And as a child, that opened up everything,” she explained how it felt like the “greatest sense of freedom”.‎ ‎ This experience lighted a passion within MacArthur. She knew then that she wanted to sail around the world. She had no idea how to achieve it — growing up in the countryside, it wasn’t the most obvious career path — but she knew that was what she wanted to do at some stage. So, she acquired knowledge and saved up for years to seek a career in sailing. She would have potato and beans every day for eight years so that she could save up to buy the right equipment. By reaching certain financial goals and asking technical questions about sailing, MacArthur felt as though she was getting closer to her ambitions.‎ ‎ “When you know where you’re going, you can actually get there — even if it seems impossible. The impossible could be possible and aiming high is not necessarily such a crazy thing to do.” And it seems that MacArthur’s drive to become a sailor went beyond her expectations. At the age of 24, she started to receive media attention after participating in the Vendee Globe, a single-handed non-stop yacht (游艇) race that goes around the world. She came in second place. Some three to four years later, MacArthur chose to sail for 71 days and 14 hours, covering more than 26,000 miles during the course of her journey. This led to MacArthur scoring a new world record in 2005, as the fastest person to sail around the globe single-handedly. While this record has since been surpassed, MacArthur is still considered as Britain’s most successful off shore racer.‎ ‎34. What happened to MacArthur when she was four?‎ ‎ A. She was given a chance to sail. B. She saw a boat for the first time.‎ ‎ C. She sailed around the world. D. She got stuck in a boat.‎ ‎35. What do we know about MacArthur from paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A. She worked as a technician to earn money.‎ ‎ B. She got financial support for her ambitions.‎ ‎ C. She knew clearly about her career path.‎ ‎ D. She prepared herself for her goal.‎ ‎36. What happened to MacArthur in 2005?‎ ‎ A. She became the fastest person to sail around the world alone.‎ ‎ B. She began to gain a lot of media attention.‎ ‎ C. She took second place in a yacht race.‎ ‎ D. She had her record broken.‎ ‎37. What does the story mainly tell?‎ ‎ A. Follow your own course, and let people talk.‎ ‎ B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.‎ ‎ C. Failure is the mother of success.‎ ‎ D. Doing is better than saying.‎ ‎(C)‎ ‎ The world maps will soon be altered to reflect an eighth continent! Dubbed "Zealandia" the landmass that lies east of Australia covers 4.9 million km. Over 94 percent of it is submerged (淹没的) in the southwest Pacific Ocean, with just the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia visible above sea level.‎ ‎ To be clear. The underwater land is not a recent find. Researchers have known about its existence since 1995 when Bruce Luyendyk discovered and proposed an eighth continent that he called Zealandia. At the time, the area was dismissed as a collection of islands and land fragments (碎片), or at the most, classified as a micro continent-a landmass of continental crust that is not geologically connected to the nearest continent, in this case, Australia.‎ ‎ However, after observing the areas features on an underwater topography map, New Zealand geologist Nick became convinced that Zealandia is a continent. Mortimer says that while Zealandia is much smaller than our seven continents. at over half the size of Australia, it is unfair to classify it as a microcontinent. The geologist argues, “If you could pull the plug on the world’s oceans, then Zealandia would probably long ago have been recognized as a continent. ‎ ‎ Geologist Christopher Scotese argues that too much of the landmass is underwater, asserting it’s “almost a continent the way Pluto is almost a planet. Richard Ernst, a geologist, proposes coining a new term minicontinent--for Zealandia. He thinks this is perfect given that it is too large to be called a microcontinent and too small to be classified as a full-sized continent Given that there is no international panel to decide the fate of Zealandia. its future as a continent is uncertain Mortimer hopes that if supporters start using the term Zealandia, it may eventually catch on. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but for now. we will have to be satisfied with just seven continents!‎ ‎38. According to the text, Zealandia .‎ ‎ A was found and named by Bruce Luyendyk ‎ B is made of a lot of visible islands ‎ C is connected to Australia geologically ‎ D covers 94% of the southwest Pacific Ocean ‎39. What does the phrase "pull the plug on" mean?‎ ‎ A. Enter B. Uncover C. Sail D. Fold ‎40. Why does Christopher NOT consider Zealandia to be a continent?‎ ‎ A. It is too small to be a full-sized continent.‎ ‎ B. Some sections of it is just 7 miles thick.‎ ‎ C. Most of it lies under water.‎ ‎ D. It was once just part of the continent Australia.‎ ‎41. What might be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Is Minicontinent a New Name for Zealandia?‎ ‎ B. Is a Continent Appearing in the Pacific Ocean?‎ ‎ C. Is the World Map Going to Be changed?‎ ‎ D. Is "Zealandia" an Eighth Continent?‎ ‎ (D)‎ There have been many problems with our schools today, the biggest of which is closely related to our culture. In general, our culture, as represented in the media, gets excited by famous stars, and constantly stresses that it’s what you have, not what you are, that counts. Parents are encouraged to be away from even very small children for most of the day. Too many voters go for politicians who would rather cut school funding than to get rid of tax cuts for the wealthy. All contribute greatly to the problems of educating our children.‎ Today’s teachers have to deal with a culture that is vastly different than in the past. They report that there is, among more children than ever, a lack of motivation, no drive to succeed or even try. The role models that boys view in the media mostly consist of men in comedies and other shows who are rude and often extremely immature; self-centered overpaid athletes; men in movies, television dramas, video games, etc. who are preoccupied with violence and power. As Leonard Sax wrote in “Boys Adrift”,“Teenage boys are looking for models of mature adulthood, but we no longer make any collective effort to provide such models.” Girls are attacked not only with such ‎ annoying images of males, but also with women who are preoccupied with appearance and are extremely materialistic.‎ In such a cultural environment, it is more important than ever to have responsible, loving and caring parents who have enough time and motivation to devote to their children and see to it as their duty to model for them and raise them with high standards of honesty and responsibility along with tending to their physical needs. They need to care enough to see that their children are not attacked with the garbage that comes from movie, television and computer screens. In today’s culture, they are basically alone in this effort since, unfortunately, so much is working against them.‎ Until we, as a culture, face the truth about ourselves — that we are not providing adequately for a great many of our children — the storm will continue to rage over our education system.‎ ‎42. How is paragraph 1 mainly developed?‎ A. By analyzing causes. B. By showing differences.‎ C. By describing a process. D. By using time order.‎ ‎43. What does today’s culture probably bring to the children?‎ A. Narrow access to entertainment. B. Poor understanding abilities.‎ C. Few materialistic models. D. Little desire for success.‎ ‎44. We can learn from the text that in today’s culture parents need to .‎ A. devote more to their children B. find honest models for their children C. keep their children away from computers D. help their children develop motivation ‎45. What is the author’s attitude towards today’s culture?‎ A. indifferent. B. ambiguous. C. dissatisfied. D. approving.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ ‎ Have you avoided the gym because you’re too nervous or self-conscious (难为情的)? But if becoming healthier and more fit is one of your goals, heading to the gym is probably on your agenda.‎ ‎ First of all, let’s put this into perspective. Your attention may go right to the fittest people in the room who are moving from machine to machine with ease. 46 It’s hard to believe that every single one feels confident. One thing for sure is, repeated action builds up confidence, and the more frequently you go, the more familiar you’ll get with your surroundings and the less nervous you’ll feel. 47 ‎ ‎ Work out a plan. Walk around the gym and check out the busy areas, the less crowded areas, the different machines, etc. 48 Now, with a plan in place, you can confidently move from exercise to exercise.‎ ‎ Start slow with cardio (健心运动). You can also get familiar with the gym by getting onto a stationary bike and going at a relaxed pace. 49 Notice other people and what exercises they are doing to get some ideas, look at the machines around you, and survey the gym to feel more comfortable.‎ ‎ 50. You may feel the need to move quickly from machine to machine. But if you stop to observe others around you, you’ll notice many of them are working out in a relaxed manner. So, take your time, walk slowly and use that time to figure out your next move. Who knows if you’re planning your next exercise or heading somewhere? Other people are so focused on their routine that they’re most likely not paying attention to you anyway.‎ A. Slow down your pace.‎ B. Get the plan ready and then follow it.‎ C. Then, sit down and write out the order of your workout.‎ D. Think of how many people are frequenting gyms each day.‎ E. Use this time to scan the gym instead of wandering around aimlessly.[来源:学§科§网]‎ F. Here are some tips to help you feel more confident in the gym.‎ G. There is no need to be self-conscious about your level of physical fitness.‎ 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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。‎ Kevin Booth had originally planned to take some free food left outside the Sumner Food Bank for people to take when the bank is closed at night.
