I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely 37 , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I _38 at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try. I felt tense and _39 . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling over head, that I was about to 40 myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the 41 before me, the violin under my chin. The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _42 and to stay more or less in tune. To my 43 , I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any 44 at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my 45 as though getting rid of some guilty evidence I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truth of the 46 by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money—the sight could _47 a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to 48 it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to _49 his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a 50 practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off the cream, but always leaving two 51 behind. Old _52 were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids. As for men, heavy drinkers were always receptive and so were big guys with muscles. But_53 a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the least _54 of all. Except for retired any officers, who would shout "Why aren't you 55 , young mad?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion. 36. A. violin B. luck C. skill D. art 37. A. station B. bridge C. street D. spot 38. A. stopped B. wandered C. played D. sat 39. A. lost B. excited C. nervous D. strange 40. A. shame B. show C. damage D. declare 41. A. pavement B. bridge C. wall D. road 42. A. angrily B. slowly C. smoothly D. roughly 43. A. excitement B. sorrow C. astonishment D. surprise 44. A. money B. pity C. notice D. rest 45. A. hat B. pocket C. hand D. bag 46. A. people B. performance C. music D. trade 47. A. encourage B. discourage C. help D. support 48. A. fill B. empty C. tear D. hide 49. A. make B. get C. drop D. earn 50. A. modern B. regular C. timely D. economic 51. A. pennies B. dollars C. pounds D. euros 52. A. workers B. teachers C. ladies D. doctors 53. A. sometimes B. often C. always D. never 54. A. generous B. comfortable C. handsome D. selfish 55. A. playing B. working C. cheating D. shopping 第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 请阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A 56.According to the Code,visitors should act______.

B My day began on a definitely sour note when I saw my six-year-old wrestling with a limb of my azalea(杜鹃花)bush. By the time I got outside, he’d broken it. “Can I take this to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes. The washing machine had leaked on my brand-new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix it the night before when I asked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan. It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out. Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As I finished hanging up the last of my husband’s shirts, I looked at the clock. 2: 30. I was late. Jonathan’s class let out at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school. I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teacher’s door and peered through the glass. She rustled through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said. I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. “Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher insisted. “See that little girl?” I watched the bright-eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded. “Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didn’t want to live, she wished she could die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, ‘Nobody loves me. ’ I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse.” “I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan,” I said. “I do,” she said, touching the sleeve of my blouse. “Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, ‘I love you. ’“ I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank you,” I said, reaching for Jonathan’s hand, “you’ve made my day.” Later that evening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a biblical verse came to me: “... these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” While my son had put love into practice, I had only felt anger. I heard the familiar squeak of my husband’s brakes as he pulled into the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me. My husband’s eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flowers. “I love you,” I said. 58. Why did the woman cry when seeing her son had broken the azalea bush? A. Because she could not tolerate the harm to it. B. Because it made her bad mood even worse. C. Because her son did not ask her for permission. D. Because she wanted to hand it to her husband. 59. The writer wanted to hide in the mountain cave probably for the reason of . A. feeling fed up with her endless daily housework B. her husband’s failing to fix the machine in time C. boring daily routine with a feeling of lack of love D. her hoping to seek happiness in a brand new place 60. We can infer from the passage that the writer expressed love to her husband in that . A. she was inspired by her son that love was supposed to be felt and practiced B. she felt guilty that she misunderstood her husband and wanted to apologize C. she felt it necessary to have a complete family for the happiness of herself D. she wanted to prove her love and expected the same words from her husband C Most damagingly,anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour.The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger. Not everyone experience anger in the same way;what angers one person may amuse another.The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces.In contemporary culture,physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated.We no longer regard duels(决斗)as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another. Anger can be identified in the brain,where the electrical activity changes.Under most conditions,EEG(脑电图)measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal(额叶前部)areas.Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition(意向)that most of us possess most of the time.But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and,as a result of this,we’re likely to react.And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions,whether positive or negative. Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour:we move closer to people we like.Most negative emotions,in contrast,are associated with avoidance behaviour:we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious.But anger is an exception to this pattern.The angrier we are,the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger:the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger.This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry(不对称)of EEG activity.Interestingly,this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy(同感)towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response.In defensive anger,in contrast,the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation. 61.The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger______. A.usually has a biological basis B.varies among people C.is socially and culturally shaped D.influences one’s thinking and evaluation 62.What changes can be found in an angry brain? A.Balanced electrical activity can be spotted. B.Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas. C.Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour. D.Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition. 63.Which of the following is typical of offensive anger? A.Approaching the source of anger. B.Trying to control what is disliked. C.Moving away from what is disliked. D.Feeling helpless in the face of anger. 64.What is the key message of the last paragraph? A.How anger differs from other emotions. B.How anger relates to other emotions. C.Behavioural responses to anger. D.Behavioural patterns of anger. D It doesn’t kill germs better than cooler water, but turning tap temperatures high, the US burns carbon equal to the emissions of Barbados. People typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs, a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country. It’s cold and flu season, when many people are concerned about avoiding germs. But forget what you think you know about hand washing, say researchers at Vanderbilt University. Chances are good that how you clean up is not helping you stay healthy; it is helping to make the planet sick. Amanda R. Carrico, a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.” Carrico said, “It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be way too hot for you to tolerate.” She explained that boiling water, 212°F (99.98°C), is sometimes used to kill germs - for example, to clean drinking water that might be polluted with germs. But “hot” water for hand washing is generally within 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C.) At the high end of that range, heat could kill some germs, but the sustained contact that would be required would scald the skin. Carrico said that after a review of the scientific literature, her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40°F (4.4°C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed(冲洗)and dried properly. In fact, she noted that hot water can often have an unfavorable effect on hygiene. “Warmer water can harm the skin and affect the protective layer on the outside, which can cause it to be less resistant to bacteria,” said Carrico. Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carrico’s team calculated a significant impact on the planet. “Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear minor, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,” she said. That’s roughly equal to the emissions of two coal-fired power plants, or 1,250, 000 passenger vehicles, over the course of a year. It’s higher than the greenhouse gas emissions of small countries like El Salvador or Armenia, and is about equivalent to the emissions of Barbados. If all US citizens washed their hands in cooler water, it would be like eliminating the energy-related carbon emissions of 299,700 US homes, or the total annual emissions from the US zinc or lead industries. The researchers found that close to 70 percent of respondents said they believe that using hot water is more effective than warm, room temperature, or cold water, despite a lack of evidence backing that up, said Carrico. Her study noted research that showed a “strong cognitive(认知的) connection” between water temperature and hygiene in both the United States and Western Europe,compared to other countries, like Japan, where hot water is associated more with comfort than with health. The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones. 65. What does the writer mainly focus on when writing this passage? A. Whether hot water helps kill germs effectively in hand washing. B. How hot water contributes to the serious worsening of our planet. C. Why the consumption of hot water is unnecessary and wasteful. D. What the advantages and disadvantages of using hot water are. 66. The underlined word scald in paragraph six probably means . A. burn B. improve C. soften D. wrinkle 67. According to the passage, all the following share roughly the same CO2 emissions yearly EXCEPT . A. two coal-fired power plants B. US zinc or lead industries C. 1,250, 000 passenger vehicles D. El Salvador or Armenia 68. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage? A. Boiling water at 212°F (99.98°C) works effectively in killing germs. B. Warmer water can damage the protective layer of the outside skin. C. There is much difference between cold water and hot water in reducing bacteria. D. Americans have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions in hand washing. 69. Which of the following is the standard of a comfortable water temperature for washing hands? A. Warmer in winter and cooler in summer. B. Between 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C). C. Below 104°F (40°C) or above 131°F (55°C). D. Warm enough to kill germs and clean up. 70. If you want to read stories of this kind afterwards, which of the following magazines will you probably subscribe to? A. Universal Science Fiction B. Science & Discoveries C. Environment & Protection D. Exploration of America 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 Problem: On the scale of problems, “pictures of food on the Internet” is firmly first-world. And that is almost certainly a too-generous definition of “problem.” When it comes to photographing and putting your dinner on line, I say live and let live, you know? Maybe your salad was particularly inviting and pleasing that night, and I, too, have spent many an hour clicking “random” on Smitten Kitchen and salivating(流口水). But I assume if you’re making the effort to arrange your food artfully and preserve its memory in a digital archive, you must... like food. And want it to taste good. A recent study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests that spending time focusing on images of food makes the food itself less satisfying. Methodology: The researchers assumed that imagining enjoying something might lead to satiation -- the feeling that makes the second piece of cake taste not-quite-as-good as the first. To test this, they had some people participate in two experiments that they were told were separate -- one in which they rated how appetizing different photos of food looked, and one in which they ate some peanuts and rated how much they enjoyed them. A separate group of people did the same experiment again, but in the photo-rating portion, some were asked to rate how appetizing the food was or to choose a preference between two foods, and some were asked to rate the brightness of the photo itself. Results: The more photos of food people looked at, the less they enjoyed the peanuts -- if they were looking at photos of salty food. People who looked carefully at images of sweets enjoyed the peanuts more, suggesting that imagination causes satiation only if you’re imagining a similar food. In the second experiment, participants who focused on the brightness of the photos were able to enjoy the peanuts more than those who were thinking about the deliciousness of foods while they looked at the images. Implications: You’ll probably enjoy your food more if you don’t take a picture of it, or scroll through images of cookies at work and then eat one when you get home. This also has potential implications for advertisers, who may unknowingly be giving away satiation for free when they show images of chicken wings or whatever in front of us all day long. But luckily the study provides a hint: Try not to think about the food’s taste while you take a photo -- just focus on your composition. 第五部分:书面表达(满分25分) 81.请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。 The crowd at the airport moved forward like waves. The passengers had been waiting for a couple of hours for an airline employee to open the door leading to the plane outside. No one was in a good mood. An old man got trapped in the middle of the rush. Suddenly, he fell down, his head hitting the concrete floor, with blood gushing from his forehead. He appeared to be unconscious. Everyone rushed past him, except for Dana. She called for help. A minute later, a young airline employee showed up. Hardly looking at the old man, she told Dana to get aboard her plane. She said the old man would be okay, and walked away. Dana screamed for help. An airport supervisor appeared. He told Dana to get on the plane. Dana said that she was not moving until an ambulance arrived. The supervisor said her plane would leave without her. Dana said that she didn’t care. An ambulance and two doctors finally arrived. The paramedics said that the man would be okay, but he would need stitches(缝线). They put him into the ambulance and drove off. On her way out to the plane, which was still refueling, Dana saw the employee who had ignored the old man. The employee said, “You’re lucky the plane didn’t leave without you.” “The plane?” Dana asked. “Who cares about the plane? How could you be so cold? That was an old man; he could have been your grandfather! How would you like it if everyone just stepped over your grandfather and went on their way?” 【写作内容】 1.以约30词概括上文的主要内容; 2.以约120词谈谈你阅读了该故事后的感受,内容包括: (1) 当时在场的人是怎样的一种心理? (2) 如果你当时也在场,你将如何处理?

The rest of the passengers, including the airline employee walked past except Dana, who accompanied him until an ambulance came to his rescue. Psychologically, the passengers must have been feeling sorry. However, already a couple of hours wasted, they couldn’t wait to board the plane. That way, it could take off sooner and reach their destinations earlier. Similarly, the employee didn’t want to cause more delays and complaints. If I were present, I would undoubtedly act quickly, carrying him and rushing for the nearest hospital. For me, life can’t be more precious. How could I walk my way ignoring a bleeding being? Certainly, we can’t blame passengers for their “coldness”. It was understandable when they rushed their way once time was due. However, the staff of the airport should bear the responsibility to ensure every passenger’s safety. It was nobody but they that was offering service. 听力原文 Text 1 W: Oh, I have to go downtown this afternoon, and I’ve just missed the bus. M: It's difficult to get a taxi here. I’ll take you in my car.

By the way, what sport are you taking part in? M: Swimming. W: Good luck to you. M: Thank you. Text 9 M: Hello, Mary. I wonder how I can get to your place. W: Well, when you get to Waterloo Station, take the underground to Regent’s Park. I’ll meet you there at the gate, which stands out so much that you can’t miss it. By the way, when are you leaving? M: I’m ready now. I'll take the train at 11: 34. Yeah, I think it is 11: 34. So should I take the underground at the station? W: That's it. Take the Bakerloo Line to Regent’s Park. It's only about four stops. M: OK, I’ll be there soon. W: Oh, by the way, I'll be with Tom, and we're going to play badminton later at the club. Would you like to join us? The gym is modern and quite bright and you can also enjoy special service. Oh! But look, if you want to catch your train, you’d better go now. It must be nearly half past eleven already. M: Wow! You’re right. I didn’t realize it was so late. I’d better take my luggage right now and run. See you around twelve thirty. Bye. Text 10 Attention please, ladies and gentlemen. Our bus is getting close to Cambridge, where we’ll be stopping to eat. We'll have our lunch in the garden of a restaurant overlooking a small park that reminds people of a very famous tree. It's said that General George Washington took command of the army in 1775 under its very branches. It was almost 100 years later, in 1864, that the city of Cambridge celebrated the event and from that moment on, the tree was called the Washington Elm. Later the tree was attacked by insects and finally destroyed in a storm. The remains of the tree were cut down and the growth rings were counted to find out how old the tree was. Well, it seems that if Washington had accepted the command of his army under this tree he must have done so on his knees. This particular elm couldn't have been over 3 or 4 years old in 1775. It is a well-known fact that Washington took command under an elm tree, but unfortunately it couldn't have been the famous Washington Elm. Well, enjoy your lunch. Watch your step as you leave the bus. 查看更多
