The BBC English Dictionary contains background information on 1,000 people and places prominent in the news since 1988; the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: Encyclopedic Edition is the OALD plus encyclopedic entries; the Longman Dictionary of English Language and Culture is the LDOCE plus cultural information.‎ The key fact is that all three dictionaries can be seen to have a distinctly “cultural” as well as language learning content. That being said, the way in which they approach the cultural element is not identical, making direct comparisons between the three difficult.‎ While there is some common ground between the encyclopedic/cultural entries for the Oxford and Longman dictionaries, there is a clear difference. Oxford lays claim to being encyclopedic on content whereas Longman distinctly concentrates on the language and culture of the English speaking world. The Oxford dictionary can therefore stand more vigorous scrutiny (审查) for cultural bias than the Longman publication ‎ because the latter does not hesitate about viewing the rest of the world from the cultural perspectives of the English-speaking world. The cultural objectives of the BBC dictionary are in turn more distinct still. Based on an analysis of over 70 million words recorded from the BBC World Service and National Public Radio of Washington over a period of four years, their 1,000 brief encyclopedic entries are based on people and places that have featured in the news recently. The intended user they have in mind is a regular listener to the World Service who will have a reasonable standard of English and a developed skill in listening comprehension.‎ In reality, though, the BBC dictionary will be purchased by a far wider range of language learners, as will the other two dictionaries. We will be faced with a situation where many of the users of these dictionaries will at the very least have distinct socio-cultural perspectives and may have world views which are totally opposed and even hostile to those of the West. Advanced learners from this kind of background will not only evaluate a dictionary on how user-friendly it is but will also have definite views about the scope and appropriateness of the various socio-cultural entries. ‎56. What feature sets apart the three dictionaries discussed in the passage from traditional ones?‎ A. The combination of two dictionaries into one. ‎ B. The new approach to defining words. C. The inclusion of cultural content. ‎ D. The increase in the number of entries.  57. The Longman dictionary is more likely to be criticized for cultural prejudice because ____.‎ A. its scope of cultural entries goes beyond the culture of the English-speaking world B. it pays little attention to the cultural content of the non-English-speaking countries C. it views the world purely from the standpoint of the English-speaking people D. it fails to distinguish language from culture in its encyclopedic entries 58. It is implied in the last paragraph that, in approaching socio-cultural content in a dictionary, social thought should be given to _________.‎ A. the language levels of its users B. the number of its prospective purchasers C. the different tastes of its users D. the various cultural backgrounds of its users B Advertising means to draw people’s attention to something. It is a central feature of our lives. Sales depend upon it. So does our knowledge of what is available. Read the following adverts and see how much you understand them.‎ ‎59. About what they advertise, we can safely say that __________ .‎ A. Adverts（I）and（Ⅲ）advertise two products B. Adverts（Ⅲ）and（IV）advertise services C. Adverts（II）and（Ⅲ）advertise beliefs ‎ D. Adverts（I）and（IV）provide jobs ‎60. How many adverts are trying to be price competitive?‎ A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.‎ ‎61. Which of the following statements about the adverts above is NOT true?‎ A. A newspaper uses one of them in its own newspaper.‎ B. All of them advertise for the largest number of customers.‎ C. All of them list the prices.‎ D. All of them have included contact information.‎ ‎62. From these examples of adverts, we can conclude that __________.‎ A. some adverts are provided by newspapers free of charge B. newspaper is the most common means of advertising C. advertising is an expensive business D. adverts should appeal to customers C I have been passionate about sewing and fashion design since I was 12. Two years ago, I designed and made a set of outfits from recyclable materials for a charity fashion show. Through this highly meaningful and profound experience, I became aware of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items, resulting in my founding an organization to promote eco-friendly, design and fashion.‎ My interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications. For example, some popular clothing stores have announced marketing policies designed to improve the environment. For those of us who are eco-conscious, it is responsible for us to evaluate whether such policies are just a marketing promotion, or represent great efforts to protect our environment.‎ Three chain-stores, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Forever 21, have been promoting "green" items. After I examined their products, I have concluded that H&M and Urban Outfitters are truly helping the environment with their efforts, while Forever 21 seems to be using the "go green" trend as a way to sell more products, rather than genuinely help the environment.‎ Of these three stores, H&M has the most extensive eco -fashion plans. It is already well on its way to carrying out its plans by increasingly mixing organic cotton into their garments, as well as putting fully organic cotton items on the market. The store also belongs to the Organic Exchange Organization, which approves of growth of organic cotton. To reduce the harm from non - organic cotton production, H&M is involved with the Better Cotton Project. Mindful of the unfavorable effects of climate change, the store aims to minimize transportation and energy usage. H&M labels their eco -friendly products with an official symbol, the Flower, to represent a production system that is less harmful than most traditional processes. Because of these actions and policies, H&M is already well on its way to making a difference on the environment.‎ With its Urban Renewal brand, Urban Outfitter takes a different approach than H&M in promoting eco - friendly fashion. The brand features women's clothes made from strictly environmentally -friendly sources, such as vintage, dead stock, or surplus clothing. Urban Renewal produces fashionable garments, and embraces being eco - friendly through recycling.‎ Unlike the other two stores above, Forever 21 ' s eco-fashion efforts fall short; some people would say their message is thoroughly misleading. It promotes the "green" image, and yet many of their supposed eco -friendly products do not help the environment. For example, it sells a "Think Green Tote" that, according to the site, is meant to "send an environmentally friendly message." However it is made of 100% non - organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the environment, mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared ‎ to organic cotton. Also, the "I Love My Planet Tote" is supposed to "make a positive statement," but is also made of 100% cotton that is not organic. The only tote that is environmentally - friendly is the "H81 Organic Cotton Tote" from Forever 21's Heritage brand, made from 100% organic cotton. Now that Forever 21 has portrayed itself as being "green," it should start "walking the walk."‎ ‎63. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____.‎ A. all the customers are trying not to walk into the Forever 21 to buy products ‎ B. the Forever 21 has already been on its way to transform its negative image ‎ C. the writer publicly urges the Forever 21 to put its campaign into practice ‎ D. the environmental problem is so serious that we should pay more attention ‎64. Which of the following supports the author's opinion?‎ A. The author's environmental awareness comes from his shopping experiences. ‎ B. None of the three stores makes a difference on the ecological protection. ‎ C. Someone uses the "go green" trend just as a trick to make more profit. ‎ D. It is still a very long way before we humans will use real green products.‎ ‎65. The passage is developed by ____. ‎ A. showing cause and effect B. giving concrete figures ‎ C. making comparison and contrast D. using time order ‎66. Which of the following statements can be the best title? ‎ A. Does the Trend of Eco - Friendly Help the Environment? ‎ B. Green Products Are Common in Fashion Stores. ‎ C. A Survey of Eco - Friendly Design on Fashion Markets. ‎ D. Are Chain Stores in Fashion Really Going Green?‎ D ‎ The next generation of smart phone could combine the date from its gyroscopes (陀螺仪) with a built-in compass to allow you to track your indoor movements even without GPS.‎ ‎ Research described it in the international Journal of Innovative Computing and Applications by Shahid Ayub of Lancaster University, and his colleagues there and at HW Communications, suggests that the embedded inertial sensors (嵌入式惯性传感器) in many smart phones have added the facility to be used for localization and tracking applications. The primary benefit of using smart phones is that no additional infrastructure would need to be installed for monitoring personnel movements in a wide variety of situations not least staff, equipment and inventory movements in warehouse facilities, shopping malls and factories. In contrast, other technology being proposed would require new equipment，such as RFID technologies.‎ However, smart phones do not yet have the ability to pinpoint their location without recourse to the GPS system, which is not accessible indoors and has the added disadvantage of using up battery power very quickly even if it could be used. Inertial navigation only provides the necessary information relative to a specified starting point the team says. This is useful for anyone with a non-GPS smart phone who wishes to track the route they take when walking or jogging if they specify their starting point. The team suggests that pedestrians indoors could be positioned using a combination of the smart phone accelerometer (加速器) and an built-in digital compass, something that will become available in future smart phones.‎ They have now investigated the potential of three different smart phone placement modes: idle, hand held and listening, which could be used with pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) techniques to allow users to record the path they follow or for various kinds of workplace or other monitoring requirements.‎ ‎"The technique could be used in underground tube stations, airports , train stations where there is no infrastructure installed for tracking or navigation," Ayub explains, "It can also be used for location-based service applications. In big shopping malls it becomes easier to navigate to a target shop or meeting place, while in large offices and across industry it could be used to track employees and control movements of workers in restricted areas."‎ ‎67. What is the primary benefit of using smart phones with embedded inertial sensors?‎ ‎ A. They require new equipment, such as RFID technologies.‎ ‎ B. They can track pedestrian movement indoors with GPS.‎ ‎ C. No additional infrastructure would be needed.‎ ‎ D. No additional money would be spent.‎ ‎68. What can we know from the third paragraph?‎ ‎ A. pedestrians indoors cannot be positioned using GPS.‎ ‎ B. GPS can be used to locate pedestrians indoors.‎ ‎ C. Smart phones with embedded inertial sensors can save a lot of energy.‎ ‎ D. The current GPS system is perfect in many ways.‎ ‎69. We can learn from the passage that the recent studies of smart phones .‎ ‎ A. were conducted by Shahid Ayub alone ‎ B. were supported by GPS ‎ C. have no connection with everyday needs ‎ D. can be applied to underground tube stations ‎70. What would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Tracking Pedestrians Indoors Using Their Smart Phones ‎ B. GPS Found to Have Defects ‎ C. Additional Infrastructure Should Be Constructed in Airports ‎ D. People Need to Replace Their Current Smart Phones 第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，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：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 ‎ Back to School: Why Grit (毅力) Is More Important than Good Grades?‎ The back-to-school season is upon us, and once again, parents all over the country have loaded their kids’ backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies. It’s a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school.‎ American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this year. The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-preschool and doesn’t end until your child is admitted to the perfect college. Most parents are more worried than they need to be about their children’s grades, test scores and IQ. And what we don’t think about enough is how to help our children build their character—how to help them develop skills like ‎ perseverance, grit, optimism, conscientiousness, and self-control, which together do more to determine success than S.A.T. scores or I.Q.[来源:学科网]‎ There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our children’s school performance may actually be holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills. If you’re concerned only with a child’s G.P.A., then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces in school. With real challenge comes the risk of real failure. And in a competitive academic environment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.‎ But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “Overcoming those obstacles,” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective coping skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”‎ By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failure—when we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjects they’re good at—we are denying them those same character-building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine and Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and don’t know how to overcome them.‎ In the classroom and outside of it, American parents need to encourage children to take chances, to challenge themselves, to risk failure. In the meantime, giving our kids room to fail may be one of the best ways we can help them succeeded.‎ ‎ Back to School: Why Grit Is More Important than Good Grades?‎ Common phenomena ‎◆Parents (71) ▲ America load their kids’ backpacks up with snacks and school supplies.‎ ‎◆Many American parents don’t (72) ▲ enough importance to their kids’ character building.‎ The writer’s (73) ▲‎ ‎◆Parents should pay more attention to their kids’ character building.‎ Evidence and (74) ▲ findings ‎◆Parents’ anxiety about their kids’ performance may (75) ▲ them from learning some valuable skills.‎ ‎◆Parents concerned only with a kid’s G.P.A. have a (76) ▲ to minimize the challenges the child faces.‎ ‎◆Adults who have experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood are (77) ▲ and more confident than those who haven’t.‎ ‎◆Denying kids character-building experiences can (78) ▲ in difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood.‎ The writer’s suggestions ‎◆(79) ▲ kids to be risk-takers.‎ ‎◆Give kids room to experience (80) ▲ .‎ 第五部分：书面表达 (满分25分)‎ 近来，校车事故频发。请你结合此图，并根据以下提示，用英语写一篇短文，向学校英文报“news and issues”专栏投稿。‎ 简要描述事情引起广泛关注 政府，学校，家长等 分析原因 ‎1. 超载 2. 质量差 3. 缺乏管理 4. ……‎ 谈谈解决办法 ‎(请根据自己的经历或感想,提出至少三种做法)‎ 注意：1. 对要点逐一陈述，适当发挥，不要简单翻译；‎ ‎2. 词数150 左右。开头已经写好，不计入总词数。‎ 参考答案 听力1—5 CABCB 6—10 ABCAC 11—15 BBACA 16—20 CABCA 选择21-25AADDA 26-30 DBCAD 31 -35 CBCCD 完型36-40 BCCAA 41-45 CABDB 46-50 DAACB 51-55 DABAC 阅读56-58 CCD 59-62 BBCD 63-66 CCCD 67-70 CADA 任务型阅读 ‎71. throughout/across/around 72. attach 73. view/opinion/viewpoint 74. research ‎ ‎75. discourage/prevent/hinder/stop/keep 76. tendency 77. happier 78. result ‎79.

The issue has highlighted unsafe transport conditions and has aroused a widespread concern among the government, schools and parents as well.‎ ‎ We also have had a discussion about it in class. The following are the reasons we have thought of. First of all, overcrowding on school buses is common in China. For example, one bus, originally a nine-seat van, was carrying 62 children and two adults when it crashed. Secondly, school buses are not up to safety standards. Many passenger seats had been removed to make ‎ more space to overload. Usually, school buses are of poor quality and are not strong enough to bear any accidents. Thirdly, some of the drivers are not skilled and experienced. Last but not least, lack of strict management of school buses is also one of the main reasons.‎ In my opinion, School buses are meant to provide safe and convenient transportation to schoolchildren, but now they have become killers. Therefore it’s high time we should do something to stop it. Severely overloaded van should be forbidden. Once found, the driver should be seriously punished. The government should perform its duties to issue bus-safety regulations, conduct bus safety inspections and strengthen management of school buses. They should also allocate more funds to buy better school buses for children Drivers would also be required to conduct safety checks of buses daily. Only by joining forces can we solve the problem.‎ 听力原文 Text 1‎ M: The way Vincent speaks French, you would think he was a native, not Spanish.‎ W: Well, he is actually an Italian.‎ Text 2‎ M: Why don’t we put the television on top of this cupboard?

Nothing else seems to be doing the job.‎ W: Great. I’ll come by your place at 2:30.‎ Text 10‎ M: And now here’s news about our latest competition. You won’t believe what we’re offering you this month. As this is International Year of the Family, you have the chance to win a wonderful family holiday in Jamaica. All you have to do is take a photograph which shows family life. It could be children with their parents or their grandparents or whatever you wish. You don’‎ t have to have taken it on holiday of course. Now, the lucky winner has the chance to spend two weeks at Silver Sands Bay in Jamaica. Two weeks of beautiful beaches, sunshine, plenty for everyone to do. There are watersports, children’s entertainments and everything is included. That’s everything—food as well. Now, the second prize is a camera worth ￡500 and that’s certainly worth having for any holidays coming up. So send us your photograph—in colour or black and white—by 31 August—that’s the closing date for entries……and listen to this programme to hear if you’ve won or not. We will be announcing the winners on 15 September. Now, you must be over 18 years of age. I’m sorry kids, but you’ll have a chance next month in your super sports competition! Send your lucky photograph to us at DCM Radio, 25 East Hill, Brighton, Sussex. And don’t forget to write your name and address on the back of the photo. We can’t return any photos, I’m afraid, so make sure that you’ve got another copy if it’s your favourite
