If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.‎ ‎　　What are the purposes of this system?‎ ‎　　This is a system designed to make roads much safer. It can improve standards of driving and reduce the accident rates.‎ ‎　　Which traffic offences will result in Driving Offence Points?‎ Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system. Only those that have direct effect on road safety are included. There are altogether fourteen items.‎ Code Offence Points ‎1‎ Causing death by dangerous driving ‎10‎ ‎2‎ Dangerous driving ‎10‎ ‎3‎ Careless driving ‎5‎ ‎4‎ Driving after drinking or talking drugs ‎10‎ ‎5‎ Driving over speed limit ‎3‎ ‎6‎ Driving in a motor rave on the road ‎10‎ ‎7‎ Failing to stop after an accident ‎3‎ ‎8‎ Failing to give information after an accident ‎3‎ ‎9‎ Failing to report an accident ‎3‎ ‎10‎ Failing to obey directions of police officers ‎3‎ ‎11‎ Crossing double while lines ‎3‎ ‎12‎ Failing to obey traffic signals ‎3‎ ‎13‎ Failing to give way to walkers at a crosswalk Failing to stop for people walking ‎3‎ ‎14‎ Failing to stop at school crossing ‎3‎ What will happen if you have got up to 10 points?‎ ‎　　If you have got 10 points or above, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning letter from the Transport Department. This letter will tell you your record of Driving Offence Points and remind you of the result of getting more points. It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better.‎ ‎　　What will happen if you have got 15 points?‎ If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will take away your driving license. The first time you are found guilty you will not be able to drive for three months, but if you are caught a second time, you will not be able to drive for six months.‎ ‎66.

A report ‎ in New Scientist, suggests that a tendency to get down when life beats you up can be good for you. A growing number of cautionary voices from the world of mental-health research are claiming that it isn’t a good idea to use antidepressants （抗抑郁剂） to help get rid of unhappiness in the consequence of a marriage breakdown, death or redundancy （下岗） because “they fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as if it were a disease is playing fast and loose with a crucial part of our biology. Sadness, serves an evolutionary （进化的）purpose.”‎ ‎　　Jerome Wakefield, a clinical social worker at New York University explains that depressive feelings are part of our biological makeup. “When you find something this deeply in us biologically, you presume that it was selected because it had some advantage, otherwise we wouldn’t have been burdened with it. I think that one of functions of intense negative emotions is to stop our normal functioning, to make us focus on something else for a while.” While Paul Keedwell, psychiatrist at Cardiff University claims that even full-blown depression may have its purpose, saving the sufferer from the effects of long-term stress. Without a mental pause, he argues, “you might stay in a state of chronic stress until you’re exhausted or dead”.‎ ‎　　Although, it is important to be careful when talking about depression, having the upside traced in your downside will have an irresistible （不可抵抗的）appeal to all those who take the phrase “Cheer up. Love, it might never happen” as a personal insult （侮辱）. It will be manna especially for creative types, who will have long suspected that crying a lot was a sign of their inward genius （天赋）. During tests at Harvard, the News Scientist reports, people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, especially after receiving feedback that was designed to reinforce their low mood. Although it is old-fashioned to claim that creativity is connected to gloomy moods and a grey outlook on life, all the best stuff is written by some grim-faced （面孔铁青的）people with a heart full of anxiety.‎ ‎　　Richard Yates, whose novel Revolutionary Road is about to win an Oscar, has written seven novels and two collections of short stories, each more hopelessly miserable （悲催的）than the last. After years of accounting the impossibility of his toothless, drunken mother, his experiences in the second world war and divorces, Yates ‎ finally rounds things off in Disturbing the Peace by fictionalizing how a cocktail of alcoholism and psychotropic drugs had him take off his clothes and wander the streets of LA, giving all his money to beggars, convinced that he was Jesus. It is cruel-but so readable.‎ So, although the grand majority will never write anything as good as Yates, there is something to be gained from looking on the dark side. In a work environment, for example, disconnected people tend to achieve greater success than those of a sunny nature. It’s enough to make a pessimist dissolve into a Cheshire Cat grin （咧嘴笑）.‎ ‎68.Mental-health field regard sadness as____.‎ ‎ A. a contributing factor to eventual success ‎ B. a ray of hope to people in difficulties C. a biological part of human being D. a normal disease of the depressed ‎69.What can we learn from the passage?‎ A.The number of people using antidepressants is on the rise.‎ B.Writers are at high risk of suffering from depression.‎ C.Discontented workers may be more popular than the sunny ones.‎ D.Jerome Wakefield and Paul Keedwell have similar views about depression.‎ ‎70.What does the underlined word “manna” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A.Gift B.Pain C.Reward D.Challenge ‎71.The story of Richard Yates shows that depressive men tend to be____.‎ A.unfortunate B.creative C.serious D.brave C Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.‎ My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room, a car for your birthday or a sweet party.” We had to earn our allowance（零花钱）by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep track of our belongings ,and if something was lost, it was not replaced.‎ It was summer and ,one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed---and there it was in the window, white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew---I knew---I had to have it.‎ ‎“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her, “What a neat basket.”‎ I tried to hold off at first, I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer: “Mom, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say, I’ll do anything, but I need that basket, I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”‎ I was desperate.‎ ‎“You know,” she said ,gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up you could buy this yourself.”‎ ‎“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!”‎ ‎“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.‎ ‎“He can’t hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, Please?”‎ ‎“There might be another way,” she said.‎ And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there (washing the car ,helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day ! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon….‎ Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster,this horrible turn of events.‎ And then came the lesson. I’ve taken with me through my life: “Honey, Your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”‎ ‎72. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. The children enjoyed doing housework.‎ B.The author came from s well-off family C. The mother raised her children in an unusual way D.The children were fond of the US president’s daughters.‎ ‎73. By using “naked” (Paragraph 12), the author seems to stress that the basket was____.‎ A. something she could afford B. something important to her C. something impossible to get D. something she could do without ‎74. To the author, it seemed to be a horrible turn of events that____.‎ A. something spoiled her paying plan B. the basket cost more than she had saved C. a neighborhood girl had bought a new bike D. someone else had got a basket of the same kind ‎75. What is the life lesson the author learned from her mother?‎ A. Save money for a rainy day B. Good advice is beyond all price.‎ C. Earn your bread with your sweat.‎ D. God helps those who help themselves.‎ 第二卷（非选择题，共35分）‎ 第四部分 写作（共三节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 任务型阅读 （共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，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：每个空只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。‎ Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.‎ Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.‎ Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.‎ What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues.‎ ‎ It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.‎ So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on.‎ Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.‎ Title Focus on the present Theme To (76) ______ our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.‎ Common(77)_____‎ ‎* We do not focus on our present situation.‎ ‎* Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone to our final destination.‎ ‎* We do not spend the time truly (78)______ where we are today and what we already have in our lives.‎ An(79)______‎ ‎* (80)______ the thought of getting promoted. What we should do is (81)______ our best to do our current job.‎ ‎* To be the best in our current job, we should get further education, work harder than (82)______, stop complaining and (83)______ ourselves to our job.‎ Conclusion If we are (84)______, grateful for what we have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can, we can not only (85)______ in the future, but also enjoy our life every day.‎ 第二节 短文填空（共10空；每空0.5分，满分5分）‎ 根据上下文及首字母提示填入适当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只写1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。‎ ‎ My friend, Mr. Smith is not only an (86)_______(杰出的)businessman, but also a member of Doctor without Borders, which is an international organization that provides free medical services around the world.

I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether the university campus should be open to tourists.‎ Some students argue that tourists should be denied access to university campuses. They think the tourists visiting the campuses will make it harder for students to focus on their studies. Worse still, with so many tourists entering the campuses, some safety problems will probably arise.‎ ‎ However, others hold opposite opinions. They insist that this can bring students and society closer together and is good for cultural exchange between people. Besides, some universities have become a symbol of social civilization and people should be allowed a chance to experience the atmosphere. .‎ ‎ In my opinion, several factors should be considered before opening university campuses to tourists. First, campuses should only be open to tourists on weekends or during holidays. Second, the number of tourists should be strictly limited to ‎ guarantee safety.
