What about a dental office that mimics (模仿) the spirit of Disneyland? If you’re looking for a dental office that provides the best care and the best environment, you’re looking for Dr. Licking’s office in Sunnyvale.‎ Office manager Judy, who has worked with Dr Licking for 38 years, speaks highly of his kindness. She believes that the office is “the Disneyland of dentistry”. Everyone from children to their grandparents loves the environment and care they receive from this welcoming office.‎ Dr. Licking is known as the best dental care provider for anyone who fears facing appointments with the dental equipped with an intra-oral video camera, and as a patient you can get pictures of your teeth as you’re walking out of the door.‎ Setting himself apart from other dentists, Dr. Licking continues his education beyond what is required. For this reason, he is one of few dentists in the country who offers ozone treatment. Ozone can naturally stop decay(蛀蚀)in its tracks. For more information on this new technology, visit their website at www.ladjohnlicking.com.‎ Dr. Licking’s office is Diamond Certified, an honor given only to companies with the higher quality after extensive and continual research. Dr. Licking’s office extends an invitation to you to meet their gentle staff and offers you a free office visit, including x-rays and an exam.‎ The office holds extended hours ranging from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Don’t worry if you have an emergency. Dr. Licking’s office responds to all emergencies and urgent ‎ calls.‎ JOHN LICKING, D. D. S.‎ Cosmetic & Family Dentistry since 1970‎ ‎408-736-6235‎ drjohnlicking.com ‎877 W. Fremont Ave. Suite C3, Sunnyvale 1. What is special about the dental office?‎ A It uses the most advanced equipment. B It is decorated like Disneyland.‎ C It has a caring environment. D It provides service for both kids and old people.‎ 2. What do we know about Dr. Licking?‎ A He has developed ozone treatment. B He is the best dentist all over the country.‎ C He has been studying dentistry continuously. D he has worked as a dentist for nearly 38 years.‎ 3. The passage is written to _______.‎ A introduce a famous dentist B show a new treatment for tooth decay C advise people to have their teeth examined D invite people to visit Dr. Licking’s office B Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes and disappointment.‎ My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. ‎ I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was ‎ 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.‎ 1. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?‎ A Start the car the moment everyone is seated. ‎ B Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.‎ C Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.‎ D Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.‎ 2. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closed in meaning to _______.‎ A abandoned B avoided C lacked D taken 3. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ____.‎ A join in the holiday celebration of the company B keep her appointment with the eye doctor C finish her work before the deadline approach D meet her father who was already an old man 4. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A The Two Saddest Words B The Most Useful Rule C The Peace of Mind D The Emotional Well-being C Climate change may make parts of the Middle East too hot for human beings, according to a new study.‎ Researchers have been studying weather conditions in the Middle East since 1970. They say “very hot” days in the area have doubled over that period. They say temperatures in summer in the Middle East and North Africa will continue rising. They believe by 2050, temperatures will not fall below 30 degrees Celsius at night in the hottest part of summer, and daytime temperatures could rise to 46 degrees Celsius. Temperatures at noon could reach as high as 50 Celsius. Heat waves are likely to last longer.‎ ‎“If mankind continues to release carbon dioxide as it does now, people living in the middle East ‎ and North Africa will have to expect about 200 unusually hot days,” says Panos Hadjinicolaou, a climate change expert with the Cyprus Institute.‎ The researchers also looked at the amount of “fine particulate(颗粒)air pollution”in the Middle East. They found that the amount of dust in the atmosphere over Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria jumped 70 percent since the start of the century. This, they say, could have resulted from an increase in the number of sand storms caused by climate change.‎ The researchers created two models. In one model, rising temperatures are limited because of reductions in greenhouse gases. The other model is said to be a “business as usual” model where nothing is done to stop climate change. Under both models, the future of the Middle East is not good, the researchers say. They added that climate change can result in a slow worsening of living conditions for people in North Africa and the Middle East and in time many people may have to leave the regions.‎ 1. The underlined world “fine”in the 4th paragraph probably has the same meaning as _____.‎ A bright B terrible C very thin D high-quality 2. What is the right order of the events according to the text?‎ A Climate change→sand storms→dust in the atmosphere B Sand storms→climate change→dust in the atmosphere C Climate change→dust in the atmosphere→sand storms D Sand storms→dust in the atmosphere→climate change 3. Panos Hadjinicolaou’s attitude towards humans’ releasing carbon dioxide is _______‎ A indifferent B casual C skeptical D concerned 4. Where can we probably read this passage?‎ A In a History Paper. B In a News Report.‎ C In a Literature Magazine. D In a Travel Brochure.‎ D We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets— as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.‎ To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the ‎ Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life —from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TV’s defined 1992. digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. and MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in2007.‎ As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house, ” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 12 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.‎ So what’s the solution? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more one-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.‎ 1. What does the author think of new devices?‎ A They are environment-friendly. B They are no better than the old.‎ C They cost more to use at home. D They go out of style quickly.‎ 2. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research?‎ A To reduce the cost of minerals. B To test the life cycle of a product.‎ C To update consumers on new technology. D To find out electricity consumption of the devices.‎ 3. Which of the following uses the least energy?‎ A The box-set TV. B The tablet. C The LCD TV. D The desktop computer.‎ 4. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?‎ A Stop using them. B Take them apart. C Upgrade them. D Recycle them.‎ 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。选项中的两项为多途选项。（注：选E 涂AB ； 选F涂AC； 选G涂AD）‎ The Do’s and Dont’s Of Settling Family Problem Sometimes something more than consideration is necessary to resolve family issues. How should you cope with a family argument or conflict? Gad Krebs, a Positive Relationship expert, believes you should consider the following three options.‎ Don’t listen to random advice on how to have a successful relation Well intentioned people can offer relationship advice readily available. 16 Firstly, it’s the case where those offering ideal solutions are struggling with miserable relations themselves. Secondly, even though they do enjoy harmony at home, the advice that works for them won’t necessarily work for you. 17 This is a result of the unique personalities of the couple. What works for one couple may be disastrous for another.‎ Ask for professional directions.‎ Businesses employ consultants and the sick visit doctors. These professional specialists can be reliable. Relationships should be no different. Living as a couple will lead to conflict; this is unavoidable. Although some disagreements can be settled by the couple alone, others cannot. 18 ‎ Turning to a competent specialist during a crisis can allow the couple to gain a new perspective on the issue, as well as give them an opportunity to evolve themselves. However, proud people are always unlikely to expose their problems. 19 ‎ Never say “You never” or “You always”‎ In the heat of an argument people can shift their focus from specific and technical complaints—”You are 10 minutes late”— to broad and summary statements— “You’re always late!” 20 It defines not only who they are, but who they always are.‎ A Rely on professional specialists.‎ B Accept this advice and then ignore it.‎ C Most people ask for help when they find themselves lost.‎ D Each relationship operates according to its very own courses.‎ E Criticism can turn poisonous when a specific issue becomes an identity.‎ F It is at this point that they need to be mature enough to seek outside professional help.‎ G Similarity, proud couples, like them, suffer unnecessarily due to their inability to ask for help.‎ 第二部分: 完形填空 (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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Only one woman is responsible for my success: my mom.
