In a talk at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. Although his Mandarin was far from perfect, students and faculty cheered his ___36___.‎ Zuckerberg’s talk raises a large question: is Chinese the language of the future? Could it ___37___ English as the world’s international language? Mandarin Chinese already has the ___38___ native speakers of any language. And, China may soon ___39___ the United States as the world’s largest economy.‎ The ___40___ of the Chinese language is increasing in the United States and around the world.

Ms. Clements thinks knowing Chinese could give her children a competitive ___43___.‎ Clayton Dube, head of the U.S.-China Institute at the University of Southern California, thinks Chinese will grow in ___44___, especially for people who want to work and do business in China. “As China rises you can expect that more people will ___45___ the language. But is China going to replace English? I don’t think so—certainly not in my ___46__, probably not in the next two, three, four generations.”‎ Dube says American pop culture is one reason for English’s ___47___ as a foreign language. “American movies, music, television, video games have ___48___ audiences ... So far China’s success in this field has been very ___49___. Chinese films, Chinese television shows, Chinese music doesn’t have a huge following outside of China.”‎ Andres Martinez, a professor at Arizona State University, says that he ___50___ Chinese culture and expects the language to grow.

At their highest, the cliffs soar an impressive 702 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, offering the million visitors who visit each year incredible views sure to leave hearts racing both from the beauty and the height.‎ ● White Cliffs of Dover, UK These famous cliffs along England’s south-eastern coast are as rich in history as they are in beauty. They stand tall along the Strait of Dover, separating England from France and continental Europe. During World War I, the first bomb to hit the UK fell in Dover, and it served as a prominent location during WWII as well. And nowadays, the city is the best known for the beauty of its chalky white cliffs.‎ ● Mount Thor, Canada The name Mount Thor may inspire fear or respect — as well it should, considering this is the steepest, tallest cliff in the world. Thor reaches an astonishing 4?101 feet above sea level, and the utter greatness of its vertical incline kept it from being successfully gone up until 1965. Today, it remains a challenging and popular place for rock climbers.‎ ● Cliffs of Etretat, France Located along France’s Alabaster Coast, these cliffs offer more than just steep walls. Climb to the top and you’ll have views of arched rock formations, as well as scenery that inspired the famous painter Claude Monet. At various points along the cliffs’ 80-mile stretch, you can spot natural sculptures that are said to resemble an elephant, among other things.‎ ‎56．The purpose of the author is to ________.‎ A. introduce some of the world’s most amazing cliff views B. advise people to climb rocks in their free time C. ask people to explore why the cliffs are so steep D. call on people to protect our environment ‎57．If you want to challenge yourself as a rock climber, the best choice is _______.‎ A. Cliffs of Etretat B. White Cliffs of Dover C. Ckiffs of Moher D. Mount Thor ‎58．The beauty of the chalky white cliffs can be enjoyed by visiting ________.‎ A. the Atlantic Ocean B. Dover C. Alabaster D. the Strait of Bass ‎59．We can learn from the passage that_________.‎ A. Claude Monet got his inspiration partly from Cliffs of Dover B. Thor soars an amazing 702 feet above sea level C. visitors to Cliffs of Dover are impressed by its history D. natural sculptures are commonly seen along most cliffs B In New York, Ma witnessed the Alibaba Group opening on the New York stock exchange with the largest initial public offering (新股发行) in American history. “Alibaba, the world’s largest Internet commerce company makes China equal to the US in the rapidly increasing global competition for technological innovation and economic transformation” commented the South China Morning Post.‎ It has also made Ma China’s richest man with a fortune of around $25 billion (153 billion yuan), reported Reuters.‎ It’s reported that Ma’s rags-to-riches journey is just as spectacular as his Internet empire. Ma failed the national college entrance exams twice before he was finally in Hangzhou Normal University on his third attempt and failed in finding a suitable job several times. Also, Mr Ma is a big believer in perseverance, which was proved in his English study experience.‎ However, it was his vision and goals that launched his career.‎ During a short trip to the US as an interpreter in 1995, Ma first experienced the Internet. He believed in the Internet’s business potential when few other Chinese people did. He started Alibaba in his Hangzhou apartment, with 17 friends and $60,000 of funds. At the time, when e-commerce was unheard of in China, “I called myself a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers,” he once said, according to The Guardian. His unusual ideas earned him the nickname “Crazy Jack Ma” .‎ Indeed, Ma is different. Although he is very thin and about 160cm tall, “Ma is yet animated and forceful, said The Guardian. “He is funny, creative, and a compelling (引人注目的) speaker.‎ Ma told Time magazine that he was “old for the Internet”. He started to slow down and looked around. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ma “plans to open a Tai Chi club with the actor Jet Li, builds an entrepreneur (企业家) university in Hangzhou and continues to work on several environmental projects.” 60．What made Ma into e-commerce industry?‎ A. His English learning experience.‎ B. His foresight and ambitions.‎ C. His belief in perseverance.‎ D. His 17 friends and $60,000 funds.‎ ‎61．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Ma is a blind man riding on a blind tiger.‎ B. Ma had no confidence in his business future.‎ C. Ma knew little about e-commerce.‎ D. Ma had not enough money at that time.‎ ‎62．What’s the personality of Ma Yun according to the passage?‎ A. Funny and competitive.‎ B. Determined and creative.‎ C. Rich and different.‎ ‎63．What’s the best title of the passage?‎ D. Attractive and believable.‎ A. The Development of Alibaba Group B. Ma Yun’s Personal Life C. Ma Yun’s Crazy Success D. E-commerce in China C Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day Gift No. 1‎ Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need,” but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.‎ Gift No. 2‎ Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them.“Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life,” Dr Marie Savard said.‎ Gift No. 3‎ Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”‎ Gift No. 4‎ Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity. Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things—many of which are “green”—and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.‎ ‎64. What can be a gift of organization for your mother? A. Keeping her medical records together.‎ B. Buying all gifts for her from one company.‎ C. Making a list of her medical check-ups. D. Storing her medicines in a safe place.‎ ‎65. Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to________.‎ A. enjoy good sleep B. be well-organized C. get extra support D. give others help D I do not know Sybrina Fulton. Nor can I claim to understand the depth of her pain. Yet, we share a deep connection. A common feature experienced by those women who face the challenge of raising a Black male child in a nation that far too often views Black male bodies through fear. You see, Ms. Fulton is living my nightmare. A constant worry that has stayed in the back of my mind since the birth of my eldest son, some sixteen years ago.‎ Through the years, I have witnessed the world’s reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man. In his early years, his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic(有磁性的). Complete strangers would approach him in the street, draw him into conversation, and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit. Even at that time I worried, how would my son react when in the years to come some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute, intelligent boy, might grasp their purse tighter as he walked by.‎ Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that comes from undeserved hatred. I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life. He knows, for example, that if he is ever pulled over by the police, that he is to keep both hands on the wheel at all times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions. He knows, even in less threatening situations, that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it, than when his white friends display the very same behavior. Still, the truth of the matter is, no amount of advice or voiceless behavior overcomes the physical, immovable fact of the color of his skin. His intelligence, easy smile, and lovable character won’t protect him from unfounded assumptions of criminality.‎ What makes the Trayvon Martin travesty(歪曲) of justice so painful to me, personally, is the knowledge that Trayvon’s mother loved her baby no less than I love mine. The various pictures of moments throughout a happy childhood that have now found a home on nationwide newscasts provides clear evidence of that. Yet no amount of love and care, and no words of advice could have saved her son from the cruel killing he faced at the hands of a self-appointed neighborhood watch-dog. And perhaps even worse, nothing could have ‎ prepared her for the inhuman way her son has been treated by officials even in death. To think for three long days, his parents searched for him while officials failed to inform them of his fate and instead, performed drug and alcohol tests on his lifeless body, while failing to do the same for his attacker—the only one of the two who indeed had a criminal past is frankly, unforgivable. To know that the words of her son’s killer were given more weight then eye-witnesses and taped evidence of her child’s screams and eventual death must be heartbreaking. But to also have to live with the fact that his attacker still breathes free while her son lays buried underground is certainly more than any sorrowful parent should have to endure(忍受)．‎ It is this type of pain that is not unfamiliar to the Black experience in America, for this is the Black mothers’ burden. A burden we have endured for centuries. We know the pain of having our newborn babies grabbed from our loving arms to be sold into lifelong servitude(奴役) and to never again experience the warmth of a mother’s loving hug. Yet, there is still the rightful expectation, that in modern-day America, the wheels of justice would not be stopped.‎ So today, it is my hope that Trayvon’s mother, father, family, and friends can take some comfort in the fact that millions of Americans of every color stand with them in their fight for justice. This is a burden no family should have to endure alone.‎ We will not give up. We will not forget. We will continue the fight until justice is done.‎ 66. What do you know about Sybrina Fulton?‎ A. She was anxious about her son.‎ B. She was painful to lose her son.‎ C. She had trouble in raising her son.‎ D. She had the same dream as the writer.‎ 67. By “keep both hands on the wheel at all times”, the writer means her son should_____.‎ A. get ready to resist B. remain where he is C. show his innocence D. pretend to be scared ‎68. From the story of Trayvon Martin, we can infer that ________.‎ A. he was killed simply because of his color of skin B. he was accused of taking drugs even after his death C. he kept silent even when he was being attacked D. the police failed to find strong evidence against the attacker ‎69. The article is mainly intended to ________.‎ A. draw attention to the facts about killings B. give comfort to the victims’ families C. appeal for the end to the terrible situation D. display hatred for terrible phenomena ‎70. Which can be the proper title for the passage?‎ A. The Cruel Killings B. The Daily Sufferings C. The Black Son’s Fate D. The Black Mother’s Burden 第Ⅱ卷 非客观题 (共 45 分)‎ 第五部分：任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）请阅读短文，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 空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ How to Survive Embarrassing Moments Have you ever done something embarrassing? At that moment, you probably wished you could disappear into thin air. Unfortunately, embarrassing things happen to everyone at one time or another. The good news? You can keep the damage to the minimum. Here's some help.‎ Laugh it off You're staring at your crush （意中人） so hard that you walk into a wall．You trip over your own feet and drop all your books. The best thing you can do? As long as you're not seriously hurt, laugh it off. Say like "Hey, I can teach you to do that if you want to!" or " It took me years to learn that!" By laughing at yourself, you show people you're confident and still in control of the situation. That's bound to make a stronger impression than the fact that you dropped a stack of books.‎ Move on Some situations are too personal to laugh off. Your underwear falls out of your backpack. Your bathing suit falls off in the pool. You pass gas while giving a presentation. Making a joke would just call more attention to what happened — and that's the last thing you want. What now? You can just pretend nothing happened and go back to what you were doing, or you can acknowledge it with a "Oh, that was awkward" and then move on.‎ If there's a joker who thinks it's a good idea to point out how badly you just embarrassed yourself, fix him with a glare and then go back to whatever you were doing. Tell yourself he is a little bug on the ground, not even worth thinking about. Remind yourself that it's over, done. Move on.‎ Apologize and move on Some embarrassing situations pack a double punch. Not only do you embarrass yourself, but you make someone else feel bad. You say to a friend that another friend is such a copycat, and then realize the copycat is standing right behind you. You imitate your teacher's unusual accent just as the teacher walks in. Now you're embarrassed and they're mad or hurt.‎ Making a joke now would make the situation even worse, so don't go there. Although you might feel like running away or even crying, neither of those responses will make you look better. Instead, apologize, "I'm so sorry. That was really mean of me. "‎ If you've been disrespectful to a teacher or a parent, accept whatever consequences without complaint. If you've hurt a friend, do your best to make it up to them. Once you've done all you can to make things right again, move on. If someone else brings it up, just say,‎ ‎"I feel bad enough about that —can we just let it go, please?"‎ The next time you're stuck in an embarrassing moment, remind yourself that you're a strong person and you can get through this. Stay calm and act confident and the moment will pass.‎ Topic It is true that we cannot 71.____________ getting embarrassed.‎ ‎72. _________ on how to keep the damage to the minimum Laugh it off Laugh it off 73.__________ you are seriously hurt.‎ Laughing at yourself helps show your ‎74.____________, which will make a deeper impression than your embarrassment.‎ Move on In some embarrassing situations, you can just move on after 75.___________ it with a “Oh, that was awkward.”‎ If someone points out your embarrassment and laugh at you, 76.___________ at him and continue what you are doing.

One man has built up an obviously higher but twisted wall, while the other's work is completely vertical, strong and solid though lower.‎ The picture implies a very important rule of doing things that we always need a balance between speed and quality. In our daily life, “The faster, the better” has become a motto for us due to the fiercely competitive environment of our society. However, our work has no value at all if we overlook the quality of it just like the man in the picture.‎ As students, with the heavy burdens of our studies, we are required to do things at high speed. Instead of worshiping the high speed only, we should always bear it in mind that no matter how fast we need to achieve something, quality may never be ignored. After all, it is our test results rather than the speed that counts. Only when we give equal attention to both quality and speed, can we achieve what we are fighting for.‎ 听力材料第一节 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。‎ ‎(Text 1)‎ W:Look John, would you mind leaving the room for a minute?

Thank you.‎ W:You’re welcome.‎ ‎(Text 9)‎ W:Hello. Care for the Community. How can I help you?‎ M:Oh, good morning. I’m interested in doing some part-time work for your organization. My name is Philippa Tailor. I’m a student at Brookfields University.‎ W:Good morning, Philippa. When would you be available to work? Days? Evenings?‎ M:Well, days would be difficult, as I have classes then. I was thinking maybe a couple of evenings a week, or maybe three. But no more than that.‎ W:OK. Philippa, why are you interested in working for us?‎ M:Well, I major in Social Care Studies. I’m hoping to apply for a job in social care when I graduate, and this would give me some work experience in this field.‎ W:Great. And what makes you suitable for this kind of work, do you think?‎ M:Well, I have very good communication skills. That’s my strong point, I think. And I’m a good listener. Sometimes you can help by just listening, you know.‎ W:I agree. Hmm, right. What I’d like to do, if it’s OK with you, is fix an appointment so we can meet and talk about this some more. It wouldn’t be anything formal, not an interview or anything like that. Er, how are you fixed for Tuesday 9th September at 4:30?‎ M:Ah, I’m sorry. I have a lesson then. Would Wednesday be possible?‎ W:The 10th? Yes, that would be fine.‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ W:This summer I took part in a really interesting project. It’s called One-Day Clean-up and its aim is to clear the world’s natural environments of rubbish. I heard about its work from my neighbors who used to take part some years ago. I thought it would be fun and persuaded a couple of my cousins to come along with me. But it wouldn’t matter if you took part on your own. You’d soon make friends with other people there. Most of the people there were teenagers. We were a very international group in my team. Over half of the people there were from Australia, like me, but there were also people from China, Thailand and the USA. Most teams were working on the south coast of the country, but mine was working on the east. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find on the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. I’m determined now to get my family to recycle as much as possible. It’ll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you’d like to join me taking part in this Day next year, it’ll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers. There’ll be a day later in the year on cleaning up woodlands.‎
