The park covers over 4000 square kilometers and includes parts of two mountain ranges, over 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is what has been referred to as the "Crown of the Continent Ecosystem".‎ The region that became Glacier‎ ‎National Park was first inhabited by Native Americans. Upon the arrival of ‎ European explorers, it was dominated by the Blackfeet in the east and the Flathead in the western regions. Under pressure the Blackfeet gave up the mountainous parts of their treaty lands in 1895 to the federal government; it later became part of the park. Soon after the establishment of the park on May 11, 1910, a number of hotels and chalets were constructed. These historic hotels and chalets are listed as National Historic Landmarks and a total of 350 locations are on the National Register of Historic Places. By 1932 work was completed on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which provided greater accessibility for automobiles into the heart of the park.‎ The mountains of Glacier National Park began forming 170 million years ago when ancient rocks were forced eastward up and over much younger rock strata. Known as the Lewis Overthrust, these sedimentary rocks are considered to have some of the finest fossilized(石化的) examples of extremely early life found anywhere on Earth. The current shapes of the Lewis and Livingston mountain ranges and positioning and size of the lakes show the evidence of massive glacial action. Of the estimated 150 glaciers(冰川) which existed in the park in the mid-19th century, only 25 active glaciers remained by 2010. Scientists studying the glaciers in the park have estimated that all the glaciers may disappear by 2030 if the current climate patterns persist.‎ Glacier‎ ‎National Park‎ has almost all its original native plant and animal species. The park has numerous ecosystems ranging from prairie to tundra. Notably, the easternmost forests of western redcedar grow in the southwest portion of the park. ‎ Glacier‎ National Park borders Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada—the two parks are known as the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park and were designated as the world's first International‎ Peace ‎Park in 1932. Both parks were designated by the United Nations as Biosphere Reserves in 1976, and in 1995 as World Heritage sites. ‎ ‎58. The passage is written to .‎ ‎ A. recommend Glacier‎ ‎National Park to travellers ‎ B. illustrate the development of ‎Glacier‎ ‎National Park ‎ C. warn the world of the progressively worsening climate ‎ ‎ D. give a brief introduction of ‎Glacier‎ ‎National Park ‎59. What’s the right order about the history of Glacier‎ ‎National Park?‎ ‎ a. the federal government controlled the lands. ‎ ‎ b. native Americans inhabited the Glacier area.‎ ‎ c. Glacier‎ ‎National Park was established. ‎ ‎ d. the glaciers formed, expanded and moved.‎ ‎ e. the Europeans arrived and dominated the place.‎ ‎ A. d, b, a, e, c B. d, a, b, e, c C. d, b, e, a, c D. d, e, b, a, c ‎ ‎60. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. people have been able to drive to the center of the Park since it was established.‎ ‎ B. extremely early life found anywhere on Earth exists in Glacier‎ ‎National Park now.‎ ‎ C. massive glacial action affected the lakes and mountain ranges of the Park.‎ D. Glacier National Park is officially called the world's first International‎ Peace ‎Park.‎ C Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme ‘Top Gear’, discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: “That’s quite an odd combination. It’s like, ‘this must be done absolutely perfectly… tomorrow’”.‎ This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions. We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?‎ I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being ‘generally rather casual’ and ‘more outwardly friendly than many European countries’'. German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they ‘do not need a personal relationship in order to do business’. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.‎ So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson’s joke, but not batting an eyelid when it comes to generalisations. What is the difference between the two?‎ By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.‎ So what does this really mean? Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist’s experience.‎ If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.‎ In this way, some people argue that generalising another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.‎ However, others argue that generalising cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalising cultures and start treating people as individuals.‎ All this raises important questions: can making generalisations about groups of people be a positive thing? Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups?‎ ‎61. When he said, “It’s like, ‘this must be done absolutely perfectly… tomorrow’”, Jeremy Clarkson really meant ___________.‎ A. the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won’t B. the combination of half German and half Irish is interesting C. the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are opposite D. the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good ‎62. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.‎ B. The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.‎ C. The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well.‎ D. It’s typical of the Swiss to be punctual.‎ ‎63. Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because ________.‎ A. they think different cultural characteristics are useful B. they don’t want to offend other people C. cultural characteristics are better than stereotypes D. generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes ‎64. The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.‎ A. discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of people B. tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristics C. illustrate the importance of making generalizations D. show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different people D We see it everywhere. A tired parent, at the end of a stressful day, loses it - and a child suffers. We'd like to help if we could, but we hesitate. Is it our business to intervene? And if we do, will we embarrass and offend the parent, making her even more angry with the child? Will we make the mistake of harshly telling a parent to be gentle with her children? Isn't it wiser to walk past without comment? After all, none of us is a perfect parent. ‎ ‎ There seems to be a common assumption in our society that intervening on behalf of a child in a public place is necessarily hurtful and critical. It needs to be neither. There is a world of difference between officious, hurtful criticism (“How dare you treat your child like that?”) and helpful intervention done in a caring way (“It can be really hard to meet their needs when you're so busy. Is there anything I can do to help?”) There is nothing essential in intervention that requires one to be offensive. The act of offering assistance to the parent, or comfort to the child, needs to have no offending qualities at all.‎ ‎ Many in our society make a second common assumption that the choice we have is to give a message to the parent (and the child) or to give no message at all. But “giving no message” is not, in fact, one of our choices. We give as clear a message by walking past a distraught child as we do by intervening. Walking past, we give the message to the child that no one cares about his suffering, and to the parents we give the message that we approve of their actions.‎ ‎ I have been asked if I advocate intervention in every case of potential abusiveness. Of course I do not. But there is a big difference between a child crying for no apparent reason and one who is crying because he has just been hit hard, insulted, or completely ignored. But even if a baby is crying for mysterious reasons, the parent might still welcome an offer of assistance. ‎ ‎ Babies cry for many reasons. Yet my friends and I have witnessed some really harmful acts: slapping, hitting, pinning against a wall, severe verbal abuse, hurtful comparisons to brothers and sisters, and so on. These children accept this treatment because they are too helpless and inexperienced to stand up for themselves. Should we simply walk past an obviously abusive situation? At exactly what point should we step in? Should we wait until the child is the victim of a severe physical assault? But assault takes many forms. That emotional abuse leaves no outward scars should not excuse us from helping these children. Those of us who can recognize damaging treatment have an obligation to step in.‎ ‎ There is one more reason for intervening that is nearly always overlooked in these discussions, but which I consider to be the most significant: the lifelong effect it can have on the child. Many adults in counseling sessions still recall with gratitude the one time that a stranger stepped in on their behalf, and how much it meant: that someone cared, and that the child's feelings of anger and frustration were recognized and accepted. These adults have stated to me that this one intervention changed their lives and gave them hope. Are we to bypass the opportunity to make such a big difference in the life of a child? ‎ ‎ Even in the unfortunate --- and hopefully rare --- case where the parent is offended, the intervention may still act as a reminder to the parent to be more attentive to the nature of their interactions with their child.‎ ‎ Psychiatric case histories clearly show that today’s psychopathic adults were yesterday's hurt children. There is no time machine we can take to help yesterday’s children. But we can help today's children to become secure and responsible adults who will treat their own children with dignity, love, and compassion.‎ ‎65. What does the underlined word “intervene ” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ ‎ A. To ruin a quiet and peaceful situation. ‎ ‎ B. To get involved in order to change an action. ‎ ‎ C. To come between when you are not wanted. ‎ ‎ D. To stop one’s action by suddenly speaking to him.‎ ‎66. If you pass an abusive situation without intervention, _______.‎ ‎ A. the parent will be disappointed ‎ B. the child will feel lonely and helpless ‎ C. the abuse will become more severe ‎ D. the other passers-by will blame you ‎67. Which is one of the reasons that stop people from helping an abused child?‎ ‎ A. Their forgiveness for the parent’s action.‎ ‎ B. Their ignorance of what is happening.‎ ‎ C. Their worry about the parent’s attack.‎ ‎ D. Their disregard for the child’s situation.‎ ‎68. Which intervention does the writer most likely approve of?‎ ‎ A. Don't you think you are too hard on your child?‎ ‎ B. Our law doesn't allow you to treat your child like that.‎ ‎ C. If you can't look after her well, just leave her at home.‎ ‎ D. The boy may be tired. Do you need any help?‎ ‎69. What can we learn from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Intervention only applies to physical abuse.‎ ‎ B. If you see a child crying, intervention is always needed.‎ ‎ C. Proper intervention helps a child grow healthily.‎ ‎ D. A psychological problem is not so difficult to get rid of.‎ ‎70.

Teachers should not abandon homework. Instead, they should improve its instructional quality. Homework has been a constant topic of debate in education. Throughout the first few decades of the 20th century, educators commonly believed that homework helped create disciplined minds. By 1940, growing concern that homework interfered with other home activities sparked a reaction against it. Since then, arguments for and against homework have continued to multiply.‎ A number of synthesis studies have been conducted on homework, including a broad range of methodologies and levels of specificity. Two meta-analyses by Cooper and colleagues are the most comprehensive. They concluded that the relationship between homework and student achievement was found to be positive and significant. Doing homework causes improved academic achievement. ‎ Although the research support for homework is powerful, the case against homework is popular. The authors of How Homework Is Hurting Our Children and What We Can Do About It criticized both the quantity and quality of homework. They provided evidence that too much homework harms students' health and family time. Inappropriate homework may produce little or no benefit. They insisted that teachers reduce the amount of homework and avoid homework over breaks and holidays.‎ One of the more controversial issues in the homework debate is the amount of time students should spend on homework. Researchers have offered various recommendations. For example, 5 to 10 minutes per subject might be appropriate for 4th graders, whereas 30 to 60 minutes might be appropriate for college-bound high school students. ‎ Another question regarding homework is the extent to which schools should involve parents. Some studies have reported minimal positive effects or even negative effects for parental involvement. Experts recommend interactive homework in which parents receive clear guidelines spelling out their role and teachers do not expect parents to act as experts regarding content or to attempt to teach the content. Especially useful for parent-child relation purposes are assignments calling for students to show or explain their written work or other products completed at school to their parents and get their reactions or to interview their parents to develop information about parental experiences or opinions relating to topics studied in social studies. ‎ Finally，assignments should cause students and their parents or other family members to become engaged in conversations that relate to the academic curriculum and thus extend the students' learning. ‎ The Case For and Against Homework Debates on Homework in the 20th century Case ‎ For And Against Homework Doing home work contributes to students (73)______ academic achievements.‎ ‎(74)______ too much homework to students harms their health and family time.‎ Homework helped students create minds of (71)______ rules.‎ People were (72)______ that homework interfered with other home activities.‎ ‎(75) ‎ Assignments should help with the communication between students and parents about the academic curriculum, thus (80)_______ the students’ learning.‎ Homework should be realistic in length and difficulty (76)_______ on the students’ grades.‎ Parents should be told (77) ____ what role they should play in getting (78) _____ in the students’ homework.‎ Students are (79)_______to show what they do at school and get their parents’ reactions to develop their learning.‎ 第五部分：书面表达（满分 25分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文 Occasionally, We are faced with challenges and events that can seem overwhelming and life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going. ‎ But why do I talk about the benefits of difficulties?

Though I was much burdened with pressure, I quickly sensed my rival’s incompetence in ball-controlling. Finally I won. Behind the victory were the patience and perseverance needed to overcome fear, coupled with my courage to abandon normal strategies.‎ So, when in the face of difficulty, firstly, it is advisable to have a positive psychology, being more confident and courageous. Secondly, we’d better give serious consideration to making some practical plans and solutions. In this way, we’ll find there is no obstacle we can not get over. ‎ 答案解析：‎ 第一节 单项选择 ‎21. 答案B。 something of a/an ….为固定短语，意思是“有几分” “一定程度的”‎ ‎22. 答案B。no less “一样的” “同样的”‎ ‎23. 答案D。whose在定语从句中作定语。‎ ‎24. 答案A。名词辨析题，accommodation “食宿，住宿”；assistance “帮助”；allowance”“津贴”；admission“承认，允许进入”。根据第二句It will take them some time before they can finish suitable house rent for themselves 可知应选A ‎25. 答案B。现在分词完成式作状语，表示比谓语早的动作。‎ ‎26. 答案A。vain虚荣的；自负的；自视过高的 ‎27. 答案B。用现在完成时，强调目前的情况，呼应第一句。‎ ‎28. 答案C。强调句。‎ ‎29. 答案B。 as 引导让步状语从句，插在主句中。‎ ‎30. 答案D。根据下文的divided可知in concert with 与…合作(同心协力)为正确答案。虽然D项没学过，但是根据语义复现，及其它三个选项的意思可推出答案。in conflict with 与…冲突 in response to 答复 in defense of为…辩护 ‎ ‎31. 答案B。up in the air悬而未决 ‎32. 答案 D all weapons banned独立主格结构，表条件 ‎33. 答案B。essential 后that从句使用虚拟语气，动词形式为should +动词原形，should可省略。故选B ‎34. 答案B。动词辨析。 commit 犯（罪），violate 违反；offend 冒犯；destroy 毁坏 ‎35. 答案C。交际用语题。that’s right那是对的；don’t mention 通常回答Thank you。‎ ‎ no worries 没问题，不用担心。 forget it。别想了，忘了吧。根据句义应选C 第二节 完形填空 ‎【语篇导读】本文讲诉了作者患了一种经常会突然间失去知觉，昏倒在地的病（后来确诊为“POTS体位性心动过速综合征”）。她的大多数朋友都觉得她的病是“心里问题”（it was "all in my head."）（之前还非常健康，活蹦乱跳，怎么会老是突然间昏倒），认为她是一个"attention-seeker."（寻求关注者）。可是作者，面对逆境，心里总是怀着希望，held the belief that things would get better，最终度过难关。文章告诉我们：生命中仅有的残疾就是残疾的生活态度。坚信美好，才会美好！‎ ‎36.
