The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.‎ One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight, my men," he said. "Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die."‎ They were all very tired so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.‎ The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots up. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland.‎ The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland like it so much that they made it their national flower.‎ ‎1. At the shout of a Roman soldier, all the Scots who were asleep at the hill ________.‎ A. woke and rose immediately, ready to fight B. stood up without putting on their shoes and began to fight C. began to fight the Romans hard D. put their feet into their shoes at once and were ready to fight ‎2. The result of the war is that __________.‎ A. the Romans killed all the Scots ‎ B. the Scots were defeated C. the Scots defeated the Romans D. the Scots were driven out of Scotland ‎3. The Scots made thistle their national flower because thistle __________.‎ A. is lovely, though not beautiful B. helped the Scots in wiping out the Roma C. is a kind of useful plant D. gives them happiness B Singles' Day ---- the Chinese opposite of Valentine’s Day has turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological reasons behind China's “celebration” of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country. ‎ There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural – usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio (性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family.‎ ‎ But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that large numbers of men will likely never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men.‎ Traditionally, China h as seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country. ‎ Singles’ Day can’t solve all the problems China’s singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife. I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance, there is evidence that China ' s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.‎ ‎4.In 2012, if 50 girls were born, how many boys were probably born? ‎ ‎ A. 50. B. 52. C. 60. D. 58.‎ ‎5.What made women in China get married late?‎ ‎ A. Their support of the government’s late marriage policy. ‎ ‎ B. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young.‎ ‎ C. Their higher education level and more work chances.‎ D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.‎ ‎6.What’s the writer’s attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China?‎ ‎ A. Concerned B. Optimistic C. Indifferent D. Unknown ‎7.We can learn from the passage that .‎ ‎ A. Singles' Day is celebrated all over the world.‎ B. an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crime.‎ C. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriage.‎ ‎ D. Singles' Day will solve all the problems China’s singles face.‎ C Many people now have problems with sleep. Drinking milk is helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off---if it is milked from a cow at night.‎ Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.‎ The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.‎ Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.‎ Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.‎ While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.‎ Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of he calcium content, which helps people to relax.‎ Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.‎ ‎8. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_________.‎ A. started sleep more easily B. were less active C. were more anxious D. woke up later ‎9. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?‎ A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times B. It can make people more energetic C. It’s used in sleeping drugs D. It exists in milk in great amount ‎10. What can be a suitable title for the next?‎ A. Night Milk and Sleep B. Fat, Sugar and Health C. An Experiment on Mice D. Milk Drinking and Health ‎11. How does the author support the theme of the text?‎ A. By giving examples B. By providing research results C. By explaining statistical data D. By stating arguments D What’s on?‎ Electric Underground ‎7.30pm－1.00am Free at the Cyclops Theatre 学校： 班级： 姓名： 考号： 考场： 1‎ 请 不 要 在 密 封 线 内 答 题 Do you know who’s playing in your area?
