Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams (1860－1935)‎ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson (1907－1964)‎ If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O'Connor (1930－present)‎ When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U．S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks (1913－2005)‎ On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her ‎ seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil－rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in，” said Parks.‎ ‎1．What is Jane Addams noted for in history?‎ A．Her social work.‎ B．Her lack of proper training in law.‎ C．Her efforts to win a prize.‎ D．Her community background.‎ ‎2．Who made a great contribution to the civil－rights movement in the US?‎ A．Jane Addams. B．Rachel Carson.‎ C．Sandra Day O'Connor. D．Rosa Parks.‎ 3. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm? ‎ A. Her lack of proper training in law. ‎ B. Her little work experience in court. ‎ C. The discrimination against women. ‎ D. The poor financial conditions ‎4.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?‎ A．They are highly educated.‎ B．They are truly creative.‎ C．They are pioneers.‎ D．They are peace－lovers.‎ B ‎ Climbing the corporate ladder (晋升) during my 32 years at Southern Bell (now AT&T) never appealed much to me. But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story.‎ In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Georgia.  I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it.  I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.‎ I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.‎ I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day.‎ People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man say, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential.  Sometimes I felt a little nervous,but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could have done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.‎ ‎5.When the author first became a lineman,          .‎ A. she was sure to be promoted B. she loved it and went all out for it C. she tried her best to convince her husband D. she received immediate recognition from colleagues ‎6.What is needed to be a lineman according to the author?‎ A. Concentration and strength.‎ B. Confidence and patience.‎ C. Bravery and devotion.‎ D. Efficiency and talent.‎ ‎7.Which of the following best describe the author's husband?‎ A. Outgoing and considerate.‎ B. Proud and demanding.‎ C. Adventurous and humorous.‎ D. Open-minded and supportive.‎ C ‎ Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.‎ A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.‎ The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.‎ ‎ Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.‎ ‎ Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”‎ ‎ There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.‎ ‎ The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.‎ ‎ “You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”‎ ‎8. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on _____.‎ ‎ A. how far the grooves are ‎ ‎ B. how big the grooves are ‎ C. the number of the grooves ‎ ‎ D. the speed of the car ‎9. The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean ________.‎ ‎ A. fastest B. possible C. best D. slowest ‎10. In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.‎ ‎ A. drive very fast B. drive slowly ‎ C. open the windows wide D. keep the windows closed ‎11. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A.A New Type of Music ‎ ‎ B. Melody Roads in Japan ‎ C.A Musical Road Surface ‎ ‎ D.A New Invention in Japan D Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. New research suggests they're lipreaders too.‎ Florida scientists discovered that starting around age 6 months, babies begin shifting from the eye gaze(注视)to studying mouths when people talk to them.‎ ‎“In order to imitate you, the baby has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they're hearing，” explains psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study. “It's an incredibly complex process.”‎ Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start shifting back to look you in the eye again — unless they hear the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign language. Then, they stick with lipreading a bit longer.‎ In the experiment, David Lewkowicz tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. A device tracked where each baby was focusing his or her gaze and recorded how long the gaze lasted. ‎ They found a dramatic shift in attention: When the speaker used English, the 4month olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6 month olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8 and 10 month olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started shifting back toward the speaker's eyes.‎ It makes sense that at 6 months, babies begin observing lip movement, Lewkowicz says, because that's about the time babies' brains gain the ability to control their attention rather than automatically look toward noise.‎ But what happened when these babies used to English heard Spanish? The 12 month olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to decipher (破译)the unfamiliar sounds.‎ ‎“It's a pretty interesting finding，” says University of Iowa psychology professor Bob McMurray, who also studies baby speech development. The babies “know what they need to know about, and they're able to draw their attention to what's important at that point in language development.”‎ ‎12. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Babies Learn to Talk from Hearing Sounds B. Babies Learn to Talk by Reading Lips C. How Babies Learn Language after Birth D. Babies Can Understand a Foreign Language ‎13. When an adult talks to a 5 month old baby, the baby usually ______.‎ A. looks the adult into the eyes B. watches the adult's lip C. studies the adult's facial expressions D. feels very excited ‎14. When babies are half one year old, what can they do?‎ A. They can control their attention.‎ B. They can recognize human faces.‎ C. They can play with toys.‎ D. They can tell parents from others.‎ ‎15. We can infer that David Lewkowicz ______.‎ A. did the experiment on his own ‎ B. teaches Spanish at Florida Atlantic University C. invited a woman to speak English to babies D. studies baby speech development ‎ 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。‎ We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. __16__ In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.‎ How a speaker moves is important. Wholebody movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.‎ ‎__17__ But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation. With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. __18__ The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.‎ ‎__19__ When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.‎ ‎__20__ Then step by step, you'll become an excellent speaker.‎ A．So they usually have eye contact with the audience.‎ B．So they have trouble with eye contact.‎ C．An important part of public speaking is practice.‎ D．New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.‎ E．A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.‎ F．Improve your public speaking with body language.‎ G．Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.‎ 第二部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ Ten years ago, a doctor told me something was wrong with my lung and I had to give up work at once and went to bed.

To be honest, I am used to spend plenty of time playing computer games, what made me fall far behind my classmates.
