Here she picks her top reads.‎ Matilda ‎ Roald Dahl ‎ I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres，Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening，but they're also aspirational.‎ After Dark Haruki Murakami ‎ It’s about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse ”night people” who are hiding secrets.‎ Gone Girl ‎ Gillian Fynn There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever. ‎ ‎21.

A biography B Children with autism (自闭症) have difficuity with social skills and communication. They often behave in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests. ‎ Autism is more common in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying genes and possible environmental influences. ‎ Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Maryland. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age .‎ ‎“At six months of age, the signs of some risk of developing communication and social delays, including autism, include motor delays. For instance，when you lay your babies on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated position, their head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. It does not mean that the baby is going to have autism ，but it does mean that the baby needs to have some exercises to strengthen his body. And when the babies strengthen their body，they are better able to play with toys and engage with people, which then go on to help them have better outcomes. ‎ By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be so small that they might be missed during a short health exam. ‎ ‎“It's important for parents to stay tuned in to their children's development, and if a parent is concerned about a child's development, seek for professionals, and listen to them. ” The earlier parents notice delays, she says, the sooner they can begin doing simple things that may help improve their child's development, such as talking to the child about what they are doing, commenting when the child shows them something, and playing simple games that keep the child’s attention.‎ ‎24. What's the best title tor the passage?‎ A. How to Confirm a Diagnosis of Autism B. Children with Autism Have Difficulty with Communcation C. Ways to Help Children with Autism to Recover D. Watching for Early Signs of Autism in Babies Children with Autism Have Difficulty with Communcation ‎25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 ?‎ A. Landa has found ways to confirm a diagnosis of autism when a baby is about six months.‎ B. Doctors observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age under the guide of Landa.‎ C. Landa tried to find out autism earlier by comparing the differences as the baby grows up. ‎ D. Now doctors can confirm diagnosis of autism betore a child is about three years old.‎ ‎26. When a baby with signs of possible autism is a year and two months old, he or she may________.‎ A. show great interest in learning ‎ B. express less when communicating with others C. like reaching out to other people ‎ D. have difficulty in raising his or her head ‎27.What should the parents do when their child is diagnosed with autism?‎ A. Send the child to the hospital at once.‎ B. Spend more time talking with the child..‎ C. Find a special school for children with autism.‎ D. Encourage the child to play games online.‎ C Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.‎ Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.‎ At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea ‎ alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.‎ Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.‎ ‎28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?‎ A. They were large in number. B. They developed very fast.‎ C. They had similar patterns. D.They were closely connected.‎ ‎29. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?‎ A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Modern D.Powerful..‎ ‎30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?‎ A. About 1,200. B.. About 2,400. ‎ C. About 3,400 D. About 6,800.‎ ‎31. What is the main idea of the text?‎ ‎ A. New languages will be created.‎ ‎ B. Human development results in fewer languages.‎ ‎ C. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages.‎ ‎ D. Geography determines language evolution.‎ D Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.‎ Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.‎ Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”‎ Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.‎ People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. ‎ BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.‎ ‎32． Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?‎ A． To explain what they are. ‎ B．To encourage readers to share their ideas. ‎ C． To stress the importance of reading. ‎ D．To introduce BookCrossing. ‎ ‎33． What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?‎ A．A public place.. B． An adventure. ‎ C．The book D． The identification number.‎ ‎34． What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?‎ A． Meet other readers to discuss it. B． Keep it safe in his bookcase. ‎ C．Mail it back to its owner. D．Pass it on to another reader.‎ ‎35． What is the best title for the text?‎ A．A Website Links People through Books B． Electronic Books: A new Trend ‎ C． A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D．0nline Reading: A Virtual Tour ‎ 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。‎ It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the spring time or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure tor the common cold? The answer is easy. 36 ‎ You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one. ‎ ‎37 Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. 38 You may feel very uncomtortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.‎ ‎ Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. 39 ‎ There is one interesting thing to note--some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. 40 There is a joke, however ,on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.‎ A. When a virus attacks your body ，your body works hard to get rid of it.‎ B. lt can make our bodies stronger and stronger if we keep on doing this.‎ C. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells.‎ D. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold Viruses out there .‎ E. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.‎ F .Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms of colds.‎ G. Cold symptoms can also begin shortly after virus is first produced in the nose.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （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。‎ During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education ‎ department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 41 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to 42 a few dollars? More than that, I’d always wanted to learn chess.

I could hardly wait to 47 him.‎ Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 48 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 49 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 50 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 51 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 52 , to our lives.

I have been thinking about the question you asked me. From my point of view, you can choose to come to China after finishing your studies.‎ For one reason, China’s development over the past 30 years offers quantities of job opportunities for the young. What’s more, what you are studying is badly needed in China nowadays. In fact, many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you.‎ For another reason, China is a country with so different cultures and traditions from the west that many foreigners enjoy living and working here. Why not come and join them? I’m sure you will adapt to the environment quickly. If you come here, I will do what I can to help you. So what are you waiting for?‎ I’m looking forward to your coming.‎ Best wishes!‎ Yours, ‎ Li Hua
