There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.‎ But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.‎ Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.‎ Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.‎ ‎24. Edison thought _______.‎ A. he could be happy if he was a genius B. genius plays the most important part in one’s success C. hard work could do better than genius D. genius could do better than hard work ‎25. Edison was _______.‎ A. very much interested in people’s secrets. B. interested in discovering the secrets of nature C. interested in changing people’s ideas D. uninterested in making people happier.‎ ‎26. In Edison’s opinion, _______.‎ A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help B. people’s success lies mostly in genius C. hard work is the second important thing in making people successful D. there are few secrets for him to discover later ‎27. The last sentence in the passage most probably implies _____.‎ A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings B. Edison made 100 inventions in his life C. Edison was able to live and work for 100 years D. people of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ work C Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-examination.‎ Using a special machine, they monitored the brain activity of 30 volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S. Eliot and others.‎ In the first part of the research, the brain activity of 30 volunteers was monitored as they read passages from Shakespeare’s plays, including King Lear, Othello, Coriolanus and Macbeth, and again as they read the text rewritten in a simpler form or modern language.‎ While reading the common texts, normal levels of electrical activity were shown in their brains. When they read the works of Shakespeare, however, the levels of activity jumped because of his use of words which were unfamiliar to them. The result of the test showed that the more challenging passages cause a greater degree of electrical activity in the brain than the common ones.‎ Scientists went on to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and recorded how it lit up as the readers came across unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentences in the classical works. As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers read common texts, encouraging further reading.‎ The research also found that reading poetry especially increases activity in the right hemisphere(半球) of the brain, an area connected with “autobiographical memory”, driving the readers to think carefully about their own experiences based on what they have read. The academics said this meant the classical works of literature are more useful than self-help books.‎ Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study in the university’s magnetic resonance center, announced this week: “Classical literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain, which provides extra power for the brain. You may never imagine how powerful it is. The research shows such kind of literature can create new thoughts and connections in the young and the old.”‎ ‎28. The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “______”.‎ ‎ A. depends on B. picks up C. sets off D. changes into ‎29. Which of the following is NOT true about reading classical literature?‎ ‎ A. It makes readers’ brain more active than reading common texts.‎ ‎ B. It makes readers’ electrical activity of brain return to normal.‎ ‎ C. It’s helpful for readers to come up with new ideas.‎ ‎ D. It’s an activity that is suitable for people of all ages.‎ ‎30. From the research, we can learn that ______.‎ A. the readers prefer Shakespeare’s works to the other writers’ works B. the words of classical works make it hard for volunteers to read further C. reading classical works produces a good and long-lasting effect on the mind D. poetry increases left-brain activity more than other literary forms ‎31. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?‎ A. Shakespeare’s plays deserve to be read.‎ B. Common books are unpopular anymore.‎ C. Poetry is best for developing people’s brain.‎ D. Classical works help the brain develop better.‎ D When a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.‎ Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.‎ Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.‎ In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.‎ Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.‎ Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.‎ ‎32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?‎ A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.‎ C. It stands quietly D. It sends out certain chemicals.‎ ‎33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?‎ A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table.‎ C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.‎ ‎34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .‎ A. predict natural disasters B. protect themselves against insects C. talk to one another intentionally D. help their neighbors when necessary ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The world is changing faster than ever.‎ B. People have stronger senses than before C. The world is more complex than it seems D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。 ‎ How to Make a Chinese Hot Pot Eating a Chinese hot pot is a very common experience.

Now, I have a better understanding of Chinese culture and find it very interested.‎ Bargaining is a Chinese custom what amazes me. In the USA, prices are set and you cannot ask for a lower price, when in China, you are expected to bargain with the salespersons in some small stores and tourist spots. I once asked my Chinese friends to teach me how to bargain. They were told me that I should ask for 40 percent or 50 percent off the price. Then, they had better tell the salesperson that the same item is cheaper at another store. If the salesperson does not agree to my price, I should pretend leave and he might ask me to come back and sell me the item for a lower price. But this skill doesn’t work effective every time. In my opinion, bargaining are a skill that I have to practice if I continue to live in China.‎ This is a unforgettable experience for me, which is beneficial to me.‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎ 假设你是高二学生李华，寒假即将来临，学校要求学生们在寒假期间做件有意义的事情。你和你的好朋友李明商量打算去当志愿者，为保护浏阳河做贡献。请根据以下提示，写一篇英语文章，内容包括下面两个方面：‎ ‎1. 浏阳河的现状： ①大量垃圾被扔进河里；②大量污水被排放到河里;‎ ‎2. 办法及措施（至少两点）：打捞垃圾 ...‎ 注意：1.词数100个左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ The winter holiday is coming.
