第一节(共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分)
A
After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled, Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’ ”
“Impressed--she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil--Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.
On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled(炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”, Mrs. Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”
Mrs. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life. There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said.
From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can infer that ________ .
A. Yale was her last choice
B. Marie Colvin was confident of herself
C. Yale must keep its promise to Marie Colvin
D. Marie Colvin was good at persuading
Which of the following is the correct order to describe Marie Colvin’s life?
a. She was doing a story in Syria and got killed.
b. She was admitted to Yale University.
c. She studied in Brazil as an excellent student.
d. She was hired by The Sunday Times of London.
e. She began to take an interest in journalism.
A. d→e→c→a→b B. b→c→d→e→a
C. e→d→c→b→a D. c→b→e→d→a

A. dislikes the choice of her daughter.
B. cares little about her daughter.
C. knows her daughter very well.
D. doesn’t fully appreciate her daughter.
4. What can be the best title of the text?

Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today.
Wide uptake of cholesterol—busting statin drugs(降胆固醇药)，healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的) problems.
However，heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer.
中华资 源 The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011.
The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women.
Some nations---including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population.
Overall，heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age.
But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4 million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under Townsend said：“Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men.”

C
An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.
9. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________.
A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products
B. some imported goods causes environmental damage
C. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage
D. people wasted energy buying food from other countries
10. The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance ________.
A. that a food product travels to a market
B. that a food product travels from one market to another
C. between UK and other food producing countries
D. between a Third World country and a First World food market
11. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________.
A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones
C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money
12. From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________.
A. a supporter of free global trade
B. a member of a Food Commission
C. a supporter of First World food markets
D. a member of an energy development group

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every day we watch TV or read magazines or newspapers to get more information. But what are the advantages or disadvantages of the two media?
16 Watching them is pleasant and does not require the effort of reading. If television did not cover the news, some people would know nothing about what is going on in the world.
However, television newscasters cover only the events that they have time for, and they prefer stories that include some impressive pictures. Viewers are quickly bored with reporters who sit and talk into the camera. 17 .
However, 18 . They can include details, and a person with a special interest can take the time to read them. Others can stick to the headlines.
Reading allows more freedom of choice than television. 19 In broadcasting, “one size fits all”. However, a person who reads newspapers and magazines can choose to spend time on business, sports, health, or the school board election, depending on special interests.
20 However, a person who has individual interests and who wants the whole story needs newspapers and magazines as well.
TV news is not a person’s only source of news.
Television news shows are impressive and interesting.
More people get news by watching television than by reading newspapers.
The TV audience cannot decide which stories to watch.
Television provides a useful glance at what’s happening.
newspapers and magazines do a better job of explaining complex events.
As a result, a complicated story is often cut short.

A survey basing on 1,000 students found that half of the pupils and 80% of the middle school students sleeps less than nine hours every night. Too many homework given by school teachers and parents is the main reasons. Another reason lies in students’ bad habits. Some students, for example, are absent-minded while doing his homework, and some waste their after-class time. The third reason is because some students have to get up early on weekdays to get school far away from home.

将该项涂黑。
A
The White House has announced plans to allow visitors to take photos and use social
media during public tours of the building for the first time in 40 years. In previous years,
the public was banned from taking photographs with camera phones inside 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue. However, visitors will now have the chance of taking the perfect
selfie(自拍)as long as it's nor with a selfie stick at the White House, since the ban has
been abolished,
First Lady Michelle Obama made the announcement about the change of policy in a
video posted to her Twitter account. "If you've been on a White House tour, chances are
that you may have seen this sign," she said holding up a piece of paper. "Well, not any
more," she said smiling as she tore the sign apart, which had been displayed during tour
hours。
The White House said in a statement, "Guests are now welcome to take photos
throughout the White House tour route and keep those memories for a lifetime." The
long-standing ban ends on July 1st, and from that point on guests will be able to start
using camera phones.
Embracing the increasing importance of social media, the White House is even
encouraging people who pay a visit to the house to share their experiences on Twitter using
the tag "White House Tour". Official guidelines state that guests will be able to use phone
cameras with a lens(镜头)of three inches or less.
But the White House warns that visitors must ensure that their photography doesn't
interrupt the enjoyment of other guests on the tour. While it gives no specific reason for
the sudden change, there are still a few things that guests are not permitted to do. For
instance, video cameras, including iPads and camera sticks, are not allowed for themoment.
21. Which of the following will be allowed for photography in the White House?
A. Camera phones. B. Four-inch lenses. C. Selfie sticks. D. iPads.
22. We can learn from the passage that _
A. the photo ban in the White House annoyed visitors
B. the first lady plays a key role in changing the policy
C. visitors can take photos in the White House as they like
D. the sign corn apart by Michelle Obama read "NO PHOTOS"
23. Where can we most probably read the passage?
A. In a travel guide, B, In a government report.
C. In a newspaper. D. In a photography magazine.
B
Many people today do not enjoy grocery shopping, but the experience we have is still
many times better than that of the past.
Gone are the days when consumers paid higher prices for the advantage of a painfully
slow shopping experience. In addition to lower prices, supermarkets also offer shoppers
added convenience and much quicker service.
In the old days, grocery shopping was quite a bit troublesome. Consumer-sized
packages did not exist, so a clerk had to measure out the exact amount you needed for
everything you bought. This system cost much labor and therefore was rather expensive.
On top of that, the entire experience was extremely time-consuming as, much like buying
meat at a butcher shop, the number of shoppers that a store could serve at the same time
was limited by the size of its staff. The high labor costs and poor efficiency (效率) were
quite a problem for both the industry and its public.
The supermarket is a large departmentalized retail store, offering "one-stop shop"
convenience with housewares , magazines, beauty products, and much more in addition to
the food items sold by traditional stores. Need soap to go with your newspaper and bread?
The supermarket saves you time by providing all three items under one roof. Along with
added convenience comes added efficiency.
Shoppers can now fetch what they want from shelves instead of waiting for service.
This in turn reduces the need for additional staff, helping owners to cut costs greatly and
to pass the savings back to the consumer. In fact, supermarkets pass so much of the
savings back that their margins are razor-thin - only l to 3 percent - so to make a profit,
they must rely on extremely high turnover rates and keeping operating expenses low, for
example, by not offering delivery for one. The result is a quick and painless shopping
experience with very reasonable prices.
24. Which of the following is listed as a disadvantage of traditional grocery stores?
A. Fewer staff members. B. Less shopping time.
C. Smaller trading profits. D. Higher operating costs.
25. The underlined word "margins" means .
A. savings B. prices C, profits D. expenses
26. Supermarkets don't offer delivery for one because .
A. they want to keep costs down B. it isn't a good way to attract consumers
C. there is no demand for such a service D. it's the major cause of low efficiency
27. The passage mainly aims to .
A. introduce the origin of the supermarket
B. discuss the disadvantages of traditional grocery stores
C. explain why the general public hate grocery shopping
D, outline the advantages of supermarkets over traditional groceries

It was days or even weeks since I had been left on the island. My only companion was
a dog called Philly which had survived the shipwreck. Memories of what happened were
still fresh.
The magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As the first
signs of the storm started, our captain announced it’s nothing much, just another storm.
Yet, he was wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holes were made at the
sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly
by the dark water.
My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. Are you hungry?
I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred. Woof, woof! Barked Philly
enthusiastically. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I could not
remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship. As I had
never fished before! I thought maybe I could try something simpler, like picking fruits.
With Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked into the forest on the
island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this
island? I wondered. As we were looking for fruit trees, we chanced upon one that bore
yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking-we had company, It was a dark-
skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and grass. I backed away from her,
afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing
her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.
I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to follow
her, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the
small path, there was a small village, Tears of joy filled my eyes.
28. What happened to the ship the writer had been on?
A. It was frozen in the sea.
B. It was turned over by the storm.
C. It was deserted because it was insecure.
D, It sank due to the damage caused by the storm.
29. According to the passage, which of the following can best describe Philly?
A. Active and brave. B. Caring but impatient.
C. Smart and loyal. D. Noisy but enthusiastic.
30. Why did the writer walk into the forest?
A. To take shelter from the storm. B. To go to a small village.
C. To find someone for help. D. To look for something to eat.
31. The woman most probably tried to tell the writer that .
A. the fruit tree wasn't the best choice B. the fruit was unfit for eating
C. the writer wasn't allowed to pick the fruit D. she wasn't afraid of the writer
D
Happiness is in your genes, it seems, according to a research that shows the more
people in a country who have a particular gene, the happier the nation will be. The FAAH
gene, the DNA in question, makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain.
People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.
The researchers believe that the finding can help explain why some of the world's
poorest nations are also the happiest. The team from Bulgaria looked at whether there was
a connection between the level of the FAAH gene in a population and the number of people
who said they were very happy in the global study of life satisfaction. Sweden, one of the
happiest countries in Europe and in the world, has lots of happy DNA. Some 26. 3 per
cent of Swedes have the happiness gene, compared t0 23 per cent of the British, 21 per
cent of the French and 20 per cent of Germans. The happiness gene is even rarer in
southern Europe, where it is found in 18 per cent of Greeks and just 12 per cent of
Italians. In contrast, the people in Iraq and Jordan are among the least likely to rate
themselves as very happy and also have the lowest levels of the gene.
But the gene and optimism don-t always go hand in hand. For instance, Russians
score very low on happiness, despite having the right DNA, the Journal of Happiness
Studies reports. Climatic differences are also found to be closely associated with national
differences in happiness. Study co-author Michael Minkov said, "We can notice the high
occurrence of the gene in equatorial(赤道的) and tropical environments in South America
and Africa, and the lower occurrence of it around the Mediterranean Sea than in Northern
Europe. "

about objects they bring in to school-called "show and tell.” 36 Even so. a great
many native English' speaking adults are afraid to speak or give presentations in front of a

and employees. The best way to improve is to practice public speaking. Learners need to

organization that holds weekly meetings at which members each give a speech and give
others advice about their speeches and speaking style in a friendly environment.
Charles LeBeau, the author of Speaking of Speech, is a professor and public
speaking consultant in Toastmasters. Speaking of Speech tells about some methods of
public speaking for non-native speakers. 38 In the book, to help them understand
presentation skills, Mr. LeBeau divides public speaking into three parts: the physical
message, the visual message and the story message.

there's the visual message. The visual message refers to the slides that we make and show
the audience. The third message is the story message, the content of our presentation. It
also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.
The simple approach has proved to be very effective. Mr. LeBeau says learners
improve quickly and d0 8 good presentation after a few days of study. 40
A. He has also written books on the subject.
B. This training is a basis for later public speaking.
C. Speaking English is really necessary for students.
D. Body language is what he calls the physical message.
E:. English language learners around the world use this book.
F. There is a large industry of consultants training public speaking.
G. But he stresses it can take years to improve general English speaking ability.
