】A由第一段的最后一句话：They are simply other ways of saying “Hello”or“Hi”.可知，
How are you 只是见面打招呼的寒暄话，与原文相符，故答案为A。
【2】It is polite to say” No，I disagree. I think you are wrong” if you don’t agree with others.
【答案】B
【解析】B由第二段中But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might
say,“ I’m afraid …”It’s a nicer way to disagree.可知，直接拒绝别人是不礼貌的行为，与原文不符，
故答案为B。
【3】When someone says” I have to go now” on the phone, it means he wants to go on talking.
【答案】B
【解析】B由第三段第二行For example, many phone talks finish when one person says” I have
to go now.可知，当有人说我现在必须走了，打电话应该终止，而不是想继续打电话，与原文不
符，故答案为B。
【4】“Someone is at the door ”may be an excuse for finishing a phone call.
【答案】A
【解析】A由第三段the person who wants to finish the phone call gives an excuse,” Someone’s
at the door.”可知，有人在敲门，无论真假，只是不想打电话的一种托辞，与原文相符，故答案为
A。
【5】Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to
be nice to each other.
【答案】A
【解析】A由原文最后一段people don’t say exactly what they are thinking about. It’s an
important way that people try to be nice to each other可知，人们不说出自己的真实想法，学会
更有礼貌的拒绝，是为了不伤害对方，增进友谊，与原文相符，故答案为A。

17. When Mr. Brown entered the classroom that Friday morning, he stopped at the
blackboard. For there, on the blackboard, were words in huge red letters: BROWN IS STUPID!
Mr. Brown thought for a moment. This could only have been the work of one of the four boys
who had been kept in after school the day before.
Mr. Brown turned the blackboard around so that the words could not be seen. Half an hour
later,Mr. Brown wrote four names on the board: Gerald, Alex, Michael and Laurie. Then he said,
“I want these four to stay in the classroom. The rest of you may go to the playground.”
The four boys came to the blackboard. “One of you has written a most impolite remark on the
blackboard,” he stared （盯着看）at them and thundered, “which one of you did it?”
The four boys gathered closer together, afraid of what was to come.
“Was it you, Gerald?”
Gerald shook his head. “No, it was not me, Sir,” he gave the teacher a most sincere look in his
wide eyes.
“What do you have to say, Alex?”
“I don’t know anything about it, Sir,” said Alex, and his ears turned red.
Michael had a bright idea. “Perhaps someone broke in during the night,” he said. “And when he
saw the lovely red chalk lying there, he wrote something on the blackboard.”
“Is that the best you can think so, Michael?” asked the teacher.
“I only thought ...”
“And what about you, Laurie?”
Laurie said in a rather low voice, “I didn’t do it, Sir. I don’t even know what it says on the
blackboard.”
“You really don’t know what’s written there?” Mr. Brown asked. “And I don’t think dear Gerald
knows either.”
“No, Sir. No idea.”
“Michael, Alex, can either of you tell me what it says on the blackboard?”
“No, Sir!” the two boys answered together. Brown walked forward and his fingers seized(揪住) a
schoolboy. He said in his kindest and softest voice to the other three boys, “Very well. I only
punish the one who has been telling lies, and you three may go to the playground!”

20. A new report says African governments are ill prepared to handle the growing number of
people over age 65. The population in Africa as in other parts of the world, is getting older.
Currently, there are 36 million people on the continent 65 years and above. which is 3.6 percent
of the population. up from 3.3 percent 10 years ago. That could rise to 4.5 percent by 2030 and
10 percent by 2050. The African development Bank is raising concerns over the shortage of
health insurance and pensions (养老金).
The African Development Bank says. "Aging is highly linked with long-term physical and
mental disability and a number of long-term chronic (慢性的) conditions."
"Africa is not well prepared to care for its aging population right now. And it needs to prepare for
this fact." said Professor Mthuli Ncube. the African Development Bank's chief economist. African
nations spend far less on healthcare than developed nations do___ about $26per person per
year. Not so many countries have well developed medical aid plans for the elderly, whether they
are privately provided plans or indeed government plans. If you look at the pension plans, you
will find the pension industries are not well developed in some of the countries.
Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to take action on health insurance
and pensions because they were busy with economic reforms.
Another challenge for Africa is the worsening of informal systems of social protection. That is
cash and support from both the extended family and community sources.
. The African Development Bank recommends governments help carry out health insurance and
pension plans. Ncube said African governments didn't have to handle the health insurance
burden alone. "It is not only a must but also an opportunity for private companies to add their bit
in this regard", he said. The report also recommends that African governments consider
providing ways of free health services. medications and long-term health care facilities for the
elderly.
【1】 From the first paragraph we know the facts except that ____

【解析】A 细节题。根据文章第四段Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to
take action on health insurance and pensions because they were busy with economic reforms.
可知经济改革阻止医疗保险和养老金的发展。故A正确。
【4】How can the aging problem be solved in Africa according to Ncube?

21. When you watch 3D movies or TV，you have to wear a special pair of glasses．The
3D glasses make the images from the screen look like they are there in the room with you．
Three-dimensional，or 3D，means having three dimensions（维度） : width，height and
depth．3D technology（技术） is based on the way the human brain（大脑） and eyes
work．Because the pupils of a person's eyes are about 6．5era apart（分开），when we
look at something，each eye sees it from a different angle（角度）．Our eyes send the two
images to our brain，and the brain puts them together．The small difference between the
image from the right eye and the image from the left eye allows us to see depth．
When we view pictures and television in two dimensions，each eye gets the same
information．That is because the image has no real depth，and there is only one of viewing
it．So the goal of 3D technology is to get a different image into each of the viewer．It uses two
film projectors．One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right image．The 3D
glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye．
While watching 3D films，we feel that we are in the same environment as the things we're
watching．However，it also has its disadvantages．The 3D glasses work by controlling the
amount of light that reaches the eyes．It makes the screen look darker．What's more，people
with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies，
because their brains need to work harder to "read" the images．
【1】According to the passage，we can see 3D TV with the help of ____．
A．the exciting games
B．the special glasses
C．the dark screen
D．the image in the room

A．how we see things in 3D

children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr.
Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing—it’s the common language. We want people to
feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over
1,300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-
year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the
body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find
out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn’t interested in
laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher
told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However,
our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still
produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some
people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and
comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with
the results.

25. Pollution
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern
machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution （污染）. Water pollution
has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise
pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious
kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it
is thrown away, they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on
the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer
people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

27. Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and
the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the
Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with
girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time
of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.

example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion and
its old traditions.
Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. That’s
why he is so loved in the US – he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.
He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on
the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.

30. Two men， Alan and Henry， both seriously ill， shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed
to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his
time sleeping on his back.
The men talked for hours， of their wives/families， their homes and their jobs. And (every
afternoon when Alan， in the bed next to the window， could sit up， he would pass the time
by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the
water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees
and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this， Henry， on the other side
of the room， would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not hear
the band，he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly， an alien thought entered his head： Why
should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It
doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing
more sight， his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep.
He should be by that window—and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night， as He lay staring at the ceiling， Alan began to cough. He was choking (窒息）
Henry watched in the dark room as the struggling man tried hard to reach the button to call for
help. Listening from across the room， he never moved， never pushed his own button which
would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes， the coughing and choking
stopped， along with the sound of breathing. Now， there was only silence—deathly silence.
As soon as it seemed appropriate， Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The
nurse was happy to make the change and after making sure he was comfortable， she left him
alone.
Slowly， painfully， he struggled to take his first look. Finally， he would have the joy of seeing
it all himself. He looked out， but faced a black wall.

33. Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be
lower than the other， and paining（疼痛）too. In India， most of us would look at the
reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America， there are always
more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a
laptop computer（笔记本电脑）， weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen
and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need， says a report in 'The Asian Age'
newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these
books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载）

34. Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is
one of the most important decisions to make in life.
For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:
The first one － that I must work in an area I like － is most important to me. Someone once
said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to
work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member
there. All this is possible only if like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard
problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the
work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference
and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard
work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for
my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The
work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help
to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to
help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look
back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons
through my work.
I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should
decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He
should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that
field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.
【1】According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people_____.
A．solve fewer problems

【解析】B细节理解题。根据I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. All

A．trained
B．praised
C．accepted
D．paid
【答案】D
【解析】D词义猜测题。根据I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money.可推知，只
有挣得钱多了，才能过上舒适的日子，故划线单词的意思是付钱，故选D。

A．become a knowledgeable person
B．join the army to become a better person

38. North American back bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run
away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about
these animals.
In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, USA, catch bears and use drugs to
help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take
blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these
studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live,
and how many babies they produce.
But in Minnesota, USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know
the researchers’ voices and they are not afraid of die research team. With the help of a few
grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their
teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos
to learn about their everyday lives.
In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of
black bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers, are able to
collect are quite different.

“Make-A-Wish” is one of the world’s most well-known charities. It makes wishes come true for
children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about
their health problems and have fun.
It all started in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick.
He always dreamed of becoming a police officer. Tommy Austin and Ron Cox, two police
officers, made his wish come true. They gave Christopher a tour of the city in a police helicopter
(直升机) and made a real police uniform for him.
There are four kinds of wishes children usually have:
I wish to go. Children usually want to travel or go to a concert, a game or a park.
I wish to meet. Children sometimes want to meet their favourite actors, singers or players.
I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.
I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.
Let’s hope more wishes will come true in the future. People who work in the charity always try
for the best. Almost 25,000 volunteers help, work or give money. Will you be one of them?
【1】 The purpose of the last paragraph is to ___________.
A．explain what “Make-A-Wish” is
B．encourage more people to join the charity

41. While many women are busy with planning their bridal showers (新娘送礼会), a baby
shower usually comes as a complete surprise. A baby shower is a party where a pregnant (怀孕
的) woman is “showered” with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close
female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will
also hold a baby shower for her.
The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant.
Predicting the date of a baby’s birth isn’t always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also
happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someone’s home or outside, like in
a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However,
more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.
Like a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register (登记) a wish list of things she wants at one or
several stores. This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes,
diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy
something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there aren’t repeat items, like 30
bottles when a new mom only needed 15.
At a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom. Most of these
cards also include money or gift cards to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she needs for
the baby. Sometimes there are games as well. In one game everyone guesses the date of the
baby. Another game lets people taste baby food and guess the flavor.
【1】The underlined word “Predicting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A．祝贺
B．预测
C．错过
D．记得
【答案】B
【解析】B考查词意猜测题。【问题】：第二段划线单词“Predicting”可能是_____？句子

43. Now, in the streets of China, we can see increasing numbers of foreigners, speaking various
foreign languages or strangely-toned Chinese. They have become part of our life. Have you
ever wondered what brings foreigners to China and what they do in China?
Xia Yuan,a beautiful girl from Ukraine, works in Beijing. She is in charge of the marketing
department. She had studied Chinese for two years before she came to China, and she now
speaks fluent Mandarin(普通话).Unless you can see her in person, you might not even realize
that she is a foreigner.
Ding Luo, an Italian, is the manager of Alcatel in China. Some years ago he lived in Chengdu,
Sichuan. He often went to the poor areas of Sichuan to help the kids, donating computers,
clothes and bags to them. Whenever he had a problem, he would say ”I don’t understand
Chinese” and take out a card carrying his name and workplace, both written in Chinese.
Also, many foreigners love Chinese culture. They travel around or make short visits in China,
taking lots of photos. They seldom speak Chinese. When they finish their travels, they ‘ll move
on to another country. But foreigners remain a tiny minority in China. Few Chinese people know
them well.

44. Molly Boylan is one of the most successful business women in Canada after setting up her
cosmetic(化妆品)company Blazes in 1992. Though she is very successful, she says that she
finds it harder every year to balance her business with her family life. She sometimes feels that
her two children know more about their baby-sitter than they do about her.
Molly employs(雇佣)around eighty people in her factory and warehouse, and ten others in her
two new fashion stores, but her newest employee is the most important one for her. After years
of worrying about her business more than her family, she has decided to make Sally Pamonte
new general manger in her company. Molly will still be involved in decision-making, and she’s
going to stay in touch with the people who work for her, but Sally is going to look after day- to-
day running of the business so that Molly can spend more time with kids.
The new arrangement is going to start on Monday, and both of them are already excited about it.
Sally says, “I’m very nervous, actually, but I’m sure Molly will help me a lot in the early days,
even though I hope she feels she can trust me not to make too many mistakes.”
Molly, on the other hand, seems quite relaxed about the whole thing. “I know that Sally’s going
to be a very nice manger.” she says, “She’s only been here a couple of days and she’s already
shown me how to work out a few problems we were having. The best thing though is that I feel
a hundred times happier than I’ve been in years. I mean, I honestly can’t remember the last time

honest, I wish I had made this decision years ago.”

famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it
has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now,
around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to
make it into a 3D animated film.
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert
and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the
crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl,

shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time.
The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the
desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions--in Chinese and
English. The film shows The Little Girl’s life and tells The Little Prince’s story at the same
time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like
a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

46. Several days ago,，1 went to my aunt’s home and saw my cousin who is studying English
linguistics in a university． He showed me his learning materials．H ere are two pages of t
Now I know at some point in history, the meanings of some common words that we see every
day meant something much different. The English language is developing all the time.
Nice
Generally speaking, the word “nice” is quite an expression of praise. However, back in the late
12
th
century, if someone said you were “nice”, it was far from saying good words about you.
Very long ago, “nice” was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”. That sounds more like the kind of
words that would start a fight, not put a smile on someone’s face. Later on in the 13
th
century,
‘nice” came to mean “shy and nervous”. During the 14
th
century, it even meant “being careful”.
But finally in the 18
th
century, it changed to the kinder meaning we know today, and ever since
then, people have been using it in a lovable way.
Sad
All of us get sad from time to time. It’s a usual part of life. A loved one passes away. We expect
too much progress in an exam. Or the store is out of our favourite drink. These are all things
that can make us sad.
However, once upon a time, “sad” had a very different meaning. Back in the 14
th
century, it was
the perfect word if you had eaten too much food at dinner.
Through the years, the meaning of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”. Interestingly,
when “sad” took on its present meaning, it was actually used instead of “unrot”, an old English
word that was the opposite of “rot” that meant “cheerful” or “glad”.
【1】When did "nice" come to mean "shy and nervous"?
A．In the late 12th century.
B．In the 13th century.
C．During the 14th century.
D．In the 18th century.
【答案】B

C．the store is out of our favourite drink

C．we should know about all the different meanings of words in history

（A）
Feeding a crowd of hundreds doesn’t make Kenny Seals-Nutt nervous.
In fact, he does well and successfully in the kitchen. He’s in his perfect place when dicing
tomatoes, making salads and baking cakes.
By the time Kenny, 16, reached his third year of high school at Hickory Grove,
North Carolina, US, he had become president of his school’s cooking club. He also opened his
own food company, called Modern Fusion.
Kenny said he developed his love of cooking by watching his mother, and his grandmother, who
owned a catering business（饮食业）. Kenny helped them both in order to remember their tips:
how long to cook chicken so it stays wet, and the right amount of tomatoes to add to the
noodles or fishes.
At the age of 5, he cooked his first dish. Taking it for his school lunch, he warmed it up in the
school’s microwave, while the other kids ate their sandwiches.
“I love to eat, and it started to become more fun to cook than to use a microwave,” he said.
Cooking came easy to Kenny, and he enjoyed adding new ingredients （作料） into
common dishes. “It started with a strong interest and I wanted to know more,” he said.
He began to watch the Food Network and read chef（大厨）blogs.
Last summer, Kenny put his skills to the test by working with his grandmother to cater（备办食
物）for his uncle’s wedding. While she cooked traditional dishes, Kenny wanted to add
something new to them.
Now Kenny spends his weekends catering his own events: weddings, birthday parties, baby
showers and so on. Kenny’s dishes are always a hit.
Chef Frederick Mookie Hicks, owner of a catering business, said Kenny’s success comes from
his ability in the kitchen. Hicks said he has asked Kenny to cook with him on jobs three times
now, and he presents Kenny as a positive example of a good chef to the students in his
cooking classes.

knew in the first five minutes of working with the kid that he is something special.”

49. When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the
store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.
The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite
sure about his calculations (计算), added up the things again. To his surprise he found that it
should have been but two dollars.
“I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more,” said young Abe, upset.
It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for
that.
“The money must be paid back,” he decided.
At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter,
paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.
Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked
for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.
The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the
scales (磅秤). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of
course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by
this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and
carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln,
of “Honest Old Abe”, was well deserved (应得的).
